close to your scan limits for the high-gain
antenna, uo vhile you ue making the maneuver,
check your lights. If your scan limit light canes
on, you still have got 15 degrees to play vith.
.
Rk the only message is, should you break lock,
then you ue going to have to go back and reacquire
and do that maneuver over again, because you sre
going to be very close to the edge of your high-

spacecraft over there, aim the c-era as required
to include the earth snd the field of view, and
do not touch the body of the lens vhile televising.

- second point is, of course, when you stop
your passive thermal control, you are about 90 de-
grees to the earth line. so vhen you make that
yaw left, you are going to have to yav left until
your middle gimbal angle is in the vicinity of
60 degrees. You vi11 get the additional 30 degrees
by offset between uhere the camera is pointed snd
your plus x axis. Rut the two together are going
to total up around 90. We just wanted ta make sure

that you understood you were going to be vorking

a? 10 06 45 cc Okay, Bill. I guess I want to belay my last
about using the onboard state vector for MCC 4.
After looking at it some more on the ground,
they've got to get going on making the PAD's
and doing all their canputations, and rather
than put it oif or do it twice, we're going to
go ahead and go with the procedures we've been
using all along. On the lunar orbit stuff,
we've been looking it over and we got several
. @YS - Jack Schmitt end company in the back
rocm- looking at what effect your windows have.
And, basically, it looks like there's two op-
tions that will make an impact on that BEV 2.
One of the options, of course, will be just to
have you and Jim change seats and let Jim look
out and get his SAM that way, and another option
vi11 be to roll the bird over and let Jim point
the optics as far forward as he can get them and
take his SAM through the telescope. And I guess
we'd like to have any thoughts that you folks
have on what you think you can do with the win-

our plans as early as we can. We'd like not to
put it oii 80 that we have none of these things
to do after midcourse. YOU kooks can probably
tell us more about what you can do with those
windows. go if you have any thoughts, go ahead
and sing out with them, and we'll see what we
(
can do about factoring that in.
I
02 10 08 25 IalP Olray- With reference to the midcourse, I think
that's generally agreed upon, that we do it like
we've always been doing it. Now, with respect
to the tidows, center windows, 'essentially, are
usable. The two side windows are - mq be all

right for observation, aad the problem with the
0. rendezvous windows is that they're pretty small.
And I just-thought we'd have to play the window
- game by ear almost. got really sure what capa-
'bility we're going to have. And we.11 give you _
some more thoughts on this later.
-02 10 oq 02 cc okay. How about exercising the idea of rolling
over and having Jim do his polarization through
the telescope because if we have to change at-
