16:59. Out.
CC Skylah, this is Houston through Canary
and Ascension Islands for 16 minutes. Out.
SPT Houston, SPT. Over.
CC Go ahead, SPT.
SPT We've got the Nikon 05 on to continue on
with the stereo photography - the IR photography and found
we can't advance it now we're up to a reading of 45 and it's be-
having as though that's all there is on the film.
CC Okay. Is that on the countup or the count-
down cou _er?
SPT That's the countup. We've got a manual
and there's no countdown on it.
CC Okay and that's NK05?
SPT Affirmative.
CC Okay. Just go ahead and press on with
NK04 and CX55.
SPT We got pictures of the CDR with NK4 and
it's depleted.
CC Understand the NK04 is depleted. Okay.
Stand by.

CC Okay Skylab, this is Houston. Reload NK04
with cassette CXI9 out of H30 in the film vault of F510. Over.
SPT Roger. It'll work.
CDR Bruce, is the tape recorder being dumped?
CC Negative, Jet.
CDR Okay, thanks.
CC Skylah, this is Houston. Over.
CDR Go ahead.
CC Roger. We're going to command CBRM 9 re-
gulator off for this nighttime pass and give you a little back-
ground on why we're doing this right now. We've noted a phe-
nomenon on CBRM 9 which is associated with the behavior of the
third electrode of the battery and basically what it's done is
extended the charge/dlscharge cycle of this battery and CBRM
__ to 2 orbits instead of the normal one. So that right now, what
you're doing is getting a normal charge on every other daylight
pass and then not charging on the ones in between. This is
an anomally that's been seen in ground tests and are planned
- to fix it involved taking it off of the load during this night

SPT That H-alpha filter, when I move off


of the side, I can see Just a little
bit of dust on it. You know, a little
bit of reflection of small particles
on the surface of it. But I would say
it's - clean. But I can see that
small dust reflection. It looks as
though there's several different sizes
of particles too. Some ... large which

CDR Okay, it says, "Rotate the crack slowly


counterclockwise to open the arm,
7 seconds per rev."

SPT Okay.

SPT You know, that's not such a bad thing


now that - now that I'm actually out
here doing it because you can feel Just
a little bit of resistance which is
all the - you're working against all
that mechanical advantage they built
into this thing. You got -

326 19 28 42 SPT I think most of these first few


revs are involved in unlocking this.

326 19 29 16 SPT Got a fair amount of inertia to it.


Get it going a little bit fast that
thing will slow down to where it will
hold that speed for you for the ***

PLT EV-I's okay.

CDR Good show.

SPT 0kay.

CDR Okay, Houston. We're Just getting the


S149 panels deployed.

CC Okay, very good. We're talking to you


through Ascension. We've got about
4-1/2 minutes to LOS.

CDR Roger; and our coolant flow is - all


pretty good, too.

CC Okay, we've about concluded that It'_


a turbine-type flow transducer which
is similar to the ones in the PCV A, and B
lines that we've had trouble _th
be fore.

CDR Okay.

PLT Let me stop here to get my wrist tether


pin down here so I don't happen to hit
anything with it.

CDR Go ahead, Houston.

CC Roger. We've been tracking your


progress through the EVA here, and we
seem to us to be quite aways ahead
of the time line. And we think every-
thing's going along beautifully.
Consequently, we see no reason for you
not to go ahead with S193 operations
when you come to it. If you concur
and we 'we got about a half-an-hour LOS
coming up here before Carnarvon, so
we're going to go ahead and give you
a go for 193 at the present time. Over.

to hear, Bruce. Thank you.

CDR Thank you.

earlier this morning and wanted me
to pass up Thanksgiving greetings to
you all. I told them I'd work it in
at a convenient place so I guess this
is it.

CDR Very good. Pass it back to them.

SPT Thank you, Bruce. Sorry to miss


Thanksgiving with the folks, but

to do while I was here. And that's
fix this thing so that it is perfectly
normal to the Sum .... parallel to

you know that? It Just says,
just remove the tape.

SPT Well, no. That's all right. I can


remove the tape, but where do I put

to you.

I just got a slight overlap on the two

nand them to Bill and maybe he can
hang onto them until one of you could

Te_l you what - toss them back in the
airlock if you can, Bill.

PLT Where do I put it?

326 20 04 50 SPT Time on this. This is a real killer.


Another hour on that thing.

CC Bill, we're go for taping it from

think that small roll of tape - I
think we pulled it out for something.
Didn't we? Ed, you remember when you
said yesterday, "Well, Just put the
small roll of tape in there, we never
use it anyway." And I said, "Yes, Ed
you are right_ We will never use that
tape."

326 20 06 49 SPT Now don't m_ke a move, anybody.


Don't breath. Ah, (laughter) Oh. Hey,
you know what I've - I think I've been

25 minutes on this thing now already.

SPT Yeah. - -

SPT - - ... at least four times. It's Just


not designed - Hey, T'll try that pouch.

CDR It is 316, isn't it Bill. It's right


next to panel 316. That's the one.

326 20 07 50 SPT Okay. I'll tell you, Bruce, I was


able to get the stripped ones on real
well. But the disc ones, for some
reason, I get It all lined up, push
down and I feel it snap in there and
then as soon @s I get lightly touch
the safety re%her that's on it and try to
remove my tether from it, it just falls
right off again. I'm not sure whether the
we got an interface problem. Yt sure
appeared that way to me. What would have
been helpful is to have a - the pip pin which
_e put through the reenter so that it would
Dump Tape 326-06
Page 31 of 44

snap without ever having to have the


other snaps in there, so that we could
Just put the pip pin through and doesn't
matter whether this thing floats a quarter
of an inch off the plate at all. It's still
going to be at the right angles. I'm
afraid in this process, there's a couple
of these things we should't of touched.

CDR That EVA - Does that silver tape not have


a _ n

SPT Make sure of it - -

CDR - - not have a - a tab on it?

326 20 08 46 CC ... you verify that the assembly is

Got some finger marks. The only way I
could do it. I tried pushing on
the outside of that pip pin, the center,
the parts marked for thumb, Yeah, mud
several of 'era and I couldn't - couldn't

MOT1. On day 326, the PLT had one
extra calcium supplement by mistake,
given to him by the SPT. SPT out.

397 15 54 57 PLT This is the PLT to document some


miscellaneous photographs taken with
residual film on transporter 06.
And the takeup is CI21 and Charlie India 21;
the supply was Charlie India 124 and that
was taken with DAC 01 transporter 6 as I
said and the film indicator indicates zero percent
remaining. I attempted to take some
earth-orbital photographs. We have some
taken on day 32 - 327 about 05:00 Zulu of
Mongolia and coming up on China, Peking,
and photographs of the Islands of Japan.
Also, some photographs taken of the U.S.
pass on day 327, GMT approximately 14: -
13:00 to 14:00 and one sequence of photographs
of clouds - standby on the time - and
that was day 927, 15:43 to 15:44 (_T.

327 15 57 32 PLT PLT. Also on that same roll of DAC film


previously referred to, I got pictures of
weather over the coast of Africa going down
over Tangania and Madagascar Island down.
Again, took pictures primarily because
of the cloud formation.

327 16 04 57 SPT SPT at 16:04. PRD readings as follows.


CDR: push down a plus Z SAL, 42.134;
PLT, which is in the center sleep compartment,

from here on these locations will remain
unchanged util we have another EVA or a
Flight Plan update. So I'll Just be giving
you the numbers from here on out. SPT out.

397 16 20 23 SPT This is the SPT at 16:22. Subject:


133 electrolyte. Onboard we have the two
vials of electrolyte we brought up plus
a part of a vial which was left here
from SL-3. When I arrived, there was about
1/3 of a vial left. After using it for the
first three sessions, I have had one quarter

Page 2 of 4

of a vial left. I'm not sure what the


breakdown is in usage between the initial
filling and the new subsequent one. I'll
try and keep a closer eye on that. I
think we can probably milk it along though,
to get out what you need. I'll try and
make a more precise measurement of the
exact length of travel with the plunger
and refillings which connects the subsequent
hand . .. so I'll try to stick with one
hand as far as I can and then we fill another
until as rummy reqtL_red. SPT out.

I have completed the housekeeping, for a 7 day

the following data to read: the service
module source amperage nt_mber 1 was 16.0,
2 was 0, and nt_mber 3 was 16.0. Systems test

327 19 26 ii CDR Tape recorder this is the CDR at 19:25 Zulu.


The question was asked of me late the ds¥ before
yesterday for the data on cap measurement of
blood pressure measurement done on mission day 3.
I've done as _/ch research as I can through the
activation checklist and through our C_.mAnd
module system checklist, and as best I can tell
that data was recorded down on all three crewman
at 02:30 Zulu on that da_. I checked in the
f recordsthat ve have up here and I have full data
on myself and blood pressure data on the SPT,
and I'll - that will follow.

327 19 27 08 CDR Okay for mission day 3, I have no data for the
PLT. For the CDR left arm blood pressure 120
over 64, left leg blood pressure 150 over 88.
Left calf with 13-I/8, right calf with 14-1/4.
For the SPT left arm blood pressure was 140 over
78, left leg blood pressure 170 over 92, and no
data on third measurement. As I remember that
particular day was a very confused day. We were
very, very far behind the time line and I have

327 19 48 17 PLT This is the PLT, in reference to questions on the


T0-25 problem. I will take the questions in
turn. The following questions are asked in
reference to Nikon 0-1 with the T0-25 - -view-
finder. 1. Is the view finder head loose with
a gap between the head and camera body greater
than about a checklist page thickness? The
answer is yes, on facing the back of the camera,
and looking into the viswfinder ... standard of
things you body of .... on activation Checklist

.............................. When 2
originally installed the viewfinder on the
camera, it was difficult to engage and yet when
it was - when it finally clicked. It didn't
really give a satisfying positive sound of
engagement, action after that, it wiggled a
lot. It was loose. Question No. 2. Does the
shuttle speed knob extend uniormly into the cap
on the extension approximately 1/8 of an inch?
No. By measurement using the tape measurement
we used for the anthropomorphic measurement,
it extended in approximately 1-3/4 millimeters,
327 19 49 46 if you want a better gauge, if you will look at
most Nikons, that shutter speed knob has a ribbed
section or part of it and the ribbed section
or the little ... part which gives you the finger
grip control is additionally more or less scored
327 19 50 04 about halfway in between the length of the rib,
which is about a little less than 2 millimeters.
z- It expanded into the tube Just about that distance,
Just about half of that little ribbed distance.
Question No. B. With the view finder off does the
327 19 50 25 camera shutter speed adjust knob free wheel?
Answer, no. Additionally, after we got the camera
back in it, I was going to show the CDR last night
what the problem was, the thing worked Just fine.
which indicated to us a thermal problem, cause
it was actually spinning free. I would Just slip
327 19 50 46 it on my finger and it would Just spin free while
we were EVA. Question No. 4. Is the spring clip
inside the shutter speed extension knob cap
bent near the retaining screw so that the grooved
end is about half way between the top and bottom
of the cap? The answer Is, yes. It appears to
327 19 51 02 be properly configured. Question No. 5. Is the
viewfinder screen all the way in the camera,
below the level of the two holding latches? The
answer is, most probably, yes. The problem in
answering that question is, this particular -
and I think - I think it was well seated, also
it was level enough so that when I put the
viewfinder head on, it would have put it in
position because I held the knob down, the
installation knob, release knob down, while I
was trying to wiggle the viewfinder in position,
so I am confident in giving a guess to that,
327 19 51 38 although there is a remote possibility that there
is some ... however I was thinking repeated
Dump Tape 327-05
Page 3 of 3

installations which I have performed that I would


have gotten the screen to actually ... 2 little
catches. So I believe the answer to number 5
is, yes. PLT that's the end of the cnmments on
327 19 52 08 the T0-25.

328 19 53 43 PLT PLT reportin_-a-J_ed-_-transporter ....... :


number 6. I had to take the transporter
apart and build it again inside the
transportor. IAlso I'd like to comment
on the efficacy of the film vault in so
far as restraining or retaining or holding
the items th_ are placed into them.
There are a c_uple of - I can pick out
three what I _onsider to be major design
error on the _esiEn of the fiLm vault.
One is the to_tal lack of engineering mass
harmony between the bulky, heavy, massive
doors and thel tiny useless dlal latch
that's used t5 hold them closed. The
dial latch is_continually coming loose;
you can slam _he left side of the film
vault and the iright side will come open,
which is a haZard to the film. So the two
dial latches _ere very, very poor choice
in so far as ,_he latch to hold the doors
closed and JeOpardized the storage of the
film. One oil,
them is broken_ the one on
the right sid_ is broken and it's been
taped in repair. And this is the one that
continually f_les open when you close the
left side. U_less you notice it, you can
walk off and _eave the right film door
ajar. It has Ibeen seen to swing open as
far as a foot I and a half.

CREW ...

328 19 55 08 PLT By the way, d_/ring activation that door :


was found ope_, so the film that was in
drawers B through L may have been exposed
to considerable radiation, and as I say,
this is due t_ a - what I consider to be
an inexcusabl_design error in using the
:: dlal latch to_hold those doors closed.
Also, there ip no - nothing between the
drawers. There's no protection between
the drawers a_d items - the drawers are
very, very poorly designed in holding items
that are - that tend to be placed in it.
The teflen isluseless ; it slides out of
P
Dump Tape 328-06
Page 2 of 3

position, it does not hold a


position. The teflon holders for the
film hold the film in, but they don't
stay in the drawers. They float free.
They're conti_1,ally getting away and
items that fYoat free from one drawer
will float u_ when you open the drawer
above it. T_ey'll float up inside in
space and when you get ready to close
the drawer, Mou'll slam it into thyitem
that has flo_ted in behind. I have JAmmed -
hit the SO19 !film canisters twice during
this, because they have floated out of
position. And the re - retainer for one,
and the one I brought up there was no
retainer for it. And it's floated up and
out of position and I'm going to try to
Jury-rig something to restrain that.
So the drawe_s themselves have - the
restraining _pability is almost
nonexistent. I The - all of the cameras
are loose, f_bating around - Jiggling
all around. _nd the velcro straps are
useless because there is - a single velcro
strap is ver_, minimal in so far as its
ability to re_ain the - a single camera
that has a lens attached. There was
Just very, ve_ little thought given to
design use fo_ camera equipment. That
together wit_ the fact that there's no
space in between the drawers. It makes
the film vaul_c a very difficult item to
use and it's _ust caused a continual waste
of time in re, towing items and reeanning
items, and also you really bit me on the
stowage of the one drawer where I - where
we brought up; - it's called the film -
the drawer - Zhe polariod camera. That
drawer is Jam-packed and there's nothing
to restrain any of the items and every time
that drawer is opened, about 50 Jillion
items come floating out of there. And
to end, there)s Just - the items in the
film vault in Ione g may have worked, but
if there was Very little design ...,
at least incoi"porated into the design
of the zero-g ifilm vault.

328 19 57 51 PLT Comment -on £i_e h_[nets in which our


tools are kept. The same criticism
applies to th_ tool drawers. There's
no space in _etween the tool drawers.
And tools, o_ course, with Mosite cutouts
again had ver_ little ... here in
designing them. The very small items
which requir_a large percentage of
the total surface - the item's in friction
with the Mosi_e continually. Because the
cutouts have _ittle surface contact with
the Mosite, _ ,ey tend to float out of
position. C¢ iversely, large items, like
a ... have AI _ost a I00 percent on the
outside perim _ter area in contact with
the Mosite AT | they're too hard to pull
out. So - bu; anyway, the same problem
exists in the film drawer in that small
items tend to float free, and get in the
way of drawe_ above, and when a drawer
is pulled out! and then when you get ready
to close it, _t won't close• So I need
to be - there|needs to be spaces between _i

stowage areas.
I

328 19 58 59 PLT One other thing I thought about on the •


film vault an_ that is a high degree of _
tatter [?] f_ction, I would call it, in _
closing the d_awers. The drawers are very I
difficult to _ove and this causes a tatering
as you close_d open the drawers, {
mainly on eldsing. But this tends to upset
and Jiggle aE_ rough up the items that are
contained in _hat drawer. And it's very
irritating a_ time consuming Just to open
a drawer in the film vault in order to not
only damage t he contents but to avoid
B28 19 59 33 spilling them out into zero g.

329 04 46 53 SPT This is the SPT, at 04:46, and I'd like


to ask a question of the floks who sent up the
medical status on the teleprinter. There's
a line which follows the supplement, which
we should take each day, before lying down,
in the med status which was sent to the
SPT. And I cannot understand what those
numbers are. For example, on day 324, we
had something sent up for the corresdent
day of the year 321, which was 2607 for
the CDR; 4500 for the SPT, and 3393 for the
PLT. I was plotting up the othere data, which
has been sent up, which is very useful, but
! cannot understand what these values are and
!'d Like to have that clarified.

329 04 47 46 SP__ Thank you.

329 04 47 48 SPT SPT out.

329 04 49 16 CDR This is the CDR, at 04:49 Zulu. The subject,


time utilization. The mA_n addressees for
this w_ll be the FAOs. I think, looking back
over the week that's been behind us, the best
word I can think for - to describe it, is
frantic. I think it's too bad that we
have to put ourselves in this kind of a
position, where we're Just breaking our necks
trying to get a lot of stuff done. It
would have a whole lot better, I think,
at least, for our morale, if for nothing
else, if what took us a week could have
been spread into two weeks. Because the
biggest time consumers we had were finding
things because we were not really familiar
with - with locating everything.

329 04 50 16 CDR A_d I think body positioning was also a


time consumer. Getting to where you wanted
to go and then, anchoring yourself, and
then getting what you needed. And learning
to cope with your new environment Just
takes a great deal of time. I think you
could probably tell from our voices that
we were very, very frustrated, and becoming
Dump Tape 329-04
Page 2 of 4

very irritated, out about day 5 or so, because


we Just for - no matter how hard we tried, and
how tired we got, we Just couldn't catch
up with the Flight Plan and it was a very,
very demoralizing thing to have happen to us.

329 04 50 5k CDR Now as it stands right now, we've finished


day 9, we've got our household pretty well
set up, and I think we're pretty well organized
now. But I think we still have a good
possibility of getting behind again. I'd
like the GAOs to keep this in keep this in
mind if they wou *** during all of thier
flight planning, because I think it's
paramount that _ be able to stay up with
the schedule, get our work done, and have
a little bit of time to spare. Because I
think if we have that kind of timeline, that
we'll be able to get our work done without
mistakes.

329 04 51 34 CD._ I think it would - as I look back over the


last weekm there were very, very many mistakes
made by us. There were very many dumb
questions asked. And it was because we were
in a hurry, and we didn't have time to
properly research anything. We take a couple
of wild stabs at trying to find something,
or do something, and then because of the
lack of time, we Just had to flat give up,
and ask for help.

329 04 52 O0 CDR And, as I said before, this is very demoralizing


for the crew.

329 04 52 04 CDR And I'm sure the ground didn't wasn't too
much impressed with our performance, as
far as activation was concerned.

329 05 09 23 SPT SPT at 17:09. Subject of general interest


to the M131 folks. The feeling of
orientation, persists, which I mentioned once
before, and that is, if you're in the 1-g
orientation in any of the structures we were
working into especially in the OWS, and in
the co_msnd module, everything seems pretty
Dump Tape 329-0h
Page 3 of h

familiar, and you can ... yourself that


you're in the Skylab itself as opposed to the
trainer. However, if you spend any deal of time
at all in a different body orientation -
sideways, upsidedwon - especially in one
of the rooms in the experiment compartment
or in the wardroom, you find that it is not
as familiar to you as - as it is in the other.

329 05 i0 22 SPT It's quite a noticeable difference. And then


when you start rotating back to the 1-g attitude,
Just all of a sudden the location of
around oh, 50 to 30 degrees or so, your mind
all of a sudden says "Yea_h, that's familiar
I've seen that before." And Just sort of
clicks. There's nothing in any way disturbing
about it. It's Just kind of an interesting
phenomenon. I Just notice that there is a
sharp transition in my mind when I grow close
to 1-g orientation after being some other
orientation for a good period of time, maybe
up to a minuteor so.

it but then it drifted away. I'll find it,
probably tomorrow, and put fresh batteries in
that head. Now that should have - complete
the installation of batteries for now, except
for the spot meter which I have not replaced
the batteries in yet.

329 05 17 44 PLT Also, I have taken the batteries that I have


taken the batteries - all the batteries that I
have, and put them - put them in a single bag,
and put them in the S063 compartment. Battery -
drawer, rather G now has been modified to
hold Nikon cameras, and I intend to put all
Nikon cameras in that drawer unless you
feel that there's too much radiation in there.
And I can't see why the fact that it was
cycling to the film. But by taking the batteries
out of there, I got enough room in Drawer G,
so that I can put the Nikon there, and have
f a single drawer. I have modified it so that
it does not knock the cameras about like
back there in the drawer.

329 05 18 27 PLT I have a method of restraining the cameras

operates h_ve been unable as yet to
see any stars. It looks like we've
pretty wel ! blown this night pass
as far as _etting any of the S019
pictures, _ut I hope I can profitabley
spend this!time to trying to get it
focused an4 try to find the starfield.

329 19 28 47 PLT Okay, PLT _ere co_nenting on the tape -


the alignment of the thermal detector,
S192. C_nt on the procedure on
page 10-13. First, after having ...
as the focus adjust fully toward the
micrometer s and then turning it away
from the micrometers, I was able to
F get a peak iof about 41 percent. I
haven't re_d the mies yet, but I don't
think - it!s pretty material - I don't
think it'll help any. The peculiararity
here is thst when I reverse the direction -
even afterlgoing all the way to stop,
the other _sy, that is fully away from
the micrometers, I can never get a peak
going back toward
1 the micrometers. I
could onlylget a peak going away from the
micrumeter8. I could get a peak, but
it's well, well below the peak I would
get by adjusting the focus know in a
direction away from the micrometers, so
it's not w_rking as advertised, as none
of the 192 !equipment that rarely does.
I wasted a_ awful lot of time on a p_ece
of equipment which has caused us nothing
but trouble and unless we have some more
advice, will leave it on hl percent.

329 19 32 19 PLT This is the PLT reporting the micrometer


readings that they are as advertised:

329 19 39 19 PLT _my, _this is the PLT recording on


page 1-9 of the EREP se- section.
Alfa 5 is reading 66, Bravo 2
reading 61; Bravo 3 is reading 76;
Charlie 5 is reading 83; Charlie 6,
48; Delta 5, 14; Delta 6, 56.

329 19 48 57 CDR This is the CDR at 19:48 Zulu. The


subject is time allocation and this
will be for the FAOs. I think the
exercise that I Just completed with the
SO19 is a classic example of not
enough time allowed before the experiment
is to be done to allow a good familiarization
with what it is you're going to do.
I picked up S019 from the PLT because
he was running behind, and I think it
would have been a lot better had - it
would have been alot less rushed had
we allowed a little bit more time at
the beginning in order to set things
up. I would suggest at least on
the first running of each of these
exercises - each of the experiments,
for instance, S18B, SO19 ; for each
man that you ol,ght to allow at least
asouther 15 minutes on ahead of
the first operator exercising the
experiment in order to give the
operator a chance to really think
out what he's going to do, and get
a little bit more familiar with the
equipment. 1

330 03 ii 22 PLT And in looking through the malfunction


procedures, _t leads me to a bax '4 at
EREP MALF 1., which is intervelometer
fails. Now earlier today when Y ran
into this - all the difficulty with the
S190 film, I stopped S190 becasue I
thought there would be no purpose in
have - putting that film load in the
middle of a ehec checkout unless there was
film to be u_ed in the checkout. So
I stopped 19Q operations and +hen when
I got to loo_ing back at it I saw that
someone had _lipped a ringer and put a
film load right in the middle of the
checkout, which I thought was a pretty
stupid thing ito do. But at - any way
this is why _ didn't go ahead and pair
the 190 electronics checkout earlier
today with the EREP check.

is handhelp _hotography. At 03:56, I
t_ook at Nikon picture from the wardroom
window on magazine number Cxl9, on day 330.
The first frame, which Is number 17, was
Nagoya Harbor. And that more of a gll-shiz
picture than anything else. I was interested
in the harbor, a Japanese harbor, and the
fact that it was so clear this day. I thought
that there might be an interesting bit of
just gee whi_ information of this picture.

330 04 02 08 CDR The next frame was taken 03:58. It was


frame number 18. The subject was a large
band of clouds. It was it was rather m - much

330 04 02 35 CDR It was a great wi-de band with an eddy at the


end of it and the eddy was right over Tokyo
Harbor.

330 04 xx xx PLT This is PLT _ecording the questions on 193.


What is the condition of S193 insulation in
general, and!specifically in the areas around
the gimbal aud on the back of the antenna.
Specifically in the areas around the gimbal
and on the back of the antenna, the insulation
is virtually intact. Possibly a few small
pieces of insulation flew off, but there were -
small stripped spaces here and there. Hut
there - there are no gaps or holes in the
insulation on the back of the antenna. The
antenna is in very good shape.

330 04 xx xx PLT The back of it. And the gimbals, although


I pulled the insulation away - sprang it
away to look ifor contamination, the material
sprung back _nd there was no insulation
stripped away from the gimbal, except the
odd sort of stip or piece that happened to have
been !osted 9n that flew off. And in othere
words, it is fully covered. The worst part
of the ripping away of the insulation occured
where the Jumper box was installed it was -
bit it was sdbsequently covered with a small
_lanket. The other area was where the shorting
]_lug was installed and this is the only area
that is still naked where it was originally
covered with insulation.

330 04 _X _ PLT And there's an area about 6 inch square


around the shorting plug itself which is
not covered By insulation. And that is on
the flat surface, which contains the Jumper -
excuse me - the shorting plug connector.
Described the deb-de-debris reported floating
the area S193 (color and size of pieces).
Do you think it came from the S193 thermal
blanket or from another source? Was an
additional quantity noted after operations
were completed? First question: The debris
was the smal_ pieces of aluminum coated Mylar
or whatever _hat insulation is.

.-- 330 04 XX XX I'LT And there prgbably- were on the order of


25 to 50 pieces of that floating around at

oue time and _aybe more. But _t very


quickly dispersed the area due co the
output of the gas in the PCUs. And I
do think it Came from the thermal blanket.
That's affirmative on that. And, let's see,
at the was an additional quantity noted after
operations were completed? The answer to that
is, no new pieces, if that's what you mean.
Now we looked around after we got - were coming
back. We could see the sparklies and later
on that evening looking out the wardroom
window, we could see those small pieces reflecting
light for quite a period of time. It looked
like we had Our own sort of star field.
Describe the location of the debris seen in
the pitch pot. Was it near the minus i0 end?

330 04 lh O0 PLT Was it visible between the fiberglass pot


cover in the pot structure? Okay, the way I
described it before your head is in a position
which we use in training, the people who
watched us train for this will know what I
mean, you - you have the - your looking facing
the back of _he antenna with the pitch pot
gimbal wiper 'arm on the left. Then you
reach up with your left hand and peel the
insulation o_f to the left or move the
fiberglass cover up slightly to the left and
you can put Tour head to the right and peek
in and you c_n and you can see along the path
of the woper iarm. The debris was noted at
the far end as if - if- if you look at this
from the per_4pective I'm describing.

330 04 XX XX PLT And there was J_mmed up in the upper end of


it - there was a small piece of insulation.
It looked like insulation. It may have been
nothing. It may have - it may have been a
part of thw wiper arm ... But it was a shiney
piece, which I was able to see with the
flashlight dt_ring the nightside of the pass,
2 to 3 centimeters square, and it was
packed towar_ the end of that wiper arm.
!

330 04 XX k-X PLT And I had no _ool available, which was


suitable for !getting that out without a lot
of structual '_dRmAge. A tool which I thought
F would be satisfactorywould be somethingabout

the half the Is_ze-of the spatula with


an icepick t_pe point on it. In other
words, a nar%ow point which I could reach
in and stab _nd pluk out the piece as you
would pluck out a splinter out of your
skin. I don't think tweezers are a
satisfactory tool to use EVA because of
the lack of dexterity with EVA gloves.
And I think _he - a screwdriver is a too
crude of an _nstrument to use in there
around that - that pot wiper arm. And
the only too_ I think is satisfactory is one
l've described as something that's fairly
pointed, nar_'ow, flexible and one that
you could us@ to get in there and sort of
stick the ... and pluck it out.

TIME READINGS ARE ERRATIC

330 13 25 XX CDR This is the CDR at 13:25 Zulu. The


subject is handheld photography. At about
13:15 we began the run over northern Africa.
The targets that were assigned is optional
to us. We're handheld target 119, 08h,
093, and 101,16. 119, the Atlas Mountains,
we got one Nikon picture. It's on good old
Charlie X-ray 19 and it's frame number 19
taken at F/8 1/250th. I did not have time
to do much more then to take the picture.
We'll try to get some observations and some
eolmnent data on a subsequent pass. Simultaneous
to the Nikon picture, we had a 16-millimeter
DAC going at the same time. We had a few
feet left over from yesterday's exercise so
we burnt it up this morning. The magazine
that was used was / - that the film / is on -
is Charlie I_dia 6h. The settings were
a 10-millimeter lens, f/ll Y50Oth and
12 frsmes per second. And Bill - once we
crossed the north African coast - Bill
started the DAC going and kept it running and
i thin}[ we got well down into the southern
part of the Sahara Desert before he ran
out of film.

330 13 27 ]CX CDR This is the CDR again at 13:26 with an


aide _d_n to my last handheld cram.era message,
an addendum indicating that the Nikon camera -
we're using the rotten filter on it at
the moment. We have not yet located
our Ace filters and we're going to be
interested to see how the Rotten filter
has affected our pictures.

330 13 3Y _ CDR This is the CDR at 13:30 with another


addendum to the hendheld message I _ant
down at about 20. I should h_ve noted that
the Atlas Mountains have a light sprinkling
of snow on them and h pretty well accentuates
the mountain structure.

i MO7h task. The task itself takes on
i the order of 30 minutes and in order
to get from where you were back to
where you're going, you need a little
bit of pad in that. I think later on
we may be able to cut that down but
right now, I think intelligent flight

I did see a star at 329 and .7 and 03.1,
but I didn't have a reticle to center
across there, however, it's fairly
" close to the center of the field of

330 15 39 34 FLT And, this is Just a comment from the


crewmen. For experiments like S019
and 183, we ought to have a minimum
of a half hour to get ready for these
first few times. We had - I had
housekeeping tasks, scheduled right
up to, oh, about 5 or i0 minutes
before - 15 minutes, I guess, actually,
looking at the pad - 15 minutes before.
But, the other task - excuse - mY time
on the other task. So this put me
right up to the pad on ... 19 and I
was reshed. I had very little time to
digest it, and - this is I think how
you're getting bad data. I reapol-
igize for it, but I don't - I don't
feel it was my fault. I think it was
probably flight planning. I've completely
fouled up your observations on refer-
ence - correction - field number 265.
I'll try to give you a good one 249,271.
I takes a good quarter hour Just to get
mentally prel0ared to do these exper-

even though {_6Ts-_et up. You need, to


have you co_e right to the experiment
at the time ilt's called out on the pad.
Although th@re was a period of time
here prior observations, there was
i_mnediate activity in doing the refer-
ence guide. So, there was really no
S time for mental reflection and trying
• to look and see what it was you were
trying to do. The answer to that of
course, is to study it the night
before, but iwe don't have these the
night befog. We have them in the

feeling while sitting in the motionless

on a _ a swash plate or a tilt plate.
And that is I was rotating around the ver-

y_,_d at the same time, sort of in a wobble
mode, much like the wobble mode when you
spin a milk bottle or something like that.
However, the long axis was _. The reason
why the system stopped at 65 ahead movements
is that my foot slipped off of the - of the
foot restraint. And when - as I was bringing
it back on, I hit the end of the foot re--

parently the system is designed to shut down
if any force is felt in +.hat direction, in-

early in the mission, we male the remark
_hat we were getting as much as one ounce
of - of air into the drink bags and about
half ounce into the food. But we were
logging that and compen_ating for that in
our log. A couple of days later the water
bubble situation improved to the point where
we :_aid the average daily :'econstitution
problem was about one half ounce of water
per dri_uk. A_id I said that from that time
on we would say no rehydratable water problems
and the ground would assume that there was
a loss or a minus of one half ounce of water
per drink. Now, since we have s_rltched to

for awhile. And last night _e felt that we
were finally in a position ',owhere we could
honestly say that there is no need, a[__ further.,
That is as of last night. Now,we will con-

CY, which is now reading 357.7, and then
back to BERILLIUM COUNT, it will also stay
at 357.7. The BERYLLIUM COUNT seems to pick
up the last value on that display. In other

330 20 49 h9 SPT SPT at 20:50. The subject is the checkout


of the XUV SLIT. And, looking at the white
light display, it appears as though there
is awf'al lot of Just plain electricalnoise
in the signal going to the display. However,
MONITOR i, which has been replaced, appears
to give a better image than MONITOR 2.
Perhaps it's Just because the white is whiter
is darker, so I get a greater contrast. I
can see no solar features whatsoever in
the position I am right now, which Sun
center - particularly a white display with
the fiducial marks. Fiducial marks appear
reasonably well defined, if you believe that
the ends of these fiducial marks are all
rounded, rather than square. ?his was what
was led to believe before we lifted off.

couple flashes of light at the end of the
motor drive - There's another one. Three
flashes at the end of hte motor drive
sequence. Nothing bad. And then another
one. So that's four flashes total and the
green light and the white light did come
on at the actuation of three sets which was
dark. The green light is still on now.
What is supposed to he - apparently sup-
posed to be the green light ; is actually
a sort of brownish-red light. Yeah, .. .,
I'll cut through the motor drive noise.
There's another flash of the white light.
Another one. I only got two flashes
another one, third flash. With the green
light, the SEQUENCE ON light, it's not
green, is virtually useless as an indicator
because it's so dim. However, for your
purposes I'm reporting the lights green
because you want to know whether the equip-
ment is working or not and apparently it is.
The only thing is the green light as and
indication is useless, particularly for EVA.

Day is 331. Time 02:58. Upper limb,
H-alfa 1 pl - plus 1028. 82B with plus 1037.
55 was plus 1031. The lower limb, 82B was
minus 919. 55 was minus 918. The left
limb, H-alfa 1 minus i000. 82B 998. 55
minus 999. The right limb 82B was plus 961.
55 plus 965. The 55 mirror position was 1032.
When I gave H-alfa i mamlal exposure at
each of the four limbs, about the first
one I took two exposures, the second one ...
correct. The first alignment on the upper
limb had me coming out a little bit too far
inside when I went to the lower limb. So
I went back at - to the upper limb and changed
the H-alfa reticle so that I would be
equidistant from what I took as to be the
llmb but which was actually a little outside
of the limb.

331 15 03 27 SPT So use the second one for the upper limb and
the remaining three are good for the other limb.

CDR You'll probably have to move the camera


down some and zoom it right in.

CDR Okay, while I'm pumping along here,


Bill's going to go over and zoom in and
give you a close-up of my feet. I have
personally found that the best socks to
wear for this treadmill are the feet cut
out of a pair of - of half union suit
because the cotton is a little more
slippery;has less nylon in it. Also
it's quite a bit more absorbent. As
your feet get hot and sweaty, they are
inclined to stick a little bit, I think,
on the Teflon. And if you wear the more
absorbent socks, they stay drier.

treadmill. I think we have our hands full
right now Just walking. Ed says he tried.

CDB Yes.

CDR Well no Just let him have some time on

the termination of sunside pass ATM.
Building block 2h was executed right
after a quickie building block 32.
Active region 87, I noticed, was
beginning to build up in intensity.
There were two little knowts of
red or bright plage beginning to

the eastern sunspot, the eastern large
sunspot in active region 87. I noticed
a build ... that was northeast about
50 arc seconds from this eastern-most

that it probably wasn't getting through
because channel A headset was hooked up.
I'll repeat the report in the event you
didn't get it. That is that I completed
building block 32 as scheduled in J0P 6
then went on, set up building block 24
at J0P 3 Bravo. I notived two areas
in active region 87 brightened relative
to the two sunspots about 50 arc seconds
northeast of the left or wester -
eastern-most sunspot of the two large
sunspots. I notived a brightnening of
the plage and then it faded and about
1 minute later two knowts along the
neutral line which runs south of these
sunspots, or between them wouth and
between them. This piece of plage
began to brighten very noticeabley and
about that time the gournd passed up
the word that NOAA had reported bright-

this - these two knots of brightening

noticeable brightening in XUV; I was
watching very closely for any bright

much more useful for me to work at th
lower level. I had a sense of rotation
especially at the last two levels. And
the targets never moved in direction
other than expected. And, again, my
additional comments are: I think I
ought to be going to a lower level. I

CORONOGRAOH on television. The

And as I stand looking at
the television pictures, I see a
rather strong ray, coronal ray,
emenating out from about the 7 o'clock
position on the WHITE LIGHT
CORONOGRAPH. This ray is stronger
than it was this morning when l
took the picture. The picture was
taken at about 14:45 Zulu. As I look
in H-Alpha 2, I don't see any
feature down there that could
be causing that, although it could
be active region 90 or active
region 84, because that's Jusl
about the location of active
regions. I have not been able
to see active region 90, which
is called out on the SAP as being

that active region 90 is located.

•.. about three handheld photos, CX 19,
frames 40, 4!, and 42. They were
taken on a large low close to Hawaii,
the circulation pattern was very
evident. The one feature different
that anyone we've seen before was the
exceptionally extensive and thick
cloud blanket associated with one
front. Appeared to branch-out to
be at least a thousand miles - thick-
ness, and perhaps a little bit - a
thousand miles long and maybe four or
five hundred miles in width. The
second arm of it was also well-defined,
although it was not anywhere near as
think or dense.

332 01 O0 46 SPT For such a large system, the amount


of thunderstorm activity coming up
through the tops of the cirrus did not
look any larger than any I have seen
overshooting cloud tops• Also the very
center of the storm was relatively
cloud free• There was enough clouds in
there to find the circulation pattern,
however, there didn't appear to be any
really significant weather associated
with the very center. This is in
contrast to the lows which I have
encountered up in North America. SPT

of Hasselblad film with 100-millimeter
lens. The first two frames were taken
in the window mount, the third frame
was taken at a more ablique pointing
back toward the north. It was hamdheld,
and I think that we're going to find
that the h_udheld photos are better than
the window-mounted photos are better than
the window-mounted photos because the
_rlndow mount does vibrate. The weather
over the target area was extremely clear.
The lakes were quite clear, and I did
not have time to really look at the
difference in color between the different
lakes, but my general impression was
that the the lakes were all about the
same color. The old done area was
quite visible. Just to the - Just to the

l_'d been better off, I think,
__ if they'dhave leftoff the -
the brown sort of pedestal or
on_-inch-thick border around
the food preparation table -
would have been better leI_
off because it robs us of a
lot of foot restraint and the
strap restraints aren't any
good anyway. So I think that
probably the aft compartment
is pretty good. The rest of
the spacecraft is very poor
for wroking becuase of eight
volume of arrangment or lack
of foot restraints. The one
thing that is lacking
throughout the spacecraft is
the provision of temporary
stowage restraint of
equipment. You find yourself

too loose, too tight, can't get
them out, breaking your
fingernails off trying to get
a magazine out; or there's no
provision at all for holdin_<
things. Cameras, there
seems to me to be a need for
some way of putting - devishug
slots of movable partitions
_n a drawer to allow for

ha7: ro way - I'd have _s


t_k_ _ urine bag c_mtr'd_-r,
take the cardboard from _t,
mud _ut it up to make
p_'_ions for our film h'a_ -.
The straps are dull - no you
can use velcro straps and they
_- were in there,but therewere
not enough to handle all the
equipment we have now. But
a simple think like drawers
and doors has really impressec_
me as beeing very po,rly
designed.

332 17 30 50 PiT Now without going into detail,


the - another area where the
drawers are poorly designed is
the tocl boxes and the tool
box compartment. And this
applies back to the film vau! _ .
There are no partitions top
and bottom between drawers ;
the be!tom of the drawer above
serves as a partition, and
when it's pulled out, the
item in the bottom - in the
drawer below drifts free.
It can get in the way of
the drawer above, and wehn you
get ready to close it - of
course, you don't know this -
but when you get ready to
d

D'_mpTape _2-_

close it, then you close it


on the item. Now if it's
a nonfragile item, you
have not lost anything. But
it has caused you difficulty
in that your going to pull
the drawer out, restowe the
item in a drawer below, which
is then ... which testifies
to the fact that we have poor
- poor restraint capability.
And the Mosite is not the
greatest thing, since peanut
butter as far as stowing
loose items.

332 17 31 4_ F_'U Large _tems have a ... like


95, 98 percent of friction
surface holding them and then
it takes about a I00 po_Ids
of pressure to pull them out.
_- Small itemshave about,oh, !0
percent of a surface with
friction contact with the
Mosite and they drift free.
Then we've got a complete
spectrum of more or less
resistance to pulling or
drifting free of items that
are stowed in cutouts. We -
we've got a long way to go for
making Just simple cutouts
for an individual piece of
equipment.

332 17 32 15 FLT Back to the tool drawers.


They slide freely but they
also slide out, and l've pulled
them oi_ a couple of time. We
talked about this before
even when we're talking about
M487. I don't like the idea
of a drawer pulling free
without having to take some
action on _v part. Also, it'd
be nice if the drawer pulled
completely out if you do have
D_Lmp Tape 3_-_"
Page 6 of ___

the restraint device as _he


drawers in the film vault do.
They pull out; you can pull
them all the way out of the
container. Back to the film
vault for a minuS_e, something
else just - I Just recalled.
The film vault doors open
against each other in such
a manner you can only open
one at a time. Also, the
thing has to be opened a full
180 degrees before you can
pull the drawers free, I
think that's a poor design.
I know it probably was meant
that way to save sapce between
the ÷wo columns of drawers.
in o[ner words, you don't have
to - they did not want to
wa. < that volume in there.
-- But in any event it does
restrict your operation lead;
you have to close one door and
then the other. A lot of
times you're transferring
th_ngs from one side of the
film vault - film stowage
vault to the other, and
this causes difficulty.

332 17 3h 0: _21 Now the closing of the


doors on our lockers in the
wardroom the wardroom and
the sleep compartment type
and the tool container type
drawers. Now these are the
ffockers that have the 700
numbers on them and the
600 numbers on them and the
900 numbers. Those things
are very, very poorly designed
in that they - you don't get
Fositive latch, and sometimes
they stick and sometimes they -
_v,_r the slightest thing Js_e.l
_ the side of them. of course,
h . .e difficult. I think
the thing is Just a little -
_ the latchis Just too delicately
designed. They also fail; we've
had several that - I have one
in my lock compartment that I
can't use.

332 17 3h L2 PLT Now let's go to the - the MDA,


I want to make this comment
before I forget it. I think
the layout of the MDA, the
numbering of the lockers and
stowage locations is very
confusing, and also the
locatability of items,
]¢cker and stowage locations
Jn _h_ MDA is very bad. _,Te've
got to come up with a better
system than in locating
the lockers; it's hard to
move around the MDA, it's
harff %o work in the MDA, hard
te find things. There are
very, very few restraints,
there are no - no foot
restraints other than the one
trader the ATM and the one that's

_,ov_ _ for EREP and for


the ... precessing facility.

332 17 35 21 PLI However, not only does it


make it difficult to do jobs
in the MDA, but it is also
causing us a lot of problems
in that the rate gyro package
which, to be sure was an add-on
item and a contingency contains
the installation, but never
the less becuase of our
inflexibil - our lack of
positive positioning in the
_A, we've kicked the rate
gyros a couple of times and
cause_ the things to go into
coarse gain which can cause
control problems. All I'm
_:_yln_ is not only is it an
convenient device, but it can
F '_iso causeyou operational
problems, so it's not just a
pitch for greater maneuverability
and greater ease in operating
in it, but it can also lead
directly to very serious
operational problems.

332 17 36 20 PLT And one of the other things


that impressed me as a continual
problem is the need for small
slip clips, that is permanently
mounted clips that are springed
against the surface under
which you could, say, slide a
card or piece of paFer. I've
noticed expremely - an extreme
smour_t of difficulty in handling
Faper. I wanted to sift
through my daily pads to check
on something on a film loading
pad one time; I had made
a mistake in locating one of
r_f - stowing one of my
magazines. And in doing so,
I find it extremely difficult
Dump Tape 332-08
Page 9 of 25

te file - to sort through


loose rapers. It would have
been awlfully nice to have
these located around so you
could sit there and you could,
say, if you had a stack of
sheets_ small sheets in your
hand, you could go from your
left h_nd and handle it with
your right hand. You could
take them with your right
h_d or your left and and slip
them under the spring clip
one at a time and then - in
that manner sort of leaf
through a stack of paper.
But it is a problem, and I
think they drift freely
easily.

332 17 37 21+ _]T And future spacecraft, it


-- seeps to me has got to have
lots of these things located
around any kind of a work
stations. For instance,
around the wardroom window
there ought to be at least a
half a dozen of those -
something that would serve the
purpose. I'm not trying to
design for the disigners, hut
a spring clip - and what
I'm talking about is a ... spring
we can just press against a
permanent surface, and Just
sort of mount it there and flat
sort of out of the way,
probably not raised over quarter,
a half inch. But it's Just there
and you can slip a card under it.
And I would say that there is
a _remendous need for locatin_
a lot of these all over the
spacecraft, everywhere you
could put them in without
causing any problems.
'o,
• "k

Dump Tape 332-08


Page I0 of 25

332 17 38 04 ?LU It seems to me there would be


no impact on structure, and
there might - might even be
an argument for locating
something on the order of a
slipping e_nera rack or
something, maybe not _nlite
that sophisticated. But what
we _.eed are snap points or some
snap pattern around or hole
pattern into which you eou/d
insert these things and have
the pattern like it's on our
grid, floor frid, ceiling
grid, have this pattern
located at - copiously,
obviously all around the
spacecraft, so that you could
put these, put a spring clip
in, put a velcro pad on that's
got a metal back on it or
something likethat,so you
could Just throw these all
around and adapt yourself
to the task in hand.

332 17 38 h8 lCLT Now I'm sure the tasks have


varied Skylab -,2, and 3,
and l'm sure each one of the
crews and individuals in the
crew would differ on where to
locate the things and what to
locate. One man might want a
spring clip, another want a
velcro patch. But anyway,
if you had a hole patter, like
it's - or a snap pattern so
that you could locate these
things and have flexibility
of putting them all over
the place, it would certainly
simplify operations. What my
biggest problem, since I've
been up here, is Just managing
mobile things, and when I'm
moving around, Just managing
things. Onceyou get your feet
Dmup Tape 332-08
Page ii of 25

in %he grid, you start this


- start operating, it's just
like operating in one g; no
problems. But because we
don't have these provisions
all over the spacecraft - at
co_mon work locations ; now
minus -Z _nd plus -Z SALS
should have had lots of
clips and lots of these places
where you could stow things
and maneuver things and
temporarily restrain
items for conducting - what
most of our SAL experiments are,
are - it involves are
manipulations and operations
with a multiplicity of items,
including paper work and small
pieces of hardware cables,
et cetera. Finis.
f

332 17 40 13 PLT Okay, ! can't say enough good


things about the sleep compartment
as far. As the sleeping bag
itself is concerned, I can't
see that anything can be
improved on that, other than
maybe giving it flexibility
or maybe change the contours
or something. But I find that
highly effective; I have no
comment other than, Just to
say that I think it's excellent
as far as I'm concerned.

332 17 h0 3h PLT One thing that we've noticed


is that we may be running out
of tissues and, because of the
combination of 5 psi
environment ... and zero
gravity, we have - I have a
continual problem with nasal
congestion and it may be
something that is - before I
forget it, it would be nice
to include in 8/1 future

stowage areas, put in tissues.


I think we're probably okay,
but we're gonna run pretty
tight.

332 17 hi 15 PLT Okay, on the triangle shoes -


I've not been able to use the
mushroom shoes; l'm not reporting
on them. The triangle
shoes really take a beating.
This has been reported by all
crews, and I think it's of
course, that we've u - when
you move around, you tend
to sort of move with your hands
and try to stabilize and stop
your thrashing about with your
feet. The shoes really take
a beating, the backs mud the
toes. The firemanls pole's
excellent. I - I use that all
f thetime.

332 17 42 46 PDT Okay, I think I've already


dovered item number 2 in my
discussion of temporary stowage
provision and small restraints.
As far as body restraint,
triangle shoes are excellent.
I have found myself at times
when there's no frid pattern
at . .. the Collanol servicing
maintenance task, I actually
took tethers, tethered my
ankles to handholds on
the molsieve because as you
maneuver with let your hands,
the rest of your body torques
about and you're got to have
some - some way of restraining
your fee, because this is the
one part of your body that -
over which you don't have as
much control as, of course,
the arms and upper body.
As far as reconm_endation -
_ as faras recommendations
_- Dump Tape 332-08
Page 13 of 25

for improvement, i would


s_y that the triar_gle shoes
are very good, a little bit
difficult to get in. If
it could be made easier, that
would be an improvement. The
only way I can think of improving
it is when you don't have the
permanently installed grid,
that you should have someway
of attaching, say, something
like a fishnet webbing or
something into which you
could put your feet to restrict -
restrain the lower part of
the body while you torque about
with the - with the upper
body and the arms. If you had
something like a fishnet that
you could stretch around, and
I'm talking about one you
can Just poke your feet
_ through and mybe ents_ngle
them in a couple of - of
the lines, so that you Just have
something to hold your
body - lower body while
you're - while you're working,
it would hlep an awful lot.

332 17 44 46 PLT I've already mentioned the wa_v


I tied my legs down to do the
Coolanol servicing.

332 17 h50l PLT Non-equipment - okay, item


number 3: How effective is
non-equipment - assissted
verbal eomnunication. I'd say -
say when you're on the same
level, you have no diffieulty
co_zmlmieating, end this is
because of the noise level in
the way it increases as you go
up and down the X-axis of the
workshop. So when you're
trying to shout to somebody
who is separated from you by
more than l0 or 15 feet along
" ".

Dump Tape 332-05


Page lh of 25

the X-axis, you find it


extremely difficult to
communicate. When you are
eo_nunicating on the same level,
say in the Zplane, you have no
difficulty. Of course, that
restricts you to a limited
distance of probably no more
than 20 feet anyway. Also,
I think probably the sshpe of the
workshop, the fact that it's
round hleps a little bit to
focus sound, and expecially when
you're communicating on the
s_.- level. I would say - i
think I've already given the
distance - I'd say, oh, 15 to 20
feet, when you're separated by
more tahn 15 or 20 or 20 feet along
the X-axis, you actually have to
shout.

332 17 46 12 PDT Okay, item number 4: How


satisfactory are the food
management and dinging
accommodations? I would say
they were satisfactory. I
think that's what I would
give them. I like the water
guns, they're real good. The
dispensing system is good. _ne
of the things the foot
restraints - they have already
been picked to pieces; I don't
want to cover them, I don't ]'ke
them too well - they clock your
triangles but they don't unclock
them, so when you get out of
the foot restraints on the -
on the wardroom table, you got
to reach down and exert quite
a bit of force with your fingers
to muclock the triangles so that
you can use them in the frid.
And this means that - it's a
little bit unpleasant and
you sort of tend not
Dump Tape 332-08
Page 15 of 25

to _se the tris-ugles the pedestal


around the food preparation table.
Foot restraint is essential when
you' re around the wardroom taole,
thoug._, and that's where I usually
step back and Just use the grid
because l'm a little bit lazy,
and I don't like to reclock the
t rianb les.

332 17 47 17 FLT The - how well does the food


adhere to the utensils when eating?
It is quite well, however you still
get the splssh and spatter problem,
and in fact, getting all of the
food out of the plastic hags and -
Once you get it on the utensil,
out of the bag, then it's no problem.
One of the things that I would like
to - that I find it difficult is
fixing - is mixing the condimention
and I find that I spray - I try to
reallysprayit aroundand mix -
cut a big trinagle out of the
plastic container, hold it over
the food, and spray the condiment
in there, whether it's pepper or
tobasco sauce, which are the
main condiments I use.

332 17 48 02 PLT Would a closer tray - to - mouth


proximity have improved eating
ease? For me at least, affirmative,
it would, and I find _self eating
Japanese style quite often, getting
my mouth down very close and this
Just - it Just minimizes the proba-
bility of getting - getting a food
locse, because you're - you got
year mouth open right down next
to the food, and you can sort of
shovel it in.

332 17 L8 29 _LT What unanticipated problems have


occurred in performing various
Dump Tape 332-08
Page 16 of 25

activation,housekeeping,or
exTeriment aciti,_ties to date?
Well, I guess they weren't really
acticipated, hut movement around
and restrainging nivself has
caused me a little bit more of
a problem than I thought. I've
alrealy mentioned the problem of
s_owage and temporary restraing,
stowing of loose items, particularly
when assembling equipment that
has multi - a multiplicity of
pieces. One of the things that
has really caused me more trouble
than anything else is the book -
and accounting on the film. One
of the worst tasks I've ever
performed is in the film transfer.
I don't think it was too well - as
far as the bookkeeping part of
it, it was excellent, I mean there
-were no errors. There were no
errors and it was correct. However,
as far as being well designed for
the human factors and so forth and
having some erative planning going
into it, the film transfer represents
a good example of how not to do it.

332 17 49 35 PLT Arid there was Just no help given


the operator other than the fact
that the numbers of the cassettes
in the hags were written on the
outside, and that was only after
I insisted that it be done. There
was about 90 percent lost time in
the film transfer Just looking and
making sure you had the right
magazine, and l'm not addressing
myself to the point that they
were stowed in all different locations
in the comnand module. That was
unaviodable because of launch problems
and weight, l'm talking about
after I got the stuff together with
" D_np Tape 332-08
Page 17 of 25

no help on the itemsthemselves.


And other than the fact that the
cassette numbers had been printed
on there for me, so I didn't have
to open the compartment of each
bag and look and see what ...
cassette number BR03 or whatever.
And if I had not had that done, it
would have taken me I0 hours to
do that film transfer. I think
that probebly impresses me as
being the lousiest planned operation
I've ever seen.

332 i0 50 53 PLT Okay, another unanticipated problem


in performing various activation,
housekeeping, or experiment activities
to date, was the fact that we were -
we had added on to our Flight Plan
not Just one or two, but at least
two dozen brand new tasks which
we had never done, or had just
been talked through or had done
maybe one. To give an example of
a fairly complex experiment which
we had not trained for, that's
the S183. Originally we were
not planned - it was not planned
for us to do that. I only installed
and assembled the S183 one time
in a mini sim, and operated -
operated it a safety operation
one time in a mini sim.

332 17 51 39 PLT And that's not enough for a


complex piece of equipment that has
pieces stowed here - hither and
yon and is a fairly complex piece
of equipment. You have to get
film out of the film drawer and
the cassette itself requires tender
loving care. Power cables came
out of a dome locker, the equip -
the assembly itself comes out of
a fairly com - not comples tc
/-- Dump Tape 332-08
Page 18 of 25

operate, but it - it - if you're


unfa_-iliar with it, it's confusing
a stowage. You have to use a
piece of S019, another experiment
for part of it, and you have to
hook it up to thirty things; you
got to get a DAC camera out in
adaition to the flight magazine
and carrousel, and all in all,
I Just use it as a typical example
of, for what I con -what I consider
to be, although not an extremely
difficult, one which is a complex
task of management of small pieces
of equipment and hardware• Now
when you've got to do that - I got
to do it one time and yet when we
got ready to do that experiment,
we were scheduled a time line Just
as though we were completely per
station and had done it hundreds of
times. I'm not - I think we've
said enough, I think the flight
planners had a lot of stuff
Jammed down their throats, the
FAD people. I don't want to be
critical of them, but I do want
to point out the problem. The
question was asked and I'm answering
it. And I was extremely irritated
with the time that we were g_ven
to perform these tasks the
first time• And I can see what
happened on the ground; I know
that there are a lot of people
involved. When you do that there
are a lot of people involved.
When you do that, there's no
single individual who's at fault;
it's Just sort of you get caught
in the system and so I want to
make it very clear it's nothing
personal, hut the question has been
asked and I did want to emphazize
my - my feelings about it.
D_p Tape 332-08
Page 19 of 25

332 17 53 2_ PLT Now tilerewere a lot of hous-


keeping tasks that I had never
done before, and again the first
time zhrough required more time
than was allotted. Some of the
medical stuff that we got, the
stereo photos we had never -
that's right, the stereo photos we
had never done, some of the iR
photos, we had never done and
yet we were given, you know,
like, just added on a couple of
minutes here and there to do this
sort of thing; it's extremely
difficult. What - I would like
to give an example of what happens
when you add on a task like the
IR photos, and this is a case where
we were given the task of taking
IR photos of each other, and the
instructions, although it sounded
ratherglib,were prettydifficult
to follow. Man lay down on the
grid floor in front of the film
locker, another man is supposed to
float up around the fireman's
pole, and of course that's ridiculous;
you don't float when you're taking
photographs. So what I - what I
ended up doing was goind up by
putting one triangle in by waLer
tank 3 and sticking one leg bask
in between the water tanks. And
what I did, I had activated water
tand 3 and pressurized it, and I
had - then I kicked the valve off.
New i didn't know this until last
night; we has some trouble with -
started having trouble with the
water tank. I still have not re-
ported this to ground. But I would
Just like to give this as a good
example of what happens when you
throw stuff on the last minute with-
out having proper training on it.
t
Dumpt Tape 332-08
Page 20 of 25

332 17 54 53 PLT And what I did - I actually _')uld have


damaged the pressurization v_ive to
water tank 3. There I was, f:_t d'_b
s_nd happy, one foot restraint 9rid the
other foot sticking back between a
water tanks, and I kicked the valve
off - PRESSUEIZATION valve OFF which
started the water pressure, and I
didn't - I wasn't smart enough to figure
_his out till last night after we'd
a_ - after Hosuton had already solved
the problem. The question you asked
here in the book, is what unanticipated
problems have oecured in performing vaious
activation ... you know experiment
activity to date, ... and that's the
answer. That is - that is a kind of thing
that happens when you start throwing things
on at the last minute. And we're very -
we're quite happy to do this, but we've
got to have the time, the first time
period to get familiar with it, and a/so
you can expect glitches like me kicking
of that PRESSURIZATION valve on water
tank 3. Now I consider that to be my
fault ; I should have know better than
that, because exactly what happens -
This is - a very good question you've
asked, and I was Just giving that as
a good example of how not to fly a
spacecraft and how not to schedu!e
operations. Somebody thinks something
up in an office, it sounds good, and then
all of a sudden you find yourse3f trying
t__ do it the first time, never having
2_ne it before, it's - it's gonna take
probably 4 or 5 times as much time to
do the task. _q_an the man who is

and you end up taking an hour to do it.

332 17 56 32 _m'r Okay, a_idthe rest of number _ is what -


Are there any conmnon difficulties that
car. be traced to inadequacies of design,
onboard provisions or preflight prepara-
tion - I Just got through telling what
can happen when you don't have good
preflight preparation• The - Using the
example the MDA layout, the poor layout,
_id locatability of lockers, and the
lack of foot restraints, has been a major
shortcoming operating in the _DA,
_d the the drawers of the doors operation,
eLc. For ... spacecraft.

332 17 57 16 SC Okay, question 6. What signifi_ant


improvisations cedural equipment arrange-
ments or modifications etc. Have
you accomplished as a result of adapting
no living and in working in zero-g? I
get these straps around the ankles to
hold my feet down. I made cordboard
partitions for the es_nera drawer number G
in filmvault,and I hope to get around
of making holders of tops for the drawers
_r at least some of kind previsions
for keeping the equipment from flying
about when moving the film drawer to
keep it from drifting out of the
stowage location. The ... camera
magazines also float out of their
restraints in the film vault. It is
just that whole film vault impresses me
as being a pretty ineffective design•
It - Some of them are the t_pe you can't
get _hem out, and the others are loose,
and you put them in their design restraints
like _he EC magazines; they just filoat

a_ ai[ on the airflow. One of the things
that's causing ... more unpleasent than
any thing else is the flatus - the farts
that we had - generate here in this low
psi. This 5 psi atmosphere's extremely
urlpleasant. I think it's because of
a lot of gas that we ingest while we're
eating our food• The the airflow is
really essential for getting that stuff
stirred up and taken out of
the air. Temperatures got - started
getting a little - actually a little
cool last night. We've actually turned
the thermostat up. Noise, you always
have noise. I - I'm used to noise.
So it'd be nice if there weren't any.
It's sort of - I guess you - It's good
to have a little background noise.
Lighting is adequate. Were - there were
two noises that we noticed in the space-
craf-_ which we've gotten used to now,
but sort of interesting on of it them's
a TACS fine, fbut sounds like somebody
thumping on a 50-gallon or maybe 150-gallon
drum. There's a fairly sharp report.
And then some kind of thermal oil canning
that occurs at daylight and darkness
Just at Sunrise. It gives you a nice
little sound. Other than that, I'd say
that in those categories, everything is
entirely acceptable.

began to have second thoughts about the

over the pointing to make sure I was
right, and then activated again. So I
probably messed up your first - wasted

gonna ... a little TV on film threading.
_n_at we're doing here, is trying to put
film into a camera which we brought up
for the solar telescope. The objective

doing it on the gro_Ig, you could try to
save a little weight on the material which

we were pretty weight critical at launch.
We uried to bring up as much useful
material as we could. So we had to cut
,down whereever we - wherever was possible.
Wha_ we did, was essentially, bring up
few film cassettes. This whi_e one, and
t_e black one.

332 19 07 27 One containing the film which we are about


to install in the camera, and the second
one, the take-up reel for the cs.mera.
Now the other alternative, was to bring
up this total film packaging like so, which
is quite large and quite heavy. Rather than
do that, we convinced the folks that we're
backing American science and engineering.
TT._atwe were capable of bringing the film
up, and threading it through the camera -
checking it out, and making it ali work.
P _c! that's the task l'm in r_t now.

is pre¢ty much what you find at home. A

fund a few other small devices, pens, pencils,
and a wrench. Now what l've done so far,
is to install both the take-up cassette,
and the supply cassette. This is where
the film is, and this is where it's gonna
go. As you can see, this is not quite an
Instamatic, so, there's a little bit more
tha_u snapping it in. And it's a kind of
interesting and challenging Job. This
cmmera here, was left up from one of the
previous missions, and the picture of this
one is from the second one, $L - Skylab 3.
And Owen Garriott took the film out of this
one and run it back, and they developed,

i t!ink we've learned a lot about ....
_a _ _'m in the process of doing right now,

one, I think for a man in space. There's
nothing that l've done here that I haven't
done on the ground. And I think I can -

it _i funcitons properly. Then, we'll be

just called us and said they were

our tape recorder. I went over and
checked them, and sure enough, for
the M092 we had had the TAPE RECORDER
EXPERIMENT i and EXPERIMENT 2 in Echo
and Hotel respectively. Now here's
the problem. On the back of
the cue card at the end of 171 run
it says to turn OFF the EXPERIMENT
RECORDER 1 and 2 and then set them
at - at Echo and Hotel. I think
that's a mistake. It's a trap. What
we've done is - we've deleted it from
our cue card. Because this morning
we did an M092, a 171. I knew it had
been done and so I Just assumed that
the two recorders were still on B and B
and I didn't even look at them. So
that's a - a faux pas on my part, but
on the other - on the other hand, this
is a trap. So we're gonna delete this,
and for the most part, keep our
experiment recorders on Echo and Hotel,
unless there needed for another experiment.

t_ke a little more time, and I'll probably
have to get more proficient cn and
learn how to work a little bit better and
a little faster, is using the 55 grating
and - excuse me - 55 intensity data as
a way of locating hot spots within
act ire regions, or locating other features
on the Sun. It takes a long while to
hunt around and to locate what you're
after when so you only have a
display - a dimerical display and
you have no tow dimensional
feel for what you're looking at in
comparison to dimerical readouts.
It takes a little while to develop
that feel. And in exploring active
region 87 today, I found it took an
awful lot of time even to find what I
thought was an adequate hot spot to
explore. I feel I'll get better in

SC Subject is M487-2A. And I'll be giving


my eo_nents now, the CDR will he coming
in a little later tonight. First question:
What particular aspect, of the O/A
seem well designed and arranged for living
and working in zero g? I'd say probably
the best part is the MDA. That's because
we've made - well - good use of the wall.
I think the lower compartments that is
the experiment compartment, and the
other quarters in the lower floor of the
OWS are okay, however, the upper compartment
could certainly be much better in that -
the walls are not utilized for anything,
strictly a one g design. The bottom
experiment compartment is also a one g
design, but because of the height, you
probably gain more by working on the floor
than you do on the walls. I thinkthe
whole OWS has been a one g design. It's
been that because of well - for many reasons,
mostly engineering. In terms of optimum
work, I think something like the MDA is
best for working at a given location in
modules and so forth. If you need the free,
open space for experiments, then the
upper part of the OWS is fine.

332 23 h_ 30 SPT What restraint devices off the most


assistance performing tasks, and which
the least? I think the best that we
have are good, old triangle shoes. They
seem to work real well. The ones that
worked the least probably are the
restraints that we have or the lack of
restraints that we have in the head and
also the foot restraints in the wardroom.
The foot restraints there always tend
to unlock your triangle so that you end
Dump Tape 332-11
Page 2 of 9

up with the inner part locked and the


foot coming out, which means it only
takes a good 15-20 seconds of pushing
and pulling in order to get your triangle
shoe back in shape for the net result,
you never end up using your triangle shoes.
I'm the head, we Just don't have any.
There are some little ones, on the floor which
are all right if you're in your hare feet,
hut they don't help at all if you're
in triangle shoes. I w_uld suggest that
ve make a _11s, eeillm_ and as much as
possible ou% of something which you could
hook your shoes on to whether it wouJd
turn out to be triangles in the future or
squares or balls or whatever it needs.
I think that much of the environment
should be made of that particular
material.

332 23 45 59 SPT How effective is non-equipment assisted


verbal communication throughout the 0/A?
Its okay _f you are in the same compartment
that is, if you're, say, in the lower
storage well of the OWS or the upper
compartment or in the MDA or in the command
module, but if you're trying to go from
any one of those four compartments, it
is awfully hard; you can't do it because
there is usually too much noise or absorption
of sound. If you happen to be in the
experiment compartment then you can
call up to someone above you, but it does
take a fair smount of volume.

332 23 46 36 SPT How satisfactory have the intercom boxes


been for IVA communication? I f_nd that
when they are not squealing you're okay,
however, the problem with the squees
Just makes these things almost obnoxious
at times. I think that it's ashame and
I think that they could have been designed
better. I don't think there's any reason
for - with the technology that we have
at our disposal - that we end up with comm
_ Dump Tape 332-11
Page 3 of 9

boxes that have squeels .... We


have come up with an alleged fix ...,
however, when we put the fix in, we
find that they still squees, maybe
not quite as bad as the other guys,
have had it, but they're still squealing
everytime you press those buttons
they squeal and then you're run around
for a good I0 - 15 seconds trying to
find out which box it is, and then
c_]m it down. Air-to-ground also works
the same way. I find it's not such an
inconvenience, but a real time waster.
I think whoever designed that thing just
incorporated an awful lot of wasted
crew time and he created a lot of non-
productivity into the whole mission.
Locations are not too had.

332 23 47 h9 SPT How satisfactory are the food manage-


ment and dining accomodations?
They're not too bad. I could find -
I could think they could be a little more
... in the wardroom. They're -
functionally, they seem to work reason-
ably well. I don't have any real
major complaints right now. How well
does the food adhere to utensils
when eating? I don't find that is any
problem as long as you're constitute it
well enough. There are a few things
such as sau - sage which gets a little
out of hand and tends to bresk-up
and move away. Would a closer tray-to-mouth
proxindty have improved eating east?

332 23 48 38 $PT What _anticipated problems have


occurred in performing various acti-
vations in houstkeeping, or experiment
activities to date? I think the
,/_" Dump Tape 332-11
Page 4 of 9

unanticipated problems ... were that we


did not anticipate we'd be running so
darn many medical experiments which we
had never seen before. There are some
good ideas behind these medical experi-
ments and the objectives are worthwhile.
However, I think the people who are
behind them, were eompletely wrong in
not exposing these some training on them.
It took us as a rough generalization,
a factor of two longer than what was
planned in the flight plan to carry out
every one of these. By that I mean the -
the stero photos, IR photos, the volume
measurements, the blood pressure -
rate blood pressure measurement, and
one or two others which don't come to
mind right now. They were scheduled an
awful lot in those first few days, and
it took up a major portion of out time
Just trying to get those darn things
done, and we found that we were usually
running for behind the timeline and
unable to get most of the housekeeping
and transfers and other things set up
in order to get this place sequared
away. The net result is that our first
seven or eight days up here were not
something I'd want to go through again.
We were hustling around behind the
timeline tired and irrated for those -
for those - for that whole first week,
and I think it all boils down to the
fact that we throw a lot of experiments
on board at the last minute dumped them
all in at the very beginning of the
mission, at a very critical time period,
and expected it mll work and, of course,
it didn't.

332 23 50 40 SPT Are there any common difficulties that


can be traced to inadequacies of design,
on board provisions or preflight
preparations? Well, I gave the answer
to one of them preflight preparation.
__ On board provisions? So far, nothing I
Dump Tape 332-11
Page 5 of 9

can even think of in a small way. I'm


sure a few things can come to mind
from time to time but nothing sticks
in my mind right now. And inadequacies
in the design? ... common difficulties,
just a lot of small points - other than
the fact that I think we can use some
more footholes in various locations
which I've _Iready mentioned.

332 23 51 35 SPT What significant improvisations


procedural, equipemnt arrangements are
modifications, etc. have you accomplished
as a result of adapting to living and
working in zero g? Well, for one thing
I found that it's - it was initially
hard to get used to the idea that you
can drop something and it would stay
right where it was. However, I find now
_ that it is my normalway of working. I
can have two or three things up in the
air whether I'm eating or working with
tools. And leave them there for i0, 20,
or 30 seconds - and go about my business
with my hands in another location,
come back and work with whatever I have
there. I found that I've used an awful
lot of green tape. Just for securing
things, permanentaly or temporarily.
I find the springs that we have which
we use to hold checklists down are
very useful. I've also explored a
little bit using the vent on the large
screens up at the dome in the OWS as a
work table, and I think that works pretty
well, the gerodynamic work table was
not a bad concept. I'm sorry the
electrical one had to go along with it
and can the whole thing. I may be
working on that one a little bit more
and trying to give you something later
on on it. I think also Just plain
old sticky back - I'd many times
Dump Tape 332-11
Page 6 of 9

take tape and put it down so that the


sticky side is up and use that as a way
of holding nuts and bolts and any small
pieces.

332 23 53 00 SPT How satisfactoryly have the various


environmental elements of habitation
been in providing a suitable hobitat
(lighting, noise, temperature, hnm_ dity,
air flow)? Air flow is great. Humidity -
relative humidity - has been very low
here at the high Beta angle and I -
that we've dried-out quite a bit. I've
got dry skin, cracked lips and
so farth, so I hope that ... gets to a
lower Beta angle ... Temperature a little
warm the first few days, again at the
high Beta angle. Noise? I think there's
-- Just a littletoo much noise to get
sound sleep. It's a consistent noise;
it doesn't change, but I'm a relatively
light sleeper and sleep more than I'd
like to have it. Lighting? No problem.
I think we have all the lights we need.
SPT out.

332 00 01 31 SPT SPT at 00:01. Subject is cue card


changs and in particular should be
addressed to Bruce McCandless and -
perhaps the flight director on his shift.
Tonight when I requested or notified
that I would change the cue card to
eliminate nuZ update some of you just
caused a fair amount of problems down
on the ground I could tell by the
reaction of the CAPP COMM. My understanding
is that we ought to follow these cue
cards precisely by the letter. If we
are to do that, then they ought to be
correct. Now for them to be correct
either someone keeps control of them on
the ground or we make some of the changes
up here and tell you what we're doing
and you agree or don't agree to them.
f I don'tthinkthe latteris the way to

go. If you folks want to control the


content of those cue cards, then
we're all for it and we'll accept the
changes that you sent up, however, I
would like to make sure that you
understand that we plan to follow those
things precisely and as written and
_f changes don' come up, we'll
assume that the cue card is eorrec as
written. We cannot have these
unwritten assumptions going into the
various items in the cue cards. It's
just no way to run a flight and it
won't work. I'd appreciate any comment
you have ... Maybe I misundrstand
what happened. SPT out.

CDR Yeah I did.

SPT Thank you.

SPT Welcome to Skylab III. You've stepped


in on us here as we're preparing our
dinner. The PLT Just stepped out after
preparing his dinner, and the CD_ has
moved in to eat it. We're going to
watch the CDR tonight, the commander,
as he tries to eat some of the food
while straining it through his newly -
grown, but good-locking beard. We
spent the first ten days of our flight
getting our house squared away and
learning how to live. I think we've got
ten things pretty well in hand by now.
The three major parts of the Skylab
objective, first of all the Earth
resources, I think are looking good.
We have - on the first EVA - fixed one
of the antennds which we use for Earth
resources and it ought to give us quite
Dump Tape 332-11
Page 8 of 9

a bit more significant information


than we would have had otherwise.
We hope to be making some earth resources
passes pretty soon.

333 O0 35 32 SPT The second part of the mission, the


medical, has been coming along at a
pretty fast clip. The first week
or so we spent doing a - the major
part of our time - doing medical
experiments. A lot of emphasis
has been placed on that because
that's where the - a large number
of the significant changes start
to occur, and when the changes
have not been observed before. The
third part, solar observations,
we've started off the past two to
three days; we've gotten it rolling
off at a pretty fast clip. We've
completed all of the film loading
outside during the EVA, for all of
the new equipment and we have also
Just loaded more film into a camera
this afternoon, which was I think a
pretty useful and challenging Job for
a man to do up in zero g. It used
to be that something like that was
never even thought of. It's a relatively
task since it really wasn't an insta-
matic type loading. But since we're
tight on launch weight and volume, we
had to just bring the film and not an
extra camera. So, all and all, we're
pretty happy with the way things have
come here and we feel that the next
70 days or so in space will be quite,
both enjoyable for us and rewarding
and we mean rewarding for the total
Skylab program and the country. Thanks
for being with us.

333 02 i0 49 _F'r SPT at 02:10, ATM operations. _le first


part of ... count to 6 pick-ui_ i,
building block i. The second part, 12C,
I just completed the choice of coordinates.
For a quiet range they were very good.
That whole area, anyYa_, there - plus
or minus 4 or 5 arc minutes almost any
direction - was all fsirly quiet except
maybe toward the center of the Sun. I chose
to go straight with the coordinates that were
given.

333 02 ii 30 SPT I worked at IN UP/DOWN at 0549, and I went

LEFT/RIGHT between plus 0Z20 and OZ80. I


think I cut them pretty accurately in both
bounds. I used the model which crossed the
mechanical CROSS HAIR in H-ALFHA 2, and then
moved that - put that model - carried the
model one I was POINTING at C-20, which was
_-_ ... here and that moved that model out
60 arc seconds and put the electronic CROSS
HAIRS on that same model. So it was a rela-
tively easy Job - Job to Just move that
model back and forth between the two CR_S
HAILS. If anything, I'm sure you got some
very uniform coverage of that one arc minute
square region of the first exposure I went
back and forth once and I think quite uni-
formly so you're i0 second exposure was good.
The other ones, I don't think, were any
problem either.

333 02 12 hi I_}'T If aro_hing now - if anything tended to be


nonuniformed in coverage, it was at the very
end, where I had to turn it around and
start coming back again. So, you might,
if anything put a little more weight on the
regions at the very end, that's 320 and 380,
so that they can be turned around and, I think,
move uniformly. It's going to be quite a ...
reflection as they went from one to the other.
But I think it worked out real well.

block i0, 82-B SLIT is along a relatively
bright linear feature in active region 87,
a bright plage. The - if you interpret it
at H-ALPHA - it's of fairly uniform bright-
ness, however, in terms of the XUV it
frankly is not. I found that in searching
around with the 55 instrument, that the

don't correspond at all to the bright parts
seen in or located with the 55. In many
cases, its three or four arc seconds -

333 02 24 55 SFT Maybe i0 arc seconds difference.

333 02 25 45 SRT The i0 and 40 second exposures were done


by using the auxi]iary timer and Just
watching the operate READY light. And when
I got to the end of the second exposure,
in the NORMAL mode, I hit the STOP switch
on the auxiliary timer and that seems to
work out real well. It's a ... way to do
it.

was at a RIGHT of 25, that is it stayed in
POSITION 25 from the - Stand by Houston's
calling.

333 02 50 13 SPT SPT at 02:50. I think we've seen


the last ATM pass. I'm not sure how
far I - I got before I got ...
Houston. Some of the specs I've not
been getting again. I noticed at the
end of this pass that 55 mirror
position was in a right of 25, that's
25. I suspect it has the remained
there from the pass exactly two cycles
ago. The pass which started at 22:30,
where we did work on the limb with
JOP 5, step 4. Since that time in
the work I have done I don't think
that has trapped us in any way.
We did a building block 1 where
we had a grating auto scan followed
by a mirror auto raster. But
still we were pretty close to the -
the center there. And we did not
try to correlate with any of the -
any other experiment. And I did
not there do any pointing associated
with, or using the readouts of the
intensity data. So I don't think
there was ever any problem there.
The other building blocks in this
orbit ere there also unaffected
by that. But it is something we ought
to - that we ought to note. And
I'll try to ma_e sure whenever we
use that right position, left/right
position of the mirror, that we
get it back to 32 where it belongs.

exposures for S056 on Skylab 3,


how have they come out, now that
you've had a little bit more time to
develop them? What is the optimum
length for each filter? You've
given me some minimum lengths. There
are occasions where we oould go
significantly longer than that and
we'd like to know what is - what do
you consider optimum for the various
things that your looking for? The
second one which I think I voiced
earlier today is when does the the
shutter actually close on the long
exposure? When you turn the power
out or when you see the frames
decrement? For the S082, with the
SUV monitor I'm getting some very
short time integrations, as short
as I can practically get off the
switch. And I want to know whether
those are useful to you at all.
I know Nell Feiliot [?] once talked
to me about getting the shortest
possible ones. And I'm wondering if
they have turned out to be useful,
and if so I'll certainly continue
giving them. I have to admit it
didn't show up the hotspots and
to me ain't that much better than
the - either the ones which are
1/2 and 1 second. I believe these
are shorter than that•

333 02 54 40 SPT I think the way you scheduled things,


that they have gone fairly well.
This last orbit I had Just concluded
the experiment ops Just in time.
Actually I was below 400K while I was
finishing up that last mirror auto
raster. So perhaps I really should
have out it off at 321. I think
you can correlate that lrith the time.
So that last one was packed pretty
full. I - oh, ye_h, I would not want
Dump Tape 333-02
Page 3 of 17

to see it packed any fuller than


that. I did not have any real
observing time on that orbit. I
Just started right on the beginning
and tread my way through it. There
was a lot of interesting things to
do but I still ended up Just finishing
up a little bit under hOOK. But I
think - I appreciate the free time
which I have been given. I plan
to use that for many things one of
which is to try to explore the use
of S055 intensity data readouts
for various features. I think that's
a real powerful tool for finding ...
specific objects such as coronal
holes, solar channels, bright spots,
and bright plage, and get spectra
from those locations.

333 02 56 01 SPT And I'd like to learn an awful lot


about how to do that and that's gonna
Just take a little time, probably
on the working with it .... hope it
gets good data.

First $233, photographing comet.
I saw - - I could not see the comet
with naked eye. I did see it -
through the binoculars. The coma
looked a little bit larger and more
well defined tonight than it did
last night. In reference to $232,
Jerry's already answered a couple of
questions and all I can add is that
I think I could have seen that barium
cloud injection against any dark
baskground, whether it be earth -
tun- unilluminated earth or space
background, stars. And possibly after
it hit the disk cone and sort of
bleeped out the wardroom window -
Dum_ Tape 333-02

I probably - if it hadn't been for that,


I probably could have seen it for
a another minute and 1/2, maybe
2-1/2 minutes at the most. And
I did see the barit_m cloud there as
soon as it was injected.

SPT You're on channel B, Bill.

PLT Okay, PLT, with remarks on $23B


operations and the remarks sections
of the day 332 pad says take all
three exposures at the same position.
" This is viertuallyimpossible
because you have to destroy your
camera stables each time you change
the focal distance and it's very
difficult to get it hack in the same
position although we tried to do
that. As far as locating the comet,
the instructions read to start
the ... on teleprinter ... and I've
already commented on the ... the coma
of the comet between last night and
tonight.

33 03 07 05 CDR This is the CDR at 03:08 Zulu. With


an Mh87-2 Alfa debriefing. Question
number I: What particular aspects
of the run were designed and arranged
for living and working in zero-g?

BB3 03 08 12 CDR I would say that the - the forward


compartment and the experiment
compartment, the wardroom, the
sleep compartemnts are all well
designed and well arranged for working
in zero-g. I think that probably the
Dump Tape 333-02
Page 5 of 17

most important aspect - the design


aspect - that makes it so well
designed is the fact that we have
the grid and that we wear the triangle
shoes and that there are multiple
places to anchor yourself in order
to do the work that you need to do.
I've given a little thought to the
dome area and whether or not we
need some more handholds. I'm not
really convinced that we need anymore
handholds than we have because we
don't do much up in the upper dome
area. There's a lot of blue handles
up there that we don't even use.
Around the ... lockers I think it
was a very good design to put the
ring of triangles - the blue ring -
with triagle holds in it. There is
no ring lockersthat you couldget
to - without - that does not have
some sort of a foot restraint
available on the blue shelf. And
I thin'_ that's a very good design.
The ring lockers are very hand,
they're nice and large. I think
samsonite luggage ... are really
very good. The experiment compartment
is well layed out. It's a bit
crowed but it's an experiment compart-
ment and I think functionally it
fits pretty well.

333 03 09 59 CDR For the wardroom - the only bone I


m_ght have to pick with the wardroom
would be the foot restraints in the
wardroom. The triangle foot restraints -
restraints - at the floor of the table
I'm sure you've already been told are
not exactly the same as the rest of
the grid. And when you lock yourself
in with your triangle shoes that's
all fine, but when you get ready to
unlock yourself it releases you before
_ Dump Tape 333-02
Page 6 of 17

you get your triangle fully Imlocked.


And then you find y6urself skipping
along _ne one foot ricocheting off the
walls of the overhead, trying to reach
down and get your triangle popped back
into the neutral position so that you
can stick it into the grating scme-
where else. So that's a very definite
design deficiency with the wardroom.
Around the table I think probably
the best thing to have been - to have
done there would have been to just
leave the whole floor area out, and
just make it all the mesh - the grid
work under the table and maybe only
have one or two triangles filled in
on each side for the loop for a
barrel or booted foot, so there's
somebody who wants to eat barefooted
or with a booted foot. I think
you've probably got 20 times too
much brown area down on the floor -
completely unnecessary and it would
have been I think a lot better off
with Just more open grid.

333 03 ii 32 CDR The sleep compartment - I think for


the room that is available for those
I think the sleep compartments are
well layed out as you lay in your
bunks. Everything is within rea_ -
the radio, the lights, your locker
and I think that - now I Just can't
think of anything else to say there.
I think maybe a little more work
could have been done in the locker
to personalize them a little bit
more. The lockers are really just the
plain old sterile locker that are
available in all the rest of the
area - your open areas - or with
straps in them for retaining bundles.
I think one locker probably should
have been - maybe the second or the
third from the top - probably the
Dump Tape 333-02
Page 7 of 17

second from the top - should have


been designed to open out only horizontal
and provide a writing surface_ sort
of a little desk, much like you find
in the stateroom aboard a naVy vessel
in the officer's stateroom. I think -
you know a Ben Franklin desk sort of
thing where you can pull down the door
and it would stay horizontal, you
could lay in your bed and write and
in the locker itself it would have
been - I think it would have been
good to have a bunch of little
pigeon holes and verious little ways
of ... pieces of personal equipment
and things like that. Last but not
least on the lower deck is the waste
management compartment. I think the
equipment in there is very good. The
pot and the urine collection devices
/-- I think are surprisingly easy to use
and they're very effective.

333 03 13 31 CDR I don't know how much better you can


get on those. Of course, I must
adadt that when I - before I got here -
I had very grave reservations for the
ability of these systems to work well
and I must say I was very pleasently
surprised ... the first time in using
both systems I found that that they
worked as well as advertised. The
big problem I would say in the waste
management compartment is lack of
proper foot restraints. We kind of
boxed ourselves in, literally speaking,
when we put the sheath over the floor
and thereby dealing ourselves out of
the grid work available for locking
your seat down. And unfortunately
we didn't do much to remedy the situation
once it was done. The designed
foot restraints that are in front of
the urinal and the pot interfered
with the drawers and so we had a lot
Dump Tape 333-02
Page 8 of 17

of design modifications and a lot


of fiddling around. And the final
upshot of that is that we've ended up
with nothing. And changing out a
urine drawer in the morning is pure
hell because you've got no w_, tc
lock yourself down to do the wcrk
that you need to do. And you're
forever trying to J_m yourself uo
against the wall or to lock your
feet here or there and get yourself
into position so that you can do
the urine sampling and the urine
bag change op. The same goes
for when you're finished using the
comaande - the fecal collector -
you find yourself in a tough
situation with a tough cleanup ,job
left to do and no way to lock
yourself down so that you can
/-- stabilize yourself and do the cleanup
you need to do.

333 03 15 19 CDR You've also got to weight the CC's


put in a new bag, mark the CC's label,
get it into the oven and so during
the whole period of time you're Just
ricocheting around in there with
really not much of anything to lock
into - nothing but a couple of handholds.
That's the most serious problem in
there. The - the mirrors, I think -
we could have done a better Job
on the mirrors. I think there
are better metal mirrors available
than what we've got. THose are Just
too dull, too difficult to see
yourself in. I think the water
dispenser and the - the squeeze bag
are very good pieces of equipment.
Right off hand I can't think of a
better way to go about doing that.
I think for those of us who shave
with a razor - a blade razor - you
need some way to clean it out. And
Dump Tape 333-02
Page 9 of 17

I think that would be something that


can very definitely be designed
for future spacecraft. Some sort of
a little see-through compartment
with a jet -water Jet nozzel inside
of it that you can stick your
razor in and seal it and then turn on
the little sprayer and rotate your
razor or squirt it and knock all the
lather and all the hair out of the
razor so that it can be used again
without wiping the blade. I think
that - that all of the - the items
that are in the hygiene kit I think
we'll probably get a chance to hit
later, so I'll drop that for now and
hope that I'll get a chance to brief -
debrief on that at some later time.

333 03 17 04 CDR Getting back to restraint devices


.... and handholdsand the like are pretty
hard to give them a good bill of
health to the workshop section. Moving
on up into the airlock module of the
STS and the _4DA. We begin to find
that the handles become few and far
between, or leg correction - foot
restraints become very few and far
between. There really isn't much
requirement in the airlock module
for foot restraints during the non-EVA
situation. But it would give a
thrashing around there in an EVA
situation. It certainly would be
helpful if you could lock yourself
into some sort of a position. I
suspect that some sort of a bracket
that would have held the universal
foot restraints might have been a
very valuable thing in there. So that
the - each man could lock them into
the airlock module much the same as
we lock VS and VC3 and then the crew-
men can go in there and lock his
feet in and be stable and be much
more efficient in the way he works
in the airlock module. In the MDA I
Dump Tape 333-02
Page I0 of 17

think the EREP foot restraints


and the ATM foot restraints are very
good. Unfortunately I think we need
a few more. I think we could use a
few more handholds in there too. It
would seem to me that the handholds
could _e placed kind of randomly in
there, but no handholds more th_
L feet from another handhold.

333 03 18 _0 CDR And a handhold could he designed

verbal communication throughout the
0/A? the intercom baoces have been
quite satisfactory with the exception
of the sequeal problem. You've probably
heard sometime during the activation
phase that we were having fits with the
squeal problem. Once we put in the
antisqueal device in the command
module, the - the squeal problem
on the air-to-ground loop is pretty
much solved. The squeal problem
does however still exist on occasions
for using the intercome boxes for
intercom; that is, for IVA communications.
I think the intercom boxes are generally
pretty _ii located. I can't think of
any other places that we could locate
the them other than where they are, right
off hand. If I think of anything specific,
- I'll put that on the chart - on the tape,
channel 18. Nonequipment-assisted verbal
co_mmunieations throughout the workshop is
possible. It's - In the workshope area,
its quite easy to communicate with anyboby
in the experiment compartment wardroom,
the waste management compartment, or the
sleep compartments without any great problems
at all. The waste management compartment,
of course, does become a little bit
difficult once you close the door and
turn on the fan.

333 03 20 45 CDR The food management and dining accommodations,


I think, are pretty well laid cut. We have
a rather unique problem in that we are staying
much longer than was originally planned.
So the food is not packed for us in the manner
that makes it easy for us to get to it in the
proper days. We finally had to spend quite a
few man-hours, I think about 5 to 6 man-hours,
in rearranging all the overage food in a pantry
fashion so that it could be easily obtained when
we need to come up and fill up a food bag for
a high-density day. I would suggest in the
future for food bags that we consider going
.... pantry style. I think the pantry style is
f

Dump Tape 333-02


Page 12 of 17

a - is a way to go. Design some _ittle


hand food bags that you can carry with you
and go up and Just pick your menu out of a
pantry, out of cans that are marked and each
can holding only one kind of food, with that
marked on the front. Possibly you could put
some X's or some O's or something on the front
of the can - on the top of the can so that
when you remove an item, you merely draw an
X or write a - put a line in one of the circles
indicating that one's missing. And that way,
the number of open X's or open circles or
squares would indicate how many are inside.
I would suspect that it would be a good idea
to have the food located in such a manner so
that it's much like a razor blade dispenser.
"_nen you pull one - one can of food out, the
next one moves into its place behind it. And
that you don't have two layers deep, that
there'd Just be one layer all the way to
_he back.

333 03 22 49 CDR That means food cans about 4 feet long instead
of 2 feet long, about 36 inches long rather
than 18 inches long. The food adheres to the
utensils quite well when you - surprisingly
so. I think the fo - most of the food is
sticky enough so that it's no problem at all
to eat. I don't think it would be good to
have a closer tray-to-mouth proximity because
the food tables are used for - as a working
table, as a desk, and I think you need to
have it where it is.

33 03 23 29 CDR What unanticipated problems have occurred in


performing various activations, housekeeping,
or experiment activities to date? Well, I
guess the most - the most prevalent unantici-
pated problem that we have experienced during
activation and housekeeping was : number l,
as much as time as we spent in the workshop
trainer at Houston doing minisims and finding
our way around, we still came up here and we
were like one-arm paperhangers and bulls in
a china shop trying to find our way around.

333 03 3h 31 CDR Yeah. This is the CDR back on the recorder


again with MO - M487-2 proceeding on - Let's
see, we were talding about _manticipated
problems, and I was making a point that in
spite of all the training we've had, we were
still surprised when we got here. There
were quite a few reasons. Most of them were
not equipment problems. There were some
stowage problems. Things were not stowed
where they were supposed to be stowed. We
got ourselves into a mode of having to ask
the ground where everything was. In some
cases, the ground pointed ou places - proper
places where they wer stowed and in other cases
we Just had to look for the things til we
found them. One of the most serious problems
in activation was learning how to restrain
ourselves, how to hold ourselves down in order
to do a task. That's something that you could
only learn apparently by experience. You
_-" could think about it and anticipate it all
you w_nt, but when you get up here in zero g,
it's a whole new world and you Just got to
learn to get use to it; and it takes time.
So everything we did took two to three times
as much time as we thought it would take. We
fooled ourselves. We told the people on the
ground before we left that we were going to
take it slow and easy on activation, that we
weren't going to pay any time - any attention
to the time line, that we were going - not
going to allow ourselves to be rushed. We
got up here and we let ourselves just get
driven right into the ground. We - we hollered
a lot about we were being rushed too much,
but we did not, ourselves, slow down and say
to hell to with everything else and do things
Just one after the other like we said we were
going to do.

333 03 36 28 CDR I guess that's a psycological fact that I


Just didn't face up to on the ground when
I felt that we could do it. Because we -
we worked hard, we tried real hard to get
things done, we made a lot of mistakes, and
it was because we were rushing around and we
were having difficulty getting ourselves
properl} _ anchored down to do the Jobs we were
doing. We - Also I think another thing that
_ Dump Tape 333-02
Page 14 of 17

caused a lot of the delays in activation was


the fact that we were being - t_ing to be
extra careful with a lot of things. And that
took a beck of a lot of time. Okay, that wan
kind of a dichotomy really from what I was
saying _efore, we were rushing around. A
lot of the minor nitpicking stuff we were
rushing around - A lot of the more important
things, we were taking a whole lot more time
on, being very, very careful.

333 03 37 27 CDR Are there any eon_non difficulties that can


be traced to the inadequacies of design,
onboard provisions of preflight preparations?
Well, I think most of our problems were called
out on the tape. At the moment, I can't think
of any specifics, but there are a lot of design
problems that causes a lot of problems. I
think the handle thing was one of them - in
the MDA. It was very difficult to get around
._ in the MDA due to the lack of handholds. I
think up here in the - I'm sitting in the
fo_r_ard compartment of the workshop at the
moment, and I'm looking at the safe - the
film vault. Now that thing has got deep
drawers and deep doors and a neat restraining
system outside. But I wouldn't give you
2 cents for the latches that hold the doors,
and I would give you less for the restraint
provisions inside the drawers where you got
to put cameras and odd-size film magazines.
Now the restraint provisions for 35-millimeter,
and 16-millimeter, and 70-millimeter casettes
is neat. They're all very nice and neat and
orderly and things slip in and slip out and
are nicely labeled, and everything is in good
shape. But we got a few drawers in there in
which we have to keep Nikons end things llke
that. And there wan Just no restraint flexi-
bility designed into these drawers. And you
end up just putting things in the drawer,
letting them float around and bump into each
other, and every time you open the drawer,
watch the goodies fly out in your face.
Bill Pogue has spent many, many man-hours
• up here slavingover this vault,with card-
board, and knife, and scissors, and tape,
and he is busy - has done a real fine Job of
Dump Tape 333-02
Page 15 of 17

fashioning the partitions in some of the


drawers in order to hold down some of the
Nikons and some of the other pieces of
equipment.

333 03 39 35 CDR I think that in future design of film


vaults and camera-retentions facilities, that
we should really give a lot of attention to
flexibility of hold-down capability. Maybe
what we need is some hold downs like the ones
we're used - using the SMMD; that is, flexible
rubber of Teflon curtains that latch down and
you could put a camera under the curtain and
just bring the top over and latch it down
and you've got a restraint. That might be
Just the thing you need in a drawer for
odd-shaped Nikon cameras with flash attachments
and all sorts of funny lenses on them. Stowage
in the spacecraft, although there's lots
of ]_ckers, ring lockers, dome lockers, ward-
room lockers all over the place, those facili-
ties are very nice. The problem we have is
the man. And that is learning to put things
back were we got them and the other man prob-
lem is to keep track of these things on the
ground so that when one crew comes up, you
can generate a storage list that's readable
and understandable. The stowage list this
time I Just don't think was quite adequate.
We have made a few inputs on how it ought to
be formated and the folks down there did the
best they could, I think. Maybe they could
have done more in giving us a better stowage
book, but on more than one occasion, we have
looked up an item - for instance, disposal
bags, or urine disposal bags, and found out,
oh gee whiz, there's 56 of those rascals
E-699.

333 03 41 26 CDR Well, I don't give a damm how many are


down in the trash alrlock that the crew's
ahead of us threw down the crash - trash
airlock. What I want to know is, where are
the ones that are assigned for my mission.
And I find it very, very difficult to sort
the wheat from the chafe when these stowage
books slavishly keeps track of everything
that's down in the trash airlock. That is
of no interest whatsover to the crew that's
Dump Tape 333-02
Page 16 of 17

onboard and should never have been put in


the stowage - stowage book.

333 03 42 06 CDR What significant imrpovisations have been


accomplished as a result of living up here?
Well, I think I've already given you the two
most outstanding ones. That is Bill's work
in the film vault and I think my work in the -
in the organizing of a pantry are the two
biggest improvisation Jobs that we've done
so far. I can't think of any other that
are - any major consequences. We have done a
lot of minor improvisations. We find that
the food bags that our overage food came up
in for the extra 30-something days with our
straps and buckles have become very, very
handy as little utility stowage bags. They're
very handy and we've used two or three of them
already. That's about it as far as improvisa-
tions are concerned.

333 03 43 13 CDR The environmental elements of habitability


such as lighting, noise, temperature, humidity,
air flow and all that, I think have been
surprisingly good. The temperature has been
quite comfortable and quite level. Only during
the very high Beta angle have we found certain
parts of the workshop walls to be quite hot
and to radiate quite a bit of heat. But
there seems to be enough air flow to keep -
to keep things reasonably well under control
for a normal Beta _ugle ranges. The noise -
I'm surprised at how little noise there is
in this spacecraft. The only noise - noisy
place really is up in the MDA. There's quite
a bit of noise up there. But in the orbital
workshop area, it's extremely quiet, and very
comfortable place to be. I'ts Just all the
different pumps and everything up in the MDA
that make all the noise. And it's Just about
the same noisw level or possibly slightly
higher than the noise level in the con_nand
module.

333 03 44 24 CDR Well, that's about all by cormments for now.

333 16 07 41 SPT They all show up pretty much at


the same level. I think if any

that would show up. It is going
to require, however, a fair
amount of time with your eye
glued to the to the intensity

off. The scope itself however
has got already three - three locations
which appear slightly burned in.
They're easy to distinguish them.

appeared to be more or less grossly

building block 4-A correction, that was
4-B and the pointing was chosen for a

a_ _-ETECTOR i. And i got a Im_xir;czn intensity
of argund 600. I found that scanning
across the bright points of active region
87 and did not find any real pronounced
peaks as I have previously. I'll take
a look at it ags_in in ox_Jgen VI when I
get the pointing uh 4-B and 4-C. I suspect
a few more pronounced peaks there. The
82B SLIT isparallel to the neutral line

by using oxygen Vl on Dh_f_CTOR 3, and
I used a very localized peak of about 3000 th.
It appears that a region which is of bright
plage which is substantially remote from
the neutral line, although my pointing
is still parallel to it. I would say
I'm probably about i arc-minute away
from the neutral line. And because of
the very localized peak I received in
oxygen VI, I thought it was worthwhile
at least to roll where I was and not
try to get a uniform emission along the
slit in H-alpha, even though I feel that
about a third is crossed by a plage. Just
so that I get a view of the bright points
in the plage, a localized bright point
should dominate the spectrum. If you
don't feel this will be the case on 82B,
please let me know and I'll change that
pointing technique. I did not get to
change the roll because I felt that I
could - possibly not get back to the same
point, as it did take a little bit of
thinking to find it. SPT out.

building block 4-D for Delta, there's
one ... of intensity that's been changing
quite rapidly. The - at H-alpha, it now
appears to be brightest point on the
scope, although it was not at the beginning.
In oxygen IV, DETECTOR 3, it started out
at close to 20000 and I saw up to 50000 on
it at one time and then it came back down
again to below 1000. It still is the
brightest point on the scope. I delayed
in starting the GRATING AUTO SCAN until
I eoui.1 Just squeeze it in before hitting
the ESS or shooting 400 ... at the conclusion.
That's so I could get some good . .. history
on the changes in that region. Unfortunately,
I only had D_f_.'CTORS i, 2, and 3 on; I was
in a STOP mode. I should have enabled
DETECTORS 4, 6, and 7 and gone into a
MIRROR LINE SCAN. However, I was performing
a nu Z update at the same time. I did not
notice any significant decreases in the
aluminum count, the change in the beryllium
aperture position, although the PMEC count
did fluctuate quite. It's now around 400
or so. Again, it's hard to tell whether we
have within the an_naly or one of the horns.

the XUV MON, 87, or in the three other ...
active regions. SPT out.

333 18 Oh ii PLT This is the PLT with a note for M487.


I was just trying to arrange my EREP site
book for the first EREP pass, and I had brou_t
to - home to me once more Just how bad
the rings are we on all of our checklists.
Dtm_ Ta_e 333-06
Pageh of 5

All three rings in this EREP site book


came loose of their own accord. And all
the pages came loose and free. Now I
understand that there was a big full month
NASA study to try to find a new kind of
ring for our checklists. Now it seems to
me that a sidle thing like that ought
to he - able to be solved. But these
things - the big log on them, the big
hedge point is that it's use them. Because
it very easily works itself _ ) the inside
of the book but it's very har_ to get out.
I - just like %_ were talking about foot
restraints and mobility restraints and
everything and this is a problem akin to
it. I would like not to see this problem
hedged because it's a continual irritation
in managing paper work and could cause you
to ocse an EREP site. I'm - right here
no_" holding an entire EREP voluz_e 2 site
book that must have - it's about 2-_/2 inches
tbick and all the pages are loose simply
because those aAmn rings keep coming loose
all the time. If you put shril_ tubing around
Someone has removed the shrink tubing. And
the rings Just come loose on their o_m. I
want to emphasize the fact that the present
rings that we're using are unsuitable,
unsatisfactory, and down right as for as
far as the crewman is concerned.

333 18 08 06 SPT SPT 18:07 debriefing that last pass on ATM.


I think most of it's been covered real fine
d1_ing the pass; howeVer, one thing which
I did exclude was that while I was watching
the point brightening on H-alpha and
oxygen VI, I had not set up the XLrV MONITER
to follow it. Because I was busy with one
or two other things at same time. What I
did with the XUV MONITEH was after the peak
in oxygen VI was down to almost the normal
plage level so that we should not conclude
that I could not see that type of point
brightening in the _ MONITER. I was Just
not on - looming at it at the right time on
this pass. SPT out.

333 18 12 51 SPT SPT at 18:12 for the FAOs. I think in the


future for planning Earth terrain camera
ops, we ought to put the changing of
filters in the prep or in the earlier
mag change. Because when you come whistling
on down here and expect to do Earth
terrain came=a ops and then have to remove
the whole camera from the airlock and change
filters ; tha_' s a pretty time consuming
operation. What we ought to doing when
we come down here is getting set to run of
pass and not changing the gear around. So
the future I wish filter changes would
be put well preceding the actual operation.
This particular case I happened to work
out because I had got the housekeeping
done early and came over here and Just
happened to look at it. In the future
that might not be the case. SPT out.

333 18 16 2_ CDR This is the CDR at uh 00:16 Zulu reporting


THEI_L ALIGNMENT status, S192. I found
that I could not improve on the readings
gotten by the PLT several days ago. When
I started the procedure, the focus was at
the zero position on the gray tape that's
been put on the focus handle. The right meter
was reading41 percent,X was reading . 546,
and Z was reading .491. I then moved the
focus to 270. The - I adjusted as well
as I could and the - I ended up putting
the X and Ys back exactly where they were
at 546491, and the right meter was reading 14
percent. I then backed off the focus back
through zero back over to 90 - 90 degrees,
and I picked it up using the X's and Z's
knobs. I got a peak of 37 percent with
an X of -539 and a Y of .493. I then
rotated the focus back to the zero
position again, got a meter reading of
41 percent an X knob reading of .5_8, and
Y knob reading of .493 and thought I'd
better quite while I was ahead. Out.

give us an hour some day and I'd be happy
to go back and twittle with it some more

spent about 30 minutes at it during the prep

getting so - getting behind and I was
afraid I wasn't gonna get things aligned

f- it that looks like about 20 minutes
of exposure on this first field -
field no. 129. Since I was unable
to get the sequence started until
222:52:30. It appears to me that we
will not have an opportunity to get
field no. IS0 done on S183. I think
the biggest thing here is it was a
planning problem again. I was up on
the ATM till sunset and then to
whistle down here, and I don't think
you had enough darkness allowed or
available for both passes. Your first
exposure probably should have been
less than 1260. I'm Just standing
around now waiting for the exposure
light on the S183 instrument panel to
go out, 8rod I am prepared to terminate
the exposure early if necessary when
sunset is at - correction - when we

terminated at about 22:39. I had
a NuZ correction calculated when

I came down to S183. I began right


on the cue card for S183 ops. I
had no problem at all, until I got
to the point where it said: "advance
she film carousel to the desired film
plate." When I configured the FA
control panel, the plate c_me up 04
and so I put it in RESET and I didn't
time it, but I think it took on the
order of I0 to 12 minutes for it finally
to get started and start cycling
through its plates and finally get us
back to plate no. i. That took a
greatdeal of time. Then I openedthe
SAL door, verified - extended the mirror,
set in the tilt rotation per the pad,

333 23 22 13 CDR This si the CDR at 23:22 Zulu with


a debriefing from the last ATM pass.
That last ATM pass being the one
that started at 21:48 with a JOP 6,
step 2, building block 32. The
building block was carried out normally.
Then we switched over to observing
and then back into building block 4
Brave, step 2, at 44 minutes to go.
The - I trie_ to head-up m_ pointing
in such a manner that I would not
have to change in building block 36
going from step A to B and it worked
out pretty well. From 36A I did -
T pointed at the - the limb-most end
of the filament and I had the SLIT
fairly well lined-up along the filament
although we did not use the SLIT
durir_g the building block so that for
part B or step - building block 36,
step B, I had the H-Alpha i also pointed
at a dark area of the filament,
which is about hal_ay down the
filament from the limb end of it.
There were no special comments on
the building block 36 ; it all went
reasonably normal. During the observing
time, I noticed in XUV that a bright
spot was on the build - it was - I
noticed from the Polaroid pictures
taken this morning by Ed Gibson and
f
m _ •

Dump Tape 333-09


Page 4 of 8

Just looking at the XUV at the


beginning of the - of this period -
the first observation period - I
noticed this bright area was beginning
to get brighter. And it's located
at approximately 320 ° at 0.3 radius.
It's pretty much near the northern
end of the filament no. 40, as best I
can tell. The spot is ASmost as bright
as the three spots out on the eastern
side of the - correction - the western
side on the Sun, that is active region
87 aud 92. It's not as bright as the
XUV spot which corresponds to active
region no. 91. This particular bright
area in XUV was much smaller that the
active region spots 87, 91 and 92.
H-Alpha I noticed that - active region
92 now seemsto be the brightestpiece
of active region - the brightest active
region in the entire Sun. I took a look
at all three active regions, 87, 91,
and 92 with detector three of S055A
and for 92 1 got a count of 2,000 for
87 and 91, the count was down around
1,200 to a 1,000. That's on detector 3.
The white light coronagraph, in accord-
ance with your comments in the SAP,
you said you were expecting big things
to happen or at least the possibility of
an eruption with the resultant coronal
transient, l've been really watching
the white light coronagraph very carefully.
There is one rather noticable linear
streamer going out from the solar
disc at about the location of that -
of that - filament, and it's quite plain
in the photograph that was taken this
morning by Ed Gibson. l'm sure he's
already mentioned that particular streamer
as being straight, narrow and - and
reasonable prominent, but as yet there
has been no indication of any kind of
an eruption or - coronal transient of
any kind. That prettywell coversit.

I'm now in the observing time


in the nextATM pass. I'm due
to pick up on building block -
correction -JOP 2A, building
block 36 in Just about ten minutes.
And in the meantime, I am looking
again at the white light coronagraph.
I see the same friendly straight
streamer radiating outward from
about where filament 37 is located.
I see down where active region 84
is located there's a brighter streamer
and there's another streamer that
almost bisects the two which, my
guess, probably comes from - I guess
probably prominence 31 or filament 35.
Again, there doesn't seem to be any
significant change in the white light
F coronagraph sincethe last pass.
Dialing up the SUV again and looking
at it with I_TEGRATION, the bright
area that I've been talking about at
320.3 is not yet bright enough to
manifest itself in the AMBIF_NT, that
is, without INTEGRATION. As I look
at - the XUV MONITOR now, I can see
active region 87, 91, 92, and 82
without any problem at all. The bright
spot over there that I was talking
about is not really discernable until
you hit the INTEGRATE switch. At that
time, you plck-up that bright spot
plus - another bright spot on the
limb which, according to the SAP, I
believe, is called active region 76
coming back over the limb. And - that's
about it. As I trun down the brightness
on the H-Alpha, I can see that the
active regiom 91 is still - correction,
92 is still the hottest one of the
bunch. However, 91 is now giving it a
good run for its money. 91 has one
rather bright little area in it and
active region 87 seems to be picking
up some too. They're getting much more

333 23 51 41 PLT (Music) PLT with an Mh7 update


for people ... Time is coming-up
23:55 Zulu. I Just thought of a
couple of items that may be of
interest. One is trlang]e shoes.
A/though they are very useful, this
doesn't mean they cs/:not be improved,
and one of tl_e problems that we
have with them is gettingthem off -
it takes an awful long time to
get them off and get them on - it's
awkward. I don't think the lacings
that we have on these shoes is the
answer. It's awfully time consuming
taking them off, and putting them
back on, and we have to do this
several times a day because of
medical experiments, or one thing
or the other. Working out, when you
clean-up, at random, probably putting
those shoes on and taking them
off probably four to five times a
day. And the lacing gets to be
an irritation. And, it's time
consuming. Another point on trinagle
shoe, of course, is the wear, that
you've already heard about. The
toe caps have been installed on
the CDR 's and PLT 's. They seem to
be working okay, but we're also
chafing the heels of these things,
and I don't know why, but the back-up
the back of the shoe. Third plint
/_ is that the trianble slips along
the groove, and I think - any - if
t
we go this w_y in the future, one of
f

Dump Tape 333-09


Page 7 of 8

the +hings that would be very


useful would be to have some
kind of toothed - or - toothed
track which would hold - tend to
hold the thing firmly to keep it from
sliding for and aft, and then
the - the little wing nut that we
use would not have to bear the
full blunt of the stress that's
given to the - the triangle cleet
part when you move around. You
can tighten it as tight as you
can with the channellock pliers,
and in about a day, they're
loose again. So, there needs to
be a - a better method keeping the
triangle from moving. Second,
unrelated point, but still I -
in the way of restraints, is
that - again the drawers and the
poor design of the drawers that
we have. In the food compartment,
the pudding drawer is completely
inadequate. The pud dings are always
floating out of their restraints.
And getting upended when you pull
the tray out to put on top of
the food preparation tables or
one of the trays - to eat the
food. The puddings all come
floating out. The tray is
required to restrain the puddings
in the tray there, that are
reserved for pudding. Another point
is I mentioned yesterday at
the M47, is about the difficulty
in restraining the pieces
paper - maning the pieces of
paper. One of the things that
we found that - of course, clips
are very nice, and one often
encounters bungees that are very
useful. However, when you're
using the bungee, you almost have
/-- to have a convex curved surface,
D_ _e 333-09
Pete 8 of 8

so that the ]_ungee or rubber band


or whatever it is Isstretched
across a sli_tl_ c,rvmd surface.
Or else the Eriction is lost. and
we've lost al lot of pads this way,
by putting the paper u_dmr the
sprin_, and the paper will float
free. Spr1_ stretched across
a flat sul-face tends to not hold
the p_per ms well as it would
