252 Ol 52 45 CDR i don't know the answer because we Just open the
box and pull out the first one we reach. So, I
guess you'd have to say it's probably random, but
it may be the closest one every time, and we wouldn't
know it.
CC Okay.
CC Roger.
PLT S_, Crip - Just a minute - How long are you going
to be with us?
CC go ahead, Jack.
252 02 33 22 PLT Before I turn all the lights off I'd like to give
you the frsme counts on ATM. R-alpha has got
5833, Milligan has got 1521, Tousey, A has got 45;
Tousey, B has got 273; MacQueen has got 3332, and
the Vaiana, Krieger has got 202_. And Reeves has
got all he wants.

CC 273. Roger.
252 02 34 08 PLT And l'd like to give you a little word on our
friend 557 over there, too. It's sitting around
65 degrees right now. Now, I had calculated that
it was supposed to go to the sub mode at 01:53
and when I came up and looked at it at 01:4_, it
was already in the sub mode. Now, that was cal-
culated on the basis of my data that I got on
board here, which may be up to date and may not.
And our pressure now is reading 0.i times i0 -
i0 minus three. And I 'm wondering if you want me
to go to VENT or stay in OPEN on the b1_1_head
vent valve tonight.
252 02 35 13 CC And, A1, for that first pass in the morning, 10:58
is 400 K and that's Just about the time we're going
to have - have you on the first pass.
CC Right.
PLT How about having the ATM troups take a look at the
panel and see how they like it while we put it to
bed for tonight?
CC Roger.
252 02 41 01 CC" Glad they built you a nice quiet workshop. And
A1 would probably be interested to know that we
have finished dumping the - the VTR, so we've got
all of that inventory he did earlier today on the
ground.
252 02 41 27 PLT Good night, Crlp, to you and the whole team. And
I Just put the BULKHEAD VENT valve to VENT and
the pressure started to rise immediately.

and -especially when you're riding the bike, you
have a sweaty pair of socks.
CC Roger. Out.
CC Yes, indeed.
252 12 _4 37 PLT Okay. I don't think it's going to take too long
to vent down and we're not going to get through
all the i0 sets of specimens, I guess. And it
seems to me that this is such a valuable experi-
ment that if we were to use them all up and Jerry
were to bring up some _ore, it would take very
little command module space to bring some more
up in comparison to the results that we get from
them.
252 12 57 01 PLT Okay, that sounds like a good plan. And as far
as return stowage goes,, it shouldn't be a problem
because these are pretty small packages, as you
know.
252 1259 h9 CO Okay, we've resolved all that, Alan. And I assume
that, exercising your authority as commanding
officer, why you'll go along with u_ on this. The

us - have you set up calls to our families this

have somebody call over to the Harris County Youth

mentioned that we did it a week ago. Not to you,
someone else. And, man, I couldn't figure out

extend that even to three - three rods if we like.

calculation to find out whether or not you can
c_npute how strong the Earth's field is up here
at the altitude of Skylab, or you can - if you
already know that, you can get the inertia of these

252 22 50 05 SPT Hello, Bob. When are you going to start these

SPT Fine.
CC Okay; fine.
252 22 55 51 MCC A1, Jack, and 0wen, can you read me? This is
Dave Bohlin.
. MCC Okay.
252 22 57 56 SPT Must have have been an awfUl lot of work on the
night side then, because we didn't see much of
any of that on the preceding day orbit.
252 22 59 07 SPT Now let me Just make one question about the
procedures that you may be aware of. The last
couple of flares, I stayed on the initial point
for 15 minutes or so, but then even though the 82B
slit was properly aligned, I did step the 55 mirror
a few steps to get on a brighter portion of the
TAG Tape 252-12/T-534
Page 5 of 16/3371
SPT Understand.
MCC Right.
SPT We understand.
252 2B O0 07 MCC Right, okay. And the way they want you to try
to study this is do three consecutive orbits of a
shopping list lB. This is mainly for the corona-
graph to operate, and they'll be in a continuous
mode for all three of these cycles. The first on,
Oven, you're scheduled up and the next two, I
believe, A1 has. And Just a word on these waves.
They travel at a speed of about B solar radi per
hour, if they exist. We don't know if they exist.
The wavelength is about B solar radi, and the
density fluctuation is maybe l0 percent. So they're
fair - subtle type of phenomena to see in real
time, but there's a good chance that it would be
excited, especially with a bit active region on
the limb. Okay - -
252 2B O0 55 MCC Okay_ fine. And it's pretty well spelled out
on the pad. I don't think there really should
TAG Tape 252-12/T-534
•Page 6 of 16/3372
MCC Great.
SPT Okay, and so I'd - It's the same thing for 54,
incidentally. And theirs - They've got about
1000 more than the frame counter shows. And if
they want to reset it any time, why, Just estab-
lish the best time to reset it and we will.
252 23 33 06 MCC Okay, I'd like to clarify why the 82B minilimb
scan and building block exposures were - were
changed. I think you probably realize that we're
getting rid of the exposures there that are
either too short or too long in the normal AUTO
step - -
252 23 34 24 SPT Well, I wouldn't want to say that the PMEC hasn't
at least started to rise. It may have started,
but we certainly see these fall points very early
in the flare and sub flare, well before it reaches
its peaks. And I - I think that the XUV MON
is probably as early an indication as is anything.
And one other thing of - of interest that relates
to the altitude at which the - the region is - is
flaring is particularly on this last flare. You'll
notice from the H-alpha photographs when you
eventually see it, that the - I've pointed
slightly toward the limb of the brightest line
in H-alphs, And this is because the S055 detec-
tors peak up distinctly several arc seconds
limbward of the - of the brightest H-alpha region,
indicating the higher altitude for the XUV
radiation. And I - I will try to put something
together in a little more detail on the time
evolution of those bright spots, but my - my
strongest impression is only of their very
small size and the fact that they stand out so
much more clearly above any of the normal plage
activity on the XUV MON. Now, when they start,
it's really very noticeable and very early.
252 23 B7 38 SPT Okay, and I'm more convinced than ever that
the way that - to really catch these things
early, is to allow plenty of observing time,
and which, basically, you're loitering around
the most probable region; so that, as soon as
it happens, you're really - have done a little
bit of previous groundwork on it and are ready
to hop right to the spot where the activity shows
up.
N_C Right.
SPT Okay. Now, do you mean this stuff that Jack did
on - after a 171 or are you looking at just the
normal bicycle ergometer or what?
SPY Go ahead.
SPT Bill Thornton happy with all the 172 data, yet?
SPT Yes, that's the one that I've used. When I've -
When I've logged it, that's the one I've employed.

extensive on Just this last orbit. And as a matter
of fact, if I can break away here before sunrise,
I bet we can go get a handful of more pictures.
253 00 16 18 SPT Okay. All of the explanation was not there, but
we did understand there were underflights, and
I did not see any contrails, but I was busy on
tracking.
MCC Okay. Let me talk now a fair bit about some, what I
call, new visual observation ideas. Partly because
we realized that having 30 some sites was Just
breaking the system partly - both as far as you
were concered; even more so as far as we were
concerened here on the ground, processing data and
having meaningful questions, and all that are con-
cerned. We'vdelineated the list down right now
TAG Tape 253-01/T-535
Page 6 of 18/ 3388
253 00 17 59 CDR Great idea. That way - what you plan to do then,
is every pass that we get a chance, we'll - we'll
work the Salt Lake City area. We'll learn it, and
then these other sites, we'll work also, but we'll
do that mostly for photographs or what?
CDR Okay.
253 00 20 06 MCC Okay. 0wen, we know you worked with the m-gnets
today. I guess - I also might comnent that I myself
thought that that water demonstration you had last
week was outstanding. And a tremendous bit of
yankee ingenuity there or Oklahoman ingenuity with
that piece of thread holding the drops in place.
That's Just great. Do you have any plans on the
airplane or the pendulum? How are those going,
or have you written those off? Over.

MCC (Laughter)
253 00 30 32 MCC Okay, Jack, I think we went over the hill just as
I was finishing there, and if you got any comments
about T002, why don't you pick up there, and I
don't really have too much more to talk about to-
day. So if you have any comments, you've - feel
free to ta]k on and ask questions. Over.
253 00 31 31 MCC Okay. I thank you, men, and I'll talk to you next
week.
253 00 32 12 CDR Okay. You might want to think about another site
that we got some good photographs and maps of, so
that we can learn the difference between those two
sorts of things looking down. And pick something
like Africa where we're not generally in an earth -
EREP mode or something, and we can Just whistle
down there and look out the window. Africa has
been real good lately. I don't know how - what's
going to happen the next couple of weeks, but some
of those places like Casa Blanca or Gibraltar or
some of those are usually real clear.

that pad up tonight.

Just my mistake.
253 O0 36 ll CC Okay. And one item we might like to find out from
you. It was mentioned about several instruments
that we're normally going to omit, and we've been
putting those down in your schedule pad, of course,
for - for each one. And we're wondering if we Just
couldn't summarize that since it seems like it's
quite a bit of repeating over and over and over.
Either, you know, at the end of the pad in remarks

CDR I'll tell you what you could try for a day or so,
Bob. See if it worked out. If there's something
that should be omitted for that particular pad,
just write it right at the first, like you do

ing block 10s," or something. Say write it first.
Omit 82A, B, and 54 this day pass. And anything
extra, Just put within it. And I think that would
be a workable solution.
253 00 38 52 CC Okay.
253 01 03 24 PLT Okay, Bob. We've digressed from the plan a little
bit here. We got - turned the thing on, and we
got a super erruptive prominence going. Okay, and
it's near the active region that's going around
the limb, active region 9, I believe.
CC Copy that.
253 01 03 h8 PLT You can also see the dynamics in real time, by Just
sitting here watching it. You can see it changing
very perceptively. It's the first thing I've ever
seen move on the Sun.

253 01 18 05 PLT Okay, Al's down there. I don't know if he's talk-
ing or not.
CC Copy.
SPT That sounds like a real good idea and we'll sort
of keep our eye on the corona occasionally. I see
we've got 30 minutes here left, but probably take
one other look, and then see if we do see some
coming out beyond i-1/2 solar radii. So we'll
follow those guidelines. That sounds like a good
idea, and we'll see how - how it looks up here.
253 01 19 58 CC 0keydoke.
253 O1 20 45 PLT Say, Bob. I assume you want that shopping list 19
over the prominence we're looking at as opposed
to active region 10, which was called out earlier.

253 O1 54 39 SPT Well, I've been using that camera all day, but in
a manual mode. And I have not connected it up
with a timer and - and done it electrically again.
So I guess I cannot verify that the battery is up
and everything is working electrically, although
there is no problem with any of the mechanical

don't we turn the heat on?

253 13 53 43 SPT And just a comment for the ATM room, Dick. I was
just comparing a WLC photograph that I've made the
last few minutes with one taken last night at
01:20 Zulu, and I'm not sure but what there might
have been some transient visible last night about
01:20 in the .white light coronagraph. And we were
taking a good many WLC photos there, and so if it's
if it was in progress, it will be visible on their
prints. I remember Jack and I were talking about
this - sort of a dark region over about ll0 Theta,
and dicided that it probably was not a transient,
but I'm not so sure now but what it was. It
certainly differs from the appearance of the corona
this morning, and it's worth making a special
note of to take a look at on the photographs.

SPT Okay.
CC Okeydoke.
253 21 30 49 SPT Bob, info for the back ATM science room. I did
take a look at prc_inence 53 on the west limb at
the beginning of this orbit, and the configuration
was fairly different fram that when we worked on
it about three orbits ago. So I did put it over
on the right-hand limb and took one 20-second
82B exposure, partial MIRROR AUTO RASTER, and a
few 56 SHORT - SHORT exposures on the prominence -
on the - pr_ninence 53. And then went back to Sun
center and picked up with the normal plan. That
caused me to have to reduce the planned 27-minute
I exposuresto about i0 minutes for S056. One other
thing I wanted to c_ent on. There does appear
to be a possible new emerging flux region over near
the east limb at about 280.9 radii. It's got a
noticeable signature on the XUV MON. It's only
H-alpha signature is a rather bright spot in the
network. But it does have a small H-alpha signa-
ture as well as a somewhat more noticeable XUV
signature. And it might be interesting to try
to pick up some early work on that in the next
couple or three orbits. Over.
CC Copy.
CDR You can sure see the forest fires from up here,
up north-northwest of San Francisco.
253 21 h4 h2 SPT Hey, Bob, it might also be worth noting the near
absence of the bright spots, which we found so
prominent all over the Sun's disk before the
activity began increasing here about 3 weeks ago.
There is really almost no bright EUV [sic] spots
visible on the disk at lonKtitudes towards the
east of active region 19 until we get clear over
to this new emerging flux region, if that's what
it develops into, about nine-tenths of a radius on
the east limb.
CC Copy.
SPT Okay, good point. And that was only on S052 that
you were so concerned about the continuity?

CC Okeydoke. (Chuckle)
CDR Okay.
CDR Boy, you all do put in some long hours, I'll say
that. You're right; you probably don't. He sure
does. I tell you we've exercised more up here
than we ever did before flight.
CC Copy.
CDR Yes, we've been thinking about that one, not only
now, but for the last month or so. Let me tell
you a couple of things that don't work. Just a
plain Jar with a sprinkle cap on it doesn't work,
shaker type. That doesn't do the Job. You open
the lid, and it's all floating inside there
between the lid and the top of the shaker, so
that gets all over. If you try to shake it, it
doesn't work. Now suspending it in liquid if
you could do that sad get enough strength in it
and not put them in little bags, but put them in
something like these plastic mustard carriers,
mustard dispensers that you know about or the
things that have maynonnaise in them, you know,
these big plastic things where you squeeze and
it would come out, that would be good. But l'm
worried about - It might turn out like this
salt - where you squirt all sorts of things on
your food, and you don't get a heck of a lot of
salt in there. And I don't know if you could
suspend pepper and some of these other things
that way. Now something like horseradish would
probably lend itself to that, or something like
Tabasco would be good in there. That would be a
dispenser for Tabasco. Now they might have to
TAG Tape 25_-01/T-5_8
Page 5 of ii/3h89
254 01 13 02 CDR Another thing that works fairly well, but not as
good as having a squirter like that, is we got
pepper in metal cans. And you can sometimes
squirt the pepper out of the metal cans by squeez-
ing the sides, Just as you can on Earth. But
the trouble is, the pepper hasn't got much mass,
so some of it hits the food, but a lot of it Just
floats around. Now it seems to me that if we can
come up with, m-ybe, some sort of dispenser that
had plastic sides with a littler spout on it,
similar, once again, to the mustard thing, maybe,
except without it being in suspension, and had
Just a little nozzle, that you might be able to
squeeze it and squirt it on the food. Jack has
an idea that might work. He suggests something
like a perfume atomizer, except you don't pull
out liquid. You somehow have a little bulb that
you squeeze and it squirts past the top and makes
the materials come out. Now I don't think this
would be too hard to simulate on Earth. All you
got to do is get a full something and turn it
upside down. If it falls out, it's no good. But
once it's upside down, if you could squirt it out
or something like that, then it probably would
work in zero g.
254 01 57 50 PLT We got the Nuz update. I hope you like it. (Music)
PLT Okeydoke.
254 02 01 04 PLT You know, it might be, because I can see a little
gap in there, although when I tighten down pretty
tight, it doesn't do much to tighten it down any
more. It makes it harder to get off. That's what
it does.
254 02 01 55 PLT You guys are all right. Let me tell you what hap-
pened. A little O-ring in there popped up when
the things were changed out yesterday. And it
caused a little gap in there. And it didn't pop
up very much, but Just a little bit. And I
reseated it, and screwed it down again, and it
looks like it's in fair now. Why don't you take
a look at your TM and see if that did the Job?
If not, I'll swap it out like you said.
PLT Ah, I think he's re_lly been running way ahead all
the time, anyway.
PLT Okay. Have the ATM guys check with their stations,
and see if they're seeing anything in the corona.
I see - what I see appears not to be some nice
straight rays on the corona, but appears that
there's a supergiant loop. And have them look at
it and see if there's anything unusual.

four marks on it, and we thought they were each

254 19 22 01 CC Stand by 1.
254 19 23 37 CDR By the way, the door is still acting the same
way. The only way we can get it to operate is
to disable both motors and then enable the
primary motor. And then the act of enabling the
primary motor somehow resets the logic, it looks
to us like. And wherever the door happens to be
at that time, either opened or closed - I have
a feeling it's either one or the other, although
it doesn't indicate it - then the talkback
_mmediately goes barber pole or gray. It doesn't
wait like it's cycling there. It acts like
it's already there. It's just waiting for some
sort of logic to allow it to say so.
CC Roger.
CC Roger, AI.
CC Okay.
SPT Go ahead.
254 19 33 57 SPT Okay, we'll try that. Now it used to be, before
we replaced the batteries the first time, we could
see a different sort of image between the ON and
the IR position. And so that led me to believe
that there was some IR response that was at least
different from the visible persistent _m_ge response.
And now, we get exactly the same sort of an image.
It looks, in away, like a TV raster in which the
vertical sync is slipping. You can see sort of
horizontal lines moving up and down a bit. And it
Just does not 10ok like the good persistent image
should, so we will replace the batteriesagain and
check it all over as you've suggested then. And
then if that doesn't work, I'ii probably look at
it inside.

254 19 36 04 SPT One other word for the ATM room, Dick. A1 and I
took a look at the WLC display Just before starting
the extended standard at the beginning of this
orbit, and the top of the loop was already off our
visible scope, although we believe we can see the
two extensions of that loop where it comes back
and intersects the occulting disk. And so it's
moving out more rapidly than most that we've seen.
Must have been a couple solar radii, a couple -
yes, a couple of solar radii for half hour or
something like that.

254 22 05 B9 SPT One other rather interesting thing about it. The
color is important because of the molecules gen-
erating the light. And the arcs tend to be of a
reddish hue toward the lower portion of the arc
in the yellow, and then a greenish hue in the
higher altitudes of the arc. So that was - has
been observed now on two or three of the passes.
And it seems to be, at least, a general charac-
teristic of the aurora today.

254 22 27 15 CC And, A1, one other idea. If that one does not
work, you can disconnect the water servicing
umbilical from the LSU and try to find something
where you can depress the inlet fitting on the
blue end of the LSU, and see if you can get flow
like that.
254 22 27 33 CDR Okay. Have them check to make sure that there's
no little rubber washer. I did that one time
when we were troubleshooting our condensate
system and got a little rubber washer in trouble.
So I had - I had to disassemble a val.ve and put
it back together. So you might want to check
that.
CDR Okay.
CDR Okay.
254 22 48 37 SPT Bob, AI was Just noticing that when we get the
image too bright; for example, when we turn the
brightness up, then those horizontal bright lines
still appear. So it's as if - still relates to
the fact that its response to a bright image or
to any image, for that matter, seems to be quite
different than it was before.
254 22 55 34 CC Well, it could have been that the other line was
clogging up and not flowing. Did you allow it
to flow for a pretty good period of time with the

255 14 43 08 SPT Okay. Now l'll give them a little info on that

because I thought my first - first MIRROR AUTO
RASTER was not quite centered well, and so I went
up precisely 3 arc minutes. And so from what
you've told me, I assume that the last MIRROR AUTO
RASTER is the one they thought was the best point-
ing, and that's where I'll be.
CDH You got it. Can we talk for a minute about this
183 a second, Dick?
And the second, the 15:00 that you see in the pad
is the sunrise time. And you - the exposures for
$183 should be complete prior to that time. So if
you started them at on the window opened, for
example, at 14:35, they would be complete well
ahead of that 15:00 time. Over.

255 15 47 37 SPT Dick, for the ATM room. There is one particu-
larly bright streamer at about 080 Theta, Just
north of the west limb. And I don't know if
that's associated with the transient that' s
been reported or not. It - of course, it was
not bright where the active prominence was
described, but I'm giving $052 some exposures
for the last l0 minutes of the orbit here.

Red a swift kick in the pants there for me, will
you?
CC Okay.
255 17 24 51 CDR We've been thinking about that for a little bit.
I spent a couple of hours up here one night going
through each and every switch and procedure from
close-out through landing to make sure that I
kind of knew what the plan was at the moment.
And it sort of all makes sense to me at the moment.
I've got about five question marks written in
there. We can talk about - I just figured I'd
wait until we got closer and then talked about
them. So I'll go through this rationale - I'm glad
you included that. - and try to put those changes
in later today, and then we'll sort of think about
it. Then we want to block off a couple of hours
where Owen and Jack and I can get in here and
run through it a couple of times, touching all the
switches for entry. We'd probably like to do
that about 4 or 5 days prior to entry, or less.

255 18 07 36 CC Well, all righty, and we think the pad angles are
good. Or at least the angles I gave you awhile
ago are good. Matter of fact, let me correct that.
The pad angles are better this time, Owen.
CC Understand.
CC Roger.
SPT Okay, two items for the ATM. First one on the
orbit preceding the EREP pass, say about 3 hours
ago, we were cycling the H-alpha manually, from
OFF to MANUAL and back. And for several operations,
it became intermittent. You could press it to
MANUAL and the ready light would never switch to
OPERATE, and the frames remaining would not count
down. You could still take frames by going to
AUTO, in which case it would take a normal frame
rate. This orbit - it's all working fine again,
but there is something either a little bit funny
at the switch or the poles that's attached to it.
It was intermittent but now it's working fine. And
I just completed this S055 DETECTOR 5 test - they -
checked all 3 detectors four times. And on the
second test of DETECTOR 5, there was one little
flurry of crosstalk where the DETECTOR number I,
which I was monitoring just to get the count up.
It was about 20 seconds into the second test on
DETECTOR number 5. None of the other checks
showed any crosstalk during the procedure, so I
think that completes the check as requested. And
if there's any other questions, you might let me
know about it now while there's a little observing
time. Over.

note, we also wanted to remind Owen and Jack
on these HK70 Yankees that are scheduled later,
we expect CBRM 5 will barber pole first, so we'd

selected to CBRM 5, except when you desire some

256 23 49 01 SPT Well, I don't see how, You mean one caused the
other one, or that there is only one failure
that's producing both? If it's the latter that
you mean, we've got the cable over on the other
Vidicon where it's not being used, But yet this
one was showing intermittent Just a few minutes
ago on the good Vidicon. So it looks to me like.•
it's probably two things, nnless you're thinking
about one of them causing the other, in which ease,
I don't see how it could have happened, Over.
256 23 49 38 SPT Oh, sorry; I - I'm afraid I didn't make that very
clear. Yes, it did i_terrupt on me a couple of

it pops right back in again. And so it's still

changed the center of the MIRROR AUTO RASTER to
933 as opposed to 932. And in the last two bright
points that I've pointed at, the maximized detec-
tor, I've had to slide the H-alpha off to the
left, Just a little bit, in order to get the
detector maximized. Or if I put H-alpha right on
the bright spot, then I have to step the MIRROR
one step to the left to get it maximized. Now I
don't know if the H-alpha signature is going to
be bright in the same point as the 55 signature,
but that's Just an observation for the record.

258 ii 59 34 CDR Okay, Bob, I Just whistled down to the the trash
airlock and inspected it again. The spring is in
the Teflon box. It's not the handle that's dif-
ficult to get over the lid when the lid is down.
As long as the lid's down, it's quite simple to
get the handle over. The problem arises - and I
expect at the back - when the seal that's in the
lid - which sort of looks like an incompressible
seal - touches right at the back, meaning it's
then starting to compress near the back, near the
hinge line. Okay, then it's push - tough to push
down from that point, which means the front end
is open now about 3/8 of an inch all the way down
to the lid's down. And I assume that's the way
it's built so that you get a good seal there.
Now, it may be that that combination rubbermetal
seal that's in the lid, that serves as the seal,
could be lubricated or something. We haven't at-
tempted it because it didn't seem to increase in
severe - difficulty in pushing down, hut - but it
may be that if somebody - if I lubricated it in
some way - and you might want to look at that -
then it would be easier. But I don't hold a lot
of hopes for it, but that seems to be the problem.
It's the lid moving down and not the lock or any-
thing else.
CC Copy that.
SPT Does that turn off the light when they do that?
258 12 39 29 SPT Okay, Bob. I was Just helping Jack zip up his
suit there. And, all said, I would appreciate any
suggestions that you might have on anything dif-
ferent to do with that pendulum.
258 13 34 06 CDR Bruce, I was putting in that change into the M092
observer's card concerning this test number 2, and
they indicate something about recorders off and
that's when you make the test. I assume that's
after M092's completed; if you turn the recorders
off, that that test could take place that's re-
quired.

for example, on the JOP 6 that I just did a little

read, we should have been doing $056. Let me cor-
rect that; I see now that 56 has been speciflally

the time. But when I am much in that area, why
I look at them and jot them down. And some of'
them I have and some of them I don't. If you
want me to do - go up there a specific time, I hope
you'll have them put it into details, and I'll be
glad to do that.
CC Okay.
CC I thought E = IR.
PLT Yes, we'll probably break out the orange juice and
the ice cream tonight, or something like that.
258 2[, 02 45 PLT I've got a few of those maximum temperature read-
ings on the M518 experiment, and I'ii read you the
ones I have. Number 563, which is in there now,
by the way, is reading 969 to 970. And it's sec-
ond thermocouple is reading right in the same
neighborhood, about 2 degrees lower. And number 566
got up to 843 degrees, and number 562 got up
to 781. And we changed the ... setting on 559,
and the anticipated readout was 1005. I didn't
write one down for that, but I remember, or I re-
call that it was real close to that, if not being
right on.
258 20 05 43 SFT Fine, Bruce. That's taken care of. Thank you.
258 20 08 35 CDR That's okay. What you should do right now is give
me a go ahead to look at the back of these plugs
and see how they're doing. We might fix this.
CC Still here.
258 20 ii 5h CDR Another item. When we got finished with EREP while
ago, we decided we would clean the platens with
water, which we did, and the platens are nice and
clean now.
CC Roger.
258 20 12 23 CDR It was the same thing that had been reported by
Paul, that there was sort of streaking on the
platen not - not critical streaking, but certainly
visible. And, apparently, they had cleaned them
with that ovice solution or whatever it is, Ora-
vice, and had a lot of problems. So I just - We
had not cleaned them. We had mentioned them a
couple of times, and then we just decided that
maybe if we used water, we could probably shine
them up real good. So we used some water and
cleaned them up, and they look unscratched and
unmarked_ and they're just like new.
CC Roger.
258 20 50 33 PLT Those s1_mmaries, I believe_ were for the DAC only,
and I'm not sure that the CI film in the DAC and
the CI and 35 millimeter film are the same.
258 20 51 45 PLT Okay, I've got 1250 at F/ll and F/16, depending
on where the Sun is, and I wonder if that is also
true for the CX film, that the exterior and - cn
this DAC and 35 are the same. And the
lO0-millimeter, by the way.

primarily use S056 as shopping list items. And
since S056 is kind of out of the ballgame for a

I went in to take a few pictures of Anita's
latest effort, and it turned out that Anita's no
longer living. I don't know whether it's because
of - I expect it's because of inadequate food.
I don't know that she ever ate any of those little
pieces of filet that we put into the web there or
not. I have replaced the water, I guess, twice
since I put her into the cage, but somehow or
other she didn't make it through the last couple
of days, someplace along in that interval. Now
what I intend to do is to collect this last
web that she spun, and then we can bring that
back anyway. And my principal question is
whether or not it's better to leave Arabella in
the vial for the last week here - and of course,
I'm going to be giving her some more water
today - or whether to release her back into the
cage for the last week, whether tnat'd oe more
satisfactory for keeping her healthy? So you
raight get your people to think about whether or
not to leave things as they or to put Arabella
back into the cage. Over.

259 18 28 55 PLT Say, Bruce, Just before the end of the last rev
after EREP, we turned on monitor 1 on the ATM
panel and noticed that the image was oscillating
slightly and you could see horizontal lines in it.
And so we turned it back off and thought we'd
give it a rest. And I just turned it on now to
start using it on our present ATM pass and it's
doing the same thing. And I was wondering if
anybody's got a little information on that down
there, or have a suggestion as to what we might
do to correct it.

259 18 2!) 53 PLT No, it's a full raster and it looks like lots of
little black streaks sweeping across there at a
very fast rate. You can distinguish the Sun very
readily, however, although the - the image of the
Sun - it appears as though you're looking at the
Sun from on the ground. It looks as if the seeing
is bad, I guess you might say. It oscillates and
vibrates just a little bit. And then this
oscillation-vibration is particularly noticeable
about the periphery, as opposed to the center.
It - It comes in and out a little bit very rapidly.
259 18 33 48 CC Roger.
SPT Okay, fine. And let's hear from you, Jim; and
Jack's in on this conference too, Bruce.
259 18 47 45 MCC Okay. Well, let me take the S056 item first. I
was going to get to that during the film budget,
but I'll treat it straight off; 56 has plenty of
film left, of course, but we're unable to use it
because the hangups are getting worse. We think
what's happening is that during the modes where the
film is being rapidly transported, like in the
active modes, it kind of winds up like a spring
until the force becomes to great for the motor to
move it, and the camera hangs up. This happens
because the film is drying out, and it gets a bit
stiff. And also, there's a clock in there which
is giving a little bit too much friction. We find -
we think that we find if the camera is allowed to
rest, the film relaxes and begins to unwind. And
eventually, it's possible to move it again. Clos-
ing the airlock door lets the h11m_dity build up
and accelerates the process of relaxing the film.
For this reason, we've decided to run only in
building block l's and shopping list items using
the SINGLE FRAME mode for the rest of this mission.
This way, the film gets plenty of time to rest
between the exposures. We felt that the continual
reinitiating the camera during the ACTIVE 1 modes,
when we had a hangup, would give excess motor heat
and then might possibly eventually result in a
single point frame failure. But I don't think
that running in the building block l's and in the
SINGLE FRAME modes poses any real hazard to the
instrument. Over. Is that adequate?
TAG Tape 259-091T-620
Page 3 of 21/3955
259 18 51 15 MCC Okay. The next - the next thing on the agenda
was the _-limb coalignments, and I just wanted to
clear up some of the confusion that apparently
occurred on that. The first - there were two
4-limb coalignments scheduled earlier this week.
The first one seemed to indicate there had been
a change of more than 5 arc seconds in the FINE
SUN SENSOR BIAS. And we wanted to verify this
and possibly identify a cause, if there was one,
because the FINE SUN SENSOR had been stable pre-
viously. There is no real worry about the experiment
as of - about this, because there was no significant
change in the relative alignment among the instru-
ments. However, when you did the second 4-limb
coalignment, the 82 engineers seem to think that
you left FINE SUN SENSOR BIAS switch in the IN
position during the second coalignment on day 255.
However, they figured out a way to verify that
there was, in fact, a 5 arc-second FINE SUN SENSOR
shift, and the cause is not yet known. They told
me not to worry about it because the 82 people
have all the data that they need. The 55 is happy,
too, and there is no change in relative alignments;
so essentially - you - you can consider that one
is - that they're happy right now.
259 19 02 22 MCC Okay, tbanks, gents. I'm sure the S - the 52 guys
will be interested in what you've told them there.
Now go on with the f_Im budget to 5h; 54 is, as
you know, low on film and they're operating only in
the synoptic and certain selected JOPs. They're
also keeping some film for calibration. They're
TAG Tape 259-09/T-620
Page 9 of 21/3961
CC Keep going.
259 19 12 53 SPT No. I think that's all fine. And we might have
a chance to do some more on bright spots, that
sort of thing in this last week because S055, of
course, we'll be concentrating on since there's
no f_]m limit there. And so we'll keep all that
in mind as we work this last week here. The spicule
business, I think we'll have to talk about after
we get back. Why don't you go ahead then.
259 19 34 lh MCC They can answer that - Flight Director says they
can answer that one. So I'll turn you over to him.
CDR Okay.
SPT Glad to talk with you, Jim, and tell the rest of
the fellows there hello.
SPT That's what Bill said this morning. Now I had the
impression that the protocol that I used was
equally satisfactory. Was that too optimistic, or
not?
SPT Okay.
CC Okay, and did you use two clips on each food tray?
CDR I'll tell you another thing we found out. You can
get those tapes better - those little sponges
better, if you don't try to treat all of them the
same. By that, I mean, don't say, from now on
out I'm going to blot all of them, or I'm going to
put them in wet, or whatever. The technique we've
been using, and had real good luck with lately,
is to put the sponge in, and then before you take
off the cover off the stoma [?] seal is to push down
on it with your finger and just almost to the level -
level with the little seat. And as stuff squirts
out, it squirts out on top of the protector. You
can clear it off, and then when you put it on
your body, it doesn't squirt that stuff out all
over you, yet it doesn't take away excessive
moisture from the sponge. It's sort of a closed-
loop check, and it's been working real well.
PLT Okay.
CC Okay, fine.
SPT Okay.
SPT We agree.

a bit of static on the speaker, though. So I

260 16 06128 SPT I already got them. And better check the receivers.
260 16 3!358 CDR Say, Bruce, took a look at the corona when I
first came up, and it appears that the west
limb has undergone some considerable reorgani-
zation since Owen looked at it earlier, several
hours earlier. Namely, part of the streamers,
the bright part that was up when the roll was
zero, th - that would be along about 3:30 or
2, at the bottom of that group up there, has
been sort of hacked away; it's missing. And an
extra streamer or two has been added down at the
to 5 position, a ray or two. So, apparently,
there may be something going on in that - be-
tween those two areas, which would m_e it 3 to
3:30; it's not visible to the naked eye on the
_ scope. Owen suggestswe do an EXTENDEDSTANDARD
for J0P 8, which we're now doing. And it's probably
got another 3 or so minutes to go. I'm not sure.
r_
CC We're - -
CC Right. We understand.
CC Roger. We understand.
CDR Okay.
260 16 41 09 CDR - - and that is, what is the present time between
closeout and undocking, and the time between
undocking and the burn, the burn and entry inter-
face, and what's the length of the burn? We
kind of calculate it's going to be about an
18-second burn up here, but we didn't know.
CC Yes, what we - -
CDR Okay. Well I'll tell you where I am, per the
pad, I'm at stop 80 and REF minus 5. So I
don't know whether they - what - what they'd
like for me to do from that position.

docking - to giving it, let's say a foot per

to photograph the twin pole sunshade as we back
away?
CC Negative. Out.

if you guys are dumping sometime during the time
