there.
CDR Excellent suggestlon, we'll put it back
right now.
CC Roger.
CDR Exactly where's the vent for the hydrogen
p urge ?
CC Stand by.
CC While we're looking that up for you, CDR,
be advised we did see quad Bravo decreasing before we did the
H2 purge, so it might have been that. It was well - I'ii
take it back - running a little bit lower in quantity before
we did the H2 purge. And we're look - -
CDR Okay, let me give you-
CC Go ahead.
CDR - - I had nothing important. I was Just
give you the results of the BMAG i align if you wanted it.
CC Roger, go ahead.
CDR Okay. 17987, 20630, 35871. ASCP thumb wheels
are 1807 2076 3574 Delta T 38. Now at do we owe you any
other information?
CC CDR, negative. I'm happy I've got - I've
gotten it all.
CDR Ok ay.
CC Skylab, Houston. We're about 20 seconds
from LOS. Honeysuckle at 4:07.
CDR Roger.
CC Skylab, Houston. That purge is close to
window number 5 on the rlght-hand side.
CDR Okay. That makes sense then.
CC Roger.
MCC This is Skylab Control at 3 hours 32 minutes
elapsed time. Canaries has had loss of signal and the
next station to acquire will be Honeysuckle, Australia in
about 34-1/2 minutes. The flight controllers here are continuing
to look at the quad B situation. Don't have answers for that
yet. The crew has reconflgured for attitude control without
using quad B. The pressures are holding on that quad right
now. And we advised the crew during this pass to stay in
low rate on their optics, speculating that possibly some
contamination in the rate switch. Wetll come back up Just
prior to acquisition at Honeysuckle. At 3 hours 33 minutes
elapsed time, this is Skylab Control.

time 0001, weight 29972, trims plus 139, plus 032. Go ahead.
CC Break_ break, CDR. Stand by one before
you read back. Skylab, Houston. If you can continue to get
marks here_ we'd appreciate it. We're not sure why you've
stopped here.
CDR Okay, we'll take a look for the tracking
light again. When it went into the dark we could no longer
see it, so we stopped taking marks. We'll look out there
again.
CC Okay D and I'm standing by to copy your
re ad back.
CDR Okay, we've got the tracking light and
we'll start taking some. Thanks for getting on us.
CC Roger.

plus 0019, 183, 285, 026, Delta VC will come up later, and
then 0001, 29972, plus 139 plus 032.
CC Roger. That's a good read back. We're
about 1 minute from LOS here at Honeysuckle. WeVll be at
Hawaii at 4:26. Be advised we are talking about here a
troubleshooting procedure on quad Bravo. And I'Ii be
talking about that to you probably at Hawaii.
CDR Okay. And we noticed at least as far as
cockpit gauges are concerned that the pressure has not
changed either in the manlfold or the helium tanks since we
shut them both off.
CC Okay, Roger. We confirm those readings
on the ground.
CDR Okay.
PAO This is Skylab Control at 4 hours 15 min-
utes elapsed time. Honeysuckle has loss of slgnal, and
Hawaii will acquire in about 10-1/2 minutes. Capcom Dick
Truly advised crew that trouble shooting procedures for service
module reaction control system quad B are in work here in
the control center. He expects to pass those up to the crew
at Hawaii. A1 Bean reported that there has been no further
decrease in helium or propellant pressures in that
quad since they shut them down. We confirm that on the ground.
We passed up a flnal maneuver pad for the second phasing man-
uever. Ignition time 4 hours 33 minutes 55 seconds elapsed
time. That burn will take place before loss of signal at
Hawaii. The total Delta V of that maneuver 156.1 feet per
second. A burn time of 7 seconds. We'll be in SPS maneuver

CC Roger. That's correct.
CDR Boy, San Fransico looks pretty right out
the window. I guess that's what it is.
CC Roger. Should be.
CDR You know, Dick, those green circular
fields that are - that they use those round irrigation things on
are pretty visible from up here even.
CC Roger.
CDR Little bit smaller but very - very clear.
CC Roger, easy to see, huh?
CDR This would be a heck of a good day for a
EREP pass across this part of the country.
CC Roger that.
CDR The spray on our right hand window has
lessened even more but hasn't quit completely.
CC Roger. Thank you.
CDE I guess it probably - I wonder if you can
tell from looking at the fuel usage in the other quad which
which way that thing's venting.
CC Skylab_ Houston we believe the vent where-
ever it is, is causing you to have a plus yaw because of the
reaction we can see on the minus yaw activity.
CDR Roger.
PLT The particles are all different sizes,
Dick. They're - some of them come out looking llke kinds clots.
CC Roger.
CC Skylab, Houston. We're about 1 minute
from LOS Bermuda at 4:50 - 4:50.
SC Okay, we'll be waiting for you.
CC Okay.
CC Skylab, Houston. We probably will have
a short procedure to continue this quad one more step at
Bermuda. I'll have that procedure for you when we get there.
CDR We'll be ready.
CC Okay.
PAO This is Skylab Control at 4 hours
45 minutes elapsed time. Goldstone has had loss of signal.

to read to you here at Canary and Ascension, and they are
in work now. We've still got about ii or 12 minutes between
these two sites, so there shouldn't be any problem.

the stowage and getting to that vent valve. Another thing
is it would be okay :If you waited until after docking to
close that if that would be more convenient to you at your
call.
PLT Yeah, I think it would. The only other
time we get in there is for a waste water dump. And it looks
like we've only got 40 percent. So, I think we'll just leave
it like you say. Thank you, Dick.

will acquire in about 4 minutes. The crew reported a good
coelliptic burn and they saw her burn during this pass. And
the Capcom passed up the information that the SIVB second
stage of the booster deorbit was successful. That
stage reentered the atmosphere at an elapsed time of about
5 hours 56 minutes near the vicinity of the Marshall Islands

coast north of San Francisco, crossing the Gulf coast between
Corpus Christi and Brownsville, Texas; crossing Central
America and down the South American continent. During
this pass over the Guam Island station the Skylab III crew
was given a go for entering the multiple docking adaptor, which
entails removing the command module tunnel hatch, the probe and
drogue assemblies, and stowing them before going on into
the docking adaptor, and working their way down through the
various hatches, turning on systems, getting the circulation

vent valve and the dome of the workshop does have a fair
amount of debris in them.
CC Okay, we copy that.
PLT That's in answer to your question back
here in workshop entry. Page 1-39.
CC Roger. Do you have any descriptive
words about it? I mean does it look like it's still debris
that's working its way out from manufacturing, or does it
look llke it's, you know, people - generated stuff from
use of the workshop?
PLT Well, it's hard to tell. There's a little
bit of each in there, Bruce, and 1 guess we'll know better
when we yank it out and put a new one in r or something if that's
what you want to do sometime.
CC Okay, thank you.
SPT Hello, Houston. This is the SPT from
over in the MDA on the squawk box. How do you read these
things now?
CC Roger, SPT in the MDA on the squawk box,
this is Houston through Vanguard, loud and clear.
SPT Okay. I'm over on about page 1-39 here,
ready to do that C&W check anytime the CDR can break free.
And then we'll finish up with the fire sensor check. And
everything else seems to be going very smoothly.
CC Okay. Thank you for the update.
PLT I made a couple of notes on the N2 and
02 regs. The N2 reg is reading 180 instead of 150, and the
02 reg is reading 138 instead of 120.
CC Okay. We interpret that as trapped gas
in the nitrogen line downstream, and we're watching it to
make sure that it doesn't get any higher and no problem.
PLT Okay, I figured it has something to do
with your pressurization of the workshop there.
SPT Find out, Bruce, real quick that you don't
need much energy to move across this workshop in a big hurry.
CC Okay. We'll accept that as a data point.
PLT Say, Bruce, what's the mission day down
there anyway, 212 or 14 - something like that isn't it?

think this is mission day I.

13:48 where we're going to dump the data and voice tape
recorder. We'd like for you to hold up in the water system
activation at this point until we psyche it out. And could
you also tell us what you did with the WMC water system
yesterday? Over.
PLT All right, we Just went according to
checklist yesterday, Bruce. Whatever is in there is what
we did. And, also, water tank i0 checked out to be above 6.0
in its iodine content.
CC Okay, copy. Tank i0 at 6.0 on the iodine.
PAO This is Skylah Control at 13 hours
43 minutes Greenwich mean time. Bermuda has lost its signal.
Canaries will acquire Skylab in about 4 and a half minutes.
During this pass over the United States, Commander AI Bean
reported that they were still moving around rather slowly -
were a little bit behind on the activation schedule on the
timeline on the Flight Plan for today. They had reported
some stomach awareness last night getting adjusted to the
zero gravity of space. They all three sound good but prefer
to take it kind of easy and move slowly for a while until
they get better adjusted. The ground has advised them to
take their time, there's no greater hurry to - to stay right
on the timeline today. We've told them they could take as
much as 2 hours at this time if they would like to regroup, get
adjusted and get better organized for the activation sequence.
Canaries will he picking up Skylab within the next couple of
minutes. We'll continue to stand by and monitor the Canaries
pass for further discussions.

lunch and back on the job, I've got a location and descrfption
for Jack perhaps to hang on the transducer that feeds
the WMC dump pressure gage. Over.
CDR Okay, why don't you give me that, and
I'll copy it down
CC Okay, when you open up the door under-
neath the water squeezer, I think it's 829, the WMC vent
valve, panel 831, is right there on your left as you're
standing up in I-G, and directly in behind it is the
transducer and looking at the photograph, it looks like
it's about 2 inches by 2 inches by 4 inches, a little
apparently solid metal box with a quarter-inch stainless
steel line going in the top of it and a electrical
connector coming out the bottom. You can either do - do
it at your convenience. And we suggest that he tap or bang
on it with his fingertips or some small object and see if that
effects the pressure reading. Over.
CDR Okay, We're going to have to call you
back on that. We were blocked out for a little while
there with a master alarm from the command module. We're
going to work that problem and then we'll call you Just as
soon as we can.
CC Roger. Out.
PLT I heard all that, Bruce. I'ii remember
it.
CC Okay, it's pretty obvious, Jack. It's
the only instrumentation looking box back there behind the
dump valve.
PLT Okay.
CDR Houston, CDR.
CC Go ahead, CDR.
CDR Roger, we've had about three master
alarms from the command module this morning. And each
time when we've gone there, we found that no light was
on. We called the recall and couldn't get a light. And
we Just, of course, Just had one a few moments ago and the
same thing occurred.
CC Okay, Allen, we're showing the same
thing down here. About all I can say is that we will
keep a close eye on it. As you may realize, not all of
the command module parameters are available to the memory
in the command module. There's only about half of them
that are hooked up to that. Over.
CDR Roger.
CC This is Houston. 30 seconds to LOS at
Hawaii. Next station is Goldstone in 3-1/2 minutes. Out.

(CONT'D) that caused your problems and it finally failed in the open
position, so this probably implies that you won't have any more problems
on main A and that the data system is lost however, we want
to leave the command module switches and circuit breakers
in their present configuration for the time being, over.
SC Okay, I copy all that Probably one of
those mice is sitting on an open terminal down there. He'll get
off it after a while.
CC I thought maybe he got hungry and decided
he liked Teflon insulation or something to eat.
CC And for the SPT, or whoever is at the
ATM-DC we'd llke to get the i0,000 cleared off the DAS. And then, Jack
we have one more request for you if you feel up to it. We'd
like to go ahead and get the water condensate system activated
by going through the water separator flight servicing procedures
on page 2-27 Activation Checklist and then the condensate system
activation right after on 2-35, if you could and our feeling is that
this probably ought to take priority over finishing up the water system
activation; if you feel like you can do it and work it in otherwise
you can probably split the task up with AI on it. Over.
PLT Okay. We'll look it over and see if we
can hack that and we almost got the wardroom water thing
taken care of, I believe.
CC Okay, sounds might fine. Break, break for
the commander. Over.
CDR Go ahead.
CC Okay, AI we request that all three of you
take another scop/Dex. Acknowledge. Over.
CDR Okay, right now, you mean.
CC Yes indeed. And I got some instructions
for you that we believe will hasten your vestibular adapatatlon.
CDR We're sure listening for that.
CC Okay, I'm informed that ground base studies
and slow rotation rooms have shown that adapatation and
loss of motion sickness with head movements while protected
with medication occurs within hours or a day at most and
the following procedures are based on these and aimed at helping
you adapt. As I've indicated, you should take a scop/Dex capsule
and then wait for the pill to take maximum effect which
is approximately I hour after injection. With your body
Stationary, perform rightleft head movements of the yawing
type i.e., yaw right, yaw left at a rate of approximately 30
per minute for a 10-minute period for accumulated durations of
30 or 40 minutes. I guess this comes out to 900 to 1200 yawing
movements but don't allow any major symptoms to occur during this
period of head movements. If these simple right-left head movements
can be tolerated they'd like for you to attempt complex head movements

PAO This is Skylab Control; 00:43 Greenwich
mean time. Fifty seconds from acquisition at Hawaii. A rather
long pass of i0 minutes, directly over the Hawaii tracking
station. During this long pass, is scheduled is the ev -
Evening Status Report in which the crew will report on their
food, water consumption and the medication taken. The pass
following at Vanguard will be devoted to the medical conference
with the Flight Surgeon.
CC AOS Hawaii, for i0 minutes.
SPT Roger, just a second.
CC Roger, standing by.
SPT We noticed S055 doing a little
bar (?) on the failure of the Sun there and S052 looks llke
they're Just cranked up for a - their standard or a - probably
a standard code, is that right?
CC That's - that's affirmative, Owen. And
be advised, we are doing some other commanding here at this
pass. We are going to update one of the rate gyros and also
update NUZ. And this is the pass for the Evening
Status Report. And after that - I have a couple of other
things we would like for you to do in the command module
before bedtime. And then I would like to talk to the CDR
a little bit about Flight Plan before the pass is over, and
we still got about 9 minutes.
CDR Okay, this is CDR. Let me give you the
Evening Status Report.
CDR Let me go and get one of the squawk boxes;
it's squawking.
CC Roger.
SPT While he's gone, do you want to tell me
what you want in the command module?
CC Roger, Owen, why don't I read them to you
and let's get ahead real quick. One thing we would like to
do is in the Systems Checklist, page S/4-8, dual inverter
reinitiate is the name of the procedure. We want to go
back to dual inverter operation to get our loads better
squared away for the evening. And then we want to do some
reconfiguration on the 02 systems. We want the MAIN 02 REGs
to CLOSE, then we want the CABIN REPRESS valve, to OPEN, which
is clockwise. Then we would like the POTABLE H20 HEATER toOFF.
And finally on panel 352 the PRESSURE RELIEF valve to
OFF.
CDR Okay, I've got that Houston.
CC Roger. And one thing also, we wanted to
add, that I'd forgot on my list was a fuel cell purge.
CDR Will do.

we sampled it today, but there is no way to measure it and so
it will come home with ... in it, so that's not applicable.
Drinking water gun reading, we Just got it activated, let
me give you the initial reading, 4490, 7330, 5475.
CC Roger, I got those, AI.
CDR Okay, body mass: 6.250, 6.274, 6.278;
now the SPT, 6.035, 6.035, 6.035; the pilot's, 6.958, 7.025,
7.000. Okay the CDR weight was a short contensll and we don't know
how to give you a tally of this, but they will tell you tomorrow.
CC Roger, I'm not sure I copied on the PLT's
the first BMMD reading for PLT.
CDR 6.958.
CC Okay, AI, I've got all of that so far.
CDR Okay, no exercise. Medication, CDR,
two scop/Dex, SPT two seop/Dex, and PLT, two scop/Dex.
CO Roger.
_ood loss, because a - it is so different from what we did.
Let me tell you what we did.
CC Okay, go ahead.
CDR Okay - CDR - Just a second I've got to get
the log.
CDR Okay, the CDR had corn flakesp vanilla
wafers, orange drink, chicken and rice, butterscotch pudding
and he's probably going to have some other things before bed but
I don't know what they are. And - I'ii give you a recap on
all of this food tomorrow.
CC Okay, and I've copied that so far on the
CDR.
CDR Okay, the SPT had one piece of bread,
namely one half of a can, he had a orange drink, a chocolate
Instant Breakfast, eight - and he wlll report his meals to
you tomorrow.
CC Okay.
PLT Jack had an applesause, and he is going
to have some more for dinner and he had 7-1/2 ounces of
command module water plus 20 squirts of command module water.
CC Roger, I got that.
CC Roger, I got that.
CDR Also the SPT had eight squirts from the
command module, H20 gun. CDR had 27 squirts from the com-
mand module gun.
CC Okay.
CDR Equipment relocation, let me talk about that.
We took some scop/Dex from the large can in 706 and the small
container moved to a - move to the rack in W707. And we
moved 10 trash bags from 569 to 568. And I want to give you
a run down on the work we are doing. Right now I'm in the
process of transferlng the flight data file in the ...

CDR Can you think of anything you know I've
missed.
CC Yes that's all you have, I do have a couple
of other things. I Just want to make sure that you were through.
CDR Okay.
CC Okay, first of all, I'm not sure I said
right, what we wanted done in the command module a while ago.
It's an 02 fuel cell purge that we want done, in addition
to that other list of things. And we do have a question
as to what you got done yesturday, did you on around page
1-50 of the checklist, the rate gyro 6-pack assembly and
the command module stowage, did that get accomplished?
CDR No it didn't. It's partially done in
that they' re out and in the neighborhood of where they should
be, but they are not bolted down and attached correctly.
There's not but about 2-1/2 man hours of work left.
CC Roger, AI. That's perfectly okay with
us, but we just wanted to keep our record straight about
how much, you know we had gotten done. I would like to shoot
the breeze with you a little bit about some flight planning
for the next 3 or 4 days. We have some ideas, and
I would llke to pass them on to you and see what you think
to you about before LOS.
CDR Sounds good, go ahead.
CC Okay. Essentially what we thought we'd do
is tomorrow just have you get up and continue to press on as
you see fit, right on through to complete the Activation
Checklist. Initially we think we would like to slip the EVA
to day 5, ... day 4 and that in turn will allow us to put
the activation regrouped time and the EVA prepep - prepreped
on day 4. And we Just want you to make sure that we know
that we're happy with this kind of schedule and we want to
be sure that you are before we continued our planning.
CDR Roger, we couldn't ask for better than
that, the only other thing propose pose that you Just don't wake
us up tomorrow morning, and when we get up, we will Just
start working.
CC Okay, why don't we just wait for you to
put a i0,000 do not enter in the DAS and we will call you
when we see it.

CC Okays why don't we just wait for you to
put a 10s000 DO NOT ENTER in the DAS and we'll call you when
we see it.
CDR Okay.
CC Okay, one more thing AI. You know yesterday
we had some problems driving the optics in the command
module. And in case we go LOS here we're about 1 minute away
and your next pass is at Vanguard at 01:15 and that's reed
conference. On the optics we think it was strictly
coincidence and there's nothing wrong with the optics. What
we think happened was when you (probe) on - in on the VERB 50,
NOUN 25204 display in P40 gimbal check it turns out that this
disconnects the computer - to - optics interface and increases the
sensitivity of the servo optics - servo (garble) to the hand
controller. And then when you exit P40 it reconnects this
interface. And it turns out by looking at the data that it
appears that it Just was a coincidence that this was the time that
we feel llke some of the problems had occurred. And this is
normal operations for the optics and the way to avoid the
problem obviously would be to, if it ever happened again, would
Just be to complete the star check and zero the optics
prior to (garble) on the 204 display for the glmbal check.
Over.
CDR Okay, that's good news.
CC Okay, we're going LOS and we'll see you
at - The next pass is the reed conference at Vanguard and then I'll
pick you up at Ascension.
CDR Okay, good.
CC And CDR, if you're there, I said that wrong
The next pass will be another Vanguard pass and I' ii call you
there.
CDR Okay.
PAO This is Skylab Control. We've had loss of
signal through the Hawaii station, i0 minute pass across that
station with the crew status report on how much water they'd
drunk and their food consumed so far and a report that each
of them has taken two scopolamlne/Dexedrlne tablets to
alleviate their queasiness and a general report on how they
stand in the Activation Checklist. They discussed briefly
with Spacecraft Communicator Dick Truly, the outlook
for carrying over some of today's activation chores to
tomorrow and it ends up that it'll be a case of "Don't call us_
we'll call you." on wake-up tomorrow. Next station, tracking ship
Vanguard for the medical conference and beyond that we
are an hour and 28 minutes away from next Hawali-station
pass. And at 00:56 Greenwich mean time, Skylab Control.

CC Skylab, Houston. We recommend that you
get your rapid Delta P cue card and go through the portions
of it that has you looking for various leaks.
CDR Okay, we're working on it.
CC Okay, thank you.
CDR Are you still there, Houston?
CC That's affirmative, AI. We've still
got you for about 5-1/2 minutes.
CDR Okay. We've closed the forward AM hatch
per procedure and closed the forward hatch on the MDA.
That's the forward hatch on the lock and the forward hatch
on the MDA. It's quit taking up oxygen at the moment. We
can feel a flow of air from the OWS to us, but Okay, Just
a second, lets check it.
CC Okay, AI. Really what we were interested
in was the leak isolation area of the cue card, if you go
around and check the various places there might he leaks.
CDR Roger. We went through the first part
to see if we could maybe isolate as to which compartment,
then we could work in that compartment.
CC Roger.
CDR Houston, when you said 05:00, did you
mean the GMT?
CC That's affirmative, A1. Should have
been a couple of hours after you went to bed. One of the
items we suspected maybe was, that somebody went to the
waste management compartment, and some item in there might
have caused some leaks.
CDR We can check it out. I'll tell you what
we did do, we dumped the trash airlock a couple of times
too, at about 05:00.
CC Okay. You might check to make sure that
handle is in the full detent on the press, press position.
CDR That's a good idea. We'll give it a
turn.
CDR Our indications as we played with the
hatches here indicate that it is down in the OWS. My guess
is that that's exactly what it is. We're going to go down
and look at it.
CC Okay.
CC Skylab, Houston. We're one minute
from LOS. We'll have you again over Madrid at 11:27, 11:27.
CDR Okay, we took a look at the trash
airlock. Indeed the handle wasn't positioned properly, and
we also hear a slight hissing noise out of the trash airlock.
CC Okay. Hope we've found it then.

or so in the pad, so I think we'll probably get a couple more.

SPT Hello, Houston.

SPT Okay, Bruce. Let me give you a report
on the ii0 that was done, stock numbers and so forth. The
ASPs used were the following in the order of CDR_ SPT, and
PLT. CDR 159, and 135. The BSVs in the samde order,
CDT 022, SPT 023, PLT 024. Those are the stock numbers on
the three. ASPS are being centrifuged right now. And the
BSV are taped in the chiller compartment. Now I (garble)
ASP and syringe from the SL-2 kit and thought perhaps I
could get the BSV out of there. But apparently there were
just barely enough BSV to go around, because there were no
extra BSVs in the SL-2 box, and I had to open up (garble) box
to get these 3 BSVs out. Now there was one other problem when
I got inside of our blood drawing kit there. The first BSV
that I pulled out, and some how or other, had it's seal broken
because and of the liquid inside the little vlal has come
out and then has apparently solidified on the inside of the
cellophane package. Now this may not be familiar to you
unless you are familiar with what this BSV looks like_ but
the biomed people should understand all these comments. So
the impact of this is we have one fewer BSVs in the $L-3 kit
than we had planned and there were apparently no spares in the
SL-2 kit, so the next time I have to use them at the end of
the mission, if there aren't any extras in there, which I
didn't see, I'ii have to go to SL-4 to get it. That straight
so far? Over.
CC Okay, Owen. Copy your comments on the
BSVs and I'm familiar with the configuration on them. Let me
read back these ASP and BSV numbers to you. CDR, SPT, and
PLT the ASPs were 159, 155, and 135, the BSVs were 020, 023,
and 024, over.
SPT Yes, that's right. And they are also of
course coated with a little colored dot, so I guess that's
just back-up. But, anyway, we figure the (garble) with the
ii0 and the centrifuge will turn off on time.
CC Okay, we copy. And we are talking to you
through Hawaii with about 6 minutes left in this pass.
SPT Okay, nothing else from me here. Sort of
a late start, I'm Just now getting to my breakfast.
CC Okay, no rush. We can here some music
going in the background, so it sounds llke that things are
looking up.

SPT I think so.
PAO This is Skylab Control, the reference
there was to BSV.
SPT (Garble) Ruined BSV, unless there is
some reason somebody wants it brought back home. All it
amounts to is apparently the fluid has leaked out and then
it's a yellow deposit all on the inside of the telephone bag.
I don't imagine it's of any use to anybody. I'll throw it
away unless told otherwise.
CC Okay, Owen. We concur on that.
SPT You might be able to verify also, each
of these kits only has the six BSVs in it and no more. Did
you - is that correct?
CC I believe that is correct, we will
verify it , Owen.
SPT Thank you.
PAO The reference is BSV Bravo Sugar Victor.
That's blood sampling vials.
CC Skylab, Houston. 1 minute till LOS
Hawaii. Next site is Goldstone at 15 plus 58 and approximately
3-1/2 minutes, out.
SPT Okay, Burce. See you there.

that's 0431 Alfa. Count the lines on that to be sure you
didn't loose anything in the interrupt.

CC Answer to the SPT, we suggest you restrain
the clips and springs to the CAL mass adaptor in any way you'd
llke or strap it to the grid besides the BMMD.
SPT I have, that's the only thing I could figure
I could do with it. I think the location that was given on
the Biomed Checklist was a non-exlstent locker.
CC Roger.
PLT Hey, Story, if you're still waiting for the
location of those utility gloves, I could call a S149.
CC Yes, we're still working now. We've
got about 30 seconds to LOS. We will see you over Vanguard
in i0 minutes and we should have the answers then.
SPT Thank you.
CC And as we go over the hill, I'ii leave
the drug cans in 732, that's fine for now.
SPT Okay.

PLT Go ahead.
CC Okay, what we well the further I get
the configuration is still as it was before, Jack, that you
described we think you're following the correct procedure
so we'd llke for you to let it sit there for awhile and try
it again. If you're still unsuccessful we'd llke for you to
pressurize the scientific air lock and this ought to let
the experiment warm up still further and let it sit there for
about another hour and try it again. If finally, this evening,
we are still unsuccessful we'd just like to leave rod A attached
and just remove that from the SAL and we'll let it sit in-
doors and let us continue to think about that one. We probably
will - we can go ahead and use that with rod A as sticking
in there although it may herd us on the storage. One
reminder on that is that you need to unscrew rod A a little
bit slightly in order to let that latch engage. We're getting
fairly close to LOS and we're - we'll see you in Vanguard
in a few minutes. Go ahead.
PLT Okay, we'll do like you say on 149.
CC Okay, real fine, and I'ii give you AOS
call at Vanguard.
PAO This is Skylab Control. Skylab space
station gone over the hill from tracking station at Goldstone,
California in the Mohave Desert. Now 16 minutes away from
the next station which is tracking ship Vanguard. Lengthly
discussion there during that brief pass of 3-1/2 minutes
about rearranging some of the troubleshooting procedures that
are under way along with activation. And Spacecraft Communicator
Dick Truly, are referred to as our old friend the condensate
water tank difficulty and had some advice on how the crew
could further troubleshoot this pesky problem. And in all
likelihood we'll have further words on troubleshooting procedures
over the Vanguard 15 minutes from now and at 2153 Greenwich mean

that as each day went by you were feeling a lot better and
really having a lot of fun. I sure enjoyed talking to him.
SPT Very good, thanks a lot, Dick.
CC Roger.
CDR Okay, disconnect complete.
CC Okay, thank you.
CC And Skylab, Houston. I don't know if you
checked the tape recorder a while ago, we did send up a S192
alignment pad. And after we got it up there we had some second
thoughts about some minor things on it, and we have just up-
linked another S192 alignment pad that should replace the one you
got earlier. And the good one is message number 0529, you
can throw the other one away.
CDR Okay, Dick; understand.
CC Okay.
CC Skylab, Houston. We still got about 2-1/2
minutes to LOS. And let me tell you real briefly about one
minor problem that we're taking a looking at and still talking
about it because I might have to talk to you again about it
at our last pass of the evening which is at Guam. The
temperatures - the dew point in the spacecraft has risen to
a point where we're afraid that we may start collecting -
Where the temeperature and the heat control is lower than
the dew point. So we're thinking about possibly, tonight, turning
off the heat exchangers and, of course, the bad part of that
is that during the evening the temperature in spacecraft will
rise in an estimate in somewhere like 3 degrees or so.
I Just wanted to alert you to that before we got to Guam
we'll be talking about in between here and there. Over.
CDR Understand, Dick. Thank you.
CC And, of course, the other side of the coin
other than letting the temps going up tonight is if we
should - If this trend continues, of course, we might deposit
some water in the heat exchangers and the fans. It might
take us 2 or 3 days to dry them out so - so I guess it's
some good news and some bad news there. And we will let you
know at Guam. We're about a minute from LOS here at Ascension
and at Guam AOS is 02:26.
CDR Roger. There's no way that we could
for example hook up that condensate tank and then Just continue
to pull a vacuum on the back side of it through the SAL
ai rlock ?
CC I guess we hadn't really thought about
that one, AI, but the condensate holding tank we're satisfied
is - We'd llke for it to sit all night if that's what you're
asking about and check the pressure in the morning.
CDR I didn't know whether- since you were
worried about the humidity you might not want to pull the
water out tonight if you could, and then make the test
tomorrow day or tomorrow night. It doesn't make any difference
to us, we can stand the 3 degrees. ! just didn't know what

and finished after lunch. After studying his data some more,
the subject appears to be the pilot, Jack Lousma. So that
would put them behind on the timeline again, instead of
essentially caught up. There is time in the Flight Plan for
today for exercise for each of the three crewmen. Following
their 28-day mission_ the first Skylab crew recommended that
this crew exercise more. And they also suggested some muscle
exercises to augment the blcycle ergometer, which was the only
exercise device that the first Skylab crew had aboard.
Skylab II commender, Pete Conrad, said the bicycle exercises
were good for the cardlovascular system, but he felt his
muscles didn't receive adequate exercise. As a result of
those recommendations, two additional exercising devices have
been placed aboard Skyleb. These devices identified as Mark I
and Mark II, provide the crew with the capability of exercising
the muscles of their arms, chest and torso. The devices
were modified at the Johnson Space Center, by the equipment
engineering branch of the technical services division. The
Mark I device is a rope friction device used mainly for back
and torso exercises. And the Mark II consists of multiple
removable strings with handles. And it provides for the chest
and arm exercises. Each of the crew members will be allotted
approximately 45 minutes a day for exercising, that is
in addition to the exercise that they will get on some days
_doing the M171 ergometer exercising. We're about 5 minutes
away from Guam. We'll come up then. At 18 hours 56 minutes_
this is Skylab Control.

and B. I put heat exchanger A, on, and then take the B con-
nectors OFF. Is that correct?
CC There's only mol sieve B, AI.
CDR Okay, ]et me say it again then. I said
it wrong. Mol sieve B. I take tile connecter off and turn
on A. Mol sieve A, I take the connector off heat exchanger
B, but ]eave tool - I mean heat exchanger A closed. Is that
correct now?

CDR Okay. Let me answer the question that
you sent up today about what we ought to do on day 7.
CC Go.
CDR Okay. We'd like to do that EREP pass.
That's first. And that happens to he the first EREP pass
we ever do. We'd like to start 1 hour earlier on the prep
than normal. And if it turns out we're going to do EREP
before then, the same thing applies to whatever we do then.
The thing that we've noticed is, just when we start it takes
longer the first time, and we just - we just tend to fall

PAO This is Skylab Control at 22:33 Greenwich
mean time. Minute and a half now from acquisition through
the Hawaii tracking station, earing the end of revolution 1144.
Plight Director Phil Shaffer taking over the flight director's
seat in the control center here and is going around the room
for questions for the Evening Status Report to be passed up
to the crew.
CC We're AOS Hawaii for 8 minutes.
CDR Okay, Houston. This is CDR.
CC Roger go ahead.
CDR Okay, I got all these things done on the
condensate dump that you asked for. Namely, I've got both
B-sets of heat exchangers disconnected from their launch
stowage position. On mol sieve B, I think heat exchanger A is
OPEN and on A it's CLOSED. And I've connected up to the
dump tanks. I believe that's Just what you wanted.
CC Rog. We concur. AI, have you got anything
else for me and I got two o_ three things and a couple of
questions for you.
CDR Well, I got a question for you. We were
just running this M092/171 with SPT and on the second level,
the 40, he had a presync (garble) feeling. His heart rate
had gone up to around 85. It started decreasing and then
his systolic and diastolic started to converge. I have the
numbers but of coursep they're on the tape. And so, we aborted
the run right there and finished the runs Just an ambient
in pressure. We discussed the matter of doing the 171 after-
wards and did not know of any ground reel that prevented
doing a 171 after the 92. And we realize that the 92 was
largely a blood cooling experiment whereas 171 was cardiovas-
cular conditioning and so we've rigged up to do the 171, but
we have not performed it yet. And we'd like to have a GO
from you on that.
CC Roger. Why don't you give us a couple
of minutes AI, and be thinking about that one if you got
anything else.
CDR That's it. Go ahead with yours.
CC Okay, AI. First of all, the eomm when
we left Vanguard the last time was - got real ratty the last
couple of minutes, And back to your answers to our day 7
questions. I have a couple of questions for you Just so that
we can clarify. You want 2 hours of inspection on the EVA gear.
And then a normal EVA prep and the first question I have is
is on the EVA prep. We - did you want 2 hours on that which
was premission nominal or 3 hours which was what we had planned
on giving you. So, the real question is, do yon want 4 or
5 hours total dealing with EVA on mission day 7?

soon for a slot on the Houston City Council and all day today
we were appelted by heavy rains and with the flood warnings
being posted in many areas. In Boston yesterday, there was a
crash of a DC-9 airliner. One of 89 persons survived the crash -
crash and the airplane was trying to land in - against fog.
And for Jack there, he was not flooded. (Laughter).
PLT Thank you. I was about to ask you.
CC On the sports scene Welskopf won the Canadian
open for the $35,000 first prize and he won over $200,000 playing
this year. And last Saturday in the pro-football Hall of Fame,
the San Francisco 49ers beat the Patriots 20 to 7.
SPT How did Palmer do?
CC Don't know, I'll find out for you. It
doesn't that was all it had on here.
CDR Say, Dick, also nobody's more interested
than we are in getting the condensate loop fixed., so yu're not
bugging us a bit. The only problem is the one I mentioned earlier.
We - it takes time to get that tight Plight Plan and there's no
way to get all those things done.
CC Roger. I guess our only concern AI, is
it's seems llke the that we were thinking that you might
think we were very haphazard in the number of things we tried
and so forth. And there has been some method to out madness
trying to look at various configurations for periods of time.
And some of the calls that have been, you know, put up with
that much rationale, we Just want to make sure that you knew
that we think we understand a little bit more about where the
leak is and we Just got to get this system working right so
we can stop working on it and get on with other business.
CDR Right. We understand that. There's one
thing I've known since I've been here. The MDA shutter doesn't
do anything irrational.
CC Roger that.
PLT Hey, Dick. Tell my wife I'm sorry I
missed the call. I could hear her talking at the other end,
she couldn't hear me. And I Just came back down here to finish
my steak and ice cream.
CC Hey Jack, we got about a minute left.
We've got a Guam pass that's about 03:17. It's the next
time around. That's about 10:17 here in Houston. If you'd
llke, I'm sure that we'd llke to try again, if you'd like
to set us up and for that pass.
PLT Okay, I'll try it again. Right about
a half an hour right before bedtime. That's all right. I'll
take it.
CC Okay, l'll tell you what. We'll try to
set that up at Guam at 03:17 Zulu. I will not give you a
an FM call over alr-to-ground. But if you want to talk to

CC Roger, we copy.
CDR One of the questions that has been
bothering me a little bit, I gather we donot ever do the
fuel cell purge unless you call up and tell us. So even
though it's on - might be on a presleep check-list for me,
generally it means I got to hear from yon to do it. Would
you verify that?
CC Okay, I'ii work that one, AI.
CC Skylab, Houston_ for anyone. During the
night we noticed that the SO73 run 2 refs and stopped, and
what we'd like to get right away, if it's convenient for
someone, to check the programmer and give us the refs readout.
See if it is 02 or 12.
CDR It's on 02.
CC Roger. In that case, what we'd like for
you to do is set filter wheel A to 3. And, if we could, at
11:33 GMT we'd like to get you to start it. And that will
give us a couple of refs on it before we have to shut it
down because of the recorder conflict with MO92.
CDR Okay, filter wheel going to 3, and at 11:33
we'll start it off again.
CC Okay, thank you a lot.
CDR What do you want on the refs now?
CC Just leave it on 2 and that'll give us
2 refs just right for - prior to the MO92.
CDR Okay.
CC And, A1, in answer to your question about
the fuel cell purge, that will be a scheduled item and we'll
put it in your detail pads when you're scheduled to do it.
CDR Okay. On that pad that came up, was
that supposed to be a ref 12, and I set it at 2? Is that
what occurred?
CC That's affirmative.
CDR Okay.
CC Those - on the SO73 those refs would
have been in a checklist under the particular program.
CDR Okay, it wasn't on the pad itself?
CC That's affirmative. That's in the
checklist under the program you're running.
CDR Let me take a look.
CC Skylab, Houston. We're about 30 seconds
from LOS. All your pads are onboard. We'll be coming up
on Honeysuckle at 40, and we'll have a few flight plan
deletions for you there, and a few little odds and ends we'd
like to pick up.
CDR Sounds good, and I just checked the
check-list and it does say 12. I missed that one.

up on Canary at 31.
CDR Okay, I turned the power on again, it
kicked itself off, but I left the power switch itself on.
CC Roger, copy.
PAO This is Skylab Control. Bermuda has
had loss of signal. The Canary Islands station will acquire
Skylab in about 3 minutes. During this pass over the
United States, while in acquisition at Goldstone, ground
controllers noticed a drop in pressure, both helium and
oxydizer on reaction control system quad D of the service
module. Also, a - a rapid decrease in the package temperature
of that quad. Crew has isolated quad D. The helium and
oxidizer pressures are holding now. They dropped about
20 pounds per square inch. Package temperature came down
around 90 degrees. It is now stabulized in the high 40's.
The pressures are holding about 171 pounds per square inch
at the moment. The most suspect item here is a leak, an
oxidizer leak somewhere. The crew did report seeing
sparklers again. This is the second reaction control
quad on the service module that has been isolated during
this mission. Quad B was isolated earlier in the mission.
B and D are opposite quads. Canaries will have acquisition
shortly, we'll stand by.

are both pretty tight time lines. And I just wanted to make
you aware of these and see if you had any comments on them.
CDR We don't mind missing the shower. We've
been taking sort of sponge baths up here, and they work pretty
good. Everybody looks clean and feels clean. So we can stand
that. I'd say try to go with the EREP if we could and cut
out some of the housekeeping that could be delayed, but not
put it on the shopping list. But just put it in as a scheduled
item until later ot_, the ones that can be delayed past 7.
CC Okay. And for your information now_ AI,
the weather thing Ylow is pretty much "blah-do" for the EREP. It
doesn't look too good. However, we're going to take another
check on it later on this afternoon. And we can priortlrize
the housekeeping so that we should be able to push some of
that back a little bit if we have to.
CDR That's a good idea. Just be sure we get
that EREP prep that we asked for, and if you can prioritize, that's
good. If we finish our EREP - correction, our EVA prep early,
then we'll go ahead and work on the housekeeping.
CC Okay, and we're about LOS now.
PAO This is Skylab Control. Canary Islands
has loss of signal. Honeysuckle will pick up Skylab in
35 minutes. We're continuing to evaluate the quad Delta
reaction control system on the service module at this time.
When we know some more about this situation, when ever any
decisions are made concerning that, we'll give you that
information. At 12 hours 41 minutes Greenwich mean time,
this is Skylab Control.

CC Regarding the helium quads the message
the references on page 63 is correct. If we do a soft undock-
ing, we've opened up all 4 quad helium valves in case you need
that quad for emergency purposes.
CDR Okay, I noticed that they have done that
all the way through, and it really makes sense. Okay.
PLT Story, I'm going to (garble) a little while
until we get the use of this on exercise on TV, modify
the pointing a little bit so it takes M092, and 171 if that's
all right with you.
CC Yeah, that's great, Jack.

recorder running right now.

on now. We're uplinking the star tracker pad 2 to you at this time.
SPT Okay, I did get a star tracker pad for Canopus
a little earlier. I'ii wait and as soon as I get this new pad
I'ii lock on a new star and I presume you fellas will take
care of enabling and do the update and so forth as you like.
I'ii just put it on and leave it in auto.

power systems alert light now.
CC Thank you.

that you wanted open now, in the CSM.
CC We don't want any of them open now, AI.
CDR Oh, you changed. Okay, understand.
CDR You might pass this through de activation
checklist troops, Story. Since we're starting to get
some changes to that checklist, and I suspect a lot more as
a result of these quads we've got in addition to probably
other things, I've taken the three books and called one
of them CDR, one of them SPT, and one of them PLT. So if
they will call out which one of those three books the change
applies to we'll Just put it in that book.
CC Okay. That's a good idea, AI.
CDR Okay, we've finished the checklist
update to the deact books and the SWS systems books, yeah,
SWS systems book one of them anyway not the other yet, be-
cause we haven't got the messages. It's probably there and
we haven't seen it. And I'm going to go do the EREP checklist
now and then do it. And then later on Itll try to get the

done last night?

wanted one and I didn't see one to do. Was there one on
the plan and I missed it?
CC That's housekeeping, command module
4, and you could do that today when you finish up command
module 7.
CDR Okay, I think I asked about that. I
was - earlier yesterday whether you wanted me to do it or
wait for a message from the ground. But I guess the house-
keeping 4, that was enough. I'ii go do it Just as soon
as we finish this. lets - presently ECS is running and
when I turn it off I'ii do the fuel cell check.
CC Okay, and there's no hurry on this. And
for the rest of the day there are no time critical events.
The VTR presently is inoperative. I'ii leave it in it's
present status because we want to do some trouble shooting.
And so, from now on any TV we get will have to be real time.
CDR Okay.
CC The quad temps you report earlier, we
considered okay. If necessary, if we need to use the quads_
we use the heaters. And considering your film stowage,
I take the ETC mat out of D and put it in J, and then your
second S019 mat, put that in D. And we're going LOS here at

PLT Thanks very much.
CC Okay, and we're i0 seconds to LOS, be
picking you up over Hawaii, at 21:52 and we will be dumping
the tape recorders then. And as we go over the hill here,
we have an S073 operations for you, that's mode 1 Bravo, trunnion
002, gain 8, field of view I, rod 15, start at 21:02.
PAO This is Skylab Control, we have loss of
signal from tracking ship Vanguard next station Hawaii in
58 minutes. At 4 p.m. central daylight time in the Houston
News Center there will be e Skylab III Status Briefing by
program director Bill Schneider. Any air-to-ground taking place
during that briefing will be taped for delayed playback. To
repeat, 4 p.m. central daylight, Skylab Program Director Bill
Schneider will hold a briefing in the Houston newsroom, at 20:54
Greenwich mean time, Skylab Control.

PLT Okay.
PLT And when do we get the word whether or
not to go into the EREP day or a non-EREP day?
CC Skylab, Houston. We're GO for EREP at
this time. And one quick question, when you put that decal
on did you Just tape it - tape it right over the other one?
PLT That's affirmative.
CC You think it would be possible to pull
it off of there and go back to the SL2?
PLT Well, I'ii give it a try. What's wrong
with it ?
CC Well, after a lot of study of the procedure
we decided the SL2 procedure was the better way to go.
PLT Okay, I'ii give it a whirl then, Hank.
CC You see that the new procedure calls for
bringing down BUS 1 and that has some serious implications
for S192. And we're about i0 seconds from LOS now. We'll
be coming up on Honeysuckle at 32 and we'll have a recorder
dump there.
PLT Okay. Why don't you just have them find
out what to cross off the old - the new decals, that might
work too.
CC Okay, it looks pretty complicated at first
cut but we'll be looking at that during LOS.
PAO This is Skylab Control. Madrid does have
loss of signal. The next station to pick up Skylab will be
Honeysuckle in 35 minutes. Crew has a GO for - for the EREP
flight plan for today. And the trouble shooting will continue
on the S073 experiment, the gegensehein/zodiacal light experi-
ment. During the day also, later in the afternoon today, the
crew commander AI Bean will check out the astronaut maneuvering
unit, the M509 experiment. He will not fly it today, this
will be merely a checkout of the systems. And science pilot
Owen Garriott is scheduled to conduct T003, the inflight
aerosol analysis experiment. The object of this experiment
is to measure the sizes, concentration and composition of particles
in the atmosphere inside Skylab, as a function of time and location.
Also included in the very long telepzinter pad that was sent
up to Skylab, the one that Jack Lousma referred to as longer
than the fireman's pole in Skylah. Also included in that is
the - another procedure for attempting to clear up the malfunction
in ED52. That's the spider web experiment, one of the student
experiments. The electronics subassembly in that experiment
has malfunctioned, that's the electronics that controls the
camera, 16 millimeter camera, and the and the lights. This

CC AI, the universal ear pieces are in the
left arm pocket of the coveralls in U-2.
CC And also, AI. We're showing on S073 that
the filter wheel is in position A. We'd llke it to be in
A-B.
CDR Let me check it.
CC And, we're i minute to LOS. We'll be
picking you up over Hawaii in 12 minutes. We'll be dumping
the tape recorders over Hawaii. And for the PLT, the desiccants
will probably have to be dried about 48 to 72 hours. But
in any event, dry them until they're dark blue.
PLT Okay. Thank you.
CDR And, Story. It is in A-B. It's in auto
and A-B.

CC Okay.
PLT Story, is that ah - -
CDR Now, it's in -
CDR Now it's in B.
CC Okay.
CDR Now it's in A-B, again.
CC Roger.
CDR I noticed when I ran the first part of
the test that you do on page 6-11, I reported it on than A,
that it never cycled anything but filter wheel A. And I
reported it as a malf, and said I'd run it again after this
and see what would happen. But the thing is in A-B.
CC Roger. Go ahead, PLT.
PLT Ah - hat thing about the desiccants, is
that with the heater on or with the heater off.
CC We'll get you over Hawaii.
PAO This is Skylab Control. Honeysuckle has
loss of signal. Hawaii will acquire in about 11-1/2 minutes.
The desiccants that have been discussed during this pass are
small bags containing a moisture absorbing material. These
bags are placed in the S190 camera and also inside the crew's
pressure suits, while they're stowed to absorb any moisture.
The color indicates the amount of moisture present. And
every so often, it's necessary to take these small desiccant
bags and bake them out, or heat them to the point where they
are dried out for reuse. We'll come back up. Well we're at
the time now for the news conference with Flight Director
Chuck Lewis, which will begin in the next couple of minutes
in the news briefing room at the Johnson Space Center. If
that conference is still in progress at Hawaii, we'll tape

comment that I had was that for the backroom ATM people. That
we got a pretty nice picture of the corona at this point.
Not remarkably high resolution, but I think about like
it was before. The XUV MON picture without integration is
just barely visible, but with integration it stands - the
XUV picture stands out very nicely. There are a number of
bright points visible all across the disk of the Sun.
And with our camera I think we may be in - may be able to
identify a number of bri_ht - bright points to use in talk-
ing to you a little later on. H-alpha looks good and H-alpha
i has a little bit of gitter in it as it did on SL-II. H-alpha
2 looks real good.
CC Okeydoke. Copy that. Appreciate the
words.
CDR The cy,_ling's not doing a thing Crip.
We've done it about 25 tin,es.
CC Okay - -
CDR I think we'll bring it in and bang it on
tile side. We were wondering last time we did it just how
]lard we could bang it on the side in - in complete safety.
CC Okay. You I guess you can use your
discretion on that and our recommended trunnion setting for
it is 120, 120.
PLT Okay, Crip. And I got a couple of operate
pads here. What do you want me to do with them?
CC I guess l'd hold up on them until we see
what your tapping - it does. If that doesn't seem to do any-
thing well you can go ahead with your program if you got
still got time.
CDR Okay. We're going to go rap it some more.
And I'ii be off the eomma minute.
CC SPT, Houston, if you got a moment.
SPT Go ahead.
CC Roger, Owen. Regarding your AC-I problem,
l guess - apparently we're concluding that you just haven't
got an AC-I. And one of the things that you can do to sort
of help out your panel configuration is that you can select
6 on integral if you so desire integal, and numeric lighting
and that will allow you to go back to plus-I positions on all
the other switches.
SPT Oh, that's good news. I've - I've already
selected that 6th on the integral, but I will select 6th on
tile numeric, and then go back to bus i. Now that'll be
convenient.
CC Yeah. That - that just might primarily
for panel configuration. Actually what that's doing is - is
feeding bus 1 the numeric bus, through AC-2, so you're

(CONT'D) Owen was up for that now and I'm not sure
whether he's found it our not.
S}'T Negative.
CC Okay, has anybody had a chance to re-look
[n A-9.
CDR We've looked all over the command module.
We've got 2 things we can't find, right of all that stuff
we've moved in. Just a second. Something's ringing.
CC Okay, if somebody could make a note S009
motor should be stowed in M157.
CDR Okay, l've got that, the other thing that
we can't find is that rejuvination kit for the 133. Those
two items we can't find and we think we have everything else
found. Go ahead on those others.
CC Okay, on the ATM C&D water filter we've like
to leave that stowed in A-5 and the reason is that is were
your procedures call for you to get it.
CDR Okay, we'll go put it back.
CC Okay, on the parasol fabric again for
tile same reason we'll like for that stowed back in A-9.
CDR Okay.
CC And on the waste measurement compartment
water dispenser valve, those should be in D4-38 which is the
water equipment container.
CDR Did you say E4-38 or D?
CC D as in dog.
CDR Okay, I got that.
CC And the wardroom window cuppling I guess
is academic now if you have already started it.
CDR I've started it and wetve found the other
washroom valve also.
CC I guess that - you saying the other WMC
water dispenser valve?
CDR Yeah, we only found one the other day, now
we got them, we found them both. We think we only have 2 missing
items.
CC Okay, I understand now, you got both of
them that we launched and a -
CDR That's affirmed, the reason we off loaded
everything from the command module was that there is still
a lot of gear up there that - that is padding and widden -
,,ot widden - towels and tissues and all sort of things and when
we started hunting for these items we just all looking along
we say we get everything out of the command module and get
it down here, except command module things, and then we would
only have to look around here. Still didn't help for those
two items.

had them ready. You suppose that you could start sendin E
us on a daily basis a - since we do have these rate gyros that
are a little erratic, on a daily basis or every time it changes
what gryo is being - you feel, is the prime area in each axis
particularly the Y-axls, so that in the event we do have a
discompare or something we know which Y-axis, particularly
but others too, to select as the primary one. And then when
you - if you change your mind on that sort of thing you
maybe send us a new one. And if you could send a pad such
that it says sort of this way, In the event of a Y-axls
discompare - and if this is true and - and manual selection has
to be made, do the following, and then give the actual
code numbers, and then say, "This will do such and such to
the Y-axls." Do you understand what I'm shooting for?
CC Roger, we understand and we' ii work on
it.
CDR Right, we'll put that up there by the
rate gyros and then we'll ha_e it onboard sort of as immediate
procedure and you can Just say, go to the rate gyro information
of the day if you have a pro|,lem, and then we can go there
and we'll have the commands _nd everything, and time won't be
wasted looking up command, and that way we might save some mlbs
or something.
CC Roger, we agree. And we're about i0
seconds from LOS now. Bermuda at 31.
PAO This is Skylab Control. Goldstone has
loss of signal. Skylab too far north to be acquired by
Texas or Merritt Island. Bermuda will pick up the spacecraft
in about 3 minutes. We'll keep the llne up for acquisition
at Bermuda.

SPT I reached over and flipped the switch
there. What'd he say?
CC Is that the SPT?
SPT Right.
CC Okay Owen, we have cancelled all ATM
for the day, in order to get your ETC prep done. There
is nothing time critical about housekeeping all the 70 series
here so you can slide that as much as you want. We do have
a VTR malf that we'll be doing with you over Goldstone at
15:37. The procedures will come up real time. All you need
to do is get in the vicinity of the VTR at that pass and
we'll remind you about that, the pass prior to Goldstone.
SPT Roger, Story. Thank you.
CC And we're going LOS here. We'll pick you
up over Ascension.
PA0 This is Skylab Control. Skylab is out
of range of the Bermuda station. Ascension - Canaries will
pick up the spacecraft, a very short pass, in about two minutes.
It's a very low elevation angle, we may not get communications
but we will stay up and see. CAP COM Story Musgrave informed
the Science Pilot, Owen Garrlott on this pass that next
acquisition at Goldstone we will troubleshoot the video
tape recorder which malfunctioned a couple of days ago. Since
that time we've been restricted to the use of llve television.
We have not been able to vide,) tape on board and then dump
that tape. So, over Goldstone on this revolution we will
attempt to fix that video tape recorder. Crew Commander,
A1 Bean reporting over Bermuda that the crew is able to
work faster now than they have been, as they become better
adapted to their environment. Up to this point they haven't
had too much time to look out the window, he says. They've been
behind on the time lines in the flight plan and have been
kept pretty well busy. Canaries should acquire in - in a
- less than 30 seconds. We'll stand by and see if there's
any communication there.
CC Skylab, we have you AOS over Canary for
2 minutes.
CDR How's the weather out in Colorado for
those EREP sites today?
CC We'll get it for you.
CDR (garble) Hate to say that but we got a
sticker on board, a decal which nobody is really sure of what it
goes to. Let me read it a little bit to you and maybe somebody

not yet left the Mission Control Room. We expect that he
may be able to start the change of shift news conference
in about i0 minutes. We'll try to verify that. Stand by
please. Flight Director Lewis reports that he will be able
to make a 9:45 change of shift news conference in the JSC News
Briefing Room about 8 minutes from now. Change of news
conference in the JSC news briefing room with Flight Director Chuck
Lewis at 9:45 a.m. central daylight time. Wetll come hack up at
Honeysuckle - at Carnarvon, rather_ if that conference is over.
If not, we'll tape any communications there and play that for you
after the conference. At 14 hours 37 minutes Greenwich mean time,
this is Skylab Control.

7 minutes.
CDR Tape transfer complete.
CC Copy.
CC SPT, Houston.
SPT Go ahead.
CC Owen, for our VTR check over Goldstone
at 15:37, we need a TV camera on at any station and we'd
llke to verify here over Guam that you've got the TV on.
Could you turn any TV on?
SPT You mean just the station on without any
TV camera plugged in?
CC No, we need the TV camera plugged in.
Possibly that one down in the STS would he a good one to
turn on.
SPT Okay, we'll get one of them turned on in
in Just a moment. You don't need the one at the ATM panel,
apparently.
CC That's your option, Owen. We'll need it
on in the next 3 minutes if possible.
SPT Okay, and I've tried to find the setup for
that ETC prep, the DAC is apparently not located on F9, we're having to
get the DAC from some other locatlon. And I'ii get the
TV turned on.
CC Roger.
SPT Okay Story_ The TV's on.
CC Thanks.
SPT Got a recommended setting for viewing
the ATM panel?
CC Stand by io
CC Is that the TV 13 settings you wanted?
SPT Yeah, that will be okay. I'm Just trying
to put it somewhere so you can see. I notice the monitor
has a lot of interference on it at the moment.
CC Okay. You can point that at anything
you'd llke, AI° All we need is any picture at all. And
we're going LOS here in 30 seconds. We'll see you over
Goldstone at 15:37 and if Owen's got his ETC prep done at
that time, we will need him at the VTR panel at about 15:37.
SPT Okay. I'll not have the VTR prep done,
but I'll he at the panel.
CC And as we go over the hill here, if you
need a DAC, you can use DAC 7, 8, or 9, located in F527.
PAO This is Skylab Control at 15 hours
31 minutes Greenwich mean time. That's the end of the tape.
Goldstone will acquire Skylab in 5 minutes. We'll come back
up then. At 15 hours 32 minutes. This is Skylab Control.

Vanguard tracking ship will be the next station to acquire
Skylab in 9 minutes. Skylab will be nearing the end of
the Earth Resources pass at that time. The crew in the
midst of that pass had loss cf signal at Mile. They indicate
that they are picking up a number of their targets. We*ll
come back up just prior to Vanguard acquisition. At

need that 5th hour of EVA prep_ we can get that prior to going
to sleep, you'll go to sleep an hour late and we'll let you
sleep in an extra hour EVA day.
CDR That's a good approach. Thanks.
CC Okay, good. And plans for the EVA
are to deploy the twin-fold sunshade, then do the nominal
EVA I film replacement, remove a door stop on S055. At the
end of the film replacement deploy S149, and then perform
the $230 task. And also during the EVA, now you may want
to take a look at CSM quads Bravo and Delta.
CDR You are going to send us a lot of details
on some of those I guess.
CC Roger. We've got EVA procedures updates
for you. And hopefully, we'll get those up tonight.
CDR We've been kind of wondering on 55 if you
meant a pin or a stop.
CC That is a door stop. We think -
CDR Okay. We've got our Jack Lousma
here that is going to handle that job.
CC Did the other crewmen read me on that?
CDR Yes, everybody is read.
CC Okay.
CC SPT, Houston.
SPT Go ahead.
CC We need a star tracker lock on so we can
get our Nu Z updated for S019 ops. And we'd like it done
in the next I0 or 15 minutes.
SPT Okay, 1'11 be up there to do it in about
5 minutes if you are in no big hurry.
CC And before I let you get away, I've got
some other things for you here. Do you remember which eamer
that was, which DAC you had on (garble)?
SPT If it's still there, I'ii go check it
for you.
CC And in your Flight Plan today, Owen,
delete the ATM pass at 00:40, and perform housekeeping
60 Echo, that's ambient food transfers.
SPT Good decision.
CDR Where are we right now, over around BaJa
California?
CC That looks good, looking at the chart
up there.
CDR Thank you. Say is it conceivable that
we could have powered everything else through that connector
and not have it for the shaft motor?

CDR No where to hide, I thought of one time
of getting down in that a - T027 box and stay in there for
Just a little while, (garble).
CC Understand, with the urine separators, that's
where we got all of those at. (laugh) You could try the plenum
area.
CDR Okay.
CDR Two questions, Crip, have you figured out
why we thought it was hot yesterday and last night in here
and it doesn't seem that way today, other than psychological?
And second, have you'll looked into the possibility that S073
having a problem with the power plug?
CC Okay, we have looked into the S073 power
plug and we can find no correlation at all and I guess the answer
to your temperature question was no we can't find any any
reason to think that it was warm.
CC And for Jack or Owen, we're not really
sure where you are on the 131 run, but if your in the run we do
need the experiment i recorder on.
CDR They were between runs there, they had two
parts and they stopped and got out and fixed their dinner
and they are getting back on right now so they haven't started
taking data yet, and I'ii sure remind them.
CC Okay, thank you very much, AI.
CDR Okay.
CC And a - CDR, Houston, we apparently have
a little small problem with the star tracker, it looks like it's
locked onto the solar wing, we elther need you to reaquire
the star for us or to Just shut the shutter, and we're i minute
from LOS have you again at Vanguard at 00:i0.
CUR We'll Just shut the shutter, you have
got your update for day don't your - three of them for today.
CC We've got it.
CDR Okay, I'ii Just shut the shutter.
PAO This is Skylab Control, loss of signal
through the final - from the final Hawaii pass of the evening.
Next station in 23 minutes will be the tracking ship Vanguard,
and on this upcoming rev - we've begin to pick up the Ascension
Island tracking station and Guam Island station, so there will
be three stations per rev for the next two or three revolutions.
Vanguard in 22 minutes at 23:46 Greenwich mean time, Skylab

rt_asons for this we have PSM has a lot more propellant for
one thing and it gives us the advantage of isolating BMD
quads both electrically and propellant wise. Also we have
lower electrical redundances if we open and close the PSH
using the manifolds isolations valves.

we'll not call unless you want us to.

of signal through the tracking station in Guam Island and
apparently there is still some more discussions with
Vance B.and regarding the entry procedures using the two
quads and what possible assistance from the two - other
dl_abled quads. Brand having worked out the procedures in the
command module simulator in detail procedures are will be
teleprlnted up to the crew put Brand have discussed them

purge the fuel cells, l've got the heaters _ right now
and I'm going to go up and do housekeeping4, whatever it is.
After you've given the news or whatever you've got.
CC Okay.
CDR Nothing happened in the world, hull?
CC Well, not \cry much. I sort of- I did
have some news, which I hsven?t really had a chance to scan
myself, but - mainly because we had - we,re so busy on
air-to-ground tonight. I could run through a couple of items
if you're interested in listening to them.
CDR All right, unless you had something else,
we sure would.
CC Okay. Hey, we'd also be interested in
finding out whether Owen got around to that working on the
spiders tonight at all.
PLT Just about J minute ago and he took it
up there and he's going to release it from captivity.
CC Okeydoke. Very good. Do you know how
the mal went or - -
CDR Negative is the answer.
CC Okay. First item I have here says the
Skylab EREP pass over the Gulf of Mexico _morrow, with over
130 fishing boats in the pass area is drawing a lot of atten-
tion in the news today. A wire service estimates that there
will be at least 500 fishermen aboard the 130 boats. Spot
tile good areas for us, will you?
CDR Okay. We'll sure get them tomorrow.
CC Okay. It says the planet Venus, previously
thought to be smooth is said to be pock-marked with craters.
]'hat word came from the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena,
California. The radar mapping data was a complete surprise
to the JPL scientists who said that craters as large as
i00 miles wide were found. American B-52 bombers are still
supporting Cambodian troups. Communist forces have continued
to advance towards Nam i0 despite the U.S. air support.
The Italian government has declared war on pollution. The

the Hawaii station. Stand by.
CC Skylab, Houston through Hawaii, 6-1/2 minutes.
CDR Okay.
CC And CDR, Houston. We're still looking
at that last problem we had on the vent. If it - was the desiccant
inlet valve open, if it was that would have given us a path
all the way out which would account for the thing.
CDR The answer is yes. When I finished venting
and I repressed the little area behind the, there isn't any
experiment in there today, but there was yesterday for the
first time, and when I repressed it I didn't close the door.
I had the door partially trapped as it is for venting and
the press valve and the open valve are there so it not only
put air in there, but it put air out through the side of the
lock. That was it, no doubt about it.
CC Okay. That explains it then, AI. Thank
you very much. And we would like to get one other thing.
Another thing we've noticed during the night AI, is we've had
several indications of reservoir low on the primary A/M coolant
loop occurring just prior to sunrise as the reservoir cools
off outside. And I was wondering if you could verify at your
convenience on panel 203 whether you have the little peanut
like indicating reservoir low0 We show it's indicating low
now on our telemetry.
CDR We'll go take a look,
CDR The primary coolant loop reservoir low.
CC Roger, copy. The light is on.
CDR You bet.
CDR Do you all think it is low or think the lights -
the transitor down there has had a failure?
CC No, it's going on and off_ AI. We
think we are definitely getting the reservoir bottoming out.
But we're not quite sure whether we're really low on fluid or
whether it's just the system is cooling down in the n_ght pass.
We're at a real low Beta now, and it could be getting cold enough
on the outside there that just normal contraction of the fluid is
causing the reservoir to bottom out.
CDR Okey doke.
CC We'd like to watch it a little while
longer.
CC Skylab, Houston. Have you picked up your
teleprinter messages yet this morning?
CDR Sure have, Hank. We were just reading them.
CC Okay. Well we neglected to get our last
slew in here this morning, hut if you have already picked

them up, I'm sure that you got anything that might have been
tucked under the cover there. And I'd also like to tell you
that message 914 of the EREP C and D prep has a 7 llne space
in it. We got a paper advance in there inadvertently when
we got a reject, and that accounts for that.
CC And CDR, while you are looking at that
C and D pad for EREP number 3, you might note that we are
calling out for some switch throwing on the EREP downlink box
which is entered into the pad there as BWN.
CDR I'm glad you pointed that one out. That
would have thrown us.
CC And Skylab, we're about 45 seconds from
LOS. We'll be coming up on Coldstone at 35.

all eight legs flailing sort of wildly she bounced back and
forth between the back of tlte box and the front glass over
a half a dozen times until finally she bounced over to the

beyond tile range of Goldstone and too far north to be
acquired by either tile Texas or Merritt Island stations.
So Bermuda wi] I be the next station to pick up Skylab in
about 2-i/2 minutes. Just at loss of signal Science Pilot
Owen Carrlott reported he has removed Arabella, tile lady
spider, from the vial in which she traveled from the Earth
to Skylab and has placed her in the plexiglass cage in which
it is hoped that she will spin a web, that's one of the
