364 13 47 53 PLT PLT debriefing. The ATM pass started

at IB:02. Started out with the Wrong
ROLL and got two 82A exposures at - at
5400 instead of zero. I noticed that
Just before ground called, I had Just
turned the VTR ON. I was going to check
my infra - coronagraph during the ROLL,
And I had already set all m_ experlments
up for the i Bravo and went back to - So
I back to do the two 82A exposures at
that time and got all screwed up. I did -
I intentionally did the 52 and 56 over
again at the - the Stand by.

364 iB 48 44 PLT Yes, at the ROLL of zero. I had to go

back to a ROLL of zero. And I had
already - 5.5 was already - it was set up
for GRATING 3 SCAN and I was going to
give them a RASTER back at zero. And I
started it in 3 SCAN, and finally ended
up Just turning it off after fiddling
around with switches. I saw that I
wasn't going to have enought time to do
it. Okay. Then I went ahead and went
to - back at 5400afterthe two 82A expo-
sures at ROLL zero. Didn't see anything
P particularly exciting in - either - either
in the corona, nor on the disk. Next a
1 Bravo was completed as per pad except -
I did exactly what it said, on 54. I
assume that it stays - the shutter stays
open on that last frame, which means
that when you start the - hit the START
switch on the second - at the end of the
1Y minutes to close the shutter, you also
click off another three quick frames and
start another LONG EXPOSURE, I guess,
which doesn't stop until you hit the STOP
switch at the end of the orbit.

364 13 49 52 PLT VTR, I was - I got a little bit of WLC

in there with nothing on it right toward
the end, but at least I did get a few
seconds of WCL at 5400 ROLL. Got so

364 15 35 h7 SPT SPT at 15:26, Make that 15:36.

Debriefing t_e first dump 18D pad.
Maneuvering started at lh :16.
•.. maneuvers all went pretty well.
More of the fliffeulties, however.
Yesterday's _ork was that we did
not really have a - I think an
adequate enough time to prepare for
it. We had _ MII0 this morning
which means that I'm pretty much com-
mitted for a_most an hour and a half,
first thing _n the morning. And then
there is quite an extensive pad here
waiting for me for what the S05h folks
would like m_ to review a pad about
the length o_ m_ arm and there is Just
no way to do[it. So, I think we got a
little rushe_ in the first one and even
though we acpompllshed it there were a
few minor pa_ts along the way which were
not as good _s they could have been.
Okay at first the - on the location which
the comet wa_ put was minus 70 and plus 60.
It came out pretty much that ; unfortunately
that is Justl where the bar which runs though
the bright s_ot in the WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH
lays, so tha_ the comet was underneath this
bar and it was just barely visible. I had a -
knowing where you were trying to put it - I
had a hunch that that's probably where it
was and I could have meneuvered it at all.
But we ought to try to avoid that area in the
future.

36h 15 38 01 SPT The first one went pretty well; the first
building block thirty. However I think in
the calculations here there's not enough time
for the maneuvering to pick this thing up.
It's not as Straightforward - I have not
found the maneuvering logic or bias, as you
will, remain the same all the time.

36h 15 38 23 SPT And I have had to try to - to figure out

what it really was by making one test case
indefinite, 9ositioning it exactly where
I wanted it _nd then moving it in. That

364 15 38 54 SPT Okay, we st s_ted them off and we had the

problem with' the 82B door. I pressed on
anyways, seeing ... did get an operate light.
And did I not have a_y time to trouble shoot.
I did t_ke the exposures as specified. 55 we
got running; however, due to an oversight
and again hulrriedly reading the pad, I did
not notice they had chan_ed the GRATING
position one notch ... we did _et the NO
INTERLOCK al_hough that was a little bit late.

SPT Okay_ we sims-ted off 56 at 14:36 and our

exposure wel_t to 15:18. }{old on. I've
got the ATM conference now and I told you

CDR Thank you.

.J

/-- 36_ 15 50 i0 SFT SPT again, picking up on the debriefing

for the last 18D ATM pass. It's presently
15:51. Okay the exposures for 56 went from
14:36 to 15:18. 82B got their wavelength
short 5 seconds. Wavelengths is short i minute
short 6 minutes and then one long as
possible which went from 14:h3 to i_:18.
We had the door close problem Just ss we
started the maneuver out away from the comet
to then start a reacquisition so that the
door would - it was _yeling the power from
the ground. Stopped the inst_ents so we
had a period there of around i0 minutes
or I would _ess - I hope you could tell
from the tapes when the door wa_ closed.

364 15 51 04 SPT However, during that period of time we

were not close to the nucleus. We were
working trying to reaequire a_ain. 55 got
their AUTO BASTER 811 0676. - To start
off with, I neglecte_ to see that they had
changed that in the pad. It looked like the
line had printed twice so I did not notice
that the last n_mgoer had chauKed. So it
did not o. ° changed to 7-0677 till the ground
_. called. We did get at the very end a - a
GRATING AUTO SCAN no INTERLOCK. ... Okay
one _hi_g waS rather dis_olntin_.
 Dump Tape 364-04
Page 3 of 3

I made the compensation maneuvers and again

I put the compensation maneuvers in Y every
five minutes, rather in every ten minutes
which I figured to be the total of two extra
maneuvers. They should not have been in
there so it was actually 0.02 of a degree
off in Y. However, when I did get all
done and I planned to move it out, I wanted
to move it out to minus 120 in X. I m_de
the maneuver I thought that would - should
have done that and I ended up with minus llO
and minus i_, with an error of I0 in X and
lh in Y. So somewhere in there we 'we got
a - either there was a proeed%kral problem
on my part or motion compensatation does
not do the Job. I'm not sure which. It
was not obvious to me that I was doing au.v
of it wrong and it - were a few there except
for the - what I got all done and we re -
had time to reread the pad 811d find that the
motion compensation - I co - concluded
/-- wrong on it. As far as moving the canister
or moving the pointing, I thoug_ht it went
pretty well if - when ... acquisitions.
That is, I could pretty much put it where
I wanted it ... to dislay without compen-
sation except for a very small amount m_ybe
one percent in X. And there is a very small
misalignment and roll which I could compensate
for in Y, m_be one unit ... going over a
hundred units. And that was no problem.
So in general, the first one was not too
smooth in that we did not end up where I
thought we should have even though Bill
at one time was also tip here and he was
looking at that MIRROR AUTO RASTER and was
seeing some relatively high ceounts. So
maybe we were close to it, I'm not sure.
We'll take a look at this next one in detail.

36h 16 28 11 CDR This is the CDR at 16"27 Zulu
reporting Earth observations. The
first one is: observation of the
coast - line of Brazil near the
town of Salvador. I guess the
area of interest or the - the point
of interest in the photo - photograph
is an area in Slm glint in the
ocean, it looks like some sort of
upwelling or something, but there
is no indication of plankton. This
is very, bery dard, and it's a
difference in surface texture because
it is in Sun glint. There is no
indication anywhere in this area
of the - the plankton blooming or
the upwelling - the blooming that's
brought up by upwelling. However,
there are some diflnite indications
in the Sun glint of current slow there.
And this one little area off of a
/-_ little town Just slightly north of the
town of Salvador on the upper Brazilian
coast, is sort of a finger of dark
water and dark as compared to the rest
of the water ,iwhich was in the Sun
glint. I wo_ld estimate this, well,
heek, I don't know why I should estimate
it, you folks can see it - you %rlll be
able to see it better on the photograph.
But it's probably, oh 2 or 5 miles wide
and about i0 or 12 or 12 miles long.

364 16 51 CDR And it extended from north to south, and

the magazine is Charlie X-ray 52. This
was taken at 14:55 Zulu, and it's frame
number 65, and it was taken at f/ll in
the Hasselbl_d i00 at 1/250. And then
at 15 :iI_ as _e were coming up over
North Africa e_* over the Sahara I
noticed a .great - a great arc of what
at first I thought was a cirrus cloud.

364 16 29 38 It was very thin sort of yell and I

had a very sharp line of demarcation
 Dump Tape 364-05

fromclearto this cloud. And then

after a little bit of thought I
decided that maybe what I was
looking at was windblown dust or
sant from the Sahara. Now hold on
Just a minute, I'm going to get
the map and I'm going to describe
the arc on the map and then give
you a few points in latitude and
longitiude so that you can transfer
this arc to your map. It was a
hugh arc and I know it was very
interesting. I think it's dust
and the wind must have been blowing
from the south and southwest because
the blust -the dust carries out over
the water. So stand by and let me
get some maps points.

36h 16 30 59 CDR All right, put your first map point

at 28 degrees latitude and 22 degrees
longitude. Correction - No, that 's
13 degrees east longitude. In other
words, it's in algeria and it's
southeast of HH69. By the way this
_ is the directionin whichI took
the picture; I have not looked up
HH69but I usspectit'sprobably
dunes and this particular show - this
particular picture shows star dunes
and then beyond the star dunes is this
line of demarcation. So you have one
point now at 13 east longitude and
28 north latitude. All right. Start
your arc and make your next point

huge circular arc and to the north

clear. You'll be able to see in the

one thing we did notice all through
northern or central Algeria as
we were comdng up from Mauritania was
the striking linear pattern chains
or linearstreamsof dunes. You'd-

strings of reddish sand and in -
in the string of sand would be a
chain of dunes - transfer to the - to

chains were all parallel from northeast

with a couple of remarks about the
Falkland current. Earlier this morning
I had an opportunity to Just glance
out the window as we were coming
over South America and it was - let's
see - Let me stand by and I'll
figure the time for you.

36h 16 35 19 CDI_ Okay, the time was about l_:h5 Zulu as

we were on our trajectory, coming up
 Dump Tape 36h-O5

Just inland of the Golfo San Matias

and Bahia Blanca and between Montevideo
and Puerto Deseado, you could see
the Falkland current again very, very
plainly. The long light green,
almost flourescent looking light
green, serpentine current, moving
its way to the northeast. I found
another l_tch of red; I would
estimate the patch of red to be 15
to 20 miles wide and 25 to _O miles
in length and as in the previous
case, that I've seen afield [?], the
time before and this time, the red
was well within the - the plankton
blooming or the green that we could
see that characterized the current.
That is, it was surrounded, it was -
wa - I never did see the red adjacent
to the blue of the ocean. It was
always internal to t - the light
green of the current itself. And I
think that kind of helped support,
m_ybe, the idea of this red tide
_-_ thing that it's a plankton bloom or
decayed plankton axed a - the yellow -
the yellowish green, the very bright
green that surrounded this - this
red area that I could see was very,
very brilliant green. I would think
slightly more brilliant than the -
the normal green you could see that's
been characterized in the Falkland
current. There was only Just this
one l_t_h, sad this patch was located
Just off Golfo Ban Matias. And then
as we moved on up between Bahia Blanca
and Benos Aires I could see the area
where the fire had been in the Pampas.
It was pretty much under control and
out, but there's a rather large blackened
area there.

B6h 16 37 32 CDR I did not have a camera handy at the

time or I 'd probably should have taken
a picture of the bls2 - the fire
blackened area in the Pampa. I think
 Dump Tape 364-05
r Page 5 of 13

Ed got some good pictures of that

yesterday so maybe it would be just
a waste of film. I did, however,
notice that along the coastal area
between Bahia Blanca and Buenos Aires
the wheat - the wheat _rea that we
have looked at before. I looked over
some of the wheat patterns with the
binoculars and I do believe I see
more light green fields and the
overall general color, you know, from
just a quick look, is the tan and the
browns and the very dark green occasion-
ally. But when you begin to look at
it a little more closely with the
binoculars, I do feel that I can see
more light green coming in which
indicates they - they've got a crop
getting started or something getting
started down there.

364 16 38 25 CDR I notided this time , also, a scattering

..... of nice brilliant green fields, not
the very dark green indicating older
vegetation. This si newer, fresher,
vegetation and then also scattered
in about, I Gould see some areas
where there is so much lighter green,
where it's Just brandnew vegetation
coming in. So it apperas to me that
in the Bahia Blaaea to Buenos Aires
area near the coast where the wheat -
growing area is, it looks llke they're
starting a new crop.

364 21 37 58 CDR This is the CDR at 21:38 Zulu

debriefing the 20:40 Zulu ATM pass.
Did a JOP 06, step 2 twice building
twen - building block 28. On the
first one it all went according to
the schedule except that I shortened
the extent of standard 52 mode by
2 minutes in order to get the
WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH look time
and in order to get a - a poliroid
picture for today. The XUV MON, I
took a look at ; got a poliroid
picture of that it's very, very,
interesting looking. We have some
glow on the Just below, Just south
of the east limb - correction - the
west limb. WE have a very faint,
bright area coming around the east
limb. WE ahve one bright spot almost
exactly at the center - not very
W bright but Just brighter than the
rest, in the background. Also
another bright spot at 7 o'clock
from it at about 2/10 of a radius
out, a larger, brighter area at
50 percent of the radius out at
8 o'clock. And looking over at the
west limb I see a big, bright area
is at - at 3:30 and there's another
little bright area going over the
limb at 2 o'clock. The - doesn't
look like thare's too much action
at all. WHITE LIGHT CORONOGRAPH
picture I go_ shows nothing in the
way of interesZing streamers. The'
streamer on t_e east limb is very
broad based, very disfuse. It extends
out quite some distance. The streamer
area - the s_reamers coming out of
the left limb are very, very wide.
And very difuse. No - no really
well defined streamers or anything
like that. Then the next building
block 28 1 did went strictly according
 DumpTape36_-08 ..

At one minute to go I did the atmos-
pheric extension, J0P 07, step 2
and I had no problem with that. Got
52 done right this time. We were

364 23 25 34 SPT SPT at 23:26 debriefing the ATM

J0P 18 Delta, and the first one of
the afternoon session, Okay. It
all went pretty well. The first
slight difficulty encountered was
at the position vhlch, when we
meuvered - maneuvered to had the
comet inside of the region where I
could not see it. That is, there
was too much ... functioning 52 field
of view. I had to msmuever out the
plus Y axis at a total of 80 in octal
in order to see it. I suggest that
we try to maauever it so it always
outside of a fen - tenth in octal.
I - I checked to make zure we really
were going to be looking at the tall
at the locations called out, and
indeed we were, And it took a
little longer to verify all that
and get it -_get it maneuvered i
properly. I Just kind of wanted to
make wure we were looking at the
right thing.

36h 23 26 50 SPT So on the exposures, on the first,

we'll give it to you rather - before
... For 56 we got 37 minutes. We
got 37-1/2 minutes for 82B. And 52,
having a mlsunderstsmdlng on the
intent of that number C; a_parantly,
if you want to truncate at 6, that
means you want one at - one at zero,
one at 5, which would mean that you
wanted two a_d I gave you six. So

received essentially what was

requested there. The two MARs and -
the two series of MARs and a
GRATING SCAN, no interlocks.

364 23 27 h0 SPT In looking at the - I looked By eye,

not onto the light - light coronograph_
you could no longer see that fine
detain. Pretty much boiled down to
a central dot again, with Just very
barely being able to see the
direction of the tail. With my eye,
out the window now, I'm searching
with a pair of binoculars. We are
able to follow the - ... slight
changes in it. I think I've given
most of the discussion on the air-
to-ground and so has Jerry. One
thing - I would - I'm Just wondering
_ about it peoplehave been speculating
on behalf of the sunward spike is
really that ... We used the ..° tail
trying to swing around. That's a
possibility. I'd Just llke to
throw another one into the hopper.

36h 23 28 29 SPT I would anticipate that because of

the solar beating on the Sun side
of this a fair aw_unt of material
would vaporize and boil off. And
that material which is, I repeat,
the largest solar flux that is ...
normal to the sunlight should boll
off at a higher rate and also probably
with a higher escape velocity as
it comes off. Therefore it would
go out further. This would give yot%
a spike. It's a possibility. I'm
sure it's been thought of before,
but in looking at it that's what
comes into mind, and also the time
corollation.

364 23 29 15 aPT Now the fact that it's - Jerry said

it was ... I have not yet been able
f-
 Dump Tape 364-08
Page 8 of II

to detect that. Maybe I will when

I get ... enough to really see it.
I'll try that after we get finished
with this JOP 18D.

PLT Okay, it' s the PLT recording the

iniation of the 90 second WIDENED

CDR This is the CDR. 00:16 Zulu. The

subject is visual observations; tFe
sights that were assigned were _ll,
HHI08, and HHI26. We were ascending
up Just right almost exactly over
the Los Angeles Basin. Quite frankly,
I had some factors working that -_ae
it very difficult to get all the _te

F
p-
 Dump Tape 36h-08
Page i0 of ii

that I wanted to get. I guess it

was impossible to even try, but
I was lucky at BaJa trying to get
some good photos of BaJa, California.

365 O0 16 51 CDR And also, looking at the Los Angeles

Basin because that area is home for
me, trying to see the San Andreas
fault at the same time. And quite
frankly, I was like a dog in a
butcher shop. I didn't know which
way to turn. I had Bill with me,
the FLT with me, we had the Hasselblad
and the BOO-millimeter Nikon, and
we each took some pictures with both.

365 00 17 13 CDR I'm going to have him debrief his

separately. I think we could see
the San Andreas fault very, very
plainly. Therewas no doubtwhere
/ it was, I think. And I'm going to
need a couple more looks at
that area before I really feel
confident about that. I was unable
to see too much in the BaJa area.

365 00 17 32 CDR And I really - All I did was snap

off a couple of pictures and then
diverted my attention to the Los
Angeles/0range County area. The
pictures I took with the Hasselblad i00
and the frsmes that I took were
number 81 and 82 and 83 of Charlie
X-ray 52. These frames were taken
at 22:5h and 22:55 Zulu. 81 and 82
are HHIII, the northern end of
BaJa, California. They're not quite
overhead, they're more Just slightly
oblique. The Bun amgle is fairly
lOW.

365 00 18 i_ CDR We used - I guess the Sun an61e was

on the order of 30. Let me quickly
check my pad. And my pad said the
Sun angel was 20 sO I think maybe
f- we used the wrong f/stop. We used
/-

Dump Tape 364-08

Page ll of ll

f/16 and 1/250. We probably

should have used f/ll or maybe
even wider, but at any rate, those
three pictures were taken with the
Hasselblad by me, and then Bill's
got some to report later.

365 00 08 54 CDR The - the Nikon 300-millimeter lens

picture that I took were of the Los
Angeles Basin, I took that one at
22:55 and that was at an f/stop
5.6 for the 300-millimeter lens and
that was at 1/1000; 5.6, BOO, 1/lO00.

365 00 19 40 CDR Okay, the frame numbers on that

Nikon are frame number 50, number 49,
and number _8. Correction - correc-
tion. Thr frame numbers are frame
number _8, 47 and 46. The first
frame,numberh8, was taken at 22:55
and that's the Los Angeles Basin.
f I think essentially, what we included
was Los Angeles and Orange County
down - down to around Dana Point, I
believe.

365 00 20 16 CDR The next two pictures were 22:57

and they were of the Grna Canyon.
47 and 46, those were alos taken
at 5.6 and 1/lO00. We did not
get a chance to get a shot of
Phoenix. We could not locate
Phoenix very quickly. We did,
however, see Manier Crater. It was
very, very evident, but it was
disappearing under the - radio
docking fort and we did not get a
chance to get a picture of it, so
we certainly hope we get another
whack at that area. Mauier Crater
Jumped right up at us, we could see
it ...

the comet out so I could get a
look at it again. And I ended up
about 200ths off from where I
expected and I tried to take that
into account in maneuvering back in.
I think something general through
all of my maneuvering here I had
a feeling that it's not any good
to around 200 or so considering my
ability to consistently maneuver
this around down on - there is some
area most likely on top of that by

had to stop everything. My apologies to
all the folks whose frames I wasted,
hut you got the neat data sun-centered
at 9200 ROLL, ARC MINIWfE ROLL. I
got the ROLL set up properly and restarted
JOP - or building block IA, and that
went without problem.

365 02 53 19 CDR Then I did 1B, which was carried out

without problem. But because I was
a little hit late when I picked up
JOP h Alfa, step h, building block 28,
I was automatically in a position
where I couldn't give 82B its full
17 minutes. So 82]3, you got 15 minutes
and 20 seconds before hOOK, and then
I had to cut you off.

365 02 53 h7 CDR S056, you got 8 minutes on SINGLE

FRA3_ 1. And I shortchanged you
25 seconds on SINGLE FRAME 2 for
the same reason. 55, you got - you
Just barely got 3 RASTERS in, and that
worked out Just fine. And, other
than that, the pass went fairly -
fairly well. When it came downlink
time I was out on the limb, so I
gave you the H-ALPHA of what I hope
was Papa 59, prominence n,_l_er 59.
There was nothing at about 050 on the
limb. And I rolled up to about 0_0 and
still saw nothing, so I started down.
And I think about 070 or 075 is
where I found some nice prominences,
and I think that was what you were
r
 Dump Tape %5-02
Page 2 of 3

looking for. I found two very

large spikes sticking off the limb,
apparently from the rear, the back
side, and I had two big hunks of - of
material listing off from the
front side, Just in - in side the
limb a ways.

365 02 54 53 CDR So I picked the brigtest of the

three areas, and - or the four areas,
and that turned out to be the
whitest, latest spike of the back.
And that's the one I pointed at, and
that's the one you got your data on.
It - the DETECTOR 3 count got up
to 300 on it. And I laid the slit
pars/lel to the llmb, right - right
smack 81ong the base of the prominence,
Just a little bit out from the inner
H-ALPHA i limb. And that's were the
/ LYMAN Beta - you know I wasn't looking
at LYMAN Beta; I was looking at all
zips. That's were the DECTOR 3 return
was the alrgest. That's Just about
it. I took a few looks in Xi_ MON; was
singularly unimpressed by the lack
of colors and contrast in the disk.
Ir really - really wasn't much to
look at.

365 02 55 57 CDR The WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH - there

has definitely been a change since I
took the pictures %hls morning.
I talked about the esat limb, having
a very wide band of diffuse ar - area
there. And it was pretty much the
same tonight. All the - _II the streamers
and everything were in Just a wide
diffuse bsmd rather than a nice
streamer. But on the - on the western
limb: this morning I said you had a
very, very broad base - streamer that
came out into a point. And tonight
that streamer had ne - done some necking
down. It was not _ute as wide at the
_ base, and it seems to be Just a tad longer.
/- But that's about the only change I saw;
 ,d

D_np Tape 365-02

page 3 of 3

there really wasn't any great amount

of change. And, as I said before, all
of the JOPs, once I got over _5r
false start, went very well.

CDR How much VTR have we got, a full roll?

CC Press ahead, and we do have a full roll.

CDR Okay, and I'Ii call you Just as soon

as I'm through with the recorder.

CDR Okay, I'm going to go ahead and splurge

then, and get the tape recorder on early.
Okay, we should only be a minute or
so from the southern coast of South
America the west coast of Chile. And we
have the television cooking hear and
we're looking down at the Pacific Ocean.
We're hoping we're not going to have too
much cloud cover and miss our opportunity
to see the Humboldt Penu Current through the
fiord area.

365 13 59 38 CDR And there we go. Now we're looking on

donw toward the south, and you can
see some light greenish looking lakes down
there. And as I move up toward the
north, you can begin to see some long,
narrow lake j, but I'm afraid that might
my - my fears were not unfounded. We've -
we're going to miss our pictures of the
Humboldt-Peru Current as it passes through '
the fiord-like inland - or the island -
coastal islands of Chile. Cloud cover
is r_ght up to the land, and about all
we can see is the southernmost parts of
the Andes Mountains and some of the
long slender lakes that we see in there.

365 lh 00 32 CDR The wa we're going in orbital path, the

way you were looking in the TV right
now, is we're goingfeet firstalongour

now is panning to the north. See if I
can get our temperature sensor out of
the field of view there. But unfortunately
Dump Tape 365-0_
Page 4 of 6

we've missed our opportunity to see the

fiords and the Humboldt - Peruvioan
Current because of - because of cloud
cover. We're now crossing over the
Andes Mountains, and we're going to be
coming down into the - the pampas of
Argentina. And we'll come out over
the ocean, over the city of Bahia Blanca,
and we will be - -

365 14 O1 31 CDR All right, here we go. Let me move up here

and let you see the coast of Argentina,
right there. Now, let's start looking
for the Falkland Current. We're now
beginning to look down toward the south.
I think right there amongst those clouds
just off the - the inlet area there, you're
going to see a stain of green which is
part of the Falkland Current. It doesn't
show quite as clearly, and again it looks
like we've been had by the clouds. Now
as I look on further doom to the south
you can see the part of the Falkland
Current that I was looking at before.
right out in there in that hole in the
clouds, you see that light green stain
which is a cholrophyll blooming, the
plankton coming up. That's what we were
looking at earlier when we were donw
south looking to the north.

365 l_ 02 29 CDR Unfortunatelj, the cloud cover looks

like it may get to us here. But let
me show you a little bit of the Argentine
area, here. This landfall you see right
here is a is a very active wheat
producing area it looks like. I don't
know if you can have the resolution
on TV to see it, but there is a good
deal of checkerboarding down there which
indicates cultivated fields. The large
bay that we were looking at the Falkland
Current through there earlier was Bahia -
Bahia Sam Matias [sic]. Okay, now we're
 q

Du_ _al_._ 365-04

cueing up over the pampas area. And

down through the clouds you got -
I'm sure you won't be able to see it -
but down through the clouds is a lot of
checkerboarding. And we are Just south of
Buenos Aires, Just south of Buenos Aires.
Now you should be able to possibly see some
checkerboard/ng.

365 14 03 35 CDR All right, now as we move up and look a

little further ahead we - we come to
Montevideo and Bueno Aires at the mouth
of the Rio de la Plata River. All
right, now as we move out from this
mouth of the Rio de la Plata River is
where we should find the confluence of
.... the Falkland and the South Equatorial
Current, And I think if you look very
• carefully you might be able to see _ust
a little bit of color change right
down in this area right in here, where
my pencil is pointing. And that is the
area in which you get the confluence of these
two currents. I can see it fairly plainly.
It's not as bright today as it has been
in - in the past, but it's very definitely
there.

365 lh O_ 21 CDR Now we're coming up on a beautiful

example of it, as we move right over into
here. Let me get my pencil in the waly
again. Okay, right in there we have a mixture
of the two currents. We can see the
lighter green corn/rigup from the
F-!kland Current which is - in our - in -
in this particular case today, it's up
here which is South. Down here is North,
and you can see the darker blue, a rather
iridescent blue coming down from the
South Equslitorial Current. Those two
are mixing and are proceding on out to
the East, which is to the left on your
screen. Now there have been better days
for seeing it, but we can definitely see
that now, and that Just about covers it.

We're now well north of Mentevideo and

Buenos Aires, and I don't see any
further indications of the current,

365 14 05 33 CDR Let me show you a little hit of what

sunglint looks llke, I'm going to have
to stop down on my shutter a little
hit to keep from faking out things. But
now as we're coming up to the North
here we're in a sunglint area. That is,
where the - the roughness of the water
and the sun angle from the Sun reflects
the Sun back up to us and shows it - -
(Siren: Alarms and Excursions) as a
tight area - shows it very bright very tight.
And (siren) this sunglint is a beautiful

365 14 40 47 CDR This is the CDR at 14:41 Zulu with

report on Earth observations. The
pass this time - we came up over the
Niger River, the inland delta area and
then on up over central Algeria and the
san_ dune areas. So we'll start with the
first - first sitings which I made. They
were not scheduled, nor listed on our -
our schedule. However the Niger River Delta
are_ was quite clear and lake Faguibine
was - was very evident. So I grabbed the -
the Nikon with the 300 millimeter and tried
to get some good coverage of the entire
inland delta area with three or four and
l'm not sure which - three or four Nikon
frames. The frames that I took were on
Charlie X-ray 37 magazine. They were taken
at 14:22 and they were frame numbers 40, 39
and 38 and possibily 37. I lost count between
the two sites. The f-stop was 8 at - 300 milli-
meter lense, and it was 1/500. And I started
at the south end of the of the delta area
and moved to the north and the last picture
was over Lake Faguibine. This was really all
in preparation of the pass that came up on
the pad which was the dumes in the Algerian -
central Algerian and Tunutia-Tunisia area.
So I didn't take much time to really look
at the vegetation or anything around - around
these lakes. I Just smapped you off some
300 millimeter pictures. Now while l'm
thinking about it, we have the age-old
problem of handheld 300 millimeter and holding
it steady enough to get you good pictures.
We have a general message that came up on day
number 6 which limits the 135 millimeter
lens to indoor use - inside the workshop
use only. We have not questioned that, however
l'm beginning to wonder now why I could not
have used that 135 millimeter lens instead
of the 300 in order to take these handheld
photos that I wanted to get. I think we
would probably have less smear on them. I
hope I held them - the 300 steady enough
and got the pictures we wanted. But at
this time I was certainly wishing I had the
135. One question I do have here. Do we have
 ./

Dump Tape 365-05

Page 2 of 4

a - do we have a mechanical or hardware

problem that we can't use in the 135 or
cotLld we go ahead and use the 135 under the
same circumstances with which we use the
300 millimeter. Moving on to my net site
now, [sic] is the Algerian and dunes. These
are handheld site nmnber 68, number 69
and 70. Let's stand by a minute; I'll be
right back with you.

365 14 h5 13 CDR Okay, this is the CDR again continuing on

with the discussion of the - the Algerian
sand dunes. The first targets that we came
into - came into our site were the chains
of Star dunes in Algeria and - over the grea -
Gr_ud Erg Oriental/Region. Maybe that's
called Oriental. Anyway the - the chains
f-
are very evident. I think I mentioned them
yesterday in my discussion of this part of
the country and particularly when I was
talking about the dust storm that that we
thought we saw. The chains were qu_te evident
and I've got pictures of the chains, both
300 millimeter and Hasselblad I00. The
300 millimeter frames - the 300 millimeter
is either 37 or 36. I'm not sure which. I
thi:_k it's 36 but it'll be quite evident.
The ]_assablad frame that I took of the chain
dunes was number 94, The pictures were
centered kind of right of the area - right
in the center of the chain area. Okay the next
area was HH68. This is the individual star
d_mes of southeastern Algeria. I think I got
you some real good picutres again, both with
the - the Hasselblad 100 and with the Nikon 300.
The setting on the Hasselhlad is f/ll, 1/250;
the setting on the Nikon 300 was f/8 at 1/500.
The Hasselblad magazine is Charlle X-ray 52;
the Nikon X-ray - magazine is Charlie X-ray 37.
The star dunes picture I think was - stand
jus'; a minute.

365 lh 48 05 CDR Oks_T, the Hasselblad frame of these individual

star dunes was Hasselblad Charlie X-ray 52,
frame number 95. And the 500 - the 300 milli-
meter Nikon was number 35. Okay, then we
mowgd on to the area of the HH70.
 Dump Tape 365-05
Page B of h

365 14 _8 56 CDR Oks_t, HHT0 is the reticulate dunefield

in northeastern Algeria. I think it goes
on into Tunisia. And I got a Hasselblad i00,
frslne number 96. And I got a Nikon 300,
frame number 3_ and 33; got two of them.
I think I included the ridge boundary that
you shoe in you, example 76 from the Earth
photography. And the reticulate pattern
was quiet evident. This is the area where
these reticulate dunes were - this is pretty
much the area where the large sand storm or
whatever that was that I saw yesterday with the
great - with the very, very clear line of
demarcation. This is where that was located
and then swung out over the Mediterranean.
This is the CDR out.

of the day, building block l, JOP 6 went on
straight forward observing time. I looked
at _hat appeared to be a bright spot in the
XUV monitor, slightly left of Sun center.
When I looked at it in H-alpha, it looked
like a very small bipole. It's Just a
little - I could not see any - ... flux
but Just two - two at the ...

And there are brightings in H-alpha but
no flux. The teleprinter has Just come

for the time being, on the voice re-

365 16 15 19 SPT SPT at 16:15. First 18D, data take

time once again at 15:21. Building
block 30 went pretty well. First,
one 30 block problem, 30 ... with
the building block, the initial
pointing ended up at minus 100 and
plus 70, which was pretty close to
a significant value. I know it's a
good - good location to work. I
suggest that quadrant, the lower
right hand corner, is a good one for
visiablity. Started 56 at 26:35.
At around 16:10 they got a _3-mlnute
25-second exposure, 82B. I got the
exposures they requested in a LONG
WAVE LENGTH, 520, 126. And as long
as possible, which turned out to be
35 - 6 minutes 25 seconds. That
last exposure began at 15:34:25.
55 got 3 MIRROR AUTO RASTERS. And
52 received MSOS one, one advance,

f_

expc sure.

365 16 17 35 SPT Now, the question of maneuvering and

uncertainty involved. I can go
through all the numbers if you like,
but perhaps it would be best to Just
t_ke the conclusion. And that is
that I have _ initial pointing in.
I conclude I'll still be off around
2 in X, that is, ... shorts. That's
really ... close to minus 3 rather
than a minus 1. And in Y, that's
certainly more llke a plus 1 a minus 2.
The only way I can conclude this is
fron the maneuver I made at 25 minutes
re,tining. I put in a maneuver in to
maneuver exactly straight line out,
_way from the distance which T came
in the equal amount, and then looked
at the deviations, where I predicted
I would have been and where I actually
ended up, and then took that deviation
and divided it by two.

365 16 18 &3 SPT Now you can figure I got a new cor-
rection, there as long as I start at
the same place. Uh - uh I stand a
better chance. However, there's some
sloppiness in this control system.
There's got to be, because I'll m_ke -
I made another maneuver at a point,
making and using those controls -
those correction factors, and it lid
not work out in Y at all. That con-
cluded difference Y = X was pretty
good but Y - Y showed that that -
correction factor which I calculated
was too large. So maybe I was better-
maybe I was better off than I thought
the first time. I've got some
information ... Just going on drfit
rate_ here during the night period,
perhaps some of it's bound up in
there. I'm not sure_ but this is
beginning to look more like two or
three units in oet_Ll, as far as where
we're located. That's kind of sloppy
Dump Tape 365-06
Page 3 of 5

for pointing close to the nucleus.

365 16 19 55 SPT But I've been working at this for

a long time, and making it any finer
than that just seems to keep evading
me. I have a feeling that that Just
is the noise level of the system -

systems or - or some monitors ...

17:07 to 17:43, that's 36 minutes

I think we haA pretty good pointing
thi_ time at the nucleus. I ended
up using a - for the of first half,
I m_de only qorrections in Y and then
upon going i_ 8_1d coming back out
adain, I discovere_ wh_t we reall needed
were corrections in X and Y. I ha_l
done some ni_htside which showed that
X was pretty _s_ll. But again subsequent
ones confirmed that what were really
. usin_ - --what_e rea!]y needed was entry
.......... of one every ih minutes in and every
8 minutes in IX. I aimed it -
the same ... !over the nightside and
make one lar{3e UlXlate and when we came
into the day_ide, the ... was exactly
where we bad,left it at night. So l
feel confident of that that is a good
drift compensation factor. Meybe you
can figure once on the groUnd I should
take a ... m_tion into account, l'm
host sure what else goes into it other
th_n rate, ..., drift and but the
evidence is in front of my eyes and that's
the one I tend to believe.

365 19 14 20 SPT Okay, as I said, for the first part

of the building block I made a compensa

I went back out and took a look at

it, concluded I did need that small
amount in X, went back in and I
used the frontal compensation which
I've Just mentioned for both axes. We
were really out of the pointing there
for about 2 minutes. We were able
to do that relatively fast.

nucleus at minus 70 and plus 60 with
no moiton compensation. And that all went

that that affects the - the results.

365 19 35 39 PLT Okay. Okay, let's give you a few

more here. 38.562, 38.573, 38.577,
38.577, oh, let's throw that one out.
Let's do that again. I Jsut didn't -
Okay, that's a good one, 38.563 - four:

get on that. 20 degrees; let's see
what it looks like. Okay, Sirius, come
in ther, boy.

PLT Come on. This can't be that hard to

find. Let's see. The big problem is that
I'm holding the thing in my hand; the
strap's in the wrong angle for pointing
it. Ought tO have some way of subjectively
pointing at _he stars. One of the problems -
okay, that should be it.

I was going to try to get you five more
quick null biases. See if I can work
that in here. On old Sirius down there.
Okay.

365 19 58 29 CC Skylab, Houston. We're going to have a

it was. 000.31, 000.33, 000.33, 000.33,
000.28. And I t Isted it off the wrong

the other no bias real quick.

PLT Here's one on sirius.

CC Skyl b Houston, we'd like to note that your

description of the comet this morning ...

CDR Bill_ did you say something?

PLT Yeah, I gave them that description of the

electrical nature of the - the tail and
the fact that the - the brightening w_s
sort of graded - graded out from the
nucleus.

CDR Yeah, I thought we told them that yesterday.

PLT What 's that ?

%5 21 20 30 CC We had a drop out there in a keyhole and

I was Just saying that the change of struc-
ture this morning has got people very
excited and if could you possibly find
time today to record what you saw in
terms of the drawings for i_uture reference
we would very much appreciate it. The
sketches you sent down a couple of days
ago was highly usable.

CDR Okay, Karl.

FLT Probably what Ed was talking to him about ;

I don't - I don't htink what I told him
would excite him very much.

SPT Yes, I don't I don't _mow what it is either;

I don't know why they're so excited/
there hasn't been that much change in
structure. Say, Karl, ... clarification
on ... state the K ... recorded. We have
mixed up ... we'd like to make sur of ....

365 21 21 30 PLT Okay, now bias 00026, 00015 I think what

I think I mentioned, Ed, was the fact that
the light part is not all concentrated
right around the nuclus and the coma now.
It - as I was looking at it through the
binoculars it seemed to be sort _f graded
Dump Tape 365-10
Pa_e 3 of 22

and graded out into the tail, it doesn't

do - there's no fine demarcation at sll.
See I think - -

SPT - there's no longer a single ball?

PLT Well there - there is a definite grading

of the brightening from the coma out
into the tale. It - It doesn't - it's
not just a bright spot and then thoroughly
uniform brightness in the tale. I saw -
I'm not even sure I said this on the
bias by the way, but -

365 21 22 32 SPT That's what our sketch showed was that there
was a grading of ... all around the tai.

CDR I don't know what was so spectacular.

SPT I don't think we ever showed or told them

about the - before about how the - -

CDR ... corroborating what we said before and

I'm surprisedthey reallyJt_ped on it.

SFT Me too. Where - What - What small

dlffernece it is now though however is
the tail looks more like a flame, In other
words more concentrated toward the base.

365 21 25 07 PLT Okay, going on with no bias. 00026_ 00027,

00028, 00027, 00027, 00027, 00033, O002h,
2_, 00027, 00000 - hum_m doesn't look

factor on this. 00024, 00026 I don't know
how that odd read got in there. 00025,
00025, 00027, 00025, 00020, 00027, 00024.
PLT concluding the zero bias and temperature
reading. Let 's see.

FLT Where did my flashlight go? Temperature

reading is 81 degrees. So we got, let's see
another star pair there, that one was
Aldeberan and Rigel. So we got 3 star
pairs they ought to be pretty good for
a star's star start.

365 21 3_ 38 PLT PLT out.

PLT This is PLT st h7 - 2 Charlie. Time is

21:36, Day 2-5 Eval checklist. Voice
record the debriefing. Which is pre-
ferable, the floor ceiling orientation of
the OWS, or the open cylindrical _r_nge-
ment of the MDA/STS? In so far as the
experience in this endeavor I would say
that the 0WS floor/ceiling a!_rangement is
much preferable. But I think that has
to he modified with the fact by the fact
that I think the numbering and the
restraint provivision, the numbering
system in the restraint provisions of the
MDA/STS are very poor. So I think rather
then directing the contrast between a
physical arrangement floor/ceiling rather
that against versus cylindrical, we'll
_-_ have to bear in mind the fact that the
MDA/STS are very poorly numbered and
have pretty poor - poor foot restraints.

365 21 37 _3 PLT How do the tasks to be performed influence

your preference of orientation?

PLT The task definitely influences the per-

formance or preference of orientation,
mainly because of the way things turn. Take
for instance the crank handle on the STS
windows; it takes about 45 or 50 pounds of
force to move the crank, and you
definitely prefer an orientation for
that because there are no foot restraints
and there are no hand restraints and
also it's a knuckle - busting operation.

365 21 38 ll PLT So you naturally try to get in the right

position to do that with a minimum of physical
carnage to your hand. Also by looking out
the window you find yourself orienting -
orienting with the horizon or with a certain
angle in order to read a map properly or
in order to get the best angle. The T002
 Dump Tape 365-10
Page 5 of 22

which was a very good example. Where

I kept wanting to - I had to move
the sextant a certain way in order to -
get two starts in the sextant. The
vertical - the plane of symmetern, the
sextant that to pads through two stars.
If listening you have to move your head.

369 21 38 49 PLT Well the two stars weren't picked so at

then were perpendiculey to the floor of
the wardroom, so I had - it was a very
awkward posture, and I finally ended up
after I did that other two start I
picked two other - two other star pairs
that and did them to see if it was
influencing, adversily influencing. But
there's a casw where you need to do some-
thing oriented to a certain special
operation, in this case two stars, and
it was a conflict with the vivid arrange-
ment of the floor/ceilings in the wardroom.

365 21 39 20 PLT I think that there are a lot - if one

_ had to look very very closely it - it
was a task that had to b e performed
to see whether or not you have designed
a task to fit the floor or whether you
have to modify the physical - the
the physical arrangement to fit the
task. That is a very important point
and should not be taken lightly.

365 21 39 44 PLT It's a good question.

PLT How adequate are the restraints and

mobility aid throughout the orbital
assembly? Are more needed? Where?
Are some unnecessary? Which ones?
They're still not adequate around, I
mean I still trash all over the place.
At the film locker I don't have places
to stow paper. Again I get on this
thing of stowing small items in high
traffic areas.

365 21 40 07 PLT When you're doing a lot of work in the

film vault, or M509 or at the SAL, you
need beaucorys places to stick little
pieces of paper under clips and velcro
 Dump Tape 365-10
p- Page 6 of 22

patches and peg board, hold patterns

to stick stuff in and it is Just
completely underdeisgned and that - that
we Just need_ much much more of that
sort of thing.

365 21 h0 32 PLT Are more needed? Yet I again think one

has to look very carefully what you are
going to do but in any case you are going
to be handling papers and you are going
to be handling multiple pieces of hard
hardware of various sizes and one needs
and one needs a way to stow that stuff
tempoarily while you've working at it.
Particularly around the film vault,
caracas, film packs, cassette, filters,
ring sights, lens, batteries, photo -
you name it skotmle heads. We're always
cycling these things around the trans-
porters, the film cassettes, ...
transporters, taking them off and putting
them on, - putting them, in stowing and
taking them out and handling them and
/_ doing a five ball Juggling contest there,
in zerog.

365 21 hi i_ BPT It was Just - I _ould say that as far

as restraints from handling the equipment
that the orbital assembly is totally
inadequate. I don't think we - we were
smart enough - I - that is not meant to
be destructive criticism that is meant
to be a positive co,anent, Are more
needed? Obriously, yes, Well of course
the _A and STS I took apart the other
day, I think that both very very bad -
bad. I don't want to kick a dead horse.
Are - are some _mcess_my? I can't think
of any restraints that are uncessary,
you can let me talk about the ergometer.

365 21 hi h6 PLT We took the seat of, hut there were

other restraints were that were necessary.
The M131 chair is a good example of how
you can screw up a design on restraint :
the hilt didn't even hold you in there,
it didn't, it h_d to be modified and
still difficult to tie it down. And
f-
Dump Tape 365-10
Page 7 of 22

a_ain that was Just a casw of no one

in the world was smart enough to know
bow to put a - you know how to design
a belt, but again that is not meant to
be hyper critial of that piece of
equipment.

365 21 42 13 SPT When you lie down on that chair, the

same thing. An - Any time you have to
assume a certain posture, a sitting
posture you - you are in trouble and
you have to force to hold you there.
And I also have pointed this out that -
that in the John is the same way the tolit.
You know you need something to be sort of
chin high - we talked about that before.

365 21 42 38 PLT I think that the the people that have

flown on Skylab should b e in a eather
unique position to - to at lease describe
or assess requirements for a given task
in future designs. Right now I Just -
it's very difficult to state anything
other than very vague genneralprinciple
and when you go - if you have a place at
the workstation or if you have a high
traffic area for work you going to need
lots of restraints.

365 21 43 04 PLT You - you need general volume restraints

for all these small articles and you
need restraints for pieces of paper and
documents big thick checklists as well
as thin pieces of telepringer paper and
you also need restraints for your bod.
You need restraints items so that you
can work on them, that is velcro them
out in the open. You need the restraints
items Just for temporary stowage.

365 21 43 30 PLT I use a large bag with a plastic over-

lapping slit in the frontth so that you
can stick things in there and then reach
in there and get them out easy. It needs
to be transparent because if - if you
Just give me a bag I can reach in there -
item I want I throw it out and 15 other
things go along with it.
 Dump Tape 365-10
f_ Page 8 of 22

365 21 43 42 PLT I need to be able to reach in there and

visually nab the item I'm after. And
not pull a lot of other things out with
it. If I could that thing - that things
need talked after we get back on the
ground and I think these are excellent
questions. Number 3: How often have
environmental factors, wise, temp air
flow, ill,lm_uation, interfere with your
ability to perform a task?

365 21 44 08 PLT Well this is our problem always, Ed Gibson

is right down there now riding the ergo-
meter; I doubt if you can hear it on the
loop but I can it quite well -

CREW ...

PLT - - the ATM pumps are quite loud, the

mark exercise is loud, the pump - all
the pumps are loud, the rote syro's are
loud and some people are easily destracted
by noise others aren't, so I think he
oughtto at leastdirect- it's a
good question and Just because one
person does that noise doesn't bother
me, doesn't mean it may completely
discombobulate the next guy.

365 21 44 40 PLT Some peiple Just channel - channel

extremely differentl in their mind
and brain. Temperature hasn't really
been a problem to me although it
seems to bother me more in this
environment. You would think it
would be less because you - your skin
could evaporate quicker. But we
have trouble keeping fluid in our
bodies too.

%5 21 44 57 PLT Airflow - airflow bothers me a little

vit so I mean I want airflow in my
sleep compartment to keep me cool but
it also sort of stuffs me up a little
bit along toward the wake up time.

B65 21 45 09 PLT Iuumination: Interior reflection - side

reflections for looking out windows are

reallya problem. Now particularly

in
 Dump Tape 365-10
P_e 9 of 22

sighting - You get so much of these

sightings. Of course, we kill lights
and all that.

FLT Have any of these factors interfered

with your ability to sleep? The
temperature, to some degree I don't
think it's all that important at least
in m_ ease.

PLT h. What unique off-duty activities

have you - have - have you devised to
supplement those privided in the
ODAE kit? Oh, not much I sup - I don't
think. We haven't had time to do any.

365 21 45 50 PLT What recozsnendation do you have for

improving recreational fKeilitles and
equipment for future progr_m_? I
think we o_ght to have better tape
recorders. We ought to have the
ability - this is only for recreation -
We ought to have the ability to have
/_ television on board. And - and also
why can't - if we ever have a global
satellite system we ouF_ht to have some -
you know, you'd be able to tune in
commercial stations, raglo and television.
I like the head phones. I use them
while I'm riding the bicycle. We don't
have eno_@h really for our sleep
compartment because we would have to
keep moving them emo%ind. We have them
located out aro_d the - the workshop.
But I would llke to have some in the
sleep comp_a_tment. It's Just too much
trouble to move them right r_ow. The
w_y they have the time lines fixed
there's Just no way that you're going
to get too much done.

365 _I 26 33 PLT We do our reading while we're in the

LBNP or doing something else. In other
words, no. We have been able to read
but we have to sort of steal the time

f •
 Dump _ape 36_-10
Page lO of 22

to do it and we do it while we're

taking care of other scheduled activities
which don't require full attention. I
also read the book while I'm on the
tread mill. The tape recorder definitely
has to be better. As far as the
playing card I think you can forget that
kind of stuff because - of course -
maybe you shouldn't. NOw, I don't
want to go off half - cocked because
we Just haven't had time to do any-
thing. If you come uP with something
like a diffuser table, you know,
that would have that - the air flow
then you could play cards. The cards
would actually hold down very nicely on
there. At least the bottom card would,
I guess. The other cards would fly off
though, if you were putting a deck
on the table.

365 21 _7 23 PLT Okay, are such items an important

consideration for a mission the length
/_ of yours? I think they definitely are.
I think we've really enjoyed the tape
recorders even though they sre recorders
of sort of marginal quality. That has -
I mean they - they were - they were -
that's what they were - they were Just
inexpensive recorders. I think that
probably people would want books and I
think they would want the ability to
record easily. We can't record on
these recorders without having to hold
a button down the full time. I would
have - I was getting ready to modigy
a recorder to use for briefing during
M509 run.

365 21 h7 55 PLT I was going to get some batteries

out and put it in the - put it on
there and tape the thing on the M509 so
I mould give Bruce and ... a real
good debriefing as I was flying M509.

f •
 Dump Tape 365-10

Well, you've got to hold that cotton

picking button down on the tape recorder
the whole time. So I mean, obviously,
I can't do that. I guess I could tape
it down but that seems a little bit
extreme. That - that whole idea of
recreation there - I get more kick out
of looking out the window and having time
to look out the window than having good
optical equipment. I would say a good
set of gyro-stabilized binoculars would
be excellent. These that we have, they -
the innerpupilar - inner ocular adjust-
ment isn't narrow enough for my eyes,
so the gyro-stabilized binoculars have
a sort of a design defficlency in that
respect. I'd like to emphasize that
because I cna't imagine why they design
them that way. But I think gyro-stabilized
binoculars would really be great if
they were good ones. And I don't consider
the ones that we have satisfactory.

365 21 48 53 PLT In terms of your zero-g living and

working experiences during this
mission - Oh, by the way, on that
recreation thing, I think cameras and
a certain amount of dedicared film for
recreation purposes would be great. A
lot of times we see things we'd like
to take a picture of but we're sort of
reluctant to do it because it's sort
of a "Gee wiz" picture, you know? But
it would be nice to have that for your
own - or at least have it available to

365 21 h9 32 PLT In terms of your zero-g living - Oh,

another thing for recreation. I think
we definitely ought to have something
to eat of a pleasure nature. This
food experiment we got on this thing
is - I think, is highly detrimental
to morale as far as the recreation
and feeling good sort of thing, in
the sense that it does not provide
what I call pleasure food. Now
I'm a big candy eater _self.
Another guy might llke to eat peanuts.
I like peanuts too, but I mean he
might llke something else. I think
that we've really missed the boat on
this fllgjat by not putting on some
pleasure food llke candy bars or
whatever a gum likes. They - they -
they - we were - had a very strict
control over what we could eat and
perhaps there were very good - at
least they say there is a v_ry good
reason for this. I have no reason
F. to question it. I think that the
metabolic analysis has to be done,
but I think that you - if yon continue
this that you really t_ke s_ay
something that can provide a lot -
a lot of pleasure and at least relief -
temporary relief and relieve the mental
pressure - that sort of thing for a
person, and that is eat what you want
to. They have - you know, have lots
of sort of smack type things that
you eat when a person likes them.

365 21 50 44 PLT In terms of your zero-g living and

working experiences during this mission
what specific habitability improve-
ments would you recommend for the next
Skylab crew for future programs?
In terms of zero-g living and working
experiences during this mission, what
specific habitability - habitability
improvements would you reco_nd for
the next Skylab crew. Okay, let's
think about that for a minute.
 Dump Tape 365-10
s Page 13 of 22

365 21 51 08 PLT One of the big problems is hygiene

an_ washing. I would like to be
be able to stick m_ hands into an
autoclave of some kind and wash them
without having water - you know really
wash them down, without having water
fly over everything. The same thing
with my face. The razors aren't
very good. The - that wind-up razor
is - is useless as far as I'm concerned.
Jerry can use it, but I can't. The
habitability - I think that the food
is part of habitability and I've already
mentioned that in the previous question.
The - the restraints ma_e it a - the
lack of restraints have made it sort
of difficult to - to move around in
here. Working experience - what
specific habitability improvements
would you recommend for the next
Skylab crew for future programs.

365 21 52 02 PLT I'll think about that one for a

_ minutebut I thinkwe do need more
windows in the spacecraft. I think
they need to be larger or at least
domed out so you csm see more of the - of
the area. That has nothing particularly
to do with habitability.

365 21 52 lh PLT I think the - the universal - well that's

universal handle ; that' s camera
equipment. I'm looking around here.
Oh, the water system. Yes. That's
part of habitability. That - that's
really a crazy apparatus. The hardware
is all very poorly lettered and n_mbered
and identified. The nomenclature is
bad. It's nonexistent on a lot of
pieces and it's hard to find things
that you want. And when you switch
water tanks - one water - have to
switch from one water tank to the other -
it's no big deal. I Just don't think
a system ought to be that way. I
think that you ought - you ought to
have an innerconnect and that ought
to - well maybe - maybe we do want

f
 Dump TApe 365-10
f Page 14 of 22

it manual. Maybe we do want it to

sit this way so we don't have to worry
about remote control.

365 21 53 02 PLT Lighting - as far as I'm concerned,

lighting has been no problem. Com is
a problem. We have trouble using the
recorders. Right now I'm tying up the
recorder for quite a period of time and
and then Jerry is probably up there
waiting to debrief an ATM pass. I think
there ought to be a separate recorder
in each SIA or station, or whatever
it is.

365 21 53 22 PLT The SIA constitutes a habitability deficit

as far as I'm concerned. They're vet -
the - you're always screwing them up.
Habitability - by the way - I know one,
you know, philo - philosophical approach
to habitability is that there seems to
be - and I've heard other crews mention
this too - there seems to be a preferred
up and down orientation in volume. I
mean you get used to working them that
way.

365 21 53 47 PLT I mean we always walk across, or go

across the floor, upright .... I suppose
we go upside down occasionally; but
mainly people put themselves in a one-g
upright position to - to do tasks. And
I think that the MDA and the $TS may be -
this is one of the reasons that they
got in - in trouble - of course they
Just didn't make the numbers big enough
in a lot of cases. That's another thing,
too. There's no reason to make numerals
small like they are. I'm looking at
duct number 2 right no in the forward
compartment.

365 21 54 20 PLT And the duct 2 is very small letters.

It's - duct is in letters about a quarter
to 3/8 inch high. The number 2 is about
1 inch high. There's no reason - that

F
 Dump Tape 365-10
Page 15 of 22

is - that could Just as easily be i inch

high letters in duct or 2 inch high
letters in duct and a great big number 2,
about 3 or 4 inches high. I mean, why
penalize us by - by putting small
numerals on this so that we have trouble
seeing from a - not trouble seeing them
from distance; I can read them i0 feet
away - but you have to look in order to
find them. Now on pieces of hardware
around, I'm looking all the way across
to 505 and I could see it all - 20 feet
across on the - from the other side of
the workshop which is the water purifica-
tion. But there is no earthly reason
why that 505 shouldn't be great big
numbers and Just Jump right out at me.

B65 21 55 09 PLT We - I find it difficult to - to locate

some - locate items around here. And
as far as I'm concerned that is a
habitability problem. And, also, while
I 'm thinking about it, the sleep
restraints don't have nomenclature on
them.

365 21 55 21 PLT The outer blanket and the inner blanket

and all that stuff. All they have are
serial numbers on them. The water
system parts are the same way. This
is all part of habitability in that
it - has to do with finding thengs and
identifying them as a certain item in
question. And serial numbers are great,
but doggone, don't stop there. Give us
the working nomenclature on it too.
Another thing that is bad about habit-
ability is the fire sensors. The fire
sensor control panel has a number on it
and the fire sensor itself has a number
on it. And they're the same n_ber;
but this morning we had a fire alarm while
I was on the ergometer and it took me
2 or 3 minutes to find the cotton-picking
sensor associated with that panel.
f-
 Dump Tape 365-10
Page 16 of 22

365 21 56 03 PLT That panel was 619 or 691, or whatever

it was. I forget. And then I - I
knew I had to go find sensore 691, and
the doggone nomenclature was up on
the ceiling. Well, this is a habitability
problem in that it directly affects crew
safety, and there's no earthly reason
that that number shouldn't have been in
2-inch-high letters all the way on each
side of that fire sensor itself. But
it wasn't on the sensor; it has a Beta
booth, I know that. It ought to have
a great big arrow, too, showing which
way it 's looking.

365 21 56 33 PLT But it took me a while to find a sensor

and I made a mistake in interpreting
the direction in which it was looking
because the Beta booth had 2 cutouts
on them, and in order to be universally
applicable to the different sensor
locations, apparently - I guess that's
what it is.

365 21 57 h8 PLT But I misinterpreted the direction in

which the sensor was located because I
saw the cutout in the Beta boot and
interpreted that as a recess for that -
for the little eyeball in which - in
fact the eyeball was around on the other
side of the thing, 180 degrees out.
Okay, that's a habitability item and
we - the crew safety item could impact
habitability ought to be sort of, you
know, don't have to hunt and peck and
look and search and find in order to
find - and inter - to find information,
interpret information and - and interpret
the - the sensors ' output. Okay let 's
see. What specific hatitability
improvements - I'm going to thing about
that one some more because I know -
gosh, the things like traffic flow in
the head.

/-
.. a

Dump Tape 365-10

Page 17 of 22

365 21 5V 37 PLT A guy that's in the head right now,

shaving, completely block the entrance.
The other gu_ could go in there and
urinate if he wanted - you know there
would be no im - impact there. I think
we - we have a way to go as far as
architectural layout habitability. Traffic
flow through the alrlock - I've already
mentioned in - in a previous debriefing -
that theres too much traffic through that
airlock. Airlock ou6ht to be located
someplace else. At least if they're -
if they're going be located there it ought
to be bigger.

%5 21 58 08 PLT Okay, habitability - clothes haven't

been too much of a problem. It seems to
me we ought to have some kind of
washing machine on a future long - long
duration mission. It seems - I think
the way that - you could probably do
a study and find out there is s trade
off on the weight of a washing machine,
or at least have something to wash clothes.

365 21 58 25 PLT Of course that's loading on ever how

many pounds we have. That's for sc_ne
mission planner to work out, though.
That's not my - my purpose But it - it
is sort of an interesting thing at least
to point out. Another thing, too, by
the way, that's a habltahlility concern.
We've lost the SI_dD weights. I've lost
the medication. It Just drifts away.
You never see it again. Some of the
stuff _ust traditionally or periodically
shows up. You lose it, it always shows
up on a diffuser screen. You lose other
things and never see them again. I
think we're going to have to do - look
very, ver, very closely at future
spacecraft design as far as sealing off
volume is concerned. In other words,
say you - you specify that a certain
volume will he sealed off so that a_y-
thing larger than 2 millimeters in -
F
 Dump Tape 365-10
Page 18 of 22

in diameter will - will be held out

into the working volume and will be
visually accessible. Visually accessible
by the crew.

365 21 59 21 PLT In other words, you can go around and

look and find things and you can searc h
the spacecraft for an item and if you
can't find it, you figure, well, m-u,
that 's a real mystery. In other words
you should be able to find an item it
you lose it. And that - I think that's
a habitability problem to point out.
Okay, let's press on.

365 21 59 41 PLT Discuss both the benefical and the

detrimental effects of zero-g on the
following types of activities. Individual
work activities while restrained at a
specific work location. Okay, it you're
/_ restrained in zero-g, the only - the
only disadvantage of zero-g is the up-
right preference of the body posture.

365 21 59 58 PLT If you are hunching over an object,

like we do at the SAL a lot, that's
an awkward posture. Zero-g can work
against you as well as for you. It
tends to straighten you up, so if
your work posture is a crouched over
or bent over position at the waist,
then you're expending extra energy and
zero-g is hurting you. Handling and
transferring various sized equipment
items, small, medium, and large.
Apparently, the - the big help is that
you don't have to worry about lifting
against the one-g force field. And
the big problem, of course, is - is
moving from one place to another and
not being in something in the process.
Other than that, I don't think there's
a big problem and I think it's quite
easy to move things around in zero-g.
You Just have to look where you're

going.
 Dump Tape 365-10
Page 19 of 22

365 22 00 41 FLT Work activities requiring assistance

from another crewman. Not too - that
hasn't been too much of a problem. We
usually can pass things to each other
in zero-g quite handily. As far as
working together in zero-g at a specific
location, I don't know. Personal m_in-
tenance activities - personal hygiene,
donning/doffing garments. Well,
bending over to tie your shoes is a
big task,

365 22 Ol i0 FLT Putting the suit on for EVA is a big

task because anything that requires
you to bend over like that turns out
to be a - about 3 or 4 times, maybe
i0 times as hard, here in zero-g as
it is in one-g because, strange as it
may seem_ that one-g force field
pulling your head and shoulders and
torso down really is a big help. And
donning the suit we've found is
extremely difficult Just from the staud-
point of the - the difficulty of bending
over at the waist.

365 22 01 _0 PLT Waist management and clean up chores.

Again water spatter is a big problem
there. I've already mentioned having
lots of tissue or certain types of
blotting devices for handling the
problems that occur - peculiar problems
that occur in the waste management area.
But I think in future spaeeerafts you
ought to be able to have one place for
washing your hands and shaving and that
sort of thing, and another place for
going to the bathroom and taking care of
the bodily functions. It's - I think it's
preferable from a l%ygiene standpoint and
I think it's also preferable from a traffic
flow standpoint.

365 22 02 12 PLT I think that the - you ought to have a

place to wash your hands and a place
/- where you delicate and urinate, but you
.A

Dm_p Tape 365-10

Page 20 of 22

also ought to have a separate place

for shaving and taking care of routine
primping and cleaning up. Ccmblng hair
and washing - brushing your teeth and -
I personally don't like these little
dock kits too well. Now, Jerry likes
them and things they're great. I Just
think there's a better way of managing
them. Managing that - all those items.

365 22 02 hO PLT Locomotion in _nd through the various

OA compartments. That's no bit problem.
I _ust - we just have not had any
problem there at all and the only
thing that we have to worry about is
in the MDA we have the rate gyros ;
and there, agaln, this is not - not
enother kick against the MDA - but
if the - if the rate gyros are located
f-" in there and we have to be very, very
careful.

365 22 03 O0 FLT Windows are another thing that you

have to be careful for because you
Just get carried away with the ability
to move rapidly in zero-g.

365 22 03 07 PLT How satisfactory is the l_requency of

change of bedding, clothing, and towel/
washcloths? Okay, frequency of cha_ge
of be_dlng - I _ust think that we don't
need to change it as often as is specified.
Clothing - well, I would like to chs_ge
underwear every day. We don't have
enough. This is why I think maybe the
washing machine might help. Towel/
washcloths, we should have - I think
we ought to h_ve two towels - or,
excuse me - yes, well at least one towel
a day, preferably 2 and 2 to S washcloths
a day or a way to clean them, wash them.
So that's what I think about that. PLT

/-- 565 22 17 23 SPT SPT at 22:17. H_III, Agu_ Blanca fault.

Just a quick observation out the window
as we came across it around 2 or 3 minutes
 Dump Tape 365-10
Page 21 of 22

ago. The first thing that I saw was the

Gulf of California. I can see it very
plainly as it's drawn in the figure ...
trying to do it - Hold on.

365 22 18 01 SPT The figure is example 10-6 in our book.

And I can see it Just about as far
across as you have it drawn there,
that is maybe 3 quarters of the way
to the coastline. But then I lost it
for a bit, but then it seems to pick
up again but rather than being a - a
fault that looks like a river valley,
a - a fault which has been - which there
has been a fair amount of erosion that
cause it to - to be below the normal
level of the surface .... slopes you
see it as a series of almost a - a
knife edge sticking up.

365 22 18 46 SPT It then drops off again as you get

close to the coastline. Now it - between
the part where it appears like a naminal
fault or a classic fault, it would turn
surface. There's - looks like blowing
sand ... soil and then you pick up the
knife edge which I talked about and
then again it decreases into the silt
or blowing soil. It's all in one line
and it sure looks like it's all one
related feature. I could not see any
offsets. I was not looking for that
at the moment. I wanted to make sure
that I had the right area, and the right -
and the right linear, or straight line
relationship between the two features.
SPT out.

365 22 29 18 CDR This is the CDR at 22:29 Zulu, debriefing

the 21:40 ATM pass. It consisted of a
string of J0P 1 deltas. We did two
step l's and a step 4. The first step 1
was building block i0. I picked an area
where there was a pretty good fur around
the outside of the, you know, on the outer
F
 Du=p Tape 365-10
Page 22 of 22

part of the limb and I could see no

individual spicules but this was a
pretty nice clumpy area. And the roll
was minus 0087 and when I stepped the
end of 82B plus 6 off the upper limb
we had a - a up/down fine sensor pesitio_
of plus 1006. I ran the building block
without any problem, and then moved on
to the next ID step l, which is another
building block l0 and the only difference
I could see between the two is that we
changed the grating position from all
zips to 200.

365 22 30 28 CDR I ran that one without any problems and

then, with 27 minutes to go, the - we
did a J0P 1D step 4, which is a building
block 28.

f _ 365 22 30 39 CDR I moved the pointing down to an up/down

of plus 980 in order to make sure that
the minimar was getting the whole
spicule right from the inner limb all
the way out. That particular sequence
went with no problem whatsoever and
the - that Just about covers it. I
took a - a couple of peeks at the XUV
M0N and it's even more uninteresting than
it was yesterday. The east limb AR double
zero and all the rest of them are Just
about gone over the limb. There's a
little fuzz on the limb now and the
east limb has no brightness on it where
as there was some yesterday. There is a
bright spot Almost in the exact center of
the Sun. A small bright area, very small.
And it's been there all day and very stable.
And there Just really isn't too much to be
said about it.

365 22 31 44 CDR The white light coronagraph I took a

look at, and I see no - no change in
that since the picture that was taken this
morning. That should be about it. CDR

from there on. This morning I went

001 19 54 05 SPT Okay, we will try this _n. What

I want to do first is to make a
correction to a number which I had
in yesterS_y, when I was discussing
the perihelion. And then pick up
where, I belimve, I was cut off
yesterday in _he presentation. The
comet has Just gone through a rather
dynamic phase of its lifetime - stand
by.

001 20 0_ 06 SPT All right fo_ the first time I will

start this. Last time we Just had
our friendlywookpeckerstartaway
as I started. Okay, once again with
the VTR. One of these days. The
comet has _ust gone through one of
the most cynamic phases of its life-
time. It's Just passed in its closest
point to the Sun, we call the perihelion,
on December _Sth. And at that time
received a maximum amount of heating
from the Sum_ it would ever see.
And also the :tail was forced to swing
from one orientalion aroun to another
as the partidles from the wind -
particles free the Sun, which we call
the solar wi_d, pushed it around so
it ws_ alway_ trying' to faoe outward
from the Stm, Now it was moving along
at a pretty good cllp at this time.
It was moving at about _ quarter of
one million _iles an hour. At that
rate it woul_ be able to get to the
moon from th_ Earth in about 1 hour
rather than _mtomary 3 days it's
taken us in _he 11-,ar program. Then
it was relatively close to the Sun.

t
 Dump Tape 001-04
Page h of 8

It was about a little over 13 million

miles. Now we have seen a fairly
pronounced change during this period
of time. Andl I think we have recorded
a fair amountl of it in words, in sketches,
and certainly with the ATM data. Okay,
we'll break here now and go on in
and pick up the remainder of the
discussion on ithe ATM instruments.

001 19 58 20 SPT Perhaps one of the most useful

experiments -i instruments we have on
board to lear_ about come Kohoutek
is the XUV sl_t spectrograph, which
is a rather ibng title.

001 19 58 38 SPT What it does is to - look at a very

seal I segment of the comet and determine
what is the various colors of li@ht
emitted in the extreme ultraviolet
range. Of course, again these are
f- colors which you and I cannot see,
but which the! instrument can. Now,
what is so - _o particularily
good about this instrument is that
it is able ta resolve the colors
to a very fine detail. We call it
spectroresol_ion. It is able to
pick out one Mavelength from another
very accurately. But this allows
us to look a@ the signatures of
light put ou_ by the atom, each
atom putting ;out it's own particular
signature at _ given wavelength.
Maybe we can ido that now quite
accurately ankl thereby get a better
umderstandin_ of what the comet
composition _s. The XUV slit instrument
is controlle_ from this portion of
the panel. _nd another word perhaps -
it 's ,,hiike t_e previous instrt_ents
we've talked _about. It doesn't take
a picture of %he Sun. It only looks
at a very narrow slit. Helping
perhaps - reSgmbling the geometry
of that temple. It's - the one arc -

minute- Io_ which-is s 60th of

a degree in terms of what it sees.
And very much! narrower than that
direction of across that's about
1/30 of its length. So it sees a
very s_-_ i el_ment of space. Best
• .. it's usef_tl to us on the Sun an
we hope it will in resulting features
on the com_on_ We have snother
instrument on board which does
something of a solar nature. We
call it the scanning polychrometer [? ]
spectroheliommter. New all those
big words put_ together - they go
together with this instrument - and
let me try to explain it.

001 20 01 16 SPT It's a bit like the TV that We're

using right now.

001 20 01 21 SPT The TV takes a look at a picture,

one little s_l I element _ then traces
across, then _oves down another
row and traces across and in that
wind in tha_ way built up a picture.
Now this instrument does the same
thing. And i_'s able to do it - at
the extreme _travlolet wavelengths
and ultraviolet, mostly in the
ultraviolet; But it's also able to
do something else. It's also able
to cues [? ] the freauemcy by the
wavelengths i_ which it will
make those observations. It is also
sble to sit s_ill with a very seal1
el_nent of ep_ce and scan across all
of the wavele_ths that it is - has
at its dispos_l. So in that w_ we
can perform t_e functions. It has
six different! detectors, all worki_
at the same t_me, so they can build
up either si_ plct_res at the same
time or learn Ia little bit more about
the spectr_ _ith several detectors.
Like a TV c_ra it does not record
its information on film, but records it

f J
 Dump Tape 001-O_
Page 6 of 8

instantly on electronic data,

which can be sent down to the
ground rapidly. And in that way we
can analyze in one day and change ...
observing procedures the following
day. That's the most useful to us
observing the Sun. And we've hoped
it would be in observing the comet.
So far what it's told us is that the
strongest emission we see from the
comet is from a _ydrogen line; we
call it hydrogen Lyman - alfa, a
very pr_m_y_mission from hydrogen.
We expected tD see that. We have ._
not seen a great, you know any other
lines of strong emission. However,
we - we generalized that this instrument
was built for observing the Sun,
which is many, _any times stronger
in intensity _han the comet.

F 001 20 03 23 HPT Two other instruments that we have

on board, which we use to study the
Sun and lear_quite a hit about and
which we've _Arned now on to comet
Kohoutek, ar_ the X-ray instruments.

001 20 03 34 SPT The X-ray tel_graph, oh, excuse me,

the X-ray tel_scope, one-half portion
of the panel_ and the X-ray spectro-
heliograph, _nother big word, meaning
that this also gets a little bit of
information _bout the wavelengths
and X-raj's, As well as Just a
picture of t_e Sun in X-rays, and
in this case _rying for it to learn
something abdut the comet in X-rays.
Now we don't iexpect it - much emission
if at all in _he way of X-rays of
the comet, it's far too cold for
that. But there is an outside chance
that if we ha_e a major flare from
the gun, tha_ the X-ray from this
flsare will qause the comet to
fluoresce. By that we mean that
the high energy emission from the
Sun will sti_ulate the gas around
F
 Dump Tape 001-04
Page 7 of 8

the comet and in that way cause it

to emit radiation of a little bit
lower intensity and which ...
in the X-rays and tell us something
aobut its composition. Now, a-
an other thing we can learn fro_ X-rays
is absorption - absorption of X-rays
from stars behind the comet. Hopefully
there have bebn some X-ray sources
behind the comet and during very
long time exp0srues we will be able
to observe what the stars look like
as the comet's tall is in front of
it. And then at later times observe
what the stars are like when the
comet is not in front of it, and in
that way learn a little bit about
the composition of the material
in between. That is the composition
of material in the tial which has
absorpted the X-rays.

001 20 05 _7 SPT All in all the ATM has proved to be

a very versatile set of observing
instruments.

001 20 05 55 SPT We found that !Just because they

were built wish - with extreme
capabilities, weren't [?] able to
resolve very faint light, the white
light coronagraph. Weren't able to
resolve extremely fine detail in
terms of color wavelengths. The XUV
slit spectrograph and the XUV spectro-
graph giving Us a very good picture
of the comet in ultraviolet. And
perhaps the X_ ray instruments and
the scan spectrometer , as we call
it for short,' all of these instruments
combine t0get_er although, orginally
intended for _tudy does not - has
given us, we _eel, an excellent tool
for learning about the comet.

SPT Thank

001 21 03 54 SPT Okay, we're now down here in the

forward area of the upper workshop.
And l'd like to show you some of the
equipment and describe a little bit
about how it works. Now the main part
of it all is the articulated mirror
system. What we essentially have right
here on mY right-hand side is a hole in
the wsll, if you will, and a way of
putting instruments up against that hole
in the wall, which we have a door for on
the outside. We put instruments up
against that hole and we're able to take
observations of the outside. The door -
stand by. Why don't you Just chuck that.
I got asked a question and I got off my
train of thought.

CDR ... is the difference between the

mechanical and the ...

001 21 05 05 SPT Okay, I'll pick this up and try it again.

We're down here in the forward area of
the orbital workshop. And I'd like to
show you a little bit of the equipment,
that we're planning on using, and have
used, for observing the comet out of
the scientific airlock. Now, airloek
is - for us it's Just a term for a
hole which is put in the wall and
 Dump Tape 001_O5
Page 2 of 5

which we can put instruments up against

and use that hole to allow instruments
;_access to outside for observation. The
heart of the - most all of the observa-
tions I'll discuss right now is the
articulated mirror system. Without it
we'd be at a loss to really make a
large number of the observations we
have been able to do. Essentially
what it is, is a way in which we can
take observations of almost any point
over a hemisphere of the sky, or this
whole area which we can look out here,
without moving the spacecraft around.
We do that with a mirror system which
is inside, projected out. And then
this aim the mirror is able to reflect
light hack in. Now, for example_ if we
wanted to reflect light back from here,
we put the mirror at this _ngle. We're
able to rotate it all around, like so,
and we'reableto rotateit in this
direction also. In this way we're able
to make observations here and still have
the spacecraft in what we call a solar
inertial or still pointing at the Sun,
which we need for electrical power and
for the solar observations.

SFT The first instrument, which I think is

an excellent instrument for the types
of observations we've been making, is
the far ultraviolet electronographic
camera. And that 's this instrument
here. The real attribute of this is
that it can take pictures of what con-
ditions are in the ultraviolet at extremely
faint intensities. It's about 20 times
more intense or 20 times more sensitive
than the normal camera. It uses a high
energy source - high voltage, at least
20,000 volts. And when looking out of
the scientific airlock, it's got about
9 degrees of field-of-view that I can
see. And we've taken it out on the last
EVA, matter of fact our last two, and
f
 Dump Tape 001-05
Page 3 of 5

made some good observations with it EVA,

where it can see a much larger part of
the sky. We have a way of aligning what
we want to look at, if you will, pretty
much like a gun sight or - only this one
also allows us to see what the field-of-
view of the camera is. Very useful,
especially during the EVA. The large
hook you see on the side were ... easy
to restrain it is what we've used during
the EVA. It'll also hold it on to a
handrail. Our second piece of instrumen-
tation and the instrument for which the ...
system here was originally designed is
the ultraviolet spectrometer of spectro-
graph. They use it for - I guess I'll
give the proper name for it is really
UV Stellar Astronomy. And this is
the optical part of it which fits on
back here. And this is able to make
f observations in the ultraviolet of the
comet. Now, here again we're looking
for the occultation or absorption by
the ultraviolet light of the many
ultraviolet stars which this has already
measured. And in that way we hope to
learn something more about its
composition.

001 21 09 54 SPT Another ultraviolet camera which we

have and one which is provided through
the French Government and as an experi-
ment from one of the French laboratories
is this ultraviolet camera here, which is
much larger; it's a spectrograph. It's
able to take pictures in three different
band passes in the ultraviolet and in this
way study the comet in the same way that
we've mentioned several times before.
Another instrument we've taken outside
with us is the coronagraph, a contamina-
tion coronagraph is what it was originally
designed for. By that we mean a instru-
ment which is able to look squarely at
the Sun, blot out the Sun's image, and
look at the region around it or the
/_ corona or the atmosphere of the Sun.
 Dump Tape 001-05
Page 4 of 5

This instrument, which we have hooked up

in the back ... goes from here to here,
has, what we call, a much wider field-of-
view than the one on the ATM. And we
are also able to put many filters in
this instrument so that we could look
at very specific band pgtterns of light.
And again, as we've mentioned many times
that's an important aspect. That's the
name of the game, ... understand what
the light is coming from the comet and
thereby understand its c_mposition.
And where we put filters in is through
here. We have a host of these filters.
One is clear, which we can use for m_ing
observations iwith no filter and still
exclude the !ight from the portion which
holds it. And _e have three other
series of filters llke this, all with
different band p_sses, able to allow
light of different colors to pass
through. And one last one which is also
used out of the scientific airlock with
the mirror system is using horizon photo-
graphy, which is normally used to study
the horizon, the airglow around the Earth.
And that's been most useful also in con-
Junction with the mirror system and
understanding a little bit about the
comet in ultraviolet as well as in the
optical or in the visible range. All
told, we have a quite a full complement
of observing capabilities ou board Skylab.
And when we get back I'm sure there's
going to be lots of people, including
ourselves interesting [sic] and look at
the data and learn an awful lot more
about comet Kohoutek.

SPT Okay. Here you're able to see a closeup

of the far UV electronographic camera.
The sights which we've used for aiming
and - one thing I ought to - ought to
mention about this is the first this
was used in a space program was on
Apollo 16. And it was taken to the
Moon and directed back to Earth. Learned
a little bit more about the oxygen and
hydrogen whioh is in the upper atmosphere
of the Earth.i Here is a closeup of the
UV Stellar Astronomy experiment. And
like all of the - most of these experi-
ments I'm sure they appear to be Just
boxes to you. All of the action, of
course, is on the inside. To us they
appear like boxes too, but when we make
the observations there are certain
things we have to do in order to let
you use the best quality data possible.

GRATING there trying to get it in
zero. I was in the process of maneuvering
off the Sum; lost my zero ref. And
anyway, it screwed around so that I
didn't get the MIRROR AD_f0 RAST._R ...
in zero - excuse me, in MIRROR 3 [?]
raster. And, of course, I'& gotten
one. But anyway, i didn't get it. I
had a good sli@_Iment on the SLIT on the
followup. The - I was wanting to get
the WHITE LIGHT DISPLAY so I could
5uarantee I didn't have the SLIT on
to the disc. But I Was so far off that
I couldn't get the WHITE LIGHT DISPLAY
so I - I knew I was A11 right there.
But it took me a long time to figure
it out. Almost got me a little hit late
starting the step 4 again. An_, that
was campletely - well - went well. The
82 exposure went well. I got quite la/d
on the 5h for h0 minutes. I got about
39 minutes and 50 sec_ds, I think, on
it for that ,.. at K. And I got several
mini-MARs. There were nt_erous interrup-
tions during the pass so if it went a
little bit beyond the 13 line. But I
think, generally speaking, that you
probably got good information there and
the prominence itself was changing quite
m-_kedly during the orbit. There was
quite a lot of change in the shape and
form and - so there ou@ht to he some good
data there on the 55. I looked at
nothing else except the prominences and
that 's all I have.

me all messed up. Okay, Skylab _
is on dayligh; saving time_ it's
02:hl an_ I h_ve a debriefing on
the 01:30 D_ll ATMpass. We did
a JOP 6, step i, building block I.
No great pro1[emswith that. It
went as - as _l-n_ed. Whilst
looking thro_ all of myvarious
ways I have looking at the
Sun, I stumbl_d upon a new
active region that has apparently
" emerged since esterday. It's
apparently comAng on with a real
vengeance. _'s in the southern
hemisphere. _ne location I reported
on alr-to goumd was about 220
at .2. I took a look at it with
the XUVSLIT. i And we found two
sunspots, a _eading sunspot of,
oh, aobut i0 _rc seconds in dismeter
and a smalle_ following spot
probably around 5. They are
probably separated by something
like 30 arc meconds. The - the
white - the _erybright plage that
surroun@ed t_ese to,. snn_pots was
much like a _ a - a ring or an
-nnulus and _en between the
two Sun spot_ were three very prominent
arch filaments, very easily seen.

in dismeter. And the leading spot
is this - r= referring to that
spot on the w =-st side and the follGwlng
spot Ms the sm_11er one. The
brightest - c r the hottest point in
the plage was Just south of the
for - the fol)owing spot and the
counters ther_ on Oxygen VI got
to about 12 to 14 thousand on one ,..
occasion; averaged about I0000. I
was at a R0_of minus 5_00
at the time. iSo what I did, is I
located this _ottest spot and fired
off a PATROL _HOET and did a mlni-MAR _.'
w_th the slit i centered to the - a
M_R at sllt center. After the mini-MAR J
s_ line 13, I_started it over and
_I_ a _11 MA_ and this was at a

_" _ done, grohnd suggested that
•/_o a GRATING AUTO SCAN, which
_id. And _ also did an - a S082

';_n when I _inished all that up
had about 3 more minutes left so
_declded, wall, I'll Just kind of
let it all h_ng out and do a MIRROR

I took these of sand dunes to the east -
east of the Atlas Mountains in Algeria.
I saw a fairly good variety of them.
And I was - we were over the Atlas
Mountains at times so they were oblique
shots. Got individual st_r dunes, chain
du/_es - chains of star dunes, some
crescent dunes and I believe there
were a couple of others in there although
I mould not make out the inddvidus.l
characteristics and I was looking at
the Atlas Mountains at the same time
'/_ and also frum quite a distance. I got
a - so fairly good pictures of the
general area from an oblique view, but
not the really good straight down ones to
look at some of the dune features.

002 15 l& 18 SPT SPT at 15:15. Handheld photos. First

reporting a fire, a brush fire over
Australia which we had photographed
yesterday and I'll give you that infor-
mation. Was day 02 at - at 01:50; on
mag CX38; frame number 31; f/ll;
35 millimeter; 1/250. I used 35
because that's what we happened to have
on there au_L I didn't have time to
change anything.

002 15 I_ 5h SPT The fire itself had the smoke blowing

upwards to our track - gray smoke.
_ Fairly dense, I would say - it, I don't
recall now, maybe up to l0 miles ... and

downstream maybe a factor or two or three

more than that. I can see the fire from -
the fire front was four iso - four isolated
fronts, but very close to one another,
maybe a half mile or a mile apart. And
then further to my left is - we're looking
down it with our - facing our - the
direction of motion - with some other
fires further off to the left, which
combine with the major smoke plume but
was not - I could not see the front
very well .... Just the forward indi-
vidual fronts equally spaced a short
distance apart. They all looked identical.
It pretty much looked llke fingers, if

which indicated that the flow was
parallel to this direction which I'm
describing. To cloud streets and finally
getting up into really dense ctunulous

become a little thicker as they went

roughly the same point and then they
became a little thicker as they went

002 15 58 02 CDR This is the CDR at about 16:00 Zulu,

reporting Earth observations while on a
pass that was almost paralleling the
southern western coast of South America,
that is, the coast of Chile. We came in
over South America over the town of
Mollendo, Peru. But right there at the
elbow, or the bend in South America, below
the - the western hump in the vicinity of
the town of Arica, I noticed that in
/ Sun glint a - a great deal of - of good
current information and wave pattern
information in Sun glint.

002 15 58 46 CDR So I took a series of photographs on

f/ll and f/16 with the Hasselblad i00
on Charlie X-ray 52 magazine. The frame
numbers are 127 through 131 and for
the most part, I think this Just - the -
the value of these pictures is that they
show the - how the Htnnboldt Current comes
up from the South and - and gets turned
right there, and how you get some of the
eddies and swirls and things like that,
right there where the - the land makes a
sudden turn to the - from the - a
northerly heading to - a northwesterly
heading. And I thought it was pretty
interesting photograph, so I went ahead
and grabbed you five quick photos of
it at more than one f-stop so that we
might make sure that we have good eoveruge
of it.

002 15 59 39 CDR But this is the first time that l've

-_ seen any indications of anything like
the Humboldt Current. And so these
photos are now available for that. The -
 Dump Tape 002-03/D-h72
Page 5 of 5

there is very little cloud cover, and

I started taking the pictures Just
north of the mushroom, you might call
it, that sticks out where the town of
Anta - Antafagasta is located. And
the - the pictures start there and work
up until you get to Arica. Okay, and
the next subject is the plains of
Naszca, nearby. We had a good day for
that, but so far the PLT and I have not
been able to really locate Just exactly
where the Plains of Naszca are. And I'm
afraid that the visual observations catalog
is a little bit too vague on that.

002 16 00 33 CDR I wonder if you might teleprinter us

up some more precise location for that
Flain of Nsszca. I would suggest that
z you referenceit to the - the map book
that we have. And maybe we can do a
little better job of figuring out where
they are and possibly get some better
photos. But right now we've been ...
Just kind of photoing - photographing
the general area hoping that we might
pick up some of the markings on the
ground that have been referred to.
And we'd very much like to - to get a
good look at it, but unfortunately we
Just don'e know exactly where to look.
So if you would please send us up a
little more data on the Plains of Naszca.

Tango 17. And our first action

safely take _ minute off the time

awful easy, I think. Okay, we're coming up

So that's it for ROTATION. Now
for TILT they want 15.5. Okay,
that's in and locked. And our
mark is at 02. Now let's see,
I did that in - it's coming up
on 58 now. So I did that in a
minute and a half. I think if
you allowed 2 minutes between
observations that's probably
adequate under these circum-
stances, and this problem we
have with the ROTATION. I
don't think you should probably
allow less than 2 minutes.

002 22 58 24 CDR In fact, if you have time to

the first star field than in the

la - one's later on in the pass.
And the reason for that is that
a guy is more likely to get a
little messed up early in the
pass. So once he kind of gets
the swing or the rhythm of what
he's doing, he'll in a little
better shape to cope with -
with problems. So if you got
to cut down too much, do it at
the end. Don't do it at the

photography Earth observations.
We - let's see, at 22:20 even,
we came up over the southern
California coast. And from the
_ wardroom window we had the -
the site I0 , HHI08 to look at,
which was the San Andreas Fault.
Dump Tape 002-05
Page 5 of 6

We were able _to see from Point

Magoo - Point Magoo down to about
San Clemente. The rest of the
area was scattered to broken
clouds. And - I concentrated
again this time on photography.
I - I think I could very definitely
see the San Andreas Fault, what
length of it I could see. I was
looking for the Junction between
San Andreas Fault and the San
Jacinto Fault. But, I couldn't
catch that. Hopefully_ we'll
catch it on the next run.

002 23 06 03 CDR What I did though, was I took

some Nlkon 300-m_llimeter shots
and also some Hasselblad 100's.
The Nikons are magazine hi,tuber
CharlieX-ray38. It'stakenat
02:20. And the frame numbers
are 29, 27, 28, 26. They were
taken at 5.6 300-millimeter
lens at I/i000. Y considered
going down to _.5, opening the
stop up one more. The Sun
angle was 28, That was awful
close to 30. It's looked fairly
bright down there, so I decided
it'd throw it a little Kentucky
windage and leave the f-stop at
5.6. So you've got those 5
pictures taken at that - at that
f-stop. The Haseelblad 100's
that I took were taken at an
f-stop of f/ll, 1/250. It was
only one. It was frame number 132.
It was taken from about right
over Point Magoo pointing south,
and we picked up some of the
clouds down - down below. And
that pretty much I thought gave
the overview while the - the
Nikon 300 was used for the detail
work.

the island right next to it.

CDR Maul.

PLT One of Mall.

002 23 53 38 PLT Maul - Molochl and the other little

island - the four little islands I
tried to get are relatively cloud- free;
the big island had the mountains Rilauea
and Mauna Loa cloud-free; they're very
rare pictures as far as I'm concerned;
0ahu was pretty well sopped in.

PLT This is the PLT. The time is 01:12.

I'd like to describe the corona. I
usually forget it by the time the de-
briefing comes. Okay, we're roll
minus 5_00 and a prominence, good hel-
met streamer rather, at about 2 o'clock
position. Sort of garden variety. And
there's a fairly intersting line ...
several streamers on the east limb,
and there's a _fairly short boundary on
one of the streamers Just about 9
o'clock position, 270 degree point on
the Sun, which is really the only feat-
ure that really catches your eye, and

it - it can be - sort of it's a very

i sharp demarcation as opposed to the
more or less common diffuse boundary
of the streamer.

003 O1 3_ 35 SPT What I'd like to show you here is a

closeup picture which is the first evi-
dence we had that the comet Kohoutek
had a Sunward spike. The picture was
taken - it's a Polaroid picture - which
was made off the white light coronagraph
display. And although it - It's ...
is very faint, the features that we'll
talk about - are - evidence at least on
the photograph and I hope that they are
on your TV. The first feature, one
which was perhaps maybe the most easily
noted one , of course, it's the bright
dot right in the center and that's the
C om_ °

003 01 35 21 SPT The second feature is Just the very

start of a tall which you see right here
on the rlghthand side, again it's a very
faint but I believe discernible, and
lastly, the Sunward spike which comes
in from the lower left, maybe 30 ° below
the horizontal. We were able to see this
feature. This is perhaps one best pic-
ture. We were able to see this feature
for three different times or so of the -
during the time period which we were
observing it on the white light corona-
graph TV display. Most of the time Just
a very bright dot representing the
coma is the evidence to it, but thls
gave us a tip before we went EVA, that
we might see a Sunward spike and kept us
looking for it.

Bill, we need a frame.

PLT I'm getting hh5 and give me about 30

more seconds on the recorder before you
take it.

CC OOkay, you've got it.

003 01 h7 02 PLT Okay, and instead of doing the - I did

put an extra - GRATING AUTO SCAN on step
JOP h Alpha, step B, and I did not
quite complete the MIRROR AUTO RASTER on
the instru__men_because I came up on a
shopping list I. One is showed over to
Suncenter and I was a good bit - I started
about 4 minutes to go, so 56 probably
got some polluted data there as it went
into hOOK.
