O0 29 29 PLT Well, she's still going, Pete. The lights went out,
good. Now it's going to billow in and cycle. Let's
let it settle down.

00 45 20 CDR I don't hear any shouts of Joy.

PLT Well, it was interesting. You raised it up all

right, and - I am - we can - you can see the tips
of both the back rods now, but the configuration of
it didn't really change at all. It looks as if pull-
ing it around and pulling it in might work, and it's
a small chance, I guess.

CDR Okay. Why don't you put some more - well, turn the
ECR on the way in and give it a few more shots of
that. I'll -

PLT Yes.

O0 51 36 PLT Yes, that helped a little bit, Pete, but you're right
it ought to rotate about 15 degrees clockwise.

00 52 03 PLT Okay. It's still moving around a little bit. Just

let it sit there.

CDR I'm not sure I didn't feel the rod unscrew a little.

PLT Well, it could be. Looks like you turned it awful

fast. We can always give her a ... 360 one way or
the other. See if you can shake it a little bit.

CDR Okay. How far does it turn?

PLT It turns Just right. It's lined right up, now.

CDR Is it doing anything for it?

00 53 33 PLT Yes, it's doing a little bit, but I think you're

right. I think one of those sections is loose.

CDR Is it locked?

O0 53 41 FLT No. I think it looks like one of them is rotating

a little hit. It looks like one of the rods might
be loose a little hit. You think you - did think
you felt one unscrew?

CDR Yes. I've got it locked in there now. Is it still

rotating?

00 53 53 PLT No, but while you were shaking it up and down, it

rotated off a little bit one way and then came back,
unless you happened to twist it a little while you
were shaking it.

smoothed the ..., it's all right.

PLT Well, shake it some more.

00 5h 06 CDR That seem to do good?

_3R Little by little, the folds are falling out of the

bad part, which is - I - what I think is doing it.
Now, pull it back into the mark, why don't you, and
shake it a little from there?

00 55 21 PLT Now, have you rotated it at all any time?

CDR If I said anything, I'd say I rotated it back to

where it was originally.

PLT That's right. That's about where it is now. I

tell you, every little shake Just shakes it a little
looser at the back end, Pete, where that material is

It's hard to estimate, but it's a plus Y or plus X
rotation. We are not going to touch it this time;

18 41 24 PLT ...

18 52 12 PLT Tape recorder, this is the PLT answering the

questions that were sent up yesterday on the
teleprinter regarding the SEVA. Question 1 on trying
to cut the strap. No, I did not cut the strap,
because I felt we did not have the right tools on
board to do it with. The strap was down very tight
against the beam fairing. Next question: Can you
get to the strap under the beam fair - under the SAS
or beam fairing? Let me explain further to you what
it is or - what it appears to be. There is a section
of meteoroid shield which is directly under the beam
fairing, and this is then bolted through the - what
we saw at Huntsville as kind of a standard method
on the meteoroid shield of the shield sheet being
advanced to angle and the angle's then bolted
together_ And this is one of those joint lines that
ran longitudinally the length of the meteoroid shield,
parallel to and Just outboard of the beam fairing.
So it doesn't go under the SAS or under the beam
fairing. The next question is, Could I get the two-
pronged tool under the strap? Yes, sir, I could.
As a matter of fact, we almost left it there.
Because that goes with the next question - I did
push in on the beam, got the two-pronged tool
between the beam and the strap and then had one devil
of a time trying to get it back out.

18 53 48 PLT Question 5 is, Yes, sir, the strap is definitely dug

into the beam fairing. What it looks like to me is,
it is really wrapped tight right up against it, and
if there are any protruding bolt heads or - bolt
threads, they are right down into that beam fairing.
It's almost like it was put on there. I really - I
almost find it hard to believe it's on there so
tight. Number 6 is the specific origin of the strap
(chuckle) we just talked about - I think. Any more
questions give me a call. On - number 7 on observing
deflection, I d_d _ot observe any. However, the
f Comm_ider,watching out his window, said that the
end of the beam fairing, when I first pulled on it
using the shepherd hook, he estimates deflected about
a foot. Now I pulled it towards me; it deflected.
I also moved the whole workshop, surprisingly, at
which point the TACS squirted at us and started to
move back. And, as a matter of fact, the workshop
 Dump Tape 147-0012
Time: 18:41:24 to 19:33:15
Page 2 of 2

was pulling the command module for a short while

there. Anyway, any deflection which was put on has
gone back out and there is no permanent deformation.
Question number 8, there is no sheet metal attached
to this angle strap outboard of the beam fairing.
Of course, there is underneath. The entire section
of meteoroid shield which lay under the beam fairing
at launch is still there.

18 55 27 PLT And question 9, the last - -

19 20 31 SPT Hello, friendly tape recorder. This is the SPT doing

temperatures. The ambient thermometer in wardroom 4,
749 Bravo, reads 103 degrees.

19 26 05 SPT Hey, Pete, the temperature indicator down here is off

00 26 47 SPT Hello, tape recorder. This is the SPT. I'm

going to resume and repeat and correct the CSM food
log for days 1 and 2. We've given you the informa-
tion in this procedure and I'm sure M071 people are
most anxious to find out what is really going on.
So I'm going to go over the CSM menu, day by day,
and fill in the blanks. Day l, for the CDR, he ate
everything. He had 16 shots, that is 8 ounces of
water. He had no medication. No Delta H20 , no
salt packages. And we had no supplements on that
day. The SPT ate all his food, 15 shots of water,
one SCOP/DEX as previously recorded - reported. No
Delta H20 and no salt. The PLT ate everything on
day 1 except 1/3 of the asparagus and the bread.
And meal Charlie: he had 16 shots of water. And
one application of Afrin for nasal congestion.
_ There was no Delta H20, and no salt packs. Okay,
on day 2 for the Commander, the only foods that
were eliminated were the asparagus and the peanuts.
He had 32 shots of water, and two applications of
Afrin, in the medication. No Delta H20. No salt
packs. And we did not take our supplements on
day 2. The SPT did not consume one coffee, one
biscuit and one lemon pudding. The PLT did not con-
sume peach ambrosia, macaroni, bread, butterscotch
pudding, apricots, or coffee. He had 38 shots
of water. No medication. The SPT, to go back,
excuse me, had six shots of water and no medica-
tion. And the rest of the log is blank.

00 29 38 SPT On day 3, so far, to start with, we took our

medication - or supplements for day 2 and day 3
on the morning of day 3. The CDR took two
magnesium, two calcium. The SPT took one mag-
nesium and one calcium. The PLT took one mag-
nesium. This did not account for items ... were
nominal supplements.

00 30 07 SPT So far, the CDR has eaten everything in the

first two meals except the corn - which was
a bag failure. The bag failed at its seam
.f
prior to being rehydrated. Got corn powdered all
over everything. The SPT has not had his biscuit
and Jam or his peach pudding. He intends to eat
at least the peaches and the rest as he gets to it.
However, the SPT will probably not get to his
apricots tonight nor his butter cookies. The PLT
J

Dump Tape i_8-001

Time: 00:26:47 to 00:30:07
Page 2 of 2

only had half of his bread for breakfast. And has

yet to eat his vanilla wafers or his lemon pudding
from lunch. And we're going to be vague on this
probably by evening report because the days are
running so late. We won't give you the water and
the salt or delta H20 until the evening report.
And that's it.

pass to them. Tonight we dug out the personal hygiene
kit spares container and found that every tube of
Keri hand cream in there had ruptured. I don't know
why. It must have been a combination of the tempera-
ture and the pressure, because the ones that were
stowed in our individual hygiene kits in the waste
management compartment are intact. Also, about two-
thirds of the toothpaste, which is stowed - which is
all the toothpaste on board - which is stowed in the
overage kit, as it were, has burst. And some of it
h_s been cooked to the point where it is very, very
thick and unusable anymore, although some of it still
is usable. And it appears that that w_ll be a re-
supply problem for the next mission.

that day.

15 09 01 CDR Okay, making a poll of the crewmen, nobody used any

mineral supplement out of the command module, other
than that normally called for during the meal. And
no extra salt was used by any of the three crewmen.
Question number h: during ...... transfer A, any ...
The answer to that question was no; B, any smells
detected? The answer to that question is no. And we
haven't tried to dispose of any food. Question number
5: what was the iodine concentration parts per million
when water was sampled at the wardroom food table -
at the end of the wardroom purge? The answer to that
is, it was somewhere between 3 and 4 parts per million,
closer to h, so we estimated 3.8 parts per million.

18 05 21 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on phototrip. This is infor-

matlon for the photo people. Apparently had a trans-
porter failure on transporter 01, which I was using
instead of 02, to load the film trim on 92 - M171.
I was also using supply reel Charlie India01 and
takeup reel Mike Tango01. And we had three consec-
utive failure jam_ in the transporting using that
combination. I then switched both transporter and
supply reel; transporter to 03, and supply reel to
Charlie India02. And then I didn't get a Jam in the
transporter, but the takeup reel failed to take up.
So I switched the takeup reel to Mike Tango02, and
everything works fine. So the situation now is that
we have transporter 02 with supply CI02 and takeup
MT02 ready for M151. Transporter 01 is in the locker
slot where I got 03 out of and it's red-taped. Supply
reel MT01 is going to go back where it was - came
from red-taped. I don't know what's wrong with it.
And supply reel 01, Charlie India01, if we find it,
it slipped off the velcro and is gone; if we find it,
I'm going to put it back, and we'll give it another
try before we declare it failed. Can't say anything
in detail about the jam_, except that they were in
the transporter, and film was either not getting
through at all to the takeup reel, or getting through
in a very bent-up and damaged condition.

loop filter, and the outlet ... stuck on when I
took off - (laughter) when I was changing the
filter, so I lost _ or 5 ounces of fluid out of it
before I could get it back on the - connected ...

12 38 53 SPT Okay, B channel, this is the SPT on the MII0 blood

letting excercise. The serial numbers are as follows:
for the CDR, his ASP is 153; his vial 006; the SPT,
ASP 148, vial 004; the PLT, ASP 165, vial 011 ....
procedure, the major problem so far is that one of the
ASPs didn't take a good vacuum. It was the SPT's
ASP that was the last one used, and only about half
the blood went into it. I had to draw on myself,
again, using a freshly sucked down ASP, and that worked
fine. I recommend that from now on, and the way we're
going to do it, is that I will put the ASP, unaspered,
a couple of minutes before the draw. Leave it there,
and take it off Just in time to receive the blood.
That way we'll be sure we have a fresh vacuum and
no leakage, and then we don't have to do it twice.
... the general comment is that there are an awful
-f- lot of loose pieces, and the IBCS kit itself will
not stay closed, will not stay down on the table;
won't stay together at all because the material is
so stiff. And the Velcro, there is a lot of it, but
none of it holds. It's lousy stuff.

PLT Okay, B channel. Just had an accident with an in-

stant breakfast. There was a lot of air in the con-
tainer before reconstitution, and there was quite a
bit of instant breakfast powden leaking out the top
before reconstitution. On reconstitution, it wouldn't
accept 6 ounces of water because there was too much
air in it. And consequently, the water leaked out
around the nozzle.

CDR Darnl

PLT In general, if you put less than the specified amount

of fluid in, and don't get too much air in the water,
and hold your finger over the nozzle while you're
shaking it, you do better.

to the - Whoever's configured to that. Get this
thing out to record. The first day's sample on the
sample bags are logged as day 145. The second day's
/- sample, which is the day they were collected, is
logged as day 146. The third day's sample was logged
when they were sampled. So, that picks up tod%v with
day 148. Therefore, on the sample bags, day 147 Js
missing.

13 27 20 CDR Good morning, friendly tape recorder. The PRD read-

ings of day 148 are as follows: for the CDR, 44011;
for the SPT, 18011; for the PLT 06018. End of mes-
sage.

13 50 06 SPT Hello, B channel. Let me finish Mll0. The centri-

fuge worked okay. All the plasma samples are clear;
however, two of them, the CDR's and the PLT's, had
large bubbles of gas in them. And I suspect this
is the same problem that the ASPER, after it evac-
uated, is leaking back rather rapidly; and, that
those two had more air in it. The procedure I dis-
cussed previously for evacuating the ASPER will take
care of that. A glance at the specimens seemed to
show that the SPT's hem_tocrit is lower that the
other two. This may be a crude index of hydration,
and I'd like you guys to figure out something we _
talked about a long time ago and never did anything
about. And that is, the crew hematocrit index,
based on the level of the separation between cells
and plasma on the outside of the ASP.

set sequence 1/26/9929, 2.69917, 2.69924, 2.69923,

2.69948, 2.69958, 2.69956. Remarks: It was noted
that the right thumbscrew that holds the calibra-
tion package, tied to the BMMD, had worked its
way loose during the calibration, thus I think the
scatter in sequences 4, 5, 6, 7. And I reco_end
the next time it be done, that it be tightened with
a pair of pliers. It was tight as much as I can
tighten it with my fingers, but in zero g, they
tend to back off. Another remark is, there was no
S020. We used 2509 batteries, T003, plus a piece
of mosite and a strap to hold them down. And we
will return the strap and the mosite at the end of
the flight and have the stowage people pick that
up. End of BMMD cal message.

the bike halfway efficiently was to move the seat
all the way forward, and I Jacked up the seat height
to - I jacked the seat height up to number 6. And
that puts my legs much more directly, or my hip
much more directly over the pedals, and then I take
the load, up-load through the harness on my
hips and my shoulders. Okay, the first step,
55 watts, and the next step, 105 watts were nothing,
and my heart rate did get as high as it normally does
on ground. But the 155 was just like finishing up
the 200-watt, 20 minute protocol that we had; I was
really running out of gas. And yet, I was using
muscles that I don't normally use down on the ground,
so I don't know whether I'm going to get more effi-
cient or less efficient or what's going to happen.

19 50 40 PLT Hello, tape recorder. Stowage note. On the S190

cassette bags; that is, the bag that the replacement
SI90 film was brought up in, the pad says to stow
the empty bags in F-521. However, F521 is still full_
therefore, the bags are in F520. That's the empty
S190 cassette bags are in F520.

SPT Friendly PTL, the SPT with some ATM dumps. On the
JOP 6 building block i that I ran, the second 82A
exposure inadvertently reached to duration of 4 min-
utes instead of i minute and 40 seconds because when
l'm using the timer, l'm sorry. On the JOP 4 - no,
rather building block 4B, when I maximized detector i
on the H-alpha bright spot ... And, indeed it is
possible to maximize the detector by a factor of 3
or 4. So I got a reading of about 650 to 700, as
compared to a background of 150 to 200. And I got it
to about i slit width or a little more outboard or
toward the limb from the bright spot at H-alpha.
That might be useful both to the Pl's and to the
training people.

PLT And let me timecheck those remarks. The time is 20:05.

20 28 29 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT on the latest

stowage change to preclude ... from using the only
empty locker in my sleep compartment. I have taken
the two charcoal gas masks and I've put them in dome
locker number 426 in the area vacated by the first
lot of urine bags.

the performance of JOP 6 building block 1 Alfa, 82A
was placed for the stop position manually, and the
operate light stayed on. I finally, after about 20
or 30 seconds over the exposure time, closed the door
switch to turn the light out, opened the doors again
and the light was READY again. Will check it on the
next building block and advise. End of message.

continuous sequence on 52. The operate light went
out after it had been about - running for about 4 or
5 minutes on that sequence, stayed out for 15 or 20
seconds, and then came back on. That's all I can
say about it.

02:16:h7 SPT B channel, the SI_T has withdrawn on ... from supply.

02:17:43 PLT Hello, tape recorder. For ATM S - S082A, I ran it

again for the sixth JOP. And, once again, when I
placed the switch in STOP, the operate light stayed
on. I don't know if it - if you think you can make
that exposure or not. But, once again, I terminated
it by going far northward to off, at which time the
light went out. And, with that power door switch on,
the door opened and the light came back on READY.

not exactly sure why they were off. So, the ones we
Just brought on were SIEVA A, SIEVA B, C02, and

SIEVE B CO 2 row are the only switches inhibited.

02:26:38 CDR Hello, friendly B channel. Message 0615 Alfa. Ques-

tion number 1. (Laughter) Question number l: "Have
you detected any change in color, flavor, or texture
of food items?" Ketchup, yes, we had one bad ketchup,
the - the package had ruptured, and it had spoiled.
Butterscotch, we've encountered no bad butterscotch
pudding, so far. No bad asparagus. No bad peas. And
no bad salmon. And no bad eggs, although this morn-
ing's eggs, both the SPT's and the CDR's, had a
slightly different flavor along with PLT's ... His
tasted a little different, too. But not bad. Ques-
tion number 2: "Were the rehydration times long
enough for these items?" The answer to that is yes.
Question number 3: "CDR; were quads B and D plus-X
AUTO RCS light switches turned off prior to ...
burn?" The answer to that is no. The ... were hot.
However, the fuel shutoff valves ... Maybe, that's
a no-no, but, I thought that was the easiest way to
do it. That is the end of questions 1 through 3.
And I will turn this message over to the SPT to an-
swer the rest of them.

at it and see if you see anything. Or, we might watch

03 18 22 SPT Hey, sweet lovely B channel, your lonely SPT, who

is hungering for hi,nan companionship, would like to
report that the serial numbers of the darn! - for
tomorrow's form letter- (Laughter).

03 18 46 SPT The PLT's (laughter) is number 09h. The CDR's is

number i17, and the SPT's is number 195. Please
remember that, number 195. Good night.

03 35 16 SPT Hello, B channel. This is the SPT at about 03:35,

answering the questions that came up on the
teleprinter as we went to sleep here. Question
number h was ... Dresently loaded in the ATMDC?
I really don't know_ possibly 0. I suggest if
Houston is unable to load one in the ATMDC and they
want a particular one loaded, we'll be glad to do
it for them. But I don't remember the last time I
loaded a maneuver card.

03 36 32 SPT Okay. Question number 6. I did report that S082 A

had the OPERATING light ON after the mode terminated.
And I'm trying to remember what the mode was; I
think it was auto. No, I know it was auto, but I
don't remember if it was auto 2 or not. Look that
up on the ATM schedule pad, which is not handy to me
at the moment. The light was on until I stopped it
by pulling MAIN POWER to OFF and back ON. Hitting
the STOP switch had no effect on the OPERATING light.
The PLT subsequently reported the same thing during
his night pass.

03 37 20 SPT Number 7 is confirmed - about the ... a half

second is obviously an estimate. The following
ones were 1 second, 2 seconds, h seconds, and I
don't know if I had - don't remember if you caught
an 8-second one or not, but those were the times.

13 32 36 SPT Good morning, B channel. This is the SPT with some

comments on the M if0. The centrifuge is working
very well; however, it's still not batting a
thousand - on the complete procedure. Today, the
PLT's blood appeared to be on the verge of clotting,
when it got into the air. And although I evacuated
the air for a further procedure, I discussed yes-
terday, that is, leaving it on the fetal until it
was ready to receive the blood. It worked fine on
the other two. The PLT's blood didn't go in very
well, and I don't know whether that's because of
an inadequate vacuum, or because perhaps I didn't
shake the syringe hard enough and the - for one
reason or another we had some clotting problem. As
a result - here's - plasma vials did not fill and
the blood sample that you will receive has a layer
of plasma at the top of the column of blood, but no
plasma separated. The other two were fine. And
that's about it. The only other procedural comment
I have for the followZon troops is when you with-
draw the needle from the ASP after inserting the
blood, you should wrap a tissue around it ; because
it's very difficult to exert Just the right amount
of pressure not to withdraw blood from the ASP, and
also not to get a spill from the needle when you
withdraw the blood.

13 41 24 CDR Hello, friendly B channel. This is the CDR. Just

stowing the third suit that belongs to Dr. Kerwin.
I have taken the helmet guard, which we had for the
SEVA, and I have stowed it in dome locker 414 along
with one of the - - ... located there.

13 53 45 PLT Hello - Hello, tape recorder. This is for the FAO.

For airlock operation, the fit and pressurization of
the airlock takes much longer than I anticipated,
and we're going to have to allow about 5 minutes.
in there to vent the airlock and to pressurize it
prior to the airlock operations.

15 lh h3 PLT Okay, B channel, a couple of notes on M131. On the

OGI mode, for some reason the alinement between the
biteboard and the goggles was imperfect, by, I'd say,
5 to 8 degrees of nick side tilt [?]. In other
words, if he bit the biteboard, his head was to the
right or to the left of where it should have been
for the goggles. We did a little of metal bending,
and we wind up with his head firmly in the goggles
and straight, but he's not in the tooth holes in the
biteboard anymore. On the MS modes, the forward
proximity center is too short to be reached at all
by the subject when he bends forward. This is
because it was marginal in the first place, and
because you float up higher in the chair in zero g
than you do in one g, and you just can't get down
there and reach it. Another design comnent is that
the seat belt with the Velcro does not hold you well
enough.

mode -The result was as follows: 150 head movements
were performed at zero rpm. At fiftieth head move-
ment, the PLT reported that he felt like he was
moving. Pitching up and rolling left as a ... it is
not a symptom, it's a comment. The 70th head move-
ment, he repeated that cnmment, saying that he felt
as if his gyros were dripping. At the 150th movement,
he noticed epigastric awareness and a little saliva-
tion at about llO. However, those symptoms decreased
in intensity and he finished around 150 head movements
with essentially no symptoms. And also ... I'm -
I'm not going to repeat the direction of rotation in
the responses on the OGI test because the first test,
I'm not sure whether I added them all correctly. And
on the fourth level, I thought I had added them all
correctly, but the machine said increase, which was
wrong. So here we go. - At level l, clockwise - no,

16 19 59 PLT Hello, ... On SOl9, a preliminary check of the

primer shows that opening the shutter is indicated,
and stopping when indicated at 30 seconds gives
you 30-second exposure, and at 270 seconds it
gives you 275-second exposure.

17 20 22 PLT Okay, B channel, this is ATM operation - the 17:13

pad, building block 4 on filament 62. The roll is
exactly the same today as it was yesterday. The
pointing, I think, is about 20 arc seconds. I was
going to say lower. It'll be lower, and I'll
give you the experiment roll, which is minus 5640.
In other words, about 30 arc seconds farther than
it was yesterday because the portion of the filament
Just beyond the western pointing end of it
appears to have thinned out ... between today and
yesterday. So in an effort to fill the slit, I
moved the slit about 30 arc seconds to the east [?].

18 Ol 44 CDR B channel, this is 18:02 GMT, with the - some

ATM observations. The SPT did a survey of the limb
prominences and Just wants to note, for the training
people especially, that the prominences are nicely
visible at H-alpha I, and their sensitivity to so
much of the temperatures in the monitor is fair,
hut it is not as great as it was in training. And
if you move the disks into the monitor, and they
don't ... quite so quickly. Which makes it easy to
do a survey - you can have about a quarter of a TV
screen filled with disks, do a front centered roll,

21 51 54 PLT Hello, tape recorder. For the contamination observa-

tion, STS window number 3 is perfectly clear. The
wardroom window, however, is another story. It has
the ice - piece of ice in the middle of it which we
previously described. It also has what appears to be
a dirty film, probably on the outside of the outer
pane because it has what appears to be water streaks
down it and since they do tend to the aft end of the
vehicle, I suspect that that same water was on the
pad. There is quite a bit of oily looking film. It's
hard to tell if it's on the inside or outside of the
outer pane. A few darker, dirty looking spots like
condensation. And in these tracks it looks like
some water has run down over the_rlndow.

monitor operation this morning, as I have a feeling
there is something wrong with our detecting equip-
ment. First the Allen wrench part of the one batch
of screws stripped out on first application. We
had to get a hammer and a screwdriver and make our
own prod to open it with a screwdriver. Then when
I opened it, around the port A hold was a consider-
able quantity of film of dried, white power-like
substance, almost as though something inside the
port for A had broken and float - flowed out around
it and subsequently dried. Then I went ... performed
a protocol and each of the four locations - the
three sleep compartments and at the MOLSIEVE inlet
- the MOLSIEVE A, the readings were all the same.
CO 2 - also temperatures and these readings were:

C02, 12 part - Correction, C02, 12 millimeters of

mercury; temperature, 85; dewpoint, 45. The MOLSIEVE
readings are: MOLSIEVE A inlet, 3.5; temperature
in, 62; dewpoint, 48. End of message.

12 47 50 SPT Good morning, B. channel. This is the SPT answering

his day 115 (sic) evening questions. Question num-
ber _ on water purification, the PLT did that. He
states that the color development was rapid. Ques-
tion number 5: during the flare drill, S082A, was
operated in the flare mode for approximately h minutes.
Number 6: on the S055 high voltage - Let me answer
kind of 6, 7, and 8 by giving a little chronology
of it. We were doing zero line scans with all re-
Jectors rating zero, and the detectors would all come
on the line normally. The interval between turning
the detectors on was about 1 second. The order was:
i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 6, 5 - l, 2, 3. 7, 6, 5. Sorry.
As usual the PLT indications were normal. There was
no immediate trip-out until the mode was started, at
which time I would look back to check on it a minute
or so later, and it would have tripped out -with a
SCAN SPEC light and no READY, and no OPERATE; and
three times I reinitiated by shutting all the de-

same thing would happen. The fourth time, I left
detectors 5 and 6 off and turned the others on, and
the mode continued normally. During no other mode

off.

14 19 13 CDR Hello. Friendly B Channel. Message 0719 Delta. The

answer to question l: following ... S082 mode, does
the OPERATING light stay ON? We haven't tried AUTO
1 yet, but it stays on TIME and AUTO 2. Question 2:
When the S082A door opens the next time, is the READY
light or OPERATE light on? The answer is: The READY
light is ON when we start the experiment the first
time; the OPERATE light comes on, then stays on for-
ever until you cycle the doors. Question number 3
we'll have the answer for you a little later today,
but as I remember you asked yesterday, "Have you
noticed any drift around H-alpha pointing around i
minute before sunset?" And the answer to that is l've
noticed some drift, but I don't think it's as far back
as i minute. We'll check that. That's it for now.

14 35 49 CDR Hello, Friendly B Channel. This is the CDR with

another comment for the follow-on crew. We have had a
fair amount of trouble with the 16 millimeter 400 foot
magazine combination running all the time. But the
first thing is all the noises that you're used to
hearing on the ground - the clickity clack, clack,
clatter, click clack - it does not do that at all up
here in zero G. It's a whole new set of sounds that
you have to see. And also you don't get the Jerking
dragged out for some reason that you see on the take-
up spool as it's first treading. And a - Practically
the only way you can check it is - if you really got a
good tread is to do all the things, and then take
your pen and mark - take the magazine off, mark the
frame, put it back on the camera, and run it again to
see if it's gone through. But it's an entirely dif-
ferent set of sounds up here. So all your good train-
ing down on the ground running that thing, you can
neglect them.

15 50 05 PLT Tape recorder this is M133 on the SPT.

SPT ii

]?LT Oh? Oh_ MI31. MI31 for the SPT. The time is
15:50 GMT. Ha. Ha.

13PT End of message.

16 30 31 SPT Friendly channel B, this is the SPT with the M131-2

debriefing question. It's more difficult to stand by
one's might.

SPT Okay. We will note, first of all, that the point

planning time allotted for the -2 run was sufficient.
That is _5 minutes per subject. Now back to the ques-
tion. It is more difficult relative to ground base
trials. The internal frames of the reference appear
to be as easy as they ever were. However, the external
frame of reference fittings represent pretty much
pure guess work. It's a pure visual turnaround. You
look at the workshop, you intellectually figure out
what angle you're at to it. You know, I'm pitched
about 20 degrees, and I'm rolled about 15 degrees.
And then you set - you close your eyes, and you set
the pointer to the internal frame of reference to the
... by those stored-in-memory amounts of degrees. So
you're not really using the vestibular apparatus to
m_e thisexternal frame reference Judgment at all.
And since it's difficult for the visual system, I
think, to Judge small angles like that very accurately
and then to set them in, the errors are probably go-
ing to be large, but they ought to be more or less
random. At least over a period of time.

13PT Now any conflicts between sensory cues for making

Judgments in perspective to the external frame of
reference? No, I simply noticed the absence of the
overriding gravity clue or cue, which makes it so
easy in one g to detect how far you're pointed off
the vertical. In answering question l, I said that
we estimated visually the number of degrees off the
vertical and the horizontal that you were, and that's
true, but it's much more difficult to deal with zero g
than it is one g because you don't have that gravity
clue. Did I - in answer to number 3 - no, never a
vestibular sense to the upright. The brain, I'm

convinced, gives you it's own frame of reference all

the time, hut in zero g this frame of reference is up

there on left
time you want to right
it to reference
change. And frame;
it does changes any
not occur
to be influenced by the vestibular system. Answer
to number 4 is no.

16 33 34 SPT Number 5 is a very good question, because in the

OGI mode yesterday, both the PLT and myself noticed
that the very low settings for line target appeared
to move slowly back and forth with a period of 1 to 2
seconds. I noticed today that the same thing occurred,
and obviously it's a - not related to rotation. It's
a drift that we have where headed steady here at
zero g - It's a left-right, left-right, 1 to 2 second,
small amplitude, but noticeable calculation. And
number 6, no additional co-,_ent. Oh, yes, I do have
one. In the litter mode, since one is strapped to
the litter only by a very inadequate Velcro strap
around the chest; you tend to flack, to Jackknife,
and it's very difficult to keep straight and to
keep down on the - on the chair. When you get a ...
in your litter mode data, would you mind - keep in
mind that the internal frame of reference might not
be parallel to the litter, but at some angle to it.

$PT Ok_, t_ape recorder, here's the data from the SPT_s

17 20 44 PLT Hello, tape recorder. This is the PLT - these are

PLT's comments after his M131-2 run. Question I,
degree of difficulty: it was much more difficult due
to the lack of a gravity back there. It was quite
difficult, as a matter of fact. That angle, I think,
is quite small for making - to be able to ... Number
2, conflicts between sensory cues: they were hardly
worrying me; so there were no conflicts. A positive
sense of the upright at anytime: no, not really.
I'm not sure now I understand what you mean by the
question. Okay, assuming that a foot [?] and three
means a positive sense such as the gravity vector,
the answer is negative. Judgments influenced by
auditory cues or other environmental factors: nega-
tive. Did the line target appear stable: pretty
much. It did have that same sort of lateral oscilla-
tion that Dr. Kerwin, the SPT, noted after his run,
previous. He described it Just as I would. As he
mentioned, it showed up first in the rotating mode,
yesterday. And I have no additional comments or
obseryations. Bye.

17 50 33 CDR Hello there, friendly channel B. Just a little bit

for the Sh87 checklist writers. While activating the

18 33 2h SPT Contamination observation on window - STS window 2.

The window itself is clean. However, it has several
linty particles on the outside. The_e come from the
fact that on all STS windows, which I neglected to
mention before, this is one of the most noticeable
looking into the Sun, is that as you open and close
the window cover, it rubs over that silver foil in-
sulation and frays it. And the backing material ap-
pears to be some kind of cloth, and that causes linting.

19 13 14 PLT Hello, B channel. This is the PLT with the M487-3

Alfa. Going to page 3-3 on restraints and mobility
aids. The fireman's pole we have not used yet because
we have not needed it. The OWS dome and wall handrails
have, on occasion, been of some use primarily for
stability. They are not used for transiting the dome
or forward areas. We do that by polnt-to-point
translations free floating. Same thing with the STS
handrailsand the MDA. We've generally found that
you just move about this vehicle by, as I say, Just
oushing off and translating from point to point. You
usethese handrails, but you use whatever is available;
a surface - The mol sieve surface, the back of the
ATM chair; whatever you need Just to give yourself a
little tweaks to keep yourself tr_m_ed up. The hand-
rails are not needed for translation. Handholds and
handrails are needed for stability. And on occasion,
for example, yesterday when I vacuum cleaned the
plenum inlet screen at the top of the domeL I found
the ducts themselves very handy for footholds. I'd
wrap my legs around them and use that to stablize my-
self while I was vacul,m4ug the screen. The triangular
shoes in the grid have come in very handy. The mode
we've gotten into usually, most of the time, is you
only hook in one shoe. Consequently, we've been try-
ing off and on, we'll comment on it later, on two
triangles as opposed to one triangle and one mushroom.

19 15 03 PLT The water tank foot platform has been used on occasion
when working in a dome locker. I think it's been
necessary and useful. Again, the usual use for myself
has been to hook one foot in one of the triangular
cutouts.

19 15 21 PLT The ATM foot platform has been used so far only to
hold the captain's chair. We have been using the
captain's chair almost exclusively at the ATM.

The portable foot restraint _la_Q_rm_in the MDA: the

CDB used it yesterday for an EREP run, and it appear-
ed to work quite well. He said he was quite happy
with it. The portable PGA foot restrai'nts we have not
used. Portable handholds: the only place we've really
used them is in the vicinity of the bicycle ergometer,
and we - were attempting to figure out how in heaven's
name we can really ride that bicycle and get some work
done in a fairly reasonable m-nner. Portable equipment
restraints: you could never have too many of those,
... Sethers, bungees, universal mounts. The one thing
that you're always looking for in a vehicle and we
neve _ -there a_re never toqm-_y straps or Velcro -
correction: not straps, snaps - never too many snaps
or Velcro patches in the vehicle itself. The ATM
seat/backrest restraint has been used. It's got the
airline _pipe belt-onitj-which is a necessity. Velcr0
Just doesn't do the Job in zero g for a belt. You
look at the belt on the MI31 chair, and it is practical-
ly negative, useless. The conical shoe cleats, we
are still evaluating. They come in handy at times in
that they are quick and easy to use relative to the
triangles; however, the one drawback to them is that
occasionally they get caught in the grid when you don't
want them to. Let's see now. Waste management: " !, _
as a new boy, and hearing horror stories from the old
heads, have been ... deliriously surprised with the
operation of the waste management equipment, the fecal
c_llection and the urinecollection both.--The air
stream on the fecal collection unit works quite well.
You must - I have found personally that you must use
the belt, and I must use the handhold and pull myself
down on the seat to _a_e sure you get a good seal.
The better the seal you got around the lid of the seat,
the better the equipment seems to work. The urine
collection equipment: once we found out that it didn't
work right unless you had a fecal bag in, otherwise
you don't get enough suction to the urine receiver,
works quite well. It is - it stays surprisingly clean,
and after some 4 days of use, the urine receiver and
hose has no odor, which I was concerned about prior
to launch.

19 19 37 PLT Okay. Pressing on to page 3-h, food management. The

wardroom table is, as far as an eating station, is
very nice. Just like training. The thigh restraints
I use two ways: either as designed or I also hook
 Final

my knees over the innermost of the two crossmembers.

I find that I personally don't use the foolstraps at
all. I Just hook my knees over the thigh restraints
and, with light pressure on the toes aga_instthe
table pedestal, maintain myself in position there.
So that covers the first three, I guess. The food
reconstitution dispenser is - is good. Le-5 me look
at your definitions.

19 23 20 PLT Okay, tape recorder. I find that for I don't know

how long I'ye been holding the record switch up on
this C0_4 bOX instead of the intercom box. Hopefully,
(cough) I got the run down on work restraints. ± got
page 3-3 on there. I'll do page 3-4 over again. The
wardroom table is convenient. It's - we've been using
itJus_t-as-we have in training. The thigh restraints
I use two ways. One is to put my legs in in the ...
method. The other is I hook my knees over the inner-
most of the two crossmembers and with light toe pres-
sure against the work table pedestal, I maintain
position that way. The foot restraint - for either
the straps or the tri_le fittings I haven,t been
using at _ll. Food reconstitution dispenser: those
water dispensers need some kind of handhold in their
vicinity.

19 24 16 PLT It's fairly difficult to press down on it, especially

a Juice bag, which is filling and unpleating it's
accordian style at the same time. I think we need some
sort of small fingerhold not a handhold, right around
those water dispensers. The water gun works, as I
suppose you know, it's easy to use. It takes about
three shots of water before you get chilled water,
but that's all right. The food tray has worked out
fine. The beverage dispensers are too small. Each
accordian dispenser that you put in there for each
accordian container we put in there seems to be around
1.05 times as big as the drawer's design. The drawers
need to be about l0 percent bigger than they are.
They're hard to open, hard to close, hard to get drinks
in and out of. The freezing dispenser has worked fine.
The eating utensils have worked fine. It is a necessity
that they be held in place magnetically. The teaspoon,
I still think, is too small. Although I have brought
my large spoon down out of the command module. The
miscellaneous column, the sleep restraint is extremely
useful, versatile, and very good, I think. You can
Final --

quote "lie" unquote in any position you want. On your

back, on your side, on your stomach, with as many
covers as you want. It's all been quite nice. Trash
airlock - is all right. Right now the opening seals
in the lid are in very good shape. Plus that it takes
a pretty good heave. You either have to lie down,
straddle the thing, and really muscle and twist down
on it in order to release the interlock so you can get
the lid lock up over where two people have to use it.
We have also taken to taking our urine bags and folding
them double and wrapping them in 5 or 6 turns of gray
tape. It was because we had a slight palpitation the
first night in. W e dumped some urine bags from the
co--,=md module and evidently they had quite a bit mere
air in them than these urine bags have had. But we put
it in, put the urine bags in, dumped the airlock, tried
to push it out with the ejector, and it would only
move - It hardly seemed like it moved at all.

19 26 46 PLT When you tried to take a look, tried to close the outer
door and could not, it was obvious that what was in
there was stuck part way out. So we thought that on
day 2 of the mission, we had already lost the trash
airlock. However, by Judicious application of force,
we finally got the thing rammed down, decided that
it was the air in the bags expanding the bags being
exposed to vacuum and Just flat being too big for
airlock had JRmmed it in there. So subsequently, as
I say, we've taken to wrapping them with tape. The
vacuum cleaner was used as such for the first time
last night to clean the - all inlet screens to all
fans. It worked very well. It was use d mainly on the
flat debris screen surfaces where you could get at
them without any attachment on it at all. Now on a
couple of fans where I had to come in on an angle I
used the crevice tool, I believe it's called, and
cleaned it that way. The wardroom table is, as far as
noneating uses, has been used sometimes as a working
table and kind of reading checklists and sometimes
working on small equipment. That is the end of
487-3 Alfa.

19 28 17 PLT Tape recorder, if you missed any item on page 3-3 on

this h87-3 Alfa, let me know and I'll do them again
in case I was holding the record switch up instead of
intercom switch for that.

19 35 12 PLT Tape recorder, for the MI31 on the SPT. We consider

the first two steps that we did yesterday on the OGI
mode to be validated; therefore we're picking up with
the third step today at level 8. The subject's state
of fitness is cranky as usual; therefore, no concern
or use.

20 00 23 PLT MI31 on the SPT: the nitrogen pressure on the chair

is 1200.

20 O0 59 SPT Tape recorder, this is the SPT with the debriefing

from M131 OGI mode. Question number l: I had a slight
sense of rotati_on at the last step Y only. Question
_umber 2: yes, and I debriefed on this previously
that the light target occasionally exhibits the tend-
ency to oscillate back and forth slowly. And it seem-
ed to occur both at the_low steps and _hen to some
extent at the higher steps. It's superimposed on the
z illusion, or rather the illusion is superimposedon
it. And I think it accounts for the irregularity of
some of my responses. The only additional observations
I have are on the hardware. The misaligment between
biteboard and goggle is such that it's impossible for
me to hold the biteboard in my teeth and still have
a light leak - or a light seal through the goggles.
I have to almost swallow the biteboard in order to
get a light seal. Then, of course, the settings tend
to change because of zero g. And I've noti.-ed that
it's very easy in zero g to let the biteboard supporter
float up from its stop, which destroys the angle be-
tween your horizontal canal and the axis of rotation.
You have to be very conscious about not letting it do
that. That's all.

• 20 0_ 08 PLT Note of interest for MI31 for the MS mode. In zero

gravity you float up out of the chair such that it is -
We don't remember whether we debriefed this on the
tape or not yesterday. You float up out of the chair,
and you Just cannot reach the proximity detectors;
therefore, we are going to continue this flight with-
out using them.

20 00 24 SPT For M131 on the SPT. The nitrogen pressure on the

chair is 1200.

20 00 59 SPT Tape recorder, this is the SPT with the debriefing

from M131 0GI mode. Question number l: I had a
slight sense of rotation at the last step - only.
Question number 2: Yes, and I debriefed on this
previously that the light target occasionally
exhibits the tendency to oscillate back and forth
slowly, and it seemed to occur both at the low steps
and then to some extent at the higher steps. It's
superimposed on the - on the - on the - No, on the
illusion - or rather the illusion is superimposed on
it. And I think it accounts for the - the irregu-
larity of some of my responses. And the only addi-
tional observations I have are on the hardware. The
misallgnment between biteboard and goggle is such
that it is impossible for me to hold the biteboard
in my teeth and still have a light leak - or a light
seal through the goggies. I have to 8_-_st swallow
the biteboard in order to get a light seal. And, of
course, the settings tend to change because of the
zero g. And I've noticed that it's very easy in
zero g to let the biteboard supporter float up from
its stop, which destroys the angle between you hor-
izontal canal and the axis of rotation. You have to
be very conscious about not letting it do that.
That's all.

20 04 l0 SPT Note of interest for M131 for the MS mode. In zero

gravity you float up out of the chair such Chat it
is - We don't remember whether we debriefed on this
the tape or not yesterday. You float up out of the
chair and you Just cannot reach the proximity detec-
tors. Therefore, we are going to continue this
flight without using them.

21 08 55 SPT The PLT is isolated in his usual bench in front of

LBNPD - very poorly.

21 16 53 SPT Channel B, due to a delay of getting vacuum on the

PLT, we're starting the vacuum portion of the run in
18 minutes elapsed time rather than 20. You'll have
7 minutes of baseline data.

00:37:16 CDB MARK. Liter bag dump initiate at 00:37:23.

01 08 05 SPT B channel, SPT with a report on the 00:16 ATM run.

Active region 18 was the object of study. It is one
area of reasonably bright plage on active region 18.
I noted that is w_s possible to peak detector 1 very
easily. The background was running between 50 and 75,
and over the area of plage, it was running 5 to 600,
with very sharp discrimination and very colinear with
the H-alpha display. This was surprising and pleasing,
and it should be passed on to the training people.
That's about it on solar discovery. The - about the
only thing I remembered doing wrong on the building
block was I prematurely started S056 and 82B - Just
prior to step B of building block _ without pointing
properly and I immediately stopped and, I guess, proba-
bly wasted a frame each. End of message.

was running the procedure per the checklist and when
I got to the step to run in RAD/SCAT, I had to drive

that at 6-arc seconds off, instead of the 20, which
I had appointed previously.

16 48 25 CDR Hello, friendly B channel. This is CDR with the

sound level meter at frequency analyzer lock. First,
be advised that the stab meter is stowed to the right
side of locker - The stab meter is stored on the
right-hand side of locker 623. The following stab
levels were recorded of the following locations:
wardroom with the frequency meter parallel _md over
the CDR's tray pointed towards the OWS window. The ambi-
ent noise level was 46.5. The filtered noise levels
were: i was 35.0, 2 was 46.0, 3 was 53.0, 4 was 39.0,
5 was 30.0, 6 was 21.0, 7 was 18.0, and 8 was 18.0.
In the experiments compartment, the sound level meter
was parallel to the floor, located at the L_NP
pointing towards the SF. The ambient noise level

3 was 45.0, 4 was 44.0, 5 was 33.0, 6 was 4(;.0,
7 was 20.5, and 8 was 19. In the airlock, it was
parallel and pointing plus-X in the middle of the
airlock. The ambient noise level was 55.0;
I was 44.0, 2 was 48.0, 3 was 56.0, 4 was 5L.0,
5 was 44.0, 6 was 36.0, 7 was 33.5, and 8 was 21.0.

16 52 59 CDR In the MDA, the sound meter was located in +he M512
station, pointed minus-X. The ambient noisc level

3 was 63.0, 4 was 51.0, 5 was 53.5, 37 - 6 was 37.5,
7 was 38.5, and 8 was 34.0. That's the end of the
sound level meter and frequency analyzer leg.

17 06 35 SPT Tape recorder, this comment is for flight l'lanners

and stowage people. We find extensive use for these
spring bungees. I suggest that the fol - following

CDR MTLI.

SPT - - MTL1 is the tskeup reel. We got a couple of other

activities in there; I'm sure the PI will be interested
in at least knowing what they were. One was - while
the CDR was doing M - S183, the PLT was doing water
tank ss/npling. And also, at the end of it, then, was
a little bit for M516 on inflight maintenance, in
_ that the fourth missing screw from S019, which had
previously been taken apart, was found, and was
installed, although it was shielded by S183. You
couldn't see much, but that's what was going on.

14 13 36 CDR And, friendly tape recorder, the CDR on the same

M151/S183. Came to a part of the checklist that
said "turn DAC off," and unfortunately, that was
for an M516, and I didn't note that. I turned the
DAC off. I caught it a little later and turned
the DAC back on. And the ... that had ... is
connecting the SAL power cable and the SAL instru-
mentation cable to the S183. Otherwise, the MI51
and S183 is complete.

14 15 25 SPT Okay. For the VTR tape recordings of ATM, the time
is 14:16.

SPT Okay. And having gotten the time check on the tape,
channel B, I'd like to point out that the VTR recordings
included pictures of the white light coronagraph
during a high rate roll and during the door closing.

under the heading of inflight observations. At ...
spacecraft ... which occurred at approximately
1_:25 Zulu today. Was observed out of one of the
SPS windows.

14 B0 01 PLT I forget which one right now. About 3 or 4 minutes

after sunset when it could have climatize@, I looked
off toward the south. There was a higher - what
appeared to be a higher band of aluminum that may
have been atmosphere near us or where the Sun had
set being illuminated by the Moon. We can't tell
because we can't really see the Moon. After a little
more dark-adaption, again looking toward the south,
we saw several streamers that almost appeared to be
aurora, although they did - appeared to be a little
too high up in latitude for that, although maybe not.
Either that or noctilueent clouds. The only thing
I could - only thing I could think of, although they
did appear to extend above this other sphere - this
dimly illuminated sphere that - which may have been
illuminated by Moonlight. That - the formation
appeared to be eccentially radial. That is - the -
were very thin and ethereal and radiated outward
from the Earth's center which kind of makes me dis-
believe they were any kind of clouds.

iS 44 09 CDR Hello, friendly tape recorder; this is the CDR on

S18S. The time is iB:44; it's that sequence
number i, has been initiated on star field number
252 on plate 006.

13 45 45 SPT Okay, friendly B channel; this is the SPT at 13:45

with an M487-BA, subjective evaluation of the fol-
lowing equipment items. The OWS fireman's pole
has not been used. I believe, that if it were in
place, it would be a handy helper for - moving
rapidly down the workshop and for carrying large
objects with one hand; however, the strap, while
it probably doesn't do as good a Job - satisfactory
Job - and we don't have any present intentions
of rigging the fireman's pole. Okay, the 0WS dome
and wall handrails, again, are adequate for their
Jobs, maybe even give them a very good. Their Job
is not to hand-over-hand it - you never hand-over-
- hand it around that place, unless you've got a lot
of equipment in your hand and are carrying a
large package, for instance, that you want to make
sure you don't get loose. You ordinarily fly from
one location to the next, and all you need when you
get there is something to grab onto, and the hand-
rails are perfectly satisfactory for that. I
think the handrails in the STS, are very good.
Once again, they're not for hand-over-handing.
They're for steadying oneself at work stations,
stopping when you come flying through the hatch.
You want a handrail to grab to torque yourself
around on to get into position to look at a panel.
Having the panels circum - the handrails cireum-
ferentially around the various panels is a very
good thing.

13 47 53 SPT Triangular shoes. We all wear the triangular shoes

most of the time. They're not at all necessary for
translation or walking. And, of course, we never
use them in that mode. They're extremely handy
for keeping oneself steady at a work station
while doing a Job, leaving both hands free. We
have several kinds of mushrooms and buttons for the
shoes up here. My personal preference now, the way
I'm going, is to wear the large mushroom on my
right foot and the triangle on my left foot. The
Final
Dump Tape 15h-03
Time: 13:44:09 to i_:18:19
Pa_e 2 of 7

triangle is quite helpful when you want to concen-

trate on something else for a few too many minutes -
want to lock yourself in and stay locked. However,
itls a lot of trouble getting it in, and a little
trouble gettingit out. With two triangles on my
shoe, it drives me up the wall, because it takes me
B0 to 45 seconds to get locked in at a spot, which is
a waste of time. Between the mushrooms, I've evaluated
the medium and the large. I thought the medium mush-
rooms were adequate, but they were too easy to slip
out with, and you had to concentrate too much on
keeping your foot pressed against one corner of the
triangle so that the mushroom wouldn't pop out. With
the large mushroom - this is not nearly so bad. They're
fairly easy to slip in and they hold very well. Some-
times they're a little trouble getting out of. Trying
to get it out in a hurry, you have to sometimes look
down and figure out which direction you have to go.
I think, for that reason, Paul prefers small ones.
I prefer big ones. In snmmary, triangle shoes are
mandatory. If I had to make an improvement, I
would have loaded two pairs of shoes on board for
each crewman, so that I might leave the triangles
in one of them to ride the bike with and put mush-
rooms in the other.

13 49 55 SPT The water tank foot platform is handy but not required.
If you're working at a dome locker for a period of
time, it is very pleasant to be able to stick one foot
int_ a mushroom or a triangle into one of the holes
in the - in the foot platform. So, if you're Just
going there to get loose item of equipment, you can
steady yourself on your hands, then open the locker,
steady yourself with your hands again, reach in and
get what you want, and steady yourself again, and
close the locker on the way down. The portable EREP
foot platform, I have not used. The portable PGA foot
restraint, we have not yet used. The portable hand-
holds have not been used. The portable tether hooks,
I am currently using to try and rig ropes with handles
to hold myself down on the bicycle seat while peddling
the bike. The portable tether hooks hook you to the
floor grid and the ropes are attached to them, and
 Final
Dump Tape 154-03
Time: 13:44:09 to 14:18:19
Page 3 of 7

various locations can be selected either forward or

aft, of the - of the pedals to try and find _.he right
axis along which to exert the force. The big difficulty
here is that we diLu't think, when we put all the extra
Junk in the experiment compartment, how handy those
triangles were going to be.

13 51 23 SPT

The shower is much too

close to the bicycle. Okay, portable equipment,
these three: The straps are extremely useful. The
short straps, I haven't used too much. They are
really too short to tie things to. But the long
straps and the equipment straps are extremely useful.
I have right now, the entertainment tape recorder
strapped to the radio noise burst monitor here -
monitor here at the ATM panel. Bungees we find very
useful, particularly down in the wardroom and so on
for temporary restraint of cameras and checklists.
Smaller things than that, such as pads, the bungees
are not adequate for me, because they - the pads
slip out and makes it too flat or too smooth. But
anything that's got hooks on it, like a camera,
works out very well under a bungee.

13 52 29 SPT The - One item of equipment that is a pain in the neck,

and it's not useful at all, are the large clipboards
that snap in the standard snap pattern. Everytime
you touch one of those things, they come flying off.
On the other hand, it's a major operation to get them
back on the snap. And we Just made a bad mistake by
assuming that we could snap something to a flat wall,
especially something with any standoff, such as these
clipboards have, and then exert any force against it.
The ATM seat is very useful, although you don't
really sit in it, obviously. You have to push the
seat belt down pretty tight ah - if you want your
back to be supported. I find it useful because it
gives you a body-centered restraint from which you
can work against. You can reach the whole ATM panel,
 Final
Dump Tape 154-03
Time: 13:_4:09 to 14:18:19
Page 5 of 7

nicely. Okay, the - I talked about the lap strap.

The handholds are fine, they're well-placed, and
they certainly are necessary - in the fecal collec-
, tion system. The handwasher handrail, let's just
say, in genera±, Lhat it's nice to have some hand-
" rails around the waste management compartment for
Z parking you body.

{ ---

lh 00 09 SPT It's nice to have a small, closed compartment like

that. You can go in there and close the door and
kind of bounce around. The waste management system's
ceiling handrail - didn't know there was one. The
light-duty foot restraints, I think we've talked
about. Our drying stations are adequate and handy.
Things dry out very rapidly up there. And as for the
zero-g shower, it's a pleasant experience, _Lnd I
think it proves the - the feasibility of the prin-
ciple that man can live in a small close space with
water, and he's not going to drown, because the water
does not fly through the air. It sticks to whatever
is there, mostly you, partly the walls. Ag_in, I
think the air flow in there is grossly inadequate.
The method of containing the water and getting it
into a, you know, compartment where you can throw it
away, is not good. It takes forever to dry both
oneself and the walls, using the inadequate little
vacuum cleaner that we've got, and some better method
ought to be come up with. But the principle of
crawling inside a shower and spraying yourself down
is great.

and you can reach the comm box, and the TV SE]_gCTOR
switch on your left. You can't reach the VTR on the
right, and you can reach - myself, I cs.u only reach
the very nearest checklists and the checklist com-
partment. But, of course, by loosening the lap belt
you can then reach the VTR, you can reach abo'_e you -
all the lockers - you can reach the radio noi_e
burst monitor, you can even ziggf over and see
what time it is on the MDA panel, bring yourself back
to the ATM. And you can work either with or _aithout
the foot rest. Without the foot rests - I mean the
lap belt - without the lap belt, it just serw_--_s
as a
sort of a - nook. You know, your - body floats be-
tween the ATM panel and the chair, and it's useful,
too. I think it's a great tool. I've already
talked about the conical shoe cleats. I called them
mushrooms. The fecal collection equipment - _.¢orks,
much to our surprise_ if one is careful and t_:_kes
it slow. Stand by.

13 56 46 SPT Okay, B channel, where were we? Fecal collection

equipment. The air-flow method of collecticn
\ appears to be practical. A larger air flow, I think,

/ _ is mandatory on future mission designs. This one is

., , J marginal. However, the method appears feasible.
' And the urine collection, not only is the method
feasible, but the flow is probably adequate or very
close to it. The urine flush water dispenser, we
have not used. Let me get back to fecal collection
equipment to mention something I said on channel B
before. Stand by a minute.

13 58 O1 PLT That's all I could see_ so I didn't bother.

lh 02 17 SPT Okay, channel B, we're back to food management equip-

ment now. The wardroom table, the eating station is
fine, except for the co_ents on the foot restraints,
which are of the same type as the head foot restraints,
which are inadequate. The thigh restraints do their
Job, but require foot restraints along with them in
order to he maximally useful. And the option exists
of hooking the mushroom into a triangle. We do that
sometimes. Again, there aren't enough triangles
underneath these various working stations, in partic-
ular, in the wardroom, because so much of the area
hss been used up by structures of various kinds. So
the idea of having a slip-in foot restraint there is
.... good, but we need a better kind.

SPT Okay, food reconstitution dispenser, no problems,

really. You need a little something to react aginst
when you're pushing the food down into the water dis-
penser. Generally, you either brace yourself with
your thigh restraints or you put one hand on the edge
of - of the food table and pull at that while you
push down with the other hand. The water gun is Just
fine. It's an excellent piece of equipment. The food
tray is okay, except that the friction set should be
spring clamped or something of that sort, so that it
can tolerate food cans and, in particular, drink
containers of a wider dispersion of sizes. A very
common event is for a small food tray - small food
can or drink container to Just go wandering off,
because it doesn't stick in the friction sets. Aside
from that, it's a fine thing. The food cans are okay,
with the split-the-seam proviso. The beverage dis-
pensers have a couple of drawbacks. They are adequate;
they are doing the Job. But aside from the failure-
type things, such as valves that leak air backwards
and seam failures that we've had, none of which, by
the way has been catastrophic, the problem with the
beverage dispensers is that the tendency, when they
are half full or less, is for them to suck air. And
the nozzle you have to flip into the top in order to
drink has a tendency to stay in place and aSlow them
to suck air, which gives you a mixture of half beverage

and half air, and that's not good. Okay, seasoning

dispensers - I don't use the salt much. It tends to
bounce off the food a lot. It doesn't taste very
good. I think that needs work. The eating utensils
are fine. The sleep restraint, I think, is an excel-
lent thing. The only improvement I would make to it
at all is to put an additional elastic strap lower
down. You wouldn't have to use it if you didn't
want to, but I think it would be handy. The trash
airloek: so far, so good. It's easy to use, with
the exeption of closing and locking the doors is
almost a two-man Job, because of the forces required
to compress the seal. Its reliability, of course,
remains to be seen. The vacuum cleaner, fortunately,
I haven't had to use. I have never liked it. I don't
think it sucks enough, but I haven't used it on the
flight. And the wardroom table for non-eating uses.
The only non-eating use that I've put it to, aside
from just sitting there reading pads, is making notes,
and it's quite adequate for making notes. You don't
need a flat surface. So all you need is the re-
straint - something to lean your elbows on so you
can exert pressure with your pencil. And that's it
for 487-3.
