Are you planning to a shov UB TV pictures of the earth today? wanted to that would be the moat interesting thing we can. shov you, but we - you know, we had trouble with the lens. UeU, that's good. All this procedure that I am going to give to you here is relative to vhat we hope are fixes to the lens and for looking out your rendezvous vindov at the earth, and all the angles and all that good gimbal stuff is based tovard looking out the windov at the earth rather than at the moon. Over.
UNKNOWN: First, unstow the red filte;, the polarizing filter, the red and blue filter holder, and some tape. Over.
UNKNOWN: Let me write this dove.
CC: Roger. I'd suggest that. I've got a vhole page full. i --T- ~_ -- __- - 04. d
CC: Tape the red filter to the telephoto Nright l Iells. That red filter is the 25A red filter, .x aot the one that la in the red and blue filter ilider.
CC: Attach telephoto lens to the camera.
CDR: We can figure out how to do that. Roger.' 04.
CC: Insure that the autauatic light control, the ALC switch on the camera, is in the IR position. Over.
CC: Roger. Attach camera to the adJustable TV bracket and attach the bracket to the TV n=mM.ng point on the c ommander's side of the hatch to point out rendezvous window nmber 2.
CDR: Roger. 04.
CC: There is a note here that says use dovetaIl on top of camera, rather than the side dovetail. Use'the dovetail on the top of th& camera for mount- ing to bracket and place the rocking nut on the bracket down, and down means toward your minus X direction.
CC: 04. They say this step I just got through giving you is somewhat complicated. You might want to get Page10 the cameras set up early using the instructions I gave you. just Uhen it,fr properly - - just gave you should end having the camera up looking out the vindov and about 30 degrees yaved left from your plus X-axis, so I suggest you get the camera set up that vay early; and ii there ue any problems, ccme back to us; ve vi11 talk them over. These mounting instructions are sort oi complicated. Roger. Over. gimbal angles pitch 224, yav 020, roll 270. Over.
CC: Roger. Rext, acquire on high-gain antenna, switch to AUTO tracks, nov best upon acquisition. Over.
CC: Q4. Yaw spacecraft left to get good viev of earth and your rendezvous window number 2. You ray have to pitch slightly as well, but primarily a left yaving maueuver to get a good viev of the earth. 9-e 11
CDR: Got it. close to your scan limits the high-gain for antenna, uo vhile you ue making the maneuver, check your lights. If your scan limit light canes on, you still have got 15 degrees to play vith. Rk the only message is, should you break lock, then you ue going to have to go back and reacquire and do that maneuver over again, because you sre going to be very close to the edge of your high- gain auteuua capability.
CC: 04. And then finally, nov that you have got the spacecraft over there, aim the c-era as required to include the earth snd the field of view, and do not touch the body of the lens vhile televising. Apparently, ii you put your hands on the lens itself, it causes electrical interferr *e. Over.
CDR: Okay. Ab camera and do not touch lens a :*e televising. cc tures using the ALC, it is inportant that you let the stabilize Sor at least 10 or 20 seconds, &mera to let the ALC do its thing. Stabilize for 10 to 20 seconds. !l'hank you.
