LMP-EVA: No, I'm - I feel good. *** know how good I look.
CDR-EVA: Hey, Houston. I think the ant - the sha - the antenna is aligned and pointing at you.
CDR-EVA: And it's level, believe it or not.
CC: And, Charlie, Deke says you don't look any better than normal.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) If the boss says that, I agree with him; yes, sir.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. We're going to push the shorting switch.
CDR-EVA: Okay, the amps go to zero on the ga_e. Is that what they're supposed to do?
CDR-EVA: And switch 1 is going clockwi - switch 1 is going clockwise. Switch 5 is going counterclockwise.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. The top of the core - deep core has got cap number A.
CC: Okay, deep core, cap A. And, John, we've got a good ALSEP.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, I knew it was a good one. Gee whiz. Okay, I'11 ... the LSM here.
LMP-EVA: Well, you can't believe it, Tony, but that beauty is coming out.
CC: Outstanding. And we've proved the lever princi- ple again.
LMP-EVA: Yep.
LMP-EVA: ... Hey, I've learned something. Let the suit do the work for you.
LMP-EVA: Oh, this is a beauty.
CC: Looks like it's a good thing we had that jack.
LMP-EVA: I think so. I think maybe John and I'd have been able to pull it out, but it would have been a battle.
CC: Hey, Charlie, take it easy. Let's rest for a minute.
LMP-EVA: Okay, how's the old heartbeat?
CC: You're up to about 140.
UNKNOWN: Okay. Doesn't feel like hard work. Still can't pull that beauty out. I got it out 6 feet.
CC: Ok_ r, Ken, you got about a couple of minutes to go before the terminator photos.
CMP: Okay, I'm getting set up now, trying to get myself oriented to the best window. I tell you, I know it's not supposed to make any difference that if you're going backwards or not, but it sure does.
CMP: Okay. There's Albategnius, and he's got a nice Cayley floor and a whole bunch of the - like a concentric ring, but I can't - Yeah, by golly, there's a concentric ring in that thing just like there is in the mare. And - It goes most of the way around. Some places it's overlain with the - like the crater Klein hides it.
CMP: Okay. The - the floor of Alphonsus is still quite shadowed.
CC: Okay, Ken, and we're coming up on a site handover. We may lose comm for a second!
CMP: Hank, are you still here?
LMP: Okay, looking at Alphonsus, I'd say that there's this a - well, you can see this obvious little band that we talked about that runs north and south through there. And that's an entirely different texture than what you see on the material on either side of it. But it is the same on either side. Looking from north to south, I don't see anything that's - I can really call - I couldn't - that says there's any topographic relief going from south to north. There's no demarcation that's evident that's different at all. Although there is some of this material that's in the south that runs towards the crater center that does, indeed, look like it might - might be tapering down and thinning out. I'11 come back to that in just a minute. Let me pick up Davy.
CMP: Well, I tell you. We aren't going to get Davy on this pass either.
CC: Still in the shadows?
CMP: Sure is. You can just see the shadows run - oh, gosh, I'd say a - *** er of a - a quarter of a crater diameter of the size of Ptolemaeus out. And it goes to just about where - Davy G isn't obvious. I think I've got Davy G, but that's not - not obvious that I can. And- and then the rest of it just disappears. Even the central peak in Albatrajious [sic] doesn't show.
CC: I wouldn't have expected that one.
CMP: No, no. Neither would I. Well, another day.
CMP: Hey, and, Henry, the frame number on magazine SS is now 25.
CC: Roger; copy 25.
LMP: Okay, I'11 get a lil - canister change.
CC: Casper, Houston. The rate in your Flight Plan about not starting until 121:05 is still good.
CMP: Okay, Henry. Thank you, sir.
CC: Casper, Houston. Forgot to ask you. Did you see anything on that last back-side pass that's worthy of commenting on?
CMP: No, sir; I did not. I didn't even get my head out of the cockpit.
CC: Casper, Houston. We are about 2 minutes from LOS and everything is looking good. If you don't have anything else, we'11 see you on the other side.
CMP: Okay, Hank. And, I'm all set up to take the Gum Nebula, and I've checked the star patterns, and they all work out just fine. So, I'11 see you at AOS.
CC: Good show. (NO COMM FOR 40 MINUTES)
CC: Casper, ... wide on HIGH GAIN.
LMP-EVA: John, is that going to be all right next to that rock?
CDR-EVA: I don't have any idea, Charlie. Sure hope so, be- cause there ain't much other place to put it. If it ain't next to the rock, it's going to be in that hole right next to it.
LMP-EVA: Yes, I see what you mean.
CDR-EVA: This isn't the world's greatest place to - deploy an ALSEP. I'11 tell you that.
CC: John, how far are you from that rock?
CDR-EVA: It's about - 3 feet. You want to move it farther than that? How far do you want to be? I'11 pick it up and move it.
CC: Okay. We're thinking about that.
CC: John, I guess they would like you to try to move it away from that rock and - on the distance, just as - Just as far as you can without getting - getfing it in trouble there - Jerking it around.
CDR-EVA: Okay, can I pick it up by its ... ? If I promise to be real careful with it?
CC: Okay. They have reevaluated the whole thing and decided since you left it they guess they didn't want it very badly, and they said just leave it where it is; it looks fine.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I - I can probably get down on my knees and get - it's underneath its little box - -
CC: And, Charlie.
CDR-EVA: - - but it's level, and -
CC: On that hole, there, instead of putting the r_mmer- jammer down it, I guess we would like to put the second heat flow probe down the hole and then meas- ure it with the rammer-Jammer, how far it went, and just leave the heat flow probe in the hole. Did - does it reach over there?
LMP-EVA: The probe?
CC: That's right, the heat flow probe.
LMP-EVA: Or the - no, I don't think it will reach, Tony.
CC: Okay, then, just go ahead and measure the hole.
LMP-EVA: Y'all going to give up on the heat - are you going to give up on the heat flow?
CC: Well, we'11 probably have to; haven't got a firm - firm decision, yet.
LMP-EVA: I'd like to save that stuff until - you m_ke a firm decision.
CC: Okay. Well, by putting it down in the hole, they were going to use it for heat flow hole.
LMP-EVA: I'd rather drill one. I don't think it'11 reach. I'11 try it, but -
CDR-EVA: Okay. The L - the LSM is level and aligned. The Sun is right in the middle of the - the shadow.
CC: Okay. We copy that, John. Very good.
CDR-EVA: I mean the Sun is right in the middle of the align- ment marks.
LMP-EVA: How about that, Tony?
CC: Outstanding!
LMP-EVA: Did you see that?
CC: I'd say the hole stayed open. 80/3 Tape
LMP-EVA: That - that - Ail the way down, I just dropped the rammer into it - it just fell in.
LMP-EVA: Look at that.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Charlie. We're about ready to go with the geophones here.
LMP-EVA: Wait a minute. I got the most beautiful thing here. I got to pick this up - before I lose it.
CC: Blow on it.
CDR-EVA: What did you say, Tony?
LMP-EVA: Yeah. I was going to.
CDR-EVA: Come on, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: I'm coming. Let me put this over here.
LMP-EVA: Tony, on the rim of that little crater, as I walked through there, there was a - underneath the rego- lith, there was a white area. I kicked up some very white soil, about 3 centimeters down.
LMP-EVA: And I forgot the camera.
CDR-EVA: Bringing it. Hey, Charlie. I got it.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'11 get it; let me have it.
CDR-EVA: Whoa, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Huh? How's that?
CDR-EVA: Watch out for those cables.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I am (laughter).
CDR-EVA: That's - that's pretty good.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. I - I put the - stuffed the geophones stake in, by Just pushing on it about - oh - about - a foot. You - y'all better think about that two-tenths cone penetration; it stopped 10. It looks like the 5 would be the best all the way out. I think I '11 just go right up to the hilt with it, too.
CDR-EVA: Watch out, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I was Just waiting to get the - dumb heat thing.
LMP-EVA: Dumb things just stand up - the wires - everything Just stands up off the ground about 6 foot - 6 inches here.
CDR-EVA: Boy - never thought of that - we should - we should - we never thought of that.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I got it.
CDR-EVA: This is gonna be the trick of the week. Get it, Charlie. Not only does he have the geophone in - in the ground, he's got it buried in the ground.
LMP-EVA: Super. Okay. This is going to be a lot easier than carrying that big - other backpack.
CDR-EVA: Keep an eye on this, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: I got you. I got you.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Now I'm going out and parallel these tracks.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Let me m_ke sure - -
CDR-EVA: You want the hammer?
LMP-EVA: No, go ahead. I just want to - -
CDR-EVA: You don't need the h_w_er - we don't need the hsmmer.
CDR-EVA: The other stake is over there.
LMP-EVA: Oh, okay. In the - in the - the pallet?
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'11 get it. Sounds like the camera remode- lng.
CDR-EVA: Yeah. Make sure that it's not pulling too hard on that wire back there.
LMP-EVA: No, it's great, John.
CC: Yeah, Charlie. I think you need a camera.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, I'm going to get one. I'11 go run get it now.
CDR-EVA: No, Charlie. Watch and see where this line comes out.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'd better do that, Tony. I'11 get the camera.
LMP-EVA: Just a minute. Okay?
LMP-EVA: We know we need a - Okay. You're walking a little bit sideways, John; you're pulling against it with your left side. There you go. Looking good, John. The geophone's still in, and the stake is looking good. Going great.
CDR-EVA: Trouble is, a guy - the average guy doesn't realize how far 100 meters is.
CDR-EVA: Especially me.
CC: Roger; 2 inches at a time like that, it's a long way.
LMP-EVA: Ah, the footprints in the Moon. Can't believe it.
CC: Ah, that's all right. They'11 probably erode away in about 4 billion years.
LMP-EVA: The regolith -
CDR-EVA: What's that, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: What's what?
CDR-EVA: That thing hanging up there?
LMP-EVA: No, it's okay. Man, that's a long way, John. Stake is still up.
LMP-EVA: Keep going. Okay, there's a double one.
CDR-EVA: There's a double one.
LMP-EVA: There's a double one. Run around, and get in front of you here.
CDR-EVA: There they come.
LMP-EVA: There they come.
CDR-EVA: Here we are.
LMP-EVA: Okay, here we are.
CDR-EVA: Okay. That's right - We have to put that in before we put the stake in.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, I can't do it - anything till I get that in.
CDR-EVA: Come on. Guess what? Beautiful, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Okay, that one's buried too, Tony.
CDR-EVA: Charlie, buried the geophones.
LMP-EVA: Pull it out this way.
CDR-EVA: It pulled out this way.
CDR-EVA: No, that's right.
LMP-EVA: No, you want it this way, don't you?
CDR-EVA: No, that's right. That's right.
CDR-EVA: Not so hardl
LMP-EVA: Why?
CDR-EVA: Liable to cut the line.
LMP-EVA: Oh no, it's all right. You're probably about to. You're all right.
CDR-EVA: Get the flag open, so we can see it.
LMP-EVA: Yeah. Sorry. Okay. I'm going to get a camera. You all set?
LMP-EVA: Watch out. You got it crooked, John. Whoop. Right here on this side, your right.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, Okay. Thank you.
CDR-EVA: Tb_nk you.
LMP-EVA: Yes, sir. About to get it again. There you go. Okay. The stake's holding fine. Adios.
CDR-EVA: Adios.
CDR-EVA: It's a far cry from that -
LMP-EVA: Hey, John. You got to wait. They got to change out your air hose.
LMP-EVA: Where's the - Hey, Tony, where is the Bendix air compressors?
CC: It doesn't look right with them not out there.
CDR-EVA: I'11 tell you this 1/6 gravity feels a lot better.
LMP-EVA: Tony, when I first started with that jack, I thought the thing - The ground was so soft, I thought the thing had failed like it did in the last training, but it had not. It just worked great.
UNKNOWN: How about that pace, huh?
LMP-EVA: Dadgu_uit.
CDR-EVA: Well, I'11 say one thing - the force to deploy this thing I can sense is exactly the same as it was in one g - and I keep wondering when the power wire is going to bust.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. I have LMP's camera.
UNKNOWN: The back of the bottom of the bit is with - Bravo - and I'm going back out and take some pictures.
LMP-EVA: John has disappeared over the horizon_
LMP-EVA: Hey, John. How about an EMU status check? Your - you pulled out your pin on your purge valve.
CDR-EVA: I'm - doin g okay - 70 - 50, 60, 70, 3 percent is what I read.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Well you must - you still must be locked. Your pin's out - I'11 put - I picked it up, and we'11 put it back - it's under your seat.
LMP-EVA: Right next to the Rover.
CDR-EVA: Well, we'11 get it.
LMP-EVA: Hey, you out there?
CDR-EVA: Yeah, I'm out here. Wait a minute until I stick up the flag.
UNKNOWN: Okay. All ALSEP taken at f/11, 1/250.
CDR-EVA: I guess that's a pretty straight line, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Looks straight to me, John. Okay, here's your picture.
CDR-EVA: Wait a minute. I haven't got the flag up.
CC: Charlie, we'd like you - -
UNKNOWN: Tony, there's a -
CC: - - to put John's pin back in.
LMP-EVA: All right, I'11 go get it; just a moment.
LMP-EVA: Man, that sky is black.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Houston. Ready for the first AI_EP - it's set on zero; we'11 go to I - ready for the first geophone to fire. Are you all set for that, Houston?
LMP-EVA: Tony, the PSE skirt has some dust kicked on it, on the north side a little bit -
CDR-EVA: Blow it off, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Oh, I can't do that.
CC: Okay. I guess we're going to have to have you stand still for a little bit here while we cali- brate something. While you're doing that, how about an EMU check, and did you get that pin back in?
CDR-EVA: I'm 100 yards from Charlie.
CDR-EVA: That's 100 meters. 3.85 is - I'm on - I'm between MINIMUM and INTERMEDIATE on the cooling. I got 73 percent and no flags. You want me to run on back to Charlie and get that?
CDR-EVA: It must have pulled out on the geophone somehow. Where did you pick it up, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Right next to your - to Rover.
CDR-EVA: Huh!
CC: Okay, John. We're ready for the thumper.
CDR-EVA: You sure it isn't yours.
LMP-EVA: No, it's yours.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. I got 60 percent. I'm all clear, my pressure gage is - on the flags, my pressure gage is 3.8.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Charlie. Hold still.
LMP-EVA: I'm still.
CDR-EVA: 4, 3, 2, 1 - 80/11 Tape
CDR-EVA: FIRE. Ha, ha, ha. Look at that.
CDR-EVA: Number 2, Houston. 4, 3, 2, 1, fire. No, let me try that again.
CDR-EVA: 4, 3, 2, 1 -
CDR-EVA: FIRE, fired. Okay, Charlie.
CC: Hey, John. We got an outstanding signal here; it looks great !
CDR-EVA: Okay. It's shaking the ground. Number 3, Houston.
LMP-EVA: I'm steady.
CDR-EVA: FIRE.
CC: Roger: You got a beauty there, John.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Charlie.
CDR-EVA: Number 4, Houston.
CC: Charlie, when you get a minute there, we got a couple of questions.
CC: We would like for you to look at the end of that heat flow cable that was broken off and tell us how far from the heat central station it broke, and also describe the end of the broken cable - if you can get that in between when John's walking.
LMP-EVA: Hey, John. Stand by a minute, let me stand up here.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Charlie, Number 5, Houston. You ready to go still, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: No, wait a minute. Let me get up, and then I'11 hold still. Okay, go ahead.
CDR-EVA: Sound doesn't travel too good in a vacuum. I don't hear a thing, but it jumped. Okay, Charlie, I'm going to the next station now.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, the - I'm going to be still, John, so you Just go ahead.
CDR-EVA: Okay, number 6.
CDR-EVA: 5, 3, 2, 1 -
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, the cable is broken off right at the connector. And it's - I can - there's about an inch and a half of silver material right in my hand at the end of the broken piece, and, as I look at the cable, it's right at the - the connector, rather; it's right at the connector - broken off right there. Over.
CDR-EVA: Number - number 7, Houston. 80/i3 Tape
CC: How does the connector look? Is there any-damage on it ?
LMP-EVA: Tony, there's no damage on the connector. Over.
CDR-EVA: Number 8, Houston.
CDR-EVA: Okay. An I holding still long enough?
CDR-EVA: Number 9, Houston.
LMP-EVA: Tony, as I look up to Smoky Mountain, you can see more - large blocks up on the flank of Smoky Mountain. It, on the face, it's the side next to the south, the North Ray Crater.
CDR-EVA: Number 10, Houston.
CDR-EVA: Hey, Tony, did you get my question about am I holding still long enough?
CC: Yes, you're holding still long enough.
LMP-EVA: Are you moving, John?
CDR-EVA: Houston, do you want - answer me, do you want me to do one by the geophone, or do I skip that one? The central geophone? There's a white thing by it.
CC: The one right by the central geophone; yes, we do want.
CC: The one we don't want is the next one around the cable.
CDR-EVA: Ye ah , okay. I remember now.
LMP-EVA: Wait a minute, John.
CC: Okay, we're sure getting good signals here, John.
CDR-EVA: Okay. The next one we skip because it has got a black wire on it.
CDR-EVA: Hey, number 12, Houston.
LMP-EVA: Number 13, Houston.
LMP-EVA: It's firing, Babe, I'11 tell ya.
CDR-EVA: Good. Getting me all dirty.
CC: Great. Not great it's getting you all dirty, great it' s working.
LMP-EVA: Okey, Tony, one of the lit - one of the arms of the I_M, when I pull the sunshade, the arm to the northwest - does not lock.
CDR-EVA: Well, lock it, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: How do you do that? By pushing down?
CC: Charlie, they don't lock.
CDR-EVA: No, it doesn't lock. They don't lock.
LMP-EVA: But I can't unravel this sunshade; it pulls up the arms. Go ahead.
CC: Okay, if you - if you can't get that out there - -
CDR-EVA: Number 14.
CC: - - just leave the sunshade down.
CDR-EVA: Okay, 4, 3, 2, 1 -
CDR-EVA: Number 15, Houston.
CC: Charlie, I guess we'd just like you to leave the sunshade alone; let's - just let it hang there.
LMP-EVA: I got it. It was wrapped around - a couple of times. I didn't touch the little bit level. It's okay.
LMP-EVA: Wait a minute, John. Okay.
CDR-EVA: Okay, number 16, Houston.
CDR-EVA: Okay, number 17, Houston.
LMP-EVA: Just a minute, John.
CDR-EVA: Ready, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Yeah, go ahead.
CDR-EVA: Okay, number 17 again, Houston.
CC: And, Charlie, while you're taking the pictures and all, verify the area around the central station is policed up.
UNKNOWN: Okay, I will.
CDR-EVA: Number 18, Houston.
CC: And We're still getting good signals.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Coming up on the last one. And I see the black thing; skipping that one. Going up here by the central station. The 5 at the white line next to the first geophone.
CC: Okay, and, after you fire this one, we'd like you to stand still until we give you the go.
LMP-EVA: Wait a minute, John. Okay. Go ahead.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. Last one.
CDR-EVA: 4, 3, 2, 1-
CC: Okay. You can go.
CDR-EVA: They got to be kidding.
CDR-EVA: Was the signal reverberating that long?
CC: Right. It really rings down.
LMP-EVA: Ail finished. Good show. Tony, ain't there some way we can fix that heat flow?
CC: Looks pretty bad there, Charlie. We - we suggest you just not worry about it there. You got a good ALSEP, and the other experiments are working fine.
LMP-EVA: Well, that - all those hours. Okay. We got all the pictures except for the ones John's supposed to take of the mortar package. And I'm skipping the heat flow ones. And we're up to magazine - we're 100 - 102 on - 101 on magazine Alfa.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm going to get the hockey stick, John.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I'm going ... clockwise here to mate the beast.
CC: Okay, Charlie. Do you have that pin in John's suit yet?
LMP-EVA: I'm going to get it right now.
LMP-EVA: Coming - coming your way.
CC: Roger. Seeing you coming.
LMP-EVA: What's the - what's the heart rate when I'm going like this, Tony?
CDR-EVA: About 10.
CC: Okay, you're going about 110 right now.
LMP-EVA: Am I? Thank you.
CDR-EVA: Well, what's mine?
CC: John, you're about 80.
CDR-EVA: That figures.
LMP-EVA: See that right there, Tony?
CC: Yep, sure do.
CDR-EVA: Okay, the old central station is all cleaned up.
CC: Good Job.
CDR: Ail the junk is gone somewheres.
LMP-EVA: Did you see what I held just in front of the camera, Tony?
CC: Yeah, we sure did.
LMP-EVA: It was a solid piece of glass, spherical, and part of it's broken away, but it really - really most unique piece of glass I've ever seen in all the samples. I think -
CC: Outstanding, Charlie. I thought you had the ball on that OPS or that purge key.
LMP-EVA: No, it's a solid piece of glass.
CC: Fantastic.
LMP-EVA: And it was right out here by the drill.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Charlie. I'm going to deploy this -
LMP-EVA: Okay, wait a minute. Let me get this thing in, and I'11 go back and start on that heat flow. I mean the - Can you step away so I don't get these cables?
CDR-EVA: What is it you want to do?
LMP-EVA: I got to get this in.
CDR-EVA: Oh. Gosh, it is in, isn't it? Can you see it?
CDR-EVA: How did I do it is what I'd like to know. Manual dexterity test of the year. I'11 bet - -
LMP-EVA: Okay, it's in.
CDR-EVA: I'11 bet I - when I undid my seatbelt, I pulled it off.
LMP-EVA: Probably.
CDR-EVA: I'11 bet you 100 dollars.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. That is back in - in the commander.
LMP-EVA: These Rover tracks are amazing. They just barely -
LMP-EVA: Oh, heck. Gah.
CDR-EVA: My gosh, Houston. Even though we were over the hill, the thing is within about a foot of being lined up.
CDR-EVA: And for the geophones to be in the same line, it'11 have to go with a Sun angle of 3, 33.
CDR-EVA: I need the thumper pack. Excuse me.
LMP-EVA: Boy, that beauty almost didn't want to come loose, Tony. But we got it.
CC: Charlie, what was the cap on the bottom end? We missed that.
LMP-EVA: Baker.
LMP-EVA: It's all full, Tony.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Bravo -
LMP-EVA: Delta and Baker on the bottom.
LMP-EVA: You're losing a little bit out of the third sec- tion here. Get the cap on.
LMP-EVA: And Echo is on the bottom of the third section. Over.
CDR-EVA: Man, the trick of the week, getting this wrench off of here.
LMP-EVA: Am I in focus right here, Tony?
CC: Yeah, you look fine.
LMP-EVA: That's amazing; that camera is so good.
CC: The lens must be like a pinhole camera.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, okay. I'11 go put these stobs, these cores, back out there.
CDR-EVA: And I'm unable to get one of the legs of the mortar package deployed here for some reason.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. Do you want me to save the drill?
CC: Ye_a, why don't you just leave it setting [sic] there?
LMP-EVA: In case you guys come up with something?
CDR-EVA: Boy, am I filthy.
LMP-EVA: Okay, John, I'm going to start configuring over here for some geology.
LMP-EVA: And I'11 - -
CDR-EVA: Be there as soon as I can, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: - - put your bags on and et cetera, et cetera.
CDR-EVA: Houston, I can see why I can't deploy this third leg, but I - I can't seem to do anything about it. Would you take two out of three legs?
LMP-EVA: You want me to come help, John?
CDR-EVA: Well, Charlie, it's a question - I can't get this gear around this angle in here. It's Just - I mean I don't know how it got the way it is, but unless I got it around the angle, it won't deploy.
CC: Which leg was it, John?
CDR-EVA: The third leg on the mortar pallet. Will you take three out of four?
CC: Well, if it won't come out, I guess we're stuck with it.
CDR-EVA: Well, I don't see anyway with my gloves and - if I took my gloves off, I could get it out, but I ain't going that far.
CC: Okay, we'11 just go with three, John.
LMP-EVA: Sure I can't help, John?
CDR-EVA: No, there's nothing we - nothing you can do unless we could pull it. It won't come out, and there is no way to pull it without a - hmm_ pair of pliers - without a screwdriver.
LMP-EVA: No, we ain't got one of those.
CDR-EVA: No, three out of four will work.
LMP-EVA: By golly, they ought to be satisfied with that. They ... go with that - -
CC: Yes, John, we're satisfied with three. Let's Just go with that.
CDR-EVA: Okay. And going in the ground at 333.
CDR-EVA: Okay. The mortar pallet is in and flat, and the level is still, no.
CDR-EVA: Shoot, it's to now about 3 - between - 330.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. I'm going to get a couple of grab samples out here in front of the Rover about 15 feet. Look like typical rocks that are in this area. One of them - they're mostly dust covered here, but I can pick up a couple that are whitish, and I'11 get a couple of cross-Suns before.
CC: Sounds good, Charlie.
CDR-EVA: Okay. The mortar package is in place - oh, dear. The - the mortar package - the pallet is level. The mortar package is not quite level; it's just off the edge of being level.
CC: Okay. Understand. The bubble is free of the case, though?
CDR-EVA: Yes_ it is.
CDR-EVA: Reasonably enough.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I'm going to raise the rad - radio antenna - red flag.
CDR-EVA: And it's up.
CC: Charlie, you might want to slow down a little bit.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, I am. My problem was I fell down - and with this camera on, it's hard to get up. I'm okay.
CDR-EVA: I can't believe how full of holes this place is - a general comment. You got the camera, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: No, it's on the central station.
CDR-EVA: Oh, yes. I remember the last time we put it on the central station, the thing collapsed, and then you left it over at the ear.
LMP-EVA: Okay, bag 351, Tony, has got a - a grab sample.
CC: Okay, and, John, after - -
LMP-EVA: And, I wouldn't even take an after for you - you'11 never -
CC: After taking pictures of the mortar package there, we would like a picture of that last thump imprint.
CC: I'm sorry, Charlie. Go ahead.
LMP-EVA: Oh, my first rock. Houston, I was just saying my first rock - even though I had to fall down to get it.
LMP-EVA: Tony, I'm taking this lens brush and cleaning off this camera.
CDR-EVA: Charlie, this camera here is kind of dusty.
LMP-EVA: Well, I think it's just the outside. I looked at the lens; it looked clean.
CDR-EVA: Yes, I think this one -
LMP-EVA: Hey, the lens in this one is clean, too; good.
CDR-EVA: I can't believe this - this dirt.
CDR-EVA: Okay. What settings do you want on that, Houston?
CC: Cross-Sun on it. Normal cross-Sun.
CDR-EVA: You want a stereopair?
CC: That'd be fine.
UNKNOWN: (Cough) .... old orange juice went down wrong.
CDR-EVA: Boy - -
LMP-EVA: Tony, I'm going over to this crater and get you some of this white soil. I think it is coming off of this rock here, but it looks like caliche. I never thought I'd use that word up here, but that's what the coating looks like. Right here. Right here.
CDR-EVA: Let me see that.
UNKNOWN: Come and look at it, John. It might be just a total white rock; it - The cross-Sun, oh, man, are your settings going to be something terrible.
CDR-EVA: Where did you see it?
LMP-EVA: See it - right there.
CDR-EVA: Yeah. Now we've had a bag failure - already; that thing. The little pull tab came off; we can still use it, though.
LMP-EVA: Here, hold this for me.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Charlie, you got my camera?
LMP-EVA: Yeah, and it's filthy. Get a little shovel - shovelful of that stuff.
CDR-EVA: Gosh, Charlie, it does look like caliche.
LMP-EVA: Doesn't it look like caliche?
CDR-EVA: Yeah, but it's just a bunch of white frags, I believe.
LMP-EVA: I'm going to get this rock here, too.
CDR-EVA: Put that in there?
LMP-EVA: No, go ahead. I'11 get another bag for that.
CDR-EVA: I feel ill-equipped to help you here.
CDR-EVA: Okay, that - sample of white material is going in bag 355, Houston.
CC: Okay, bag 355.
LMP-EVA: Okay, John, I got your pictures.
CDR-EVA: Charlie, what are you doing with the dirt? You just threw it all over yourself.
LMP-EVA: I didn't mean to - the rock fell out.
CDR-EVA: You got to clean off your lens - my lens before we can start here.
LMP-EVA: No, I cleaned it off already.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. It's a white matrix in this rock with some clasts - it's a one-rock breccia. One of the clasts just fell out. But it really looks like a caliche matrix. Sort of friable.
LMP-EVA: I'm - What do you mean, "Come on?"
CDR-EVA: Oh - What do you want to do with these samples?
LMP-EVA: Put them in this HTC right here.
CDR-EVA: Okay. This number 2 one?
LMP-EVA: Yeah. That's the one that's going on somebody's back.
LMP-EVA: It's got the core tubes in it, so it probably goes on your back.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. The geology config here.
LMP-EVA: How are we doing on the time line, Tony?
CC: Okay. You're just about right on.
LMP-EVA: Okay. This white rock - that I picked up is in bag 373.
CC: Okay, 373.
LMP-EVA: It really works when you spin them up, Tony; it's great.
LMP-EVA: Okay, John. I got to change the mag on my camera. Can you give it to me?
LMP-EVA: What are you going to do - clean me off? Or clean off the old camera?
CDR-EVA: Naw, I gonna clean up the camera. Wait a second; let me put this down - down right here. Okay. i - I wanted to clean the camera off, too. Get that dust out of there, or we'11 never get the mags in. Okay.
LMP-EVA: Hey, thanks. How about cleaning yours off too - yours I got really filthy - -
CDR-EVA: Did you change your mag off - on it?
LMP-EVA: Huh? No, just dust it off. Can you get my gloves a minute, John?
CDR-EVA: Can I get your gloves?
LMP-EVA: Just clean them a minute. There you go - Just to get that loose stuff off.
LMP-EVA: Okay, that's good; thank you.
LMP-EVA: Hey, Tony. Magazine Alfa is going out with ll0.
CDR-EVA: Now me.
LMP-EVA: Dust everywhere, John.
CDR-EVA: That - that's what they say, all right.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Magazine Golf is going on at frame count 2.
CC: Okay, Golf, 2.
CDR-EVA: Not a bit on the lens, though.
CDR-EVA: Fantastic.
LMP-EVA: Third blow, Tony.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Golf runs.
LMP-EVA: Every_thing's looking good.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Charlie, which bag do you want?
LMP-EVA: I got to get - there's a set of bags over here.
CDR-EVA: Okay, 65, 6, 7, or 8 setting there. I'11 get you one.
LMP-EVA: I'11 get them - they're already - I got to load you up.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Did you get these cap dispensers - You don't need - We don't need those, do we?
LMP-EVA: I put them in there on the - I think we got two core tubes.
CDR-EVA: That big - that big rock right there is a breccia - look at all those clasts in there.
LMP-EVA: I know it - most of them in here are breccias.
LMP-EVA: I picked up one.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, that's about a two-rock breccia there.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I see you on this side. John, you know you lost your little plate? Tony, on that one bag dispenser - that - on John's camera - the little ring came off of it, and the bags are just dangling loose, but we'11 be able to use it still.
CDR-EVA: Oh, man. Look at that.
LMP-EVA: What? Look at what?
CDR-EVA: Come here and help me get this bag up here.
LMP-EVA: Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you wanted me to look at something.
CDR-EVA: It would be easier to do that without the - You fall down, Charlie? 80/29 Tape
LMP-EVA: Yeah, I fell down. Sorry.
CDR-EVA: I believe it.
LMP-EVA: I'm filthy, huh?
CDR-EVA: Yeah, can you - can you bend over very much?
LMP-EVA: Yeah. There we go. How's that?
CDR-EVA: If you'11 - We got to walk this way a little here, so I can bend over without bumping into the Rover ...
LMP-EVA: That's what Z tried to do, and that's when I fell down.
LMP-EVA: Let's see, the area is pretty well policed up over there. I'11 - when I come back to get the core tubes, I'11 pick it up.
CDR-EVA: I can do that good, too.
LMP-EVA: It's a good place to do the Grand Prix out - out here - you could polevault yourself right over to Stone.
LMP-EVA: In fact, Tony - looking up-Sun towards the eastern part of Stone Mountain, you cannot see those lineations, but, as we look across-Sun those lineations are there - -
CDR-EVA: Can you bend over some, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Yeah, and they - they trend sort of upslope to the northwest, or to the - -
CC: Yeah, it's funny. It turns the same as Hadley.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, it does exactly. And it goes right up over the ridge, a ridge line and back down the ridge - the one with - the one that's got Cinco craters on it, and then back down into the ridge where -
CDR-EVA: Boy, Charlie, it's - looks like we could just - Smoky and Stone Mountain look like they're 10 feet away from us.
LMP-EVA: I know it. You'd Just run right over there.
LMP-EVA: The thing wouldn't stay on a minute ago; now it won't come off.
CDR-EVA: Now, you can't get it off.
LMP-EVA: Maybe if I unlock it. That might be the problem.
LMP-EVA: Turn around.
LMP-EVA: To your right. Other right. There you go. No, you're right. Okay. Now bend over. Now I got the strap. Stand by.
LMP-EVA: Just a moment.
LMP-EVA: Okay. You got it.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, our heading was 195. Hadn't changed.
LMP-EVA: Mounting up.
CC: Okay. We'd like a full set of readouts here, and we'd also like to verify that you have the - the front drive on bus A. DRIVE POWER.
LMP-EVA: FRONT DRIVE is on bus A and - yeah, I changed that back a while back.
CDR-EVA: Okay. We're going to MODE switch 1. Will that mess you up on getting this front-drive stuff?
CC: No, that's okay.
CDR-EVA: Houston, we're going to MODE 1. Okay? Okay?
LMP-EVA: Okay, do y'all want to be checked with before we do that, or you Just want to ge ahead and do it?
CDR-EVA: You ready to go, Charlie?
CDR-EVA: ... there.
CC: Okay, John. Our best guess is a heading of 274 for the first leg; 0.7 kilometers should take you past Buster there - and Just north of Spook.
UNKNOWN: Okay, babe. Here I come - the old Rover for the first time. Oops.
LMP-EVA: Man, am I sitting up in the airX
LMP-EVA: Did you get your seat belt done? John?
CDR-EVA: Yeah. Got it hooked to something, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Okay, wait a minute.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. You want the readings, right?
CDR-EVA: Or do you? We got 118 ampere-hours, batteries are up to - to 90 and 90. The - forward and rear motor temps are off-scale low; amps are zero; and the volts are 68. And we're on our way.
CC: Do you now have the NAV bearing and range.
CDR-EVA: Suppose we do. Okay. 3-33-033 is the bearing; the range is 0.1.
CDR-EVA: Hasn't changed any, has it?
LMP-EVA: No, it hasn't changed any.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. Looking off to the northwest there, you can see - see South Ray Crater with just tre- mendous amount of blocks on it with some black streaks, and here we go. Heading 274, John.
LMP-EVA: And it's going to be a piece of cake taking pic- tures from here, Tony. There's a big crater. There's about 10 meters off to your left there, John.
CDR-EVA: I see it, but -
LMP-EVA: A deepy one over here. Four clicks an hour Tony and -
CDR-EVA: Charlie, you hit my arm.
LMP-EVA: Excuse me.
CDR-EVA: I'11 end up in that big crater. So mad.
UNKNOWN: Okay at 043, at 0.2, just beyond the ALSEP, there are two twin craters; the biggest one's to the north, got blocks in it, up to 6 - 50 centimeters, and it's about 5 meters deep.
CDR-EVA: Say again what your best guess is to this thing?
CC: A heading of 274.
CDR-EVA: 74, huh?
LMP-EVA: Now one thing I can't do is see the map.
CC: Okay, I'm not sure that heading is good. That was based on an earlier estimate of where ALSEP was, and your bearing now may make that wrong. It's pretty much if you go west you are going to hit Spook.
CDR-EVA: That's what we're doing, going west. I'm not sure we didn't - I'm not sure that's not it right there, Charlie.
CDR-EVA: Right there. That couldn't be it, could it?
LMP-EVA: I don't see it. Man, this is the only way to go, riding this Rover.
CC: Right. Only way.
LMP-EVA: You can hear the motors going, Tony. Okay, we're still in this boulder field, on a heading of 300 now Just naviga - navigating around a couple of angular. craters, and they are very Ail of them look the same - these breccia clasts with a dark matrix with white clasts. Biggest one I've seen is about - oh, in the 12 o'clock position of the Rover, and we're 065.2 and it's - about a meter across. Tony, we seem to be riding across a ridge top that trends east-west. Off to the left, it drops off drastically, about maybe a 5- to 10-degree slope into a valley which is probably Hidden Valley.
LMP-EVA: And white - and north - and South Ray Crater is spectacular in our 10 o'clock position, and we're 072 s_ 0.3 now.
CC: Do you have the speed amps?
CDR-EVA: What did he say?
CC: Could we have the speed and the amps?
LMP-EVA: 0k_y, you're 5 -
CDR-EVA: We got to go around this, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Yeah, you're 5 kilometers an hour, and the amps are oscillating about between 10 and 20.
LMP-EVA: How's it driving, John? Pretty easy?
CDR-EVA: Darn good.
LMP-EVA: Hey, man. We could just go, babe. I'm really cinched into this - moose.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, but I don't know with these holes if we ought to do that or not.
LMP-EVA: This seatbelt is great. It seems to be taking it with no problem. We are at 6 kilometers an hour now, Tony, 0.4, still nothing new to report. Maybe more cobbles in this area now. In fact, there are. The regolith is more cobbly in appearance, still angular. Maybe 40 percent of the surface is covered with cobbles that are 10 cent imet ers.
CC: And we're right on the time line.
LMP-EVA: We see some Small fresh craters. Okay, meter size, that show some very fresh - at least, per- haps it's induration - indurated regolith. That's what it looks like, because it's - the little hard clods are the same inside the craters as on the rim.
CC: Okay. 80/35 Tape
LMP-EVA: At our 11 o'clock position, we're at 089 for 0.4. We have two very bright, small craters that are 2 - 3 meters across, and we see some whitish material down below in the walls of the craters there. They're about 25 meters off.
CC: Okay, Charlie. Those rocks that you collected - were they - were they all breccias, or could you tell?
LMP-EVA: I'm not sure, Tony. I think they were breccias, but they were sort of really dust covered, so I couldn't tell you, really.
CC: Okay, understand. And have you seen any rocks that are - you're certain aren't breccias?
CDR-EVA: Quit hitting my arml
LMP-EVA: Negative. I haven't seen any that I'm convinced is not a breccia.
LMP-EVA: Okay, We're going generally west now, and at our 1 o'clock position on a heading of 270 at a bearing of - we're 091 at 0.5 - we're in another predominant - another distinct ray field, ray pat - ray, let's say - boulder field. We sort of passed out of one, and we're in another one. And it's - we're getting the - Go ahead, John.
CDR-EVA: Think that to the south of us is Spook?
LMP-EVA: It could be.
CC: Roger. You should be just about - -
LMP-EVA: No, Spook's about - let's see - at 0.6, we should be at Spook, huh? Let's see. Spook is at 100 at 0.9. Not there yet. We're only 0.6, Tony. Okay. This ray field has the same pebbles and cobbles and some good secondaries here.
CC: Right, that s_mmary you got there, Charlie - -
LMP-EVA: John's just doing great driving - driving this moose.
CC: - - is the point by Buster; you should be coming up to the edge of Spook, the eastern edge of it.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Turn left, John, and let's go look at that - look down over there. Boy, Tony, there is some excellent little secondaries with the indurated regolith in them and on the rim. The biggest one is a couple of meters.
LMP-EVA: You know that might have been Spook right back there. That was a pretty big crater.
CDR-EVA: It sure was.
LMP-EVA: Right back there, John. Boy, it's really hard - There's an interesting rock. A layer - layered, really dust covered, like a regolith, I mean a - turn left, John. There's a crater over there, a big one.
CDR-EVA: Boy, that is a biggie.
LMP-EVA: That's it. That's got to be - and here - Buster's right over here, with blocks - some blocks around it, to my right.
LMP: Boy, that is a biggie. Okay s here is Spook and it's 089 at 0.7.
LMP-EVA: And that is a biggie (laughter).
CDR-EVA: We're not - we're looking - we're almost completely past it; we're not right even with it. Where'd you say Buster is?
LMP-EVA: I thought it was right over here, John.
CC: Is the rim of Spook -
LMP-EVA: Right straight ahead here. Negative, it's real subdued, Tony.
CC: Okay, do you see any ledges or anything in the area - inside the Spook?
LMP-EVA: No, we sure didn't. We're driving on, now. I think we're coming up on the rim of Buster, and we've got some - a real good boulder field around Buster.
LMP-EVA: With some frags that we'11 be able - that we'11 be able to get off. The biggest boulder's a meter - cobbles - it's real good for raking here. Here it is, John. That's it, Buster, there it is. Okay, in Buster, Tony, I can see some huge boulders in the bottom of that thing. Man, John.
CDR-EVA: That is a big crater.
LMP-EVA: How big is Buster, Tony?
CDR-EVA: 40 meters.
CC: About 40 meters.
LMP-EVA: That's bigger than Buster.
CDR-EVA: That's Buster, 50 meters. It's 150 feet, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Okay. That's Buster, then.
CDR-EVA: Yep, sure is.
LMP-EVA: And, Tony, we've got some - 5-meter boulders in the bottom of it. Some real big ones. The biggest, 5 meters, and the whole bottom is covered; we're going downslope now.
CC: Okay, there should be a scarp around there some- place.
LMP-EVA: That's going to be great, Tony. We'11 be at - Okay, we see it. Over to the - our 2 o'clock position, and it's - it - it looks like the rim of a crater, but I think it's a scarp.
CDR-EVA: What's the heading from here to - oh, man.
LMP-EVA: Okay, we want to head - just keep going west.
CDR-EVA: 26 something, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: We want to get 100 degrees at about point - that's station 2. Wait a minute; we Want 96 at 1.5. It's about 280. I'm about to freeze. I have to turn my water down. Okay, Tony. Most of the rocks that we've seen look Oreccias to me. We're making good time at about 7 kilometers an hour. Off to the right, what I thought was a scarp was - turned out to be a crater on the side of a ridge that runs east-west.
CDR-EVA: Driving down-Sun in zero phase is murder.
LMP-EVA: It is, isn't it?
CDR-EVA: It's really bad.
LMP-EVA: We're out to 089 at 1.0, Tony.
LMP-EVA: Can you - making great time, though. Okay, a2d in this area, the regolith is real smooth. The block - the - the cobble population is distinctly smaller and we're - eek! I hope that's Spook. How big is Spook, 300 meters? There it is, there's the Buster, I mean, there's Flag. We're here; you - you did it!
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) It sure is, isn't it?
LMP-EVA: We are here.
CC: Well, congratulations.
LMP-EVA: Okay, 088 at 1.0 is - Hey, we stop, John, about 40 meters from Plum.
CDR-EVA: Hey, now, I don't see Plum.
LMP-EVA: There it is, right there.
CDR-EVA: That's Plum?
CDR-EVA: I ain't even on the rim.
UNKNOWN: Well, it is; it's - yeah, it is, - it's right - we're - the rim is right here. We're on top of the rim.
LMP-EVA: Hey, stop. We're - it's going to be terrible walking on this thing. Why don't we go turn around and go back up on the rim where it's level?
CDR-EVA: Suits me.
LMP-EVA: This is a steep slope here. Okay, Tony. It didn't seem like there was that much distance between 300 meters since Flag. That's not 300 meters. Is that 300 meters right there?
CDR-EVA: Charlie, you got me. I can't tell.
CC: Okay. Could we have another range and bearing, please?
CDR-EVA: Okay. 087 at 1.1.
LMP-EVA: Well, that's a big crater anyway.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, it looks to me like we're due north of South Ray Crater right now. I can look down there, and I feel like I'm bisecting it. No, we're not due north of it, not according to shadow.
LMP-EVA: Get the map out here.
CDR-EVA: Okay, we'11 - Let's get off and start working.
LMP-EVA: Okay, it was 0.9 - it was 0.6 between Buster and - that's got to be Buster.
CDR-EVA: Right there, huh? That -
LMP-EVA: Okay -
CDR-EVA: That's a 40-meter crater.
LMP-EVA: Over here?
LMP-EVA: Yes; that's what I'm thinking.
CDR-EVA: It'11 do - not waste any more time thinking about it.
LMP-EVA: Okay, let's do it. Okay, Tony. We're going to call this Flag.
CDR-EVA: Let me park the thing - -
CDR-EVA: - - heading south. You want to get off?
LMP-EVA: No, go ahead.
LMP-EVA: It has all the characteristics - I don't - We must have landed -
CDR-EVA: Park it here.
CC: When you're brushing off the crew there, would you get the TV lens, please?
CDR-EVA: You bet.
LMP-EVA: I tell you, when you go to get on this thing, you better turn your cooling down or you'11 freeze.
CDR-EVA: Yes, should have gone to middle cooling.
LMP-EVA: Me too.
CDR-EVA: I forgot all about it. Okay.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. What we've got here is a - We think we're - Plum Crater is sitting right on the rim - on the outer rim of - Flag, and it's - what appears to me to be 200 meters - pretty big crater - we call Flag, and this is an identical spot for -
CDR-EVA: Another big one right back here ...
LMP-EVA: See that big one back up there that we called - This might be Halfway, this one right here. 80/41 Tape
CC: Ail right, our - -
CDR-EVA: This one here?
UNKNOWN: Yes, this one right here.
CC: Our measurements say that - -
CC: - - you should be pretty near Halfway. and
CDR-EVA: Okay, why don't we get back try some more, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Okay, I agree.
CDR-EVA: I did it again.
LMP-EVA: What.
CDR-EVA: Pulled out the thing. Get that for me, Charlie.
CDR-EVA: I know what it is - every time I plug - put the -
LMP-EVA: Belt on, huh?
UNKNOWN: Belt on, it pulls it - it tightens down the belt, it pulls my -
LMP-EVA: Can you push against me?
LMP-EVA: No, wait. Just stand up. Just - Let me get down- slope, and you get upslope.
CDR-EVA: Okay, be careful.
LMP-EVA: There it is. You're moving away from me. Can you prevent that? Okay, it's back in.
LMP-EVA: Man, it all looks the same, doesn't it?
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. Based on your knowledge of our position, give us - give us where you think Flag is.
CC: Okay. It looks like Plum Crater would be almost due west of you about 200 meters.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm hooked, John. Roger.
CDR-EVA: Well, I'm not.
LMP-EVA: You twisted a little bit. Turn it clockwise, cottnterclockwise - other way. There you go.
CC: I'd loop around halfway to the south.
LMP-EVA: That got it.
CDR-EVA: That's what we're doing.
LMP-EVA: I think that's what we're doing. It's pretty - we - we got a little depth-size problem here and I think we'11 figure it out here in a little bit.
LMP-EVA: And this - this crater here is probably South - correction, Halfway, with a smaller one on the side.
LMP-EVA: I tell you that is a bigger crater than that, though.
LMP-EVA: You in? Excuse me, John. Okay, we're underway again, Tony.
LMP-EVA: Can you go to the right, John? There's a pretty fresh batch, dead ahead. That's about a tenth of a kilometer across there, though; that's a big crater right there.
CDR-EVA: Ye_, I don't think it's a 300 meterer.
LMP-EVA: I feel real - faith in this thing; open her up a little bit.
CDR-EVA: I can't see where I'm going, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Here we go. Okay, Tony, we left that Halfway, and we're now en route to - Halfway and Buster looked about the same size. Is that right according to y'all's calculations?
CC: That's right, Charlie.
CDR-EVA: That's right, Charlie. Halfway - -
CC: That's just about right.
UNKNOWN: Okay, well, that's what that was - was Halfway.
LMP-EVA: John, it takes those little bumps - oh, it won't take that one, but it'11 take those little ones Just great.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, we're at 086, 1.2. We're coming into another block-ray field up ahead of us about 50 meters or so, with angular blocks. The area we have here now is almost cobblefree, except perhaps less than 1 percent of the surface.
CDR-EVA: Yes, it's clearing up.
LMP-EVA: And now we're - there's - there's another ray we're coming in out of South Ray, which definitely out of South Ray, you can see it trending right on in to South Ray.
CC: Casper, Houston. Could you bring up the HIGH GAIN - according to the Flight Plan?
CC: Hello; how's things going?
CMP: I been trying, Hank .... I don't know. That - that acquisition there wasn't as smooth as I thought it might be. I tried to get you using manual to tweak it up a little bit and that didn't seem to help much. Maybe I'm not helping at all, maybe I'm hurting.
CMP: I saw one thing that was - that was new about the zodiacal-light world. You don't realize that that stuff is actually reasonably bright until - you get yourself well dark-adopted then you sit up there long enough to recognize it. But almost - almost immediately after - oh, I'd say within - certainly within 5 minutes and maybe a little sooner after LOS, there was enough zodiacal light or solar corona - whichever is the proper technical name - that you could see a distinct horizon. And it Just got more distinct right up until sunrise. I never did see any prominences or anything like that. I kind of thought that maybe we would, but I guess those are too small a scale. But, Just prior to sunrise, you see a lot of long streaks and that's - well, I say Just prior - that's like just a few seconds before sunrise. All of a sudden, you get these very prominent rays coming out and then the Sun's right there. You don't want to be looking at that.

CMP: But it is right - right pretty to watch that stuff at night.
