C: Continuing what I was debriefing about the booster, early in the flight. After we entered the darkness, at what I consider to be a distance of 1200 feet, I tried station-keeping with it, but the only thing I had to judge my distance from the booster at that time was the distance between the flashing lights. Occasionally they would - not occasionally, but continually, I would see one light, then two lights, and then one light, and then sometimes there'd be a long time before I'd see two lights -- indicating that the booster was rotating all the time. I really didn't have too much of a clue as to which way it was going. Based on the distance between the lights, when I could see both of them, I felt that I was in a real good position with it until we got to about Carnarvon. At that time I seemed to be closing rather rapidly, although I couldn't really be sure of this. All the AV I'd added up to that time had been in the direction of the booster, or retrograde. Unfortunately, the darned booster would get in position such that if I were going to close on it, I would have to apply a posi- grade to close, which then, in turn, caused me to once again depart from it after a period of time had gone by. _hen with the 45 - 40 minutes of darkness, I really had a difficult time telling where I was. As we came out of the darkness, the booster was below me and pulling sway From me quite rapidly. Ed, how far away below us do you think it was?
P: Oh, I don't know. I'd estimate it was probably out there a mile and a half or two.
P: It's very difficult to estimate when it gets to be that far.
C: It certainly was. I sort of felt that it was prob- ably between one and two miles, and I couldn't really tell how far out.
C: As the booster departed us, you could see the fuel spraying out of the roll nozzle. As the booster tumbled around, mostly in a plane that would be perpendicular to a line through the major axis of the spacecraft to the booster, you could see the long flowing tail that came out of it. I'm going to draw m short little picture of that on my flight plan. There was debris all over at spacecraft separation. We turned around and there were things all over the place. As a matter of fact, until we really got a good look at the booster, I really couldn't tell what was what. Fairings came off right at fairing jet with no problem. The horizon scanner fairings looked like them came off intact but I couldn't really tell because it disappeared out of sight so last. I didn't see the nose fair- ing come off at all.
C: I never did get an accelerometer bias to check on the platform. I was thrusting most of the time there, and unable to really settle the thing down of couple fcr any length time. We skipped a tape dumps I guess, because of the peculiar attitude that we were in. I could not contact Carnarvon very well on the first pass. It's a shame we didn't have a camera out right when we separated because .....
P: Boy! That was beautiful.
C: Nice. What? g?
P: Nc. That first view of that booster.
C: Oh yes. That was really nice, wasn't it?
P: That was beautiful.
C: _at was really nice all right.
C: Just the way it should have been.
P: Just exactly!
C: How far out do you think we were when we first saw it? I think we must have been at least 500 feet out when we first got around.
P: Oh, we were closer than that.
C: Do you think so?
P: Oh yes. I'd say we were in the neighborhood of .....
C: Remember, it's only ..... _ %: ! - , ; · ,
C: It's 130 feet long - the wh<!e thin_, I mean. Just as a reference, from tke pad t¢ cur spacecraft was anly abeut 13© feet lon 6.
P: I'd estimate we were out about a littie over 200 feet.
C: Think so?
C: Okay, I wculd estimate .....
P: Boy, it w_s sitting right out there!
C: ..... between five and six hundred feet, but certainly close enough where you could see it in all its clarity.
P: Going away and the tumbling was starting.
C: Right. It didn't take long for that tumbling to get going.
P: Interesting thing, though. The tumbling, really, as I could see, never appreciably picked up. It stayed there. It star%ed out .....
C: You know what it looked like to me?
C: It looked like it was tumbling in an oscillatory manner. It would tumble for a while and then it looked like, as it burped or the fuel came out or something, it would change its orientation and pull over in another way.
P: Yes, but it never seemed to go ..... I timed them ..... looked like .....
C: The rates ..... Yes, the total rate never really seemed to pick up good in whatever it was. What seconds/rev? was it? Eight seconds/revolution.
P: Eight I timed them.
C: Okay. Let me write that down so we don't forget it.
C: Starting over the United States, actually Ed started unstowing things just as soon as we got into orbit. I thir_ that we could unstowwithout jeopardizing the p_-s_ibility of a safe 2-1 reentry.
P: _at's that dc_n there below us? Over the_'e.
C: Looks lik_ a city er something.
P: Are we upside-down?
C: I think we're pointing right dc_n at the ground.
C: Ed started on unstowing stuff and as soon as we got to the position where it became no longer feasable to fool with the booster, I started full-time helping him - at least holding the things and stow- in them away and trying to keep them from disappear- ing. The faster we worked the farther' behind we got. Not because we weren't putting things the way they were supposed to, it just took a lot longer than we had anticipated. It really wasn't much easier at zero g than it was in the simulator, if as easy. So we worked all the way around. By the time we got to Carnarvon, I had made up my mind couldn't thought that we make it, but I we'd forge on a little longer. By the time we got to - or was Just before we even left Carnarvon it clear to me that we could not ma _._=the depressurization. I called for a slip to tL next orbit. We then ..... caught our breath for about 20 minutes and tried tc sort out the junk I had laying around in the cock- Then pit. I got the checklist out and we went through the checklist again in detail to make sure that we hadn't skipped anything in the rush. Started the extravehicular -- got the GO over Carnarvon. We were all set tD go and we were standing by for the GO to start depressurizing. We got it. Went through the depressurizaticn cycle. As we left Carnarvon, we were cleared for the full EVA. We got to Canton or Hawaii, and at that time were given -- I believe it was Canton or Hawaii that gave us the GO to actually exit the spacecraft and start the extravehicular maneuvers. We accomplished this as indicated on our tape recorder that we recorded before and on the VOX position. We went ahead and Ed got out and we started to take pictures as we -- how we would ..... I initially held the spacecraft fixed for him. _hen as he got out and seemed to be floating around in such a manner that I couldn't track him- initially, we decided that it was better to let the thing drift. Is that right?
P: That's right.
C: He was having difficulty maintaining his _rien_a- ti n, -!::dit looked t_ me fr,_m then _n he ori_'nted cfr th,_ spacecraft with,_ut regard to which dj?otis:. it was p.-inting. He could actually impart quite hikju rat_s to it, as high as 2 ° r_r second. I in- tended to keep them below that level. As he got back into the spacecraft, we had a considerable amount of difficulty with the hatch. First we lifted the ratchet portion of the hatch to engage. After we got that engaged, we couldn't get the hatch down closed far enough. Actually, we started pulling down on the locking handles to get the dogs out. So, we had a rather exciting time and I think it was on tape, wasn't it Ed? I had the tape re- corder on, I believe.
P: The tape recorder was on, but the red light lit there sometime. I don't know.
C: Okay. So it my be on tape and it may not. It went on for -- I think we were 44 minutes after we started EVA. I was looking at my event timer which I had started when Ed exited the spacecraft. At 44 min- utes we still didn't have the hatch closed. We were t_jing to take things calm, cool, and collected so And we didn't get things all screwed up. finally, by my pulling as hard as I could to get the hatch pulling closing device, and Ed down as best as he could, we were able to force him down into the seat and get the hatch closed fully. Ed seemed to be up much higher today than he had been in any of our zero-g EVA in the airplane.
P: Jim. I don't think it was the .....
C: Go ahead. Say what you said.
P: Yes. I don't believe we were actually having diffi- culty with the head clearance. I felt like I had plenty of head clearance and I could actually ..... down and manipulate the dogs. We just seemed to have a little more effort in closing than we had ever ex- perienced before and .....
C: It was difficult to swing shut because of all the washers that we have in the pyro lines. :":i:, d,_ _n the .k'_l_q '. --:c?: t_xe t.h'P I rt:'_k.,_ i', s, that I ."mn't :,:!.. t.

C: One thing that I don't knot, if we got on tape be:'cre, but both Ed and I mentioned that we were quite thank- ful for all the training that we'd done in the alti- tude chamber, in the zerc-g airplane, and the crew procedures trainer there at Houston.
P: You're not kidding! I'11 second that. The things that occurred were not things that we hadn't done before and things that we hadn't worked ol/t pro- cedures for before. The things that we did, I hea_; think, paid very dividends %¢_ay. I was very thankful for all the training that we had and the wurk the people had done with us. reentry with the hatch open.
P: And another thing, I was glad Jim had been working with the dumbells a little bit to build up those muscles.
P: On the books, I think we want to be sara we put a little more care into the kind of rings we use. We've had difficulty in opening two or three differ- ent times now, and also pages are tearing out so that they are not staying in the book. We ough_ to look into some kind of reinforcement for the holes, where the rings attach. On the water gun, the little teat that sticks out the end of it to all._w the water to flow out sticks in the OUT position, just like it did on the simulator, and allows water to flow after you take the trigger off. You have to, actually, from time to time reseat it back up in there to keep the water from flowing out of the capsule when you pull the gun out of the food package. Another thing, on the drinking hose_ it's very easy to turn the hose in such an angle when you're drinking from it to keep the water from flowing through the hose. Actually, you crimp the hose right at the end_ right where the _' t 'T',, _

P: Will you pass on also, that we're delaying D-9 as our flight plan calls for because we feel that we both should be up for it. It requires coordination.
CC: Roger. WE]] do.
P: Right now the pressure in the cabin is holding about 5.4. _t seems to hold up there. That's where she went at lift-off. It seemed to hold there for a while and then it gradually drained down to about 4.9.
CC: Okay. Okay, everything here on the ground looks real good.
P: Rog.
P: It was really quite a view out there during the EVA.
CC: I imagine. Real good show.
CC: How long did you stay out?
P: Must have been out --I came out Just as soon as we got the GO. Before Hawaii_ actually, I came out ..... following the camera and installing the um- bilical cord. It took a little bit of effort to get them in .....
CC: Gemini 4, CSQ. We've got LOS.
P: Took another picture of the cloud fcrmation at O3:35 ..... a long drawn-out type formation.
P: One of the food bags has leaked at the inflow lid where you put the water gun.
P: I'm looking out at the stars now. it's not as -- it's light, not fully dark. It appears that the window gives you a filter that cuts down the smaller magnitude stars. I'm looking o_ rSght now at the Big Dipper and right on down to Arcturus and ..... , and it appears to me that what I'_ seeing right now are primarily the second and down lo third order stars. The smaller ones are cut pretty well out of the picture at the present time. As you get deeper into night, I think more of them will come out, but you definitely don't see as many stars as you do clear flying at 40 000 feet in an airplane on a good night.
UNKNOWN: of Corbus is right out in view right now. It seems to be in pretty full view. I'm picking up probably down to about fourth order stars right now.
P: As we get deeper into the night, the other stars are coming out. I can see them -- I believe I can see down to about fifth magnitude now. It's still not as brilliant a display of stars as you'd see on a clear night at 20 000 feet out of the canopy of an aircraft. I've got my lights dimmed way down and it makes a much more spectacular view out. As a matter of fact, the stars seem to be coming out as my eyes adapt further. I'm looking right now at the South- ern Cross and the stars around it. There seems to be a somewhat of a lighted area around it.
P: I've got a very clear horizon now. It's rather light and I've got a horizon comprised mainly of clouds. I can see the clouds --the stars as they start to go down into the main air glow, but the clouds seem to give a more light horizon. It doesn't seem that we - earlier in the flight we've seen a horizon without clouds and it was much more -- it was a rather thick layer of air glow and you could see the stars as they went down through it. In this cloud-type horizon though, the stars are more diffi- cult to see; although I do note that some of the brighter ones are visible through it as they set.
P: I'm looking out now at Gruss, and its stars are quite clear, even the small fourth and fifth order magni- tude stars in the ..... This time of evening and at night, the skies are quite black and the stars are quite visible. I can see at least fifth order. i _ - ....... · ,, , I itl ' ' J I I ! ROSE KNOT VICTOR

P: I believe that I miscalled a little earlier on the --that I had a cloud-deck horizon. I definitely don't have a ground-deck horizon. I can see down below thunderstorm activity and the stars sinking down through the air glow. So it's definitely an air glow horizon. And I estimate it to be approxi- mately i1 to 12° angle_ pie section, from my view. There's quite a display of thunderstorms down below right now.
P: It's starting to get light and I can still see quite a few stars. I'm going to try to see just what change I have of seeing stars on the sunlit side of this pass.
P: Well, I'm back around now to the Southern Cross with the light splotchy area of -- I guess lots of very light ..... stars. I don't recall quite seeing the same display in the planetarium. Alpha Centuri and Beta are quite clear. I'm still at this time - it's starting to get light and I can still see quite a few stars. I believe they go down to about at least the sixth order now. I started up about the fourth and I'm down to sixth. There's really a lot of stars out in that .....
P: The light band of stars seem to --the stars right around the Southern Cross and the rather dark void area and the right -- on the sign of the Cross and that as you get back toward Alpha and Beta Centuri the light area continues. It Just looks ..... a big patch of -- oh, it looks like we're going to be late.
P: It looks just as ..... It looks Just like ..... As a matter of fact, it probably is. It certainly is clearly defined, though. You can see the dark ·voids --a dark void area, ..... in it.
P: There's the little Corona Australis, that we decided to use as a calibration. It's out in front of me right now_ and they go down to fifth order stars and I can see stars that are distinctly of a less magni- tude than the stars in the Corona Auscerias.
P: MSC-2 and -3 are being turned OFF at 04 19 40. I'm afraid I was watching the stars so much I forgot to turn it off at the proper time.
P: Right now it's daylight over on Jim's side, and looking out my side I can still _ake out some of the stars. It appears that you can keep the space- craft oriented so that one side is dark. On the dark side you can see stars: but the other side is in daylight. Jim's side is definitely in the day- light right now and mine is in the dark. This is one of the things that surprised me the most earlier in the flight when I was looking out at all the little fireflies from the booster, and remarking how dark it was and how it looked. I looked over at Jim and he was looking out of the perfectly daylight window. That's actually the way it's supposed to be but was a quite interesting thing - the first time you see it.
