CC: Gemini XII. One other question for your Separa- tion Maneuver, which will be a posigrade burn of appro_mAtely 6 feet per second horizontal. What's your druthers? Do you want to use the aft-firing thrusters or the forward-firing thrusters? We'11 pass it to you either way. HOUSTON what we'd like you to do is turn the Number 2 and the Number 4 circuit breaker back on. The Roll Logic switch in the NORMAL position - with yaw, and go ahead and undock that way. We think that you should have fairly good attitude control at that time in RATE COMMAND. And, of course, if you're not satisfied with it, you can always get rid of the tether. We were going to start with the Agena vertical. Do you want us to leave it horizontal then? there with the Gemini. You can fly it down there with the Agena and stop it, and then undock in RATE COMMAND. gas. what you'd call an acceptable RATE COMMAND, before - RATE COMMAND's inability. And I'm wondering if maybe we shouldn't check to see if we've lost another thruster. for a miuute down here and we,11 talk to you again. CO_I_ND, there, it wasn't acceptable and we - we - it wouldn't stop us. What I'm trying to say is we still had a residual rate. few tenths of a degree per second and at that t_me you had the Number 2 and the Nnmber 4 circuit breaker off. And even mono-propell_nt or part bi-propellants, you're going to get some help from them and that might change the picture a little bit. burn, you don't get a lot of good response to be- gin with. they're real happy with your show this morning. thrusters on the Agena, you'11 get that combina- tion moving again. The consensus down here is, let's get set up to do it. Then you can use the pitch mode on the Agena to get pitch down. Go ahead and undock. Now leave the 2 and 4 circuit breakers on and if you aren't too happy with con- trol mode after you undock, you might go ahead and change your Roll Logic switch to the other one be- cause one thruster may be a little bit better than the other, and it would give you a little better control that way; say for a roll. And if you're not satisfied with it, Just go ahead and get rid of the docking bar and then you can go on and back away. And you can go ahead if you've got a fairly slack tether out there. You might give it a couple of tries in DIRECT and go right back to RATE COMMAND again. that thing -have control troubles, we're going to Jettison. Agena to pitch, remember to get 420 in there, PITCH RATE LOW, so you have the 1 and 1/2-degree- per-second pitch rate rather than the 3-degree per second. ASCENSION Ascension. Ascension. to pass to you out there to Tananarive, so you can be ready for them. TANANARIVE Over. two areas for you, if you're ready to copy. that we're pointing straight down. plus 26 plus 21; RET 40OK, 20 plus 45; RET RV, 26 plus 10; roll left 80, roll right 100. Area 33-4 Alpha: GET RD, 52 plus 02 plus 21; RET 40OK, 20 plus 15; RET RV, 25 plus 34; roll remains the same. Weather is good in both areas and this is with a Separation Maneuver.
