CMP: You have to have the right numbers for the ... sure
LMP: Yes, you do. So if AUTO optics doesn't work, that's becauze you must ha_ze the wrong n'_bers. Hey, why don't you mark on th(_lrland let me look at some nu_bers, and we can always reject it? Let me see if I can puzzle that out.

CC: Reading you loud and clear, Dave.
CMP: Okay, stand by a minute, and I'11 give you a z'u_ down on the Jupiter adigrmeat.
CC: Roger. We're taking a look at some of the data and it looks swell.
CMP: Roger. And I got a couple comments on this - J_ a second. 0,_,
CMP: 1-,l y, if you notice the data, I ran it two Lime: ',m had to get th_; repeat;bility on numbers to pi C ;DENmr' Day 7 565 _n; and the star-angle difference was 0.04 on the first one, and 0.03 on the second one - and did you get the torquing angles?
CC: That is affirmative, &pollo 9.
CMP: Okay. It seems to work real well; the planet fills up the whole inside of the sextant in betwee the reticle line. It's about the size of - I gues it's about hO odd seconds in there; and one thing was noticed in the progr_]] is that, when you load the unit vectors for the planet and then let AUTO optics drive to it, then take the mark, the mark wipes out the load you put in, and you have to reload those unit vectors again. That might he l_lz_. an early thing for .... tu .......... _Jin_ _u_,u_ in _u_._._._, because it takes a lot of time to go reload those vectors,
CC: Roger, Dave; copy. Real good observation.
CMP: And other than that, it works real well. And the torquing angles were amall_ and the planets are easy to find. I think that would be a fine thing see to use if you couldn't i.he stars in the daytil
CC: Okay, that sounds rca] great and that was an ex- tremely good suni_ary.
UNKNOWN: And our last lanChna_k track - I think we got the hang of the whole thing. We had cloud coverage again, and I had to raject the first mark because I couldn't - just couldn't see it. Finally, we I got almost overhead and got two real good marks: and I think we've got that o_]e nailed if we could get a clear target tomorrow.

CC: If you've got t_me - ... Jim asked specifically for that - I got an entry for that ORB rate angle and to make sUre that I'm giving you what you want. Is that what you want, your relation to the local vertical? L
CDR: _og_r, Stu. We have what we want here.
CC: Okay, rea] good.
CDR: We want an inertial angle to maneuver to and we wanted a relative local-vertical attitude to stay at.
CC: Okay. Real good. We'11 slip it to you.
LMP: Well - that'11 always be the ssme_ once we got it there. Unless they decide not to take vertical pictures.
CMP: Got arioti_e_-one?
LMP: ,.. want more?
CMP: Heuston, Apollo 9.
CC: Go ahead, Apo]lo 9.
CMP: One thing I forgot to mention on that alignr'.ent: the way we got the anlt vectors was to 5nterpo]ate between the times that we had on the charts onhoard nuv_bers and so we tried to take the five-digit and get as close as we could to the time, the GMT that wc had right now; so I guess the repeatability really is a function of tho:;e nutcbers that you had in tht.re - theft we have on the chart or that we interpolated to.
CC: Okay, Dave, understand. We're about 1 minute LO; Huntsville; we'11 see you Hawaii in about 5 minn at 49.
