UNKNOWN: Houston. We're getting so busy that we are having a hard time trying to do a neat job of logging. I'11 txy to do it-on the flight plan; and if I make any visual observations, we'11 put them on the DSE, and I'11 try to scribble some notes here and there. Roger. Understand. Now high bit rate is working great.

UNKNOWN: We were checking into precise start and stop times for TV, and you are GO for the next REV. Over. .
UNKNOWN: understand; go for the next RET. Mike, we'd like to, if we could, time the TV to a passing over the terminator. We would like to track the terminator with the TV; think that's the most impressive thing we've seen, and that might be the best thing rather than trying to acquire the earth.
UNKNOWN: That's one of the things we are looking at right now. We have you ending at about 86 hours, and we're looking at extending that few minutes to include that terminator view. Over. okay. I don't want us to run into REV 10 very much at all, though.

We did change film, and starting out in Tex - Crater, Texas, titB tar-get 28, 31, 40, 36, plus several targets of opportunity that were recorded on the DSE, but apparently lost. Have you been able to
CC: Yes, I'm with you, Bill. Keep going.
UNKNOWN: okay. I might be calling up too fast. Okay. On the third REV, we got target 58 and 63 and 65. The training photography was accomplished, and it was done on magazine D, which now has - correction, that's magazine E - which now shows 95 exposures. Magazine D is fresh.
