LMP: Okay. (clearing throat)
UNKNOWN: Sorry.
CDR: That's okay, Rusty. Everybody has a problem. I think though, we're going to have to talk to a matter of fact, I'm going to recom,mend we scrub the EVA tomorrow.
LMP: Yes, I think that's a good idea.
CDR: I know how you want to do it, I think - maybe we'11 let you stay back in the conmmand module with Dave, and I'11 come over here, and we'11 run through the checklist, open up the cabin. Don't sweat it though.
LMP: Why don't you go ahead and take your gloves off? (clearing throat)

I think we're going to have scrub to the EVA for tomorrow for sure. But I think we probably ought to try to at least do the CABIN DEPRESS. We might want to do it at the end

LMP: Hey, stand - stand by Just 1 -
UNKNOWN: Roger. We'd like to stop at an AGS CAL ATTITUDE, here somewhere.
UNKNOWN: Oh! Very well.
CDR: At ignition the cha_,_er pressure went up very no h_lmp or anything. It Just felt llke somebody was sort of turning the water faucet on. I came OFF with the MASTER __,4, we got the - we got the MASTER AhAR_4 on when I did that at a couple of seconds. I throttle on up to 40 percent. That throttle up I didn't make abruptly; the throttle - and the - the char,her pressure seemed to stay right together. I stopped at 40 and it did. I ... throttle up manually to - to automatic. We were 100 percent ... Now the attitude excursions I got during this time were practically nil, and the smme thing with the rate. They're Just practically nll and when we throttled up to 100 percent, the same thing: they're very low attitude excursions, very low rates. Considering - that we didn't have any attitu/e control ... except at slow engine, we did very well. It ran along steadily at 100 percent or 97 - percent - The chmmber pressure looked like it went up and dow/_ from abcut 90 to 100 percent during the burn. It went along smoothly and right at the end, we were - we were feeling some surging and it looked like it was - it was controlling a little more in yaw than I expected it would. And we got a little roll rate in, but much less than a degree per second. Then we figured really - figures - probably the - the fuel sloshfng around - the fuel oxidizer sloshing aromnd in the tanks, and was probably the slosh. Now, you couldn't really see anything in the hall. I looked carefully at it, and I didn't see any attitude excursions, and I only saw that very slight ... hit of roll rate, but it was in a different fre- quency than the thing I felt. The - PGNS, the AGS, the G&N over the command module, and every- body all counted down together. About a minute and - about 130 - turn that off - At 130 feet per second we went to manual throttle and throttled right down to 40 percent. I got hold of the throt- tle and let it sit there for a couple of seconds, and then down to 10 percent, then up to 40, down to 25, back up to 40, slid liolniuully we were sup- posed to get there at 30 seconds. I got there_ I think, at 29 seconds to go. Then we Just let it cruise on out, and no trans into here a_ain. We shut the thing down ... to end - -
UNKNOWN: _ ... to Spider. I'11 have it over to you in about 3 minutes.
CDR: Okay. We shut do'_l at the end. Rates were very low, and we gradually pitched up; no roll and no yaw; but it p_tched up very gradually, much less than a degree per second. We got the manual shutdown at about 2 or 3 seconds. We got the regulators off; and I'11 let you - Buss - to tell you about that. The regulator pressure - at that time, fuel and oxidizer pressures, were 232 when we started, and they went on down to about 185, when they ran at 232, the whole time. The SUPER- CRIT PRESSURE got up to 830 during the burn and that's where it sits right now.
UNKNOWN: _ Looks like it might have been the quad that caused the heater light there at about 20 seconds before the cutoff.
CDR: Okay, I didn't see that.
UNKNOWN: Because quad ] is now re_/ding ]85, 2 is re_d_n_ 162, 3 is reading 185, and 4 Js reading 152. f-F'%_ I_r_ ITl A ! Day 3 - Page _7
UNKNOWN: Looks like we used a fair amount of fuel in system B, too.
LMP: Couple of percent, there, huh?
CDR: Yes, and we were supposed to be off scale HIGH for a long time. And, that's interesting, tape. We're reading in the RCS quad - or the RCS quantity right now. About 99, I guess, on A, and about 97 on B, and I think they're supposed to be cons_der- ably higher than that. Too-bad I don't have a - another camera; I could really take some pretty pittances. Or do _e; no, it's all stowed away_ There'11 come another day For the pictures, I guess. We're crossing Africa. Alrighty, the temperature is 70 our fuel, 67 our oxidizer, reading 240 and 242 fuel and oxidizer; that's on DESCENT 1. DESCEIT 2 is 70, 69, 240, and 2_2. I think that terminates my debriefing.
LMP: I don't have much to add at all. Prop - the main propulsion quantity seemed to track pretty good. The ... radar climbed very slowly during the burn from about 81 at start, to close to 100, and it's now reading about 108 and the time is 49: ... 8:30? That's about all I've got.
