Glistening to the voice quality - it sounds real good. We're caning up on 8 midcourse 4 and right llQv it's - talking about doing it on time, and you c8n anticipate the burn in the neighborhood of 3 foot per second. We're considering and vould like for you to think about the possibility of doing this burn using the vector and onboard Just have us update the vector in the L&l slot, so that you will have the lGFR vector on board. But it looks like it won't have any big effect on the burn results, and it might prove interesting. So if you think about that one for 8 bit and let us know if you have 8ny suggestions or thoughts on the Subject. IMP
UNKNOWN: you say it uses the onboerd vectors and leaves the MgFR vectors on the I&¶ slot. cc do, right. We considered it, and it looks like that vould be 8 reasonable thing. IXP bring this up to them vhen they wake up. cc

LMP: 00 ahead, Houston.
CC: Okay, Bill. I guess I want to belay my last about using the onboard state vector for MCC 4. After looking at it some more on the ground, they've got to get going on making the PAD's and doing all their canputations, and rather than put it oif or do it twice, we're going to go ahead and go with the procedures we've been using all along. On the lunar orbit stuff, we've been looking it over and we got several @YS - Jack Schmitt end company in the back rocm- looking at what effect your windows have. And, basically, it looks like there's two op- tions that will make an impact on that BEV 2. One of the options, of course, will be just to have you and Jim change seats and let Jim look out and get his SAM that way, and another option vi11 be to roll the bird over and let Jim point the optics as far forward as he can get them and take his SAM through the telescope. And I guess we'd like to have any thoughts that you folks have on what you think you can do with the win- dowe; if you have anything, we'd like to factor it into our thinking and go ahead and firm up __---_- TBPC
