P: *Manual pitch plane precession was a little too great, as the gyros are aorquing a little bit of negative pitch in here now, to correct for the pitch torquing . . . overage. The damn desk is unusable, it's too far down on the lap. And it will not lock down. My legs are in the w_y at zero g. Can not bring it down to lock down.
P: *There seems to be some difficulty with the number two urine collection bag. It's very l-l/2 difficult to pump more than the syringe fulls that I got into it. And I hear a hissing back behind me, so I suspect there is too _ch pressure on it, and I am going to cease on this one.
P: Auto reentry. I see when each one of the thrusters fires, the little fireflies come out of the thrusters and drift away to the rear. Some of them impinging on the space- craft but depart later. - The auto reentry (ASCS reentry attitude mode) portion of the auto mode is holding within plus or minus, 11-1/2 is, within a degree band.
