CREATIONAL nano

This is the first operational COMMA briefing for mission 9021.

It is to be 4.4 der orbit with an MI for recover, at 2142 11%

7 August (next Monday night). Recovery is possible on any of the three

proceeding days between the times of 2157 ZDT and 2248 Z.

To obtain a maxima of 3 boars of daylight in the recovery

area, the 1st and 4th days will provide that margin.

the 2nd and 3rd days will provide 2 & 37 boars and 2 & 11

hours respectively.

All of the recovery passes fall within the 24 - hour surface recovery capability area and within this area the SCUBA team

can be deployed to the capsule within one hours' time after the

impact point has been determined.

A decision to recover has to be node 5 passes (or *hrs.)

prior to recovery time to effectively utilise the entire recovery

force. To obtain memisamtutilisation of the force the decision

mast be made 8 passes (or 12 hrs.) prior to recovery time.

16,087 feet of film would be needed to photograph all of the

area that has been programed to be filmed. Ve are film limited to

7229 feet of available film. We are over-programmed 122%.

1st day - 53%

2nd der - 65% 118%

3rd der -. 53% 171%

Itth day - 51% 222%

A commend decision is to be made at this briefing to either

operate or not operate the camera on passes 3D and 5D. The two passes

are controlled together so that if one pass is deemed fruitful to

operate the camera over, both will have to be photographed. The two

passes require 5.5% of the total film. Passes IL, 2A and 2D have been

programmed to have the camera on over these areas at launch. This is

a precaution to insure that the camera will operate over areas of

interest in event command control cannot be obtained at the various

commend tracking statioai. These passes will use 11.50; of the film.

Are-cap shows that if the &mini& is mode to operate on 3D and 5D,

17% of the film will be used an completion of the 5D pass.
The decision message has to be in COMIIrs hands by 2000 local

tine. The HMV board lists additional into that should be considered

in the plans as the mission progresses.
