7 minutes to launch (first page missing)
 

NASA 1:	Chase 3, confirm squawking 2 & 3 please?
Chase:	Affirm.
B-52:	Just past 7 minutes.
Rushworth:	Roger.
NASA 1:	003, shallow your turn a little.
Peterson:	Az to inertial.
Rushworth:	Platform going internal. Fire extinguisher auto. ASAS is armed right now.
Peterson:	Memory has gone back to normal after 13 minutes.
B-52:	6 minutes and launch heading is 173, is that correct?
NASA 1:	Affirm.
Rushworth:	OK, I got a good SAS check and ASAS is rearmed, lights out. Set flight gains for 8-4-8. My stabilizer position should be zero.
Peterson:	It is zero.
Rushworth:	X-15 oxygen is 2800 pounds. Cabin altitude is 35,500. I'm on X-15 oxygen.
B-52:	5 minutes.
NASA 1:	Roll out 177°.
B-52:	Roll out 177°.
NASA 1:	Bob, call 4 minute point about 30 seconds. Let's call this 4 minutes now.
B-52:	Rog.
Peterson:	Lox topoff complete.
Rushworth:	Rog. Data-calibrate. Pressurize.
B-52:	Rolling out 110.
Rushworth:	Lox 48, backing off a little bit. Fuel is 45. 2 jettison switches jettison. Fuel now 44. Data off. Intercom switch is off, how do you read on radio?
NASA 1:	5 square, Bob.
Rushworth:	Rog. Inertial velocity looks about 860 - 900.
NASA 1:	Roger. Fitz, bring it around to 179°.
B-52:	Rog.
Rushworth:	Altitude looks good, 45,500 - 46,000.
B-52:	Just passed 3 minutes, 5 seconds ago.
Rushworth:	Rog, APU bearing temps are 80 & 70.
Peterson:	Doppler velocity is 726 on the launch panel.
NASA 1:	Rog.
Rushworth:	Looks like we're in a little bit close.
NASA 1:	You're looking OK from here, Bob.
Rushworth:	Fine. Data on.
B-52:	2 minutes.
Rushworth:	Got a push to test on the ball nose. I'm showing 1° angle of attack right now. 1/2° nose left. Cine camera on pulse. No head bumper. Seem to be awful close to that lake this time. Maybe I'm confused by this lake.
B-52:	1 minute to launch, turning left to 173 heading.
NASA 1:	Affirm.
B-52:	Launch master coming on.
Rushworth:	Prime. Ignition ready light. Precool. Igniter idle.
B-52:	40 seconds when you're ready.
Rushworth:	Roger. Lox pump bearing +10.
B-52:	20 seconds.
Rushworth:	Pump. Looks good! 3-2-1 launch!
Chase:	Good light.
NASA 1:	On heading, on course. Coming up on profile. 21 seconds. Just slightly on profile, on course. 36, 37 seconds.
Rushworth:	Roger.
NASA 1:	Just a little high on profile, on course.
Rushworth:	Looks good here. Check my brakes again.
NASA 1:	Little high on profile. 70 seconds. Speed brakes. Coming up on 100,000. OK, shutdown. Just a little high on profile. Passing Grapevine now. OK, we have you coming down on profile now. Ease it back on up, Bob, you're coming below profile.
Rushworth:	Roger.
NASA 1:	Bring it up. 90,000. Bring it back up.
Rushworth:	That looked a little bit worse in roll than what I expected to see but it was still easily controllable.
NASA 1:	Roger. We have you 100,000 now. Ease it over a little. Pushover. We have you about 70 miles out, Bob. You're right on profile now. Have your speed brakes coming in now. China Lake now, energy looking very good.
Rushworth:	Roger. Track looks a little better ...........
NASA 1:	Roger. We have you 88,000.
Rushworth:	Going down hill at 82,000.
NASA 1:	Still good on energy. Have you 32 miles out. Looking very good on energy. Present heading will take you to hi key, Bob.
Rushworth:	Roger.
NASA 1:	You can use speed brakes at your discretion. About 16 miles to hi key. Dampers on, Bob?
Rushworth:	Negative.
NASA 1:	ASAS armed?
Rushworth:	They're on now. 80,000 feet, coming down.
NASA 1:	Rog. You have the field in site?
Rushworth:	Roger, little speed brakes here.
NASA 1:	Coming down on 70,000. Recommend speed brakes right now.
Rushworth:	I'm showing speed brakes, showing 180, coming down fast. About a 90° turn.
NASA 1:	You can swing a little wide here if you like, Bob, just peak energy. 45,000.
Rushworth:	..........
NASA 1:	You can jettison anytime. We have you 11, what's your angle of attack?
Rushworth:	About 3°, 4 on the side. 6, 7, 8. Throttle back here.
NASA 1:	Chase 4, we have you just ahead of the X-15.
Rushworth:	I'm heading 8 1/2° at ............
Chase:	What angles, Bob?
Rushworth:	I'm showing 26 right now and I'm perpendicular, heading for the east shore.
NASA 1:	Roger, and check your squat and flap circuit breakers, Bob.
Rushworth:	They're checked and on. I'm almost east shore and I'll be going over the extension on 22 on east shore.
NASA 1:	Roger.
Rushworth:	50,00O going to pressurize. I'm off extension 23, make that 23 heading.
Chase:	Rog.
Rushworth:	Brakes and 320 knots.
NASA 1:	Winds are about the same, 10 knots from the southwest.
Rushworth:	Thank you.
Chase:	I see you, Bob, but can't catch you.
Rushworth:	OK, little speed brakes here.
Chase:	300 knots.
NASA 1:	OK, we have speed brakes in?
Rushworth:	Rog. Flaps. Gear.
Chase:	You have good gear. They're all down. 6, 3, very nice, right on the spot.
Rushworth:	200 knots, Jim, on the spot. This one rolling out straight away. Yaw did not disengage on touchdown, not supposed to I guess. Fox is zero. #1 & #2 with 1700. Tank pressures, fuel is zero, lox is 28. Line control 26. Control is 590, Manifolds zero. Angle of attack is slowly drifting on up, it's gone by 20°. Sideslip is hard over to the left. Lox pump bearing is -2. Hydraulic temps on #1 & #2 are +60. Oxygen going off at 2000 pounds. Inertial, I'm reading 5000 feet. 450 fps, about +30 . Attitudes are still good. Ballistics off. Sources, #1 is 2350 and #2 is 2650. Hydraulic pressures are 3450 each. Cabin is 22. Mixing chambers are -40 and -45. Heading is 187°. Data off.
