Joe. Track and profile are good, Joe. Coming up on 80,000 now. Track and
profile are right on, Joe. Track and profile are good at 100. 110 now.
Track and profile are real good. 130 now. Shutdown now. 160, go RAS on
anytime, Joe. How do you read? |

You're
right on the profile. OK, check your b
and you can go computer b
on. Everything looks good, Joe. Right on the profile. Going through 240.
Coming up on peak altitude, Joe. Speed brakes out now, we show about 253.
Speed brakes. Very good. |

|
| Engle: |
Roger. |
| |
|
| NASA

I
think you can start a turn left and look at the base. |
| |
|
| Engle: |
Rog,
I got it in site now. I'm going to swing right and use up some energy. |
| |
|
| NASA

|
| Chase: |
Roger.
I got you about 30,000. |
| |
|
| Engle: |
Roger.
And landing SAS disengaged is armed. Full speed brakes, I'm going to slow
her down, Pete. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Rog.
18,000. |
| |
|
| Engle: |
Roger.
Brakes back in. |

| Engle: |
My
heading is 156. I veered off to the left, I couldn't keep her straight.
Inertial height is showing about -43. Inertial climb is zero. Velocity
is zero. X-15 oxygen pressure is 1600. Ball nose test still works. Hydraulic
pressure are both good. Altitude is -30 feet. Peroxide tank pressures,
#1 is 580, and #2 is 580. APU bearing temps, #l is jumping around pretty
bad, and #2 is about 60. #1 mixing chamber is -40, #2 is -50. #1 source
pressure is 1650, #2 is 1650. Cabin source is 1100. |
