How's
my thrust? |
| |
|

We
don't have any TM. You're on track. Your profile looks real good. Your
heading looks very good, Jack. Coming up on 80,000 feet now. Track looks
very good, Jack. Coming up on 110,000 now. Standby for shutdown. OK, Jack,
RAS on. Check b
to zero. Heading vernier to delta psi. Experiment on, Jack. |

Your
track and profile are right on the money, Jack. |
| |

On
top. |
| |
|
| NASA

Rog,
we show you still climbing just a little. We have you over the top at 257. |
| |

253
here. |
| |
|
| NASA

Track
and profile are very good. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
How's
my energy, Bill? |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Your
energy looks very good, maybe just slightly high. Track looks very good.
We have you coming back through 170,000. Experiment to retract. Coming
through 150, check your experiment switch to retract, and check your a. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Roger. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
through
120, RAS off. Coming back through 100, check your a
. We have you through 80, standby for H dot. Your H dot looks good, speed
brakes to 35. And we want you to come right to a heading of 210. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
What's
the heading, Bill? |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Come
right to 210, Jack. You're just very slightly left of track. Do you have
your brakes out, Jack? |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Rog. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
OK,
keep her coming down, Jack. Have you 15 out at Mach 3. You way want to
swing a little to the right and then make a hard left turn. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Rog. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Keep
the nose coming down. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
What's
the altitude, Bill? |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Have
you 65,000. 2.2. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Brakes
coming in. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Bring
your speed brakes in, Jack, and swing it hard around to the left. We have
you at 17, Jack, if you have time in all this other work you're doing,
you might try an aileron and rudder pulse. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Let
me get turned around, Bill. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Rog.
Keep her coming around to the left. Still have you at 1.6 Mach number.
Looking very nice on your turn to downwind, very nice. We have you coming
through 50,000, about 1.5. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Have
you, you can go to jettison. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Go
to jettison any time, Jack. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Rog. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Keep
her coming around to the left. You're looking very good. We have you coming
through about 45,000. We have you at 1.2. As you go subsonic, let's keep
your a
down. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Do
you have him yet, Pete? |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Not
yet. |

Pete,
he's headed northbound at the south shore. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
I
got him, Bill. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Give
me an altitude check. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
35,
Jack. |
| |
|

Check
your barometrics, Jack. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Rog. |
| |
|
| NASA

Check
your flap and squat circuit breakers. You got your stick kicker on, Jack? |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Roger.
Circuit breakers are checked. And an altitude check? |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Rog,
28, Jack. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Is
that you, Pete? |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Rog,
right to your right. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
You're
a little high and a little close, Jack. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Rog.
Lose a little altitude, Pete. Dive brakes. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Rog,
about 23,000. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
I
show coming through 20, what do you show? |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Rog,
show 20 now. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Engine
master is off, Bill. How do you read me, Bill? |

Looking real good, Jack. About 4,000 now. Flaps coming down. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Gear. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Gear.
Main gear is down, I'll call the nose gear. Down and locked, Jack, put
her on the ground. About 10 feet, 5, 3, 2, there you go! |
