Looks
good, Joe. Give us a chamber pressure? |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Showing
560 on that gage and a little over 600 on igniter. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Roger.
Looking good, Joe. Should be theta. 28, 29, speed brake. Have good profile,
track is real good. You might try to come about 2° right on track if
you can, but it's OK. Little bit low on theta but profile looking real
good. Track and profile very good, Joe. Everything's fine, Joe. 76, 77,
shutdown. Shutdown, Joe. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
OK.
My clock .......... |

Speed
brakes to 20°. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
OK,
they're at 20. Cabin went to 37,000. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
OK,
Joe. Going little high on profile, looks about 210. You're right on track.
About ready for roll. Got about 212 at the top. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
I
confirm about 211. My holds are working pretty good. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Roger,
Joe. Roll hold's off, Joe? |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Off. |
| |
|

Delta
psi standby? |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Standby. |
| |
|

Looks
like you might have a little extra energy. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
OK. |

160. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
4700. |
| |
|

Very
good. Track is very good and just a little bit long. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
4000
fps, I'm turning down here to the right. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
OK,
Joe, and you've got extra energy. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Little
more speed brakes. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Rog,
and you're on track for a hard turn. RC off. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Off. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Have
you 70,000. Good track, Joe, and about 20 miles north. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
OK.
Roll holds level. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Rog,
and just a little bit fast, 60,000. Engine master off? |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Engine
master off. Landing .......... Flaps, coming down, and flap ..........
OK, coming closed on the speed brakes. |
| |
|
| NASA

Very
good, looks about 45,000, 10 miles north. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Rog,

| |
|
| NASA

Very
good track, Joe. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Coming
down through 35,000. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Rog,
we show 40. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Left
turn across 466. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
5
north of 466, got us in sight? |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Yep. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
You're
on your own. Your fox is low, so when you go to jettison, if it doesn't
look like you're getting a good one, beep the emergency. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
OK.
I'm going to go there now, so I'll have plenty of time. Both inner tanks
are going, there wasn't much source, I believe. Showing 29,000 and 300
knots. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Rog,
you're coming in right over NASA now. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
OK,
I've got you, Joe. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Thank
you. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Joe,
use your emergency pressurization shot each. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Didn't
have .......... arm lox, don't have any lights on other one, so I'll go
to it. Back on 300 here. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Roger.
Can you see any jettison, Pete? |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Negative,
no jettison if that's what you're looking for. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Right.
OK, you might be finished, Joe. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
OK,
both tanks are flat too. I'm on emergency jettison. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Gone
to pressurize, Joe? |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Pressurize.
OK, 2 lights now. Turning base leg. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
And
circuit breaker, squat and flaps? |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Yes,
checked them already, and brakes coming back on speed, closed again. Flaps
and gear. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Rog.
Gear looks good, so are the flaps. |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Didn't
land short, Bob. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
OK.
Winds screw you up again, Joe? |
| |
|
| Walker: |
Yes,
didn't want to stop roughly, you know. Hydraulic pressures 3300 on #2 and
3400 on #1. Tank pressures both 560. APU #1 source is 2150, #2 is 2300.
Bearings still 90 on 1 and 2. No low lights. Mixing chamber still holding
-40. Engine helium source zero. #1 and #2 at 800. Cabin source 2000. 3
axis ball heading 175. Zero on velocity. We're going through 35,000 at
100 fps up. X-15 oxygen pressure 1600. |
