is 2°. Cine camera pulse. Head bumper. |
| |
|
| Russel: |
785
on velocity, Jack. |
| |

OK,
my needle is 83 on last digit. |
| |

Affirmative.
Right on the time. |
| |
|
| B-52: |
He
has about 50 seconds. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
1
minute now. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
1
minute. Re-light. Precool. Igniter idle. Tape to 15. Things are looking
good, how's everything down there? |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Looks
good here, Jack. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Pump.
Coming up, second stage, 150, 275 on the pressures. Things looking good.
Ready to launch, 3, 2, 1, launch. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Good
on angle of attack, Jack, hold it there at 11. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Roll
hold is on. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Get
the angle of attack up. Get to 11. Track is good, hold angle of attack,
Jack. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Theta
now? |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Roger,
you're on theta. Profile looking real good. On profile, 80,000 now. Little
bit steep, Jack. 100 now. 110 now, just a little bit steep. Looks very
good here, Jack. Time for shutdown. 160,000 and engine master off. Looks
good. Check your b
now. Delta psi whenever you want to. 220 now, Jack. Going a little bit
low on altitude. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
How
do you read me, Bob? |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Read
you loud and clear, how me? |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Little
noise in background. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
OK,
that looks like peak altitude, you've gone by, you can set your speed brakes
and check your trim. Set your speed brakes and check your trim again. Chase
4, he's going to be a little bit short on energy, coming in sooner. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Roger. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
What
did you get for peak altitude, Bob? |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
About
235, Jack. Have little too much speed brakes out, Jack, push a little bit
back in. Not too much. Put delta psi standby, hold your 22°. Your angle
of attack looks real good and you are going to have to turn left when you
come out the bottom. Looks good, roll hold off if you can. Watch your H
dot, Jack, and when you can, start a left turn. You can start your left
turn now, if you can. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Got
it, Bob. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Roger,
got the base in site, off about 10 o'clock? |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Roger. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Brakes
in and start around. Stop there to go to zero H dot, we show you 70,000
right there, very good, level. Chase 4, he's about 30 miles NW. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Roger. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Energy
looks good, Jack. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Roger,
Bob, got the field in site. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Roger. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Jettison
any time. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
OK,
go ahead, Jack. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Ready
for jettison? |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Roger,
go ahead, I'm having trouble picking you up. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
OK,
Joe, I'm heading south now. How's my altitude, Bob? |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Roger,
present time a little over 70,000. 70,000 feet now and 20 miles west. You
can go to aux jettison on ammonia. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
On
peroxide. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Hold
the peroxide, Jack. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Roger. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Now,
Bob. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Do
you have him? He's just south of Mojave right now. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Roger. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
I'm
on east part of Rosamond Lake, Bob. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
That's
affirmative, you're right on the edge. About 55,000 feet. And you're subsonic. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Brakes
coming in. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Right
over south base now. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Thank
you, Bob. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Got
a little buffet. Level at 245, 41,000 and 8°. 10° angle of attack.
Full speed brakes. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
I'm
ahead of you, Jack, are you coming down on low key position? |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Rog,
I'm about 35 .......... losing altitude, Joe. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
For
the east shore, Joe. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Rog,
I got him now. Showing 32,000 now, Jack. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Got
me Joe? |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Rog,
I'm climbing up, attitude and latitude? |
| |
|
| McKay: |
250.
Ready for peroxide jettison, Bob? |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Get
the experiment off now, Jack, check your circuit breakers. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
I'm
showing 23,000 now. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Roger. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Circuit
breakers, Jack? |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Circuit
breakers checked, Bob. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
15,000
now, Jack. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Roger,
275. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Speed
brakes in, Jack. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
You
got your speed brakes out, Jack. I show about 280, coming down. Gear. 10,
5 feet, 2, 1, beauty, push! |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Just
got a peroxide low light. OK in the cockpit. Experiment is off. Inertial
heading is 218°. Oxygen pressure is 1800. Velocity is reading about
550. Hydraulic pressures, 3500 on #1 and #2. Temperatures, peroxide tank
pressure is 550 on #1 & #2. Bearing temp is 100 on #1, +50 on #2. Mixing
chambers are -40 on #1 and #2. Engine source, Fox is zero, #1 and #2 are
1400. APU source pressures, #1 is 15, #2 is 23. Cabin source is 1700. |
