Rog.
Trim is zero. Flap circuit breakers are in. Platform to internal, I got
a gross light. Punched out q/b
seem good. I got a gross computer light. And they punched out. Did you
call 11 minutes yet? |
| |
|
| B-52: |
Rog,
I called it about 20 seconds ago. |
| |
|
| Adams: |
OK,
I just got the precool off. |

minutes now. Roll out on 209. |
| |
|
| B-52: |
Roger,
rolling out 10° more on 209. |
| |
|
| Adams: |
I
got my tank handle to pressurize, pressures are coming up. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
There
will be no jettison check, Mike. |
| |
|
| Adams: |
OK,
I know that. I got 4 switches to jettison. Lox is 48, ammonia is 45. On
X-15 radio, how do you read? |
| |
|
| NASA

You're
coming in clear, but weak. |

|
| Adams: |
2,
1, launch! |
| |
|
| Chase: |
You
got a light, you're on your way. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
You
got a good light down here, Mike. |
| |
|
| Adams: |
Got
the throttle going .......... 75 .......... |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Recheck
your throttle and check your a,
Mike. You're on track, on profile. Standby for theta. Track is good. Have
you coming up on profile, Mike. Very good profile. Standby for your pushover,
now. Good track and profile. Cross check your angle of attack with your
g meter. Very good profile, on track. We have you on profile. Watch your
H dot. On track, on profile. Just a little bit high. Very good profile,
on track. You can standby for your shutdown. OK, we have you shutdown,
Mike. We have you just a little high on velocity. Yaw damper to fixed gain.
a/b. |
| |
|
| Adams: |
Yes,
I got it. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
Standby
for your H dot. We have you on profile, on track. We have you about 3.5
Mach number. On profile, we have you about 92,000. 3.5 Mach number. Roll
out on 218°. Fix your sunshade. We have you about 5 north of Cuddeback.
3.3 Mach number. Coming abeam Cuddeback, speed brakes full out. Yaw damper
to off. Watch your q, we have you about 500. Decrease your rate of descent
a little, Mike. Have you Mach 3, 500 q. Have your brakes full open. Keep
your brakes out. Come right about 10°, Mike. 3.5 Mach number. Do you
have the base in site? |
| |
|
| Adams: |
Roger. |
| |
|
| NASA
1: |
OK,
check your sunshade. 2.3 Mach number. Yaw damper to adaptive. Mach 2 at
500 q. And you should be coming over the highway. Speed brakes closed,
you can bring it over to the right just a little, start your high key turn.
You're 1.5 Mach number and check your angle of attack when you turn around,
Mike. I suggest you go to jettison anytime. Master switch off. Observe
your angle of attack on the turn around, Mike. Your turn is looking very
good. We have you about 1.2 indicated, watch your angle of attack. |

|
| Chase: |
Got
him. Chase 4, got him Jerry? |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Got
him. Mike check your flap, squat, kicker circuit breakers. |

Got
them, Jerry. |
| |
|

turning off high key, I got about 21 here. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
Got
about 22,000. |

Get
you some speed brakes, might be a little hard on you. |
| |
|
| Chase: |
They
aren't very far though. |
| |

They're
coming more. |
