here somewhere.

02 01 53 20 C_,_ Oh! Very well.

02 01 53 24 CDR At ignition the cha_,_er pressure went up very

i gradually to 10 percent. Slow, smooth, steady,
no h_lmp or anything. It Just felt llke somebody
was sort of turning the water faucet on. I came
OFF with the MASTER __,4, we got the - we got the
MASTER AhAR_4 on when I did that at a couple of
seconds. I throttle on up to 40 percent. That
throttle up I didn't make abruptly; the throttle
- and the - the char, her pressure seemed to stay right
together. I stopped at 40 and it did. I ...
throttle up manually to - to automatic. We were
100 percent ... Now the attitude excursions I got
during this time were practically nil, and the
smme thing with the rate. They're Just practically
nll and when we throttled up to 100 percent, the
same thing: they're very low attitude excursions,
very low rates. Considering - that we didn't have
any attitu/e control ... except at slow engine,
we did very well. It ran along steadily at
100 percent or 97 - percent - The chmmber pressure
looked like it went up and dow/_ from abcut 90 to
100 percent during the burn. It went along smoothly
and right at the end, we were - we were feeling
some surging and it looked like it was - it was
controlling a little more in yaw than I expected
it would. And we got a little roll rate in, but
 Page
Tape 09-0360] _gj%_[__rTr-_ul_

much less than a degree per second. Then we figured

! really - figures - probably the - the fuel sloshfng
· around - the fuel oxidizer sloshing aromnd in the
tanks, and was probably the slosh. Now, you
;, couldn't really see anything in the hall. I looked
; carefully at it, and I didn't see any attitude
excursions, and I only saw that very slight ...
% hit of roll rate, but it was in a different fre-
quency than the thing I felt. The - PGNS, the
AGS, the G&N over the command module, and every-
body all counted down together. About a minute
and - about 130 - turn that off - At 130 feet per
second we went to manual throttle and throttled
right down to 40 percent. I got hold of the throt-
tle and let it sit there for a couple of seconds,
and then down to 10 percent, then up to 40, down
to 25, back up to 40, slid liolniuully we were sup-
posed to get there at 30 seconds. I got there_
I think, at 29 seconds to go. Then we Just let
it cruise on out, and no trans into here a_ain.
We shut the thing down ... to end - -

02 O] 55 59 C!_ _ ... to Spider. I'll have it over to you in about

3 minutes.

O2 O1 56 02 CDR Okay. We shut do'_l at the end. Rates were very

low, and we gradually pitched up; no roll and no
yaw; but it p_tched up very gradually, much less
than a degree per second. We got the manual
shutdown at about 2 or 3 seconds. We got the
regulators off; and I'll let you - Buss - to tell
you about that. The regulator pressure - at that
time, fuel and oxidizer pressures, were 232 when
we started, and they went on down to about 185,

I then gradually built back up aga_ to 230, until

when they ran at 232, the whole time. The SUPER-
: CRIT PRESSURE got up to 830 during the burn and

that's where it sits right now.

02 O1 56 h2 L_.FI
_ Looks like it might have been the quad that caused
the heater light there at about 20 seconds before
the cutoff.

system B, too.

02 01 57 08 LMP Couple of percent, there, huh?

02 01 57 09 CDR Yes, and we were supposed to be off scale HIGH

for a long time. And, that's interesting, tape.
We're reading in the RCS quad - or the RCS quantity
right now. About 99, I guess, on A, and about 97
on B, and I think they're supposed to be cons_der-
ably higher than that. Too-bad I don't have a -
another camera; I could really take some pretty
pittances. Or do _e; no, it's all stowed away_
There'll come another day For the pictures, I guess.
We're crossing Africa. Alrighty, the temperature
is 70 our fuel, 67 our oxidizer, reading 240 and
242 fuel and oxidizer; that's on DESCENT 1.
DESCEIT 2 is 70, 69, 240, and 2_2. I think that
terminates my debriefing.

02 01 58 03 LMP I don't have much to add at all. Prop - the main

propulsion quantity seemed to track pretty good.
The ... radar climbed very slowly during the burn
from about 81 at start, to close to 100, and it's
now reading about 108 and the time is 49: ... 8:30?

03 19 51 44 I/._P Roger, we noticed in updatini_ the ACS that the

a VERB 47 we intergrated it backward too far. I
wonder if you can have someone look at that? Did
you get that one?
