We got good attitudes.

~id you take e:ny exposures into the sunlit sky?
(Cpoper:
No, I didn't. I was going to try and snap one of this planet but couldn't
get the camera out in time. After I once got it out of the equipment locker, the
planet was gone.
Huch:
was the camera easy to use'l
Cooper:
Yes, after I once got it out of the locker it was easy to use.
Huch:
Would it be possible to take a picture of the Milky Way?
I
Cooper: Yes. The last picture that I made was this haze layer when it was so
bright. It should be somewhere right near. It was near the vertical coming through
the window.
Huch:
The range of light intensity was very extreme.
Cooper:
The last exposure I made was of this glow and I think I used a 20 or
a 15 second exposure time.
Note:
A general discussion was carried on at this point concerning the number
of exposures and general observations. It is not possible to decipher these
comments into usable form.
(Radiation Experiments.)
Warren:
We have some preliminary results I will give to you later. Did you take
the chamber out of the dit.ty bag and fasten it on the hatch?
Cooper:
I took it out of the storage container and fastened it to the hatch on
the first orbit.
Warren:
Could you give me a time estimate?
Cooper:
I would say within an hour •~fter liftoff•
