the RCS heater troubles and we had them coming on
for the next three to four hours.
We had them
cycled on and I called the times down.
I don ' t
believe we want to go over them all right now.
I
had them cycled on and off at intervals of about
15 minutes, for a total of eight different times .
They started coming on exactly at 06:47 and the
last one I had was on at 08:23.
That was the
last time we had any RCS heaters. It was rather
peculiar because they alternated.
First the
A-Ring would come on and the B-Ring would come on
and the A-Ring would come on, and so on.
Is that right?
They came on at approximately 15-minute intervals
and it took approximately five minutes to bring
the temperature down to within limits.
I reported
those down and they seemed to be interested in
getting exact on/off times of our heaters to plot
our electrical profile curve.
I ran an Apollo
Landmark Run Noo 6 with yaw 15 and pitch 30.
I
think the results of that are in the other log­
book.
I reported down at this time that ~im had
a successful bowel movement .
I already had one.
