I think
that this is about the time that we went to
Horizon Scanner, isn ' t it?
You were in Horizon Scanner while I was asleep.
Yes .
I don ' t have that in my notes, but we went
in the Horizon Scan Mode around 72 hours , I think.
I think it was at 16: 03 GMT that I mentioned it.
I didn ' t do an O .rbi t Nav Check at the 72 hours
and 50 minutes as shown in the flight plan .
Oh ,
here ' s where you were up again, Ed.
Because you
were up when the computer screwed up , wer en ' t you?
Yes.
I saw the light.
Okay.
During the course of our passes over the
States , here, around 75 hours , I was told to do
Orbital Nav Check N:l.9 at about 75: 30, and I was
to do Or bital Nav Check NolO at about 75: 50, Okay.
I completed the Orbital Nav Check, Run No. 9, and
then you must have waked up , I think.
I think
you wer e asleep when I did that.
