checked the aft- firing thrusters No . 9 and 10
as we had in the TR- 36 Checklist, except we
did it between TR-45 and 40.
Got them all
checked out, so that by the time we came over
Carnarvon we just went ahead and started up our
event timer on their mark.
We confirmed with
Carnarvon that we had indeed checked on maneuver
thrusters and that they were all right.
We got
this checklist completed well in advance too .
We went through it a couple of t imes , although
there really wasn ' t much to it after the Man­
euver Thruster Check,
I guess we could proba­
bly follow the retrofire itself here .

I juet covered most of this.
I set the event
timer up well in advance of Carnarvon.
At
Carnarvon, I got the TR-36 hack.
I got the
event timer started right on the money.
We
got a hack on it later and it was indeed with
the ground times .
I checked the aft-firing
thrusters prior to reaching Carnarvon, and I
told Carnarvon that I had indeed checked them
