retro-;;ett squib on, and I punched off tho retro- -­
The light came on And you punched it .
That 's right.
The light came on at 45 seconds
and I punched it.
There was a real solid bang,
and I knew we separated from the retropack.
No
doubt there either.
As we went on down , we
finally sa•,r the retropack com,::- on around behind
us .
Do you have anything else on the retropack
jettison? I guess not.
That ' s pretty simple.
We got the com from t:~e ground.
I thought we had good communicat.tons with the
ground.
No problems with the communications.
I was a
little concerned with the communications
earlier in the flight , because we wer en' t get-•
ting anything.
We weren't getting retrofire
times or any other information.
But to~ards
the end of the f light coouwmica.tio:is wer,1 8iC­
