had the launch, insertion, M:>de II and M)de III
aborts, EVA, the suit check and all the things
that we were going to use in the first five orbits
of the flight on one set of cards.
We had another
set of cards from Pre-Retro Checklist down to the
post landing and emergency egress .
The cards
included all the plots that were needed to do all
the retrofire and to make corrections to take
care of all the non-nominal things that might
happen to us during the retrofire.
We also had
in this group of cards a card that we used to con­
tain the final retro information such as with
OAMS or without OAMS
burns , time to reverse bank,
and all the other things that we had. It was a
format , something that cou1d be easily held in
our hands and was actually used during the launch,
during insertion, and during reentry.
We actually
had these cards out so we could check them off.
White
I thought the only thing we would have out during
these t wo critical busy periods of time were these
two easy- to-hold, easy-to-operate, hand-held card
checklists. The rest of the stuff was all stowed
away.
