scanner ignore lights.
The next step is the
Hoon Scanner Check.
We did this with the
moonset and , Ed , you might add the time that we
did the Sun Scanner Check.
The Sun Scanner Check was at Greenwich Mean
Time of 11 : 50,
We ' 11 have to correlate that lat er·.
I think that we were supposed to be in the blunt-
end to the sun configuration at 11:54 and star+-· ~b c-.re,
but I 'm not really sure about that . Okay, the moon
check was performed just about like t he sun
check.
We started blunt- end to the moon and
made t wo cycles.
Blunt- end t o small-end and back
to blunt- end, and small-end back to blunt end.
Ed , go ahead and read the data.
Okay.
On the moonset , we started with the moon
quite high, so we had a good moon.
We started
at 12: 17.
We had no scanner ignore lights for
the first 180 degrees and,actually,throughout
the next cycle we had no llll'llocks or any lights
for two cycles.
So this was completely normal.
The Thrusters Check No. ; --we turned the
spacecraft , since the thruster f iring wouldn't
influence the orbit except to change it
