spacecraft separation I think Jim and I both
noticed a lot of stuff coming by the spacecraft.
Right.
Just plain debris was all it was.
Just
pieces of whi te junk came by.
Probably little bitty pieces of the adapter there.
In fact , when I got out and looked later on at
the spacecraft separation plane, there were pieces
of the same kind of white stuff still
back there attached jaggedly to the adapter
section. Fairing jettison - - I couldn't see
that .
Did you see anything on the fairing
jettison?
When I jettisoned the fairings , I saw the
I
horizon scanner fairing go whipping off, but I
couldn't l ! ok at it and the nose fairing both.
S~ I only saw the one go, but there were some
more pieces flying all over the place, and they
went just as soon as I punched the .Fairing­
Jettison Bitton.
Boy!
We've been talking about these things for
t he last ten days .
The f irst one is geographical.
