McDivitt
I think what we could say here is that we turned
MSC-1 on and off when it said in the flight plan
and when directed by the people on the ground.
11 , 5 Proton-Electron Spectrometer and Tri-Axis Flus-Gate Magnetometer
(MSC- 2 and MSC-3)
McDivitt
We turned off MSC-2 and -3 according to real­
time flight planning from the ground and when­
ever the flight plan in t he air called for it.

We had one time when I ran a double small-end­
forward set of runs through the Anomaly.
The
f irst time , I fel t that the heading had not been
accurate enough for the small-end-forward
requirement.
We were doing it without the
platform on the stars , and the first time
through I wasn ' t satisfied with it .
S~ I called
down to the ground and told them that I wasn ' t
satisfied with the run and that I ' d make a
repeat run the next time. This I did , and I
left the equipment on throughout both runs and
for an hour after that. So, we effectively have
two small-end rtms through the South Atlanti c
Anomaly.
