I thought the suit mobility was as good in the
spacecraft as it is anywhere else.
I think these
sui ts are pretty good suits .
I didn' t fi nd any
trouble with them whatsoever i~ the spacecraft
that I wasn' t already awar e of.
The pressure held
up good.
I did a pressure check on the suit. It
bled down about 0. 2 or 0. 3 psi in about 30 seconds ,
which really wasn ' t too bad.
The temperature was
always good. It ran between about 50 and 55
degr ees diring the entire flight except when we
really worked hard.
I don ' t think it ever got up
over 60 .
Do you , Ed?
No.
We had reasonably good temperature control .
The cabin temperature got up pretty high one time
and then it came back down.
Yes , on about the first orbit .
