fairly routine, and it appeared routine ' to me
too as it began to steer into zero and steered
right on into zero .
As we approached iSEXJO the
error started to increase a little bit and in­
creased out to a little less than a degree in
pitch-down on the error needle .
Aside from that,
we didn ' t have,,as far as I can see, any other error
that was worth talking about during launch.
Okay, at SECO + 20 the IVI ' s counted up as we
separated,rolled around, and did all the maneuvers
we were supposed to. The IVI's acted as they should.
When I got turned around and was faced toward the
spacecraft,I was in a hurry to get all these
things done .
I started thrusting and I went from
Ascent to Catch-Up, and then hit the Start Comp
button.~
I lost a couple of feet/second here,
but this was sort of insignificant at the time.
The IVI's counted up in the Catch-Up Mode and they
operated properly throuehout the rest of the chase­
phase of the mission.
We were getting the kind
of information that we needed right there early
in the flight .
Ed had 52 punched in and it read
out at 30 feet/second, I think he said earlier.
