Yes , I picked that up later on because I wasn't
even concerned with it since we had a good orbit.
Once we had a good orbit that kind of information
wasn't that important.
Do you want the IVI readings at this time?
Yes, you might just as well read them out.
The IVI readings at the time we decided to read
them --at zero, zero, zero on the attitude indi­
cator~- 20 forward, right 11, down 5.
The attitudes weren't really what they should
have been, because we had a good insertion and
we had to go right then and we had to get turned
around and get at that booster. I didn't fool
around with getting the spacecraft at.exactly the
right attitude to read out the IVI's.
I thought
that was of a:~;:i.demic interest . It would be great
for post-flight analysis but it wasn ' t going to
help the flight at all. So I didn ' t do justice
to those things. I'm sure that we can go back
and resurrect this thing to find out exactly
what it was. It wasn't very meaningful at the
time.
The orbit maneuvers consisted of really
just chasing the booster around and reading up the
IVI ' s as they came out.
We received all our updates
