some feeling.

Did your freak electric static charge worked on electron and magnometer, we didn't get any performance at all on those three.

First, from an instrumentation standpoint, we had - the switches were acceptable, even to me, I thought Ed was asleep when we had to turn those things on, I had to reach across with this thing we call the swivel stick which is about this long and has an unusually shaped end on it that we could reach under the switches and flick them on and off with it.

Ed, did you see the....... extend?

No.

It wasn't extended?

No, it wasn't extended.

Did you ever see the the back end, did you get far enough back to get to look in deep enough to see it?

No.

Did you hear it extend?

No. I extended it the first time but I really didn't see it.

Throughout the flight, what - we probably - what did it cycle there, about 5 times.

Just in case that anyone time there was something wrong with it, wouldn't extend, would you attempt to extend it going through the extend cycle about 4 or 5 times during the flight.

Just in case something was wrong with it at any one time that it might get out to it. We never retracted it, so, if it works, then nothing could have happened.

When did you turn the switch off? The.......switch.
