As soon as it was extended, after about 30 seconds or so. What ever it said in the flight.

30 seconds.

Have you got any data back on it yet?

Seven on the computer.

Any other questions on those three?

What was the cost of the photography? The weather and marine photography.

Did you skip MSC-10?

Okay, 10.

I would like to say we got some good pictures and I appreciate it.

There again, it was a pretty straight forward experiment. We didn't have any difficulty with it.

I've got a couple of questions about the ES5. A couple of things that came up last night. You said - you know the systematic photography across the United States, every 5 seconds, how did you time that?

Count, or clock or how?

I started the event timer with the digital clock that we got in minutes and seconds, and then I controlled spacecraft and then I set the mark every 5 seconds.

I see, and I'd crunked the camera on and took the pictures.

Did the same subject, do you think that one man could do this by himself. This is important to the flight plan, do you think it takes both men to do it?

I think so; it would be very difficult to time it and control the spacecraft as you take the pictures.
