your pictures would be black and maybe if you had a random failure of the mirror back there it might take a picture sometime, sometime not. The back plate - there were exposures on almost every frame. There weren't these, I guess a fairly large number of frames that were black.

Were the frames intermittently that were black on these?

No, no, that I recall. I looked - I didn't look at all of them - but I looked at a fairly good string of them and there were a couple of them, one or two points, one point where there is a small overlap in the frame, but that is about the only problem that we found on the black and white.

Well, are there exceptions in the color that are black?

In the color, yes. There are.

I think this is - -

I don't know - -

There is no indication that you got a random failure in the mirror then?

Right, you see we are applying this on GT-5. Three experiments and we are kind of concerned about that.

I think you should be really.

Did you see dust particles floating out the cabin when you had the hatch open. If you did, what floated out?

Yes, we did see dust particles, there was dust floating from the inside to the outside, I think they are just going from a high pressure area to a low pressure area.

Just obvious.

Right, my suit pedals had a lead rate of about 90 cc's......
