Let ' s see at 14:15, day 4, D-4, D- 7,
410c.
D-4 , D- 7, 410c was--that•s one of the
ones where we were supposed to track
a star or something--yeah, we were
supposed to track Nunki and we never
could find it because it was-­
It was up in first, early-­
It was up early--we had troubln with
that .
That' s another thing I could have
recommended those gu:ys--we got enough
to do in the spacecraft not to worry
about setting up the star chart and
figuring out from the- -somethir..g you
can' t do from the star chart is figure
out a pitch and yaw angle and the
grormd' s got that information up the
kazoo, so on any of these ones where
they want you to photograph some stars
or anything else-you've got to platform
up again - the easiest thing to do is
send up a pitch and yaw with it and
that just takes all the work out of it
