progressing down to 90 degrees line, e. la the
simulator, although the booster sets on 85 degrees
and when you turn to 72 degrees launch azimuth
you are rolling clockwise so far as tr.e crew is
concerned.
You roll to zero .
But you are rolling to is real ly to O on the gyro
as precessed around so that you are net really
setting on the actual launch azimuth, you are
actually setting so that when you stai§'e on over i n
yaw then pitch over then in your yaw your on the in­
plane line.
You're coming down the zero line .
Y01.:. 1re yawing
down the zero l ine .
That 's right, and I kept getting diffe.rent answers
on this and this is in fact the case. Roll program
was exactly right on time and ended e>:actly on time.
Pitch program started exactly on time.
Aerodynamic was nothing new or differE:nt about it.
It was just standard. We build up to the noises at
max Q; the noise built up to gradual level and the
vibration and quantity built up to ma>:~ and then
dropped off very rapidly J.1'd:i!Jitely thereafter.
