day the cross-range needle was indicating properly.
The down-range needle, when it came on, stayed in
the same place all the time--all the way through?
Yes.
Full- scale.
Full- scale.
Right.
Just about full-scale on the
low range.
Okay.
How about any of the up-dating done during
reentry?
We got all the times .
We got all the times just
fine and I wrote them all down.
They gave us
enter blackout at 16:14, out of blackout at 21:20,
reverse bank at 19:25, bank left 54, and bank right
68.
The drogue time was 22+05, and the main time
was 23+48 ,
They were all good times.
I had them
all written down.
No problem.
They got the up­
dates in before blackout and in plenty of time be­
fore blackout, as a matter of fact .
We whistled
right in there. No sweat on the times .
I guess
maybe we went to the 90 degree bank or something
like that, but from about the time of lg to the time
of guidance locking out, which is roughly 100K and
t he altimeter coming· off the peg, man, I don't
knov whether it was just because we did it for real
