whole time.
ECS was good.
Never any problem with it .
Sounds , I thought the only sounds tha·; we had that
were abnormal we'd been warned about.
When the
prevalves opened, they were fairly loud and when
the engines gimballed they were quite loud , and
both of those we were aware of the fact that they
would cause a lot of noise and vibrat:.on.
There is something that really dings t he booster
too when they start.. . .
I don ' t--whet her they
drop a platform away.
It ' s before they start moving the gant ry.
Just before they start lowering that erector. Boy,
something really, like it really bangs that booster,
I thought.
I still don't know what it is , but , of
course, we ' d been up there with the erector down
twice before that so we were sort of e~tting used
to those kind of sounds.
Okay, vibrations we already covered tr.at .
Sounds ,
vibrations.
