I think we had some bias, just how much I don ' t lmow.
The timing of the translation was fine , updating was
fine.
Operations and checklist were okay.
Computer
usage, okay.
Conrad
It was easier to make a burn on the simulator that
had no up-down or left and right in it than it was
in the spacecraft.
Gordo did a real good job of
tracking on every burn and I didn't see it wander
hardly at all.
Cooper
And all the IVI ' s would be zero.
Conrad
And all the IVI
1 s would be zero, but we'd have .4. of
10
a foot in one axis and ~O in another.

Yes.
The worst cross- coupling, we had 10 in one
axis, and when we burned in the platform mode, but
we were checking that.
It could have been accelero­
meter bias again, or, the spacecraft is more sensi­ •
tive to picking up up- down and l eft­ right velocities
than I thought it was .
Conrad
Gordo did a real good job of tracking.
He tracked
as well as he did in the simulator and we never had
this show up in another axis in the simulator.
Cooper
It would be zero , zero, zero in the simulator.
Conrad
It was hardly worth my time checking address 81 and
82 in the simulator because I could just tell he
