control - I had already mentioned on there­

control-- I had already mentioned how we
shot the reentry.
No primary heater lights.
Heater lights on the RCS - they were on
practically--we had the heater on 99 percent
of the whole flight.
We turned it off, got
heater lights on Ring A first, brought the
RCS heaters on then rechecked-heater light
went off and turned the heater off and about
five or ten minutes later-fifteen minutes
later, the heater light came on and then it
was on Ring Band we turned the heater back
on and this went on five or six times and
finally we just turned the heater on and
left it on the whole flight.
I monitored
the temper~tures f~equently throughout the
whole flight in the RCS Ring A - temperature
ran about 70 degrees or about 65 degrees
and the RCS Ring B temperature ran about
70 to 72 degrees the entire flight .
