Well, that there again.
Ti-ie cryos were really
the only problem we had with electrical.
The main
bat teries ... the times that Pete touched them they
were just exactly like advertised.
Conrad
Yes, they were 22½ volts every time we tested them,
Cooper
No problem at all. Squib batteries were fine , no
problem.
Conrad
Squib batteries came down about, I would say
2½ volts during the whole flight.
We
st arted out with a common ccmtrol bus t hat had been
27½ vol t s and at the end of the flight it was 24. 7
or something like that, 24, 8 or something. It came
down about 3 volts. But one thing that nobody ever
tol d me, was man, when you fire thrusters and
things like that you can see a l ot of t ransients on
that common control bus.
That thing really gets
to oscil l ating up and down.
I wasn' t sure some­
thing wasn't wrong at the beginning, SlJd I just pass
that on as a tip to people who go later.
