We always had the ACQ off when we were transmitting.
The only possible problems that we could have had with
this expe=lment was when we lost our ~ape recorder.
We
could not put some of the data on tape.
We had to always
take the data over a receiving station.
Lovell
Or use the recorder.
Borman
Or use a recorder.

One problem which we did ha.ve a.nd which I was not briefed
on was the fact that I inadvertently l eft the gear on one
time and it gave a nine second pulse on the main ammeter
system.
We could not figure out what this glitch was
coming in on the Main Bus.
Borman
This was right after we lost the thrusters.
We thought
there might have been something in the ACME bias power
or something in the in,rerter that was breaking down and
putting out a glitch.
We called the ground to tell them
we found it and they said t hat i t was exactly what the
ground had thought it was.
Borman
Cloud illumination lightning; we got some good
lightning shots for them.
Day land measurements, we
got.
Ascension Calibration was done twice.
