Indian Ocean but we never did see it.
Lovell
We had an S- 6 weather to get that too, but we never did
see it.
Borman
Air to ground relay of data was good.
Voice recorder usage,
this is one area where we are not r edundant.
If we had time
t o record all t he photographs we put in th8 log book and
not on the voice recorder in an effort to save tape.
Everything that was done, though, was logged either S-5,
S- 6, or in general photography.
Now, another item that is
going to degrade this was the scum on your window.
Lovell
Yes.
The window is an area which we are going to have
to work on.
Borman
As it got worse and worse, we shifted so that I was
taking the pictures, but I had scum on my window also. The
major problem t hough, here was just lack of fuel .
We could
not orient t he spacecraft t o cont rol it the way we wanted t o.
11.6 Protron El ectron Spectrometer, Tri-Axis Flux-Gate
Magnetometer.
Borman
We turned the switch on and l eft it on. I think we should
have reruns and reains of data, although unfortunately wit h the
t ape r ecorder being shot , I do not know what good it is going
t o do.
Lovell
Well, they got real time telemetry over the station.
Borman
Right.
