After seeing GT-6 1 s film of our back area, the straps
hanging off our spacecraft looked like they were all
intertwining in that boom area. It could probably foul up
that boom somewhat in future flights.
I mean in a
future flight if we still had that same problem it mi ght
foul up that boom and tear off tha t wire. There is a
wire that goes out to the end of that thing.

All the experiments we talked about so far were well
presented before hand.
We knew exact ly what we were
going to do, and the only reason we weren't able to
uo it was 1) weather, 2) lack of fuel, and 3) in the
case of the D-5, the equipment broke down.
I think
we got a substantial amount of S-5 and S-6 done.
As a matter of fact we got everything done that was
called up and we got a lot more done just in general
pho tography.
