Borman
We got a lot of good reentries.
Lovell
Well, that ' s procedures.
We got a lot of good reentries,
and we got a lot of good lift-offs with the trainer.
One thing that helped us out quite a bit on procedures
was the visual displays.
Borman
For stowage we kept the wooden mock-up in Houston up
to our configuration.
It came up better than I 've ever
seen it before.
We did several exercises on the Gemini
Crew Station Mock-up. We used that as distinct from the
simulator for stowage.
Lovell
The stowage mock-up was also used for ex:periments,
to copy down updates, to put together equipment,
to find out what electrical leads went where, and
to practice using equipment inside the spacecraft.
That wey we didn't have to tie up the valuable Gemini
Mission Simulator, that had a lot of electronics
attached to it , with training that required
only a simulation of space and envi r onment.
We acquired a pretty good knowledge of the systems
with the si mulator.
