Flight Techniques

[[left margin]] FLT TECH [[/left margin]]
1. VRCS- off test: don't want jets to drop below 130°F (problem with leaks => [[zots?]] if re-fired... can't tell why T is going below 130° - could be result of leak). Htrs should cycle  ~137° -> 160° STS-1 only reached ~142°F. Investigating (1) thermal short (2) heater undersizing by looking for steady-state. Don't expect T to fall below 130° with heaters on...  ∴ OK to run 10 hr VRCS-off test with htrs on (which is per FTO)

->VRCS (2 per pod) are thermally coupled

2. RMS jettison procedure.....Lo Z? 
                              DISCRETE?
                             COMPENSATION?

3. Give DAP issues pitch to KS: ops notes on DAP

-> 4. OIT: aft RHC (-Z)   y (±R)
                          fires ∓ R

5. VRCS activity lights not being fixed: no answer as to whether lights will burn out. 

Transcription Notes:
∴ = therefore STS - Space Transportation System-1, -2, etc. Not ST3-1 or ST5-1. S often looks like a number.
