10 MAR:

previous MLR results:

[[left margin]]MLR[[/left margin]]

STS-3: started with 2 1/2 μ seed latexes. Grew to 5 μ (as hoped)
STS-4: electrical problem - only got 18 V on experiment; no rcdr data, reaction didn't complete. 
The latexes were "finished" on the ground....
STS-6: repeat of STS-4 - hope will be to go from 5 1/2 μ to 12 μ
STS-7 will use STS-6 results

notes:

· "pre-process" requires only 1 STS bus (& they don't care whether we disconnect one of outlets). Process requires both buses, or the 10A fuse will blow, terminating ops
· MLR will shut itself down (pre or process) for a pwr transient, or an overtemp
· PWR tb will read "OFF" if either orbiter bus is disconnected
· MLR shuts off at termination automatically - but the rcdr keeps going, + will overwrite if not turned off by crew (accomplished by taking switch to "PRE")
