The Minneapolis Honeywell stabilization and control system ass consisting of gyros that sense the capsule s pitch Roll and Yaw motions and an electronic brain to give orders to the next part of the system. A number of jets on the out Side of the capsule to adjust its position. They consist of Small one Pound jets and larger High thrust jets. When the capsule started to Yaw to the right some of the High thrust nozzles were automatically turned on and they drove the Cap suit Back to its proper position the Tribune said. Kraft was quoted As saying. The yawing had to be caused by a Mal functioning one Pound Jet or Trou ble with the logic in the ass. Our examination shows clearly that it was the Jet. The signal was being Given to the Jet to generate the Force but the Jet was Mal functioning. Over Africa this cleared itself. But then he started having trouble with another one Pound Jet Mak ing the capsule Drift to the it was this yawing Kraft said that made Glenn switch off the ass and control the capsule manually or partly manually. Glenn s mistake came in the operation of his spacecraft controls during his second orbit Kraft was quoted As saying.

Inous objects that he described on his second pass Over the Pacific the Story said Glenn turned the capsule around 180 degrees but the fireflies remained constant proving they were Independent of his Craft. Glenn s mistake Kraft was quoted As saying occurred when he made the 180-degree Man Euver. He neglected to put the Gyro switch in a free position As he should have and this drove his attitude control instruments off proper the Tribune quoted Pierce As saying that the capsule is automatically set to pitch Forward a Little bit every minute to keep the astronaut vertical in relation to the Earth As he circles the Globe. When Glenn turned around and in effect did t flip the off switch the capsule kept pitching Only then it pitched in the wrong direction the newspaper said. The Tribune quoted Pierce As saying when he turned Back around he thought the gyros were goofed off because there was a lot going on and he was t thinking of their program. The horizon scan ners eventually would have sent them Back to Correct position income but Glenn remained in manual control although he did use Auto Matic control during his Retro rocket firing that returned him to Earth.
