M. \ continued from Page 1 said the Retro rocket firing was less than perfect but it Carpen Ter is right about having the Cap sule in Neh proper attitude then we be got some surprises for project Mercury officials who ascribed the overshoot to a too shallow re entry path. People who Tell us not to Send a Man into space should Lake Page from this Book Powers said. Powers indicated that telemetry reports from the spacecraft might have been wrong. That could be Why the Pilot depending on disown faculties and visual observation took Over control and aligned his Craft in what he believed was the proper attitude for returning to Earth for the splashdown. At one Point during his Fligh Carpenter indicated he was Able to change the attitude of the Cap sule by moving his head or arms. The Mercury space capsule is de signed like a Badminton shuttle cock and its Blunt end always should face Forward while in the atmosphere. Carpenter tired Oil 3rd Lap _ continued from Page 1 world hanging for 41 minutes As to whether the capsule might have burned upon re entry medical men were conc cried about extreme blood pressure an pulse readings from Carpenter Dur ing the flight excessive fuel consumption May have been caused by a fault Gyroscope reference system. Almost aborted an erroneous radio signal 226seconds after launching while the Atlas was still propelling Carpen her upward indicated trouble with part of the rocket s Hydraulic system and an automatic signal triggered the abort by Lem to pull the capsule away and end the mis Sion. But a backup trigger sensed no trouble and prevented the abort.1 Asa said the overshoot resulted because his capsule was 8to 10 degrees off its intended attitude or tilt Angle at the rime re verse rockets were fire it Over California to bring the Craft out of orbit a there was some speculation at the briefing that Carpenter s tired Ness Inay have contributed to the of of an Gle. The Hawaii station re ported on his condition on the third orbit he was quite concerned about his capsule attitude and therefore on several occasions when Cap com capsule communicator triad to get him on his Retro sequence he kept returning to what he was doing we told him to get ready for the Retro sequence and he started doing something else. There was some confusion whether he under stood what the order was. We had the impression that hews very confused about what was going on. But it was very difficult to assess whether he was confused or preoccupied. He certainly was a different Man on this pass than on. The preceding the Woomera Australia station said we also feel the astronaut was acting somewhat tired during the last spokesman at the Bermuda Post noting the tiredness said that earlier in the orbit it had noticed the oxygen pressure in the capsule was decreasing and won dered if the emergency oxygen system should not have been used. A voice not identified broke Inland said you know How we feel about the emergency rate so Iwon t say anything More about there was no explanation. Mercury control Center at Cape canaveral reported it had no indication Why the capsule was off attitude at the time of Retro fire and that radio data and car Penter s analysis would have to be studied of the off Angle the control Center reported the Retro fired four to five seconds later than planned. This resulted in Amore shallow re entry Angle but canaveral said radar and other tracking devices pinpointed the Landing Point almost immediately after the ignition. Because of the shallow path re entry heat did not Cut off communications until 40 seconds later than planned. Ninety seconds later signals were received from an Electrocardiogram and other medi Cal sensors and Mercury control knew the capsule had not burned or broken up during re entry. There was no voice received Dur ing the 15 seconds that radio con tact was made. Then the capsule vanished Over the horizon out of Range of tracking Cruft and stations until a Latip picked up a signal from the capsule Radi Beacon and homed in on it. In a report on medical aspects of the Mission a flight burgeon at Mercury control Center said Dur ing All the flight we noted a wide variance in blood pressure read Ings. The last Reading we had was210 Over 60 and this is too he also said pulse pressure was High at times. We can t explain it right could be a faulty sensor Reading he reported an erroneous sensor was responsible during the first pass for a High body temperature Reading and that at one time Button on Carpenter s blood pres sure device became said that suit temperature Rose 3.2 degrees on the first passover the Kano. Nigeria station and at that time we should have stopped his exercising it was later in the flight that Carpenter was ordered to Stop exercising primarily by pulling an elastic surgeon said that Carpenter s body temperature actually did Riseon the second and third orbits fluctuating Between 101 and 104 on the second pass and Between 101 and 102 on the final circuit the surgeon said that Carpenter drank lots of water because of the warmth Mote May kill medicare in committee to.
