-4-Activities planned between rendezvous maneuvers includetwo more dockings of Gdmini 10 with Agena 10. At 19 hours and26 minutes over the United States, Command Pilot Young will undockin darkness and move the spacecraft three feet back to conductan ion wake measurement experiment (S-26).He then will translate to 60 feet behind the target beforemoving in at half-a-foot per second to re-dock. Pilot Collinswill undock about 30 minutes before daylight, repeat the S-26experiment and the 60-foot translation, then will re-dock some20 minutes after sunrise.About 22 hours and 20 minutes into the mission, the crewwill pcwer-down Agena 10 and separate from it at two feet persecond. The Agena 10 will remain dormant in a co-elliptic orbitnine miles below Agena 8 until ground controllers reactivateit later in the mission.Thirty-five minutes later Collins will open his hatch andstand exposed to space for 55 minutes. During this period ofstand-up extravehicular activity he will carry out five differentphotographic experiments.-more-
-5-He will be connected to the spacecraft oxygen supply byshort hoses and to the cockpit by a nylon tether. Communicationsand biomedical instrumentation will be maintained overa short umbilical extension.For his second extravehicular activity, about 48 hours intothe mission, and lasting 55 minutes, Collins will operate froma 50-foot line using a hand-held maneuvering unit (HHMU). Duringthis EVA he will evaluate the extravehicular life support system(ELSS) and the nitorgen gas-fed maneuvering unit. He also willconduct two micrometeoroid experiments.EVA pilot pickup may be attempted. The command pilotwould then translate the spacecraft toward the extravehicularastronaut, allowing the EVA pilot to return to the spacecraftby pulling himself along the umbilical.An hour after he has returned to the cabin and the spacecrafthas moved away from the Agena 8, Collins once more willopen the hatch to jettison some EVA equipment that includes theumbilical, the maneuvering unit and the ELSS chest pack, theEVA visor and the standup EVA hoses and tether.-more-
