MSC-07631 01. Suiting and Ingress

Cernan

Except for one small item, the entire suiting and ingress and all equipment supporting it was nominal. There were no complications or problems. Suit circuit checks and cabin closeout were rapid and complete and, to the best of our knowledge from inside the cabin, went very well.

Evans

The anomaly Gene mentioned was my insuit drink bag. Unfortunately, I didn't try it out prior to putting on the helmet. I wish I would have now, because the waterbag itself had gotten twisted sideways underneath the neckring instead of hanging straight down from the neckring. The tube was crimped and I was unable to get any water whatsoever out of it.
