Erts 1 return-beam-vidicon (RSV) camera system was shut down after unexpected power surge. RSV system was second experiment to be shut down because of power surge; first had been No. 2 tape recorder Aug. 3. Although both systems could be operated, shutdowns were necessary to determine whether operation would damage experiments and to identify exact cause of problem. Eris 1 (launched July 23) was providing excellent images from multispectral scanner (MSS) system and No. 1 tape recorder was being used as required. (GSFC Release 16-72)
