divided into zones to facilitate the recording of aquanaut location and 

 activities. 



Identifying information such as mission, dates, observer, and other routine 

 data was punched in early, leaving the observer free to punch new data once 

 every six minutes or as activities occurred. Specific events and unusual 

 events were added on an ad-lib basis. 



Special templates were prepared to permit recording of aquanaut activities 

 such as communication, posture, location, diving times, meal behavior (i.e., 

 preparation, cleanup, etc.), and sleep. 



Communications with topside were recorded to the nearest minute. The initiator 

 of communications (either topside or the specific aquanaut) and method and 

 duration of the communication were noted, along with the time of day. 



Specific events and unusual events were logged. The specific event categories 

 included housekeeping activities, habitat maintenance, habitat repair, baralyme 

 change, use of the head, time spent showering and doing the laundry, handling 

 food stores or the pressure pot, use of outside TV or TV tapes, use of radio, 

 use of general or personal leisure items. 



The Mood Adjective Checklist (MA.CL) was administered twice daily. The MA.CL is 

 described in detail in the Human Behavior Section. 



In addition to the above data, two special forms were completed by the aqua- 

 nauts for the Habitability program. These are the Habitability Assessment 

 Rating Scales (HARS) , administered five days prior to termination of the dives, 

 and the TEKTITE Environmental Assessment (TEA) administered four days before 

 the dives terminated. These two rating scales were used to provide information 

 on the subjective reaction of the aquanauts to important habitability features 

 of the habitat that might have implications for manned space vehicle design. 

 The HARS and TEA are described in detail in the Habitability Assessment Program. 



Finally, an extensive, highly structured debriefing session for each aquanaut 

 was conducted immediately following emergence from the decompression chamber 

 after each dive.
