...Neither the automatic nor the manual controls for the oxygen tank heater would function. And getting at the heater itself was out of the question. Located in the adapter section, it was inaccessible to the crew. The astronauts flicked switches off and on again and again, trying somehow to stir the system into life. They maneuvered the spacecraft around so chat its blunt end, which housed the fuel-cell system, would get the full impact of the sun's rays. But the sun was no help.
