082:16:31 Henize: 15, this is Houston. We'd like to verify, over on panel 226, that the O2 Tank 50 Watt Heater circuit breakers, 1 Main B and 2 Main A are open. And, if they're not open, let's open them.
082:16:50 Irwin: Stand by.

[Panel 226 carries circuit breakers associated with the Electrical Power System.]

082:17:03 Irwin: Okay. The two circuit breakers that are open are O2 Tank Heaters, 50 Watts, 1 Main B, and 2 Main A.
082:17:12 Henize: Roger. I understand they have been open. Is that correct?

082:17:19 Irwin: That's correct.

082:17:22 Henize: Okay. The reason we ask is that the temperatures weren't quite as we expected. Thank you.

[The three cryogenic oxygen tanks in the SM contain heaters which, if required, can be used to compensate for the drop in pressure and temperature experienced by the tank as it empties.]
