I confirm that that is the configuration we're in.

Roger. Let us do a little more detective work here and we'll see if we can come up with something.

Roger. We copy.

Have you seen all three axes fire?

We've seen pitch and yaw; we've not seen roll to date.

Okay. I'll put in a couple more rolls.

Okay. We've got the roll impulses, and you're looking good here.
