CC: Well, all I can say, it might be appropriate, but it's not very musical.
CC: Thank you, guys.
CDR: Epic, Bob, epic. At least you know it's from the bottom of our - hearts.
CC: And just to let you guys know that I'm not easily swayed and made soft by such shows of sentiment, I want to remind the
CDR: and the
LMP: that they're going to start collecting their urine from now on, and you shouldn't have been dumping it since 197:00.
CDR: Okay, we're in the process of changing over.
CC: Okay, and COVERs are OPEN on the UV and the IR, so we won't be dumping it anyway right now, tonight, right?
CC: And, Jack, you're going to be on the biomed tonight? Whose side are you on? Of course, I am. Bob, I'm hooking up right now. I sort of rested my - my own personal sensors and I'm putting the mechanical ones on - electrical ones, I guess.
CC: Okay, I tell you what. If you wait 6 minutes until after LOS to finish that, you'11 leave the Surgeon in suspense until you come around on AOS. That '11 help keep him awake. Okay, I'11 see what I can do one way or the other. I24P Not according to Flight Plan.
CDR: Hey, Bob.
CDR: Would you say what you said a little while ago a about the waste - not waste dumps, but urine dumps?
CDR: and LA_P collect urine in UTSs until 208 hours," so that's until tomorrow morning. And I was Just reminding you that we don't want to be hosing it overboard right now because the UV and IR COVERs are OPEN, and we presumed that, since you'd already done the waste water and the H2 purge on the back side, that - that sufficient time has passed to open them. And I guess that we sort of presumed that you weren't in the mode of dumping urine overboard. APOLLO 17 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CMP: Okay, that's fine. I - I was thinking of the bus collection system - that's fine.
CDR: Okay, thank you, Robert. We're hastening to finish the checklist and get to sleep, and unless we have some problems or questions, we won'ttalk to you until tomorrow.
CC: Okay, talk to you temorrow night.
LMP: Hey, here, Bob_ - Bob, on the biomed LMP, if it doesn't show up to my normal standards, it's be- cause maybe the sensors have come off. I'm - I've put a little of the bacterial salve on them and they probably won't stick too well. But I'11 do the best I can.
CC: Okay, that'11 make the Surgeon happy.
CDR: And before we fade out of sight, you might look at the biomed.
LMP: Whoops, I got one left.

CC: (Music: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack)
CC: Good morning, America. The friendly Gold Team is standing by.
CMP: Good morning, Gold Team, this is the command module pilot of the spaceship America, and we're ready to go to work again this morning.
CC: Okay, well, you don't have to do much for a while but eat and get squared away.
CDR: Good morning, down there. This is the commander of the spaceship America, and I'm glad to see that the CAPCOM console is well guarded this morning.
CC: Roger; yes indeed. We've got one gate here and I'm guarding it.
CDR: I'm a little bit disappointed, though. The music was good, but I expected the Marine Hymn or some- thing like that.
CC: Oh, I wouldn't do that to you this early in the morning.
LMP: Better now and get it over with.
LMP: Has your - has your flight director changed or is it the same little fellow back there?
CC: No, we've got Nell back there and a whole new team since you went to bed.
LMP: Who selected that song, Joe Allen?
CC: No, that's - that's Nell's special. You've got Nell Hutchinson to blame on that one.
CC: I must say he had a lot of accomplices on that, tOO_ SO -
LMP: Yes, Bob, I think maybe that's one of the best songs that's come out in the last 10 years, if you ask me.
CC: Go ahead [
CMP: I think mag QQ is all gone. Shall I use the RR?
CC: Hey, Ron, at 208 - -
CMP: ... or something- -
CC: - - 05 there, we're going to delete that solar- corona pass anyway. I've got a Flight Plan update I'11 give you at 208 there, and we're going to have to delete that solar-corona pass. 30, forget it.
LMP: Well, my goodness. I should have been watching the weather for you, Bob. We'11 come and warm things up for you before long.
CC: Roger. APOLLO17 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CMP: Okay, Houston. Stand by l, here I've got my hands full of - *** PRD thing.
CC: Okay, the only thing we want to tell you is don't do the solar corona, and we've already told you that. We'11 get back with you later on that. If you want, I'11 read you the morning news.
CC: America, this is Houston.
CC: Hey, you can probably tell by the comm that this is Jerry. This is - the Gold Team has been handed over to the able hands of Neil. Before things go too far, I'11 be around watching for the rest of the flight, of course, but before things got too far I wanted to pass my comments on to you guys that - boy, this has really been super. You guys have - between the performance of you guys and the performance of the hardware, it's been a piece of cake down here. I hope it's staying that same way up there, and we're really looking forward to fin- ishing this thing up and getting you on back home. And my hat's off to you.
CDR: Okay, Jerry, I appreciate those words, but any per- formance of ours, and certainly that of the hard- ware, has to go all to the performance of you guys down there, because, you know, you are the guys that make it happen and we do appreciate it. And I guess this is sort of a semiretirement for you then, is that right?
CC: Well, I don't know whether to call it semiretirement. It's - it's a relaxed feeling, I'11 tell you that. But I'm anxious to do it again and hope I get a chance to do something more like this.
CDR: You bet you. We're all going to keep doing it; and, listen, you couldn't have left it in a more able set of hands than Nell's down there. We'11 have to celebrate your B-day or 4-day rest period when we get back.
CC: Roger. Talk to you later.
CDR: I didn't - I didn't realize we wore you out.
CDR: Jerry, that spacecraft that we were working with was undoubtedly the best vehicle along with America that I've ever flown.
CC: Okay, well I'11 be talking to you later.
CDR: Still ... babe.
LMP: Jerry, this is Jack. Thanks a lot, boy.
CC: That's affirmed if you - if you're there, we'd like it.
LMP: I 'm here.
CDR: Okay, Houston, we're going to do the pan camera; stand by.
LMP: Okay, say again, Geno.
CDR: Mode is STANDBY and Houston -
CDR: And if you're curious V/H is HIGH ALTITUDE.
CMP: Okay, Houston; America here. I've got some medical logs and food.
CC: Okay, go ahead. We're listening.
LMP: medical log. PRD is packed down there with the suit; so, we'11 have to get it later. He had 6 hours of good sleep. Took a Seconal. Fluids - he had lots of fluids - but they weren't logged. Okay, LMP's - okay day 10, I guess, meal Charlie. Had turkey and gravy, and I need to start writing - No. I had a citrus beverage, coffee, fruit cake, meatballs, lemon pudding and lemonade. Hey, Houston, instead of a turkey and gravy that was really a beef and gravy.
CMP: Okay, we'11 go over the CMP. Meal A had bacon squared, scrambled eggs, orange juice, and coffee, vitamins; Meal B - need some light (laughter) meal B is chicken and rice soup, meatballs with sauce, butterscotch pudding, orange drink, carmel candy, apricot cereal cubes, brownies - I guess that was it. Meal Charlie, potato soup, beef and gravy, the ambrosia peaches there - about half of it - four brownies, and an orange drink. Okay, on the medical log: PRD is 15047 and I had about 6-1/2 hours of sleep in, oh, catnaps I guess - some of them were a couple hours long. And had two sniffs of nose drops on each side prior to going to sleep and five cans of fluid. OkaV, for the Con_nander's menu - how did we get to day 10 - it was only day 9 yesterday wasn't it?
CC: Ron, excuse us. Would you have somebody turn the PAN CAMERA POWER to OFF, please?
CC: Roger; we'd like the IR COVER, CLOSED, and the UV COVER, CLOSED, at this time.
CDR: Okay. I'11 improve, Ron.
CMP: Well, it takes a little training.
CDR: Takes a little training once you get back from the lunar surface.
CMP: Okay, Houston, LTV COVER is CLOSED- and gray. IR COVER is CLOSED and gray.
CMP: Okay. Ready for the commander's menu, day 9, meal Charlie?
CMP: Houston, America. Are you all set to copy?
CC: Yes. We're ready to copy, Ron.
CMP: Hello, Houston. How do you read America?
CC: Read you loud and clear. We're ready to copy.
CMP: Okay, here we go. For the commander's day 9 meal Charlie, meatballs, butterscotch pudding, beef and gravy, orange-pineapple Juice, citrus Juice, chicken stew, apricots, and gingerbread. Okay, his medical log. He had 7 hours of very good sleep, no medication, and drank ].ots of fluids but nothing was logged on that part of it, and his PRD is also at his suit - down at the bottom of the suit bag so we ought to get it out here, shortly.
CC: Okay, Jack, we'd - quick break, we'd like the HIGH GAIN to AUTO and we'd like to get on with this Flight Plan update, please.
CC: Okay, and this is a real-time Flight Plan change. This real time right here, and right now if you'11 go MAPPING CAMERA COVER, OPEN, and MAPPING CAMERA, EXTEND, and give us a _,awk, we'11 time the extend time on it, please.
CDR: Okay, Bob, the MAPPING CAMERA COVER - Ready?
CC: Jack, will you go back to REACQ on the HIGH GAIN?
LMP: Okay, we're in REACQ.
CDR: ... I_ No, Gene, wait a minute.
CDR: No - no - okay, Bob. MAPPING CAMERA is going OP_.
CC: AUTO on the HIGH GAIN, first of all.
LMP: Okay, that's what they said - they wanted. Okay, going to AUTO again.
CDR: Houston, America. You say you're going to extend the mapping camera, now?
CC: That's affirmative, we're extending it early be- cause we want to time it, and extend it now, please, and give us a mark when you start it.
CC: Okay, and might as well finish up the Flight Plan updates if you don't mind. The next one is at 209:01.
LMP: Okay, go ahead; 209:01.
CC: You're going to delete the "MAPPING CAMERA/LASER ALTIMETER COVER, OPEN," and "MAPPING CAMERA EXTEND," at that position, because you've just done it. Just scratch them out.
LMP: Okay, Bob. I got that.
CC: Okay, and at 209:03, add - after "PAN CAMERA "V/H POWER" - add OVERRIDE, HIGH ALTITUDE." V/H
LMP: Okay, I got that: high alt at 209:03.
CC: That's affirmative, and - -
CMP: Okay, let me interrupt here a minute, Bob. Can we go ahead and dump with the mapping camera extended?
CMP: Okay. Nighty fine. Thank you.
CC: Okay, we'11 just show a full extend at 209:40, Jack, in the Flight Plan where it says, "Lift-off time update is not required." At 209:40, we'11 not do a lift-off time update.
LMP: 209:40. You're not going to do a lift-off time update, huh?
CC: That's affirmative. And I've got a pan camera pad while you're on that page. The pan camera pad which is opposite 209:15 - 209:15.
CC: Okay, T-start, 209:14:44; T-stop, 209:27:36, and that covers all of it. We can settle back to the Flight Plan, now.
LMP: Okay, we - I will do that.
CC: Okay, sir, and if you'11 give us ACCEPT, we've got a state vector at this time for you.
CC: Okay, and, Ron, you may be interested, we had a nominal extend on the mapper.
CMP: (Laughter) Hey, great. I guess once - once the door stays out of the way, it'11 come out all right, huh?
CC: Okay, Ron. Just for - first of all - the computer is yours, you can go back to BLOCK. Just for your inform-tion, at the beginning of the next rev, we're going to have a Flight Plan update. Or actually, we'11 have a pan camera pad at the beginning of the rev and then into the rev after the orbital science visuals, we'11 have a Flight Plan update. What we're going to be doing is - wa're going to bedoing an extra ultraviolet-sca_ program and we're going to do some antenna calibra- tion on the HF - lunar sounder antenna so we get quite a lengthy Flight Plan update and, after that, it'11 Just be flying the Flight Plan. The thing with the lunar sounder is that we're getting a lot of noise from Earth that we don't see on the back side of the Moon in the HF and we'd like to cali- brate this out.
LMP: Okay, you want to give us those updates now or are you going to - -
CC: Negative; we'11 wait until next rev, they're not number that extensive - we Just have a of them though. Just want you to be aware that they'11 be coming up. They will not interrupt your orbital- science visual targets there at Mare Smythii or at the landing-site visual.
LMP: - Jack, if you'd push on your EKG sensors a little bit - we're - the data isn't too good - the EKG sensors. And on your H 2 tank configuration, Ron, we'd like you to take H 2 TANK 3 FANS to OFF and H 2 TANK 2 FANS to ON.
CMP: Okay. TANK 3 is OFF. Number 2 is ON.
LMP: Okay, Bob. First - first break I have I'11 change - have to change those sensors. I - I needed to put that salve on and I guess - that's probably the same problem as on the way out.
CC: Roger. Don't change them, Jack. The
CMP: is due to come on before too long so Just press on them and see if we can improve the data a little bit but don't change them out. And you're looking great, and we'11 pick you up again at 209:23.
LMP: Maybe that ratty data is me.
CC: No, no, it's not that way. 139/1 Tape APOLLO 17 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CC: Okay, Ron, understand you're on OMNI D. You're coming up on 30 seconds away from PAN CAMERA T-stop another time, and I have pan camera pad I'd like to give you before we get into the orb science visuals.
CMP: Okay. Geno will get the pad .... 27 36 - 27 36, Jack.
CDR: Go ahead on the pad.
CC: Okay, the pan camera photo pad is at 209:30 - 209:45 are you read for that one?
CDR: Standby - PAN CAMERA to STANDBY. Okay, pan camera is STANDBY.
CC: Roger, we got it.
CC: Okay, the PAN CAMERA photo pad T-start time: 209:49:04, T-stop time: 209:51:01. Over.
CDR: Okay I've got T-start of 49:04 and T-stop 51:01.
CC: Roger, and we'11 hold off on the other pads until after your visuals, here.
CDR: I don't have much to do anyway, Bob. Why don't you go ahead.
CC: Rog, if you want, we're standing by to copy the visuals.
CDR: Okay. That's right ... Okay, we're coming across Mare Symthii. One of the - first things i'm con- centrating on is the - slope of the - we're out of comm, it looks like. Got some high gain angles?
CC: Ron, if you'11 do a standard REACQ for the HIGH GAIN pitch minus 10, yaw 25, we'd appreciate it.
CMP: How do you read, Bob.
CMP: Okay, Houston, how do you hear? Okay.
CC: We'd like REACQ on the HIGH GAIN urLtil we call AUTO, please.
CMP: Reacq in there. Okay.
CC: Ron, we're standing by.
CMP: Okay, Houston on the - the craters is to the north of the Wright Brothers. The slope of the walls is steep - probably 45 degrees on the inside - it's a gradual slope on the outside sllp- ping away from the crater. There is no apparent albedo differences in the ejecta or patterned an- we're nulus around the crater itself and looking specifically at the one to the northwest of the Wright Brothers, now. There is a definite mare flow that is unindated [sic], and it's a different color and, you know, that you have a light albedo to it now, it's kind of a grayish tan. It's a light grayish tan material that has flowed - and I can't tell - it almost looks like it's flowed down to the crater. There is an impact crater right in the breach of the crater - which has nothing to do with the flow itself. The material in the - I'm almost out of sight of it already. I was going to say the material in the inner crater in these boulder ring structures down there - the materi_L all the way in the center of it is comparable to the h-mmocky, bumpy looking type stuff that is not really the mare - not the smooth mare of Smythli - but the other part of the mare of Smythii.
CC: Are there any differences in the cra_ers, Ron?
CMP: Yes, some of the craters, though, you can't see the boulder-ring structures on it. And some of them that are definitely impact craters, you know, that have the ejecta rings around them. I've got to study them a little bit more. This is really the first chance I've had to look at smythii, on this pass, but I want to take a look at him a little bit more. Some of the boulder-ring basins there - the walls are not delta shaped at all. The one to the north and let's see, as you look to the Wright Brothers there's one directly north, and then the next one, and then the next one. The one directly north we'11 say is 12 o'clock; the other one is i o'clock; and then a 2 o'clock cra- ter. The 1-o'clock crater looks to me there is a high lava mark around the outer basin, the outer ring of the crater, itself. The one at 12 o'clock is the one I was talking about, has the breach on it with the later impact - the small impact crater on it. And without the binocs I couldn't tell flow direction, whether they were flowing into the boulder-ring basin from that mare patchon the outside or vice versa, so I'm going to try to check that out the next time around.
CC: Okay, Ron, we're standing by for any comments along your ground track here and we're following you. We would like to - when you get up on the landing site, we'd like you to concentrate on Stoney and
F: Cra -
F: Crater for those textural differences we noticed the other day.
CC: Yes, Shorty, I'm sorry. - -
CMP: The one out on the landslide.
CC: - - And we would like you to mark - Right. Will you mark - like you to mark the breach that you see on the photo, please. Or on the map.
CMP: Okay. That's - that's the breach on the - in Mare Smythii.
CC: And Ron, if you'11 ask Gene or Jack or somebody to get your PAN CAMERA to MONO now, please.
CMP: Okay, PAN CAMERA's going to MONO.
CMP: Okay, go-
CMP: Yes. I don't need any support, Just a place to stick them. I got the binoc's.
CC: And Ron, we're still standing by for any calls you might want to make en route to the landing site, there.
CMP: Well, again you can speak of test - or color dif- ferences on the thing. And the Sun angle now look- ing west - you get the same streaked - well, the verticle streaks that I talked about before that you see on the backside at the high Sun angle - higher Sun angles again. And that seems to show up more and more, I think, at the higher Sun angles. And these are the - what I call - radial - radial streaks down in the fresh craters that essentially start at the top of the crater rim and go down inside of them. If you take a look at these streaks, I don't - I don't see how they could be due strictly to the Sun angle on them, I think, because they're all the way around the crater.
CMP: Yes. On the - Well, I'm trying to find the name of it right now. It doesn't make any difference which one it is. It's in all of the - all the craters, all of the valleys, and everything. It looks like the Sculptured Hills around the landing site.
CC: Roger. We understand that, Ron.
CC: Coming up on Apollonius. That area now is that correct?
CC: Is there any significance or difference between the contact of Crisiumto the Highlands or at Picard in that - or at the area where you're flying over in the Mare Tran - Fertility and, the Highlands right there in between. Is there any difference between these two contact points?
CC: Roger, Roger. Do you see any radial Fra Mauro - like lineaments?
CMP: In that way, I think you can see ... the Sculptured Hills.
CC: - - Fra Mauro ...?
CMP: No, Bob. What I'm referring to is on the Highlands bordering Crisium, but in about all of them you do see a definite radial pattern upslope and downslope. From the center of Crisium, but none of the linea- ments like you're talking about like at Fra Mauro.
CMP: What kind of film we got? Oh, I got the wrong film in the mag. Right - Let's see, there's Yerkes, and then on the side of the slope, come Yerkes and then there's about a 50-kilometer crater, then there's a subdued crater, and right on the western rim of Crisium - in the western edge of that subdued crater, it's almost a 70-degree slope down there, and it's a square straight slope on the thing. _aere doesn't seem to be any eJecta piled up in the bottom of it at all, but within the slope - and it must be 50 - about - yes, 50 kilometers long, and there's a bright impact crater on the top of the hill, top of the rim, right below that bright cra- ter, you have the tannish brown streak that goes through the whole slide. The rest of the slope itself is the bright, light - real light, light tan, I call it. I'11 find the name of that crater on the map in a minute, but - -
CDR: I think the circumference of that crater right there ceases to be round - -
CDR: - - It just is squared off with a linear break about oh - at least 20 percent of the circumference of the entire crater.
CC: Now, are you talking about a crater on the Mare of Crisium or are you talking about up near Proculus
P: in that area ... Hills? CMl° Yes, it's right - no it's right on the mare. Okay. We got it. I think we got ... - -
CMP: A subdued crater right on the Mare of Crisium Just below Yerkes. Jack, where's the -
CMP: Oh, the film? ...
CMP: Window 3 is going to - The landing site is going to be out of window 3. Let!s see, about f - f/8 1/250. and
CC: Very shortly you should be coming up on the mare prior to the landing site across Tranquillitatis and then to the landing site. Is that affirm?
CMP: Oh, yes, that's affirm, we should, I got Proculus at the window number 3 now.
CC: I think if you use the binoculars on the landing site - - CMl° It has essentially the same -Ah, not yet.
CDR: Yes, this is Gene. I've got it on and the streaked albedo changed differences very definitely. One is the dark mantle on the floor. One is the South and North Massifs and the other is the Sculptured Hills. And the Sculptured Hills are at a light gray albedo between the Massif and the dark mantle. This line is very evident and there's a definite break in slope that you can see between the South Massif the, I won't call it the slide, but the white mantle is out on the valley floor. And from here, Shorty stands out like a sore thumb.
CC: Okay, we're interested in all three of you on that color texture difference up at Shorty and then we'd like to have a comparison of Shorty to F-crater if it is possible.
CMP: Okay, that crater is harder than a son of a buck to find. F-crater is right on Family Mountain, and there's one to the north of Family Mountain, a little ways there's a darker crater and then there's also one to the south of it. I can't find one on Family Mountain at all. I couldn't the other day so I'm going to see if I can find it today.
CDR: Bob, to me the Sculptured Hills incorporate the albedo, both of the North Massif, or the massif and the mantle area and combine them to give you a generally in-between gray albedo, but the sculp- turing is produced by the darker albedo that looks like the mantle, and the lighter albedo that looks like the massif.
F: crater is just to the south of Family Mountain. It's the one that you mentioned south of Family Mountain.
CMP: Ohhh, okay. That's the one I saw the other day. It looks about like Shorty.
CC: Is there a cone associated with that crater?
CDR: From here Bob, they're both very dark -
CC: Is there a color associated with that crater?
CMP: Have to check that Just a second.
CC: Okay, and we're about 30 seconds from the T-start time on the pan camera, please.
CMP: Can't see that far. Stand by.
CMP: There is a definite bright spot up on the side of the hill - It's almost an extension of that slide area from Shorty.
CC: Okay, you guys, we're about 10 - -
CC: - - 10 seconds from T-start time on the pan camera. CMl° Okay_ Jack's getting the T-start. Okay I still get a -
CMP: Okay. On Shorty, I still have the - that light orangish-tan-type material - it's essentially perpendicularto the line of the slide area there in the northern s_micircle of the thing. I see F-crater. Boy, I can't hold these crazy glasses still enough.
CC: Okay, let me read you some questions about F-crater, if you will. If you'11 direct your attention to F-crater. We'd like to know the shape of the crater profile, the rim crest, and probable or possible 139/9 Tape breaching, the smoothness and distribution of rim deposits, and the superposition-relationship with Family Mountain or Family Hill.
CMP: Okay. Get all of those. It is a - by golly, there is a raised rim to it. It's light color down inside the crater, though. And I can't hold the glasses close enough to see if it's breached or not.
CDR: _]_e outside is rimmed with a - It's as if the rim itself, was just dark, very dark. There's some white to the south about a crater diameter, sort of a - small distribution radially to the south, and then there is a - sort of a, what I would call, a free-patterned dark-like ray about 2 crater diameters, maybe 3 crater diameters, to the south just slightly to the west of this light area I was talking about, but to the south, another defi- nite one to the west and another definite one to the north, but none to the east.
CC: You just past pan camera T-stop time, guys. Jack, PAN CAMERA to STANDBY, please. Go on Gene, sorry to interrupt.
CMP: He's got it.
CC: Go ahead, go ahead with your description. We're listening.
CMP: I'm going to draw a picture, here, while I'm thinking of it.
CC: Okay, good show. Okay, guys, that completed the orbital science visual pass. Any other comments you'd want to make about the landing site.
CDR: Yes. It's an interesting place.
CC: No, not that. From a geological standpoint from orbit.
CDR: Yes. And I've got - well, my white spot, there, is ... the same spot. There are two white spots I'm talking about, now. The one I'm talking about primarily is the one I saw right after landing, on the thing was a lighter - lighter grayish area that was evidently blown up from the LM landing. And that's still in the same spot. You can still see that all right.
CC: We'd like PAN CAMERA POWER to OFF, now.
CC: Okay, Ron, anytime you're ready now, I've got a - that whole series of Flight Plan updates and I've got a few words of explanation with each one; so, maybe you might want to take these.
CC: Okay, HIGH GAIN to AUTO.
CC: I got one more question. How large is the bright zone you were talking about, Ron?
CMP: Right between Sherlock and Camelot there are two small craters there and I'11 have te get my map out to look for the name of them for sure.
CMP: They should have been behind the LM - right behind the LM. And the bright spot is about the same size as those.
CC: Okay. - - CMl° And it makes I would say an equilateral triangle with those two craters.
CC: Okay, fine. I would recommend one of you go on to the "configured camera" while we start the Flight Plan update. We'd like to get the Flight Plan update all read prior to that P52 that you've got to do there, and somebody will be ta_ing those terminator photos. 139/11 Tape
CMP: Okay, soon as Gene - Gene's drawing in the flight plan, there. That crater - Okay, ready for a Flight Plan update.
CC: Okay. Who's going to take the terminator photos. You want me to give you call about 2 minutes before the photo time?
CMP: Yes. Jack will.
CC: Okay, well, here's the Flight Plan update, then. At 210:30 - 210:30, add the following - -

CMP: Bob, while I'm standing by there, oh, that's all right. Must be my other map.
CC: Okay, Ron. We're ready with some more if you are.
CMP: Okay, go. 139/13 Tape
CC: Okay, at 211:02. Add the following at 211:02: UV cover CLOSED, and, in parentheses, put 211:02:09. Configure DSE - -

CMP: Okay. UV cover CLOSED at 211:02:09. Configure the DSE STOP/COMMAND RESET. Whip her into POO and manually roll left to 039 by 211 plus 05.
CC: Roger. And just the prediction from the simulator, you might want to use ACCEL command for a rate of about i degree per second to accomplish that. And that - The purpose of that is to get the Sun out of the mapping camera.
CMP: Okay. Can do, ACCEL command to 1 degree per second.
CC: Okay, at 211:08.
CMP: Just a second, ...
CMP: Hey, Jack on here it shows the little circles on the map, which part should be taken for each, rev 2 or whatever it is.
CC: We're in rev 62.
CMP: Except for some reason, on my map D it doesn't have - Yes - on map Delta. I must have got the backup map or something, I didn't have any of the photo - the camera settings on it. (Laughter) Terminator photos -
CC: Ron, we can break from this now, we're pretty well ahead, and we can come back to it, if you want to do the photos.
CC: Roger, I've got them, and I can read them - i'11 read them to you right off the mop [sic] - map. CMl° Okay.
CC: Okay, if you're looking right at the map - -
CMP: Okay, I see them.

CMP: Oh, I've got the circle on it. cc - - 1/500. f/32, 1/500.
CMP: Yes. Okay, start with that one, Jack. f/11.
CC: Got the circle around Mount La Hire? It's f/11,
CMP: 250-millimeter lens - okay.
CC: At the next circle up, which crosses - which en- compasses the La of La Hire Rilles, you want f/8 at 1/250.
CC: And the one that crosses - the circle that covers f/5.6 across the terminator there at Diophantus is 1/125, 1/125. at Get the wrong - - CMl° Okay, we got them all, Bob. Thank you.
CC: Okay, just a question for some other period. Will we have to update your map for P66 and P74 revs?
CMP: Yes. I don't have anything on this map.
CC: Okay, we'11 schedule that in prior to those revs, Ron.
CMP: Okay, we're coming up on Timocharis, now. Start at Lambert and get the - right along the La Hire Rille, see - Yes. Take six - six - six shots you know, kind of each area at that- You know, north and south. Yes, you know point them every which way, or whatever's interesting on the thing. Okay.
CMP: Okay. Mount La Hire, you can get in there at f/11 at 1/500.
CC: Hey, Ron. Just - Just a point. -
CDR: There's Euler coming up there. Okay, go ahead, Bob.
CC: Do you have two copies of the maps on board? And if so, did the - would the other copy of "D" have the updates on it? Or have the settings?
CMP: (Laughter) Yes, that'11 be a good one. I'11 tell you, it goes a lot easier when you're by yourself. mean
CMP: Okay, yes, we're on mag 55. I frame 55 and mag Romeo Romeo.
CMP: Yes, we didn't get some of the ones up around La Hire. We'11 get those next time around.
CC: How's the pictures going, Ron?
CMP: Okay, we got - The pictures are over. And that's Lunar Orbit Chart Delta. It doesn't have anything on it, you know - -
CMP: - - It's the circles on it, but it doesn't have any of the - -
CC: We'11 - We'11 schedule it up - all the fli - all the updates on that. After you go LOS we'11 figure out some convenient time to read them up to you on there, Ron. I've got a - I've got the Flight Plan - - CMl° Okay, and we're ready to continue the Flight Plan.
CC: Okay. 211:08, 211:08.
CMP: Okay. We're all set.
CC: Ron, just one comment before we start the Flight Plan. You've got a 52 coming up and we want to make sure that gets done prior to the VERB 49 maneuver at 210:30. And there is no slack on that VERB 49 maneuver at 210:30. So you'11 have to get on to the 52 at about 20, but we should have enough time to get the rest of theseupdates up.
CC: Okay, Ron, at 211:08 delete the lines: Mapping camera - OFF, wait 30 seconds, mapping camera - STANDBY, image motion - OFF, and laser altimeter - OFF. Delete those lines.
CC: Okay, at 211:11, change the RECEIVE ONLY ATTITUDE to the following: roll, 039, pitch 159, yaw 300. CMl° Okay at 211:11, VERB 49 will be to 039, 159, and 300.
CC: The P20 maneuver is as follows: at 211:26, P20 opt ion - -
CC: - - P20 option 2, HF scan, NOUN 78, plus 270.00, minus 039.30; NOUN 79, minus 0.3000, plus 000.50; NOUN 34 is all zeros. CMl° Hold it there, Bob.
CC: Okay, Roger.
CMP: Let me get - I got your NOUN, - I got fouled up in the NOUN 78s. Option, I'm going to need two of those, so it's NOUN 78 is plus 270.00 and a minus 039.30. Okay, your NOUN 79's now are - are say again.
CC: Minus 0.3000. And now for other NOUN 39 - -
CMP: Okay, 0.3 of a degree per second.
CC: Rog, and 0.5, 0.5 - half a degree dead band. CMl° Okay.
CC: And, NOUN 34s are all zeros.
CMP: Okay, so you're going to PRO at 211:26 then, right.
CC: Okay, Ron, this next one - actually we're calling it 212:20, but the simulator came out at 212:18:40, Just for information. And it's the following: Stop scan at roll 039.
CMP: Okay. Stop scan at roll 039.
CC: Rog. VERB 49 maneuver to lunar sounder RECEIVE ONLY attitude. Roll 142, pitch 286, yaw zero.
CMP: Okay. VERB 49, lunar sounder RECEIVE ONLY, roll 142, pitch 286, yaw zero.
CC: Okay, and then the last one is 213:03. Configure the DSE high bit rate RECORD/FORWARD/COMMAND RESET.
CMP: Okay. At 213 - was that 03?
CC: 03, that's affirm.
CMP: Configure DSE high bit rate RECORD/FORWARD/COMMAND. Okay.
CC: Okay - CNP For the high bit rate, RECORD/FORWARD/COMMAND RESET.
CC: Ron, we'11 be - No more Flight Plan updates we promise today and we'11 be working - -
CC: - - map Delta and getting that updated to you, but everybody here thinks there's two maps on board and I think you're right. I think there's only one, isn't there.
CC: FAO thinks there are two - -
CMP: - - Oh, wait a minute. Jack said they put an extra one - Okay, well, there were two. Jack just said he had one put on for him.
CMP: I must have picked his up or something.
CMP: Mine must be in there then, somewhere. We'11 look for it. 139/19 Tape
CC: Okay, if you'11 check that and tell us if we need to update you. We'11 still plan to update, but if you've got it, fine.
CC: And it looks like you ought to be getting in your P52 when you get a chance here. CMl° Yes, I'11 get her down here. (Humming) Can't tell about these geologists. They put on extra maps in your spacecraft and things like that, you know. Yes, I get - I gaveyou the last frame number on that Romeo Romeo, but I think I forgot to tell you the one after the - the other one. Oh, by the way, on the other one, Agassiz was com- pletely in the darkness and there was no crater rim at all to shine down on Agassiz so we didn't get him at all.
CC: We copy that. CMl° Oh, are we in P207 Go to FREE. We use to be in 20 - P20 - We'11 get back into P20. Not much, but that's all right. CMl° They go right along here. I have them right along here and shove them down over there is what they used to do with them. They haven't called. Get into AUTO now, CMC AUTO.
CMP: Okay, are we at - that's going and everything. Okay, go CMC FREE now. Okay. That's my fault, Gene, I should have gotten it. (Laughter) That's right - number 12 Rigel. Hey, I can find Rigel I bet you. There she comes. There's Orion. Man, oh man, I've done P52 only, and it's wizhin the - within a half of a crosshair width. Come on, Alphard. Ah, haI There's Alphard - for rev 62. Come on in there, baby. Well, up to my usual tricks (laughter). Ah, 12 and 21 - stars 12 and 21. Star angle difference, 5 balls.
CC: Roger. We copied them down.
CMP: Okay, and we'11 torque them at 22:45.
CMP: Okay, Just a second, Gene, let me look at it. See resolve - Power is OFF. Do the old optics? Yes. I think - (Laughter) Outstanding idea - having a great drink. (Laughter) Okay, 24. Done that. Doesn't matter. Okay.
CC: Say - say again.
CMP: Okay. Hey, Bob, how many frames of mag RR do we have to diddle with? Kind of our own, or are there any?
CC: That's in work right now.
CMP: Okay. Aha, here's another chart D.
CC: I do owe you a consumables status yet, and - -
CMP: Who knows - It's got all stuff in it. Hey, do we - we have a good chart Delta.
CC: Okay. Good. Great. I owe you a consumables status, and when you woke up, you were right on the Flight Plan line, and you had 53 percent re- maining of RCS. And, all other consumables are on the line or above.
LMP: Hey, Bob. Sorry we didn't let you get that in. We're not moving too fast for you, are we? (Laughter)
CC: Ron, you have zero spares on RR. No - no film available for yourself on RR. 139/21 Tape
CMP: Oh, okay. We'11 - -
LMP: Hey - hey, Bob, this is Jack. If you could pos- sibly swing it, I would strongly recommend that we let Ron redo that last terminator sequence if we can work it in the Flight Plan, because Gene and I may or may not have done what you wanted there, and I know we missed the first couple of them.
CMP: I'11 - I'11 use the 35-millimeter. I still got about 8 or 10 frames on the 35 - -
CC: Okay, we'11 take that word under advisement, and we'11 evaluate it. CMl° (Laught er )
LMP: Thank you. We may have to send you to the U.N. with that diplomacy.
CC: Thanks a lot for your confidence, Geno [sic].
CDR: Glad to hear your voice down there, boss - Admiral.
CC: Okay, we sug - suggest you start that VERB 49 maneuver at 210:30, or you'11 be behind the eight- ball there on time.
CC: America, Houston. You're looking real good here coming up to LOS, and we'11 see you at 211:22. You're looking good.
CMP: Okay. Will do. APOLLO 17 AIR-TO-GROD_D VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CC: Hey, America; Houston here. Hi, Gordo. Good morning.
CC: It's afternoon - right, afternoon. CMl° Well, we want to PRO on that at 26. - 20 roll about OMNI Bravo.
CDR: Oh, that's ...
CMP: Yes, that's Earth study ... lunar sounder and the middle gimbal - -
CMP: - - plus or minus 65.
CMP: Yes. How's the weather been there today, Gordo? (Music in background)
CC: America, Houston. I missed your last, if that was for me.
CMP: Yes. Just checking to see how the weather was doing there in Houston before you came into work.
CC: Oh, it's kind of - bunch of high clouds - cirrus, i guess, - but it's down around 35, I'd say, and and pretty windy. So it's nippy when you're outside.
CMP: And, Houston, how's my biomed looking?
CC: About 10 seconds to your PRO.
CC: America, we'd like the IR COVER, CLOSED - -
CMP: Oh, and away we go.
CC: - - and I think there might be a chance the Sun will get in it there.
CDR: Okay, Gordy. And we're rolling .... - -
CMP: Barber pole, gray.
CC: Ron, your EKG looks good. The Surgeon wondered how the irritation that you had mentioned, because of the sensors, is - is it getting any better?
CDR: And, Gordo, for information, that's not unique; we're all having that, and taking them off is the best relief for it.
CC: Okay. 140/3 Tape America,
CC: I've got some words about what you might use for optional cur [?] optional photographs. Over.
CMP: Okay, yes, let's write it down there in the - why don't you write it on the back page, or something like that, so we'11 know where it is.
CMP: Okay. (Music in background) Ready to copy.
CC: Okay. Magazine RR has no spare frames. So if you want to take any photos, we are suggesting using and the DAC and the 75-mm lens using JJ which is very high-speed black and white. Ninety-eight percent of JJ is unscheduled. Here are some set- tings you might use for terminator photographs over mare. Use T2.8, 1/500, and infinity. For termin- ator over highlands, use T4, 1/500, and infinity. And for Tsiolkovsky on rev 7_ that's GET of 232:58; that's sometime in the future here - we're sug- gesting using T5.6, 1/500, and infinity. Over.
CC: Okay, the highlands terminator would be T4. I guess that's the far-side terminator, and the near- side terminator is over mare. That's the mare set- ting. L_ Okay. iF2°
CC: America, Houston. I'm sorry. Say again, please. Lv2° Just wondering, Gordo, if today is Friday.
CC: That's affirmative. It's Friday. Okay, thank you.
CC: Jack, Houston. We see no need for you to wear any of your biomed sensors; if you'd rather take them off, give your skin a rest, feel free.
CC: You're loud and clear, Jack.
LMP: While we're in a relatively quiet period, we're going to make a few comments about some of the things that cross the two big basins that we're getting very familiar with - or, actually, three: Smythii, Ori - Smythii, Crisium, and Serenitatis - and the degradation of the balls of the major ring and the lack of any obvious blanket structures, I think, in contrast to Imbrium and Orientale, which we've also had a pretty good look at - Orientale and Earthshine, on the earlier revs - is quite striking - that contrast is quite striking - to me, at any rate. Also_ within Orientale s the - at least at the southeast - on the east-south- east portions of the mare floor, the wrinkle- ridge system is not nearly as well developed; but there is a wrinkle-ridge system that roughly forms an inner floor ring, at any rate.
LMP: The fronts of the major ring in Crisium are strik- ingly different than those of the Apennines just in their general slopes; sharpness of topographical features; and in any appearance of having even a hint of boulder fields on their slopes like we observed, say, on the South Massif, anything like that. At least Serenitatis massifs seem to locally show fairly major boulder fields on their flariks. And I haven't seen any around Crisium yet. Maybe Ron's already talked to you about that, but i haven't seen any.
LMP: Yes. The craters now. I'm speaking of the, Ron, of the front faces themselves, the rim - the face of the ring itself.
CMP: Oh, I see. The face of the ring itself - okay; that's what you're talking about.
LMP: Yes, yes. No it - a crater - a fresh crater in the mare or a fresh crater in the blanket area - rim area - will have boulders, Gordy; don't mis- understand me. But the front faces - the ring front face does not have boulders - that I can And see. I think boulders are pretty obvious when they're there. We've seen them well defined and on the central peaks of Tsiolkovsky, I think any time you have a major boulder popu - field, you can see it with the monocular - with the 10-power monocular.
LMP: I've noticed - now I'm getting a good view of where in Fecunditatis there is a tannish - or let's call it more of a brownish-gray mare in contrast to bluish-gray mare in Fecunditatis it- self.
LMP: And in the walls of some - of a large crater - I'11 try to figure out which one it is in a minute. It's near the large crater that the Sculptured Hills define you can see in the east wall - or maybe northeast wall of that crater - an area of bluish-gray - material that is streaking the normal tan-gray of that crater wall.
CC: This is a kind of one-sided discussion. I wish i was there so I could take a more active part.
CC: Roger. LM_ The light blue-gray annulus is also the locus of most of the circumferential grabens, that Seren- itatis is noted for, is in that area. And that's nothing new. But, in one place, there's a very subdued, flooded crater which seems to control a - a - arcuate projection - or, let's say, a circular projection - of the light blue-gray out over the tan-gray mare. Most of the major wrinkle-ridge system of Serenitatis, of course, is outside the annulus of blue-gray, except locally, and one of those places was in the - to the west of the Taurus- Littrow site. Although that wrinkle-ridge system does - I can see now, as we look south of Seren - in the southern portions of Serenitatis that wrinkle-ridge system does cross the contact between the blue-gray and the tan-gray. That's the light blue-gray and the tan-gray.
CC: Okay. LM/°
LMP: Yes. Ron says that he - that he already commented on those, and they're - and they look very obvious to me. No, I - I don't - no. I don't think you can with those windows. We'11 get a good view of them again in one of the other attitudes.
LMP: It's a light orange, obvi'ously, not a - that it but it's in contrast to the brown-gray of the dark mantle in the vicinity of Sulpicius Gallus. There's a good one right down there. Now, that one looks like a constructional cone that's orangish. And that's right out on a raised projection of the - of the brown-gray dark mantle out onto the - out onto the light blue-gray annulus material.
LMP: Tell Dave Scott that the north con, lex looks just as interesting as it ever did: It's going to re- main with Emory crater as one of the unknowns of the space program for a while, I guess.
CDR: Hey, Gordo, I've been looking at the landing site off and on the last few revs, and I'd like to get - now that we've been there and back - your best guess of the exact position of what you think we landed_ because I think I've got it pinpointed pretty much so from here.
CC: Okay. Stand by 1. iv_ _,is is one of the first opportuni-_ies that Z've had to look closely at Archimedes, which is one of those craters that, in the early days of the lunar 140/9 Tape mapping program, helped establish some of the funda- mental age relationships between the various units that were visible in the Earth-based photography. In this particular case, it related to the sequence of events that created Imbrium, cratered it, and then flooded it with mare. And Archimedes is a completely circular - closed circle as a crater, and it is filled with mare. And it, in itself, is superimposed on the - one of the main benches of the Imbrium crater. Now, to have mare filling that crater and actually filling all the depressions of approximately the same level in the vicinity of a mare - of a large mare region, it's one of the things that's suggested to many people that rather than single sources for mare lavas, you have a multitude of sources in a very fractured lunar crust. The ultimate source in depth, though, is still certainly a subject for controversy.
CC: Roger. CMl° And, Houston; America. Frame 150 - 151 and 152 were taken of the Sulpicius Gallus region with a 250 lens. 154 was taken at D-Caldera, and that's magazine Oscar Oscar.
