CMP: Okay, Bob. Thank you. Oh. (Laughter) Here.
CC: And, Ron, we - we're copying you on VOX, we believe. Is that affirm?
CMP: You're not supposed to copy the other guys, though. Are you copying the other guys?
CC: No, just you, Ron.
CDR: I may have been t_lking loud.
CC: Okay, Ron. You should be at T-horizon.
CMP: Okay, that's pointing at the horizon all right. I don't see the crater, yet.
CMP: Okay, I can see the rims of Microbus [sic] A and B.
CMP: Okay, I really don't see it yet. I can see Microbus A and B, real well.
CMP: Okay, I'm going to pick out one and start marking on it.
CMP: l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. That's the wrong one. Okay, now I see what I'm supposed to mark on; okay.
CMP: 1, 2, B, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, *** 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and it's gone.
CMP: Okay? And, lets - now I'm going to take a look and see if it looks like a cinder cone. Hey! There's Maraldi Gamma, the mound sticking up there right beside Maraldi. Hey, you guys are going to have some good hills to run down in there. Can you see it all - at all, coming up?
CMP: ... north. That crazy radar is going to be in the way - the I24 (laughter). Okay, it's going through the landing site, now. The shadow is Just up to - You can really see the scarp on there.
LMP: See what they mean by Sculptured Hills, Gene? See the knobby characteristics in that - -
CDR: Yes. That'11 be ...
LMP: - - area down there. That's part of the Sculpured Hills.
CDR: That's a massif there, too.
LMP: Now, we're Just over the rim of Serenitatis, looking over the Graben Plains - -
CMP: Yes, I can Just see. I'm going to switch to 17-1. 3, 4, 5, 6 - just got six of them on 17-1 and then the other three were were on
F: -
F: Crater; 17-1 was Just barely in the - Sherlock was just barely beyond the shadow.
LMP: This is all supposedly covered with the dark mantle, Gene, what you're seeing down there.
CDR: Yes, the Sun angles are so that you can't tell the difference in albedo.
LMP: And look at those mare ridges, though.
CDR: I tell you, that's looking out into the gray - gray desert down in there.
LMP: That's the old Littrow site.
CDR: I think so. I think we're Just about ready to climb.
LMP: I think the terminator is giving you the feeling of that, maybe. Ain't nothing out there.
CC: Jack, Houston. Can you see any albedo difference in the landing site area between the dark massif and the light area?
LMP: We can't see any difference between - in the low areas, between the dark mantle and other materials right now. We're right at the terminator.
CMP: Jerry, you could really see a difference between the - the South Massif and the - the m_ntle mate- rial around through there. The mantle is not nearly as dark as it looks on the pictures, though. But the massif, South Massif, especially, looked Almost a whitish color. I guess it's because the, partly the Sun was shining on it. But then - -
CDR: Could you see anything that looks like the slide?
CMP: Oh, yes. You can see the slide on the thing and definitely see the scarp going across through there. I was primarily concentrating on looking for the various craters so I didn't spend that much time, you know, concentrating on how the thing looked. But in the marks on the thing, the first about four or five marks were on
F: Crater and then I saw Sherlock about halfway through it and I got about five marks on the Sherlock for 17-1.
LMP: Gene.
LMP: And, also, on that lineation question, not only, where the Sun grazes a - a slope do you see the horizontal lineations, but they're at the southern end of the shadowed area on a slope. You get a couple other lineations showing up at least in a couple places I saw. One would be parallel to the slope - that is cross-contour, and the other was at a - an angle to that direction - oh - say of about 30 degrees.
CC: Roger, Jack. We're copying you loud and clear and no problems with comm at all.
F: Crater and 17-1 through the sextant.
CC: Roger. Just want to confirm, Ron. You started on J-3 and then you went to
F: Crater and -
CMP: Yes. I went to
F: Crater and then back to Sherlock or 17-1.
CMP: Actually, on J-3, I took four marks on a crater that was to the west of J-3 and then I finally saw J-3 and started marking on it.
LMP: Okay, Houston. Mag Oscar Oscar is 85.
CC: Roger, Jack. Thank you.
LMP: And, then - okay; and there's a number of pictures - Now, Just a minute, let me try to give you a general feeling for where they were taken. Stand by 1.
LMP: Okay; a number of the last pictures that were taken on that series, or that rev, were taken between - say about ll5 east, and - oh, about 100 east and they show several examples of the light-colored or swirl - -
CMP: Coming up now.
LMP: - - alterations to the surface. And that's in highland country where that is a distinct gray against the tan-gray or tan highland background - general highland color.
CC: Okay, Jack. I got that. CYA° And, all my pictures (laughter).
CC: Ron, Houston. We'd like you to move up and do the waste water dump starting now and the 02 fuel cell purge. I_MP Okay, we'11 get to that and mag Quebec Quebec is on frame 50.
CC: That's affirm, Ron. We'd like to get a third dump now, so we have it dumped prior to the camera pass.
CC: We want to get a dump prior to the UV work there, Ron.
CMP: Okay, that's right - I'm sorry, I forgot about that.
CMP: ... how ... going to go, with BATTERY VENT to - Okay, BATTERY VENTED, BATTERY VENT is CLOSED and going to DUMP A.
LMP: PAN CAMERA POWER going OFF.
CC: Stand by on that, Gene ....
CC: America, no objection to going to V49 maneuver any time. Just do not open the UV door until the 94:45 Flight Plan time.
CC: Okay, Gordo's off. I'11 have to wait a minute here, Gene.
CDR: For a Sunday night, you're - you're hard to get along with.
CC: Oh, come on.
LMP: Wise Marines - wise Marines end up in Antarctica.
CC: Roger. Can't do that. They don't have any gates down there.
CDR: That sounds like a Job you could probably handle.
LMP: Listen, after that answer, I'11 build one down there for you.
CC: Thank you, sir. Hey, you can go to LM/CM DELTA-P.
CDR: Okay, thank you. (Laughter)
LMP: I beat you.
CC: We're talking through Goldst - Ooldstone, Gene.
CDR: Okay, looks like about a tossup from here. I'11 tell you, there is really one heck of a big low-pressure area developing somewhere off the coast of California, Washington, or Canada, out in the Pacific Northwest part of the country.
CDR: We were watching it earlier today, but I tell you, now, it's really dragged in some other clouds with it. It must cover an enormous dis- tance and it's got some real spectacular circulation.
CC: Just for curiosity, are you using a monocular on that?
CDR: No, I'm using a binocular.
CDR: Bob, it's - it's got a trailing front. I can't really see the States, or even the North American continent, because - -
CC: Stand by, Jack - or Gene. We'd like for you to terminate - -
CDR: - - pretty well covered - -
CC: - - waste water dump.
CC: Sorry about that. Go ahead.
LMP: I'm not sure the attitude is too good for that. I wish I'd thought of it this round.
CC: Roger. Well, we were pretty busy coming up on it this time. I think the - that's why we men- tioned the attitude may be okay during the eat period. We don't want you to break away from your eat period unless you see you can spare the time.
CC: Okay, I copy on that, Jack, and as long as we're talking about Grimaldi, you might Just rem - we'd like to have you brief Ron exactly on the location of that flash you saw. We'11 probably ask him to take a picture of it, maybe during one of his solo periods.
CDR: Hey, Bob, before we get awfully involved, just let me tell you what our motive is here in the next couple of hours. That's to eat and get done what's in the Flight Plan, and come our rest period, we're probably going to turn out the lights and make sure everything's done by then so we can start it on time tonight.
CC: Yes, that's a definite - we concur with that definitely, Gene. Don't want you to work into your sleep period.
CC: Gene, last night you didn't use a tone booster, and the work you gave us was that it had - it wasn't working, and we're Just wondering if you want - we're thinking about working up a test board to see if - did you test it out thoroughly to make sure it wasn't working, or was that Just your desire not to use it?
CDR: We tried it, Bob, and it did not work. The only reason I'm reluctant on a test is I Just don't want it to take much time.
CC: I don't think it would take much time. The only thing I could say is it would - you know - two obvious things I'm sure you checked them, Gene, would be the utility power and make sure you had the right lamp tests on when you tried it, and that's the only - I'm sure you did it, and that's the only obvious thing - maybe a circuit breaker or something like that.
CDR: Well, we checked it both on the left side and on the right side with two separate UTILITY POWERs and verified that the MASTER ALARMs came on with the test on both sides, and nothing ever happened.
CC: Roger. I was sure of that, Gene. Just wanted to make it - put everybody at ease that it's Just not working. That was essentially the test. Just forget anything we said about tests.
LMP: What test?
CC: Roger. Got you guys trained up there, finally.
CC: Roger. Go ahead, Ron.
CMP: If I don't find my scissors here one of these days, I think it takes about four bolts on either side of the - you know the optics, where they stow the optics? It looks like there are four little tool E bolts that'11 come out. And I think maybe they might be back behind there, I don't know. See, there's a great big slot up at the top of that - oh, it's at least an inch - inch between the top of the optics thing and the top of the spacecraft. I looked back in there with a flashlight and can't see anything, but it's a big hole back there anyhow.
LMP: I think the con,nander might have something to say.
CDR: Hey, Bob, just ignore everything he said. We'11 leave him a pair of our scissors, and he's Just worried about being hungry.
CC: Roger. Those are your EVA scissors, too, aren't they?
CDR: But, he is not - Yes, but we can handle - we can handle it with one down there. He is not taking the spacecraft apart to find his scissors, and I will not let him go hungry.
CMP: Okay, either way.
CC: 9 to 3. Steelers over the Oilers. 62/13 Tape
LMP: 9 to 3?
LMP: 9? 09 to 037
CC: That's affirmative. Played one of their better games, I guess. L_P How about the Chicago Bears? You got their score handy?
CC: Hey, Jack, how about if we pick you up during the eat period. While you're eating, we'11 brief you of the whole NFL situation for today. Okay?
LMP: Well, we are eating. I guess we wait until we come around neXt time. Okay. CO Oh - I - the Bears were - - L_P . . .
CC: - - the last we heard, the Bears were losing. Bob, we'11 wait and you can get up the late evening news prepared for us here the next time around.
CC: Okay. Have your gourmet dinner and I'11 give you the news.
CDR: Thank you, Robert. We'11 see you coming around the horn.
CDR: Hey, Bob, if you could, it might be appreciated with a word or two from our home fronts.
CC: Yes. You didn't let me do it. I was going to give them all a call while on this LOS here, Gene.
CDR: It's that thing again. I bet you were concen- trating on the dot.
CDR: Thank you. We're going to watch your signal get cut off here.
CC: Roger. Was touch and go on that because at one time they're losing that game.

LMP: Well, strangely enough, the LM Data Card Book's in the LM.
CC: Yes, I figured as mUCh.
LMP: We'11 put it in our Activation Book. Let me find the right page.
CC: Okay. I_P Let me find the right page.
CC: Okay. LM DAP information: LMweight, 36714; CSM weight, 38078.
LMP: Okay. The DAP load is LMweight, 36714; CSM weight, 38078.
CC: Roger, Jack. And I'd like to correct one call on my - the TEI pads. There is one other difference between the TEI-19 and the TEI-12 on their notes. And the TEI-19 assumes a circ burn. Over. assume
LMP: Okay. That's corrected to circ on the TEI-19.
CC: Roger, Jack. I'm sorry on that. I've got some - some notes from the Flight Surgeon - -
LMP: That's all right, Bob.
CC: Got some notes for Gene from the Flight Surgeon. an He promised update to you on some meal recom- mendations here on food - if you - you might want to copy this into the supplement.
CDR: Okay. Just standby l, please.
CC: Okay. Just whenever you want it, there's no hurry on this at all. Jack, you Just might put a little note there somewhere for yourself - Copernicus at 96:03 - if you want to look at it.
LMP: Okay; 96.03.
CMP: There's high-water marks all over the place there.
LMP: - - on the north part of Tranquillitatis in here - mare onto the highlands.
CMP: Yes, there's high-water marks all over that - that - I think that's Maraldi there, isn't it? Are you sure we're at 13 miles up?
CC: You're at lh.1, to be exact, Ron.
CMP: (Laughter) Looks pretty low.
CDR: Gee, I wonder what it feels like to be at 8 to 10.
CC: You're going to find out, I think.
CC: Roger. Does it look like that one we saw on the track the other day? I_4P Yes, very much like that one that you almost caught. Look at that. There's a tongue depress - several of them - grabens in here. We must be out on the edge of Serenitatis now, right?
CC: Yes, we show you on the edge of Serenitatis, Jack.
LMP: Roger. I Just - we didn't get a view of the site, though, going over this time. I think it was off to the north of us Just a tad. That's the best example of a mare - marelike ridge that was as clearly constructional as I would want to see it. Out on the mare, it's never quite that obvious. But there, it climbed up over a hill and then back down again.
LMP: And that was Just east of the - an area Just east of the edge of Serenitatis and probably a little bit south of the landing site.
CDR: Say, Bob, rather than copy specific recommended changes or deletions to a diet, can you have a general comment that's any different than what I already understand?
CC: Right. It's no problem.
CDR: If not, I would rather delay it.
CC: It's no problem, Gene. Two quick comments: the next couple of days, delete the peach ambrosia and the mixed fruit bar, and don't delete anything from the LMmenu. And make sure you get all the water in for rehydration, and take - bias it if you think you get 30 percent gas, then put in 30 percent more so you get all the water that is required. And take two antigas tablets after each meal instead of one. That sums it up.
CDR: Okay - Okay. Very good. I'11 - I'11 handle all those words according to their needs.
CDR: Appreciate them, though.
CC: Ron, we need to get looking at the pan camera here, per the Flight Plan.
LMP: Okay, Bob. POWER on the PAN CAMERA now.
LMP: Okay. And has my biomed been looking all right?
CC: That's affirmative. L_ Okay.
CC: America, you can turn the PAN CAMERA, OFF. PAN OFF. Okay. CAMERA going
CDR: ... the up-link.
CC: I believe so, from my charts here, but let me doublecheck that. That is affirmative. Tommy Just gave me the up on that one.
CC: If you guys got time to listen, I can update you on the homefront while you're wor - looking out the windows.
CC: Let's see. For the CDR, they're eating beans and cornbread over at Nassau Bay tonight. Probably a good thing they're eating beans there, Gene, because you're feeding 25 tonight. And the horse is getting fed, also.
CDR: Beans and cornbread? It's a good thing I'm eating up here.
CC: You better believe it. And, of course, everybody sends their love. And over in E1 Lago, they're, well - Go ahead, Gene.
CDR: I was Just going to ask you to return mine for me, would you?
CC: oh, you better believe it. They're listening to the squawk box. You don't have to say anything to me. And over in E1 Lago, Jamie's saying - is saying her prayers ending them with, "God bless America and Challenger from now on." And John is saying, "There's Daddy's rocket - makes it go pitch, light out." And of course, everybody sends their love - -
CMP: They're great.
CC: And they're all listening right now if you'd - -
CMP: Tell John, though, that I shaved the other night.
CC: Roger. He'11 be listening, hearing that. They're all over at the - in Nassau Bay at a big meeting of the Flight Plan. The Parkers are briefing the Cernans and the Evans on the Flight Plan tonight. And out in Tucson, for the LMP, it's kind of cloudy and cold out there today. It's colder than normal. Everything's working fine on the speaker out there, Jack, and they're just listening, and Mother - your Mother is really tickled and Just pleased as all get out.
C: Okay. LM_ But it's a fantastic sight at this altitude. It is a big crater. It looks like it's about 80 kilometers in diameter.
CC: I'11 drink to that.
CC: Okay. IMP That one looked like it had a crater in it. tIow- ever, they all tend to be elongate radially, with respect to the crater. But that's about all I can add now.
LMP: Bob, I'm glad the squawk box is fixed. And, of course, send my love and best wishes out there to Tucson.
CC: That's a Roger, Jack. You guys might also be interested, here in the Houston area, all of the ground voice or air-to-ground is being carried on FM stations a hundred percent of it. And KUHT, the television station, will cover the - educa- tional TV station - is going to cover 100 percent of the EVAs, all three of them, for all the time.
CDR: That sounds great. We hope we can provide them with as much education as we can entertainment.
CC: We're counting on it.
CDR: I guess Parker's all we had left down there to brief them on the landing site, huh?
CC: _ won't even comment on that one.
CDR: (Chuckle) Okay. I figure he will later.
CDR: I'd like, also, to send my best up north to the Bellwood - the Bellwood area up there, because I think there's a squawk box up there, too.
CC: Beautiful. And,
CDR: Bob, it's - all in all, it's been a pretty exciting day. I think a pretty accomplishing day, and certainly a rewarding day on our part. It's also been a long day, but we're hoping that it can only be superseded by tomorrow. And Judg- ing from what we've got in store, it might very well be.
CC: I think that s_,m_ up the day. It's a day of anticipation for what's going to happen tomorrow. Everything's gone off real well here, and we're Just glad you're in the orbit you're in and ready for tomorrow.
LMP: My goodness, Bob. This is Jack. It's awful hard to spend much time up here anticipating. The events come so fast and certainly are exciting and rewarding, each one, one at a time. But ob- viously, tomorrow is going to be the biggy.
CMP: Okay. Real fine, Bob. Bob, I'm not sure whether it's entirely proper, being a bachelor, but I'd like to send my regards to everybody - all the families listening to squawk boxes tonight.
LMP: That is - that is, some of the hills and rilles and valleys associated with that ridge system.
CMP: Okay. I'11 torque it 10, 3, 0.
CC: Roger. We're standing by. We're ready for it.
UNKNOWN: Okay. VERB 74 - [sic]
CC: Roger. We got you. 63/11 Tape
CC: The E-MOD is finished, Ron.
CC: Ron, we're ready to up-link the Jet monitor pro- gram and one of the burn constants.
CMP: P20 and ACCEPT.
CDR: No. Go ahead, Bob.
CC: Okay. There's not a whole lot of news on the wire tonight, matter of fact. President Nixon received a firsthand report on private Vietnam peace negotiations today from a key member of the U.S. negotiating team, General Alexander Haig, Jr., Henry Kissinger's Chief Lieutenant. Haig flew back from Paris to report to the President, while technical experts from both sides held an unusual Sunday meeting in the French capitol. Presidential Assistant Kissinger will res_n_e his talks with North Vietnam's Le Duc Tho on Monday after a 1-day recess. And former President Harry Truman continued to show some signs of improvement late today after he was earlier removed from the crit- ical list at Research Hospital up , up in Kansas City. His cardiac situation has improved, and this improvement included a slower and stronger pulse and a stable blood pressure. The football scores are as follows in the National Football League today: The Bears defeated the Eagles 21 to 12; the Detroit Lions and the Buffalo Bills played to a 21-21 standoff; Dolphins extended their undefeated streak 23 to 13 over the New York Giants; the Patriots defeated the New Orleans Saints 17 to 10; Green Bay sewed up the Central Division of the NFC by defeating the Vikings 23 to 7; the Cardinals upset the Rams today 24 to 14; Denver defeated San Diego 38-13; Kansas City upset Baltimore 24 to 10; the 49ers defeated the Falcons 20 to nothing, 20 to 0; and Pittsburg defeated Houston 9 to 3, and they - they took the Central Division of the AFC. So the playoff picture is becoming a little clearer. You've got - In the NFC, you've got Washington, Dallas, and Green Bay. And the fourth team will either be San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Atlanta. That will be decided next week. In the AFC, Pittsburg, MiRmi, and Oakland are in it. And the fourth team will be either the Jets - and another team. They've got the Giants listed here, but it can't be the Giants because that's the wrong division. So we'11 - we'11 check that one out. Cleveland; okay, Cleveland. The fourth team is either going to be Cleveland or the Jets. And did you get a spurious MASTER CAUTION and WARNING?
CDR: No. Ron was retesting our bleeper again.
CDR: And it's one of those that worked in lunar orbit, I guess. It doesn't work during coast because it's working now.
CDR: Sounds like there's going to be some good football games coming up.
CC: Yes, indeed. You really can't call - -
CDR: Who is playing tomorrow night?
CC: That's the Oakland - Oakland and the Jets.
CC: Ron, the up-link is complete. The EMP is running, and the computer is yours.
CMP: Okay, Bob. We got it back. APOLLO 17 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CDR: You want H 2 TANK i - You want I and 2 ON?
CC: Negative. TANK1 ON.
CDR: Okay, that leaves us with TANK l, ON; TANK 2, OFF; and TANK 3 in AUTO. Is that what you want?
CC: Roger. If you're calling H2 fans; that's what we want.
CDR: Yes, H2 FANs, Bob; I'11 say it again. H2 FANs: i is ON, 2 is OFF, and 3 is AUTO.
CC: That's a good configuration, and that will be the sleep configuration.
CDR: Hey, Bob, it looks like we might make - getting to sleep on time tonight, and - well, we will make it. And I think it goes without saying, we def- initely want to get up on time tomorrow.
CMP: I'm going to have the tone booster plugged in, and also I want to make sure the suit power and audio power and all that stuff is on.
CC: If Ron's listening, Just some words about the mapping camera extend/retract times. We came up with slightly different times than what he'd called and we were wondering if his were just ball- park or whether he had timed it? In either case, the times are a little bit long on extend/retract which is a little cause for worry about that - the mapping camera may fail and later on downstream we may want to change our operating mode on that mapping camera and he might want to time it a lit- tle closer. If he - if he can - the chance should come up.
LMP: What - what times - -
CMP: Hey, Bob, that's a good point on the thing. Those weren't exact times and, as matter of fact, we looked - kind of looked away and it was about in - you know, somewhere around that - that period of time. We looked away and when - when we looked back, it was gray again, so - next - -
CMP: - - next time we extend them, I'11 get a good accurate indication.
CC: Okay. Well, no problem. CMl° ... --
CC: We'11 believe the strip chart. We'11 take the strip chart data. We've got 01:24, i minute 24 seconds for extend and 01:51, i minute 51 sec- onds for retract. And both those are a little bit on the high side.
CMP: Okay. I would believe the strip chart.
CC: Okay, we might lose you a little bit earlier than that. INCO.
CC: Okay, we may lose you a little early due to the SIM bay attitude and we'11 pick you up at 97:22.
LMP: Okay, Bob. Once more around at 97:22. 64/3 Tape IRP
CC: 17, Houston. Go ahead. Roger. We're just about ready to finish up here. I have a couple of questions. Do you want us to cycle cryo fans or Just leave them alone now?
CC: We'd like them just left alone, left in you con- figuration you are now, Jack.
LMP: Okay, there will be no cycling then.
CC: Roger. We have one question. Who's got the duty tonight or will he be wearing a headset?
LMP: Yes, he - Ron has the duty. He will be wearing the headset, but I will be on the biomed under- neath. Understand
CC: that. And one note for Gene. It's an addition to that Flight Surgeon's note. When you rehydrate your food, make sure that you go the - let it rehydrate for the maximum amount of time. I know you miss it on this one, but the next - like tomorrow morning, make sure it rehydrates the maximum amount of time.
LMP: Okay, I '11 tell him.
LMP: And we got the star crater stereo trio.
LMP: And the - we're - mag - Oscar Oscar is on 93 now. The last three pictures were that trio.
LMP: And, Bob, while we're gradually getting in eon- figuration here, let me reiterate something that I've been watching this rev as we did a lot of other things. And that was this relationship of the light-colored or light gray swirl patterns on the surface to patterns - associated pattern - parallel patterns that are darker than the average of the surrounding area. And this is true both in Mare Marginis and in most cases on the back side.
CC: Roger, Jack. We'11 get that to the PI.
LMP: Roughly, although they're very irregular patterns - roughly it's concentric zoning of dark to light within a intermediate albedo surface. Now there are variations on that theme; sometimes you don't get the symmetry quite as good, but it's common enough that I think it's worth noting.
LMP: Also, there's a sequence of different kinds of crater filling on the far side, and I think that, as the orbital stay progresses, we may be able to pin down the relative age relationships and the characteristics of those crater fill - filling episodes. Whether they are single episodes that happen in a variety of crater or they're a function of the age and characteristics of the craters in which you find them is not clear right now, but the - they seem to form fairly distinct groupings of crater-fill material.
CC: Roger. Jack.
CC: 17, Houston. You can go ahead and close the UV cover. We'd like to hold off i minute before you turn the UV off. We want to look at i minute of data with the cover closed. Oh, okay. Roger. A walkon. I see it now.
CC: Okay, we'11 give you a cue when you go _T OFF, and INCO would like to know what you've got on your high gain pitch and yaw knobs. Not the dials but the knobs.
LMP: All right. The knobs are - let's see, about plus 20 and 185.
CC: Okay, PITCH of 20 and 185 on the YAW.
CC: And, Jack, you can turn the UV off now.
CDR: No, I can't. I24P Okay, well, the sli - the light mantle is ob - very obviously mantling the area. The scarp was very detailed, and, so far, could not see any structure in the massifs at all, but I haven't had any - didn't have much time to watch it on that pass.
LMP: _l_neslide very definitely subdued the general detail in the plains area - or the light mantle, {f you will, rather than slide. MOCR Crater was finally out of the dark.
CC: Jack, we'd like to know if you think you can adjust the high gain as close to plus 15 and YAW 190 as possible?
LMP: I'11 tell you, from this altitude and with that low Sun, there's no question of the sharpness of the topographic features in the landing area. The - The scarp, and - and even some of the appar- ent back - pardon - backflow features - and Parker will knOW what I'm talking about - that is apparent flows to the west in the light mantle area were extremely sharp, even those fronts going west were sharp. It looked even more like a mare ridge than it ever did before.
CC: Okay, gang. And looking for a busy day tomorrow - -
CMP: Never fear. Your old CM - -
CC: Go ahead; I cut you out.
CMP: I said, "Never fear, your
CMP: is watching."
CC: Roger. And, Just a reminder S-BAND - -
CMP: He's got the watch tonight.
CC: - - NORMAL VOICE to OFF tonight, please?
CMP: Okay, okay, as soon as I get bedded down, I'11 do that.
LMP: Don't worry, he's got a batch of guys up here reminding him of that one.
CMP: And I checked out the little whistle, and it works like a charm.
CC: Roger. I was betting on - -
CMP: Just to make sure, I'm going to check it again.
CC: - - you guys to get that switch last night, and I lost my bet.

CMP: Houston, America. How you reading? Okay now?
CC: You're loud and clear, Ron. How are we?
CMP: Okay; might fine, Joe.
CC: Are you serious?
LMP: Well, I Just got on a headset. You never had a chance to - -
CC: Stand by. Here it comes.
LMP: - - wake me up before. (Laughter)
CC: It's coming at you, America.
LMP: _"_ank you, Joe. That's great. We're moving on.
CC: Don't you know? z
CMP: And a big eight-wheeler.
CC: And, America, you're 10 minutes from LOS, and the spacecraft looks great.
LMP: Okay, Joe. That's good to hear. And we're starting to move now, and we'11 be ready for you when we come around.
LMP: How long are you with us this morning?
CC: Oh, not too many more mlnutes.
LMP: Hope we didn't keep you up last night.
CC: The pleasure was ours, Jack. We devoted our 8 hours to selecting your wakeup call this morning and got a little help from the news room pool on that suggestion.
LMP: Well, that was a good suggestion. I had forgotten all about that song. That's a good one.
LMP: You ought to find the "Golden Rockets" for us some morning.
CC: You'11 wish you hadn't asked.
CMP: Hey; great, Joe. That's good to hear, by gosh.
LMP: What are you learning, Joe?
CC: Hotspots on the Moon, Jack.
LMP: Well, we know we had one going around it. We didn't know we had any on it.
CMP: Houston, the LM/CM DELTA-

LMP: Where - where is your big anomalies, Joe? Can you SlJmmarize quickly?
CC: Jack, we'11 get - get that for you next pass.
LMP: Well, don't worry about it. i think we're going to have a lot of things on our mind the next pass. But we're just passing over 0rientale again, Joe, and in earthlight it's probably one of the most spectacular sights in nature.
CC: Copy that, Jack. I can imagine.
CC: 17, we'11 think about that until you go LOS.
CC: 17, about 30 seconds to LOS. We'11 see you on the other side. It's boing to be a good day.
LMP: Righto, Joe.
CC: Okay, Jack. Good morning.
LMP: Good morning, Gordy. Welcome aboard.
LMP: I take it you're going to pick up the - the reports - postsleep reports later. Is that correct? From Ron?
CC: Anyway, it's convenient to you.
LMP: Well, we're moving towards getting the suits on. Unless you want me to take 5 minutes here, we'11 leave it alone and let Ron give it to you.

CC: Okay. We'11 pass it along.
CC: Okeydoke, Eon.
CDR: Gordy, how does America look to you this morning?
CC: Beautiful, as it has all the way to date.
CMP: Okay. How are Jack's EKGs and stuff. He's going to tape them now.
CC: Let me get a check.
CMP: (Chuckle) Wait a minute. He's not plugged in. But, you know, he's had them on all night. Were they good?
CC: Yes, Ron. He was plugged in; we had good signals.
CC: America, Houston. If someone's near the telemetry switch, if you go to ACCEPT, we'11 give you a state vector.
CC: Okay. And as we're supposed to update your trajectory, which is looking good - predicted perilune at PDI without DOI-2 would be 11.9, a little lower. So that means that DOI-2 will be a little less, in terms of DELTA-V, than nominal. But, otherwise, looking good.
CMP: Okay. Did you say 11.2 for perigee, now - without DOI-2?
CC: I might have said that. It's 11.9 predicted at PDI time withou DOI-2.
CMP: Okay. 11.9 predicted without - at PDI time with- out DOI-2.
CMP: Okay. SO DOI-2 will be a little less than predicted.
CC: Affirmat ire. CM_° I'm repeating it to these guys that are getting suited here, see.
CC: Okay. I have your vector now. You can go back to BLOCK.
CC: America, Houston. You owe us a reverification of docking tunnel index angle.
CMP: Okay. Let me check it.
CMP: Well, I kept ... thinking it might move back to zero, but it hasn't moved - plus 1.2.
CC: Okay; plus 1.2. For your information, Ron, on consumables this morning, we're running 6 percent above the Flight Plan line on RCS. On the hydrogen, we're about 8 percent above the line on tank 2; right on the lines on the other two hydrogen tanks. And on the 02, we're running our standard 4 to 5 percent below the line on oxygen tank l; tank 2 is right on; and tank 3 has now gained to about 3 percent above the line. All looking good.

CMP: Okay. We'11 change the B/D ROLL. Looks like we're going to run into a problem on our P52 down here, with these guys getting suited. Is it really necessary now?
CC: There's no time criticality on that. When they're out of the way, go ahead with it.

CC: America, are you pretty well caught up with time line now, or can you give me some indication where you are?
CMP: I'm checking it off here. Right now I'm at 108:10. I'm - haven't - changed the canister yet. Let me check and see if I can have time to do that or not.
CC: Yes sir; loud and clear. CSM/LM
CMP: Okay. I've removed the umbilicals - the umbilicals. Guess I need to install the probe and the drogue. I'11 get those things done right now.
CC: All right. I'11 make a note of the canister and remind you of it later.
CC: Hey, America. Can you confirm that you've got a pair of scissors on board with you?
CMP: (Laughter) Yes, I made him keep one.

CMP: They couldn't ever find the other set, either.
CC: Okay. Gets hungry without those.
CMP: (Laughter) It sure does. (Laughter).

CMP: Okay, Gene. You've got MIN DEADBAND, ATT hold, now.
CMP: Houston, America. Go ahead.
CC: In order to get a better drift check, they'd like to tweak up the attitudes before they do that coarse align. So how about doing a VERB 49 tweak back to the original undocking attitude.
CMP: Okay, that's the what; 0105 and 07
CMP: Okay. Stand by_ Gene. We'11 get back here. CMl° Okay?
CMP: Okay, Houston; America. 0105 and 0, correct?
CMP: That's interesting. I don't know how it got off attitude.

CMP: And if I just put the - No, I'11 do that.
CMP: I was going to say you could read the probe temp if I put the circuit breakers in.
CMP: Okay. There's number 1. One releases; two releases, and it's free. Seven. One release, two releases, and it's free.
CC: That's a good sign.
CMP: Okay. The docking probe circuit breakers are going to open. Okay. Extend/releases, and they went gray, of course, when they went open. Okay. EXTEND/RELEASE to OFF. Verify probe extend latch engage indicator not visible. Well, I'11 go back - it wasn't awhile ago, but I'11 go look again. Only if you hit EXTEND with the circuit breakers in. Mighty fine. It's still back inside there. Extend latch is still engaged.
CMP: Okay. Standing by. Go ahead.
CC: America, Houston, in order to get on and stay on the time line, I'11 remind you about the lithium canister after PDI; we can let that one go. And if you'd like to let the camera business slide until after your suit check and we'11 get those things. I'11 come back and remind you of those, too.
CMP: Okay. I've got the - the cameras all set. I got them out, anyhow. I don't have the - the right values on the lenses yet; but, anyhow, the camera are out and they're loaded.
CMP: I've got mag OO on the Hasselblad.
CMP: Okay, Houston. Why don't I go ahead and get the PGA ver out of the way, and then we can get some of the - data, or would you rather get the data up first?
CC: No, it's your choice. Why don't we go ahead and get the PGA, and I'11 Just sit on these pads, and could you tell me if you ever got aound to playing with the squelch on the VHF?
CC: Okay. You did get a satisfactory check on your side, didn't you?
CMP: I got a satisfactory - Every once in a while I can hear them now; they're cutting in and out somewhere, I don't know where.
CMP: Okay. SQUELCH A is setting at about 4.
CC: And, America, we'11 give you a state vector if you give us ACCEPT.
CC: Oh, about 29 minutes.
CMP: Oh, okay. Got a little time for the PGA ver then, I guess.
CC: And it's your computer, anytime you want to get it, Ron.
CMP: Ah ha, I got the old helmet and gloves on.
CMP: More cables all over the place here than I know what to do with.
CC: Well, this place looks like a pigpen - you've run the same course everyone else has, I guess.
CMP: Okay. You want me to maneuver back to attitude, Gene?
