LMP: Okay. "Greater than 168 oxidizer; 153, fuel."
CC: And I guess on that "Tight constraints" also, it's the - the chamber pressure says "Greater than 80" for the "Tight constraints."
CC: Okay. And that's the end of that procedure. A note here that this assumes a - a good oxidizer transducer, and there may be a - a problem that it's hung up. And we'11 have a - a little later change in the midcourse 2 burn procedure. And from this, we'11 be able to tell what - what - where the problem is. I'11 get that up to you as soon as they've sorted it out here. Okay, and there are two notes here. For Ken, a reminder to watch the UV film consumption magazine Oscar Oscar. He's right on the budget now, and there's no pad.
CMP: Roger. And there's no way to cut a film out.
CMP: Now, we're - we're aware of it's being tight, Tony. If you see us slip behind - I - I guess I don't know what to do about it. You'11 have to come up with a recommendation of what - what other photo to delete.
CC: Okay. Well, we Just thought we'd let you know that you had a two-frame pad, and we've already used it.
CMP: You mean we've taken two frames we weren't supposed to?
CC: I don't understand the note here. That was the note I got. Maybe it was used up before - before they loaded it or something. I'11 find out.
CMP: As far as I know, Tony - Yeah, yeah, I Just want to make sure that there's no misu_derstanding on our part about what it is we're supposed to do, because we took only those frames that were se- lected, because we are aware of the tight budget. 16/9 Tape
CMP: And we might be off a little bit on the numbers we gave you, because, you know, that counter's kind of gross, and it's easy to get off by a - by a n_mber or so, particularly when you start at the low end.
CC: Ail right; understand_ I'm just off that more than a n_mbero Okay, and a last note. We'd like you to take a look when you get a chance at that - the LM thermal surface, and see if you notice any changes or can give us any more words on it. We really don't anticipat_ a problem there. It turns out in looking back, there was a history of one batch of bad paint, and they sort of think it's Just the paint blistering up. And it doesn't seem to he on a - -
CC: - - on the surface that'11 give us a real bad proklem.
LMP: Okay. We're ready to bring up the high gain if you've got some angles for us.
CC: Okay. I'11 get them.
CC: Okay. We'd like you to stand by for 10 minutes on that high gain.
CC: Chartie, Houston.
LMP: Go _ead.
CC: Okay, on the HIGH GAI_, we'd like you to select PITCH, minus 40; YAW, plus 90; and the BEAM width in NARROW. And we'11 give you a cue to switch over to the HIGH GAIN.
LMP: Okay. You've got them selected. You going to cue us, you say?
CC: That's affirmative. We'11 give you a cue.
CC: Okay. We'd like you to go REACQUISITION now, and we'11 command.
CC: We'd like you to go REACQUISITION now.
LMP: Okay. You've got REACQ and HIGH GAIN.
CDR: Okay, Houston. To discuss that thermal layer of grass that we got growing on the - growing just outside the docking target, it's thinned out a pretty good bit since last night. I think it's gone somewhere, but there're a lot of these little square - rectangular strips about - up to 2 inches long; I see one that must be 3 inches long, and they're Just sort of - look like they're glued - somebody glued a bunch of strips of grass onto that thermal shield, but most of them have gone. Where it was 100 percent coverage before, it looks like it's about 50 percent coverage now.
CMP: Heys, Tony, are you folks ready for us to press on with a little film cycle?
CC: StaxLd by a second, Ken.
CC: Oki,, Ken; Houston.
CC: 0k_r, we'd like you to go ahead on the film cycling dowel to the MSFN cue and then call us back.
CMP: Wilco.
CMP: Ok_r, Houston. How about a cue?
CC: Ok_r. Stand by a second.
CC: Ok_r, Ken. Go on, then, with your procedure.
CMP: Ok_f, I'11 read these out as I go through them.
CC: Ail right.
CMP: And the only thing that looked a little different is when I got down to the step where it said "PAN CA_RA MODE to STANDBY," it already was. I guess that's Just an oversight.
CC: Ok_f. Okay, that's no problem.
CMP: Joh:_, what's the thumbwheel setting?
CMP: Ok_F, Tony. Can you read me now? I'm on VOX.
CC: Yes,.you sound fine.
CMP: Ail righty. MAPPING CAMERA is coming ON. Stand by.
CMP: Would you like to have the PAN CAMERA SELF TEST simultaneously, or would you like to do it sequenti ally?
CC: Okay; we'd like it simultaneously.
CMP: Okay; PAN CAMERA to SELF TEST, getting SELF TEST.
CMP: Okay, I've got the gray flag on the PAN CAMERA MODE talkback, and that took about k5 seconds, as opposed to a minute.
CMP: Okay. So I'm going to go ahead and take the PAN CAMERA POWER to OFF.
CMP: Okay, I'm getting ready to take the MAPPING CAMERA to OFF, center.
CC: Okay, I've got 2 minutes here.
CC: Right. A Mickey special.
CMP: Take the SM/AC POWER OFF. Man, that's what you call good timing.
LMP: Okay, Tony. We're going to OMNI Bravo, mhd selecting is returned to HIGH GAIN.
CC: Oh -
LMP: S-BAND AUX TV to OFF.
CC: Okay; sounds good, Charlie.
CMP: Yes, please, John; back to PTT INTERCOM. Thank you. I2_/CM
LMP: Okay, Tony, we got a DELTA - DELTA-P of 0.8 - -
LMP: - - and John's on the biomed now.
CC: Okay; we copy that.
CC: Hey, John, you're giving us some great TV there.
CDR: What did he say? What did you say, Tony?
CC: I said we're getting some great TV down here. Looks good.
CDR: W_s that one of your tapes?
CC: Ah so, that's a tape. Sorry about that.
CC: Go ahead. and
CMP: Okay, Tony. We're on the electrophoresis now, we're now - just about to - to hook up the power cable and turn the power on, and it says at that point "Hold for instructions from Houston."
CC: Okay (laughter), instructions I have there are to press on through that hold and go on down to just before starting the camera and then hold again and give us a call.
CC: Okay. At your convenience, when you get a chance, we'd like you to read out all quads of the RCS propellant quantity for correlation with the TM.
CMP: Okay. A is 90; B is 96; C is 96; D is over 100, about 101 or 2.
LMP: Houston, we're - we're down to the step - before Ken turns on the electrophoresis fire. Where do you want us to hold that? Over.
CC: Okay, we'd like you to hold just prior to starting the camera.
CC: Okay, Just prior to starting the camera.
CC: Roger. On the next page.
CMP: Okay; how about telling us where we're going here, because - -
CMP: - - I've got to turn this thing on, and I'd like to have it in my mind what it is we're going to do.
CC: Roger. It's no big deal. The note here was, at that point, you're supposed to observe the current meters, and if there's no indication of a current flow in any tube, you tap the box gently along the - the axis, or parallel with the face, and then you allow the whole de - the whole lmit to lie motion- less for additional 3 to 5 minutes before proceed- ing. They're afraid there may be a bubble in one of the tubes, and you don't get a current.
CMP: Okay. Well, actually, there's a bubble in each tube.
CC: Say that again.
CMP: Actually, there's a bubble in each tube. And it's each tube has a bubble. They are in exactly the same place. They're lined up in a row, and they are directly over meter number 3. And the bubbles are about - oh, one-eighth of mn inch in diameter.
CC: Okay, the PI says that's okay, and we should go ahead and proceed.
CMP: Okay. Now, the question that you had for me was that if - if any of the meters do not go into the green, we turn the power on. Did you want me to te_ the box, and then do what?
CC: Okay. The instructions were to tap the box gently, a]low the unit to remain motionless for an addi- tional 3 to 5 minutes, and then proceed.
CMP: Okay; and this time, if we don't get the meters into the green, we proceed anyhow; is that correct?
CC: According to the instructions, that's correct.
CMP: ALi righty.
CMP: Okay, Tony. It turns out that meter number 1 is just barely into the red; meter number 2 didn't come up quite into the red; meter number 3 is about a needle width below the red.
CC: Okay. We'd like you to go on with the experiment.
CMP: Okay, I've jiggled it a little bit and I'm gonna let it settle here for a second, and then we'11 start. We'11 give you a mark when we start.
CMP: Okay, Houston; we have started the experiment. knd as soon as we got it rotating - got it running, and I turned according to the decal on the box, Which is counterclockwise, half rotation; and, soon as I did, the orange film disappeared and - I see white particles coming through - coming through as a stream. It looks much like a - a - it looks like latex.
CC: Okay. We copy that. Any difference in rates between the different tubes?
CMP: Yeah. The first thing that happened, as soon as I cpened it, I got a big blob of this stuff inside cf the - it looks like the inside of the window here between where it shows - the decal on the outside says "sample 1 and 2." it's got a big - couple of kig blobs in there .... the number 1 sanzple is approaching it. The number 3 s_mple is about halfway between ring 2 and 3. Also have current meter number 1 is in the green, current meter number 2 is in the green, and number 3 is still about a needle width below the red line and didn't move at all. The bubbles are moving at about the same rate as the white material, and the first bubble in tube number 2 has just reached the yellow band, and as I understand this, I'm going to have to wait until the white material reaches that yellow band.
CC: That's affirmative. The white material in the fastest tute.
CC: And we had some bad comm right there in the _iddle when you were describing the rates and the differ- ence in the three tubes of the white material. If you could say a little bit of that again, it might he lp.
CMP: Okay. It's moving much more raFidly than I had anticipated it would, Tony. Right now, the num- ber 2 sample is leading by about a nose. It's just crossed the one - two - three - four - fifth ring inscribed on that center tube. The number 3 sample has just crossed the fourth one; the num- ber 1 sample has just crossed the fifth one now; and number 2 is about halfway between five and six. Number 3 sample is maintaining a very cohesive shape and looks --ike a little cylinder with a pointed nose on it, and it's maintaining its white consistency. And it's going in - I - guess that the length of the - group of particles in there that's maintain- ing a solid appearance is about the width of one of these lines. Then, it tails out to a very dif- fuse gaseols - just a swirl material behind it that goes all the way back to the Lexam. The faster samples are diffusing much more rapidly, and they have a little nose on them, which is very thin and leads ahead of the larger mass of material. And they form sort of a cone shape. _.d they are about 17/7 Tape two _nd a half to three ring lengths in length, and --I'm talking about the distance between - sets of rings. And they both appear to be dif- fusing about the same amount. The number 2 sample is really starting to break up now and starting to twist the - looks like it's taking on a corkscrew appearance as it approaches the yellow line. Ymd it's approaching the yellow line, and now nu_ber 1 is approaching one ..._ so I'm gonna hit the RE- VERSJ_L SWITCH.
CC: Okay. You say there is no difference in diffusion between 1 and 2?
CMP: Well_ there wasn't when we started, now - well, now that we've hit the REVERSAL SWITCH (laughter), I guess all bets are off. The - (laughter) they've Just really broken up in number 2 and in - number 1 is holding together a little better. They really looked very, very similar; except that just as it crossed the last ring before the yellow ring, num- ber 2 started to get ar_elongate nose on the point, and it was starting to twist - I say it was looking like a corkscrew. And then about the same time, when - just about the time I hit the REVERSAL SWITCH, the sample in number 1 did the same thing. The sample in number 3 is doing entirely a different operation. It retained sort of a bullet shape all the way down as far as it went, and now - that we've reversed it, the pointed end, which was on the right side:, the direction of motions has now become a flat blunt end, and it's picking up - kind of an arrow-shaped head on the left side as it goes back towa_'ds the container. But it's still retaining its cohesiveness. The sample number 2 just really got all diffused and spread around. And number 1 is holding together a little bit better. It's star_;ing to take shape that looks very much like number 3; in fact, the trailing edge - that's the one on the right side now, or sample number 1 - has Just about caught up and looks very much like sam- ple number 3, except that you can tell that some of the material in sample 1 has been diffused.
CMP: And we're about to approach the original end. Do you want me to reverse it again, cr what do you suggest at this point?
CC: Yeah, Ken. We'd like you to reverse it again.
CMP: Okay, and I'11 do that when the first large portion of the sample reaches the Lexan ms_ifold; is that okay? That's - some of the diffused material will already coincide.
CMP: Okay, I've reversed it, and I reversed it when the pointed end of sample number 3 reached the first marked ring before reaching the Lexan manifold.
CMP: And it's starting to snake now. I - These - these little blobs don't seem to take this reversal so well. Another thing that was a little different on that first - when I - after Z reversed it, sample number 1, I mentioned that all three had bubbles who were right together when we started. The bubble on - on them all passed over to the extreme right end, except that number 1, when we reversed the samples, it remained over in the right end, and numbers 2 and 3 traveled with the material.
CMP: Okay, Tony, number 2 has reached the end again. I'm going to reverse it for the iast time.
CMP: It's reversed at this time. Mark it.
CMP: Number 2 is completely - looks like a - an emulsion Number 1 still has a central core that's holding together, and number 3 is doing a good job of stay- ing together. It's diffused very little.
CMP: Okay, and at the end of this - it looks to me like it's so diffused that at the end of this run when we get it back, I'11 just go ahead and secure it.
CC: Yeah, Ken, I think they're gonna have fun analyzing that one.
CMP: I think they've got their work cut out for them. Are there any questions that you might want to get resolved that maybe I - were obvious to me but weren't obvious to you (laughter) before we put it all away? We're going to be closing down here in a couple of minutes.
CC: Okay. The PI is back there, and hopefully he's working on some questions.
CC: Okay. 0ne, you said you - you tapped the box there at the beginning to try to get rid of the bubbles. How long did you wait before you started? I know you gave a mark, but we'd like to verify that.
CMP: Beltween the time we tapped the bubbles and the time we started the experiment?
CMP: Is that the time frame you - ? Okay. That time frame was - I would guess it was about a minute, Tony. Because when I tapped it, I just couldn't get them to move. I had already - I had already tapped that thing once before, for the bubbles, and - because when - as soon as we unpacked it, we saw the bubbles out there, and I banged it a little bit to try and see if I could get them to move and didn't have any luck at alii. So we didn't wait any 3 or 5 minutes, it - it was about 2 min- utes, I guess.
CC: Ok_y, we copy that; 2 minutes. And on the tube 1, did you notice any separation of the two sizes?
CMP: Not unless that's what this diffuse and central feature turns out to be. But the dark - oh, let me rephrase that, the higher concentration of material that makes it look more solid - if that's a large particle and the diffuse material is the finer particles, then I would say that perhaps there was a separation of small oarticles from larger ones in tube number 2 just about the time I reversed it, Just starting to show up; s_nd number 1 perhaps the same. And number 3, I would say, if that's the proper interpretation, that there was no appreciable separation of any kind. And I'm not sure that number 1 ever exhibited the - some of the symptoms that number 2 did. I can't tell you right now which of these tubes splurted these blobs of particles under the window unit.
CC: Ail right, we copy that. We - I sort of expected from the information we got here that 1 would be the one that split up in the two sizes, but I guess we'11 have to look at that later.
CMP: Okay. Again_ I'm not sure what this little burst of material that got out on the window might be. Maybe we lost some of the stuff from one of them.
CC: Okay. That's all the questions I had here. At least the bugs didn't eat the particles.
LMP: Houston, did you get that? _nat was magazine b_ up to frame 55 on that experiment.
CC: Okay, Uncle Uncle 55. Thank you.
CC: Okay. At your convenience, we've got the chs_nge to your SPS burn procedure.
CDR: Okay, you've got to stand by on that one. Things are kind of busy right now.
CC: Right_ understand. No hurry at ail.
LMP: Tony, you just went by my window, and that half-Earth, man, is a spectacular sight.
CC: I bet it is. I tell you, I'm green with en_y.
LMP: Well, I don't want to trade with you.
CC: (Laughter) You say the world looked _retty good when it went by?
CMP: How far out are we now, Tony?
CC: 108,285.1.
CMP: Say again. You were broken up.
CC: Okay; 108,285.1. Change to point 6.
CMP: I think one of the most impressive sights, Tony, is the cloud formations you can see and the polar icecap.
CC: Very good. Have you had a chance to look long enough to see your - see the dynamics at all?
CMP: Negative. We just now took the shade down on my side. That's the first view I've had all morning.
LMP: There was that awful big storm up off the coast of Alaska in the Bering Sea, I guess it was yesterday. I can't see that now, though. I think you all are in the dark.
CC: I guess our weather chart doesn't go up that high. I was going to see what we've got there now, but it only includes your recovery areas.
CC: We're reviewing that fi]m that you took - that night. TIr that y:u took last -r,d _here are a lot of sparklies out the windo-,; there. _,;ere those all just loose particles floating around?
LMP: Yes, the iM was really shedding on that one panel there, Tony, and, in fact, we've still got ouite a few par_ticles floating along with us right now.
LMP: Houston, O. r
LMP: Okay, Tony. I'm back up again. Do you want to talk at - to us about those SPS burn rules?
CC: Oh - -
LMP: Stand by i. Ken wants to - Stand by.
LMP: Okay, Tony. Go ahead.
CC: Okay, this isn't the burn rules, it's a discus- sion of procedures for midcourse 2 only. And a change could be noted in your cue. card - SPS G/5-2, cue card - or the G&C Checklist but you might want to hear the whole thing before you write it down. Okay, at b_zrn minus 6 minutes, the line that reads "SPS HELIUM VALVE, two, to AUTO" should be changed to "SPS HELI'_ VALVES, two, to manual for 10 seconds." And "After 10 seconds, SPS HELIUM VALVES, two, to AUTO." And then, they'd remain in AUTO for the burn. And we have a couple of notes to that. First - -
CMP: You're talking about going to ON when you say "manual." And you don't want us to stay there 10 seconds if it exceeds 200, do you?
CC: That's right. If it exceeds 210, we want you to turn them off. And we'11 do the burn with them off - because if it went to AUTO during the burn, we'd go right back into the problem.
CMP: Ok_r.
CC: Okay. That was one of the notes, and you Just anticipated it there. The other note is, you may, if - if we've diagnosed the transducer problem correctly, you'11 probably get an SPS PRESSURE light. That will go on at 201 pounds.
CC: Right now, they are anticipating that, by the time of the burn, that transducer will be biased about 15 pounds high.
LMP: 0k_r; that's the oxidizer side?
LMP: 0k_r. What is - what do you think is wrong with thai; transducer?
CC: Right now, the note is that the comparison chamber, which should be at about atmospheric pressure, has levied. And the leak is Just making up for the no_lal absorption of helium, so the gage is reading about constant. Eventually, that comparison eh_lber will leak down to zero, and then you'11 be comparing - instead of comparing to 14.7, you'11 be comparing to zero, and it will read 15 pounds high.
CC: We're reading about 11 pounds high now.
LMP: Ok_'; our gage has been constant since lift-off.
CC: Right. We can read the pressure farther on down the line; and, in the fuel side, the tank pressure and the pressure down the line are tracking right aloz_, and they should be on the oxidizer side. But on the oxidizer side, the tank's staying constant and the one dcwn the line is dropping down as it should. So either the one in the tank is just locked up or the leak out of the comparison ch_lber is just making up the difference.
CC: Just so there is no misunderstanding here, I'd like to verify this up - this - procedure. We're going to manual for 10 seconds at 6 minutes befor_ the burn_ and then_ nominally_ we'11 go back to AUTO even if you get a - a caution. The only point where we_d go to OFF would be if it went a%ove 21:}.
LMP: Okay, copy. At 6 minutes, HELI[_ VALVES go to manual for 10 seconds, then to AUTO. If pressure goes to greater than 210, go to OFF.
LMP: If we get a caution light, but ]_ess than 210, we still stay in AUTO.
CC: That's r_ght.
LMP: Houston, 16. Do you guys feel like that your transducers are good on the ground?
LMP: What I mean to say is, do you feel like that your telemetry's good on the SPS tank pressure?
CC: Stand by 1, Charlie.
CC: Okay, the telemetry here - the telemetry is good. And we can read from the transducer that you're reading Mour oxidizer tank pressure; we can also read from the inlet pressure transducer, which you can't read on boar_. The inlet pressure transducer indicates that - nominal decay and pressure due to helium absorption by the oxidizer. And this looks Just like all the other flights. The other one is the one that you are reading, and it looks like it's locked up. The reason f_r the procedure that we've sent up is to make sure that we know the pressures in the lines before this burn, which will give us a baseline to plan the management during the LOi.
LMP: Well, okay. That's what had us a - talking in here about how we're going to monitor the LOI.
CC: Right. That's our concern, too. And what we're trying to do is get enough unknowns out of this mideourse so that we can have a good handle on the LOI.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 16. Over.
CDR: Roger. The bias test is completed at _he end of a minute 40 seconds. We got 102.0 on our DELTA-V co_mter.
CC: Oke_. 102.0.
CC: OkEy, we've got a few more questions on that paint shredding. When you have a break, if you'11 give us a call, we'11 send them up to you.
LMP: 0k_y, Tony; go ahead.
CC: Okay. Last night during the TV show, the lighting wasn't ideal. Maybe you have observed something the_ we couldn't see in the tapes here. Okay, that pazel behind the docking target - was it completely covered with the shredded material? There's an access panel right in the middle of that - of the overall panel there - and we're curious to know if it was just in the access panel, or the whole panel.
CC: Ok_, Tony, it was on the whole panel.
CC: 0ks_, how about any other panels around? It looked like on TV there might be some on that panel just to the right. And, if so, do you have any words on any other panels?
LMP: Oksy, it's on that waole section there, Tony. There's two triangular panels, one on each side of this rectangular pattern which is right below the docking target. That whole section that is parallel of the plus-X, below the docking target, the two triangular panels and the rectangular panel all are shredded.
CC: Was there any gold Mylar Kapton visible on the panel behind the docking target?
LMP: Negative. It's - it's - apparently just a black surface nob, most of the white-looking paint, or whatever it is, is all - most all gone now. There's just a - oh, I'd say maybe a IO percent of the sur- face is now covered with this shredded white stuff.
CC: The origin of that question was there was some question whether the panel may not have come off entirely and, underneath that, is some of the Mylar stuff.
LMP: Well, the panel is still on, in fact, you - you can't even see the Mylar - the - the - Below it is a black surface that looks much like the top of the ascent prop - propellant tank.
CC: Okay, and I guess you mentioned last night there was some streaming of the paint as it was coming off. Was there a preferred direction - or what was it?
LMP: Yes, radially - well, from us, it was radial to the X-axis. Almost right out over the ascent module - out the Y-axis.
CC: Was it independent of your Jet firings?
LMP: When Ken fired the Jets, it really blew it off then.
CC: Uh-huh. In the same direction?
LMP: No, it made it go the other way down towards - the - the legs of the LM.
CC: Okay, and, without the RCS then, it was almost at right angles to the panel and, otherwise, it was going down towards the legs?
LMP: Yes_. and it looks like - like John said, right now, Tony, as we come around into the Sun, there's some particles coming out -.off now more towards quad 2. And it looks like it's on the underside of this panel as we cannot - we cannot see it, and - but it's between quad 3 - 2 and the APS propellant modlLle - correction the APS propellant tank.
CC: Okay, we're looking at the drawing here and see where you mean.
CC: Roger; we copy that, Charlie. _?_at we're searching for on this direction of flow is if you think there's any - anything in the area that might cause it to stream out like some - a leaky zank or any- thing of that sort, or whether it just seems to be A.]most random.
LMP: Say again Tony, you cut out after - all after "What we':re searching for."
CC: Okay, what we're searching for here is just - We don't think there is any leak over there or any- thing of that sort. 3ut, if there is a preferred direction of flow_ we're looking for any indication of what it might be so we'11 know where - where the flow is coming from.
LMP: Tony, please, you're .-for some reason, you weren't up-linking, and we've had all after "What - what we're searching for.'
CC: Okay; stand by a secc:ad, Char±ie. i'11 be back with you in a minute°
CC: Okay, Charlie; Houston° How do you copy now?
LMP: You're 5 by.
CC: Okay, we were just searching around here a little bit - Far-out possibility might be that we had a small leak in there or something and it was causing the peeled paint to flow off in a particular direc- tion; and we were just wondering if you had any indication that that might be the case, or whether it's just flying off at right angles?
LMP: Well, when we first saw it, that was our opinion also, but now that most of it's gooe - is - it - it's sort of just coming off in different direc- tions. O_rer.
LMP: And, Tony, the stuff that - is really not white; it's more of - now it's more of a gold-looking color or sandy color now.
CC: Okay. That's the shredded stuff you're talking about?
LMP: That affirmative.
CC: All right, the thermal people aren't - aren't upset about this at all. They don't think it will give us any constraint. Evidently, that surface was only on there for the very high-Sun case.
LMP: Okay. Well, the panel is intact underneath that paint Job, whatever it was. The panel apparently is intact.
CC: Okay, Charlie, I guess that's the whole set of questions here. Everybody is very happy with - with what we're hearing.
LMP: Tony, that panel that shredded - the ones we were telling you about are - have some more pronounced wrinkle ridges in them than any of the other panels.
CC: Okay, we copy that, Charlie. We'11 find out what that means.
CDR: Houston, ]6. Do you read?
CMP: Okay, did you read John there?
CMP: Okay, we're exiting PTC and going to the far-UV attitude.
CC: 16, we've got a state vector and a target load whenever you're ready to accept.
LMP: You ye got it.
LMP: How long you been down there?
CC: Oh, about 20 minutes.
LMP: Howls the weather down there today, Pete?
CC: Beautiful. A little warm.
CC: And_, Charlie, you're right over the Gulf of Mexico.
CMP: He Looked out his window and said that you guys are still there.
CC: Say again, Ken.
CMP: Looks like you guys are still there.
LMP: What did you say about the Gulf, Pete?
CC: Yeah, you should be right directly over the Gulf of Mexico.
LMP: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing - that we could see it, anyway.
CDR: Tha_k you. Do you want us to go to Delta now, or you guys going to hang on to the antennas?
CC: Roger. You can stay there. Page tll
CMP: Houston, do you have the angles?
CC: Affirmative; we got them.
CMP: Torched at 39:30.
CC: And_. 16, we can get the MCC-2 pad and the high gain antenna angles for MCC-2 whenever you're ready.
CDR: Okay, Houston. Go ahead with your pad.
CC: Okay, MCC-2: SPS/G&N; 66768; plus 1.24, minus 0.11; 030:39:00.01; NOUN 81 is plus 0008.9, minus 0001.1, plus 0008.9; 094, 354, 010; NOUN 44s are NA; DELTA-V T, 0012.6, 0:02, 0008.3; sextant star, 40, 256.4, 30.3; rest of the pad is NA. Set stars are Sirius and Rigel; 219; 166; 313; ullage, none; LM weight, 36258.
CDR: Okay, we copy MCC-2, SPS slash G&N; 66768; plus 1.24, minus 0.11; 030:39:00. 81; plus 0008.9, minus 0001.1, plus 0008.9; 094, 354, 010; iNA; NA; 0012!.6, 0:02, 0008.3; 40, 256.43 30.3; rest of the pad is NA. Sirius and Rigel; 219; 166; 313; no ullage; LM weight, 36258.
CC: That's affirmative, Johnny. Now you ready for the high gain angles?
CC: Okay. PITCH, minus 46; YAW, plus 0.
CDR: PITCH, minus 46; YAW, plus 0.
CMP: Okay, Houston, we turned on the HYDROGEN PURGE LINE HEATERS; maybe we can gat this purge off a hair early.
CC: Roger; ccpied.
CDR: Houston, can we do this waste w_ter dump now, or ac you want us to wait closer in?
CC: Stand by a minute, John; we'11 check it.
CC: John, we'd prefer you wait until after the sextant star check.
CMP: I'11 tell you one thing about that - that sextant business, Don. We got so many particles off the LM out there that I don't believe you could recog- nize a star pattern - in the telescope ever, but they show up just perfect in the sextant.
CMP: Sure makes you appreciate one of these nondrifting platforms.
CC: Roger. Ken, in view of that, you can do that water dump any time you want.
CMP: Oh, we'11 go ahead and do that. Do you have any objections to our going ahead and going to the attitude?
CMP: Looks like we're really crowding the length of time it's going to take to dump the water - up against the burn time.
CC: Yes, you can go ahead - you can go ahead to atti- tude, or do the water dump whichever you want.
CMP: Okay, we'11 - we'11 go ahead and go to attitude and see what we have for time.
CMP: I'd like to - We'11 get the star check off in the first priority.
LMP: Pese, we go to stop charging BAT A now?
CC: And, 16, you can delete charging battery A after the burn; it's charged sufficiently.
CC: 16, I've got some gyro drift updates and PIPA bias for you, when you're ready to copy.
CC: Okay, the gyro drift - I'11 give you addresses and numbers. Address 1460, 77552; address 1461, 77756; address 1462, 77307.
CMP: Okay. That's 1460, 77552; 1461, 77756; 1462, 77307.
CC: That's affirmative. And on the PIPA bias, the address is 1456, 76747; OMNI Alfa, 16.
CMP: Okay, 1456, 76747.
CC: That's affirmative, and did you copy OMNI Alfa?
CMP: You say OMNI Alfa?
CDR: Pete, you're on the high gain. Do you want REACQ and NARROW?
CC: Just a moment. REACQ and NARROW, Johnny.
CDR: Okay, the star check checks out good. It's right in the middle, and the waste water dump is in work.
CC: Say, again, John; I didn't copy that.
CDR: Star checks good; it's right in the middle, and the waste water dump is in work.
CMP: Don, could you tell us if - if the DELTA-V C number you gave us includes any kind of a bias tc compen- sate for the minute of F2_S on t--me prior to ignitior_?
CC: Just a moment.
CMP: Yeah, I'm not asking for one_ I'm just asking if that's in there.
CC: Okay, stani by while I check it.
CMP: Okay. We are terminating the waste water dump now.
CC: Ken, the pad does take that into account.
CMP: Okay; thank you, sir.
CDR: Okay, we've pressurize the - the - pressure in the SPS now.
CDR: Okay, Houston. I'm looking at oxidizer pressure of Just about 210. We're going to leave the valves in AUTO.
CDR: Well, the old burn's complete, Houston. It's a big boot.
LMP: Okay, Houston. Do you want a burn report or did y'all see everything?
CC: Stand by 1. 16, we'd like a burn report.
LMP: Okay, DELTA-T. was 0; burn time was, on my watch, ig 2.1. We got trim within an attitude of 094, 352, 008; plus 0.1; minus 0; plus 0.1; DELTA-V C, minus 3.1. Fuel is reading 010, and OX, 010; no unbalance.
LMP: An_ on board, our fuel - Okay, Pete, and on board, the fuel pres - during the burn, the fuel pressure dropped to 170 and the oxidizer dropped to 200.
CC: Unierstand, 170 and 200.
CDR: Okay, Houston, our LM/CM DELTA-P is 0.8. You want to go ahead and do the TUNNEL VENT to VENT until greater than 2.7, right?
CDR: Houston, what's your best guess on how long this baSy will get to 2.7 if it started off at 0.9?
CC: Stand by 1. I'11 get you a number. They're saying an hour and 50 minutes.
CDR: That's about what we - that's about what it looks iike to me.
CC: John, you using Charlie's wristwatch to get that ntm_ber?
CDR: No, I was Just remembering how small that tunnel venthole is.
CC: 16_, would you verify H2 tanks 1 and 2 HEATERS, OFF, and H 2 tank 3 FAN, AUTO?
CDR: Oh_, oh, we got tanks 1 and 2 HEATERS in AUTO, and - and FAN 3 in AUTO. I'11 turn H2 HEATERS 1 and 2, OFF.
CC: Roger; thank you. LM/CM
CDR: Okay, Houston. We're up to 2.1 on the DELTA-P gage now.
CC: Rog_r. Copy 2.1. And while I'm talking to you on '_his oxygen-tank pressure gage, it's starting to look like there is a bias in there of about 14.7 due to the fact that the reference chamber has ap- parently leaked its 1 atmosphere reference value do_ to probably vacuum. And that, coupled with a 5.-psi meter bias, should give you a total bias of about 20 psi on the oxygen-tank pressure. But the gage seems to be working okay except for that bias, so we're going to continue to follow it so we can give you a - maybe a better number prior to LOI.
CDR: Thazlk you, Pete.
LMP: Okay, Pete. I Just took my windowshade out of my rendezvous window and, looking out at quad 1 of old Orion, the thermal shield that sits directly inboard of the - the - of the - of the quad - it's facing the plus-Z direction. It's a little piece about 3 feet long by about a foot wide; it's be- ginning to peel off also, now. Over.
CC: It's doing the same thing as the - as the panel we were - we looked at last night, huh?
LMP: That's affirm, except for - It - it's not nearly as bad, and it's just primarily on the inboard side, but it is beginning to get the shredded- wheat appearance like the other one. Over.
LMP: Pete, on the outboard side [clears throat] right out near t.he quad - or right above the quad - on that same panel, it - it seems to me it's begin- ning - it looks like it starts out with a very fine, shaggy-grass-type stuff, and then slowly peels up into the shredded-wheat type. Over.
CC: 16, Houstcn. When you get a minute, we've got a - an addition to the Flight Plan at 32:48.
CDR: Roger. Gc ahead with your 32:18 addition.
CC: Okay. We want to add a note to read the LM/CM DELTA-P.
CC: And we want to get that prior to that CM/LM pres- sure equalization decal.
CC: And, Ken, that - we've made an ink correction on the back of that AOS/LOS Sun-wheel aid there. And when you get around to digging that out, I can give it to you, or I can pick i_ up later.
CDR: Ken's busy right now. Say again. Over.
CC: Okay, on the back of the Sun wheel - the AOS/LOS Sun wheel - we've entered an ink note to account for the fact that we change REFS_AT in the middle of his work there. We made an error on it. We've got to change the note now, and sometime when he's got that w_eel out, I can read him up the correction.
CDR: Okay, Houston. We're maneuvering _o the attitude.
CC: Roger. 22/1 Tape
CDR: Okay, Houston, we got 2.7 on the tunnel vent right now.
CC: Roger; copy 2.7 - -
CDR: I :mean CM DELTA-P.
CC: Roger; LM/CM DELTA-P - -
CDR: On the LM/CM DELTA-F.
CDR: Okay, Houston, we're _oing to come on with the direct 02 and pump up the cabin.
CDR: How does that look, Houston? Is that about 5.7 to you?
CC: We're showing about 5.5, John.
CC: John, they say that's good enough now.
CDR: Okay, DIRECT 02 is going CLOSED.
CDR: And the DELTA-P is 3.3.
CC: Roger; stand by a minute.
CC: 16, we want to continue TM venting until you have ar - a reading - DELTA-P reading of 3.4 on the meter, and that should take less than 10 minutes.
LMP: Okay, we copy. Wetll go to 3.4.
CDR: Okay, we're in _ VENT.
CMP: Okay, Houston, it's an honest i_.h.
CMP: Are we cleared to proceed? Over. Kef.
CMP: Okeydokey.
CDR: Okay, Houston, we're about ready to remove the hatch.
CC: Roger. there
CMP: Charlie's floating on over now.
CDR: Houston, Charlie's floating on over to th_ lunar module now - to check on old Orion.
CDR: Extend that docking tunnel index, minus 3.5.
CC: Minus 3.5.
CMP: Houston, Casper.
CC: Go ahead, 2asper.
CMP: Roger, Don. Did you guys get the tunnel index?
CC: We've got it, Ken.
CMP: And, Don, I'm holding off on the oxygen heaters. I'm keeping them all three in AUTO until we get th_ surge and repress tanks built back up. If' that's okay, if you would like for me to _urn the:r, off, I can reconfigure now; otherwise, I would like you to help me remember not to leave them on.
CC: Roger, we _oncur, Ken. We'11 remind you.
CMP: Hey, Don, can I talk to you about the docking latch?
CMP: You all set, or do you want me to wait a minute?
CC: No, go ahead.
CMP: Okay, you remember we told you at the time we - that we docked that we had a number 10 that didn't look like it had stroked quite the same as the others; but the lock was over the - over the rail.
CC: Righ::.
CMP: You weren't on board at the time, that's right, we were talking to Gordy - -
CMP: But that's one of the things we reported and the plate that goes over the bungee fairing is cocked slightly. And now that we've got everything cleaaed out of the tunnel, I can look in here. It's real obvious that the bungee hasn't fired completely. It's down; the top of the bungee is recessed about a half of an inch down. It looks like it just hadn't triggered and, as a matter of fact, I'm looking at the latch and, by golly, I can see between the latch and the total ring, so it didn't even pull down against that. And I really obviously don't have any concern for it; except I'm - I've never seen one that looked just like this and I was gonna go ahead and recock it and fire it again and see how that worked with a manual trigger. But I got to thinking maybe that's - maybe it's best to let you folks think about it. The main thing I want to do is make sure it's not a problem in unlatching it when the time comes.
CC: Cas_er, we capt - we got all the data we need and we're going to take a look at it. We do not want you to recock and fire the thing manually and we'11 get back to you later.
UNKNOWN: And, House:on, Casper turned over the power supply to Orion !_t 33:58.
CC: Roger, Casper.
CMP: Orion, ho,,T do you read Casper :_-_VHF Alfa?
CDR: Man, you're just super on VHF Alfa. How me?
CMP: Man, that's good stuff, isn't it?
CDR: Just beautiful.
CMP: You're ju_-t as clear as you ca: be.
CDR: Okay. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
LMP: Hey, Ken; B SIMPLEX.
CMP: Orion, Cas_er on Bravo SIMPLEX.
CDR: Okay, I'm reading you 5 by, Casper. How me?
CDR: You're su_er.
CDR: Houston, how do you read Orion': Over.
CC: You're loud and clear, Orion.
CDR: Okay, we're coming down DOWNVOiCE BAC_JP and - on a hot mike, and you're loud and clear vo us. Over.
CDR: Okay, how Joes the LOW BIT' P3_TE look tc ,_c_ j U, Pete?
CC: Looks good, Orion.
CDR: Okay, I'm soing up BIT RATE to HIGH. Okay, how do you read now, Pete? Ta_e 22/5
CDR: Okay, you're 5 by also. You got HIGH BIT RATE.
CC: Looks good, John.
CDR: Okay, we're going BIOMED, RIGHT. How do you read now, Pete?
LMP: Okay, you want to - we can - we're down tc step 5 on page 1-118 - 1-18. Do you want to look at the HIGH BIT RATE some more?
CC: Negative. We don't want to look at it anymore.
LMP: You do not. Roger. We're going to LOW BIT PATE. Okay, the book says "Perform voice and low bit rate check with MSFM." How do you read?
CDR: Same-o.
LMP: Houston, how do you read with the FUNCTION in VOICE? Over.
LMP: Okay, you're 5 by and LOW BIT RATE. How does it look?
CC: LOW BIT RATE looks good.
LMP: Okay, we're going to HIGH BIT RATE. And we'11 do the same thing with you - voice check and high bit rate check.
LMP: Houston, how do you read - now? Over.
LMP: Okay, give me a short count please, Pete.
UNKNOWN: Roger; you're very good. Okay, we're going to - BIT RATE is going LOW, and we're going S-BAND RANGE to RANGING.
LMP: Okay, how do you read now? Over.
CC: Loud and ,:_lear.
LMP: Okay, how is the ranging check gcing?
CC: Ranging looks good, Orion.
LMP: Okay, Houston, our ED bats are bcth GO at 37 volts and the sequence camera works.
UNKNOWN: And John's, OPS was 5800 and mine was 6000. Over.
LMP: Okay. As far as we're concerned, the comm is just super, and we're ready to go on to phase 120 and deactivate it, if you guys are.
CC: Stead by 1 on that.
CC: Okay, Orion. You can deactivate.
LMP: Okay, deactivating.
CMP: Okay, Houston. Casper has LM power back at 34:19.
CC: Roger; 34:19.
CMP: Hey, Don, if anyone wonders what I'm doing with 52, I just wanted to use auto OPTICS to point at Jupiter.
CMP: I'm not gonna take any marks.
CC: Casper, we've got the LOI-minus-5 flyby pad when- ever you're ready to copy.
CDR: We got Casper's keeper over in the lunar module taking a peek, and we'11 be closing it out and we'11 get it in a minute.
LMP: Pete, you - really get to be a real believer in the heating capacity of the Sun. In the lunar module here, the commander's window is in direct sunlight, and it's almost too hot to touch it; and my window's in the shade, and it's got fro - it's frosted over.
UNKNOWN: Okay; we 6onna close her out, Pete.
CC: Okays Joh_ny.
CDR: Houston_ 5he hatch is closed; the drogue is in- svailed; 5he probe's 'installed_ the hatch is in- stalled on Earthside_ the LM TUNNEL _NT valve is L{/CM DELTA-P_ the tunnel liRhts are off. Is it o_ay if we go to PTC instead of FDC [?] now, or d_ y'all want to wait _nti! 34? (Music in background)
CC: 16, you can go ahead and do the F?C.
CC: 16, in addition to the LOI flyby pad, we've got scr_e cryo tank configuration changes for you.
CDR: Okay. If you can hold up for a second on that. (Music in background)
CDR: Hey, Houston; 16. You can go ahead with mhe cryo tank reconfiguration.
CC: Okay. On the cryo tanks, we want H 2 tanks 1 and 2 .HEATERS, AUTO; and tank 3 FAN, OFF. OXYGEN tanks 1 and 2 HEATERS, OFF; tank iB HEATER, AUTO.
CDR: Okay. Roger. Configuration now: H 2 HEATERS 1 and 2, AUTO; 02 HEATERS ! and 2, OFF; 3, we're AUTO. That's as we had it. H 2 fans i and 2, OFF; and 3, OFF.
LMP: Okay. NASA in Houston, you can go ahead with the LOI-minus-5 pad.
CC: Okay, L0I minus 5 flyby, SPS/G&N; 66603; plus 1.24, minus 0.12; 069:28:26.27; plus 0039.8, minus 0118.9, plus 0422.9; 210, 193, 346; NA; _ is plus 0020.4; 0441.1; 1:07, 0436.5; sextant star 14, 124.8, 17.4; the next three lines are not applicable. Latitude, minus 23.03, minus 165.00; 1100.9, 36207; 142:23:42. Set stars Sirius and Rigel, 219, 166, 313. Ullage, none. Other: number 1, burn SPS docked; 2, pad based on PTC REFSMMAT; 3, LM weight, 36287. SPS/G&N;
LMP: Roger, Pete. LOI minus 5 flyby, 66603- plus 1.24, minus 0.12; 069:28:26.27; plus 0039._. I missed DELTA-Vy, DELTA-V Z is plus 0h22.9; 210, 193, 346; HA is NA; plus 0020.4; 4411, 107, 0436.5; 14, 124.8, 174; NA; latitude minus 23.03, minus 165.00; 1100.9; 362.07; 142:23:42. Sirius and Rigel; 219, 166, 313. Ullage is none. Notes are: 1, burn SPS docked; PTC REFSMMAT; LM weight, 36287, which is 30 pounds heavier than we had this morning.
CC: Roger. We'11 take a look at that, and the DELTA-Vy is minus 0118.9.
LMP: Minus. Roger; minus 0118.9.
CC: That's affirmative. Yeah.
LMP: Is that because we took the film over there?
CC: S_M again, Charlie.
LMP: I said we took all that film over there, maybe that's the 30 pounds.
CC: Affirmative, that's where it came from.
CC: And, 16, we still have this note to go on the Sun wheel.
CC: I need Charlie, 16.
CC: 16, your rates are okay, any time you want to go in~_o PTC.
CMP: Okay, Peve. Thank you.
CC: 16_, Or_'_IBravo, and then we'11 take care of the antennas.
CMP: OMNI Bravo, Houston.
CC: Okay, just a last few words here. We don't have anything for you except one note to Ken. Earlier you asked about whether or not the pad we read you contained the correct bias for the EMS; we told you it did, and we've looked at it a little more now, and actually it turns out it did not. The bias on that one was less than a foot per second, I guess. In the future, we will include that bias in the pads.
CDR: Okay, thank you now.
CC: Roger_ and we're ready to copy any time you can give us the onboard read-outs and get into the Flight Plan here at about 37.
CDR: Roger
CDR: Okay, Houston. BAT C is 37; PYRO BAT A is 37; PYRO BAT B, 37.
CDR: RCS A is reading 87; RCS B, 92; RCS C, 93; RCS D_ 96. Is that what you wanted, the quantity of the RCS?
CC: That's affirmative. And we copied 37, 37, 37, 87, 92, 93, and 96.
CDR: That's - that's correct, and MAIN BUS - BUS A is reading 29 plus volts.
CC: Ken, for your information, the PTC looks beautiful; in fact, it was so good, it took some of us quite a whiSe to realize you were in a PTC.
CMP: Yeah, and my attitude hold looks a lot like that too.
CMP: All in the technique for the way you hit PROCEED.
CC: Roger; honest (laughter).
CDR: Houston, let me read you this cryo tank configura- tion, and you tell me if that's what you want for the sleeo period.
CC: Okay. Go ahead, 16; we're - -
CDR: ... over_
CC: Go ahead, 16; we're ready to copy the cryo configuration.
CDR: Okay. H 2 HEATERS are - 1 and 2 are in AUTO. 02 HEATERS 1 and 2 are OFF, 3 is in AUTO. H 2 FANS 1 - 1 and 2 are OFF, and 3 is in AUTO.
CC: 16, the H2 tank 3 FAN should be OFF.
CDR: Okay. H2 tank 3 OFF.
CDR: And, Houston, for your information, the LM/CM DELTA-P gage has not moved since we equalized the two vehicles.
CC: Roger. Understand, 16.
CC: And, 16, would you verify optics power OFF?
CDR: No, sir; we aren't ready to turn it off yet.
CC: Hello, 16. Houston.
CDR: Are you ready for a VERB 74?
CC: Roger. We're standing by. Go ahead.
CDR: What do you do on the graveyard shift, Hank?
CC: Oh, that's lots of fun. Get to watch y'all snooze.
CDR: Okay. DIRECT 02's on, the cabin's coming up now.
CC: E-MOD complete, 16.
CDR: Okay, Houston. DIRECT 02 is off.
CC: Hello_ Casper. Go ahead.
CC: Casper, Houston. Go ahead.
CC: Casper, Houston. If you're transmitting, you're way down in the mud. I can't read you.
CC: Okay. Much better now, Ken.
CMP: Okay. I say - I got a film status report for you. And I'd like to ask you a question about the optics. I'd like to stow the optics instead of leaving them up, _lless the temperatures are gonna get too high. And the reason for this is that every time we run around past the Sun, it's like throwing a spotlight inside.
CC: Okay, Ken, go ahead with your film status, and we're looking at that stowing the optics.
CMP: Okay, the _gazine 00 reads 26, magazine November Novel)er is either 33 or 34, depending on how _ou look at it. We finished up the 16-millimeter mag on Alfa Alfa by taking some pictures of the - part of the LM paint that we think is shredding. Maga- zine ()scar and November have been used just for the targeted pictures - no extras. And I guess that's - We didn't take any other original pictures today except for the AA frames on the I_. Tomorrow we'11 try to get some interior photography.
CC: Okay. Copy 26 frames on Oscar Oscar. The November November report we got last night was 33 frames. You didn't use any of it today?
CMP: Well, Just for that UV. So whatever it was last night, it must be one more.
CC: Okay. 34.
CC: And, Ken, it's okay to stow the optics.
CMP: Okay, Henry, thank you. And I'd like to go ahead and take the voice comm down before I turn the optics power off. I wanted to try to take one last look and see if I can pick up one of the planets as we turn around, and I'd like to go ahead and knock off the voice.
CC: Okay, Ken, get the voice down and have a good night.
CMP: Okay, Henry. See you in the morning. Good night, sir.
CC: Hello, Casper, go ahead.
