LMP: Houston, Apollo 11. We've got the continent of Africa ... facing toward us right now, and of course, everything's getting smaller and smaller as time goes on. The Mediterranean is completely clear. The Sun looks like it's about to set around Madagascar. The equatorial belt of Africa stands out quite clearly. We're seeing the dark green or a muddy colored green, compared to the sandier colors in the southern tip of Africa and, of course, the Sahara northern coast of Africa. There's a rather remarkable cloud that appears in the vicinity of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It's just about to go into the sunset now. It is casting quite a large shadow. It's isolated. There don't seem to be any other clouds ... the band of clouds near the tropical conversions clouds down around the equator clearly separate the clockwise and the counterclockwise cloud formations. Over.
CC: Roger, 11. We copy your word description on that. I understand you can see a shadow being cast by that cloud over between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Any estimate on how long that shadow would be? Over.
LMP: It looks like it's a shadow. Coming around to - back that way - -
CC: We're getting a lot of background noise now, also. If you will stand by a minute or so until we roll a little further in PTC, I think things will get better.
LMP: Okay. ItVs coming around to the number 1 window. We'11 get you ...
CC: Roger, we're hearing you.
CC: 11, this is Houston. The noise on the COMM seems to have quieted down now. I guess that we've rotated a new antenna into view and probably also the Earth out of view in your window. Over.
LMP: Okay. It looks as though the length of the shadow of that cloud is about the s_mle as the width oF th_' l'er:;i_m Gulf'.
CC: Okay. We copy the width of the Persian Gulf, and I guess that all I can give you firsthand is a a single isolated data point, and that is that it was clear here in Houston this m_rning. That's a pretty localized observation. As a result of your waste-water dump, it looks like the PTC mode has been disturbed somewhat. We're showing you about 20 degrees out in pitch right now and about 6 degrees in yaw, which is sig- nificantly greater, about twice as much - a little more than twi_'e as much as the deviation you had prior to the waste-water d_ap. We' re watching it down here, though, and we'11 let you know if we think any corrective action is required. Over.
LMP: Okay. Maybe we ought to - next time split that in half, and put half of it on one side and half on the other or something like that.
CC: Yes. We could do that. We were actually pretty interested in seeing what the effect on i"['C would be of the waste-water dump. We don't re- call ever having performed a waste-water d_np during PTC on previous missions. Over.
LMP: Well, now we know.
LMP: Houston, Apollo 11. I am looking at that cloud now around Pakistan through the sextant, and it appears to be one single cell in the latter stages of development. There is a smaller, more isolated one - -
CC: Apollo Il, this is Houston. We lost you down in the noise on the COMM link here about the time you were describing the single-cell cloud formation over Afghanistan-Pakistan area through the sextant. Over.
LMP: Roger. It came through a lot clearer through the sextant than with the monocular, and you could definitely tell it was one single cell in the latter stages of development. It must have gone up to over 50 000 feet, though. The eastern Mediterranean is phenomenally clear. You can see all the lakes; the Dead Sea stood out quite well. Over.
CC: Roger. What appears to be the limit of reso- lution through that sextant from your current position? Over.
LMP: Well, I can't See it right now. It's out- side the field of view.
LMP: And, I don't know _ow you'd really describe the limit of resolution. I will think about that a little.
CC: Okay. I guess the smallest object that you could pick out looking through it would give us a pretty good hack.
LMP: Well, you can see the Nile River going almost up to itssource. The lake is obscured by clouds, but you can trace it all the way on up.
LMP: I guess that is do_m though, isn't it?
CC: Roger. We have been working under the assump- tion that it would take about an hour for the interference from a waste-water dump to dissi- pate to the point where you could reasonably take star sightings for platform alignment navigation or something of this sort. If you have a spare minute or two, could you comment on the observation condition, now? Over,
CMP: Yes. Stand by one, Bruce.
CMP: My guess would be the telescope's probably pretty useless, but you can differentiate in the sextant between water droplets and stars by the difference in their motions.
CC: Okay, Mike. I guess that we've still got - what you are saying is that we've still got a lot of water droplets visible, but you can pick them out and distinguish them in the sextant, then.
CMP: Right. I think so. Buzz is looking through it now. Just a second.
CC: Houston, Apollo 11. It looks like at this time the sextant would be quite usable for any align- ment. There's actually very few ... verticals.
CC: Roger, Buzz. How about the telescope? Is it useful now?
CC: Well, it's not quite as useful; it never sepm_ to be. Depending on the position of the Sun, band it's got that that seems to go across the center. I don't think it's because of the waste- water particles that it would lack its effective- ness. Over.
CC: Roger. What - Is this band something that's deposited on the outside of the optics? Over.
LMP: No. I see the reflection from-the Sun.
CMP: The Sun bounces off the LM structure. With the LM attached, that telescope is just about use- less. Those star charts that MPAD provided us, I think, would be most useful if we had to use the - if for some reason we had to mark through the telescope. We could use those as a guide for what we're looking at and say, "Well, that bright blob over there has got to be that star because that's the position we're in." But so far, we've not been able to pick out any decent star patterns while docked with the I_M using the telescope.
LMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Houston, Over.
LMP: Apollo 11.
CC: Go ahead, Apollo 1!.
CC: ApolLo 11, this is Houston. Oo ahead - -
LMP: - - How do your read? Over.
LMP: Roger. You're coming back a little scratchy. It,looks like our 02 flow transducer's gotten a good bit worse. I just looked at it at the last water accumulator cycling, and it Just barely registered - barely crept up above 0.2. Over.
CC: 11, this is Houston. At the time of your cyclic accumulator stroking, we were on low-bit-rate data, and consequently not receiving the 02 flow parameter. We expect that what you're seeing is probably nominal. That is, it's probably what we would expect from a transducer that's malfunctioning probably in this fashion, and it's just going to keep on getting worse like that. Nothing to worry about. We'11 monitor things on the ground here. Over.
LMP: Okay. It does look like it's gradually degrad- ing to about zilch.
CC: Apollo 11 CDR, this is Houston. Radio check. Over.
CDR: Roger, Houston. CDR. Loud and clear.
CC: Roger. We're reading you the same. Out.
CDR: And would you check with FAO and see where that errata sheet is? We haven't been able to locate that.
CC: Roger. I understand it's supposed to be the back page in Buzz's operational checklist.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Did you find it? Over.
LMP: Roger. We found it.
CC: Roger. And I see you're in P00. If you can give us ACCEPT, we'11 upiink a new state vector to you and update the CMC clock. 0_er.
UNKNOWN: 11, this is Houston. We're through with the up- link. You can go back to BLOCK.
LMP: Roger. Back to BLOCK.
CDR: Apollo 11, this is Houston. We woudd like to terminate the charge on battery B at GET of 51 30. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. We would like to terminate charging battery Bravo at 51 30 GET. Over.
LMP: Roger. Terminate charging battery Bravo 51 30.
CC: 11, this is Houston. We show you terminating battery B charge. Over.
CDR: Go ahead, Houston. Apollo 11.
CC: Roger, 11. We show you terminating battery B charge at about 51 hours 30 minutes. Over.
CC: Roger. Out. 34/[
LMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Would you lik_, to have both oxygen and hydrogen purge on? Over.
CC: 11, this is Houston. Say again. Roth what on? Over.
LMP: On the fuel cell purge: would you like to see both oxygen and hydrogen? Over.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Affirmative. We request hydrogen and an oxygen fuel cell pu_'ge. Over.
LMP: Okay. Any preference which first?
CC: Negative. As long as you've got the H 2 purge line heaters on.
LMP: Okay. I'11 go get - Go ahead with the hydrogen then.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Go ahead.
CMP: Roger. You copy my NOUN 93? affirmative.
CC: That's We've got it.
CMP: Okay. I am going to go ahead and thrust then. Triangle difference is 0.01, but it's sort of difficult at three-tenths rate. I'm required to use medium speed unresolved, and it's difficult to hold the star centered long enough to get a decent mark on it.
CC: Roger. We copy. It looks okay to us.
CC: Roger. I've got the morning news here if you'l'e interested. Over.
CMP: Yes, we sure are. We're ready to copy and com- ment. Isn't that 2:30 there?
CC: Okay. Here we go. The interest in the Flight of Apollo 11 continues at a high level but a compet- ing interest in the Houston area is the easing of watering rules. Mayor Louie Welch promises a lifting of lawn-watering restrictions if the rains continue. Friday is partly cloudy, and there is a 30-percent chance of thunderstorms in the the afternoon. In Washington, D.C., Senate, Finance Committee approved extension of the in- come tax surtax, but a Senate vote on the bill - -
CMP: You cut out, Houston. You cut out.
CC: Roger. Where do you hold me cutting out? Over.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. How do you read now? Over.
CMP: Loud and clear, Houston. Go ahead.
CMP: Start after the rains in Houston.
CC: Roger. In Washington, tile Senate Fin:race Com- mittee has approved extension of the income tax surtax, but a Senate vote on the bill currently seemed remote. In ;ustin, State Representative Ray Lemmon of Houston has been nominabed as the National Director of the American Society for Oceanography. Lemmon has proposed a study of the possibility of establishing an institute of oceanography in Texas. This would be the first such institute on the western Gulf of Mexico. of 88 and a low of 72, has noted "snowfall: none." From St. Petersburg, Florida, comes a radio report from the Norwegian explorer, Thor Heyerdahl, which said that the crew of his papyrus boat, the Ra, will sail into Bridgetown, Barbados, despite damage from heavy seas. The crew, how- ever, will sleep on an escort vessel. Norman Baker, navigator of the expedition, said the crew was aboard the Ra today repairing damage from storms this past week, which split the footing of the mast. Part of the broken mast was jet- tisoned overboard, and the vessel was 725 miles east of the Barbados. "It is possible but un- comfortable to sleep aboard the Ra," Baker said in the radio report. "But the purpose of our voyage is not a test of strength or human en- durance.'' That is the reason why the crew was spending nights aboard the escort vessel Shenan- doah, which rendezvoused with the Ra on Tuesday.
CC: In sports, the Houston Oilers are showing plenty of enthusiasm in their early preseason workouts at Kerrville, and Coach Wally Lemm says he is impressed with the fine group of rookies. Na- tional League baseball yesterday, Thursday: St. Louis 11, Philadelphia 3; Montreal 5, over Pittsburg 4; Atlanta 12, Cincinnati 2; San Fransciso 14, and Los Angeles 13. American League: we have Baltimore 3, over Cleveland 2; Detroit 4 to Washington's 3; Minnesota 8 to Chicago 5. Boston at New York was rained out. And in Corby, England, an Irishman, John Coyle has won the world's porridge eating champio:IshiF by consuming 23 bowls of instant oatmeal in a 10-minute time limit from a field of 35 other competitors. Over.
CMP: Roger. I assume Houston didn't play yesterday.
CMP: I'd like to enter Aldrin in the oatmeal eating contest next time.
CC: Is he pretty good at that?
CMP: He's doing his share up here.
CC: Let's see. You all just finished a m_ al not long ago, too, didn'b you?
UNKNOWN: I'm still eating.
CC: Okay. Does that - that - -
CC: Roger. Are you having ally difficulties with gas in the food bags like tile 10 crew reported?
CMP: Well, that's intermittently affirmative, Bruce. We have these two hydrogen filters, which work fine as long as you don't hook them up to a food bag. But the entry way into the food bag has enough back pressure to cause the - the filters to start losing their efficiency. A couple of times, I've been tempted to go through that dry- out procedure, but we found that simply by leav- ing the filters alone for a couple of hours, their efficiency seems to be restored.
CMP: Their efficiency ranges anywhere from darn near perfect to terrible just depending on the in- dividual characteristics of the food bags we're putting through them. Some of the food bags are so crimped near the entry-way that there's no way we can work them loose to prevent back pres- sure.
CDR: Hello, Houston. Go ahead.
CC: Roger, 11 As you've probably noticed, your coning angle in PTC mode is increased substan- tially as a result of the waste water dump, the fuel cell purge, and a natural coupling, so it looks like we are going to have to terminate PTC here in a little while. And we'd like Lo get your feeling as to whether you're still an- ticipating trying to send back TV signals from inside the LM; and if so, we'11 try tc provide an attitude that you can hold that'11 give us high gain antenna lock on the Earth during the TV and LM activation period. Over.
CDR: Yes, we're still planning that activity if the cord lengths work out, all right, and v e'11 ac- cept those attitudes that you work up for us.
CC: This is Houston. Roger. Out. $_ there any way that we could get partial Sun in o_e of the two LM front windows?
UNKNOWN: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.
UNKNOWN: Roger. We have a TV attitude for you if you're r_ady to copy.
UNKNOWN: Go ahead. Ready to copy.
UNKNOWN: Okay. We recommend stopping PFC at GET of 54 45 00, and this should put you at just about the right roll angle. The attitude we reconmlet_.d l_ roll 263, pitch 090, yaw 000. This gives you the Earth out of window number 1 in the command module and places the high gain antenna in the QSM window for TV at your convenience. You will also have the Sun shining in - or shining at the hatch on the LM, and if you take down the window _hades you should get some sunlight in. We're _,ecommending wide deadband. Over.
CMP: Roger. Thank you, Houston. We'11 look at that.
UNKNOWN: Out. nO a2gle, we're not going to be anywhere near zero degrees yaw. Do you want us to just stop and try _ntil we Find ourselves in and then VERB 49 the three angles you gave us?

CMP: Okay. Let me check it again. It was about 155.
CMP: I read it 158 right now, Charlie.
CC: Roger. Thank you much.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. We're stopping PTC at 263 ... 0.
CC: 11, Houston. You're about one-by on this transmission. Say again. Over.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Do you read?
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. How do you read on the high gain?
CC: 11, how do you read me? Over.
CDR: Read you loud and clear, Charlie. We just switched to HIGH GAIN, and we stopped PTC at roll 263, pitch 90, yaw 0. How do you read?
CC: Roger, Mike. You're five-by now on the high gain. We're right between the OMNI antennas and pretty horrible COMM on the OMNI's. We _ot you five-by on the high gain, and we copy the PTC stoppage. Over.
UNKNOWN: Houston, we're going to open the DIRECT 0,_ valve and start pumping up the cabin.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We're going to h_nd over to Goldstone for up]ink in about 2 milutes. We might have a momentary dropout of CONF4. Over. background? That's 02 FLOW HIGH coming through this amplifier.
CC: Roffc. r'. Copy.
CMP: That photoelectric cell is a good device. It's worked very well.
CC: 11, Houston. Say again. Over.
CMP: I say that photoelectric cell amplifier for the master alarm is a good device. It's working very well, and it's a nice pleasing tone.
CC: Roger. Copy. Thank you.
CMP: Makes you almost glad to get master alarms.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. As a matter of curiosity, our 02 flow meter is pegged FULL-SCALE HIGH.
CC: Roger, 11. We copy that here. Over.
CMP: Boy, that transducer's working somewhat.
CC: 11, Houston. We'd like to try to attempt to correlate your 02 flow in transducer with the flow valve that you've got open. How far - How far open would you say you have the REPRESS 02? 0ver_ Correction, the DIRECT 02 .
CMP: Stand by, Charlie.
CMP: Okay, Charlie. It's not open very far. It's hard to give you a good reading without shuntin_ it again, but the arrow is at about the one o'elock position. Now I reduce the flow, and I'11 let it stabilize here. Right now our onboard read_nt_ is about 0.4, and that's with the arrow in the 02 valve at the two o'clock position. Would you rather have comparisons of 02 flow readings or would you rather have valve position c_mparisons?
CC: EECOM_4's say they'd 1Lke to look at valve positions. Over. 0.3 pound per hour, and our cabin pressure is about 54; and I'11 close the valve momentarily and then open it again to this position and tell you how much travel is required.
CMP: It's about 30 degrees of travel, Charlie, from the closed position, which is with the arrow pointing at about three to three-thirty, four o'clock.
CMP: Our flow is stabilized now at 0.6.
CC: Roger. We copy. We're reading the same.
CMP: Yes, open it back to the one o'clock position.
CMP: Is that enough different positions, or you want more, Charlie?
CC: Mike, that's good - good enough. We're satisfied now. Over.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. We've terminated direct 02, our cabin pressure is 57, and, as a matter of curiosity, when we turn the DIRECT 02 valve OFF, we get a master alarm just like they did ia the spacecraft testing.
CC: 11, Houston, we have a little update for you. When you go into the LM, we'd like you to _stow and bring back to the command module the following items. Over.
CC: Roger. We'd like you to pick up the - out of the flight data file, the surface checklist, the mission rules NO-GO card, the DPS, APS, RCS limit cue card. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. The reason we wanted you to bring those three items back, we'11 have some updates for you, for those three. Over.
CMP: Roger. We figured you would.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We're getting the TV at Goldstone. We're not quite configured here at Houston for the transmission. We'11 be up in a couple of minutes. Over.
CMP: Roger. This is just for free. _lis isn't what we had in mind.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. It's a pretty good show here. It looks like you _]most got the probe out.
CMP: Yes, it's loose now.
CDR: Can you see that?
CC: Roger, Nell. It's really good.
CDR: Not much light up in that area, but apparently the TV set's able to pick it up.
CC: There are some bright spots shining on the probe. Apparently Sun shafting on it that just gets just about enough for us to make it out. Over. tunnel
CDR: I think those are the lights.
CC: Oh, Okay. You're right.
CDR: Okay. It's loose now. Coming down.
CC: Looks like it's a little bit easier than doing that in the chamber.
CDR: You bet. This is the only way ...
CMP: You have to take it easy.
CDR: It's pretty massive, but it goes where you direct it.
CC: 11, Houston. That's a beautiful picture now, we've got. We're looking at a 12-second delay. To us you are just bringing it down by the optics now.
CDR: Mike must have done a smooth job in that docking. There isn't a dent or a mark on the probe.
CC: Roger_
CC: We're really getting a great picture here, 11. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. With a 12-foot cable, we estimate you should have about 5 to 6 feet excess when you get the camera into the LM. Over.
CC: We can see the probe now. Correction, the drogue.
CDR: Okay. Drogue removal's coming next.
CC: Roger. As we suspected.
CC: 11, Houston. Now it's a good view of the storage area under the couch.
CC: 11, Houston. Looks like you're pretty crowded in there with that drogue. Over.
CMP: This TV cable is getting in the way.
CC: We see lots of arms.
LMP: The only problem, Charlie, is these TV stage- hands don't know where they stand. \
CC: Well, you got to really have a union card, there. We can't really complain too much, I guess.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Do you have a little w?_ j_ dot in the bottom of your monitor - TV monitor? Over.
LMP: Roger. We do.
CC: Roger. I guess part of the camera's been burnt out down there. These are really beautiful pic- tures now, Buzz. Over. Real clear.
LMP: Okay. We might have got just a little bit of Sun in there. Is it just one small white dot?
CMP: We went up in the tunnel checking the roll angle, Charlie, and it's 2.05 degrees.
CC: Roger. Copy. 2.05 on the roll CAL.
CMP: And that's a plus.
CC: Roger. Plus.
CC: 11, Houston. The tunnel looks pretty clear to us. Somebody going up there now. Over.
CDR: It's Mike checking his connectors up there now.
CC: 11, Houston. The lighting up in there looks very good to us at this time. Over.
CDR: I think that's mostly the camera. It - it's subdued to say the least.
CC: Roger. It's pretty - It's gathering pretty well to us. We see everything quite clearly up in there.
CMP: Well, the docking latches look good today just like they did yesterday. Everything up in there looks just fine.
CC: That sounds fine to us. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. We can even read the decals up there on the LM hatch.
LMP: Well, let me zoom it up and see how much you can read.
CC: We can see the LM umbilical connection quite well there, Buzz. We see you zooming in on one of the decals now. It's, "To reset, unlatch handle; latch behind grip and pull back two full strokes." That's about all we can make out.
LMP: Hey, you get an A-plus.
CC: Thank you very much, sir. At least I passed my eye test.
LMP: I'm standing 6 feet from it, Charlie, and you can read it better than I can. There's some- thing wrong with the system.
CC: That's a real good view of the LM hatch handle there, 11. 0ver.
CDR: Looks like we'11 be ready to go into the LM early if that's okay with you all down there.
CC: Roger. It's fine with us, Nell. Go ahead any- time you wish. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. The white spot you see on your monitor, our TV people say it is a burn spot; but they expect it to dissipate after a couple of hours. Over. you.
LMP: Roger. Thank
CMP: Okay, the dump valve is actuated.
CC: Roger. Copy, 11. We see that very clearly. Is that you, Buzz, with your hand on it?
CC: 11, Houston. We're really amazed at the quality of the picture ,,p in the tunnel. It's really superb. Over.
CC: It is, considering the amount of light up in there.
CMP: Roger. We're about to open our hatch now.
CMP: Roger. There's that same guy that, when you open up the door, why, he's waiting there for you, and he turns the lights on.
CC: How about that. Just like the refrigerator.
CC: Buzz, the view in through your - by your right - left shoulder there is so good we can see the ascent engine cover, the Velcro on it, and that's about all we can make out right now.
CC: Now we can see the helmet stowage bag - -
LMP: We don't see anything loose up there.
CC: Well, great. Looks good to us. We see the helmet storage bag.
CC: Hello, 11. Houston. We got a view of the PLSS there, off the right of our screen.
CC: 11, Houston. Buzz, you already in? Over.
LMP: Roger. I'm halfway in, hanging out. Start turning around, I guess.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We'd like you to read out the LCG reservoir sight level. Over.
CC: 11, we have a good view of the window there. It looks like the Sun's finally coming through the shade.
LMP: Yes, I'm afraid it's - We're just about plus Z toward the Sun.
CC: That's affirmative. This attitude put both win- dows right toward the Sun - or the LM. Over.
LMP: Well, that may be good in some respects, but -
CC: We had a view, Buzz, of the utility light cord ....
LMP: Now let me show you a view looking the other way.
CC: Roger. And we see right now the utility light or either the floodliMht up there.
CC: I think now I see the utility light still in the stowage bag. Hey, that's a great shot right there. We see you in there. Guess that's Nell and Mike. Better be, anyway.
CC: We see you waving.
CC: 11, Houston. That's really a beautiful shot. signal that just came from the CMP.
LMP: Just saying hello. On the LCG sight ga_e, you got about - oh, it looks like the white mark that's in the plum_er is about a quarter to three-eighths inch out into the _reen away from the red. Is that what yom'd i_ike to see? Over.
CC: Stand by. Roger, Buzz. That looks _ood to um. Thank you much.
LMP: It is the white index, is it not, that you're interested in comparing whether it's in the red or green?
CC: Stand bY. That's affirmative, Buzz. It looks good. That's a good reading for us. Over.
CC: We had a shot moment - a moment ago oC the su_t disconnect valve.
CC: I'11 open up the windows and see what the light- ing condition's going to be like.
CC: 11, Houston. That's a real good view we have of the AOT. You're back now, Buzz, and notice you're taking down one of the window shades. Over. Pa_e 159
CC: The light is super].
LMP: How's the Sun coming in? How's the Sun coming in from this direction going to affect what you can see?
CC: It made it really super. The 15_hting is excellent in the - in the LM ri_ht now. We can make out the AOT, the ISA, and _he left-hand window - there's a little glare off of that, but the LMP side the - with the shade down it's really excellent. Over.
LMP: Well, let's - I'm turned around, why I took the shade off my side first.
CC: Roger. We copy. The light level for the TV is really excellent. Over.
CDR: Yes, the lighting in the 124 is very nice now, just like completely daylight; and everything is visible. A good bit lighter than the tunnel was earlier.
CC: Roger. We got a good view now, Neil, of the DEDA; and also Buzz's ACA.
LMP: Hey, I'm pointing it at the front hatch now. Everything seems to be in place down there.
CC: Roger, we got the dump valves in view. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. We see you removing the ISA now, folding it up, putting it up on the AOT. The instrument panels are coming into view behind.
LMP: Yes, I think it'd probably be best, since we've done SPS burn, to put it back over the instrument panel instead of putting it up over the PLSS on the recharge station. Would you care to comment on that one? We could do either just as easily.
CC: Stand by. We'11 have an answer for you momentarily.
CC: 11, Houston. That's really a super shot of the main display.
LMP: The vehicle is surprisingly free of any debris floating around. It's very clean.
CC: 11, Houston. It's pretty hard to describe this view. It's really - really _reat.
LMP: Now you know how we _'eel.
LMP: Okay. Nell's OPS is about 57, 5800.
LMP: And mine's about 5800, also.
CC: 11, Houston. That's a good shot of Neil's PLSS, there. Over.
LMP: No, that's mine.
CC: 11, Houston. That moment - a moment a_o, we had a good shot of your PLSS, Buzz, and the two he_met stowage bags. Down behind your ]_eFt shoulder, Buzz, we have the - the DSKY and the ACA.
LMP: We're going to go ahead and take all the Moon data on back into the command module, Charlie.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Buzz, it appears that you're intending to put on the Sun filter and view the Sun through the AOT. Over.
LMP: Yes, unfortunately it looks like it's down a little bit more towards ... than I can be able to see in the AOT.
UNKNOWN: We _ot a beautiful view of the s_de oF t}lc_com- mand module out of the AOT look_nf_ _n th_ ]_f't rear detent.
LMP: I can see the hatch and all the - all the EVA handrails. First time we've seen the silvery outside of the command module.
LMP: I can read the letter_ on the hatch cover. It's a boost cover release; and the big yellow arrow that points toward the opening - place where the tool B goes.
CC: Roger. Great shot now back down into the -
CMP: And left on the - -
CC: Go ahead, Buzz. Over.
CC: I was just saying we got a _reat silot lookin_ back into the command module.
LMP: Okay. And the left detent, I can see the AO - or the rendezvous radar, and I move to the for- ward detent and that's about all I've got. I'm looking eyeball to eyeball.
LMP: Charlie, is there any concern about the duration that we ought to have the window shades open?
CC: We don't have - We don't have any circulation in here, and it might get a little on the warm side.
CMP: We'11 - We'11 put up a couple of hoses in the command module here and get a little circulation going.
CC: Sounds like a good idea. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. As far as the window shades go in this LM, there's nothing except for crew comfort. I don't think we've got any systems problem. Be sure to put them back up when you egress. Over.
LMP: That we will do.
LMP: Charlie, I'11 give you a view out of the over- head window, back looking at the command module right-hand rendezvous window.
CC: Well, we see it now. Thanks a lot, Buzz. That's a good view through the overhead.
LMP: One washer on -
LMP: One washer's on by the overhead.
CC: There we go. We got it now.
LMP: There wasn't very much debris in the commsnd module or the LM. We found very few loose par- ticles of bolts, nuts, and screws and lint and things. Very few in each spacecraft. They were very clean.
CC: 11, Houston. We have a good view out off the though. Over.
LMP: Charlie, can you see Mike's two eyeballs staring out through the rendezvous window?
CC: 11, Houston. Stand by. We haven't picked him up yet.
LMP: You are looking through a lot of layers of glass.
CC: 11, Houston. We had a - -
LMP: ... on my monitor.
CC: We had a slight glimpse of Mike in the rendezvous window at that time. It's pretty murky look_n_ into there, though.
LMP: Okay. tIere he is_ I've _ot him. I'w_ _ol, him on the monitor now.
CC: Okay. We see him staring back at us now. Hello, in there.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Our recommendation for the ISA is to stow it back over the instrument panel. Over.
LMP: Roger. Will do.
CC: 11, Houston. We can make out the markings on the panel. We read SYSTEM A ASCENT FUEL, ASCENT OXIDIZER. Quad 1, quad 4. The - It's really unbelievable, the definition we're getting down here off that little camera. Over.
CC: We can even see the barber pole oF the talkbacks.
CC: We can read the markings on the ir,struments for the glycol pressure, quantity, PCC 2. You can even read the scale on the eight ball. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. We see the cross-feed barber pole, and we have the Velcro patches back up to the RCS systems now. We can see the markings on the meters, green and red bands, in limits.
CC: We see you raised the cover on the abort stage. We don't recommend that.
LMP: Yes. We're going to tape that one over.
LMP: We're going to tape that one over.
LMP: The restraints in here do a pretty good job of pulling my pants down.
CC: Roger. We haven't quite got that before the 50 000 000 TV audience, yet.
CC: 11, Houston. That's a good view of the eight ball. We see - You can even read the OFF fla_, there.
CC: You can see the signal strength meter for the radar, read the numbers on it.
LMP: Houston, did you want us to test the cameras in the LM and - I was wondering about that. I saw it in the flight plan, but I'm Just wondering if you want to do that on CSM power, or do you want us to take both of the 16mm cameras back in the CSM and test them there? Over.
CC: Stand by, Buzz.
LMP: As an alternative to that, why, we could wait LOI day and do it then when we transfer over to LM power.
CC: Roger. Stand by. We'11 have an aaswer.
CC: 11, Houston. On that TV, our commentary - The monitor I was looking at was delayed about 12 seconds, 12 to 15 seconds while it went through our color converter. It was probably - You thought I was crazy, but we were looking at it 15 seconds after you broadcast it. 11, Houston - -
LMP: We understood that, C_arlie.
CC: Okay. On the LM cameras, we'd like you to do it on LOI day with the LM power. Over.
LMP: Okay. That's what we'11 do.
LMP: Houston, we're showing you something that came out of the Commander's checklist stowage packet. It's got a 16-millimeter camera in it, and it's got this little cylinder; and I guess - I don't understand what it is. Maybe you can tell us.
CC: Roger. Stand by. We can't figure it out either.
LMP: It's got an arrow on the back, and it says "turn," but I'm afraid to turn it.
CC: 11, your friendly geologist says it's the camera cank- crank, excuse me, for the 16-sequence camera if it jams. Over.
LMP: Ail very well. Thank you.
LMP: There's that word again. The ancillary stowage container.
CC: The shades couldn't quite hack it, there, t_zz. Over.
CMP: Houston, 11. Are you still getting high bit rate off the OMNI's at this distance?
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. About 50 percent of the time, we're getting high bit rate off the OMNI's when you're in PTC. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Neil, at this attitude you look like you're about 12 feet long.
CDR: It seems like I always find myself upside-down in whatever I_m doing around here.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Could you give us a few com- ments on your crew comfort with the CSM hoses moving the air around? Over.
LMP: Well, it's picking up a little bit on circulation in here.
CC: What do you estimate the temperature is, Buzz? Over.
LMP: Oh, I'd say maybe 73, 75.
LMP: It's hard to tell at this density and pressure of gas, but comfort level is about the - about the same as the command module.
CC: You probably - -
LMP: It was a little warmer or stuffier when we first got in, but it seems to be improving.
CC: Houston copies. Out.
LMP: You may be able to see some - -
LMP: - - some particles jumping around on your screen. That's just dust particles that are being illumi- nated by Sun shafting in the window.
CC: Roger. They're very clear now. Over. And that's a good view of Neil's - correction, of Buzz's ci_'- cuit breaker panel, there.
UNKNOWN: I can just barely see the handrail on the front porch from the position on the right-hand window.
CC: 11, Houston. Our view of the Panel 11 is - gets brighter, then darker. Are you changing the f-stop at all? Over.
LMP: No, what's happening is, we get pretty close to the window now and then, and it drives the automatic light control into the stop, I think.
CC: I think that's right.
LMP: Yes, I had the switch on OUTSIDE while I was going through the overhead window. That may be what's contributing to some of it.
CC: 11, Houston. We seem to be picking up a few more dust particles now. We see them quite clearly in the screen now. Over.
LMP: Yes, I'm choking on one every so often.
CC: 11, Houston. Your show is going out to the U.S. now. We're about to get the satellite up. It'11 be transmitted to some other countries after that. Over.
LMP: Roger. I'm checking out this window bracket where I'11 be puttinM it for the EVA pictures of Neil going down the ladder.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We keep marveling about the color and the clarity of the picture. It's really difficult to describe. It's - It's just perfect. Over.
CC: And, 11, it doesn't look llke you're having too much trouble with that bracket up there, Buzz.
LMP: I'11 tell you, those new knobs really make it easy to twist the thing and get it cinched down quite tight.
CC: 11, Houston. Buzz, how does the alignment look, there?
LMP: It looks pretty good, as well as I can tell without the gear extended. I can't get a real definitive answer, but you couldn't fix it any place to see much more out of the window without hand-holding it for the whole time.
CC: Roger. Looks like to us it's going to work real well.
LMP: Give it enough room to - Yes, I think so.
CC: Buzz, we see you putting your window guard in place there, and back upto the ISA now.
LMP: Houston_ ask FAO if the 90-degree bracket isn't stowed in the Commander's stowage assembly.
CC: 11, Houston. Buzz, you still looking for that 90-degree bracket? Over.
CDR: Yes, he is looking for it now.
CC: Roger. We'11 have a word for you in just a moment.
CDR: Our monitor shows pretty good, clear pictures from this angle. I already found the 90-degree bracket.
CC: Roger, Neil. It's really a super picture. We've got the ACA, your ACA, the picture of the throttle, the 90-degree bracket. We see your handles, and now over to the bracket.
LMP: That's about the position we'11 be putting the camera in after the initial descent on the ladder, and it'11 be taken 1 frame a second for most of the EVA.
CC: Houston copies. Out. That's a rea] Mood view of that camera.
LMP: Our monitor is a little bit wavy, so it's hard for us to tell when we're - when we've got a steady picture for you.
CC: 11, we have no complaints at all. We don't see that waviness on our picture. It's just really great. Over.
LMP: Do the edges of the window look like straight lines to you?
LMP: Okay. They don't in our monitor, and that leads us to make some corrections to the camera, which probably aren't required sometimes.
CC: Buzz, we have no complaints at ali. It's a magnificent picture.
CC: What was that, Buzz, you're chasing now?
CDR: That was - That was me picking up some particles of paint that were floating through the air in front of the camera, there.
CC: Roger, Nell. We got it. It appears to us that Neil's about to check the Velcro mat, there.
CC: Okay, Buzz. We see the card up now.
LMP: Okay. For those of you that don't know, this is where we log most of our data for each of the LM maneuvers, and we have another card like this that the timeline book that is laid down on the table in front of the data display keyboard; and it's on this timeline that we have all our pro- cedures. But we obviously have to hold these in place in zero g, so we make use of the Velcro patches on the back and on the table so we can attach these down here; and then we just turn the pages over when we go to new sequences in our timeline of procedures.
LMP: And we're ready to copy DOI PAD.
CC: Roger. We'11 have the FIDO's work that one up for you momentarily.
CC: 11, Houston. That was a good shot of Panel 2. Now we got Panel 3 in view with the TEMP MONITOR switch. The stabilization - station and control panel, we see now, with the MODE CONTROL switches. Now over to the rendezvous radar. Real good.
CC: 11, that's real good camera work.
LMP: That'11 be the most unusual position a cameraman's ever had, hanging by his toes from a tunnel and taking the picture upside-down.
CC: Roger. Well you're doing a super job. We got a good view of the cross pointer, tlare. Had a good view of the tape meter. 36/17
LMP: We're giving you a picture now of the floor of the cabin. I think you can see the - one of the two portable life support system backpacks here in the center, and on each side, we have the two helmet visors. I'11 remove one of them and show you a little closer view of what this looks like.
UNKNOWN: Inside the helmet visors are the EVA _loves with the blue tips. I'm about to take those out now.
CC: Roger, Buzz. That's a great shot now that we're getting of the helmet, the EVA visor, and also the -the EVA gloves in the background.
LMP: Okay. You did say this was going out now, didn't you?
CC: Standby. I think so.
CC: 11, you got a pretty big audience. It's live in the U.S. It's going live to Japan, western Europe, and much of South America. Everybody reports very good color. Appreciate the great show.
LMP: Roger. Understand. Thank you.
CC: Buzz, that was a good demonstration of your INA visor assembly. Appreciate it.
CC: Hey, I like the good view of Mr. Collins down there. We finally see him again.
CMP: Hello there, earthling.
CC: Hello there.
CC: 11, Houston. We noticed when you were scanning over Panel 2 a moment ago, 1 and 2, the two eight balls were slightly in disagreement. Control said he'd like a AGS align, there.
LMP: Yes. One of them's AGS, one of ttLem's PNCC[_. The problem is, we don't know whether to align AGS to PNGCS or PNGCS to AGS.
CC: 11, Chris said he can tell you.
LMP: We'11 cage them both.
LMP: Like old home week, Charlie, to get back in the LM again.
CC: Roger. I can imagine.
CDR: The traverse from the bottom of the LM to the aft bulkhead of the command module must be about 16, 20 feet. It's not a disorienting one at all, but it's most interesting to contemplate just pushing off from one and bounding on into the other vehicle all the way through the tunnel.
CC: Roger. Must be some experience. Is Collins going to go in and look around?
CDR: We're willing to let him go but he hasn't come up with the price of the ticket yet.
CC: Roger. I'd advise him to keep his hands off the switches.
CDR: If I can get him to keep his hands off my DSKY, it'd be a fair swap.
CC: Roger. haven't had anything to do. He won't let me touch it any more.
CC: 11, Houston. If that's not the Earth, we're in trouble.
CDR: That's the Earth, and we have a very good view of it today. There are a few more cloud bands on than yesterday when we beamed down to you, but it's a beautiful sight.
CDR: We have some horizontal banding in our TV monitor. Are we transmitting that to you, or do you have a clear picture?
CC: Neil, we have a very clear picture. The only thing that we see is a little white dot in the bottom of our screen, which is - our TV guys say is an - apparently a burned out spot in the camera, but it should come back. Over.
CDR: Roger. We have that in our monitor also.
CC: 11_ Houston. We do have three lines across our TV. I thought it was just a transmission problem, but everybody's telling me now that it's prob- ably - it's on the downlink. Over.
CDR: No, those are the same three ones that we have.
LMP: How far are - out are we now, Charlie?
CC: Stand by. Give you exact figure.
CDR: Did you notice the difference between yesterday and today? This is as large an image we can - we can give you.
CC: Roger. If you think we're smaller, you're now 177 000 miles out. Over.
CDR: That's nautical miles?
CC: That's affirmative, 11. We -
LMP: ... Hold on.
CC: 11, Houston. We see the - still see the banding along the intratropical convergence. I guess the most predominate one now is around the - up in the - around the equator or slightly north of the equator.
LMP: Yes, that's the way it looks, Charlie. Same as yesterday.
LMP: Just keep the Pacific Ocean nice and clear and calm on splash day, is all we ask.
CDR: And Charlie, I'd like to say hello to all my fellow scouts and scouters at Farragut State Park in Id_lo having a _ational Jamboree there this week; and Apollo 11 would like to send them best wishes.
CC: Thank you, Apollo 11. I'm sure that, if they didn't hear that, they'11 get the word through the news, surely appreciate that.
CC: 11, Houston. We have you - your subspacecraft point is just Off the western coast of South America directly south of about Mexico City. Over.
CDR: That - That looks like what we observe fr_n here.
CDR: And we're going to turn our TV monitor off now for a short bit while we have some other work to do. Apollo 11 signing off.
CC: Roger, 11. Thank you very much. That was one of the greatest shows we've ever seen. We sure appreciate it. Over.
CDR: It was a pleasure.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Could you give us an idea of about how long it will be before you start close - closing the LM back up? Over.
CDR: We've got a little more work to do up here, Charlie. We're going to make sure that we have everything transferred around and stowed the way we want it and try to get a little bit ahead on tomorrow's timeline. I suppose that we could be out of there in another half hour or so if it was necessary.
CC: Roger, Nell. We're not trying to push you. We're Just trying to get an idea of - about water dumps and starting up the PTC again. Take your sweet time. Over.
CDR: Okay. We'd like to get a flight plan update from you for the next couple of hours, here. When you think what the various constraints might be and what - what order you might like us to do things.
CC: Roger. Stand by. We'11 have that to you in a moment.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Mike, we'd like to go ahead and do a waste-water dump. We'd like you to dump it all the way down to zero. Over.
CMP: Roger. We copy that, Charlie.
CMP: How does that work, Charlie?
CC: 11, Houston. Did you call? Over.
CDR: Roger. Just noticed that the mast that the EVA light is on is charred brown. It looks as though it took quite a beating during launch.
CDR: The EVA light still does work.
CC: Roger. We'11 let this - the SPAN guys look at this, and we'11 be back with you with what we think. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. We were wondering, Neil, with your closing comment on the TV, if you were going to turn it off. It indicated that you might be con- sidering turning it back on. We were wondering whether we want to keep the lines up. Over.
CDR: Well, we want your recommendation on that, but I think we would just as soon, ourselves, termin- ate the TV. But if you have a commitment to keep, we'd be more than willing to turn it back on.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We'd like to terminate the TV. We don't - We think we got a really - a good tape. That hour and a half show was superb. And we'd like to pick up TV - correc- tion - PTC at about 58 hours. Over.
CDR: Roger. PTC at 58 hours.
CC: And we'11 have the remaining functions in the flight plan soon. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Our recommendations on the activities for the next hour or so, as far as flight plan goes_ are: Continue your LM familiarization as desired until about 58 hours, then ingress to the CSM, close the hatch, and establish PTC shortly thereafter. Over.
CC: And, Apollo 11, Houston. Terminate the - -
CC: - - the water dump. Over.
LMP: Okay. Water dump being terminated now.
CC: 11, Houston. Go ahead.
CMP: Roger, Houston. I'd like to do a }'52 ot_tion and tweak the platform up prior to startint_ the PTC. Over.
CC: Roger, 11. Stand by.
CC: 11, Houston. That sounds like a good idea to us. Go ahead.
CMP: Okay. And the platform's looking pretty good to me. It looks like the worst axis drift is 0.01 something degrees per hour. Is that about what you figure?
CC: 11, Roger. We've had reports all the marks have been good all the - the last couple of times you've run them. Just a moment; I'11 get you some information on the apparent drift rate.
CMP: Okay, Owen. Thank you. You got the maroons on?
CC: Say again, 11.
CMP: I say you got the maroons on now?
CC: Not permanently, Mike. Just have a stand-by here while Charlie's out checkin_ how to use that special tool on the camera. The maroon team will be on tomorrow.
CMP: Okay. Nice to hear your voice. How's every- thing going?
CC: Everything's going smoothly here. We sure enjoyed the show this afternoon, Mike.
CC: 11, Houston. We suggest you go ahead and do the P52 first, and we'11 take a look at the angles and give you some new drift rates after taking a look at them. Over.
CMP: All right. Fair enough.
CDR: Go ahead. 11, here.
CC: 11, Houston. A little information to you there, CDR. We've all taken a momentary brief respite from out work here to have some special - to have a bite of special moon cheese that is - I understand it's been sent to us directly from Wapakoneta, your own hometown. Over.
CDR: No, we can't - we can't pronounce it either. I think you'11 enjoy that. They make a fine brand of cheese.
CC: Roger, there, and I'11 polish up the grammar for the next trip.
CMP: Houston, 11. You are looking at the NOUN 93, and I'11 proceed when you copy them
CC: 11, Houston. We've got them.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11, Houston. We'd like P00 and ACCEPT. We have a DELTA-H update for you. Over. Stand
CMP: Ail right, Charlie. by one.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. POO and ACCEPT.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We got the load in. The computer's yours. Over.
CMP: Houston, 11. Roger.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We'd tike for you to stir up the CRYO's now. Over.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Roger.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 11. We're completed in the ImM. We're closing up the hatches and the and probe drogue back in.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We're standing by to watch your startup on the PTC at any time. You can start off at the VERB 49. Over.
CDR: Wilco. We're just finishing up the probe and about to close up the hatch here. We're going to be a couple of minutes late, probably, getting started in the PTC.
CC: Roger. No sweat, 11. We're standing byu Over.
