CDR-LM: Okay. Verify safety on dump valve.
CDR-LM: The head is on. Okay. Hoses, red to blue and blue to red.
LMP-LM: Going to ICS/PTT.
CMP-LM: Hi, Joe. Okay, Houston. Hadley Base here. We'11 get the cabin cleaned up a little bit, and you might want to Jot down some questions. And as we -- 70/9 Tape eat, we can maybe discuss some with you.
CC: Roger, Dave. We'11 do that and be standing by.
CDR-LM: Houston, Hadley Base here. What do you think the problem with - our H2 - our H2O SEP is?
CC: Hadley Base, Houston.
CDR-LM: Go ahead, Houston. Hadley here.
CC: Roger, troops. While you're getting squared away there, regarding your question, Dave, on the SEP i unit, we think that you had some residual condensation in your hoses. And when you stood up, it ran down into the separator and water-logged it, causing it to go off the line. It'11 drain - be draining, and we think the next time we try it out, it '11 be okay. Over.
CDR-LM: Okay. I understand. But, we haven't seen any water around lately, but there has been quite a bit of moisture on the windows. There was when we powered up; we had to bring the heaters on for a while to get the windows cleared.
CC: Roger, Dave. Understand. We think the water was condensed in the suit hoses.
LMP-LM: I think I know where we are too. If I can just look at that map.
CDR-LM: Be sure I get that all the way up.
LMP-LM: Okay. Are you ready to do a little urine transfer?
CDR-LM: Go ahead. You first.
CC: And, Hadley Base. Be advised, you're still on VOX.
CDR-LM: How about that. Are you still VOX?
CDR-LM: DOWN VOICE BACKUP?
LMP-LM: I bet we are. I Bet we're on hot mike.
CC: Dave and Jim, you're on hot mike now. But the medics are enjoying your comments.
UNKNOWN: I guess we are. I bet they are. _lmost everybody else is too. (Laughing) What did we say, Joe?
CDR: Let's see. We need the circuit breaker in too for the - -
CC: You're clean.
CDR-LM: Urine transfer.
LMP-LM: Wait.
CDR-LM: Hey, did you get the - the corem? Are we off? Are we -
LMP-LM: ... DOWN VOICE BACKUP.
CDR-LM: DOWN VOICE BACKUP. We're on hot mike.
UNKNOWN: Apparently, but, are we in DOWN VOICE BACKUP now? _
CDR: Good. Turn it OFF.
LMP-LM: Go ahead, Joe.
CC: Roger, Jim. We have a question that may bear on this minor water problem. We're wondering if you 70/11 Tape can tell, or have a feel, for whether you're in a crater, or the slope of the spacecraft is, perhaps, caused by just a gentle slope of the lurain there. Any feel for that?
LMP-LM: I'11 have to ask Dave.
CDR: -LM Houston, Hadley.
CDR-LM: I guess to answer your question, we're not really in a big crater anywhere. I - I think there are possibly - one gear may be in one of these small craters. And as you might have heard Jim and I discussing, there's a rather high crater density and I guess my references to traffic - trafficability were really to boulders, because that's what I was really most concerned with on driving the Ro - Rover. There is a fairly high crater density aroUnd. And, as I mentioned, they range up to probably 10 - 8, 10 meters or so. And in our local area - Let me give you a - a rough count of the, oh, 8- to 10-meter ones. I guess one every 15 to 20 meters. So there's a - a fair number of medium craters. Nothing sharp, no boulders, and it may be that one footpad is in one of these craters that range on down to maybe 2 meters or 1 meter. And then there's a sharp break in craters down to probably a foot or so. But it - it's almost like 14, as I remember their pictures, quite a variety of crater sizes, up to some certain limits. I don't see anything on the 25-meter scale that we hoped to expose the bedrock in our immediate vicinity, although I can see some fresh ones - maybe some rims out through the window here at 10 or 11 o'clock. But I can't really account for our attitude right now. We'11 just have to get out and take a look.
CC: Roger, Dave. Copied all that loud and clear. I phrased my other question po - poorly. Apparently, the thermal people were worried that if you were sitting in - right in the bowl of a - of a fairly deep crater, there would be a certain focusing effect of the sunlight, and it may require more water to keep the spacecraft cool later on. That's a good answer we have from you. Will have some more questions for you later on when you're comfortable and into your eat period, if you're in - interested in - in talking at that time. And we'11 be standing by.
CDR-LM: Okay, Joe. I - there's so much here, I could talk to you forever. But, there - there's a large - I can see now, we were in zero phase and without taking a close look out the front window, I couldn't tell you --but, as I was coming down trying to select a spot to land, I was trying to avoid these 8- to 10-meter craters. And we have one out of our 4 o'clock - I guess about 3 or 4 o'clock that I discussed before. There is one directly in front of us almost - the rim is almost on the shadow of the radar antenna right now, and it appears to be an 8- to 10-meter one. And there's one over to our 10 o'clock. They're just all over, and it was sort of hard to find a spot that was really level.
CC: Roger. We copy. And, Dave. Earlier you talked about, specifically, a very bright crater, I think, fairly near by. Could you estimate for us the size, distance, and azimuth of that bright crater?
CDR-LM: Stand by. I can tell you're still looking for our position.
CC: No, that's not necessarily true. We think we're pretty wer - well squared away on your position. This probably would cinch it down, though.
CDR: Okay. As we're unsuiting here, let me think that one over. I think we can cinch it down too.
CDR-LM: But, before we go, I got to tell you about a - a rock that's right out at 12 o'clock, right - almost at the radar antenna shadow, and it's going to be gone pretty soon. There's a - a dark, black, angular fragment which is on the order of probably - I'd say 6 to 8 inches across. It's got some light-colored apparent dust on it. It's Tape ?0/lB Page B59 unique on the surface. All the other fragments appear to be white. And this one really looks like a Jewel. You can think about that for awhile.
CC: Roger. We copy. And it wouldn't surprise me at all if there wasn't some thought given to that rock. And, Dave and Jim, when you're comfortable, we'11 call up our best guess as to your position and let you think about that for awhile.
CC: And you'11 be very pleased to hear that your landing was not recorded on either of our seismometers on the Moon.
CDR-LM: Well, that's nice to know. You can tell the Pro- gram Manager that we certainly didn't buckle his engine bell for him.
CC: And, Jim, I Just have to ask you, did you notice if the contact light came on or not?
LMP-LM: You didn't hear me.
CDR-LM: Joe, I think Jim might simply qualify what he thooght was - what our landing velocity might have been.
CC: Roger. I'd say he was dividing everything by 10. And, Dave, be advised the program - -
LMP-LM: No, I don't think so. I think we're - -
CC: Okay, Dave. Be advised the Program Manager says he'11 wait until tomorrow until he decides about that engine bell.
CDR-LM: Okay. Well just tell him that I'11 guarantee that it wasn't running when we touched down.
CC: Hadley Base, this is Houston. When you have the ECS configured properly, 'we'd like to run a sep- arator number 1 check, please. And we'11 ask yom to go back to separator number 1.
LMP-LM: We understand, Joe.
CC: Roger. We'11 be standing by.
CC: And, Jim. This is Houston. We would like a mark when you go to separator number 1.
LMP-LM: Okay. It'11 be a little while, Joe.
CC: Roger. No hurry. We'11 Just know when to be watching.
CDR-LM: Okay, Houston. Hadley for comm check on the light weights.
CC: Roger, Hadley Base. Copy you 5 by.
CDR: Okay. One suit and helmet stowed.
CC: Roger, Dave. And, Jim, standing by for your call. --
CDR-LM: Okay, Houston. Hadley here. If you want to give us the consumables update, we'11 take it.
CC: Roger, Dave. Got them right here. And if you're ready to copy, here they come.
CC: The LM consumables - -
LMP-LM: We're ready to copy.
CC: - - RCS Alfa, 85.0; Bravo, 85.5; 02 descent number 1 85; number 2, 83.5; 02 ascent number l, 99; num- ber 2, 99; H2O descent number l, 79; number 2, 80; H2O ascent number 1,100 percent; ascent number 2, 100 percent; AMP-hours descent, 1705; ascent, 572. _-_ Over.
LMP: Okay. Copied all that. Look - that looks pretty close to nominal.
CC: Not half bad.
CDR: Okay, Houston; Hadley. We're in the ECS sleep con- figuration now, if you want to run your water SEP check.
CC: Roger, Dave. We're standing by for a mark.
LMP-LM: Okay. Stand by, Joe.
LMP-LM: 2, 1 -
LMP-LM: MARK.
CC: Hello, Falcon. This is Houston. Just for your own information, the water separator number 1 looks good. But we'11 he keeping a further eye on it here. A little later on, Gordo's going to read up a pro- cedure that involves the VHF communications check.
CDR-LM: Okay. I understand. Thank you.
CC: And, Dave and Jim, we've got some positions, when you get in a comfortable position, maybe have some- thing to eat, but have your maps out. I'11 read them up to you.
CDR-LM: Okay. Give us about 5 minutes.
CC: Roger, Dave. No hurry at all.
CC: Falcon, Houston. If you're not busy, I'11 give you some switch positions to get set up for the VHF comm check.
CDR-LM: How much time do we have, Gordo?
CC: Plenty of time. Probably - about 15 minutes before he comes over the horizon.
CDR-LM: Okay. Give us about 5 to finish fixing dinner here. It takes a while.
CDR-LM: Okay, Houston. Hadley Base here. Go ahead with your switch settings.
CC: Okay, Falcon. This is Houston. You can go ahead and throw these switches as I call them. We'd like the VHF A TRANSMITTER to VOICE, and the VHF A RECEIVER ON. That's a verify. Over.
CDR-LM: Roger. That's a verify on both.
CC: Okay. And the VHF A SQUELCH, we'd like you to ad- --_ Just it. Suggest so you can hear a little noise. And VHF ANTENNA, AFT. Over.
CDR-LM: SQUELCH with a little noise, and an - ANTENNA, AFT.
CC: Okay, the LMP. We suggest he makes a check. Put his AUDIO panel, VHF A T/R to T/R. And we're going to have A1 initiate the check. He - He's kind of busy as he passes over, so he's going to initiate the check at a slack moment, and that'11 be some- time between 108:32 and 108:44.
UNKNOWN: Okay. A couple of points. We don't have any mis- sion timer, and we'11 be standing by. And I'11 have to do it, because we have one lightweight headset that - that would - that failed right when we picked it up after lift-off when we first unstowed it. We brought it down so A1 could have a good one.
CC: Oh, okay. Fine. We think we know what the problem was. We think it's Just an error in procedures at - back before PDI. And before the corem check you were in VOICE/RANGE, according to the Timeline Book, and that would block your transmitter. And that's probably what's wrong. We really don't suspect any hardware problem.
CDR-LM: Okay. We Just talked it over, Gordo. After the radar check, we went from VOICE/RANGE back to VOICE on the VHF A.
CC: Yes, we realize that. But we think that the comm check was before that - that you got back and that you Just never did have another call after you got back to VOICE. The blocking - that was my mistake a minute ago - the block was due to the blocking of your receiver while in ranging. Over. _-_
UNKNOWN: Okay. Well, we're set up now, and Jim's got his e_m_ helmet on. So we'11 be standing by for Al's call.
CC: Okay. Good enough.
CDR-LM: And, Houston. Hadley Base, here. Anytime you want to discuss the landing and our position, why, I guess we've got supper cooked, and we're ready. 70/17 Tape
CC: Roger. Under - understand that supper is cooked or being eaten?
CDR-LM: Yes, if you like cold tomato soup.
CC: Oh, mercy, yes. Delicious. Dave, I guess the first thing that we might start with, is our esti- mated position of your landing sight. And we've got two inputs on that. Al, when he passed over, got what seemed like a pretty accurate hack on where you've landed, and he calls it out as Bravo, Romeo 2 - Correction. Disregard. Bravo Romeo 5 75 5. And in the back room, the best guess from the back room is Bravo Romeo 2 75 2. In both cases, it's very near November Crater. It's just a ques- tion of on which side of November are you now sit- ting. So a tally ho on November Crater will tell us, I guess, exactly. As it is, we think we know where you are to within about 100 - 100 yards. Over.
CDR-LM: Okay. I tried to find November Crater out there, Joe. And, I could see a fresh one to the north of ... rim, but no bright eJecta, as you see on the map there. But I guess I probably agree with you, and I might run through what I saw from pitchover, on down, and that might help you out a little bit. It was quite a surprise.
CC: Roger, Dave. We're standing by. And - and by the way, your comm is absolutely crystal clear. It's Just beautiful.
CDR-LM: Great. So is yours. Well, anyway, I got the B000- south call, which was a good call. And as we cm_e down prior to P64, I could see the rille to the south, and I couldn't see it up over the nose. And I got the distinct im - impression, as I looked at Hadley Delta, coming into P64, that we were going to be way long. And, I guess - you know, I've never shot one of these landings before, and I got fooled a little bit there. And at pitchover, we were def- initely quite a ways south, and I never saw Index Crater all the way down. I saw what I thought was Salyut, and the one north of Salyut, which I sort of picked as a landmark to zero in on. I gave about four clicks right and then about two more right, as I remember, to get us back up to the north. And be- cause we were south, I lost the - the four craters in a row that lead into Index. But I believe the topo relief is somewhat exaggerated in that our - our maps and models show good shadow at Index. And, as good a crater as that is from orbit it was very easy to pick up in orbit w I never did locate it on the descent during the visibility phase. But I - I was able to see earthlight, and that substantiated your call of being BO00 short. Now, after I got over a - a roll to come back up north with the LPDs, and Salyut what I thought was Salyut I redesignated short to bring us back to what looked like a reason- ably smooth area. And then I just picked out a spot in between the holes down here, and I - put it down. And I guess I - I sort of have to agree with you that we're probably somewhere around November. And - let me think a little bit and see if I can remember seeing something that looked like November.
CC: Dave. While you're thinking there, let me repeat a question I asked earlier. You described a bright - a very bright crater in One of your first descrip- tions. And we were - we're still looking for the azimuth, approximate distance, and size of that bright crater.
CDR-LM: Well, the brightest crater I've seen is the one that was right on the rim, halfway up St. George, and it's almost white. And - is that the one you're thinking about?
CC: Stand by, Dave. I think there - I think there was another one. I'11 - I'11 get back with you on that in a minute. It was one that was a lot closer to you. And I've got another question now on the board in front of me here. We - we think you're near the edge of Aristillus - Aristarchus ray. And, I wonder if you can recall anything about the local albedo changes. Over.
CDR-LM: No, Joe, I didn't see a thing. And, it's Just all the same (laughing), north and south, east or west in our current position.
CC: Roger, Dave. Copy that. And sorry on that crater call. That was m_ fault - Arist - the Aristillus - Autolycus ray. -
CC: As you, I'm sure, understood.
CC: Dave, while you're sipping your - cold tomato soup there, was the black rock that you called out to us on a crater rim?
CDR-LM: Yes, it is, Joe. It sure is. And it's a typical crater to see. It's quite a subtle crater, but it's out - well, LM shadow being like 30, maybe 28 meters now. It's probably about 40 meters away, the rim of the crater. And that black rock is sitting right on the rim.
CDR: Hey, Joe. Jim's Just pointed out another black one now that must be 300 meters out. And it's so dark that it looks like a shadow. It's Just coal black, and it looks like it might be about the same size.
CC: Roger, Dave. Incredible. While you're peeking out there, do you have any further observations on the abundance, size, and distribution of the frags in the nearby field of view?
CDR-LM: Yes. That's what we found here. Yes. I'd say that, in the - in the near field, the surface is covered by - probably less than i percent of frag- mental debris. And, of that debris, I'd say 70 per- cent of it is on the order of an inch to 2 inches, or less. And maybe the other 30 percent seems to be in a range of maybe 4 or 5 inches, something like that; no large frags anywhere. They mostly- -
CC: Dave. Let me interrupt a second. Verify - -
CDR-LM: - - colors.
CDR-LM: That's verify.
CC: Thank you. Continue.
CDR-LM: Okay. Most the fragments are light colored, except for the two that we - we mentioned to you. In fact, they all look - they look white. I can see some that are Just stark white and some that are a lighter g ray.
CC: Roger, Dave. You might cu_..,,entc_ the relative abundance. And, Just for your information, you're coming up on a sleep period in about a half an hour, I guess.
CDR: Okay. Understand, Joe. So -
CC: And, Falcon. We had - -
MCC: ...
CC: - - Roger. Go ahead. We've had a site handover. It's complete now.
CC: Endeavour, Houston. When you have a minute, I have another pan camera pad.
CMP: Okay; I'm ready. Go ahead.
CC: Okay. This one goes at 108:10.
CC: Okay. T-start is 108:15:27, and T-stop is 108:4B:15. Over.
CMP: Understand. T-start is 108:15:27; T-stop is 108: 43:15.
CC: Roger. The last seconds on the T-stop are 43:15. Is that what you've got?
CMP: That's correct, Gordo; 15, 4B:15.
CC: Okay. For your information, the LM troops are in the middle of the SEVA now, and Dave is standing up in the hatch and taking the panoramic pictures.
CC: Endeavour, Houston. Go ahead.
CMP: Houston, Endeavour didn't call.
CMP: Houst - Houston, Endeavour. Go ahead.
CC: We'd like you to bring up the HIGH GAIN. Use PITCH of minus 38 and YAW, 186. Over.
CMP: Roger. Understand minus 38, 186.
CMP: Okay, Houston; Endeavour. You've got the HIGH GAIN now.
CC: Endeavour, Houston. Would you give us AUTO on the HIGH GAIN?
CMP: Roger, Houston. AUTO on the HIGH GAIN.
CC: Okay. The SEVA's over; they're calling them back in to button up the LM, for your information. Also, we're contemplating another VHF corem check on the next rev. It will occur around 108:32, at the time you come over the LM horizon, and probably in- terfere with your photo of the Caucasus Mountains. We'11 have more procedures after AOS. Over.
CMP: Okay, Gordo. Sounds fine.
CC: Endeavour, Houston. We're about to LOS, so see
CMP: Okay, Gordo. See you on the other side.
CMP: Hello, Houston; Endeavor.
CC: Okay, Endeavour - -
CC: Roger, Endeavour; this is Houston. We're going to run the comm check coming up here, but we'd like to go ahead and get the - the procedures here in the Flight Plan as we go, and I'11 give you a hack be- fore the pan camera start time. The pan camera status, by the way, it's running about 70 percent okay; getting about 70 percent good pictures, and we're going to use nominal procedures. Over.
CMP: Okay, Gordo. Understand.
CC: Also, Al, your orblt's looking good. It's perform- ing - or behaving - as the FIDOs expected. Over.
CC: When you have a free moment, Al, let me know, and I'11 give you the switch positions to get set up for the corem check.
CMP: Okay, Gordo. Stand by Just l, please.
CC: Okay, Al. You can go ahead and throw these switches as I call them out to you. Put VHF AM A to SIMPLEX and the VHF ANTENNA to RIGHT. Over.
CMP: Okay. Understand VHF A, SIMPLEX, and ANTENNA, RIGHT.
CC: Okay. And then check on whatever audio panel you're using, probably 9, that VHF AM T/R is at T/R.
CMP: Roger. That's verified.
CC: Okay. That's all there is until about 108:32, which time I'11 call you. And then any time in about a 12-minute band there, you can initiate a VHF corem check when it doesn't interfere with the photo tar- get there.
CMP: Okay. 70/23 Tape
CC: I'11 give you a hack when you're within range of the LM.
CC: Endeavour, Houston. Reminder: about - slightly less than 4 minutes now to T-start for the pan camera.
CC: Endeavour, Houston. Did you call?
CMP: Roger, Houston. Just reporting that the GAMMA RAY BOOM RETRACT time was 3 plus 07.
CC: Roger; 3 plus 07. 15 seconds to pan camera T-start.
CC: Endeavour, Houston. Would you verify that the MAPPING CAMERA IMAGE MOTION switch was to INCREASE? Over.
CMP: Houston, Endeavour. That's verified.
CC: Okay. You got it a couple of minutes ago, is that right ?
CMP: Yes, that's right, Gordo. At 21.
CC: Okay, fine. It looked funny on the data here. I'11 check.
CMP: Okay, Houston. Gordo, I'm just coming up over Le Monnier now. Heading towards Serenitatis, and finished that photo strip from Peirce to Le Monnier. You might tell the king that the strip looks pretty good. I got some convergent stereo on Romer on the way over. And right now, I'm directly above one of the Littrow ridges, and it's - it - it has quite Page BT1 APOLLO 15 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CDR-LM: Okay, we heard that. Gee, I'm Just looking down right in front of the LM here to try and get your relative abundance, and I was about ready to say that maybe, of these inch frags, there might be five or six in a square meter. And I see what appears to be a round glassy ball. It's shiny, it casts a rounded shadow, and it looks about the size - oh, maybe an - an inch or so.
CDR-LM: I can see some lineaments on the surface which appear to be from the descent engine. They radiate away from our position here. We'11 take a closer look at those later.
CC: Roger, Dave. And, for the benefit of our fine Flight Director, maybe the name of that should be called an Aggie.
CDR-LM: Okay, Joe. We'11 call that one our first Aggie.
CC: And, Dave, the question on the bright crater, you described it as the one near the LM with lighter gray debris in it. And I'm - I'm sitting here wondering if maybe that was No - -
CC: - - November Crater itself.
CDR-LM: Okay; there was one in that fresh debris. Light colored around the rim. Although it was - did not have a particularly raised rim. It was a - a level rim, but there was a - a fair amount of debris around the rim. And that was out about, my 2 o'clock, I guess. Maybe you'd call that November. I guess what I was looking for, relative to November, was the bright eJecta blanket, which I don't really see.
CC: Roger. We agree. It does look bright on our map here. Stand by for a call from A1 if you could, guys.
CC: Falcon, would you give Endeavour a call? He's been calling you. Evidently you don't read. Try it in the reverse.
CDR-LM: Hello, Endeavour. This is the Falcon. How do you read?
CC: Falcon and Endeavour, this is Houston. Evidently neither of you are reading each other. We'11 stand by until you get overhead and give it another try. I'11 give you a cue. Over.
CDR-LM: Falcon. Roger.
CC: And, Falcon; this is Houston. We're suggesting that you proceed on with the PLSS charge, and we'11 be saying goodnight to you shortly. You're coming up on your sleep period shortly.
CDR-LM: Okay. And did that Sun compass do you any good, Joe?
CC: Dave, those - those readings converge pretty well. They Just don't decide between the about 100-meter error we think we have in the two possible landing sites. But you're very close to being exactly right on.
CDR-LM: Okay, fine.
CDR-LM: Hello, Endeavour; this is Falcon. You're loud and clear. How us? - Hey, it was super, just super. And we got the greatest place on the Moon down here. Yes, that's what they tell me. Say, can you see Index very well up there?
CC: And, Falcon, this is Houston. In a few minutes, while you're stowing the ETB, we'd like for you to pick up the magazine and frame counts on the magazine from your two cameras, please.
CDR-LM: Well, we'11 do the little things and you do the big things.
CMP: Yes, sirree. Maybe we can get together and compare notes.
CDR-LM: Okay, we're about ready to power down for the night, and everything's in good shape down here. Everything is running well. And all we got to do and is get a little sleep get out after it.
CMP: Okay, David. See you in the morning.
CDR-LM: Okay. Have a nice night.
LMP-LM: Good night, Al.
CMP: Good night, James. I'm keeping your sleeping bag warm for you, Jim.
LMP-LM: Take care of everything up there.
CDR-LM: Hey, Houston; Falcon. Endeavour's calling you.
CC: Thank you, Dave. We're hearing him.
CMP: What is it? Shift change, Joe?
CC: Al, no, it's not. I think maybe - we may be on split S-band, and you're transmitting to me instead of Gordo. What can I do for you?
CMP: Well, I didn't - I didn't change my frequency, Joe. Say listen, I had a photo pass - -
CC: Alfredo, are you still reading me?
CDR-LM: Say, Houston; Falcon. By the way, the VHF is crystal clear up here. Our comm is working great. Soon as you guys get it squared away on the ground, I guess we'11 all be tied together.
CC: Roger, Dave. We - we read the conversation. We'11 be standing by for a report of a successful PLSS charge and interested in getting you guys in the sack as quickly as possible. Also, when you load up the ETB, we'11 be standing by for frame counts from your cameras.
CDR-LM: Wilco.
LMP-LM: Okay, Joe. I have some frame numbers - frame counts for you.
CC: Roger, Jim. Standing by.
LMP-LM: Roger. Mag L is reading 33. Mag K is reading 66. And MAG Metro is reading 20.
CC: Roger, Jim. Thank you. Sounds like we got some beautiful shots already.
LMP-LM: Beautiful scenery.
CC: It sounds it.
CC: Hello, Hadley Base; this is Houston. Regarding the water separator number l: Just to give you a warm feeling, it's - it's working perfectly now. It looks as though we Just had a temporary - temporarily there, some water run down from the hoses and waterlogged it, but it's working perfectly now. Over.
CDR-LM: Okay, Houston. Thank you for passing it on.
CDR-LM: Houston, Hadley.
CDR-LM: I'd like to confirm that, on the LMP camera for EVA- l, we use MAG Lima. Is that correct?
CC: That's correct, Dave. MAG Lima on the LMP camera. And we copied all the frame counts.
UNKNOWN: thank you. 71/5 Tape
CC: And, Dave, this is Houston. Did you copy from me that your water separator number i looks good again?
CDR-LM: Roger; I thought we called you back on that, Joe. We got it. Thank you.
CDR-LM: Okay, Houston. Hadley Base has two charged PLSSs.
CC: Go ahead_ Dave.
CDR-LM: Roger. We have two charged PLSSs.
CC: Roger; that sounds good.
CC: And, Dave and Jim; this is Houston. If you two are interested, I could probably arrange for a geology lecture here to put you asleep - to put you to sleep.
CDR-LM: Perhaps, Joe - I'm afraid that might - that'd keep us awake.
CC: Roger. I agree. That was an outstanding job of describing your surroundings. By the way, guys, I'm really - all of us are looking forward to tomorrow.
CDR-LM: Well, thank you, Joe. I hope we get wound up and get out there and get close to some of this. It's really fascinating.
CC: Hadley Base, this is Houston. Requesting telementry switch. LO bit - bit rate. Please.
CDR-LM: Roger. LO bit rate.
CC: Hello, Hadley Base. This is Houston.
CC: Roger, Dave. We're not going to ask exactly for a mark when you ingress the hammocks. And, by the way, I think the space program is the any - only place where a person can ingress a hammock, but we would like a status report on the two of you when you get comfortable. And, a final thing, you might be interested, the score of the All Star game at about halftime is the Baltimore Colts 14j _-_ College All Stars 7. And we'11 be standing by for your status report. Over.
CDR-LM: Okay. That sounds like a pretty good game.
CC: Dave, before you get too well settled there, I forgot to indicate that the Surgeon is requesting a - a radiation device read-out to be included in your crew status report there.
CDR-LM: All right. We'11 look into that, Joe. We'11 get it.
CC: Okay. Fine, Dave. I was afraid you would get in a position where you couldn't reach those devices.
CDR-LM: Oh, no, we weren't thinking of passing the Surgeon. We Just have a - a number of unscheduled housekeeping chores that we've got to get squared away here, if we are going to settle down for 3 days.
CC: Roger. Understand. And we're in no hurry. I do want you to get a good night's rest though.
CC: And, Dave, this is Houston. It sounds like you'11 be able to carry out a very good experiment with your portable Leaning Tower of Pisa there.
CDR-LM: Well, I'11 tell you. It really doesn't seem to ___ be leaning that much. We haven't noticed any - well, we can see it's still a little tilted here, but it 's no real problem.
CDR-LM: In fact, what, about 10 degrees at the most?
CDR-LM: Okay. On the PRD, if you're ready to copy.
CDR-LM: Okay; CDR is 25011. The LMP, 08020.
CC: Roger, Dave. Thank you.
CC: Roger. Apologize for the question. But are your radiation meters tucked away yet?
CDR-LM: They sure are.
CC: Hello, Hadley Base; this is Houston. Over.
CDR-LM: Go ahead, Joe.
CC: Roger --
CDR-LM: What can I do for you?
CC: Roger, Dave. We've got two goodnight questions for you here. The first, we're trying to unravel some water-pressure data, and we Just needed to know if you charged the PLSSs, using your checklist or using the decal instructions on the PLSSs. Over.
CDR-LM: No, we used the checklist. We used the checklist for the water ...
CC: Roger; understand you used the checklist and charged it with water for the specified 5 minutes then. Over.
CDR-LM: Yes, that's correct.
CC: Okay; copy that. And, Dave, we've got a major discrepancy in your radiation dosimeter reading. It's either gone belly-up on us or we miscopied the number which you read. We'11 have to ask you to read it again, please.
CDR-LM: You know that we switched them?
CC: Say again, Falcon.
CDR-LM: You know that CDR and CMP's PRD's were interchanged.
CC: That's affirm, Dave; and the last reading we got from A1 was considerably higher than the one we got from you. The device is either broken or you' re being un-irradiated, which seems unreasonable. Over.
CDR-LM: Well, all I can do is look in this very tiny window and look at these very tiny numbers and they say 2501 - I guess I can give you a seven on that one.
CC: Roger. Everybody's happy. Thank you, Dave. And we have no questions from Houston. We'11 say a pleasant good night to the two of you and look forward to tomorrow. Over.
CDR-LM: Okay, Joe. I guess we don't have any alarm clock, so if somebody'il give us the word, we'11 be standing by.
CC: I wouldn't be at all surprised. You're liable to get the word from down here. And it's been an out- standing day.
CDR-LM: Yes, we've enjoyed it.
CDR-LM: Houston, Hadley Base. We're all tucked in. We'11 see you in the morning.
CC: Falcon, Houston. Did you call?
CDR-LM: Roger. I Just let you know that we're all tucked in - in the hammocks, and we'11 see you in the morning. -_
CC: Roger, Dave. Good night and don't fall out.
CDR-LM: No way, Bob, no way. There's no place to go if I did.
CC: Okay, Al. Very interesting. Change the subject, we're now - should be - within line of sight of the LM, so stand by while I get a quick check and see if they can take a comm check.
CMP: Okay; fine,
CC: Al, go ahead with it and see if you can raise them.
CMP: Okay. Hey, Falcon; this is Endeavour. How do you read?
CMP: Hello, Falcon; this is Endeavour.
CMP: Hello, Falcon; Endeavour.
CC: Falcon and Endeavour, this is Houston. Evidently, stand by until you get overhead and give it another try. I'11 give you a cue. Over.
CMP: Okay, Gordo. I'11 keep trying here a couple of times. Falcon, Endeavour. How do you read?
CMP: Hey, I hear you trying to call. Go ahead.
CMP: Hey, Falcon; Endeavour. How do you read?
CMP: Hello, Falcon; this is Endeavour. I read you.
CMP: Hey, you're coming in 5 square, David. How'd it go?
CMP: Hey, that sounds neat. I think I got you on the - on the last pass, too.
CMP: Yes, sir. I could see Index Just as clear as a bell.
CDR-LM: ... Falcon to go with it?
CMP: and I went Index. right down the line, Matthew, Mark, Luke,
CMP: How do you read now, Dave?
CDR-LM: All broken. How us?
CMP: Okay, let me try another antenna.
CMP: Okay; how do you read now?
CDR-LM: Okay; that's a lot better.
CDR-LM: I've got a question for you here - -
CMP: Geel That sure is a pretty sight down there, pal - -
CDR-LM: - - Can you see Index at altitude now? Could you see any shadows to identify it?
CDR-LM: Say again, Dave.
CDR-LM: Could you identify Index Crater as you go over the landing site, now?
CMP: Yes, I can do that with the naked eye right now. I'm Just coming up on you now, and I can see Index from here.
CDR-LM: Hey, Houston$ Falcon. Stand by.
CDR-LM: Okay, Endeavour; Falcon. I guess you're over the hill, because we don't read you now.
CMP: Hey, negative, negative. I'm just coming up on you.
CDR-LM: Oh, okay. You're broken a little bit. As you go by, see if you see any shadows in Index. I never saw it on the way in.
CMP: Hey, listen. I've got Index with - just looking out the side hatch window, right now. Those four craters ending in Index are just as clear as a bell right now.
CDR: Okay. Do you see us sort of relative to Index? last pass I picked you up, and you're Just to the north and a little bit West of Index.
CDR-LM: Okay, I think that's about right. Yes.
CMP: Yes. Did you get the coordinates off the map?
CDR-LM: Yes, we got the ones you passed to Houston, and we also got the ones in the back room, and I guess we're discussing ... several kind of numbers now within 100 meters or so of where we really are. So, I think we're pretty well located.
CMP: Well, I'm right over you right now, pal, looking down.
CMP: I hope the view is as fantastic down there as it is up here.
CDR-LM: I'm telling you, it really is!
CC: Endeavour, Houston. If you're reading, put the pan camera on MONO and also add - -
CT: Houston COMM TECH, Goldstone COMM TECH.
CT: Houston COMM TECH, Goldstone COMM TECH, net 2.
CC: Endeavour, this is Houston. Go ahead. Over.
CMP: Had a photo pass Just coming up on the landing site that time. It was photo target 25, Caucasus Mountains, which I skipped to do the VHF voice check.
CC: Okay, you've been loud and clear. We've been balled up on a site configuration problem here, but I think we're back with it, and we have one question. You're by T-stop for the pan camera now, we wondered if you went to MONO on the pan camera at 3 minutes and 20 seconds before T-stop. Over.
CMP: Negative, Gordo. I got tied up in that VHF check.
CMP: Want me to go MONO now?
CC: Go STANDBY now, Al. We're psst the T-stop time. --
CMP: Okay, Gordo. Sorry about that. We're in STANDBY now.
CC: No problem. It was our fault for the comm problem. We - we heard the co-.. checks and it sounded good. You're clear to go back to normal configuration on the VHF whenever you get a chance.
CC: Endeavour, Houston. We'd like the GAMMA RAY GAIN STEP switch one step up. Over.
CMP: Roger. GAMMA RAY GAIN STEP, one step up, now.
CMP: Okay, and if you want to let me know on the pan camera power, whether the lens is in or not.
CC: Okay. The lens is tucked in - -
CMP: Yes, just keep waiting,
CC: - - and you're cleared to turn it on.
CMP: Okay, and the GAMMA RAY BOOM is going out now.
CMP: MARK. Barber pole.
CMP: And the MASS SPEC BOOM is going out.
CC: Endeavor. Houston. Would you give us AUTO on the HIGH GAIN, please?
CMP: Roger. AUTO on the HIGH GAIN.
CC: Endeavour, this is Houston. Thirty seconds to T- stop on the mapping camera. Over.
CMP: Okay, Gordo. Thank you. Got you.
CC: Endeavo ur, Houston. I have the TEI-26 pad for you. Over.
CMP: Okay, Houston. Stand by just 1.
CC: Okay; standing by 1.
CMP: Okay, Gordon. I'm ready to copy.
CC: Okay. TEI-26: SPS/G&N; NOUN 47 is 37354; plus 0.60, plus 0.97; T. is 129:22:25.54; NOUN 81 is zg plus 3031.2, minus 1327.1, minus 0308.7; attitude is 180, 092, 339; ullage is four Jets for 12 seconds. And other remarks: Lambda at T. equals plus 172.93. Go ahead, zg
CMP: Okay. TEI-26: SPS/G&N; 37354; plus 0.60, plus 0.97; 129:22:25.54; plus 3031.2, minus 1327.1, minus 0308.7; 180, 092, 339. That's four Jets for 12 seconds and Lambda at T. is plus 172.93. lg
CC: Okay, Al. Your reading back is correct, and another comment. I think earlier we led you to believe that you shouldn't use the systems test meter. We retract that. We thlnk the system - systems text - test meter is okay, and use it anytime you feel the desire to. Over.
CMP: Oh, okay. Fine. Thank you.
CC: And we're still missing the deploy time on the booms there back earlier. If you've got them written down and you want to get on, Just give them to us anytime you have time.
CMP: Okay. I'11 - Let me dig for them. Gordo, on these boom deploy times and retract times, I don't have all of those times each time I do it, precisely, because sometimes it happens that I'm off busy doing something else, and I - you know, I miss the barber pole, so I - I don't have all of them.
CC: Okay. I'm sure it's not a matter of life or death.
CC: Go - go, Al.
CMP: Okay. Did you get the gyro torquing angles on that P52, Gordo?
CC: That's affirmative. We got them.
CMP: Okay. I torqued them out at 109:07.
CC: Roger; 109:07; and, for your information, there's it-ma i minute now until all those on the SIM bay there is coming up.
CMP: Okay. _-_
CC: A couple of requests - for you here. We would, first of all, like the MASS SPECTROMETER DISCRIMINATOR switch to LOW. Over.
CMP: Okay. The MASS SPEC DISCRIMINATOR's in LOW.
CC: And we're ready for an E-MOD, and we'd also like to ask you for a crew status report. Over.
CMP: Okay. The E-MOD's coming your way, and stand by a minute and I'11 give you all the status.
CMP: I guess just - if you want just crew status report - doing Just fine. I don't know what else I can say.
CC: Can you give us how much sleep you got last night, and also your PRD read-out?
CMP: Okay. I've got apparently a bad PRD, so I haven't been keeping track, but I will if you want. But I've got Dave's PRD. And, let's see, I guess you didn't get a status report this morning. I got - I think all three of us got 7 and a half hours of sleep last night, and I got mine all in one segment. And I've taken no medication today.
CC: Okay, Al. Fine. That - that was the problem; we didn't get this morning's report. One other quicky. If you'11 comment if we're throwing too many reminders up from the ground here or not enough. We're just trying to get a feel for whether we're harassing you or helping you - on the timing callouts.
CMP: Gordo, I think - Yes, yes. I think if you don't expect me to answer, it's a great help to me, because I do find that I'm trying to be three places at once in here; and, if I'm doing a P52, I can't be over working the - the SIM bay at the same time. So the reminder is good. I can always break into a P52 to go turn something off, but bearing in mind that I don't have a mission timer in - in the lower equipment bay, it's a little difficult for me to keep tract of the time sometimes, so I do appreciate it.
CC: Okay. We'11 keep them coming. If they, at any time, become too much, Just shut us up.
CMP: Okay, Gordo. Appreciate it. Thank you, sir.
CC: Endeavour, Houston. We got about 2 minutes until LOS. We still need the onboard readings, but if they were all nominal, Just say so, and we'11 get them some time later. And that's about all we have for you until tomorrow morning. Over.
CMP: Okay. Onboard read-outs: BAT C was 37; PYRO BAT A was 37; PYRO BAT B, 37; RCS Alfa was 73; Bravo, 71; Charlie, 72; and Delta, 73.
CC: Okay. We copy all that.
CC: Endeavour, Houston. One last thing. The INCO's running behind on his DSE rewind; if it's not rewound when you LOS, you'11 have to do those - perform all those verifies yourself. Over.
CMP: Okay, Gordo. Will do it. 72/1 Tape APOLLO 15 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION REST PERIOD - NO COMMUNICATIONS
CC: Roger, Al. Sorry to wake you up again, but we need REACQUIRE and NARROW with angles of PITCH, plus 25; YAW, 185. Over.
CMP: Okay, Houston. You've got REAC, NARROW; PITCH, plus 25; and a YAW of minus 185. How do you read?
CC: Roger. Read you much better now, Al. Sorry about that. Good night, again.
CMP: That's okay. I wasn't asleep yet. I was waiting for you to call.
CC: Oh, okay. Anything else you want to tell us?
CMP: No. I was Just wondering what you wanted setting on the - on the HIGH GAIN is all.
CC: Okay, Al. And one other thing you might do before you go to bed is MASS SPEC DISCRimINATOR to LOW.
CMP: Ok - okay, Bob; understand. MASS SPEC DISCRIMINATOR to LOW.
CC: Roger. REST PERIOD - NO COMMUNICATIONS 75/1 Tape APOLLO 15 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CDR-LM: Hello, Houston. This is Falcon. Go.
CC: Roger. Morning, Dave. Waking you up an hour early because we've got a little problem on board we need addressed. When you get a moment to get something to write it down, let me talk to you about it in detail. The problem we're looking at is a leak in descent 02, and we're trying to determine whether we got a small cabin leak or a leak in the oxygen system itself. Over.
CDR-LM: Okay. Understand, Bob.
CC: Falcon, Houston. Are you ready to copy?
CDR-LM: Stand by, Houston.
LMP-LM: Houston, this is Hadley. We're ready to copy.
CC: Okay, Hadley. First thing we'd like is HI bit rate. That will allow us to look at some extra parameters, particularly temperature, to see how much of this fall is due to temperature effects, which we haven't experienced before. So, if you're standing right there, why don't you flip that on while I read you the rest of the pad, Jim.
LMP-LM: Okay. We're HI bit rate.
CC: Roger. Thank you. Next step is DESCENT 02 to CLOSE. And why don't you do that now, because the step following that is for the ground to monitor the descent 02 tank pressure and the cabin pressure, and we're going to look and see if the leak, which we've seen so far as a drop in the tank pressure, is due to a cabin leak or to a leak in the system itself. Copy?
LMP-LM: Okay. I copy. DESCENT 02 is CLOSED.
CC: Okay, Hadley. We'11 be watching that. Then, you might copy down the following steps to be per- formed, depending upon our analysis of what we're watching right now. One, if leak stops, upper and forward hatch valves, close. And ensure that the urine QD is capped. Over.
LMP-LM: Stand by 1.
LMP-LM: Houston, this is 15. We were Just looking at the urine transfer device, and that valve was in the OP_ position, although the device wasn't capped.
CC: Roger. Copy and understand that the receptacle or transfer device was attached to the hose ... all night.
CC: Okay, Jim. We'd like you to leave it in the con- figuration you found it in for a few minutes, because that will allow us to verify that that's where the leak was. Over.
LMP-LM: Okay. I'm going to open the valve again.
CC: Roger. Thank you. I'11 tell you, that's good news if that's what it is, man.
LMP-LM: Understand on your first - Okay, on that first step that you read, it said, if leak stops, to close both dump valves.
CC: Roger. That's affirm. In other words, if we see that the leak has stopped here on the ground, we will then ask you to close both dump Valves and also verifying the urine QD; and, if the leak in the cabin - now, if the cabin is completely isolated - Continues to hold, we will then ask you to open the hatch valves one at a time to verify that the hatch valves are not going to leak or which hatch valve is leaking in the open '_ position. Some of that will be - not indicated, if indeed it is the urine QD that's capped. Do you copy, Jim? 75/3 Tape
LMP-LM: Okay. Yes. We understand.
CC: Roger. And we'd like to verify right now Just quickly that the DESCENT 02 is CLOSED; that the urine receptacle is back in its original configu- ration, bret.
CC: Roger. Let's Just stand by here for a couple of minutes and we'11 see how - what the ground has to tell us.
LMP-LM: Bob, as long as we're talking about consumables, what are you showing down there for water? Because we are reading - oh, about 60 percent on descent 1 and 2 now.
CC: Standby, Jim. We'd better read our decals down here, too.
LMP-LM: Bob, you did copy my question about the water quantity?
CC: Roger, Jim. And we're having to read our decals down here, too. It will take us a minute. We'11 be right back with you.
LMP-LM: Understand.
CC: Jim, we have an answer for you on your water ga j problem. The 60 that you're seeing indeed cor- responds to a true 70 percent which, indeed, is the number that we were expecting to see. Over.
LMP-LM: Okay. Fine, Bob. Thank you.
CC: And, Hadley Base; Houston. Over.
LMP-LM: Go ahead, Bob.
CC: Roger. It looks like your descent tanks are holding up very nicely; your cabin is falling slightly, as you may have noticed already on your - your meters. We would like you to take the urine receptacle off the hose and then put the QD cap on after you remove the urine receptacle. --' Over - And then we'11 - After you have done this, we will watch the cabin for a little bit longer to see that it stops also. Over.
LMP-LM: Okay. That's in work.
LMP-LM: Okay. The urine receptacle is off, but the - the other QD is - installed.
CC: Roger. We're standby to watch what comes off down - down here on the ground.
CC: And, Jim, we'11 be sitting here in this configura- tion about 5 minutes to watch the cabin again.
CC: It looked like you were getting pretty good sleep there for a while, Jim.
LMP-LM: Say again, Bob.
CC: Roger. It looked like you were getting a pretty good sleep there.
LMP-LM: Yes, sir. That's the best sleep I've had on the flight.
CC: Roger. How was Dave doing?
CDR-LM: Just fine, Bob. I was - way down in sleep when you gave us a call.
CC: Sorry about that, Dave.
CDR-LM: Oh, no. That's okay. Let's get the problem -- squared away.
CC: Yes, I figured we lost a little bit of sleep down here on the ground tonight. I couldn't even fall asleep at my console.
LMP: That is amazing.
LMP-LM: Houston, this is Hadley. If you're not too busy, I could copy the lift-off data from P21 and P27.
CC: Roger, Jim. If you are ready to copy then, T-21 is 188:30:48 - negative. That should be a ll8. I guess you gathered that. T-22 is 120:29:00; T-23 is 122:27:10; T-24, 124:25:21; T-25, 126:23:32; T-26, 128:21:44; T-27, 130:19:54. Over.
LMP-LM: Okay, Bob. I'11 give you a quick readback on that - on these. 118:30:48; 120:29:00; 122:27:10; 124:25:21; 126:23:32; 128:21:44; and 130:19:54.
CC: Roger. Good readback, Jim.
LMP-LM: And, if you have the consumables update, I'11 take that, too.
CC: Roger, Jim. We're ahead of ourselves there.
LMP-LM: Okay. Not - no rush.
CC: And, Falcon; Houston. Over. We believe that we are very strongly convinced, finally, down here, that that indeed solves the problem. You can go back to DESCENT 02, OPEN. And we'd like to suggest that the procedure, when using that particular device from now on, will be to remove the resepricle [sic] when you're finished and cap it in - as we've just done. Over.
CDR-LM: That's good news, Bob. We'11 do that. And, gee, the sleeping up here is really good up here; and, _f y'all ever see another little problem like that, why, we'd be only to happy to roll over and take care of it. I think, as a matter of fact, we'a even sleep better if we knew that you wouldn't mind waking us.
CC: Roger. You can sleep better because now you know I can wake you up anyway. The thing didn't drop out of your ear, apparently, Dave.
CDR-LM: Oh, no. I made sure of that.
CC: And you guys have about 22 minutes left, if you want to go back to sleep again.
CDR-LM: Well, I tell you, we probably could. We were just talking - talking it over, and both of us slept just as well here as we do at home.
CC: Well, fra_ly, Dave, it's your guys option. If you want to lie down and take a little morning snooze while the rest of us keep working down here, that's your option. I'm not sure that we want to - we weren't talking about starting the EVA early. I think that was kind of agreed upon before - we start on time, wasn't it?
CDR-LM: Yes, that's right. We don't want to start the EVA early. We'11 stick to the time line. But I think we'11 take advantage of the extra little bit of time here to keep getting organized. It takes a little while to settle down and get a system here for living to be efficient, and I think we can make good use of the time.
CC: Okay; you're the boss.
CDR-LM: Well, we both feel pretty well rested at this point. And we'11 Just mush along here at a nice easy pace and, hopefully, be all ready by the time it's time to go out.
CC: Okay; and when you're ready, you can give me call, when you're ready for some updates, particularly concerning EVA planning, and I'11 have a few good words to pass you then, when you're con - when it's convenient.
CDR-LM: Okay. We'11 get breakfast cooking here, and give you a call.
