CC: Roger. Sure are. Everything's doing fine. All the gals are having a little party tonight, as far as I know.
CMP: Oh, good. Glad to hear it.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. I was Just reading some of the transcripts of earlier today about this ear- lier PTC that we attempted, and when you keyed into VERB 24 and did the two ENTER's, it took off on you. I think we got a story on that, if you'd like to listen to why it had such a high rate, Mike. Over.
CMP: Yes. I'm all ears.
CC: Okay. I think it would be better if you got your checklist out on 97, and we could walk you through it, and that way I could probably get the story straight. Over.
CC: Okay, _ke, what happened is- you know, you were sitting there monitoring VERB 16, NOUN 20, and at step 7 you went into VERB 24, NOUN 01, and keyed in the address and then INFORMATION INFORMATION; and on the final ENTER of that 35400 ENTER, right after that, it - that then put you back into the 16, NOUN 20. Then when you did the VERB 24, ENTER, you were really entering the information in the actual CDU; and when you got the two entries in, in register i and 2, it was an - at was an instan- taneous change in the actual CDU, and the CM DAP looked at that and saw - saw what at thought it Page had. My - my gosh, I got a 600-degree-per-second rate. And it turns on the Jets to try to take that rate out. And the rate filters that it's looking at - it - well, the rate it's looking at is filtered, so it doesn't really sense the actual rate until the thing is already built up, and then it starts reading the rate filters, and it says, "Well, I really didn't have 600 degrees." So then it turns it off and tries to slow it down. But until that happens, and it is some time lag, and that's why the rate was building up. The Jets were on, and they were going to stay on due to that instantaneous 600 - suspected 600-degree-per-second rate. Over.
CMP: Okay. I got you.
LMP: Hey, Charlie' are you Saying that for a short period of time, he actually loaded NOUN 20 with some value other than was being read by the CDU?
CC: i thi nk I got that, BuZz. That's affirmative. But when he did that second VERB 24, you were - the NOUN was 20, so when he did the B175 and then a 002 ENTER, wha$ he actually did there was load the first two actual CDU locations, and the com- puter looked at it - the DAP looked at it as an instantanegusch _ inthe aptualCDU. Stand bY on your comments. We're switching antennas.
CC: - - We're very scratchy.
CC: 11, Houston. We got you back now on the high gain. Did you copy all that, Buzz? Over.
LMP: Yes. I think so. I - I thought maybe that NOUN 20 was one of those that you could never load from the DSKY, and that still maybe. Maybe it was loaded Just for the short period of time, and then when the counters read the - the gimbal angles, why they changed it back to what they actually are. But in the meantime, the DAP saw this different number. Is that right?
CC: Well, our guidance guy was telling me that you can actually load those ACDU's, the actual CDU's, but we'11 - we're checking on that. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. Buzz, the word from the back room is that you can actually load the NOUN 20, but you should not.
LMP: Yes. I got that. Th_n_ you.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We got a recommendation for you on your stowage of theEVVA's. Over.
CC: Okay. We'd like - the SPAN guys say it looks - helmet they think that one would go on the that you're going to have in B1, and you could put the other one on Mike's helmet, which will be in the sleep restraint. Over.
CDR: I doubt if it will fit on the helmet in B1. The other one might - might go in the sleep restraint. We've got them in our helmet bags, and I guess we're going to have to keep the helmets in the helmet bags, and the LEVVA's in the LEVVA bags.
CC: Roger. t_inking
CDR: Yes. I've been maybe they ought to stay sealed up.
CC: Okay. We - -
CMP: It won't hack Bi, Charlie, with the cover. I tried it already.
CC: Okay. Fine. We weren't sure of that. It was Just a suggestion. We thought we'd - You check it out. Sounds like you've already done that, so I guess whatever you can come up with, Just let US krlow.
LMP: Okay. There's no problem. We'11 let you know where they end up.
CC: Roger. 103/1
CDR: Hello, Houston. Apollo 11. ?
CDR: Okay. Crew status report. Radiation: CDR ll020, CMP 10022, I/4P 09024. No medica- tion.
CC: And, Neil, we got - we'd like your onboard read- outs of batteries and RCS. Over.
CDR: Okay, Charlie. Ready to copy?
CDR: Okay. BATT C, PYRO BATT A, and PYRO BATT B are 37.0. RCS A, 51; B, 63; C, 63; D, 59. Go.
CC: Roger. Copy all that, Nell. And we got an entry PAD if you're ready to copy. Over.
LMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Ready to copy. Over.
CC: Roger, Buzz. It's an entry PAD, MPL, starting with roll 05, 35 - correction - 359 152 OO1.

And for your information, looking at it right now, based on all the tracking we got, that maneuver would only be a tenth of a foot per second. So, we'11 probably skip it. We'11 let you know more about that later. Okay. Your horizon check at EI minus 30 minutes, GET of 194 33 03, gives you a pitch angle of 298. Okay. The GDC, your backup align - Your set stars for the entry REFSMMAT are Deneb and Vega, 079 234 340. Standing by for your read- back. Over.

CC: Roger. Very good readback, Buzz, and for your communication setup for tonight's sleep, we'd llke OMNI to OMNI. Stand by.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. If you didn't copy that, Buzz, it was a good readback on the PAD. We've got a clock update for you that we'11 have to you as soon as we can get it out to the site. We're in the process of handing over to Honey- suckle, and it will be a couple of minutes. Over.
LMP: Okay. You want the computer to BLOCK?
CC: We'11 call you. You can stay BLOCK right now. We'11 give you a call.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Would y?u please give us POO and ACCEPT? We've got a clock up- date for you.
CMP: Go ahead, Charlie. We're P00 and ACCEPT.
CC: 11, HOUSTON. We've got the load in. You can go back to BLOCK. Over.
CC: And 11, Houston. One final thing. We'd like you to select your OMNI to OMNI, OMNI A to Bravo, high-gain track to MANUAL, and beam WIDE. Your angles are 270 in yaw, pitch minus 50. Over.
LMP: Roger. Fifty and minus 70.
CC: The angles, Buzz, were yaw 270, pitch minus 50. Over.
CC: Okay. Yaw 270, pitch minus 50.
CC: That's Roger.
CC: And Apollo 11, it's good night from a sleepy White Team. Over.
LMP: Roger. Thank you very much. We're not as sleepy tonight as we were last night.
CC: Yes. I guess you guys were pretty tired last night after that busy day.
CMP: That's affirmative. I couldn't even find the chlorine.
CC: (Laughing) Yes.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Sorry to bother you, but we'd like to have you do a VERB 34 to get the NOUN 65 off of there. Over.

CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Are you up and at them yet? Qver.
CDR: Well, we're up, at least, Owen.
CMP: Eyeballing my Magellanic clouds. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. Got your signals loud and clear, _ere. How are things this morning? O_er.
CDR: Do you read us, Owen?
CDR: Okay. Everything *** to be all right Lere. _o far, we haven't been looking ir the cockpit t. We've been spending our time _ing _ttside bae _ockpit. ***
CC: Roger, 11. You're breaking up just a little bit there, Neil. Your signals are loud but are break- ing up occasionally. Your spacecraft all looks good here from the ground. We noticed you stir- ring around the cockpit and thought we'd give you a call. Over.
CC: hl, Houston. We do have a few items for you here, entry PAD's, consumables, and so forth. ttfter you've had a chance to get organized, _enever you're ready to start on a few of thes_ :terns, why, we'11 resd them up to you. Over.
LMP: ()kay. Stand by.
LMP: Go ahead, Owen. I've got the book now. I'm ready to copy.
CC: Okay, Buzz. On your flight plan items, a few _pdates first of all. We've cancelled midcourse number 6. Just remain - remain in PTC. I'11 give you a little more time this morning. Second Stem on the flight plan is we're ready for a BATT B charge anytime you want to put it on the line; and third item, we'd like a wast_-water dump a little differently this time. _fe'd like to do it on our marks from the ground. The PTC is a little bit ragged, and we would like to make the water dump at a time which we think wJ 11 hold it in its proper configuration, so it looks like we'11 have a desirable opportunity comintl a lol_l_ in - between 15 and 20 minutes. And or our' m_l_'k, we would like to have a waste-water dunp down to about 40 percent. I'11 give you a more accurate level for the water dump a little latez. Over.
LMP: Roger. You must have stayed up all night figur- ing this one out.
CC: 11, Houston. Stand by just a moment here tmtil we get out of the NO position on the artenna.
CC: 11, Houston. We're over on OMNI Delta now. I L : think we can read you better. )id you _t those first three items on ye flight plan date? Over.
LMP: I got midcourse correction cancelled; t ,.tterv charge and water dump on your call. 0%er.
CC: That's right, Buzz; and the last item here, _. do request that we do a P52, even though we're not doing midcourse correction; and we suggest you get to that after the waste-water c_ump ha _ been complete. We also have a state vector ui- date for you, if you can give us POO ar d ACCEPT. Over.
LMP: Okay. You have the DSKY now.
CC: Roger. We'11 be sending that up, and i'11 give you your consumables update now. It's - for a time of ]70 hours, your RCS total is minus 3.5 per- cent, Alfa is minus 14.5, Bravo plus 7, Charlie minus 4.5, Delta minus 3; hydrogen total is minus 1, and your oxygen total is plus 24. Over.
CMP: Roger. Copy those. And onboard readol.ts, D is 69, C is 73, D is - Let me start over again. Okay. A is 51 and B is 62; C is 63 ancL D is 59. Over.
CC: Roger, 11. Copy those, and we've chec]ed them here on the ground, also. One correction to my last transmission. We would like that P52 prior to the waste-water dump, which is coming up in about 30 minutes from now. Will that ] e possible? Over.
CMP: Oh, yes. We'11 take care of that.
CC: Roger. And if you're ready l'or _uicnt_-y [_AI_, I'11 read that up to you now, also, 11.

CDR: Okay, Houston. The crew status report ,[s8-1/2, 7, and 8.
CC: 11, Houston. Roger, Nell. 8-1/2, 7, and 8 for your crew status.
CDR: Right. Houston.
CC: 11, Your P52 looks goof[ here on the ground, and we are now estimating that water dump will occur along about 171 plus 40; ano we'd like for you to dump to 45 percent. This should let you arrive at Earth interface with just about a full load of waste water. Over.
CDR: Understand 171 40, approximately, 40 percent.
CC: 11, Houston. We'd like to advance the time on that water dump to about 171 plus 30 just efter we reacquire on the next OMNI, and - as I mentioned, it'11 be down to 45 percent - is the new quantity. Also, we're standing by for your CM RCS ejector temperature readout. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. I'm not certain you copied nry last transmission, as we were just in the process of switching OMNI's. We'd like to ad- vance the time on that water dump until about 5 minutes from now. And we'11 give you a pre- cise mark on the time to start the dump, and w are standing by for a readout on your CM RCS ejector temperatures. Over.
CMP: Okay, Owen. We're standing by for you _ mark. stand and by for the readout.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Are you ready to cop_ ejector temperatures? I'11 read them in volts.
CC: That's affirmative. Go ahead, Mike.
CMP: Okay. 2-4 is reading 4.7 volts, 2-5 is readi_ 4.8 volts, 1-2 is reading 4.8 volts, 1-4 is reading 4.8, 1-6 4.5, And 2-1 4.8. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. Roger. Those - I got th_m all.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We're ready for you to start your waste-water dump at this time. Over.
CMP: Roger. Dumping.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We show you - -
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. We've dumped to 45 percent, $nd we're stopping now. Do you concur?
CC: _oger, 11. We concu3'.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. I can read up your forecast weather for the recovery any time you'd like to hear about it. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. Present forecast shows acceptable conditions in your recovery area: 2000-foot scattered, high scattered, wind from 070 degrees, 13 knots, visibility 10 miles, and sea state about 4 feet. The forecast yesterday showed a tropical storm, Claudia, some 500 to 1000 miles east of Hawaii. The - the pictures from Earth satellites taken yesterday afternoon - afternoon showed Claudia dissipating, so this appears to be even less a factor than it was before. Your recovery area is now believed to be just a little ways north of the intertropical convergence zone, which you can probably see when you look out your windows there. Yesterday there was also a report of a tropical storm, Viola, further to the west. Its present location is some thousand miles east of the Phillipines and moviDg north- west. Tropical storm Viola has been i_t_, iFy- ing, and should be transferr_ to the lyph,J_n category within the next 12 iic_rs or scl; how< v r, that will be far to your west. As a m_tter of fact, sunrise terminator has rot yet r_ ached Viola. When it does several hours from now, can your you probably distinguish it from view- point quite readily. As a matter of fact it should be of interest to perhaps take some pictures. Comment on it when you get s chance to see Viola in a few hours. So that's a_out the present weather state and situation for your recovery area. Over.
CMP: That sounds pretty good ...
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Over,
CC: 11, Houston. We'd like to try operation with the high-gain array here. If you would select reacquire and your S-band antenna to HIGH GAIN, your positions are pitch plus 40 and yaw 270, and then monitor for acquisition. Over.
CMP: Okay. It's in work.
CC: 11, Houston. We're Just now ready to switch frc_ OMNI Delta over to your high-gain antenna. Can you confirm that you have gone to REACQ? Over.
CMP: Confirmed.
CC: That looks real good, Mike. Looks like we picked strength. up about 30 dB on the signal
CMP: Yes. It came in quite quickly. However, I'm showing about 2_0 yaw and about zero on pitch, nov.
CC: Roger. About 240 and 0.
CC: Ap_[Jo J l, l{ou_;ton. Over.
CC: Roger. Just wanted to make sure you fellows hadn't gone back to sleep again. And I also have a little bit of late news here :Lfyou'd like to find out what's happened in vhe last 12 - 14 hours. Over.
CC: Okey doke. Hot off the press here: We find Juan Carlos was formally designated yesterday - Tuesday - to become General Franco's successor - as the Chief of State of Spain and eventual King. Juan Carlos will be sworn in voday :_s his successor designate afte" taking an _ath of loyalty to the law and t._a Nationtl Move- ment, Spain's only legal political organiza- tion. He will apparently be called the Prince of Spain.
CC: House Ways and Means Committee also has agreed yesterday to tax changes affecting oil companies, also banks and utilities, which could add as much as 2 billion dolla?s per year to the federal revenue. The c_mmittee also voted tentatively to change the account- ing procedures for telephone, electric, gas, and oil pipeline companies and to reduce tax benefits of mutual savings and loan institu- tions. So, it looks as if tax reform mat be on the way.
CC: Looking overseas, we find South Korea's first super highway, linking Seoul with the Port of Inchon, has been named the Apollo Highway to commemorate your trip. I think we mentioned last night that President Nixon has already started on his round-the-world trip, and today he is in San Francisco on his first stop which will take him to the U.S.S. Hornet, from which he'11 watch the return of your spacecraft. He plans to visit seven nations including Rumania during this trip. He, as I think ycu also knew, had to miss the Ail Star baseball game yester- day, as it was rained out; but it is being played today.
CC: The West Coast residents in Seattle, Washing- ton; Portland, Oregon; Vancouver, British Columbia; and San Francisco all plan to make their areas visible to the three of you by lighting their lights between 9 pm and mid- night tonight, according to the Asso_ia+=d Press. We do have clear weather predicted there, so you may be able to see Christmas lights, porch lights, store lights, and whatever may be turned on.
CC: A little closer to home here, back i 1 Memphis,, young Tennessee, a lady who is prese ltly tip- ping the scales at 8 pounds, 2 ounce _, was named "Module" by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Lee McGhee. "It wasn' _ my id_a_" _ _ Mrs. McGhee, "It was my hus _ nd'_." She sa_d she had balked at the name _nar Mod _ie McGh_ e, because it didn't sound too good, but apparently they have compromised on just Modula. Over.
CC: Roger. Hear a few chuckles coming from that direction. And we do have a late report on the sports here also. The Ail Star game cur- rently being played. The present score at _he end of the fourth inning has the National League leading the American League hy 9 to 3 So the hitters are having a good day, you can tell.
CC: And rain clouds are over the MSC area at the moment. It began raining here just about and 10 minutes ago, last report, we were havi_g a pretty heavy deluge. So, that's Jt from th_ news front for the afternoon here, Apollo 11. Over.
CDR: Thank you very mucl, Owen. I think my yard could use some water.
CC: That's very true. I've forgotten exactly how many days it did go, Buzz, but something like 30 days without rain; and we can aprreciate the rain we're getting right now.
UNKNOWN: That was Nell. This is Buzz, here. I wi:;h we could find out when the last time my lawn was cut. Over.
CMP: That might be a little more difficul% to find out. I'm not sure whether the - whether Mike is ready to admit when he last did the job, but I'11 look into that for you.
CMP: Well, he'11 tell you. He's got a new mower.
CMP: Hey, ask my chinch bugs how they're toing?
CC: Well, I'm not sure about your's. I _an let you know about my own, and the repori_ isn't very good.
CC: Roger. Joan wasn't home right now, :Buzz, but Janis reports the grass is gettiag pretty high, and I would estimate that it's going to be close to your knees by the time you get out of quarantine. Over.
LMP: Okay. I'11 have to schedule a little discus- sion after I get back.
CC: Roger. And no reports - no report from the chinch bugs there, Mike.
CMP: Well, they're sort of taciturn little fellows. They don't say much; they just chomp away.
CC: Concur on that.
CMP: Which _s about what we're doing up here.
CC: We concur on that, too.
CMP: Breakfast was magnificent as usual. I had sliced peaches, sausage patties, two cups of coffee, and I forget all what else.
CC: That does sound pretty good. As a matter of fact, I'm way overdue for a meal myself, here. I could use some of that.
CMP: Why don't you get Milt to give you 5 minutes off and grab a hamburger?
CC: I suggested that awhile ago. He was pointing Ve've out about the weight problem here. got to keep the calories low, so I'd better stand by without it.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. We've been doin_ a little flight planning for Apollo 12 up her._.
CMP: We're trying to calculate how much s_,agb t*' and meatballs we can get on _ _ard fe
CC: I'm not sure the spacecraft 11 tak,_ that l: h extra weight. Have you made any est_imates?
CMP: It'11 be close.
CC: 11, Houston. The medics at the next console report that the shrew is one animal 'rh_ch csu eat six times its own body weight every 24 hours. This may be a satisfactory base linc for your spaghetti calculations on A1 Bean. Over.
CMP: Okay. Thank you. That's in work.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. It was slightly aolder i_ here last night than it has been on any previ- ous night. Does EECOMM notice any e lange in his data or any explanation for that ? ve
CC: Roger. Stand by j_st a moment. We' got to check some temperalures.
CMP: Up until last nigh_ it was - if anyt ling, little on the warm side at night. L _st night it was on the chilly side.
CC: Roger there. We'11 run down the temoeratures for the 2 nights.
CMP: Oh, it':; rio big thiag. Ju:;t as a matt(:z' o1' interest.
CMP: And how'd you like the commalld module RCS temperatures ?
CC: 11, Houston. They all look very good. The lowest temperature was 40 degrees, and we're taking a look at your cabin temperat_ires now.
CMP: We agree on the CM RCS. No heaters are goin 2 to be required by a country mile.
CC: We think that's correct. wor!_'_-
CMP: We don't like those heaters, anyway, off the direct coils.
CMP: Peculiar thing, Owen, on the platform align- ment is that when I really take my t [me ana do a very slow, careful, precise job of marking. I'm getting about the same star angle differ- ence as when I'm doing it in DTC and have bo do a hurried rush job with relatively poor tracking. Star angle differences seem insens L- tire. It almost made me believe there's a very small bias there somewhere in the sextant.
CC: Roger, 11. Perhaps the 3 degrees per secoi_i just isn't that much of a bother. Over.
LMP: Well, he's really trying to explain qhy he can't get all zeros.
CMP: I think Buzz is probably right. As a matter of fact, one time I made a mark which I thoug't was a little bit in error, but I tho aght, "W,_[i, and heck. I'11 go ahead see how it _orks oat anyway," and I got five zeros that time. And when I have thought everything was e cactly precisely on, I have consistently be_n getting 0.01.
CC: Roger. Apparently it pays to hurry.
CMP: I usually do.
CMP: The visibility through the telescope has been very poor. It's, I would say, even worse than the simulator is right now. It requires long periods of dark adaptation which most times are most inconvenient; so it's really a tremen- dous asset to keep the platform powered up at all times and to keep it tweaked within the capability of the sextant field of vJ ew.
CC: Understand, Mike.
CC: 1t, Houston. Checking your temperat wes, it does look like the spacecraft may havre cooled down perhaps 2 or 3 degrees in the 1 _st 24 hours, and that sounds to be consiste, _ with your report on the com_ st leve ther _ Over.
CDR: Is that a LM-off phenomenon?
CC: 11, Houston. It looks like we'11 have to think a little more about that, as to whether it's a I_-off or some effect of being out of Lunar orbit. We don't know, so we'11 have to puzzle before we can give a better answer.
CMP: Well, if the systems guys have anything they want chased down, we'11 be happy to give you any readings or reports or what have _ou.
CC: Roger. We'11 think about that and see if there aren't some other tests to be useihllly performed here.
CC: 11, Houston. I'11 be turning things over to the Green CAP COMM at this time, and see you on the ground tomorrow. Purple/Maroon whole group there for a good job helping Apollo 11.
LMP: Thanks from us to all of you. It was really appreciated.
CMP: Great job, you guys.
CC: Roger, out.
CC: 11, this is Houston. With reference to your subjective evaluation that it felt c_ol_'r 7_ side the spacecraft last night, we r?To_'teJ earlier that we did indeed _:_'ea drop} of ab.-_+. 3 degrees over the previous night. Jooking back, it appears the crew of Apollo LO repor_ _a similar feelings during the translunar and transearth coast phases. We're wondering i_ you could give us any indication of the relativ_ amounts of free or condensed water il the cabin last night and the night before from which we could infer humidity. Over.
CDR: Roger. That might be a little bit difficult to do. We'11 take a look at the tunnel now. It does seem as though, between the ilrt, we had a little bit more moisture in the tunnel. Of course, the LM hadn't been vented when we did translunar.
CC: Roger. We were more curious about the rela- tive amount of moisture between, say, last night and the night before, both of which would have the LM missing.
CMP: There's more moisture in the tunnel _low than there has been at any previous time. Sub- jectively we have been unable to determine any change in - any buildup in humid [ty. any There appears to be no moisture other place in the spacecraft. For exampla, the windows are not fogging or - and var [ous other cool spots around the spacecraft - aL1 of them dry. appear to be compl_tely
CMP: How are all the "Greens" today, Bruce?
CC: Oh, the Greens are in good shape. The actual Green Team has been here for several hours. We're dogging the watch down here to position Ron for entry. Over.
CMP: Roger. Understand. Did Dave Reed get to ex- plain the lunar ... at the _,e_s conference?
CC: No, but your comments about _ Shal'fer and the explanations were quoted in the paper last night.
CMP: Oh, oh.
CC: Do you want to say anything more while you'r_ on the line?
CMP: He's right. He's absolutely right.
CMP: How's old White, Bruce? Did he ever let you go get a cup of coffee when we were over on the back side?
CC: Oh, things have been going pretty smoothly down here. He's really not that hard to get along with.
CMP: Oh, he must be mellowing.
CC: We've only got two of them back here zight now.
CMP: Re always used to make me sit at the console through the back-side passes, just for training.
CC: Well, the word we have here is - that was be- cause whenever you came back, you had to be retrained.
CMP: Touch_.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Out of curiosit_ _, on those 70-mm cameras, we figure we e_osed around 300 in the LM and around a th_usand in the command module; and both cameras - or all the 70-mm cameras worked just fine.
CC: Okay. Very good. Thank you.
CC: 11, this is Houston. Do you all have 'Change Lima" for your entry operations checkl [st dated July 23? Over.
CDR: Dated when?
CC: July 23.
CDR: I'm not sure that we hung around long mough to pick that one up.
CC: Okay. If you've got the entry operations cheek- list handy, then I'11 pass it up to yoi. Over.
CDR: How can you make changes after' lift-of ??
CMP: You sure you don't mean June?
CC: Negative. It just came up today. Over.
CMP: So, you're the first to get to us. Go ahead.
CC: Okay. On page 6-1 of the entry-out checklist down toward the bottom after "MAIN DEPLOY push- button," we have three additional steps we'd like you to accomplish. The intent of this is to reduce the oxygen pressure in your msnifold and to eliminate the oxygen bleed flow through the potable and waste-water tanks durin2 descent. Over.
CMP: Okay. We've got 6-1 out. Go ahead.
CC: Okay. Down at the bottom, you've got "10 000 feet MAIN PARACHUTE DEPLOY, MAIN DEPLOY pushbutton, PUSH within i second." And after that step, we'd like you insert "SURGE TANK 02 valve, OFF; RE- PRESS PACKAGE valve, OFF; and DIRECT 02 valve, OPEN." Do you copy?
CMP: Okay. Down at the bottom, after "MAIN DEPLOY pushbutton, PUSH; SURGE TANK 02, OFF; and RE- PRESS PACKAGE VALVE, OFF, DIRECT 02 , O:[." Over.
CC: Roger. And then down at the very botton of page 6-2 where you see "DIRECT 02, OFF ;ERIFY," delete that step completely. Over.
CC: And for record purposes, this will be "]hange Lima." Over.
CMP: Okay. We've got it. How far open do y)u want this the DIRECT 02 valve to be opened a; this point? I guess you want it - just leav._ [t open from that point on?
CC: Roger. It should go all the way open, md you can just leave it on I¥om that point on. The intent is to completely depressurize th ._oxygen manifold. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. For your i lformatJoo the All Star game has just ended with tae Nat: nal League winning 9 to 3 over American. O_er.
CC: And I have a message here for Mike that says "All the chinch bugs are gone." Over.
CMP: Having done their job I guess.
CC: Well, along with one tree, it turns out.
CMP: Yes. I heard about that. That was right before the flight.
CC: Right. That big storm.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Are you still up there? Over.
CC: Roger. We concur. We just wanted to make sure that we had good COMM with you.
CC: For general information, 11, you are ncw 95 970 miles out from the Earth. Over.
CDR: Right in our own back yard.
LMP: Trying to come down hill a little bit now. What's our velocity?
CC: Your velocity is 5991 feet per second.
CC: And you are indeed c_ing dowr hill.
CC: Roger, 11. I've got a flight plan update for you to give you an optimum attitude for the Earth in the number 1 window and the Moon in number 5 window. Over.
CC: Roger. Your attitude will be roll 12 degrees, pitch 270 degrees, yaw 0 degrees. High-gain antenna angles, pitch plus 14, yaw 263. Over.
CMP: Roger. I copy. Roll 012, pitch 270, yaw 0. High-gain antenna, pitch plus 14 and yaw 263.
CC: Roger. And when coming out of PTC, you might be advised that your deadband has been collapsed, so follow the checklist items. Over.
CC: 11, this is Houston. We're receiving a black signal from you right now, but we are getting TV. Over.
CC: From signal strength indications, it appears that we may be locked up on a side lobe with a high-gain antenna. We'd like you to go into wide bandwidth for about 15 seconds and then back to narrow. Over.
CDR: You have good S-band signal strength now, Houston?
CC: That's affirmative, ]1.
CDR: You all set for TV?
CC: Roger. We're all set whenever you're ready to send.
CC: Okay. You're coming through loud and clear now, 11, with your patch.
CDR: Good evening. This is the Commander of Apollo 11. A hundred years ago, Jules Verne wrote a book Columbia, took off from Florida and landed in the Pacific Ocean after completing a trip to the Moon. It seems appropriate to us to share with you some of the reflections of the crew as the modern-day Columbia completes its ren- about a voyage to the Moon. His spaceship, dezvous with the planet Earth and the same Pacific Ocean tomorrow. First, Mike Collins.
CC: 11, this is Houston. We have an LOS here.
CDR: We'11 he right back with you.
CC: In the interim, you may be interested in knowing that Jan and the children and Pat and the young- Andy sters and Aldrin are down here in the viewing room watching this evening.
CDR: We're glad to hear tkat.
CC: Okay, 11. You're back on, with Mike in the middle of the screen there.
CMP: Roger. This trip of ours to the Moon may have looked, to you, simple or easy. I'd like to assure you that has _ot been the case. The Saturn V rocket which put us into orbit is an incredibly complicated piece of machinery, every piece of which worked flawlessly. This computer up above my head has a 38 000-word vocabulary, each word of which has been very carefkllly chosen to be of the utmost value to us, the crew. This switch which I have in my hand now, has over 300 counterparts in the command module alone, this one single switch design. In add::tion to that, there are myrisds of circuit bre_,kers, levers, rods, and other associated con.rols. The SPS engine, our large rocket engine on the aft end of our service module, must have performed flaw- lessly, or we would have been stranded in lunar orbit. The parachutes up above my heaa must work perfectly tomorrow or we will plur_net into the ocean. We have always ha(3 confidence that all this equipment will work, and work proper_y, and we continue to have confidence that it will do so for the remainder of the flight. Ail this is possible only through the blood, sweat, and tears of a number of people. First, the American workmen who put these pieces of machinery to- gether in the factory. Second, the painstaking work done by the various test te_m_ during the assembly and retest after assembly. And finally, the people at the Manned Spacecraft Center, both in management, in mission planning, in flight control, and last, but not least, in crew training. This operation is somewhat like the periscope of a submarine. Ail you see is the three of us, but beneath the surface are thousands _uad thou- sands of others, and to all those, I would like to say, thank you very much.
CC: 11, this is Houston. We're getting a _;ood picture of Buzz now, but no voice modulation. And would you open up the f-stop on the TV camer_; try 22, please?
CC: That appears to be a lot better now. %Ye're still not receiving Buzz's audio.
LMP: Good evening. I'd like to discuss with you a few of the more symbolic aspects of the flight of our mission, Apollo 11. As we've been dis- cussing the events that have taken place in the past 2 or 3 days here on board our spacecraft, we've come to the conclusion that this has been far more than three men on a voyage to the Moon; more, still, than the efforts of a government and industry team; more, even, than the efforts of one nation. We feel that this stands as a symbol of the insatiable curiosity of all mankind to explore the unknown. Nell's statement the other day upon first setting foot on the surface of the Moon, "This is a small step for a man, but a great leap for mankind," I believe sum_ up these feelings very nicely. We accepted the challenge of going to the Moon; the acceptance oJ this challenge was inevita01e. The relatiw ease with which we carried out our mission, I be._ieve, is a tribute to the timeliness of that act eptance. Today, I feel we're f_lly capable of accepting expanded roles in the exploration of stace. In retrospect, we have all been particularly pleased with the call signs that we very laboriously chose for our spacecraft, Columbia and Eagle. We've been particularly pleased with the emblem of our flight, depicting the U.S. eagle bringing the universal symbol of peace from the Earth, from the planet Earth to the Moon; that symbol being the olive branch. It was our overall crew choice to deposit a replica of this symbol on the Moon. Personally, in reflecting on the events of the past several days, a verse from Psalms comes to mind to me. "When I consider the heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars which Thou hast ordained_ what is man that Thou art mindful of him."
CDR: The responsibility for this flight lies first with history and with the giants of science who have preceded this effort; next with the American people, who have thr<,ugh their will, indicated their desire; next, _ o four administrations, and their Congresses, fol' implementing that will; and then, to the agel_cy and industry teams that built our spacecraft_ the Saturn, the Columbia, the Eagle, and the 1 ttle EMU, the space suit and backpack that wa._,our small spacecraft out on the lunar surfacer We would like to give a special thanks to al:[ those Americans who built the spacecraft, who aid the construction, design, the tests, and put their - their hearts and all their abilities into those crafts. To those people, tonight, we give a special tha:zk you, and to all the other people that are listening and watching tonight_ God bless you. _ Good night from Apollo 11.
CC: 11, this is Houston. We're getting a _oom view out the window now.
CDR: Apollo 11, signing off.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Do you want to crank up PTC again; do you hare some reason to hold its attitude, or what's ) our pleasure?
CC: You can crank up PTC again, Mike, any ;ime you like. And I might ccd I thought that _as a mighty fine TV presertation. There's :ertainly nothing I can add to it from down here.
CC: Okay, 11. I've got a few small items here: one flight plan update and some entry photography information, if you are ready to copy. Over.
CC: Roger. At 180 hours 50 minutes GET, we should like to delete your oxygen fuel cell purge.
CC: And on the entry photography, if you sre going to use a fresh magazine of color interior film, we recommend the following exposure settings: fll at 1/250, six frames per second, focus on 7 feet for the fireball; f2.0, 1/60 of a second, six frames per second, focus on QO feet when the chutes open. If you are using a magazine, part of which has already been used for int_=rior shots, we recommend fl6 at 1/500 of a second, six frames per second, focus on 7 feet for the fireball; f2.8, 1/60 of a second, six frames per second, focus on 50 feet when the parachutes open. And we would _%ike to know the magazine number that you are intending to use if you have a chance. Over.
CMP: Okay. I think we got those. We will be using a fresh one and it will be color inter[or. Over.
CC: Roger. When you get - get it out, we would like to have the number of the magazine and the letter of the magazine relayed down.
CDR: Okay. And we're thir_king that we might want to run some of that at 12 frames per second. And I think we can get everything from 0.5 - 0.5g down; that will only give us about 7.8 minutes and ... frames ... dcuble that. I guess maybe just an occasional burst to 12 frames would be what we want and the rest of it at six. Over.
CC: This is Houston. Thst plan sounds fin_ with us, Neil.
CC: And lastly, we would like to know if your stowage configuration for entry is going to co_form to the nominal. The RETRO's down here are anxious to get an accurate c.g. computed for you, and in particular, where the LEVVA's are being stowed. Over.
CDR: Okay. We think we are going to put the LEWA's and helmets in the hatch bag, and we'11 let you know any other nonstandard stowage locations that we complete this evening.
CDR: Roger. The magazine we'11 be using for entry tomorrow is magazine M. Over.
CC: Roger. Understand. Magazine M as in Mike.
CC: Thank you. Out.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Your friendly Green Team going off for the night, and going off for the last time[ We wish to bid you a good night and Godspeed.
CDR: Thank you. We appreciate all that fine work done by the Green Team, and we'11 be thanking you in person when we get back.
CC: Roger. We'11 see you on the ground.
LMP: Really enjoyed working with all of you. _lanks very much. Over.
CMP: As usual, all you Greenies.
CC: They're all smiles down here, even the trenc] .
UNKNOWN: Houston, Apollo 11. ,
CMP: Roger. How's our thruster firing activity? We're about ready to crank up PTC if you are.
CC: 11, we'd like you to shift to an OMNI ,_ntenna configuration at the present time. Wa're re- switca questing the S-band antenna OMNI to Bravo and the S-band antenna OMNI switch to OMNI. The high-gain antenna track in '_NUAL. Pitch minus 50, yaw 270. Over.
LMP: Roger. I'11 do that right now.
CC: Roger. And if Mike has a minute, we'_ like to do a little bit of troubleshooting. It seems he's either flat-chested or something because we've lost respiration rate on the BIffED telemetry. That is, the ZPN trace do_n here is flat.
LMP: _ ife was shavirl/{a little bit ago. fiemJ_[i_thave just let it slip. Hold on a moment.
CMP: Ail the blasted wires are all connect(d, is all I know.
CC: Okay, Mike. We had a request that yo_ disconnect. the yellow connector from the signal conditioner and verify that it looks okay, reconnect it and then, if you would, check the two electrodes that are placed one on each side of your lower rib cage. Over.
CDR: I bet you there's a smile on Charlesw_rth's face.
CC: Cliff is not on right now. Gene Kranz just re- lieved him a few minutes ago.
CMP: Ail those wires and things look normal up here.
CC: Roger, Mike. We could see variations on our traces. You've connected and disconnected, but the medics still don't have a signal.
CC: Looks like you're sending us a message of some sort.
CMP: Well, I promise to let you know if I stop breathing.
CC: Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston broad- casting in the blind. Request OMNI Bravo. Request OMNI Bravo. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Communication reestablished.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Will you confirm you're in OMNI Bravo? Over.
LMP: Okay. That ought to give it to you.
CC: Apollo 1t, this is Houston. Mike, we're still getting a flat trace on you for the impedance pneumograph. Before you turn in this evening, you might try putting some fresh paste in the sensors, and if that doesn't work, the medics have agreed to forget about it. Over.
CDR: Mike's off the loop right now. I'11 convey that message.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Say again.
CC: Roger, Mike. The trace on your respi'ation rate is still flat. If you have time this evening before turning in, we would slggesb that you try putting some fresh paste in the two electrodes that go on the side of your !owe_ rib cage; and if that doesn't work, j_st g_ve up on it.
CDR: (Sound of Train)
CC: Hey, 11, this is Houston. You might tell Buzz not to exercise quite so strenuously. Over.
CC: Okay. That's one - that's one on us. (Laughter
CC: 11, Houston. Seriously, that comment was just aimed at your musica] selection.
CDR: (Sound of train)
CMP: Come on Neil, not so fast.
CMP: You have an ergometer up here.
CC: What was that? Real time exercise?
CMP: Just trying to be your ergometer.
CC: Apollo 11_ this is Houston. Over.
CC: We'd like to know what your plans are as far as turning in this evening. Our - in the flight plan we show you co_nencing a rest period at about 182 hours, and what are you plannSng to do on that? We're going to be watching the weather here, and we expect to have an update on the weather, I guess, in about half hour or 45 minutes to pass to you. Over.
CDR: We're going to probably stick with the flight plan pretty much. We are going to - i::'- check the lights in the northwest corner of the U.S. and southwest corner of Canada. If we can see up that high into the northern hemisphere. Other than that, we'11 be on the flight plan.
CC: Roger. For your information, the laser from McDonald Observatory in West Texas will be up from about 181 hours and 30 minutes, on for 1 hour. You should be able to spot the earth out of the number 1 window every time you pass roll 357 degrees and then, of course, Mou're in West Texas. Over.
CMP: How about the number 5 window?
CC: Roger. For the number 5 window. That'11 be - every time you pass 230 degrees in roiL. Over.
CMP: Beautiful. Thank you.
CMP: You guys are on your toes down there.
CDR: You have a new, new star chart. You must have a new, new star chart. Huh?
CC: Oh, we got a fresh, fresh FAO here.
CDR: Houston, Atlollo 11. How much longer do you want us to keep charging battery B?
CC: 11, this is Houston. Nominally we're looking for about another hour and a half, but what we'd like to do is continue charging until shcrtly before you turn in for the night. Over.
CDR: That'11 be fine. Are you going to want to charge A again at all?
CC: Negative, 11.
CC: 11, this is Houston. At about 180 45, _e'11 be handing over from Goldstone to Honeysuckle, and I'm handing over to Charlie. See you waen you get back. Over.
CDR: Okay, Bruce. Good night. Thank you.
CMP: Thank you very much, Bruce. It's been a pleas- ute working with you.
CC: Have a nice trip down.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Go ahead.
CMP: Roger, Houston. For RETRO, I have the antic- ipated location of all the entry stowage, and I suggest you pull out the entry checklist, and we'11 go through those maps in the front of it.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Could you stand b M just a few minutes? Charlie and Flight are out getting a weather briefing. They'11 be back shortly.
CMP: Is this Ken?
CMP: Is this Owen?
CC: No, this is Chuck Lewis. Charlie Duke is out with Flight getting a weather briefing right now.
CMP: Okay. They're out &_inking coffee. I know.
CC: (Laughter) They'11 be back momentarilj.
CMP: Roger, Houston. Apollo 11. Did you get the word on the entry checklist?
CC: Roger, Mike. We sure did. We're ready to talk about it, if you are. Over.
CMP: I think the quickest thing is to go through page by page, the first part of the entry checklist where it h_ a map. Starting on the page with compartment 12 and 13. Ire you with me?
CC: Roger. With you.
CMP: Okay. 12 is as sho_. 13 is as show_; there is about half the food remaining in 13.
CMP: Where it says - where it says "And note," the CMP PGA is located in the L-shaped bag with the other two PGA's. The LM shield was jettisoned with the - Correction, the CMP's helmet shield was Jettisoned with the I34, and his he]met and gloves, instead of being in the sleep restraint, are in the hatch bags.
CC: Okay. Let's see now. Your PGA is in the L-shaped bag with the other two PGA's, and your helmet and gloves are in the L-shaped tag instead of the sleep restraint.
CMP: The helmet and gloves are in the hatch bag, the great big bag that's underneath the leS't-hand couch that you put the hatch in.
CC: Roger. I thought I - That's what I cotied. Okay. Go ahead.
CMP: Okay. The next page is identical except a nit- picking point: out Ri we got the entr_* check- list. Other than that it is identical, and the third page has got some changes.
UNKNOWN: In A1 - Are you with me? I'm over there in compartment Al, now.
CC: Go ahead, Mike. Over.
CMP: In compartment Al, the 16-millimeter ma_azine will be located in window number 4 instead of 5. Tissue dispensers; there is only on_ of them left. And compartment U3, the 16- millimeter bracket is on window 4, and the PGA bag - add the CMP's PGA, plus add two L]G's. And compartment A8 delete two LCG's, add one PPK, making a total of four, and add 10 pounds of I24miscellaneous equipment. We told you five the other day. We think ten is probab_r closer. Over.
CMP: And that's all the ch_nges on that page. Ready for the next page?
CC: Roger. Go ahead, Mike.
CMP: On your next page, _n compartment B1, we esti- mate about 15 percent of that food is remaining. In B2 we took PPK out of there and put trash in it. In B3, the t6-millimeter cable, the 18- millimeter lens, and the right-angle mirror are on window number 4. And that there brings you all up-to-date.
CC: Roger. How about the LEVVA's, Mike? _here did you put those? Over.
CMP: They're in the hatch bag.
CC: Roger. Stand by. Our only concern, 1[ , is with the stuff you got in the hatch bag. _at's pretty big bulk between you and A8, an,. we'd like to talk about moving that over to the sleep restraint. If you will stand by. I'11 verify that. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. Our recommendation on the gear you got in the helmet bag - correction_ hatch bag, would be to remo_e that stuff and put it in the sleep restraint under the right couch. The reason is that the hatch bag straps are only configured for zero g, and it is s pretty difficult job getting it lashed down. With the gear in the sleep resvraint, it's a pretty standard lash-down procedure_ and you could also use tile Beta cord that you have on hoard. You concur? Over.
CMP: Yes. We'11 look at it, Charlie, and let you know.
CC: Roger. And I got a couple of other thi2_gs, Mike. We need to terminate battery B charge ay this time, and also, the weather is clobbering in at our targeted landing point due to scatt_._red thunderstorms. We don't want to tangle w_th one of those, so we are going to move the - your aim point uprange. Ccrrection, it will be downrange, to target for 1500-nautical-i ile entry so we can guarantee uplift control. The aew coordinates are 13 degrees, 19 minul es north, 169 10 minutes west. _he weather in that area is super. We got 2000 scattered, 8000 _cattered sith 10 miles visibility and 6-foot se_ and the Hornet is sitting [n great position to get lo that targeted posit [on. Over. Page _02
CC: Apollo 11_ Houston. Some of the general last minute updates here. On the entry, we had told you on the camera to set _t at OO t'eet. It turns out the biggest number on the can'ara is 25 feet, so just set it at infinity. Over.
CMP: Roger. Infinity.
