CC: Okay, FAO would like to know about when Stu took the S-IVB pictures and how much - you got remaining on that sequence camera MAG. order but using pretty much the same procedures as that dim light. However, I think I'm going to end up with streaks on the film because you know the way the CMC tracks the objects; but at 57 hours even, I took - I ran 2 seconds at 5/100th. 24 frames per second, Then I took one 1/60th frame at for 20 seconds, one frame at 1/60th for 5. And then at 57:20, I took one 1/60th frame at for 50 seconds and had to cut it off there; I couldn't get a full minute. And then ran off another strip, and I'm calling it 78 percent left on the magazine.
CC: Got a little configuration change for you on panel 226. We'd like to get 02 TANK 50-WATT HEATER, number 3, MAIN A, open.
CMP: Okay. Let's run that again now. It's 02, the 50-WATT HEATER on 02 TANK 2.
CC: Negative. 02 , 3, MAIN A. 3 MAIN A, Stu. And th_ reason is, they want to look at a couple of cycles - with just two elements of the heaters going rather than three.
CMP: Okay. So on 02 TANK 3, we pull the MAIN A 50-WATT HEATER.
CC: That's affirm. And we'11 stay with that configura- tion through the evening, so they can get at least three or four cycles on it.
CC: Okay. There's a request from down here to run through a little four-step exercise in having A1 check his electrode leads and see if we can find anything early here, so we got time to do some- thing about it before you'11 get around to the suiting up part of it. And I guess that's at Al's convenience in the next few hours, whenever he thinks he can work it in, maybe.
LMP: 0keydoke. We're finishing up lunch right now. Let A1 think it over and see when he wants to try to do it.
CC: Okay. We're ready to terminate charge on battery B.
CC: Okay, 14, stand by i until I get a little better comm. I - I can hardly read you now.
CDR: Okay, read you loud and clear. This is Al. I understand you -'you're still having a problem with my sensors.
CC: Negative, Al. The situation is - you did have the problem for launch, and then it mysteriously went away. And what they'd like is a visual inspection of the gear to see if we have anything that looks abnormal that we might think about fixing at this time, rather than wait until Just before suit-up time, where we'd like to not fiddle with anything.
CDR: I have - I've checked all the sensors, Fredo. They all seem to be firmly in place. They don't appear to have moved. I did have some garble in the gober cable at one time, and that has been changed and now you can compare gober cables. That might have made the difference. I can switch back to that and take a check on that one if you want to.
CC: No, that - I don't think that's necessary. I might Just tell you what they had in mind here and see if you - kind of covered all of the - the places they wanted you to check. Around each of the electrodes, they wanted to know if you had any of the paste that appeared to leak out that you could see stain under the large round pieces of tape you got over them, was the first item. Then, another inspection thing was to look at the solder Joints, that's the areas that had the little plastic sleeves over them, to see if you could see anything that appeared to be cracked or coming loose in there. And I guess the last inspection item was and the - in your biobelt to check that the top bottom connectors on the blue - the little blue EKG signal conditioner was all tight.
CDR: Okay. We have one that appears to have leaked a little hit. It's the bottom one on the sternum.
CC: Okay, the bottom one on the sternum. Okay, and I guess the only other square, which should be pretty easy to fill here, A1 - he's looking at your data now- is to sequentially put some firm pressure on each of the three sensors for about 10 seconds, giving a call down when you're applying the pressure.
CDR: Okay. Understand you're ready now?
CC: That's affirm. They're looking at your data now.
CDR: Okay, in the top section of the sternum, I am pressing down the one closest to the right shoulder, now.
CDR: And I'm releasing on that one, now.
CDR: On the top of the sternum, I'm pressing down the center one, now.
CDR: And releasing now.
CDR: Okay. And the bottom - on the bottom of the sternum, the one who appears to have leaked a little bit, I'm pressing down, now.
CDR: And releasing, now.
CC: Okay. I think that fills all the items I got here, Al.
CDR: Okay. This is Al, Houston. Understand that we're cleared to continue with the present harness and cable configuration.
CC: Yes. For the time being that - that's the word, Al. But they're going to look at the data. I guess the bottom one you pushed on showed more and change than the others, I - they're going to look at it awhile and decide if they want to do anything about that bottom one, I guess.
CC: 14, Houston. I can barely make you out there. Go ahead.
CC: Okay, 14. Houston. You should be all right now. Go ahead.
LMP: Okay, Fredo. Inquiring about the LM/command module DELTA-P pass at 59 hours, is that number 2.7 still good since we have already been in the LM and had a problem with our probe?
CC: 14, Houston. The answer is the 2.7 number is a good one.
LMP: Roger. Roger.
CDR: Apollo 14. We have the null bias check, if you're ready to copy.
CC: Okay. Go ahead, Al.
CDR: At the end of the 100 seconds, it was reading
CDR: Houston, 14. 02 heaters configured per flight plan?
CC: Okay, Al. First, we got some words for you on the - replacing this lower ECG sensor, and it'11 be Just taking it off and cleaning it and replacing the same one.
CC: Okay. The materials that you're going to be need- ing are all in the medical kit over in R-8, and what you'11 need is one of those large pieces of tape and one of the rings - rings that fit on the sensor. And the paste that's in the plastic bottle. And all these are in the kit.
CC: Okay. And you can do this at your convenience, Al. There are Just a couple of things that we wanted to make sure you get cautioned on. I'11 go ahead and go through the procedures here and if there's any- thing that you want gone over again, well, Just holler. First, remove the tape and the sensor, and clean your skin with one of the wet wipes. And then wipe the paste from the inside of the sensor. Wipe the sensor itself out first, and then pull off the old piece of tape. That's that double stickyback. It looks like that round, double stickyback Scotch tape. Pull that off after you've cleaned the sensor out. Then take the new ring, and pull off one of - one of the pieces of card- board on the ring, and put it on and leave the other side covered. Then put the - then put the paste in the sensor. And after you've got the paste in there level, pull the other side off so that its stickyback is showing and put it back on your - put it back on your skin then.
CDR: Okay. I understand. I'11 give you a call if I have any questions. That sounds pretty good.
CC: Okay. We'd like you to put off doing the water dump. In a little bit here, I'11 have the flight- plan update with some instructions to shoot some pictures when we have you do that.
LMP: Okay. You caught me Just in time. I was on my way to the dump valve now.
CC: Read your mind, Ed. Which dump was that? - -
CMP: Okay. Did you get the torquing angles, Houston?
CC: We got them.
LMP: Okay. I trust you're going to put if off until after we've finished with the LM and the TV show, et cetera. Is that right, Fredo?
CC: Yes. I think the pictures they're wanting are from the LM side.
CMP: And Fred, the time on that torquing was 59:41:10.
CC: Okay. 59:41:10.
CC: 14 to Houston.
CC: Hey, I got a flight-plan update for you here and a whole bunch of words on shooting the water from the LM.
CMP: Okay, go ahead. I'm ready for the flight-plan update.
CC: Okay. At 60 hours and 40 minutes where you've maneuvered a TV attitude, we need to change the roll angle to 069; and as a result of that, we also change the HIGH GAIN angles to minus 66, PITCH; and YAW, 105.
CMP: Okay, Fred. I got the HIGH GAIN angles of a minus 66 and 105; and say the new attitude for TV.
CC: Okay, it's - the only thing changed is the roll angle to 069, so it will be 069, 090, 000.
CMP: 069, 090, 000; minus 66, 105.
CC: Okay. Now - now some words on the water dump. Like to delay the waste water dump to 62 hours and 30 minutes rather than the 59:50 that it had pre- viously been set at.
CMP: Okay, I got it. Waste water dump at 62:30, and say after that.
CC: Okay, the after that was Just a scratch out the 59:50 you had before. Now some words on the - -
CC: - - on the camera operation. A1 and Ed should take over to the LM with them magazine F out of the B-8 cushion and borrow your 18-millimeter lens out of the command module.
CMP: Okay, and they'11 take m-gazine F out of B-8 and I guess I'11 let them borrow my 18 millimeter to take in the LM.
CC: Okay, Just might make sure they give it back to you. But when they get it over there they can stick it on the LM deck and - -
CMP: They'11 have to sign a receipt.
CC: - - Yes. And put the following settings required f/8, 1/250th, on the LM deck. 11 feet, and 24 frames a second.
CMP: Okay, put the 18 millimeter on the LM deck and set her up f/8, 1/250th, 11 feet, and 24 frames per second.
CC: Okay. And to run the camera, of course, they're going to need the SEQUENCE CAMERA circuit breaker closed, and that actually fits in pretty well if they Just do all this business right where that's called out on page 116, step 9, of the Activation List.
CMP: Okay. They'11 need the SEQUENCE CAMERA circuit breaker in and we're talking about page 116, step 9.
CC: Roger. And if that doesn't quite aline with the flight-plan time I give you, that 62:30, it isn't going to matter that much anyway.
CC: Okay. Now they need a cue from you, Stu, to let them know when you're going to start the dump. And what they'd like them to do is have the camera pointing through the docking window of the LM, the upper window, right at the vent and run it 20 sec- onds' worth at 24 frames.
CMP: Okay. They'11 boresight on the vent and run her 20 seconds at 24 frames.
CC: Okay, then they'd like to change the frame rate to one and run the camera for another 20 seconds.
CMP: Okay. Change to one frame per second and run 20 seconds.
CC: Okay. After that chore, they can rest a while and wait until you get down to the end of the water dump, Stu, and you can kind of give them the word when you're ready to shut her off. And then they'd like them to shoot the vent again at 24 frames a second for 10 seconds.
CMP: ... vent ...
CC: Stand by l, Stu, we got pretty bad comm now.
CC: And, Stu, how do you read me now?
CMP: Loud and clear, Fred.
CC: Okay. We left off with them shooting 24 frames for 10 seconds when you turn the valve off.
CC: Okay. Then they're to change the frame rate to one frame per second and run the camera for at least 60 seconds or until cloud particles are no longer visible. But I guess if neither of those two events happen in that time, they're not to run it longer than about 180 seconds' worth.
CC: In other words, they' re trying - they'd like to get a picture of the last drop distances.
CMP: Okay. They'11 change to one frame per second for at least 60 seconds or until no vent, and m,x time will be 180 seconds.
CC: Yes, that's it. Then the only thing else is, you can frisk them when they get back and mRke sure they got your 18-millimeter lens and the MAG F back across, and they should put the 10 millimeter back on the LM camera.
CMP: Roger. I'm having A1 sign a receipt for the com- mand module property in here before it leaves.
CC: And, 14, we're going to have site changeover here directly. We may lose you for a minute or so.
CC: And, 14; Houston. Radio check.
CC: Okay. I guess we've successfully did the switchover.
CMP: Okay, Fred. I'd like to question you here, since we've had this change in the flight plan, about going to the WIDE DEAD BAND here. If I do that, then it'11 be another mRneuver back to start the BAND, PTC, where if I stay NARROW DEAD I could be damping the rates when I got ready to start the PTC. Would you smoke that over there and see what you think about that?
CC: Okay. Stand by, Stu.
CC: Stand by, 14, until we get a little better comm.
CC: Okay, I thought I heard you call a while ago.
CC: Okay. I'm reading you about 3 by 3. Go ahead with your message.
CMP: Hello, Houston. Do you read 147
CDR: Okay, Fredo. We read you loud and clear.
CC: Okay. We got good signal strength again here.
CDR: Okay. You,re coming in now.
CMP: Okay, Fred. I didn't hear back from you and I wanted to get to the roll on this time around be- cause it'11 be too late the next one. So I'm go- lng to go ahead and go in the NARROW DEAD BAND. It looks to me like it would be - we'd save gas that way.
CC: Okay. He was still trying to crank out some num- bers to compare there, Stu.
LMP: Fredo. You've faded out again. We've lost you.
CC: How do you read now?
CC: 14, Houston. W'd like OMNI Alfa.
CC: And - Houston, 14. How do you read now?
CMP: Houston, this is 14. You're loud and clear.
CC: Okay. The NARROW DEAD BAND looks like it'11 save you a little gas there, Stu.
CMP: Okay. I didn't hear back from you so I wanted to catch the roll this time around. So I went ahead and went NARROW.
LMP: Houston. I'm on the HIGH GAIN right now. How do you read?
LMP: How's your PCM?
LMP: At this HIGH GAIN ANTENNA setting - I can - it will not switch over to NARROW DEAD BAND; apparently. I have as much signal strength at _EDIUM as I do in NARROW.
CC: Okay. We'11 think about that.
CC: Okay, 14; Houston. They'd like for you to stay in NARROW.
LMP: Roger. That's where I am.
LMP: Roger. We're in the process of pressurizing the LM now, as you can probably see. We're holding for the integrity check at this point. I have the television set up and I can turn it on at your command.
CC: Okay, Ed. Stand by on the TV, we'11 see if they're ready.
CC: Okay. They're all set up, Ed; you can turn it on any time.
LMP: Houston, I'm transmitting.
CC: Okay. We got the picture, Ed.
LMP: Roger, Houston. You should be able to recognize it. There 's the Commander 's number i window. There's its field of view at the moment. And Alan is up in the tunnel working the pressuriza- tion procedure. Stuart is coming up from under the Commander's seat - you can see his head starting to come into the field of view now - from stowing items down under the seat. Let's see if I can get a little better picture here for you.
CC: Yes. Stu's head looks pretty good in color there.
CMP: You mean that color wheel can handle red, Fredo?
CC: Yes. It seems to be doing a pretty good Job there. I noticed some speckles on the window there. Is that - did y'all end up with a little debris on there?
LMP: We have a few ice crystals, apparently, that have adhered to it from the various dumps we've made.
CMP: You know, Fredo, that window was clean as all get out until we started all the dumping.
LMP: Houston. We're continuing the pressurization pro- cedure. We've just opened up the pressurization valve between the two spacecraft. And we're flowing into the LM from the command module. Give picture you a if you can see it here. There's our cabin pressure gage, shows your quantity as Let's well. see if I can get it in view. little right
CC: A dark and out of focus there now, Ed.
LMP: Yes. It's a little too close.
CC: Yes. That's a little better, I can now see the - your little card there showing the antenna patterns. But the needles on the gage is a little hard to read.
LMP: We'11 give up on that, Fredo. Our pressure is equal between the command module and the LM, and we will start removing tunnel hardware at this point.
LMP: And, Houston, we're starting to shoot up into the tunnel here where - Alan Shepard is starting to pull the hatch out - if I can get him to look down for a minute and say hello to the world.
CC: Okay, Ed. I can see a form there that I guess is Al. It's - this picture is Just a little bit dark. You can see the lights up in the tunnel.
LMP: Roger. I think we'11 have Just a little bit more light once this hatch gets out of the way. We have all of our floodlights on full right now. While they're doing that, let's slide out to the CDR's window and take a look at the Moon, which happens to be right out the window.
LMP: Going to coach me a little bit, Fred, as I approach this?
CC: Okay, we can see it now; it's right down in the lower right quadrant of the window. The picture, though, we're seeing is a crescent, and it's really not showing too much of the detail, Ed.
CC: Okay. Assume you're zooming the camera now, Ed. And we lost the picture of the Moon.
LMP: Okay. Let me try it again.
CC: Okay. I think what happened when you zoomed, Ed, you ended up pointing above it.
LMP: Do you see anything now, Fredo?
CC: Okay, it Just disappeared out the lower right corner. We had it there for a little while.
LMP: Okay. How now?
CC: Okay. There, it barely came in the bottom portion of the picture now. Whereabouts is the terminator now? Is that about Tranquility, somewhere in there ?
LMP: It's past Tranquility, and I think it's - it's approaching zero longitude at this point, I believe.
CMP: A few hours ago we just passed Delta 'Tegnius [?], Fred.
CC: Yes. Right, Stu.
CMP: Roger. It - I was looking through the sextant there just a minute ago. It - all of Descartes - around Descartes and the Highlands showed up real well and the terminator had Just moved on over just past Platte [?].
CC: Okay. And for your information, in the audience in the back here, we have most of the family in tonight - this morning down here, I should say.
CMP: Yes. 3:15 is a good time of night to have a TV show.
CC: Prime time. Yes, that's about right in the center of the picture now.
LMP: Okay. I've got full zoom on it, Fredo. And maybe it's too bright. Let's see if I can darken it. It'11 improve the picture a little.
CC: Yes, you're right. It's so bright, Ed, we're - we have the crescent, but not too much detail on.
CC: Yes, that's a little better.
LMP: And from our point of view, the Moon appears about the size of a grapefruit, held at the arm's length. It's going to get considerably bigger, and if I don't have the Earth to compare it with at the mo- ment. But I suspect they are about the same size or maybe the Moon is starting to exceed the Earth in apparent size,
CC: Okay. And the big board now has you at - -
LMP: Okay. We'11 go - -
CC: - - about - - 180,000 out.
CC: Roger. Okay, I'm going to come back inside. We have now stowed the hatch. And Stu and A1 are up starting to bring the probe out. And very soon we'11 be able to mRke the trip into the LM with the camera and see what we can find in there.
LMP: We have not, as you can obviously see, rehearsed this. Our procedures are new to us, going into the LM for the first time. And, as a matter of fact, we were a little bit rushed getting the pressurization procedure complete in order to get in on time. We'11 be ready here in about 2 min- utes to move on into the I_, I think.
LMP: And, now, let's go back inside the command module.
CC: Okay. Are we looking up in the tunnel area now, Ed? It's pretty dark right now.
CMP: Yes, I'11 be bringing the probe out - -
LMP: Yes, I'm trying to, Fred, but it's dark. Just i second, I'11 see if I can improve the light situation for us.
LMP: Okay. You're looking directly up into the tunnel now. The probe has been released from the drogue, and Stu will be bringing it straight down through the tunnel.
CC: Yes. We got that picture in pretty good now. We can see it coming on down.
LMP: Okay, Houston. A1 and Stu are taking the probe down under the right-hand couch now.
CC: Yes, we can see A1 in the picture now.
LMP: Okay. He's probably clearer for you than he is on our monitor. It's a little dark in here.
CDR: You can look up the tunnel and see the drogue ..., Ed, and I'11 go and pick it up for you.
LMP: Okay. You're looking directly at the drogue now, which is gray in color and which has a hole in the center above the capture latches.
CC: In our color pictures here, the opening in the drogue looks red in color. Like a big red eye.
LMP: Okay. And Alan has it out and he's starting to come down the tunnel with it. That's probably a little dark for you, but he's coming down anyhow.
CC: Okay, and we've temporarily, I hope, lost our pic- ture down here, Ed.
LMP: Fred, do you have your picture back yet?
CC: Negative, Ed.
CC: And 14, the problem with the loss of picture is on our end of the street.
LMP: Okay. Tell me when you have it back and we're ready to go through into the LM.
CC: And, Ed, Houston. You may continue the commentary, I guess. It's being received out at the site and being recorded; we're just not getting it - plumbed into here.
LMP: Okay. While we were Just holding up here, Alan has slipped on through into the LM and is opening up the window shades and turning on the lights, so that as we go in, we will have some lights to give you a little better picture. I'm waiting here until - to get your picture back before I start in; however, if you would like, I'11 go ahead and go into the LM.
CC: Stand by l, Ed. Okay, Ed. They don't have an estimate right now. We might wait a coupleofmin- utes; and then, I guess, if we haven't got it back, you can proceed.
LMP: Okay. Okay, Alan's coming back through the tunnel now and it will be clear here in a minute.
LMP: Houston, while we're waiting for your picture to come back and, since it is being recorded at the site, we will take a quick station break and let Alan give us a commercial for Apollo 14.
CDR: Okay. Apollo 14 is progressing very nicely. As you can see, we're now right on schedule. And it looks as though the first midcourse correction is going to put us in for the lunar orbit insertion burn - very close. We're - we're currently pre- paring to go into the LM as Ed has told you; and, so far, everything is working very well in the com- mand module. We're very pleased with the way the systems are working. Everything is quiet, going along extremely smoothly, and we have a happy little ship here. Everyone is well. Everyone is resting well. We're adapting to weightlessness, I think, very rapidly. And everything is going along very smoothly at this point. Al.
CC: Roger, And we have a picture back now. It's just a little bit on the dark side, but we can see you quite well.
LMP: Okay, Fredo. We'11 start on in.
CC: Hey, that's a good picture, Ed.
CDR: Okay. We're starting through the tunnel.
CDR: Why don't you show the docking latches while you go by, Ed. See how they look on the television. Can you see the docking latches, Fredo?
CC: Roger. We can see those, Ed. We can see on down to the tunnel and the top of the ascent engine cover.
LMP: Okay. I think it's significant that, in spite of our problem the other day, that when Stu - Stu finally got us into the docking ring that all of them snapped shut, which is - was very well lined up. And our docking index, as you know, cost us a case of beer, I think, because it's within i degree.
CC: Okay. And you might let us know, Ed, how you find the fit through the tunnel there.
LMP: Okay. I'm sliding through.
CMP: Hey, was that question from Joe?
CC: I'm not sure he'd own up to it.
LMP: Okay. I'm through the tunnel, and I'm right at the top of the LM. I'm shining the - showing the camera down on the main console on the Commander's side. How's that picture, Fredo?
CC: Okay. That looks very good, Ed.
LMP: And let's see. I'11 turn it around. I'11 go ahead and go on down and twist around, and maybe we can look out the window.
LMP: And, we're now inside the LM.
LMP: Can you see that, Fred?
CC: Yes, we see what looks to be a patch there, Ed.
LMP: Is it good enough for you to read it?
CC: Is it something like beep, beep or -
LMP: How did you ever guess?
CMP: Must be some prompting from the ground.
CC: Okay. And, Ed, a good portion of your swing here, the picture is a little bit on the dark side. You might try opening it up Just a little bit more.
LMP: Roger. I've had it open all the way, Fredo_
CC: Well, I guess you can't do any better than that.
CC: Did you find the LM pretty clean, Ed, when y'all first came aboard or was anything loose in there?
LMP: No, both spacecraft, Fredo, have been immaculate. I think we have found one washer floating along about i day ago, and we have seen nothing that was foreign to the spacecraft either before or since that time. And, as I say that, I see one floating by me right now. It may be the same washer.
CDR: Yes, I'd like to point out that Ed is talking about something external to the spacecraft. The cabin above the command module and the LM are extremely clean. We've been very pleased with the way they' ve looked.
CMP: Yes, I think from what we've heard along the line, we actually expected maybe to see a few more nuts and bolts. I think a lot of credit goes to check- out crew and everything because this spacecraft is really in good shape.
LMP: And, Fredo, I'm passing the camera back to Alan in the comm_nd module. We don't have enough light in here to really give you a good picture. And there's not much help from the outside since the Sun is behind us right now.
CC: Roger, Ed. I - we got a pretty good picture of you down in the tunnel right now.
CMP: Hey, Fred. Did you hear that last comment I made about the crew and how clean the spacecraft was?
CMP: Well, that was planted, you know, for all the authorized people that worked on the spacecraft. You know, we're really unindated [sic] with un- authorized objects in both spacecraft. I think Ed was showing you one up there, but if you could see this. I don't know if any of the backup crew is down in there tonight or not. But - okay, how about - about here - ... But, they've left their calling card.
CC: Okay, we have a pretty good picture of that, Stu. And, they are here.
CMP: Okay. Tell them we sure appreciate every compart- ment that we open up having one of these come floating out of it.
CC: They aim to please.
LMP: Stu, you want to take the camera? Perhaps you can move it on up to the window. I don't know how much light there is, but sure is a good shot of the Moon out there. You might try again with the monitor so you can see what it looks like to them.
CMP: Well, we'11 give it a go.
CC: Okay, we can see the Moon again in the number - number i window. It's down in the lower left corner now, Stu. Hey, that's about right in the center.
CC: Okay, that's - the picture's a little distorted now, Stu. It's a little bright.
CMP: Okay, that ought to help it a little.
CC: Yes, that's about right. It's still hard to see in this picture - much in the way of detail of the features - any features on the surface. Right at the terminator, we can pick up a few craters; but, other than that, it's really hard to see very much.
CMP: Okay. Yes, I didn't think it was going to show up too much there, Fred, because that's really the way it looks with the eye. It's Just now starting, you know, to get into the area where the larger craters would show up.
CC: Okay, we've got a good picture of A1 there, now.
CMP: Okay, he's got the transfer items that he's taking up into the LM for the activation, and he might just give you a word on what they are.
CDR: The purpose of the excursion into the LM at this time is to check out some of the communications, do a little housekeeping, look - generally look the vehicle over, and also, in this particular case, we are going to take some pictures of the command module while we're there. This is done during the flight on the way to the Moon to save time, so that when we actually go into the LM for the final time prior to the descent, there will be less things to do. So, I have a package of things here in my hand which I'11 now be taking up into the LM and will proceed on with our house- keeping tasks up there.
CC: Okay, we can see him heading out with the package in hand there.
CMP: Okay, is there enough light up in there, Fred? You getting the picture?
CC: Looks like running an obstacle course in the early going, getting by all the hoses.
CMP: And, Fredo, I'm starting back through the tunnel now to pick up the rest of the equipment. We have several 16- and 70-millimeter camera MAGs that are being transferred over. We'11 pick those up and be right back with you.
CC: Okay, I guess the picture I'm looking at now, as you're pointing back into the LEB in the area where the optics would be. And I can see the radiation meter back there.
CMP: Yes. Yes. That's affirmative, Fred; I'm Just really trying to get the camera out of the way there for a minute. Ed's got the other film magazine. He's headed back up into the LM now.
CC: Yes, Ed fits through there quite easily. I guess zero g really does help.
CMP: (Laughter) ... no comment.
LMP: If you're cnmmenting on what I think you're cnmmenting on, it was totally uncalled for, Fredo. And, Houston, we are both - A1 and I are both in the LM now with all of our transfer items, and we will proceed to go ahead and give it a checkout as per the time line.
CMP: Okay, Fred. I'11 try to move up here, and maybe we can look over the shoulder a little bit.
CC: Okay. I can see a moving back and forth; I guess your head is down through now.
CMP: Okay, we're going to get a picture of it all up here, Fred. I'm up ahead by the IN hatch now, trying to watch them work in the LM; but it doesn't look like it's going to be bright enough.
CC: Yes. It's - it's a pretty dark picture now, Stu.
CMP: Yes, I'm afraid that's not going to show up. If we had a little light, I guess we need a little Sun through the IN window.
UNKNOWN: Well, Houston, I guess Fred and I'11 have to give you a show from - I mean Stu and I'11 have to give you a show from that side. It's too dark over here.
CC: Okay. And you're cutting in and out there, Ed.
LMP: Okay. How now? Is that better?
CC: Okay. You're loud and clear now.
CDR: Fred, this is Al. As you know, we have the probe and drogue out. Is there anybody that - who's interested in taking a look at those, or are you pretty well satisfied that Just taking still - still pictures of it frc_a here on out will do the trick?
CC: Okay, Al. The word is the pictures should suffice. I - They're not that - particularly interested in another look right now.
LMP: Okay. Is there anything else you'd like to see before we sign out for the evening?
CC: Okay, Ed - Al. The - I guess the answer is no to your last question.
CC: Okay. In that case, we'11 sign off from Apollo 14. We appreciate the opportunity to show you around the spacecraft and a little bit of the I_M; and I hope that next time you see the IN, it'11 have more light, so you'11 be able to see it better.
CMP: Hey, Houston, 14.
CMP: Okay, Fredo, do you want me to stay on the HIGH GAIN here or go to OMNI Charlie?
CC: They would like you to stay on HIGH GAIN.
CC: Okay; and, Stu, would you pass one word on down to A1 and Ed?
CMP: Yes, I can do that.
CC: Okay. Would you tell them to - to give us a call before they proceed on page 1-15, where they're going to turn on the - the corem and get a GO from us and make sure we've got good lock on the S-IVB.
LMP: Roger. Fredo, I'm still on the comm. I understood.
CC: Okay, and I guess when you get there, Ed, Just check with us, and - and I'11 make sure they're set up good on the IU before you press on.
CC: Okay, Fredo.
CC: 14, Houston. You still there?
CMP: That's affirmative. Go ahead.
CC: It's Just pretty quiet. Just wanted to see if you were still around.
CMP: Okay, Fredo, I guess - sitting here looking, the hour next - we - You'd originally said we're going to go into PTC at 62:10. I don't know if that was before you came up with the waste water dump or not; we don't really want to start that before the waste water dump, do we?
CC: That's right, Stu. The time - Let's see, I show on the flight-plan change here is 63:10, estab- lish PTC. I'11 recheck that. Stand by.
CMP: Okay. You're - you're right, Fredo. 63:10, okay.
CC: Okay, Stu; but, in any case, you're right, not before the water dump.
CMP: Yes, that - that was my mistake. I had marked that in and before I'd moved everything up an hour, and I've got it back over there in the right place, and I did mark it off. Thank you.
CC: And, 14, while we're talking about PTC, Stu, I'd like B/D roll selected before you crank it up.
CMP: Okay, we use B/D roll.
CC: You got any idea, Stu, where they are in the Good Book, so we can maybe begin and be warned about the IU business?
CMP: Stand by. I'11 check.
CMP: Okay, they're finishing up lll, Fredo.
CC: Okay, lll.
CMP: Okay. Just a second here.
LMP: Okay, Houston; Apollo 14. We're switching to LM power at 62:21:14.
LMP: Houston, the - the ED BUS BAT A is reading 37 volts; BAT B, 37 volts.
CC: Roger. Both of them 37 volts, Ed.
CMP: Yes, I need you to turn on your - -
UNKNOWN: 14, how do you read? Houston.
CMP: I read you 5 square, Fredo.
CDR: Hey, Fred, when you get a minute, I need a VHF A check.
CC: Okay. And we'd like high taps on the LM.
UNKNOWN: Okay. High taps on the LM.
CDR: Okay. We're going to get them to them.
CC: Okay. I guess we're reading Antares now, loud and clear.
LMP: Okay. And we're checking out the ... - -
CDR: Hello, 14, Fredo. This is Antares. Do you read loud and clear?
CC: Too many of you are speaking at once there. Say again, Antares.
CDR: Okay. I was just giving you an estimated check from Antares.
CC: Roger. Loud and clear, and go ahead, Kitty Hawk.
CMP: Disregard, Fred.
LMP: Okay. Your first one is 20 seconds at 24 frames a second, and then 20 seconds at 1 frame per second. Then, when you get near the end, when you're going to shut it off, you want 10 seconds at 24 frames per second, and then 1 frame per sec- ond as it peters off.
CC: That's correct, Ed. Except they didn't want to run it any longer than 180 seconds, which is pretty close to 3 minutes.
LMP: Yes. I've got it.
LMP: Can you see it?
CDR: Oh, boy, it's not there. And, Antares,
CC: Ed, or just a reminder. You're on SPA DOWN NOISE BACKUP now, so you're hot-mike.
LMP: Roger. Suspected that. Thank you.
LMP: We're holding up, Fredo, on our procedures until A1 finishes getting the waste water dump pictures.
LMP: It probably does.
LMP: Houston, from the LM, this water dump looks like a snow storm.
CC: Yes. That's the way I figured it would look.
LMP: Fred, were you getting your LO bit rate? If so, I'11 switch you over to HI.
CC: Okay. Okay, Ed. It looks good here. LO bit rate, you can go to step 3.
LMP: Roger. There's HI bit rate.
CC: Okay. We got HI bit rate now, Ed.
LMP: Roger. Going step _.
LMP: Houston, how do you read Antares?
CC: Okay. I read you loud and clear, Ed.
CC: And, Antares; Houston. We're ready for step 5.
LMP: Roger. And, Houston; this is step 5. How do you read Antares?
CC: Antares, we're reading you loud and clear on LO bit rate, now.
CC: Antares, Houston. We're ready for step 6, now.
CC: Antares, Houston. How do you read?
LMP: Okay, Fredo, loud and clear. How me?
CC: Okay, it's not bad at all. I'd say you're loud and clear, also.
CC: Antares, Houston. We're ready for step 7, now.
LMP: All right, Houston. How do you read Antares?
CC: Okay, Antares, Houston. Read you loud and clear. Antares,
CDR: Roger, Houston. Kitty Hawk, how do you read VHF A?
CMP: Ed, how do you read on A?
LMP: Loud and clear, Stu.
CC: Antares, Houston. We're ready for step 8 now.
LMP: Roger, Fredo. Stand by 1.
LMP: Kitty Hawk, Antares. How do you read VHF A, now?
LMP: Houston, Antares. How do you read?
CC: Antares, Houston. Read you loud and clear.
LMP: Okay, I guess I'm ready for step 8, now.
CC: Okay, you're GO for step 8.
LMP: Okay, now. Roger. How do you read, now?
CC: Read you loud and clear, Ed.
CC: Okay, Ed. Everything looks good down here.
LMP: Okay, Fredo. Stand by - We're still having trouble - not getting our VHF turned up.
CMP: Okay. It's B SIMPLEX.
LMP: Okay, how me?
LMP: Kitty Hawk, Antares. How do you read me on VHF B?
LMP: Kitty Hawk, Antares. How do you read VHF B?
LMP: Kitty Hawk, Antares. How do you read, now?
CC: Antares, Houston. We'd like a readout on BAT 5 and 6 - voltage.
LMP: Stand by, Houston.
CC: Kitty Hawk, Houston. We're ready to dispense with the water dump, now.
CMP: I've already shut it off, Fredo. I'm just coming back up, now.
LMP: Kitty Hawk, Antares. Read you loud and clear.
CMP: Okay, you're 5 square. Let's try A.
CMP: How do you read on A, Ed?
LMP: Kitty Hawk, Antares. Read you loud and clear on A. How me?
CMP: You're 5 square.
CMP: Okay. We check out finally.
LMP: Houston, Antares. BATs 5 and 6 are reading 36 and a half and 37 volts, respectively.
CC: Okay. Copied, Antares.
CMP: Okay, Ed. Can I turn - Do you want me to turn the VHF, OFF?
CC: Go ahead, Antares.
LMP: We're going to skip the OPS checkout until A1 gets through with his camera work. And I'm going to go ahead with the comm deactivation. We'11 pick the checkout up shortly.
CC: Okay, that'11 be all right.
LMP: Okay. Antares is going off the air for a couple of days.
CC: Kitty Hawk, Houston.
CC: Is Ed still downstairs?
CMP: Yes. They're both down there.
CDR: We just transferred to - we just transferred to command module power. Be coming back up in a minute.
CC: Roger, Antares. I got - I got a question there. I was wondering if Ed recalls back on step 1, on comm activation, if he had to switch the antenna - S-BANDANTENNA switch, was it already in AFT or did he move it to FORWARD and then back to AFT?
CDR: Okay. Stand by. Antares
CDR: Okay, this is talking through Kitty Hawk's transmitters. We found the S-BAND ANTENNA switch in AFT as the checklist called for, and he did not move in for step 1.
CC: Antares, Houston.
CDR: Okay. This is Antares. Go ahead.
CC: Okay, Al, are you back in the Kitty Hawk, now?
CDR: No, I'm still in Antares, but I'm using Kitty Hawk cable.
CC: Roger. The question is, we've got you back on - Antares - back on command module power, and they're showing about 2 amps high. And, the question is, has the reconfiguration been complete as per the initial activation status chart for circuit breakers back on 13 and 14 yet?
CDR: That is affirmative, per checklist.
CDR: Houston, Antares.
CDR: The OPS checkup complete. The source pressure on the CDR's reading 6200; lowest pressure on I34P is reading 6000.
CC: Okay. Copy now. CDR's 6200; LMP, 6000.
LMP: We rechecked our circuit breaker configuration, and we found that EPS DC BUS VOLT, panel 11, was out. It is now in.
CC: Antares, Houston. Over.
CC: I was just looking through the checklist on page 1-18; under the 64-hour eallout, it shows that EPS DC BUS VOLT circuit breaker back open. It comes after you check the circuit breaker charge, up at the top of the page. So I guess that DC VOLT should be open.
LMP: Okay, stand by 1.
CDR: Okay. I think our checklist is finally in phase with your checklist, and the DC BUS VOLT circuit breaker, panel 11, is out.
CC: That current in the LM seems to be dropping down. It's down to about an amp, now. It's looking pretty normal. So we don't think any more effort trying to find out the cause of it is worthwhile. Over.
CDR: Okay. As I say, I think we're finally in phase now. We - The - the last item we did was turn out the floodlights which probably helps the situation. The - the LMhatch is now closed, and both Ed and I are clear of it.
CC: Roger. If - if it's convenient to get to, we'd like to know how much of that magazine Foxtrot you used taking pictures of the water dump.
CMP: Okay, A1 says he used one-third of the magazine.
CC: Roger, Stu; one-third.
CMP: Okay, Gordon, I guess you're going to give me a call when it's okay for PTC, huh?
CC: That's right. Down a little, we'11 take a look and see how your rates look.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. You look good now; you're clear to spin it up.
CC: Also, we'd like OMNI Bravo, and you're clear to secure the high gain antenna.
LMP: Roger. Bravo.
CC: Roger. We're watching your PTC, and it doesn't look too good. It's heading right on out of the box. We lost data just as you started to spin up with that antenna switchover. It was poor timing on our part. So we're not sure just how the start went, but we're sure this one isn't going to work. So, at your convenience, if you'11 restart another - or redamp the rates and stand by for our GO for another startup. Over.
LMP: Okay, Houston. Stand by.
CC: If you stop near a roll angle of either zero or 180, that will give us better high bit rate to watch your rates.
LMP: Okay. Stu's coming up to the top now.
CMP: Okay, Gordon. I'm up here. That one didn't take, huh?
CC: No. It just headed right on out to the limit for some reason, Stu.
CMP: Okay, Gordon. How do you read?
CC: Loud and clear, Stu. Go ahead.
CMP: Okay. So that one didn't take, huh?
CC: Negative. It went right straight on out toward a limit on our plot here. We didn't get a good read-out of the - of the initiation of it, because we had that antenna switchover right at the time. I'11 stand by until we get through this - into the next OMNI here.
CC: Stu, this is Houston. How do you read now?
CC: Okay. I mentioned to Ed if you'11 stop the roll on near zero or near 180, we'11 have good antenna angle for high bit rate and can watch the rates that way.
CC: Roger. As you're sitting there, your high gain is pretty well pointed at us. We'd like to bring it up to watch the start of this next attempt at PC - PTC. Would you go to AUTO - and then select HIGH GAIN?
CMP: Okay, Gordon, it looks like we've got the HIGH GAIN.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. You have a GO to start the spinup.
CC: It looks to us like you might have missed one jet enable, Delta-2. Do you have roll coupled?
CMP: Roger. Thank you, Gordon.
CC: 14, Houston. Your rates are still good, if you want to give her a start.
CC: We're showing the 02 flow up a little bit to eight-tenths and suggest you might look around at the - all the overboard drains, valves, and make sure they're tightly secured. Over.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. Give us OMNI Bravo, and you're clear to secure the high gain antenna.
CC: We see that the cabin pressure, which was down to near 5, is back up to 5 dec - 5.1, and the flow rate is decreasing now. Does this help you - give you any clues as to what the problem might have been? Did you find any loose valves? Over.
CDR: No, not as yet. We're having a problem with a sticky Myrtle. We're working ... equipment prob- lem right now.
CC: Roger. I have a short shopping list of items for you here. First of all, the state vector on board there is in good shape and no update will be required as scheduled at 66 hours.
CC: And it's looking like midcourse 4 will be about 3.5 feet per second - 3-1/2 feet per second. And one question, on the lens - the 18-millimeter lens that you took over to use to take the pictures of the water dump. Just to help us keep track of where things are, did you bring that back and restow it in the command module? Over.
CMP: That's affirmative, Gordon. The lens is back and stowed in the command module, and understand mid- course 4 will be about 3.2.
CC: Stu, that's 3.5, but that's close enough as - as close as we can tell now. The PTC is looking good. It's hanging in there and, well, maybe its too early to predict; it looks like it's going to take this time. There is some - an 02 heater reconfiguration shown at 65.10 in the flight plan to do and the presleep items on the checklist, and that's all we have before you retire for the day. Over.
CMP: Okay. We just, about 10 minutes ago, configured the heaters, and we're going to press into the presleep here momentarily.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 14.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. Were you calling? You are very weak. Over.
CMP: That's affirmative, Gordon. I'm ready for an E-memory dump. Can you take it with this corem?
CC: I'm reading you Just barely, Stu. Stand by. I'11 check if we can take the E-MOD in this kind of antenna configuration.
CC: Stu, we're going to have to wait a couple of minutes until a better antenna gets up.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. We are ready at this time for the E-MOD. Over.
CMP: Okay, Houston. Here it comes. And, Gordon, I've got some onboard read-outs when you're ready.
CMP: Okay, battery C, 37.0; pyro battery A, 37.4; pyro battery B, 37.4. RCS: Able, 87; Baker, 87; Charlie, 85; Delta - Delta, 86.
CC: Roger, Stu. We copied all those.
CMP: And, Gordon, for a crew status, we're all in good shape and no medication.
CC: Looks like we've got the dump complete. And one question from EECOM. With this data configuration right now, he can't really tell if you cycled all the cryo fans. He just wanted a confirmation that you had. Over.
CMP: That's affirmative. The fans were cycled.
CDR: Houston, 14 is signing off for the evening.
CC: Roger, Al. Pleasant dreams to you all.
CC: Apollo 14, Apollo 14, this is Houston. Over.
CC: Hello, Apollo 14. Apollo 14; this is Houston. Over.
LMP: Houston, this is Apollo 14. Houston, Apollo 14. How do you read?
CC: Okay, Ed. You are loud and clear. Sorry to disturb you, but we have been watching some parameters on the ECS. We watched the cabin leak down to 5.1 the last we saw and we've also noticed a - that the main REGs have opened as a result, and your 02 flow has been steadily increasing; last 4/10tbs time we had high bit rate, it was about of a pound per hour. The PTC is being disturbed, but it still - is stable. We wanted to alert you to try to troubleshoot this leak before we throw the PTC out of bounds. What we'd like you to do is check all the overboard drain valves, one at a time. And, this time, we would like to try to tie down precisely which - which valve is the guilty one and so we would like - as you either tighten them or jiggle them or whatever you can think of - to do to the valves, do each one individually and give us time to watch the flow rate and see if we can tie it down. Over.
LMP: Houston, the WASTE MANAGEMENT DUMP valve is going to OFF at this point.
LMP: Gordon, did you notice a step increase of the flow rate, or has it just been a gradually increasing thing over the last hour or so?
CC: It's been a gradual increase; however, just - We've been watching the data after you told us you closed
LMP: Well, the WASTE MANAGEMENT DRAIN ... TR_/_SCRIPTION
CC: Okay, Ed. We missed your answer to my question completely during the OMNI switchover there. Over.
LMP: Roger. Your last question about the configuration management of the waste drain to the Myrtle?
CC: That's affirmative; that question.
LMP: Okay. I guess - the Myrtle - the waste manage- ment system had been in use several times for the last hour, and if you saw changes probably fluctuating up and down, it was undoubtedly due to that system.
CC: I see. You've used it several times?
CC: That's - I mean - that's since - since you signed out for the night, is that right?
LMP: Right now the drain is closed, and it had been closed, reopened, and closed, at least twice since we signed off for the night.
CC: The 02 flow has - dropped back down now. It's not come down; it - it still appears that the main REGs may be flowing a little bit. What we suggest is that you use the DIRECT 02 to pump the cabin back up to 5.7, and then go on back to sleep and we'11 try not to bother you. The PTC looks like it should hold okay through the sleep period.
LMP: Okay, Gordon. That's fine.
CDR: Houston, this is Al.
CDR: Hello, Houston. This is Al.
CC: Roger, Al. We read you weak. Go ahead.
CC: Ed, this is Houston. Go ahead.
LMP: Hello, Houston. Apollo 14.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. Loud and clear now. Go ahead.
CC: Apollo 14.
LMP: Houston, Apollo 14. Do you read?
CC: Roger, Apollo 14. This is Houston. You're loud and clear. Go ahead.
LMP: Okay. Two items. First of all, Al's got a sensor replaced. He wanted the medics to take a look at it, and pump the cabin up, shut off the 2/10ths DIRECT 02, and that flow is down to now.
MCC: Roger. Okay, yes, advise them we're still in LOW BIT RATE and there will be a few minutes or a few seconds here before we can get HIGH BIT RATE.
CC: 14, Houston; we're going to have to wait until we rotate around to an - an antenna angle that we can get HIGH BIT RATE before we can check that sensor, but we'11 give you a call in a minute or two when we 're ready.
CC: 14, Houston. CDR's biomed data looks very good, according to Dr. Berry himself. and
LMP: Okay. I just changed the paste in the sensor put a new sticky washer on the electrode ...
CC: Okay. They're - they're willing to sign you up for a permanent Job at doing that, if you'd like to after the flight.
LMP: Well, we'11 discuss it.
CDR: Houston, 14. If you're satisfied then, I'11 return my comm configuration to the sleep configuration.
CC: Okay. Let me make one quick check here.
CC: Well, I guess that's all we've got. We'11 say good night once again.
LMP: Thank you, Gordon.
CC: Apollo 14. Apollo 14, this is Houston. Over.
LMP: Houston, Apollo 14. Good morning. How do you read me?
CC: Roger. Good evening, Apollo 14. Loud and clear.
LMP: Good morning, Bruce. Do you have a consl_mables update for me?
CC: Roger. Are you ready for it?
LMP: Okay. Any time you're ready to give it.
CC: Okay. Consumables update - -
LMP: Good morning.
