CC: Okay, Al. Thank you. That might be a super picture.
CMP: Sure hope so, Joe.
CC: Jim, this is Houston. How are the eye flashes coming?
LMP: Still waiting, Joe.
LMP: MARK. A first ray of flash, 10 o'clock, left eye, about three-quarters of the way out to the periphery, intensity 5.
LMP: MARK. A streak, at i o'clock, moving from the bottom to the top of the - our sphere. MOving - moving definitely vertically up, beginning at 1 o'clock about three-quarters of the way up - intensity 2.
CC: Jim, this is Houston. And we're still listening to you. In the meantime, I've got a map camera
LMP: Okay, he'11 be with you shortly.
CMP: Yes. Hold on, Joe. We're going over the Harbinger Mountains and right over the Aristarchus Plateau right now. And Dave and I are looking like mad and taking pictures.
CC: Fine, Alfredo. When you get back to me, I'11 give you this! other pad. It's got to be within the next 15 minutes though.
CMP: Okay, Joe. No problem, we're about done. APOLLO 15 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
LMP: MARK. Flash at, seems like it was in both eyes, at about the 7 o'clock position, one-quarter of the way out the periphery, intensity 5.
CMP: Houston, 15. Ready to copy the pad.
CC: Roger, Al. At 198 plus 25, go to narrow DEAD BAND in PRO VERB 22 NOUN 79, plus 000.50. OPEN COVER and EXTEND MAP CAMERA, per steps 3 and 4 in your checklist. 198 plus 31, MAP CAMERA IMAGE MOTION, ON. 198 plus 32 plus 10, MAP CAMERA, ON; IMAGE MOTION, INCREASE, barber pole plus four steps; LASER ALTIMETER, ON. 199 plus 19, IMAGE MOTION, INCREASE, talkback barber pole. 199 plus 31 plus 56, MAP CAMERA, OFF; LASER ALTIMETER, OFF; Wait BO seconds, then MAP CAMERA, ON - That - that should read, MAP CAMERA, ON, to STANDBY; And then RETRACT and CLOSE COVER, per steps 78 - 7 and 8 in the checklist. And that brings you to 199 plus 31 in your Flight Plan, and you can delete the three lines at that point, "MAP CAMERA IMAGE INCREASE." Over.
CMP: Roger, Houston. Copy. At 198:15, go narrow DEAD BAND at P20. OPEN MAPPING CAMERA COVERS and EXTEND the MAPPING CAMERA. At 198:31 plus 00, MAPPING CAMERA, ON - Oh, I'm sorry, IMAGE MOTION, ON. And 198 plus 32 plus 10. MAPPING CAMERA, ON; IMAGE MOTION to barber pole plus four; and LASER ALTIMETER, ON. At 199:19:00, IMAGE MOTION to barber pole. At 199:31:56, MAPPING CAMERA, OFF; LASER, OFF; wait BO seconds, MAPPING CAMERA to STANDBY - No, that's RETRACT and CLOSE COVERS.
CC: That's correctjA1; and, you can delete those three lines at 199 plus 30. And - and there's a note that goes with this. This particular pass will be taken with the GAMMA EXPERIMENT and the MASS SPEC EXPERIMENT BOOMS EXTENDED. So don't worry about the fact they're out. One number you gave to me, the first one, should be 198 plus 25, go to narrow DEAD BAND. Over.
CMP: Roger. 198:25. That's what I had written. Read it wrong.
LMP: Okay, Joe. During that conversation, I saw two - both at 8 o'clock. First one was three-quarters of the way out, intensity 2. The last one was at intensity B, about halfway out, appeared to be at left eye.
CC: Thank you, Jim; copied.
LMP: MARK. Flash at center, plus-X, intensity 2.
LMP: MARK. Flash, left eye, 9 o'clock, on the periphery, intensity 5.
LMP: Joe, how is the time going on my 1 hour?
CC: Okay, Jim. My sand dial shows about 15 minutes remaining. You'11 be going around the corner LOS shortly. We don't have any more instructions for you on the experiment or in fact on anything else going on. We would like your present - a descrip- tion of your present position in the spacecraft. And, we'd like for you to remain in that position for the rest of the 15 minutes in the experiment. Over.
LMP: Okay, understand you don't want me to turn over. I'm in the left couch and, of course, facing the plus - plus-X and just when we started that con- versation; I had a flash at - at 11 o'clock on the periphery, intensity 4, and then Just the - at the end of your conversation, I had a streak moving _ from the B o'clock to the 9 o'clock, right to left, right throngb the plus-X position.
CC: Okay, Jim, copied that and that's correct. Just - Just stay in your present position, and we'11 see you on the other side.
LMP: Okay. 128/3 Tape BEGIN LUNAR REv
CC: Hello, Endeavour. This is Houston requesting REACQ and NARROW.
CC: Okay, Al, thank you very much. Some time during this pass, we are going to be requesting an ISA weight which you have in your Lunar Surface Check- list, page 3-2. And we'11 have a map camera and a pan camera pad to send up to you.
CMP: Okay, Joe. That all sounds very good.
CC: Endeavour, this is Houston. We're showing your mapping camera not on at this time and are requesting it on. It may be Just a reverify from your 198 plus 32 plus 10 on the Flight Plan. Over.
CMP: Roger, Joe. 129/1 Tape
CC: Endeavour, this is Houston. We copy the GAMMA RAY, GAINSTEP, SHIELD, on. And Al, we have a photo pad to you when you're ready to copy. Over.
CC: Okay. In your Flight Plan, at 199:20, you can strike PCM cable, unless your relativistic speed has mAuaged to lengthen that cable, I guess. At 199:25, you can strike the three lines, "CMC MODE, VERB 22, and CMC MODE." And, then I have a pad for you at 200 plus 20, when you're ready.
CMP: Roger. Go ahead with the pad at 200:20.
CC: Okay, Al. At this time, it's camera configuration for terminator photos that we missed a little earlier. And the lines should read "CM4/EL/250/ MAG Romeo." Over.
CMP: Roger, Joe. Understand. Terminator photo pad at CM4/EL/250/VHBW, 200 plus 20 is and that's with the intervalometer, IVL, at f/5.6 1/125th, infinity, six frames an_MAG R.
CC: Readback's correct, Al. And, the next entry is at - 200 plus 25, which is open the map camera covers and extend the camera per page S 1-39. And, at that time, MAP CAMERA, IMAGE MOTION to ON. And then, coming up to the time 200 plus 27 plus 56, EL on; and 200 plus 29 plus 36, EL off. At the time 200 plus 30 plus 36, MAP CAMERA, ON; IMAGE MOTION, INCREASE; talkback to barber pole, plus four steps; LASER ALTIMETER to ON; PAN CAMERA MODE to STANDBY, POWER, on; STEREO, EXPOSURE, normal. Over.
CMP: Roger, Joe. At 200 plus 25 open mapping camera covers and extend the mapping camera. Turn the IMAGE MOTION ON at 275 - 200:27:56, EL on, and at 29:36, EL off. At 30:36 MAPPING CAMERA, ON; IMAGE MOTION to barber pole, plus four; and LASER ON. And then PAN CAMERA, STANDBY, POWER, ON; STEREO, EXPOSURE, normal.
CC: That's correct Al. And continuing on through a few more steps here, and I'11 read them all, and then stand by for your readback. 200 plus 33 plus 29, PAN CAMERA, MODE to OPERATE. 200 plus 49 plus 32, PAN CAMERA to MONO. 200 plus 54 plus 27, PAN CAMERA, STEREO. 200 plus 59 plus 22; PAN CAMERA, MODE; STANDBY; PAN CAMERA, POWER to OFF, on MSFN cue. And, moving right along, 201 plus 17 plus 00, PAN CAMERA, IMAGE MOTION, INCREASE. I'm sorry, Al. That was misread. That should be MAP CAMERA, IMAGE MOTION to INCREASE; talkback, barber pole. 201 plus 28 plus 21, EL on. 201 plus 30 plus O1, EL off. 201 plus 30 plus 21, MAP CAMERA, OFF; LASER ALTIMETER, OFF. And the final one, 201 plus 32 plus 00, retract camera and close covers per the page in your checklist. Over.
CMP: Roger, Joe. Understand at 201:17:00, MAPPING CAMERA, IMAGE MOTION, INCREASE to barber pole; at 201:28:21, EL on; at 201:30:01, EL off; 201:32:00, off. No, back to 30:01, after EL off, read MAP CAMERA, OFF; LASER, OFF. And, at 201: 32: OO, RETRACT and close the mapping camera covers.
CC: Okay, Al. And read back to me four more lines, beginning with 200 plus 33 plus 29. You didn't go back Quite far enough, and that - that one should read PAN CAMERA, MODE to OPERATE.
CC: And I'm standing by.
CMP: Roger. At - at 33 - at 200:33:29, PAN CAMERA to OPERATE. At 49:32, PAN CAMERA to MONO. At 54:27 PAN to STEREO. And, at 59:22 PAN to STANDBY; POWER OFF on MSFN cue.
CC: Okay, Al. Sounds real good. But doublecheck for me one line, which I may have goofed. It's the 201 plus 30 plus 21, MAP CAMERA, OFF; LASER ALTIMETER; OFF.
CMP: Roger, Joe. Understand. At 201:30:21. That's 20 seconds after EL, off, we get the MAPPING CAMERA, OFF and the LASER, OFF. Tape And,
CC: Yes sir, that's affirmative. I guess - we're still waiting for an ISA weight. Other than that, we're doing real fine.
CC: Go. Go ahead, Al. And, we're waiting for a IMAGE MOTION talkback to barber pole.
CMP: Okay. Dave's going to get the ISA weight out for you and call you.
CC: Okay. If he's able to weigh it right there, I'd like to know how he's going to do it. I assume he's got it written down, though.
CMP: He's got it written down. He Just has to get it out.
LMP: Houston. This is 15.
CC: Yes, Joe. I have weight information on the ISA. The ISA total was 64 pounds, which includes bags 4 and 6, and 8 pounds return items. And the ISA, by itself, without anything loaded in it, was 8 pounds. Over.
CC: Okay, Jim, copied that. Sounds like there might be a stone or two in there.
LMP: Yes. Bags 4 and 6, for sure.
CC: Apollo 15. We'd like GAMMA RAY SHIELD, on, please.
CDR: Roger, Dr. Parker. SHIELD, on.
CC: And, 15. Time to start the terminator now.
CC: MAPPING CAMERA, STANDBY, please.
CDR: Roger. STANDBY.
CC: LASER ALTIMETER, OFF, please.
CC: Apollo 15, Houston. If you have a chance, we'd like to t_lk to Dave and Jim about this LCG con- nector problem sometime.
CC: And AUTO on HIGH GAIN, please.
CC: 15. Two questions we'd like to ask. First one's specific, and that is, if you noticed anything about the connector between the LCG and the suit when you took it out in order to put the plugs in yesterday afternoon. Was it already out? Was it loose? Was it not lock - locked? Or what? And secondly, a general question building up from this. Can you tell us anything - any insights you ac- quired in taking the suits off and looking at the connector or Just, in general, about what this problem may have been caused by?
CDR: Well, I guess - I guess our first indication was lack of a good integrity check. As a matter of fact, we couldn't get much more than about a pound in the suit. And the first - In thinking it over, we - we thought the only thing it could be would be those connectors, because that was the on - only semiopen port, even though it shouldn't - shouldn't be leaking. And, everybody checked their helmet and gloves and they appeared to be locked, so we broke open the helmet and gloves and Jim reached in through my zipper and pulled out the LCG connector and stuck in the plug. And -- then we rezipped, or I did. Jim rezipped me. And we tried another integrity check, and it _:_ worked okay. I guess beyond that - I don't have any explanation for it, other than the only pos- sibility is that the LCG connector was leaking, or that somebody's glove or helmet was leaking, be- cause the suits have been, as you know, very tight all the way through.
CC: Roger. Did Jim notice when you - when Jim took out your connector there, to put the plug in, did he notice it as being loose, unattached, or not lock-locked? Did he have any - could he tell any of that Just reaching in with his fingers?
LMP: Bob, this is Jim. The lock-lock was engaged on that water connector on Dave's suit.
CC: Okay, copy. And do we understand that Dave's suit was the only one that did not pass the integrity check that first time around?
LMP: No. You can't isolate it. The whole suit circuit is the integrity check. It's spacecraft plus three suits. So, there's no way to tell.
CC: Roger. But on - what I mean is that you did not put - did you put plugs in Jim's suit, too, or Just in Dave's suit?
CC: No, only - only in one suit. But we did go through the operation of taking off helmets and gloves, which also may have been the Problem.
LMP: In - in other words, there may have - even though we checked the lock-locks on the helmets and gloves, why, somebody could have had a cocked one and - and missed it. These - es - especially the - the surface equipment was - had an - an awful lot of lunar dust on it, and it was sort of hard to work. We're - we're going to get them cleaned up before the EVA, but after three runs down there, why, the connectors were getting pretty tough to work, even though we did lubricate them.
CC: Roger. Copy. I don't think we have anything else, Dave. We noticed you did seem to have some trouble getting a suit integrity check the second time around, also. Is that right?
CDR: Yes. There was a glove that wasn't locked.
CC: Okay, guess that was c_ the loop. Thanks.
CDR: I think the suit circuit's tight. I think that Just might have been one of those things, because the last one we ran was real good. It - the flow dropped down to like, 6 or 7/10ths, I guess, and it would have stayed there all day long. I think we've got a good suit loop, but - I'm not worried about that at all. Just a matter of getting all the connectors cleaned up so they all work well. And insuring that everybody gets a good lock-lock.
CC: Roger, Dave. We agree too. I - it seems to us that that sounds like it was Just one of those situations we run a suit integrity check for.
CDR: Roger. That's exactly right.
CC: And, 15; Houston. You are GO for LOS.
CDR: Thank you very much, Houston.
CMP: Hello, Houston; this is Endeavour.
CC: Roger. We got the usual Flight Plan updates, if you'11 get a Flight Plan out and copy them in, please.
CC: Okay; and if someone could give us HIGH GAIN ANTENNA to AUTO, we'd appreciate it.
CMP: Go ahead with the update.
CC: Okay. First o_e is the UV photo plan - pad at 201:05 in the Flight Plan. The T-start for that will be 201:11:19. Over.
CMP: Understand. UV T-start: 201:11:19.
CC: Roger. Next, at 201:20, we will delete "PCM cable."
CMP: Okay; got that.
CC: Roger. At 202:30, it's DISCRIMINATOR, LOW, in that line on the MASS SPEC.
CMP: Okay. DISCRIMINATOR, LOW, at 202:30.
CC: Roger. At 203:21, we will delete "LASER ALTIMETER, OFF."
CMP: Understand. Delete "LASER ALTIMETER, OFF" at 203:21, and let's hold up on the rest for now.
CC: And 15, 30 seconds to PAN CAMERA, MONO.
CDR: Hey, go with the rest of the updates, Bob.
CC: Okay. At 203:23, we'11 delete the '_[APPING CAMERA TRACK, RETRACT, talkback barber pole, 4 minutes, gray then OFF (center )"; that whole line.
CDR: Okay; that's deleted. Next?
CC: And we want PAN CAMERA, MONO, please.
CDR: It's there.
CC: Roger; sorry.
CC: Okay; 203:27, we'11 delete "MAPPING CAMERA/LASER EXPERIMENT COVERS, CLOSED, talkback barber pole, gray, then OFF (center)"; et cetera. That whole line there. 203:27.
CDR: Okay. Next?
CC: Okay; now we have here a little test the guys down here would like to run with the laser to see if we can zap it a little bit and rejuvenate it, perhaps. The first step is back on 201:30. We will delete the "LASER ALTIMETER, OFF" and '_APPiNG COVER/LASER ALTIMETER COVER, CLOSE." At 201 plus 30. Over.
CDR: Are you making an update to the update?
CC: Stand by here. Stand by a minute.
CDR: Okay; I didn't exactly find that one.
CC: Yes, stand by. I got to check with OSO.
CC: Okay, 15. We got a clarification on that. The "LASER ALTIMETER, OFF" is at 201:30. The "MAPPING CAMERA/LASER ALTIMETER COVER, CLOSE" is called out at 201:32. And we want to delete both of those.
CDR: Stand by, Bob. We're taking pictures. We'11 come back to you.
CC: Yes, give me a call.
CC: And 30 seconds to PAN CAMERA, STEREO. 130/3 Tape
CMP: Okay, Houston; 15. Go ahead with some updates, if you've got them.
CC: Okay, Al. Did you copy? What we're doing is we're changing that update, deleting the LASER ALTIMETER, OFF at 201:30. And then, we're also deleting at 201:32, the callout to "CLOSE the MAPPING CAMERA/ LASER ALTIMETER COVERS." Over.
CMP: Okay; I understand. At 201:30, you want the LASER ALTIMETER left ON, and the MAPPING CAMERA left out and the COVERS, OPEN.
CC: That's affirmative. Okay; now after the MAPPINO - -
CMP: Is that what you want?
CC: That's affirmative. And now, after the MAPPING CAMERA is OFF at 201:30, we want to cycle the LASER switch OFF for i second, then ON for 15 sec- onds, OFF for i second, ON for 15 seconds, et cetera, for 20 cycles. And after 20 cycles, we will leave the LASER ALTIMETER, ON, for MEFN analysis. Over.
CMP: Okay; understand. You want at 201:30 - you want to cycle the LASER ALTIMETER, OFF for i second and ON 15 seconds, for 20 seconds - for 20 cycles, and then leave it turned ON.
CC: That's Roger. And we'11 get back to you at that point.
CC: And that's all we have for right now, Al.
CC: And, Al, 30 seconds to PAN CAMERA, STANDBY, POWER, OFF.
CC: And, 15, we verify the pan camera lens is stowed. When convenient, we 'd like BATTERY B CHARGE - BATTERY Bravo CHARGE terminated.
CMP: Understand, B terminated.
CC: And, Endeavour; Houston. One more request, please.
CDR: Go ahead, Bob.
CC: Roger. Since we don't have the PCM cable, we'd like to - for these UV photos - to have you give us a mark each time you press the shutter button, please, on the air-to-ground.
CDR: Okay; if you'd like.
CC: Go ahead. Go ahead, 15.
CMP: Okay, Bob. Would you like me to hook up the PCM cable to it?
CC: Well, the word that I was given down here Was that you couldn't reach with the PCM cable.
CMP: No, we're taking - we're taking the pictures out of window 5, and that's where the scientific in- strument outlet is.
CC: Stand by. 15, if you can do that, that's fine.
CMP: Okay; I'11 tell you what, Bob. I'11 go ahead and hook up the PCM cable, and - and you tell me if you're getting a signal down there after I start taking pictures.
CMP: And the word you got on it was - was correct. It looks like window 5 is about the only window that can be used for the PCM cable.
CC: And, Endeavour, we won't be able to see that PCM real time, but we '11 Just assume that it 's coming down if you've got the PCM cable hooked up.
CMP: Okay, Bob. I got it hooked up.
CC: Thirty seconds to UV photos. 130/5 Tape
CMP: Okay, Bob. When I took the - the shade out of window 5, window 5 still appears very clean.
CC: And, Endeavour, two questions if you've got a chance, between now and terminator photo.
CMP: Say again on the terminator photos, Bob.
CC: Roger. Do you have time for a couple of questions, between now and the start of the terminator photos?
CMP: Yes, sure. Go ahead.
CC: Roger. First, any comments on the mass spec boom retraction you did a half hour ago?
CMP: No, no comments on it. And - I guess we're back to the position we were in before, that the thing is sort of half barber pole. And when I go back out with it - fiddle with it a little bit, the barber pole goes full up and then comes down about half-way again.
CMP: And that's where it stands right now.
CC: Okay. Second question - - and
CMP: I played with it for a while, then got busy in other things. But I'11 continue - I'11 continue working on it.
CC: Copy, Al. Second question, do you want me to con- tinue giving the - you these real-time marks on air - air-to-ground, Just before and after various camera passes?
CMP: Yes, I like the reminder, Bob.
CC: Okay; 30 seconds - -
CMP: Don't expect an answer, I'11 probably be busy doing it.
CC: Hopefully. Thirty seconds a good time?
CMP: And, Houston; 15.
CC: Go ahead. 15, go ahead.
CMP: Okay; for your info, the mass spec took about - oh, maybe seven or eight cycles this time, before it came all the way in. And the same operation as before.
CC: Roger; copy. It took you seven or eight cycles to get it all the way in.
CC: Thirty seconds; the terminator photo start.
CC: Terminator photo stop.
CC: MAPPING CAMERA, OFF. ·
CC: And, Endeavour; Houston. Be advised, we'd like _ accurate 15 seconds, ON; i second, OFF. No more than 16 or 17 seconds, ON.
CC: And, 15. Roger; thank you. Unfortunately, like _ everything else, the laser didn't do much good. We'd like now, MAPPING CAMERA to STANDBY; LASER ALTI_'I'ER, OFF. Then, we'11 do the RETRACT and DOOR, CLOSE. Over.
CMP: Okay_ Bob. We'11 go MAPPING CAMERA, OFF and LASER, OFF.
CC: We need MAPPING CAMERA, STANDBY, please.
CMP: Roger; STANDBY, and IMAGE MOTION, OFF, and LASER ALTIMETER, OFF. And retracting the - retracting the camera, now.
CC: And, Endeavour; Houston. Over.
CC: Roger, Al. If you could get us a film-budget status on the backside to give us when you come around, we'd appreciate it. And except for that, you' re GO for LOS.
CMP: All righty. Thank you, sir. And we'11 see if we can conjure one up for you.
CC: Good enough. Tape APOLLO 15 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CDR: Houston, Endeavour, go.
CC: Roger, if you ... Roger, if you guys give us an ACCEPT, we'11 send you up a state vector and time up-link.
CDR: Roger, you've got it.
CC: Copy. And if you fellows will give me a call in the middle of your eating there, when you've got time, we'11 do some talking at you.
CDR: Okay, give us about 5 minutes here.
CC: And 15, its your computer. Over.
CDR: Houston, Endeavour. We're ready to chitty-chat, if you like.
CC: Okay. While you guys are eating your supper there, it might be _ good time to get a report on your food so far. How's it been going?
CDR: Oh, I think we have consumed every meal as planned and we've made a pretty good cut into the pantry.
CC: You've made a pretty good cut into the pantry, you say?
CDR: Roger. That extra little box over there with extra little goodies.
CC: Okay, and can you gb_s give us any estimates on the water that you and Jim consumed on the surface, say in the LM and on the EVA, and any differences between this and what Al's been consuming?
P: _'_g': 1300
CDR: Not without sitting down and doing some thinking about it. We'11 be glad to do that, if you like.
CC: Roger. If that's not too much trouble, I guess we could start out by some estimate as to how much you guys were drinking in the LM and on the EVA. Was the drink bag adequate, or what?
CDR: Oh, I think that is probably a good discussion for the debriefing after the flight.
CC: Okay. Sounds like you are at least eating and drinking a lot so far. We are anxious for you all to continue eating and drinking well, because of the EVA yet to come.
CDR: Oh, okay. Well, if that's your - your interest, yes, we - we consumed quite a bit of water on the surface, and we were quite satisfied with what we had. We had plenty. And we've been eating and drinking a lot up here. I think everybody is in fine shape and ready to take care of what is on - on the Flight Plan the rest of the way.
CC: Sounds good. One other specific point we'd like to clear up, Dave, which I guess was a little muddled this morning. Did you and Jim take a Seconal last night or not?
CDR: No, there's been no medication taken by anybody on the flight.
CC: Okay. However, I - we down here would like to recommend for all three of you to take one tonight Just to make sure we get another good night's sleep.
CDR: I think that's unnecessary.
CC: Well, that's our recommendation anyway. And can you tell us who plans to sensor up tonight, Dave. -
CDR: Okay. Roger. I guess as per our agreement this morning, why - you'11 get a CMP and an I24P tonight.
CC: Roger; understand. And then we'11 press on with the normal Flight Plan tomorrow. And, Al, we'd like to have you - you wear the lightweight headset tonight, because then, we'd like to wake 131/3 Tape Just A1 up on schedule so he can do us a P20 to - give us some plus-X time on the mass spec. And so we'd like to - arrange it that way, if 'its conven- ient with you guys.
CDR: No, I don't think that's practical, Bob. You can't have one person awake in here and the other two sleeping. It - Just can't do it. understand.
CC: Okay; And to avoid what we had last night with all those last minute calls again and again and again, why don't you guys give us a final call just before you're ready to go to sleep. We'11 get a final status down here, and then we won't - we won't have to keep calling back tonight.
CDR: Oh, that's a good idea. All right. We'11 do that.
CC: It got a little embarrassing down here after a while.
CDR: Oh aw, that's okay. Yesterday was a long day.
CC: Roge_ that. And we got a TEI 69 pad down here, when Jim's ready to copy. And we're also ready to copy some torquing angles from that P52, if you got them. And we'd like you to leave your HIGH GAIN ANTENNA at plus 25 and 185 on YAW and in NARROW and REACQUIRE as you go around the corner this time.
CDR: Oh, okay. You want NARROW, REACQUIRE, and plus 25 and 185. We'11 do that. If you're ready to copy, I've got the P52.
CC: Roger. I'11 copy that now.
CDR: Okay. NOUN 05 was .01; NOUN 93 was plus.07, minus .47, minus .05. They were torqued out at 202: 00: 30.
CC: Roger. Copy .O1, plus .07, minus .47, minus .05, and 202:00:30.
CDR: Roger. That's cricket.
CC: And, Dave, we'd like OPTIC, ZERO, at this time, pie ase.
CDR: Oh, yes, OPTIC, ZERO. Hey, by the way, I - I should have said .007. Pardon me. I had n_f decimal point in the wrong spot.
CC: Understand .007. And was the - -
CDR: Just - Just put a zero in front of all - the three torquing numbers. The - the platform is too good, and the numbers are so small, we - we're not even thinking in three digits anymore.
CC: Okay. We got 007, 047, and 005. Understand.
LMP: Okay, Bob. I'm ready to copy the pad.
CC: Okay, Jim. It's TEI 69, SPS/G&N; plus 36245, plus 0.61, plus 0.92; 213:51:51.04; plus 2803.1, minus 0465.4, minus 0099.6; 179, 132, 353. The rest of the pad is NA. Ullage; four Jets, 12 seconds. Over.
LMP: Okay. Readback for TEI is SPS/G&N - -

UNKNOWN: - (Theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey")
CC: Good morning, fellows. We have only about 10 min- utes of coma left, and we'd like to start out the morning with an ACCEPT, so we can send you up a state vector. Are you up there?
CC: And, after giving us ACCEPT, we'd like to have you manually roll clockwise 40 degrees. And then we'd like to get the sharp end forward. I'11 give you the P20 when you're ready to copy.
CC: Good morning, Al. HOW are you doing?
CMP: Good morning, Karl. I'm doing Just fine.
CC: Righto. If you didn't hear what I said before, I'd like to repeat that we'd like to have ACCEPT, and we'11 send you up a state vector. And then we need to manually roll clockwise - -
CMP: Roger. You've got ACCEPT.
CC: - - Ri_to. Then we need to m_nually roll clock- wise 40 degrees, and I have here P20 data for you to get the sharp end forward.
CMP: Okay; we're rolling, and stand by t until I get a pen.
CMP: Okay, go ahead with the P20.
CC: Roger; P20, option 5; plus-X forward, SIM attitude. The time is 211 plus 40. ¥_tB 23 NOUN 78, plus 180.00. The attitude is 141, 000/177, 000. Understand.

Delete the next line, MAPPING CAMERA - delete MAPPING CAMERA, ON to STANDBY. And the third line, change MAPPING CAMERA, IMAGE MOTION, OFF, to MAPPING CAMERA, IMAGE MOTION, INCREASE. Barber pole plus four steps/ON.
CDR: Okay. 214:18, MAP CAMERA, IMAGE MOTION, INCREASE; barber pole plus four steps/ON.
CC: Roger. And did you get the MAPPING CAMERA - MAPPING CAMERA, ON, on T-start?
CDR: Oh, Roger. MAP CAMERA, ON, on T-start, and scratch the MAP CAMERA, ON to STANDBY.
CC: Roger. That takes care of ali the - ail the updates required for the next rev.
CDR: Roger. Understand. Thank you.
CC: 15, this is Houston. A couple of comments, and then a - one change in your G&C checklist. The comments are as follows. As you will note from the consumables update, we now have single-tank capabil- ity at the 40-amp level. And, concerning the mass spectrometer boom problem, it appears to us that this is temperature-associated problem. And the next time you retract the mass spectrometer boom, we suggest that you retract it only once for 4 minutes, and if it hasn't gone gray, Just leave it there. There is no need to go in and out until it turns gray. That won't be a critical problem until we come closer to a burn.
CDR: Okay -. I understand. Just retract it for 4 minutes and leave it there. Okay?
CC: That's right. And has somebody got a G&C checklist there on page 9-4?
CDR: Okay. Stand by. We'11 pull it out.
CDR: Ail right. I've got page 9-4. Go ahead.
CC: Ail right. We'd like to correct one of the short -- burn constants, and it's in coll_mn D, row 5. The number should be changed from I - 01605 - it should be changed to 01614.
CDR: Say again the location.
CC: It's column Delta, row 5.
CDR: Okay. I've got it now. I'm sorry. I thought you said B, Bravo. How about reading the number again, pleas e.
CC: Roger. The correct number is 01614.
CDR: Okay. 01614 by 01605.
CC: And whenever somebody tells me he's ready to stop breakfast and copy a pad, I have TEI-71 and also a mapping camera photo pad.
CDR: All right. Stand by l, please. Probably be a couple minutes.

CC: 15, this is Houston with Just a passing comment to Dave. We have Lee Silvers and Jim Head in the back room- available for any questions or comments concerning the lunar surface activities that you'd like to make. Is there anything on your mind you'd like to discuss with them?
CDR: Well, it shouldn't take more than about a couple of weeks, I guess, if we started now. I guess we got a lot to discuss with them. We've talked it over a little bit, and we've come to some con- clusions about rilles and mountains and those sort of things. And I - I guess, rather than get into the details now, we probably ought to wait until the debriefing. If they have any questions for us, we'd be happy to answer.
CC: Okay. It's my understanding that they didn't - you - yOU gave them so much data they didn't really have any questions left. But stand by, I'11 see if they - if they come up with some after you've invited them to. Joe says, hey, they Just might have - -
CC: - - something. So stand by.
CDR: Yes. That's right. I've never seen the day yet when those two didn't have some questions.
CC: You opened yourself up there, Dave.
CDR: Yes, that's good. We're ready.
CC: Lee and Jim are sitting right beside me here; and their comment is they - they don't really want to ask very many questions and perturb the debriefing a week from now. But they do Just have a couple. And the first one - the first one concerns a unique crater close to Scarp that you described as having about a 40-meter diameter, with a very soft rim. And the texture of the material in it was - instead of being fine angular fragments, was more in the form of clods. They'd like to know a little bit more, if - if possible, about its location relative to Scarp, and any other comments you can make about the unique - the particular uniqueness of this crater.
CDR: Okay, Houston. I guess our answer to that is that we had interpreted that particular crater as being Scarp. Perhaps it wasn't. Perhaps we were near Scarp and that was a somewhat smaller crater. But, I guess, as we remember it, that was the one we had called Scarp, and it was, I believe, the only crater we really sampled as we approached Rim Crater in the terrace there. And that particular crater had very soft rims - extremely soft, and all the frag- ments - the apparent fragments were very frangible. They Just fell apart like dirt clods. And we did sample some, and we had a discussion I think at the time, and - and I guess we still don't exactly agree relative to the amount of glass that was present in the fragments. Jim seems to think there was a fair amount, and I - I don't remember any in __ particular. But it was a fairly uniform crater. And all the debris around the crater - as I remem- ber, there was something like 20 percent or so of angular frags - all of it apparently would break apart very easy. And there were no solid fragments that we could see or distinguish. Of course, every- thing is covered by dust. And we did sample some. And I guess that's about the size - the size of it. Is there anything more specific you'd be interested in_ 137/7 Tape
CC: Dave, this particular crater sounds more and more interesting to the people down here. And I guess the next question is what - Was there anything about the crater, its shape or anything else, that would lead you to think it had a different origin than most of the other impact craters?
CDR: No, It - its depth-to-diameter ratio was about par for the - for the course up there. And it had a slightly raised rim, and the rim may have been somewhat higher than - than others. But I wouldn't be able to distinguish that specifically. It - it was a rather standard-appearing crater, until we walked up onto the rim, and it was extremely soft. And, of course, we only sampled one edge of the rim there. We didn't get any circumferential sampling on it. So it might have been a - a unique part. But it looked pretty uniform all the way around.
CDR: And we did get the appropriate photographs plus a pan at that site, which, I think, when we go over during the debriefing - perhaps we can extract some more of what we saw. As you remember, at that particular time, we were pretty well hustling, and we didn't have a chance to do much looking at the maps as we got there.
CC: They say that's great. Thanks a lot.
CDR: Okay. Anything else?
MCC: Hey, Dave. You've done a lovely job. You just don't know how we're Jumping up and down, down here.
CDR: Well, that's because I happened to have had a very good professor.
MCC: A whole bunch of them, Dave.
CDR: That's right. As a matter of fact, so many of them, it's Just hard to - hard to remember it all. But we sure appreciate all you all did for us in getting us ready for this thing. And I'11 tell you, I think Jim and I both felt quite comfortable when we got there, about looking around and - and seeing things. I Just wish we had had more time, because, believe me, there is an awful lot to be seen and done up there.
MCC: Yes. We think you defined the first site to be revisited on the Moon.
CDR: Well, as we go around in lunar orbit here, I can look down - and I could Just spend weeks and weeks looking. And I can pick out any number of superb sites down there which would take you several weeks to analyze on the surface. There is Just so much here. To coin a phrase, it's mind boggling.
MCC: Beautiful, Dave. Thank you so much.
CDR: Yes, sir. And I hope someday we eau get you all up here too. I - I think we really need to have some good professional geologists up here. As a matter of fact, good professional scientists of all disciplines, not only in lunar orbit, but right on the surface, because you all would just really have a field day, where - with your back- grounds and what you know. There's Just so much to be gained up here.
CC: Great, Dave. Thanks a lot.

CC: 15, Houston. If you're willing to listen, I have about a 3-minute update on the morning news.
CMP: Stand by 1, Karl.
CMP: Okay, Houston; 15. We're ready for the news.
CC: Roger, 15. The flight of Apollo 15 is still front- page news around the world. Even yesterday's rela- tively quiet activities were noted by most news media. The rail strike with the United Transpor- tation Union has ended, and 10 railroads that were out of operation for 18 days are back on the tracks. Growers in California were hardest hit by the strike, losing an estimated 45 million dollars in sales and related industries. President Nixon has asked Congress not to allow the use of federal funds to pay for busing school children. The administration also announced that it is appealing a bench mark court ruling against massive busing in the public - in the public schools of Austin, Texas. Treasury Secretary John B. Connally is attempting to stop a rumored increase in bank interest rates. Connally said he is distressed to hear reports that bank prime lending rates are to be raised again. Rates were increased only last month. New York Stock Exchange prices fell yesterday in the second largest decline of the year, with the Dow Jones industrial average dropping almost 15 points. Analysts say that the decline may have been caused by the rumored increase in interest rates. You got up too early to hear much news of last night's baseball games, but we can report that the Astros lost to the Cubs 5 to nothing. They did better Monday night, when they beat the Cubs 2 to 1. The weather report from the Houston area is one word: soggy. Rain has fallen off and on for more than 24 hours, and there was a long steady rain most of yesterday afternoon. Going to be a lot of grass cutting to do when you get back down here, guys.
CMP: Oh, yes; but we sure got nice sunny weather up here.
CC: No clouds up there, huh? That's amazing.
CMP: No. It's just clear as crystal.
CC: Thinking about all that sunshine up there rem_nds me that we're in a bind down here about your expo- -_ sure to UV, and we recommend that, on the several times on the next couple of orbits when you're re- quested to take the - the Lexan cover off of win- dow 5, that you alternate handling that photography to keep under the legal doses.
CMP: Ail right; we'11 do that.
CC: 15, Houston. The doctors down here with their - with their electrocardiograms see that the CMP - or at least they think the CMP - is on the - the biomed apparatus; and, according to the Flight Plan, they'd like to have the LMP on.
CMP: Okay. We thought we'd give you both, since you were sort of interested in that yesterday.
CC: Okay; that would be great.
CC: 15, Houston. We have a couple of camera pads when you have time to copy.
