CC: No. We want to hold the manurer until 55.
CC: America, Houston. then the VERB 49 as listed a little bit early here. That'11 put us in the hot-soak attitude.
CDR: Houston, America is on her way.
LMP: Houston, 17's getting the high gain up, if you want it. some - during the maneuver and should hold until the end of it. most of the afternoon, we got the - the tunnel totally dry, but the forward hatch is awful wet. I just thought I'd throw that out.
CDR: Houston, America. If you're ready, we'11 maneuver.
CC: Stand by; we're checking. Not yet. Temperatures aren't up as high as they would like. We'd like to hold 5 minutes at least.
CDR: Okay; we'11 just stand by for your call on the meneuver.
CC: Okay. APOLLO 17 AIR-TO-GROUND TAPE TRANSCRIPTION
CC: You guys aren't going to believe this, but Santa Claus just w_lked in the MOCR with a long white beard, red suit, black boots and all, and he's passing out presents to everybody.
LMP: How did he get there before we did? We just Saw him up here about 5 - 5 days ago.
CC: Well, he beat you back.
CC: I'11 ask him. I don't see anything yet.
CC: America, Houston. You can go ahead and start the VERB 49 maneuver. Have a change in the high gain angles, though, as printed there. Make it a plus 30 and 190, instead of minus 40 and 90. That's a plus BO and 190 on the high gain.
CDR: Okay, I got them, Gordy.
LMP: Gordy, when you get a minute, would you ask one of the Surgeons there what my heart rate peaked out at in the last 15 minutes or so?
CC: Okay, I'11 do that. I'm just looking at some of the presents here. Mine was a little Skylab food can - flip-toD can. It says, "CAPCOM's Postflight Dinner." And I'm pretty sure there's absolutely nothing in it, but I'm afraid to pull the lid off. The Surgeon's got a little plastic telephone that says "For Private Conversations 0nly."
CC: And your heart rate went to - - that can, Gordy. ll5 to 120.
LMP: Okay, what did the laMP's peak at? He wasn't do- ing anything. Gordy. Surgeon's. That was the LMP's. shovellike gadget with a sign on it that says "Trenching Tool." coin. on both sides.
CDR: Yes, that's what I figured.
CC: America, Houston. We're ready for a spinup now.
CC: Okay. It's looking good.
CC: Okay. First of all, RADAR - OFF.
CC: Okay; then HF ANTENNA number 2, RETRACT. And give us a mark, please. It should take about - a little over 2 minutes. L55° Okay, going to RETRACT -
CC: That's all right. Keep it. It doesn't matter; Just keep working on i there. Keep it in RETRACT.
LMP: Okay, it's in RETRACT - and stayed there.
CC: America, Houston. As you come up on roll of 30, we'd like you to - Okay, break, break - we would like the ANTENNA i switched to OFF now.
CC: And we got a good retract. Okay, for the guy on the - -
LMP: Gordy?
LMP: It was still barber pole when I went to OFF.
CC: Okay, that's the one we had trouble with before. That's what we expected. Okay, you can go number 2 to RETRACT now.
LMP: Okay, number 2 - RETRACT -
CC: Okay, and for whoever is driving the spaceship there, we'd like to stop the roll - stop the PTC at a roll angle of 30 instead of what's in the Flight Plan. That's 30 degrees. And you're passing through 7B right now. Over.
CDR: Okay, Gordy. I got it. I'm looking at NOUN 20. We'11 stop it at 30.
UNKNOWN: different high gains to go with that attitude. They'11 be minus 24 and 206.
CDR: Okay. We got them.
CC: Jack, Houston. You should be retracted now and have a gray. And you can go OFF if you do.
LMP: That's affirm and congratulations.
LMP: And the switch is OFF.
CC: Okay, and those high gain angles I passed you are probably misleading. It looks like the high gain ought to just hang on when you stop this maneuver. Okay.
CC: America, Houston. It'11 be about 5 or 6 minutes until we finish the dump before we can go ahead with that VERB 49, in case you got something to do.
CDR: Okay, Gordy. Thank you.
CC: Okay, America. We're ready for the maneuver now.
CDR: Okay, Houston. Here she comes.
CDR: America is on her way again.
CDR: Gordo, I see two DAP changes here. You want to change this one during the maneuver or - after the maneuver - and then the next one before the next maneuver?
CDR: Sounds - that sounds good here. Okay.
CC: America, Houston. We need the UV cover closed. The Sun's getting in there.
CC: We should be safe now. Open the UV cover, please.
LMP: Doesn't it bother you to wield such power, Gordy?
CC: I'm getting accustomed to it.
CC: Roger. Standing by for a weather report.
LMP: (Laughter) Afraid I don't know whether or not there's any weather down there.
CC: Guess you can't see too much of it, huh?
LMP: No, sir. You're down to a fingernail, if you'11 pardon the expression. It - Oh, let's see - it's about a - what do you think, Gene? - about a one-eighth Earth - one-sixth to one-eighth Earth?
LMP: Got picture, Ron. (Chuckle) You can see it later. (Laughter)
CDR: Okay, Gordo, 286:52 on the Flight Plan and 287:40 - Is there an update on that?
CMP: put his biomed harness on - oh, I guess 4 to 6 hours ago.
CC: Yes, let me check on that. I - There was some- thing on this when I left last night, but I'11 have to get the latest here.
CC: America, we're ready now for the steps at i - 286:43 - CMC MODE - FREE and AUTO. VERB 48, VERB 49, and so forth. On the biomed, we're going to leave it up to you. Whoever - draw straws or whatever - whoever you decide to wear the biomed tonight, it's your choice.
CDR: That's easy. Jack and I will put it on in the morning. How's that?
CMP: You get to watch Captain America tonight then.
CC: America, Houston. We'd like OMNI Alfa.
CC: America, Houston. We can take the high gain now that you're there. The angles in the book, minus 37 and 48 and AUTO.
CC: America, Houston. We're ready for VERB 74.
CDR: Coming at you, Gordo.
CC: Okay, we got a good dump. Thank you.
CMP: 0keydoke. 190/1 Tape APOLLO 17 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CC: Okay. We've been thinking about the - the busted Snoopy hat and have a suggestion on a - on a con- figuration that we'd like to present to you as an alternative to the plan you mentioned earlier. See what you think about it.
CDR: Hey, Gordo.
CDR: Can - can you hold off with that update? Ron's off the headset right now, and it'11 be a few minutes. And I'd like to hear him - have him hear that.
CC: Okay. And just as a brief introduction before he gets on, we're really thinking about letting Jack have the broken one. Nothing personal, Jack, but think that it's probably more important that you and Ron have the - the all-up ones. Over.
CDR: Yes, we've already discussed that, but let - let Ron talk over with what his plan is, and let's hear yours.
CDR: Okay. And for food for thought, you might think about that. We looked at a way of just taping the electronic part of the lightweight headset right to - to his helmet. It looked pretty good. So chew on that one for a while, and we'11 be back with you and you can come up with your plan.
CC: Yes, that sounds like that's - that's our plan, essentially, but I'11 go through it in case there's anything that either you or us haven't thought of about it.
CC: We'd like to give you what EECOM has said should be the final H2 fan configuration for this mission. H2 FAN 2, OFF, and 3, AUTO.
LMP: Okay, H2 FAN 2 is going OFF and 3 to AUTO. And this is truly a historic event.
CC: It's been a pleasure to share it with you, Jack.
CDR: Isn't that the way we started? Isn't that the way we started?
CC: I think it is. Affirm.
LMP: Very appropriate. My congratulations and n_ hat off to the EECOM.
CC: America, Houston. We'd like you to spin it up on B-2 and D-2, and we have one change in the HIGH GAIN REACQ and NARROW angles. Instead of a YAW of 90, we want a YAW of 45.
CDR: Okay, I'11 set them at a YAW of 45.
CC: You probably weren't aware of it, but your IR is chilly. Would you turn it on up until bedtime to warm it up a little, please?
CDR: Okay, that's only - that's only appropriate. IR is ON.
CMP: Okay, Gordy. I just spun up America for you.
CMP: Houston, America. The - the CMP is in biomed.
CC: This probably isn't too good a time to have an emergency.
CC: The reason I say that is we got a big Chinese feast going on here in the MOCR.
CMP: (Laughter) Oh, you do?
CC: Had some food brought in, and everybody's probably more interested in eating than the America right now, I must a_m_t.
CMP: (Laughter) Uh-oh.
CMP: Houston, America. How's the delivery girl situa- tion? Is it as good as it used to be?
CC: Oh, yes. Better, if anything.
CMP: Oh, sure. Go ahead. I'm just sitting here right now.
CC: Okay. Geno mentioned that you'd already essentially taped the electronic part to your Snoopy hat. I guess, first of all, we're suggesting that you rig - rig this up for Jack, and let you have the good one just to be sure. And I'11 - I'11 quickly run through the steps we have. I think maybe this will And be the easiest way. you can then listen and if you've done it already or if you - if this men- tions something that you haven't thought of, it'11 at least accomplish the job. They have about 15 steps here, but I don't think it'11 take long to summarize it. They suggest taking the headband off the lightweight headset; in other words, taking the electronic part off the headband, straighten the mike boom, and straighten the - the comm carrier boom, the appropriate one for whichever ear Jack wears his molded earpiece in, then rotate the lightweight headset mike boom 90 degrees. They found that was necessary to get it to face your mouth when - when you end up with this all taped on there. You have to sort of twist it, force it 90 degrees. Then lay the lightweight headset boom along the comm carrier boom with the electronic part on the outside of your - your earpiece on the Snoopy hat. And the - the hose that goes to the molded earpiece facing downward coming out down and with the - the mike boom i inch beyond the comm carrier mike boom tip. And then tape the two booms together for the entire length of the co-w, carrier boom. And then rebend the whole works back so that the tip is back in front of your mouth. And then tape the electronics box onto the side of the ear- piece, and you can run tape all the way around the lower part of the earpiece, and you can lift up on the leather-covered doughnuts on the inside there, pull that loose and then run tape underneath. Just pull the lower part of it loose, run tape all the way around to really securely anchor the electronics box to the outside of the - the earpiece so there's no chance that that will slip off or shift. Then you can kind of push the leather earseal back down on top of the tape inside. Let's see. Then - -
CMP: Yes. So far - so far, we're right with you.
CC: Okay. Then take the comm carrier electrical lead, and double it back on itself, and - and tape it together so that it doesn't flop around. And now you've got it essentially set up. I - I've lost my place here in the sequence. Just a second. Okay. Place the molded earpiece - Well, actually, one further modification was then to run the - the hose, which is now external, up underneath the leather doughnut and out through the ear opening, and - and pull it on through. Now you - to put this all on, you'11 have to stick the molded ear- piece in your ear and then as you pull the Snoopy on, sort of pull the slack out of the - the audio hose there so you don't end up with a lot of hose coiled up in the earcup. And the - the remaining hose then just sort of dangles down beside your neck. Fasten the chinstrap, and make sure that the hose isn't pinched or - anywhere. Readjust the mike boom to a half inch from your - in front of your lips, and make sure one of the foam parts of the mike boom is facing your mouth. Okay. Then you just route the - the electrical lead and the - the plug on down through the slot and the ICG, and put - put all the excess length of the connectors and the - the excess stuff down inside the ECG [sic] so it doesn't flop around, and of course mate the pins, the connectors, and snap the ICG closed at the front to be sure that it'11 capture. One thing they did try in this configuration is - was - was to see if you could get the helmet on over all that, in case a suited reentry became necessary at short notice, and it does go on. Randy Hester tried it. And with just a little cocking of the head, you can get the helmet on over. How's that sound to you?
CC: Okay. If you got any questions or anything, I've got a demo model sitting right in front of me here, so that we can just discuss it real time as you get it set up. I assume you're going to try to work that up tonight. Is that right?
CMP: Yes, we can, I guess. Okay, and the - the reason you'd rather have Jack do it than me is simply - simply because of the redun - redund - I can't say the word. (Laughter) Redundancy.
CC: That's affirmative. It gives you and Gene the - the prime - best equipment, and we see no - no reason why this won't work, but like you say, it's only one mike in place of two on the other ones.
LMP: I'm surprised you didn't have us tape two headsets to the Snoopy helmet.
CC: Well, Jack_ we'11 just take that chance.
LMP: Well, it took 14 days, but I finally know where I stand.
CC: I do have a question. Well, first of all I give you a little weather for the South Pacific tomorrow, if you're interested.
LMP: Stand by and let's get the commander on the headset here in a minute. Then you can pass it up.
CMP: Well, I'11 let her go this time.
CC: Okay, we got them.
CMP: Okay, we'11 torque at 59:45.
CC: America, we would like to stop the roll this time around as you come up on 146 roll.
CMP: Okay, we'11 stop it on 146 roll.
CC: America, Houston. When you get her stopped there, we'd like you to hold the attitude until we get the DSE dump before doing the VERB 49.
UNKNOWN: Okay, Gordo. We're there now.
CDR: Hey, Houston; America. We can take those words on the weather in the recovery area, if you like.
CC: Okay. It can be summed up by one word, "Excellent." 2000, scattered, and high-scattered are forecast. I'm looking at a satellite picture - high-resolution satellite picture that shows you in the middle of a big high, and she's just - very faint hint of clouds in the area. And the trend of the weather movement is such that you're going into a - an even clearer area by tomorrow. The wind will be 090 at 10; visibility, 10; 2994 on the altimeter. It's of no consequence to the Navy guys, but the landlubber will be glad to learn that there is 3-foot wave heights, and the temperature is 77 degrees. Over.
CDR: Sounds like a fighter pilot's day to come aboard. I think they'11 be able to take those seas.
CC: (Laughter) Roger. Okay, you can start the VERB 49 if you wish.
CC: America, Houston. One other request you might be thinking about that you'd - and that is any delta to the nominal entry stowage that we might not know about we'd like to know about before you go to sleep tonight so we can think about the c.g.
CMP: Okay, Gordo. We'11 be able to give you those.
CC: America, Houston. We're ready to spin it up.
CMP: Okay. NO COMMUNICATIONS
CDR: Gordo, we're just finishing chow and doing a little cleaning up, and I'm doublechecking the stowage and so forth. But we do have a minute. Is there by any chance any late news? Anything going on today that might be of interest?
CC: Okay. I haven't heard of anything. You did get a news report this morning? Is that correct?
CDR: Yes. We sure did.
CC: Okay. I'11 see if there's any deltas to that. It'11 take me a couple of minutes.
LMP: Okay. How's the Houston weather today?
CC: It was overcast but warmer. Kind of standard winter weather for around here. Not nearly so frigid as it has been the last couple days.
CDR: Okay, Gordo; the entry stowage will be as - as in the Flight Plan Supplement, with the exception that there is a - a small LM jettison bag, max weight of about 25 pounds, which will be - which is already, as a matter of fact, packed in A-7.
CDR: And the presently used jettison bag weight really isn't very much at all, that's just for house- keeping trash and so forth. We will tie between A-2 and A-3, and there's probably not, at the most, more than 5 pounds there.
CDR: And right now we haven't seen any specific spot to tie down the LEVAs. If you've got a recommen- dation, we'11 take it. If not, we'11 just pick a spot down in the LEB area to tie them down.
CC: Okay. I'11 see if we have a plan for that.
CC: America, Houston. I've got an update to the news.
CDR: Okay, Houston. America's listening.
LMP: Huh! Merry Christmas.
CDR: Thank you for the news, Gordo.
CDR: That's a very enjoyable evening to go to bed with on our final night of the flight.
CC: Before you turn in, we got a little shopping list to run down with you if you're - nothing to write down, but if you're ready to listen.
CC: Okay. The Surgeons are, first of all, request that Ron press on his sensors. They're looking like they're getting loose according to the data here. They also reco - recommend for Ron that if he's still using the nose drops - I guess he has been - they recommend that he take one decon- gestant pill before going to sleep and one after breakfast in the morning. It's a suggestion. It's his option. The thought being it might help in clearing your ears during that final descent. You may leave the optics power on for more heat in the cabin if you wish. We'd like you to stop charge in battery B. Over.
CDR: Okay. He's taking that off the line now; off the charge.
CC: Okay. And we'd like the IR, OFF.
CDR: Okay. It's OFF, Gordy.
CC: Okay. Let's see, we owe you an answer on what to do with the LEVAs. I guess they were supposed to be on the helmets in the PGA bag. Is that going to be a real pain to get at, and put them there?
CDR: No, it's not going to be a pain at all, Gordo; it's just impossible.
CC: Okay, well -
CDR: There's just no room in there at all - not - none at all.
CC: Okay. I'11 - probably not have an answer for you tonight, but first thing in the morning - some- place to put them.
CDR: Okay. It won't be any problem strapping them some- where, but we thought maybe you had a better idea than we did; if not, when we get our reck bags tied down and all in place, we'11 take a look at a good spot for the LEVAs and let you know.
C: - I don't know where you are on the checklist - the - just a reminder to zero the optics before you turn in. And I'd like to - say for the whole White Team, who are just - here in another hour, will finish up their - their work with the Apollo Program, and myself included, that this sure has been a pleasure working with not only the two best spacecraft the program has seen but we think the best and most cooperative and - crew also. And it's been a privilege in my esti- matio and a real pleasure, too, and looking forward to seeing you on Thursday.
CDR: Well, Gordo, those are awful kind words, and we do appreciate it very much, but I think you know how we feel about the help you guys give us down there. And - well, it really makes our job easy up here. From the Cape back to the Pacific is - it's the guys from the trench all the way up to the top back there, and that's what it's really all about. We thank you, those are good words, but just consider them reciprocal also.
CMP: We appreciate it there, White Team.
CDR: Gordo, we'11 hang on the air here and we're going to finish up our presleep checklist and we'11 just give you one final buzz before we go off on the voice switch.
CDR: By the way, the Earth is sure starting to get big.
CC: Okay. You're about 80,000 miles out.
CDR: Okay, outstanding. I guess, based upon your midcourse 7, that that's a good sign, isn't it? That it's getting big?
CC: That's what it's supposed to do.
CDR: It's a - although there's not much of it to see, it's really sort of spectacular because the crescent is getting smaller and smaller although the Moon is getting - is getting larger, and of course the crescent we're looking at now is the Pacific. But even if there were landmasses in there, I don't think we could see much besides the reflection off the clouds - and a - well, in this case, the ocean. But - it's really a pretty spectacular sight because out the other window, now that we're on an intervertical [?] PTC, we've got a full Moon looking back at us. And it's sort of a poetic place to be the night before entry.
CC: Yes, I'11 bet it is.
CDR: Hang in there, babe, and we'11 see you for sure Thursday.
CC: Okay; it's a deal.
CDR: Houston, how's the C_s biomed now?
CC: Okay, Ron, looks real good.
CC: I got a final on the Liberty Bowl. Must have been exciting. John Young should be happy. Georgia Tech squeaked through, 31 to 30.
CDR: Looks like there's some pretty good football games coming up this weekend, too.
CC: That's right, in the pros.
CDR: Gordy, we'd like to go back to AUTO on the GLYCOL EVAP TEMP IN, you concur?
CC: That's fine with the EECOM. Your choice.
CDR: Okay. We're just going to go back to AUTO on the switch.
CDR: And we also would like to take that inverter off. It's getting a little warm in here now and this FmC ought to be pretty comfortable tonight.
CDR: Okay, we'11 take INVERTER number 3 OFF. And I think the POWER's OFF, also.
CC: Ail right. Go ahead, America; Houston. good night.
CC: What can I say? I'm crying.
CC: That's about all I've got to do.

CMP: Hey, Houston. This is America. That's mighty fine.
CC: Roger, America. It's Houston. We're ready to have you come home today.
CMP: Hey, mighty fine. We're all set, too.
CC: Okay, might read you a page - -
CMP: Okay, we've been waiting a long time for Anchors Aweigh. And we've missed it. (Laughter)
CC: I imagine --
CMP: You going to play it again?
CC: - - imagine you'11 hear it a couple of more times today, too.
CMP: Oh, okay. But if we could hear it again, that'd be great.
CC: It'11 take them awhile to cue it up, and maybe we'11 work on that. Let me give you guys a few items here while you're thinking. Number 1, the old weather report: 2000 scattered - high scat- tered - 10 miles visibility, 3-foot seas, winds are out of the east at 10 knots. Just about exactly what you had yesterday, and probably what we've been telling you for 2 or 3 days. Looks like we're going to have a mideourse 7 this morning, about 2 feet per second. Pretty much just to really center us in the corridor. We' re already within the corridor now, with no problems. We're going to exit PTC at a different roll angle. We'11 read that up to you later when you get the Flight Plan out; but just so you don't go ahead and exit early, we will be sending you something up on that exit PTC to new roll angle. And as far as the LEVAs are concerned, you guys were looking for a place to stow those last night, and what we're suggesting is putting them in the sleep restraint on top of A-8 where you've got one suit stowed, apparently. And we're suggesting you put one of those on the helmet on that PGA. And the other one, as it were, loose and in the bag. Over.
CMP: Houston, America. We've got the PGAs in the bag. (Laughter) Hope that's right.
CC: You got all three of them in the L-shaped bags, or have you got - The understanding down here, appar- ently, in talking last night was that one was in a sleep restraint on top of A-8 - in the sleep restraint bag.
LMP: suits in the bottom - I mean, the commander and
LMP: suits at the bottom part of it. CMl° suit's in the top of it - of the L-shaped bag.
CC: Okay, we'11 work on that. And we've got something else for you here - just a minute.
CC: (Music: Anchors Aweigh)
CDR: Thank you, Robert. Most appreciative.
CC: Okay, we aim to please. That's also, I might tell you guys, the third time we've played that this morning, although you's only heard it twice. We played it once before we sent the crew alert.
CMP: CMP has no comment.
CC: Okay, America, we'd like to request MEDIUM on the HIGH GAIN antenna, please.
CMP: Okay, you have REACQ and MEDIUM. 197/3 Tape
CC: Okay. And I guess now on the LEVAs, what we're suggesting is you put them - put the two of them in by themselves in a sleep restraint and tie it down on top of A-8. And I've got a lot of fancy words about how to tie it down on top of A-8, if you guys can't figure out how to do it. I can read it off to you, or we can leave it to your intuitive good sense.
CMP: Well, so far, we've kept pretty much with most of your recommendations around here. I think we could probably hack that one, too.
CC: Roger. 198/1 Tape

CMP: Got that now.
CMP: Houston, America, with the food and medical report.
CC: Stand by on that, Ron. We've got an antenna switch coming up. As soon as we get you back on comm, we'11 go ahead with it.

CC: And, America, Houston. I've got a couple of other items on this Flight Plan updates, if you're ready to copy now.
CC: Okay, at 301:50, 301:50, add "UV COVER, CLOSED."
CC: Okay, and then on the other page there. At 302:06, delete the line, "UV COVER, CLOSE."
CC: The next change here is to the Entry Checklist and to the entry cue card.
CC: On the Entry Checklist, page 1-3 between steps 23 and 24, it's actually part of step 23. S-BAND OMNI antenna Charlie, change that to Delta - on the S-BAND OMNI antenna, Delta.
CDR: Okay, we've got Delta at horizon check attitude. Checklist, where it says, "Yaw back to zero degrees" after SEP, we would like you to insert, "Select OMNI Charlie" - OMNI Charlie, at that time. And that will be also required on your entry cue card at 45 minutes where it says, "Yaw to zero," you'11 have to be OMNI Charlie, select OMNI Charlie.
CDR: Okay, we've got it covered everywhere.
CC: Okay, and the reason for that is for better coverage going through Hawaii and that and then OMNI Charlie is coming back up on the ARIA.
CC: And, America, Houston. Just one word to the CMP, if you have a chance. One of your EKG sensors seems to be loose, if you can tighten it up a little bit.
CMP: Okay, I'11 start pressing on it.
CC: America, Houston. You're getting pretty close to your 306 roll.
CDR: I'm watching here, Bob. NOUN 20.
CC: We'd like AUTO on the HIGH GAIN.
CC: America, Houston. We'd like ACCEPT; we've got your entry REFSMMAT.
CDR: Okay. You have ACCEPT.
LMP: Okay, Houston. IR is coming ON. Houston, do you copy? The IR's ON and the COVER's coming OPEN.
CDR: Okay, Bob. Spacecraft is configured in SCS as per the Flight Plan up through the P52.
CDR: Roger. We're with the BLOCK. 199/1 Tape
CMP: And, Houston; America. Have you copied the DSKY?
CC: Roger, Ron. We've got you NOUN 05.
CC: And we've got your NOUN 9Bs.
CMP: Okay, we'11 torque at 55:45.
CC: Ron, while you're doing your maneuvering, no need to answer, but Just a reminder. Due to the - stop- ping your roll angle differently, you're under the EI REFSMMAT attitude, your roll will be about 046, and you'11 see a max yaw of about 64 degrees during this gyro torquing.
CMP: (Laughter) Okay, thanks for calling.
CMP: It sounded like yesterday you might have had a cold, and it sounds like it might be a little worse today.
CC: No, no. Feeling great.
CC: That's my "get serious and get you home" voice, see?
CMP: (Laughter) Okay, perfect.
CMP: Okay, Houston. This is the coarse align torquing angles, and we'11 torque at 08:45.
CC: Stand - Okay, go ahead. That's fine.
CMP: You want me to read them down to you?
CC: No, that's all right. We didn't need them.
CMP: Okay, I didn't think so.
CC: And Just for your information, I might pass along the drift checks on the platform have been extremely good, and the platform is in real good condition. I'm sure you're - -
CMP: Hey, mighty fine. What kind of values - average values have you been coming up with? I remember some in lunar orbit, but I don't know if - they haven't come back since {hen.
CC: You're down like 0.005 degrees per hour, down in the thousandths of degrees per hour.
CMP: (Laughter) That's -that's not bad at all, is it?
CC: No, that's - you could take it right back to the Moon if you wanted to, by golly.
CMP: Yes, sure could.
CDR: Okay, Bob. GDC is aligned, and we are in CMC.
CC: America, Houston. If you'11 give us ACCEPT, we'11 give you an MCC-7 target load, a target vector, and an entry vector.
CDR: Okay, you have ACCEPT.
CC: And, America, we've got the MCC-7 and the entry pads for you whenever you're ready to copy.
CDR: Okay. Stand by 1. And you might be interested to know, we have had no problems whatsoever locking the YY strut on this flight.
CC: Good show. We copy that.
LMP: Okay, Bob. Ready for midcourse 7.
CC: Roger. Midcourse 7, RCS/G&N; 26686; NOUN 48s are not applicable; 301:18:00.34; plus 0002.1, plus all zeros, minus 0000.1; 000, 130, 000; HA is not appli- cable, plus 0022.9; 0002.1, 0:09, 0002.1; sextant star is 31, 329.9, 34.8. Rest of the pad is not applicable. Set stars, Sirius and Rigel; 273, 256, 347. One note, we would like two-jet plus-X RCS using quads Bravo and Delta. I'11 say again, two- jet plus-X RCS quads Bravo and Delta. Another note, HIGH GAIN angles: PITCH, minus 83; YAW, 2_4. Over.
CC: And, America, the computer's yours.
LMP: Okay, going BLOCK. Okay, Bob. Here's your read- back. It's a midcourse 7, RCS/G&N; 26686; NOUN 48 is NA; 301:18:00.34; plus 0002.1, plus all zeros, minus 0000.1; 000, 130, 000; HA is NA, plus 0022.9; 0002.1, 0:09, 0002.1; 31, 329.9, 34.8. Rest of pad is NA. Sirius and Rigel; 273, 256, 347. Ullage is two jets plus-X RCS quads B and D. That's Bravo and Delta. HIGH GAIN: PITCH, minus 83; and YAW is 244. Over.
CC: Roger, Jack. Good - good readbaek except it's not ullage. It's just Your two-jet burn.
LMP: Well, okay. Two-jet burn, then.
CC: And, Jack, we have the entry pad. Standing by for your call.
LMP: Okay, Houston. We're ready to copy.
CC: Okay, it's into the MIDP_C area; 000, 153, 000; 304:01:37, 268; NOUN 61s minus 17.88, minus 166.13; 06.4; 36090, 6.49; 1044.9, 36172; 304:18:37; 00:29; NOUN 69 is not applicable; DO 4.00, 02:09; 00:17, 03:37, 07:39; sextant star is 13, 117.3, 15.5; boresight star is not applicable; lift vector is up. I've got six comments. You can take those now, or we can get the readback and then go through the comments.
LMP: Go ahead on the comments, and take them a little slower than usual, Bob.
CC: Okay. Comment number 1: Use nonexit EMS pattern. Comment number 2: RET 90K, 06:01. RET mains, 08:26. RET landing, 13:17. Constant g is roll right. And the last con_nent: GET moonset, 304:16:14. Over.
LMP: Okay, Roberto. That's mid-PAC; 000, 153, 000; 304:01:37, 268; minus 17.88, minus 166.13; 06.4; 36090_ 6.49; 1044.9, 36172; 304:18:37; 00:29, NOUN 69 is NA; 4.00, 02:09; 00:17, 03:37, 07:39; 13, 117.3, 15.5; boresight star is NA; lift vector is up.

CC: Roger, Jack. Good readback. That should be the last of the pads.
LMP: Okay, sir. Give my hand a rest.
CMP: Okay, Houston. Changing the DAP for PD [?] on the two-jet plus-X.
CDR: Hello, Houston; this is America.
CDR: has - there's no biomed electrolyte sponges in the spacecraft, either in the LM kit we brought back or in the command module kit. So it looks like I'11 be going in without biomed.
CC: Hope you can make it, Geno, without that.
CDR: (Laught er )
CMP: Let me know when you want the numbers vhere, Gene.
CMP: ... 86.8, going normal. (Laughter) There's the commander's ALARM. That's good.
CMP: Okay, plus 329.90. Flus 34.800. And we - star 31.
CMP: And, Houston, we've got a minus 29.2 on the DELTA-V test function of the EMS.
CMP: And star - star sextant check is good there, Houston.
C: Okay. You guys can go ahead and damp now.
CMP: (Laughter) Must be accelerating ... m_ EMS pump.
CMP: Well, I'11 be darned.
CMP: And, Houston, you go to ENTRY and NORMAL on the null bias check. EMB is counting like a son of a gun. (Laughter) Almost as fast as the DELTA-V test but not quite.
CC: Roger. You're really smoking along, aren't you?
CMP: (Laughter) Well, I wouldn't think it would sense that, but - -
CMP: Anyhow, we'11 use burn time and - NOUN 85 for the - the burn.
CC: Ron, you're happy with your EMS and null bias check, aren't you?
CMP: Negative. Not on the null bias check, no. I'11 give you a count in a minute. I'm going to redo the EMS DELTA-V test, and then go back and try another null bias check. But it looked like it was counting from about 100 to - to 75 in 30 seconds, but let me check that out.
CMP: Okay. Did the DELTA-V test, and that time we got a minus 20.3.
CMP: Okay, Houston. They started at minus 100 on the null bias check; 30 seconds at 118.8.
CMP: One minute, 137.8.
CC: Ron, would you verify those are negative numbers?
CMP: That's affirmative. They're negative.
CMP: Okay, Houston. We've got a little bit of time here. And looks like I've still got three EMS tests left. I'd like to go ahead and do another EMS test on that, and we'11 see if that integrator is all fouled up completely - on the range integrator.
CC: Okay, Ron. 'We agree.
CMP: Okay, TEST i looks all right.
CMP: And TEST 2 is okay; .05 G light is ON. Okay, going to TEST 3; 10 seconds -
CMP: MARK it. Upper light came on.
CMP: Okay, a 58.0 in the range counter -
CMP: MARK it. Okay, it's slowing down going across -
CMP: MARK it . Ah-ha. Okay. G line comes across at 9 z - g's (laughter), and range indicator indicates 0.0. Out st anding.
CMP: And test 5 works all right.
CMP: Well, looks like a P41 here. What've you got now?
CDR: ... 9, 130, and 359. Oh, about 25 minutes from the burn, 25.
CMP: Think you can get those things done by that time?
CMP: Okay, just so I won't forget it, let's go ahead and trim it.
CMP: Okay, we are trim_ed. About 1 minute .... 24 min- utes to the burn.
CMP: Both ...
CMP: Houston, America. Does it look like we're going to hack it on the waste water tank there - ... out there?
CC: Ron, yes. We're not going to dump the waste water tank at this time, and we won't dump it after midcourse 7 of course.
CMP: (Laughter) Okay. Just wanted to make sure.
CMP: is looking good.
CMP: About 18 minutes yet.
CC: Oh, Ron, we've been kicking around this EMS test and the null bias test and that, and we concur on this burn using NOUN 85s and your burn time as your cues and not using EMS. We would like, however, for you to bias the EMS. Set in a plus 118.8 at - and it will go to NORMAL at T. minus 30 seconds zg and we'd Just be interested in what the EMS does under, a very small g field like this.
CMP: Okay. We'11 set in at plus 118.8 and turn it to NORMAL at T. minus 30 seconds. And I'11 try to zg look at it at the end of burn time or go to STANDBY at that point in time so we can make a good hack on it.
CC: Roger. That'd be great, Ron_ and we see no problem for entry with EMS.
CMP: Roger. Mighty fine.
CMP: We've really got the Christmas spirit out the window here. Looks like it's really snowing.
CC: (Laughter) Roger. Glad it's not snowing on us with that stuff.
CMP: (Laughter) Oh, it's frozen.
CMP: Okay, Gene. Let me read through the P41 here just to make sure we got everything. Okay, we're in SIM basic configuration, I guess. Yes, the IR's 0N, and it won't hurt anything. UV's ON, but at this point in time, it won't make any difference, I guess. CMC is ON, ISS is ON, SCS is operating. We tested the caution and warning, the DELTA-V test works, null bias ... And DELTA-Vc, we'11 set that up.
CMP: Okay. We got 118.8 and DELTA-V in STANDBY. BMAGs are caged and RATE 2.
C: OFF. Okay. I got the DAP. VERB 04 NOUN 46 ENTER. CSM. Don't use A/C. B/D Use for plus-X ..... DEAD BAND, one-half degree B/D per second. Use for ROLL. Okay.
CMP: Okay, ROT CONTROLLER ACs are ON, DIRECTs are ON. ... 13 minutes. Okay, I got the DET set. Looks like it agrees. And we're in CMC and AUTO. We're in the burn attitude. Done the boresight and sex- tant star check. We're in P41, have maneuvered to the right attitude.
CMP: And we're still in RATE 2. CMC, AUTO. Okay, let me realign the old GDC.
CMP: Okay, the old GDC is aligned. Let's see. MANUAL ATTs are in RATE COMMAND.
CMP: The DEAD BAND RATE to LOW. LIMIT CYCLE is OFF. ATT 1, RATE 2.
CMP: Okay, stand by for 5 minutes. And we're 10 minutes from the burn, Gene.
CMP: And, Jack, burn time is 9 seconds - 9 seconds. And we'11 trim X only to 0.2 foot per second.
CMP: Houston, America. Does this kind of change our entry angle, what, about 0.2 - 0.2 degree?
CC: 0.2 of a degree, Ron.
CDR: Which way? Does it steepen it or shallow it up?
CC: It'11 make you a little more shallow. Very little shallow - -
CMP: Oh, okay. Yes, that's what I thought, okay.
CMP: time we do this, we,11 have to allow a little BUSS/dumping, more time for the - the I think, prior to the burns.
CMP: Roger. We're GO for midcourse number 7.
CDR: Is one of those going the other way?
CMP: I guess they go in all directions. It Just looks like they're - they're looping by window i here.
CMP: That's only 2.2 foot per second.
CMP: Okay, we have trim. There ... down there.
CC: Roger, America. You're looking good.
CMP: Yes, burn time is 9.6. Clock's right on.
CMP: Yes, that's right. It'11 go out automatically within 30 seconds. Okay.
CDR: (Laughter) I wonder what we've got now ....
UNKNOWN: seconds, we'11 go EMS to NORMAL,
CMP: DEAD BAND, TRANS CONTROL, AC DIRECTs, CMC, AUTo.
CMP: ... Ten seconds to go, Jack. 2, i -
CDR: We're burning, Houston.
CMP: Okay, got her? And I stopped it right at 9 seconds. There's your NOUN 85_
CC: We're looking at them.
CDR: Houston, looks like the burn was right on the money. You saw the residuals, and the burn was a 9-second burn, on time.
CC: Roger, America. It looked good.
CMP: Ah-ha, I get to get out of Ey g suit.
CMP: You know, while I think about it, Houston, I've noticed it throughout the - the flight here. In the simulator, CMC control will allow your rates - you know - to bounce back and forth maybe up to, oh, sometimes 0.1, more than likely 0.05 degree per second as it trims within the dead band. In four-jet translations, as well as in two-Jet trans- lations, your rates get up to about almost 0.4 degree per second as it's damping within its own dead band there.
CMP: Okay, we'11 get that. BATTERY net presumably will stay OPEN, though, is that correct?
CC: Stand by on that, Ron. That's affirmative, Ron. 199/11 Tape
CMP: Okay, we'11 leave the BATTERIES in OPEN.
CMP: Okay, Houston. The dump PRESSURE RELIEF valve is in OFF.
CC: And, America; Houston. We'd like WIDE on the HIGH GAIN.
CMP: (Laughter) Okay, the old HIGH GAIN is on WIDE and AUTO.
CC: Jack, we're just more or less trying to fill up our data book down here and if you haven't already done one, we'd - like any free time, if Ron would run another null bias check just to see if the drift changed when we did that little bitty burn.
UNKNOWN: Okay. I'11 mention that to him.
CC: Go ahead, America. any
LMP: Yes, Bob; this is Jack. You have problem reading me with this eomm configuration I got on
CC: No, we're reading you loud and clear. If I was a little late on that, it's because I've got some problems down here on my console, that's all. The whole room yelled at me that you'd ealled.
LMP: No, that's no problem. I just hadn't made a check with you and I wanted to make sure I was readable.
CMP: Okay, Houston. This is America command module pilot on the LMP's eomm carrier. How do you read?
CMP: Okay, good. I understand you want a null bias check again?
CC: Yes, we're just wondering if maybe the - maybe it was an air bubble or something in there - in the - small g-riel d of that midcourse 7 burn might have changed something. Just like to take a look at it.
CMP: Okay. We'11 take a look at her.
CMP: Okay, in 30 seconds, 94.0; starting at plus 100 that time, for some reason.
CMP: One minute, 87.8.
CMP: Okay. It was 79.0 at a minute and 40 seconds.
CMP: Do you want to try the minus 100 part of it? Really think it's worth it?
CC: Well, Ron, we'd like it if you could dat - data gathering point, that's all - -
CMP: Okay. Let's do - -
CC: You know what's due on entry.
CMP: The other guys are crawling around down under the couches. They're trying to get that stuff locked in there anyhow. I think I must have shrank, my shoes went on easier now than they did on the fitting. I must have shrunk, I guess, is the correct terminology. Shrank? Shrink?
CC: Whatever you like.
CMP: Okay, minus 105.8 at 30 seconds.
CMP: Minus 115.7 - I mean 111 - 111.7 at 1 minute.
CMP: And it's minus 119.1 or 2 - about 2 - about 119.2 about a minute and 40.
CC: Okay, Ron. That's very consistent data both ways on ttmt - after the burn. It doesn't tie up with the data prior to the burn too well.
CMP: Uh huh.
CMP: Houston, UV COVER is CLOSED and talk back's gray.
CC: Ron, we're going to break lock here a minute. We've got a site handover.
CDR: Hello, Houston. How do you read CDR?
CC: Read you loud and clear, Ron - Gene.
CDR: Okay, Bob. I'm back up now and I'11 stay with you.
CMP: Okay, and IR can come OFF. And the UV, OFF; IR cover, CLOSED. S-BAND AUX TV, OFF. OFF, yes. And DATA SYSTEM, OFF. Through with the old Flight Plan. Let's check and see if we've got those other two items first. I think we do. Yes, that was one.
CC: Okay, Ron, we'd like to make sure that the LOGIC POWER on 181 is OFF, center.
CC: Okay, stand by 1. Yes. Yes, they're in DEPLOYMENT RETRACT. Let's put them to OFF.
CMP: Okay, DEPLOY MAIN A, MAIN B are both OFF, center.
CC: And it's sad to shut off the SIM bay, it's operated so tremendously in this mission.
CMP: SIM bay has been outstanding.
CMP: Okay, Houston. We're coming up on 2 hours here. How about the logic sequence check?
CMP: Okay, SECS LOGIC, two of them are CLOSED; SECS ARM, two are CLOSED; ELS CSM SEP, HAT A, BAT B are CLOSED. Okay, ELS LOGIC is ON; ELS AUTO is ON. Okay, Houston, you all set for the SECS LOGIC?
CMP: Okay, number 1 is ON. SECS LOGIC number 2 is ON.
CC: America, we're GO for PYRO AI_4.
CMP: Okay, that sounds good. We're go for PYRO ARM. Okay, SECS LOGIC number 2 is coming OFF; SECS LOGIC number 1 is OFF. ARM BAT B is OPEN; ARM BAT A is OPEN; ELS LOGIC is OFF; ELS is to MANUAL. Okay, the old SEP breakers are OPEN.
CC: Roger. God show, Ron.
CMP: Okay, we've got her.
CDR: Hello, Houston; this is America. We are stowed for reentry.
CDR: And, Bob, as a note of interest, the spacecraft is dry. Both the forward hatch, the tunnel, and the tunnel hatch.
CMP: Okay, Houston, this is America. We'11 whip into a P52 here.
CMP: There goes the Earth. Man, it was just a sliver.
CMP: Houston, you'd be happy to know that the Moon, now, has finally gotten back to its normal size for us.
CC: Roger, Ron. We can accept the NOUN 05.
CC: Then you can torque those, Ron.
CMP: Okay, we'11 torque at 45 - 42:15.
CMP: Okay, Houston. We're going to maneuver to the horizon check attitude now.
CDR: Houston, America. I'11 go OMNI Delta now.
CMP: Got the commander's ALA_4.
CDR: Houston, America. The horizon star check is GO.
CC: Roger. Good word. 201/1 Tape
CMP: Okay, EMS FUNCTION is OFF. and two of them are CLOSED -EMS circuit breakers are CLOSED. EMS is in STANDBY. TEST 1. Okay; and wait 5 seconds.
CMP: Okay, it's 10 seconds. Looks good - indicator light. This one. That always comes on on TEST 1, I don't know - .05 G light always comes on TEST 1. Okay? And still got two of them left. Let's try number 2, I guess. Never pass up a gas station, if you really need it. Okay, TEST 2.
CMP: Okay, it's out.
CMP: Okay? There we go -
CMP: MARK it. Okay, 10-second timer works. Always comes out.
CMP: Okay, we got 58, is that in there? Okay; wait a minute. Okay, here we go. There goes zip. TESTs are going down. Stops at 9gs going across, counting down.
CMP: MARK it. Okay, it stopped at 0.0. Stopped right at the old black line there. That's good. Okay, ·05 G light on. Okay, 10 seconds later or so, here we go.
CMP: Yes, it's going out. It stopped at 0.2. It advanced 10 seconds and the light came on. Okay; let's see, we can go to 37K. Hey, Houston, let me doublecheck on this. The .05 G light was on, in EMS TEST 1, when I went to NORMAL. And it seems to me like that's normal but it may not be. Could we check on that for sure. on
CC: Okay, we're checking that.
CMP: Can - press on with the activation here.
CDR: Houston, we're pressing on with the primary water evap activation at this time.
CC: Stand by 1. It's affirmative - to Ron - that he can press on with EMS Jun - TEST.
CMP: Okay; thank you much.
CC: And to Gene, on those water boilers, that's affirmative.
CMP: Okay, nonexit pattern, that's what we want. See the line on 37K. Okay; we go to RANGE SET - Flick! There it goes, up to the top. Okay, we're in RANGE SET, and we'11 stand by now.
CDR: Houston, we're going to activate the secondary.
CC: You are GO on the secondary.
CC: Okay, Ron, as you're going through the test, just a word on that EMS TEST 1. It is not normal for the zero - .05 G light to be on in ENTRY TEST mode 1. It is probably a result of that drifting accelerometer. It's - we'11 have to just wait and see what the rest of the test looks like.
CMP: Okay; the rest of the test was GO.
CC: Okay. Again, it's probably the result of that drifting accelerometer, and possibly under the high-g load of entry, it will be no problem at all. It's all probably in the - drifting in the - in the mud.
CC: And, America, if you can give us ACCEPT, we've got a vector for you.
CMP: Okay; you have ACCEPT. 201/3 Tape
CDR: Okay, Houston; both evaporators are up.
CMP: Well, I just -
CDR: Hello, Houston; on the preheat, we've got 5 Charlie, at 38.
CC: We copy that. And we're running the cal curve.
CDR: And we've got 6 - Okay, and we've got 6 Bravo, at 385.
CC: America, the computer is yours.
CMP: Okay, we're going to BLOCK.
CC: America, Houston. We looked through the cal curve, and we reco_nend no preheat on the RCS.
CMP: Roger, Houston. I understand. No RCS preheat - command module RCS preheat.
CC: America, Houston. Somebody standing by on the VHF? We'd like to get the VHF voice check out of the way, if that's possible.
CC: Stand by. We'11 reconfigure here.
CC: America, Houston. We'd like to verify that the left antenna is selected, and that we are in VHF SIMPLEX Alfa.
CC: America, Houston. America, Houston.
CMP: I'11 get them on S-band. Houston, this is America.
CC: Roger. Did you get my last call? We'd like to verify, in left antenna, and in SIMPLEX Alfa? And we'11 give you VHF check here shortly.
