CC: Okay, 14. We copy. And as I mentioned earlier, we haven't reallygotten all the inputs yet on what we want to do. Whether we'd like to do this to- night or whether we might want to wait until tomorrow, but I'11 get back to you as soon as we - we have and we'11 incorporate your feelings into the decision down here and send them back to you. And did you copy on my flight-plan update? We'd like to get the primary evaporator deactivated whenever it's convenient with you all.
CDR: Okay. It has been deactivated.
CDR: Houston, on the EMS null bias check, we had start at minus 100 and terminate with minus 99.4J
CC: Okay, Al. We copy. You started with minus 100 on a null bias check, and you terminated with minus 99.4.
CDR: That's correct. The 02 purge has been completed and the waste water dump is in progress.
CC: 14, this is Houston. Would you prefer to take time out to have something to eat or press on with the drogue operation now?
CDR: I think we could do both simultaneously.
CDR: ... the drogue, Bruce, is to get it out, look at it, discuss it with you, and give you some time to think about it, and tie it down here with us while you're thinking about it.
CC: Roger. We're tentatively looking at taking the probe out, doing that, tying it down, and we may want to take the drogue out, but we thought you could Just lock the drogue back in place, and then the hatch, to go to sleep for the evening.
CC: Okay. And be right back at you in about a minute with the hot smoking word.
CMP: Hey, Bruce, are we going to get in - start PTC before we start in on the drogue?
CC: That's unresolved right now, Stu.
LMP: Houston, 14. This is a pretty fine snow storm we have going out here.
CC: 14, Houston. We're showing about 15 percent on waste water on telemetry now.
CDR: Roger. We've just shut it off. We're showing 22.
CC: Okay, Ed. Here is what we would like to do on the probe removal - or actually the whole probe- inspection shooting match. We'd like to remove the tunnel hatch, of course, and let you make a quick visual inspection there to see if there is anything that looks significantly amlss. If you see anything, we'd like to photograph it; and, in this whole sequence, we would like to have you power up the television and send a picture down, which we'11 receive at - at Goldstone and record. Although we still have about an hour or an hour and a half before we can be configured to receive the television back here live, and then pressing on from there, if you want to make a couple of notes on a pad, we'd like you to perform the probe removal in accordance with the decal with the following exception.
LMP: Better hold up a minute, Bruce.
LMP: Roger. Can you give me the changes of this probe- removal procedure so that I can copy it on page S2-57
CC: Roger. Actually we'11 be looking at page S2-6 for the changes, that is, the section that applies to both TLD and LOD. 0ver.
CC: Okay. At the top of page 2-6, the first step, "Probe umbilicals" - disconnect and stow. We'd like you to verify proper connection of the um- bilicals before you disconnect and stow them. And I guess you might take a look for bent pins, contacts, and all sort of stuff. Down - l, 2, 3, 4, 5 - at about the sixth line down where it says "Capture latch release handle lock - rotate counter- clockwise to unlock." We'd like you to verify that it is locked prior to unlocking it. You got that one?
CC: Down about five lines further, we have "Capture latch release handle - pull, rotate to unlock, 180 clockwise," and we'd like you to pay particu- lar attention to whether there is unusually high torque required to unlock the capture latch re- lease handle in this step. And we'd also like you to verify the absence of, or report, any damage to the pyro cover or to the capture latch release handle. And the pyro cover that we are talking about is the - it looks like an extruded metallic shell Just forward of the capture latch release handle there. It's the one that bears the decals on it that say, "cock" and "unlock." Over.
LMP: Okay. D_mage to the pyro cover and what else?
CC: Any damage to the capture latch release handle? And then as you pull it out, we'd like to know if you notice any unusual forces required to remove the probe.
LMP: Okay. Let me read it back.
LMP: At top of page S2-6, "Probe umbilicals." Before we disconnect and stow, we want to verify that the "yea verilies" are properly connected.
CC: Yea, verily.
LMP: And there's l, 2, 3, 4, 5 "Capture latch release handle lock"; before rotating counterclockwise to unlock, I want to verify again that that is locked.
LMP: And that you would like for us to pay attention to the torque required to loosen any of these items - oh, that's the capture latch release handle; and you want us to observe for any damage to the pyro cover or the capture latch release handle and to observe any obvious damage that's apparent to the capture latches or the probe end.
CC: Roger, Ed. And we currently have the lines from Goldstone back to the building up here, so I think that we'11 probably be ready to support via TV almost in real time. And for onboard photography, we're recommending use of the electric Hasselblad set on f/2.8, 1/125th of a second at 3-1/2 feet, magazine 0 for Okmulgee, which is stowed in Alfa 13, and you might verify the f-stop with the spotmeter set at ASA 64, if you have the chance. Over.
LMP: Okay, Bruce. I got that, I believe. The electric Hasselblad at 2 8, 125th, 3.5, magazine 0 for Opinaka [?], it's stored A-13, and we'11 check it with the spotmeter. How long will you have Gold- stone coverage, Houston?
CC: 14, this is Houston. We'11 have Goldstone coverage for about another hour and a half. If that's any problem, we can reconfigure to pick up Honeysuckle. And the shutter speed is 1/125th; that's i slash 125. Over.
LMP: Roger, Houston. One twenty fifth.
LMP: Getting edgy already down there.
LMP: Bruce, it'11 probably be 15 minutes or so before we finish getting some chow, and we'11 start up into that tunnel for you.
CC: Roger. We're standing by down here. We've got the color converter going so we can watch you in give glorious living color. And Just us a yell when you're ready to go.
CC: 14, this is Houston. When you get around to the hatch removal in the tunnel, we'd like to get a LM/CM DELTA-P reading prior to your equalizing the pressure. Over.
CMP: Roger, Bruce. We'11 give you that.
CC: StllA_t, how is your peanut butter?
CMP: Hey, Big Jack, not enjoying any peanut butter.
CC: Hey, you're doing a good job.
CDR: 14. Go ahead.
CC: Roger. If you're about wound up on eating, I've got a correction to the inflight erasable load of Tephe m for you, and we'd like to suggest a change to the DAP to open you up to a 5-degree dead band to save a little fuel. Over.
CDR: Okay. We'11 call you back in a minute.
CDR: Okay, Houston. 14's ready to copy Tephe m.
CC: Roger, Apollo 14. This is correction to the in- flight erasable load procedure for T as found ephem on page G9-4 of the G&C Checklist. Under column B, line 04 now reads 33304, and should be changed to read 35242. Line 05, under column B, now reads 07000, and should be changed to read 03262. Over.
CDR: Okay. Page now - 9-5, that is. How about giving it to me again? 9-4, that is. Go ahead.
CC: Roger. That's page 9-4. Under the OID line num- ber 04 in col_,mn B for Buffalo, you'11 find the entry 33304; that should be changed to read 35242. Over.
CDR: Okay. 04 Bravo, 35242.
CC: Right. And the next entry directly below it on OID line 05 now reads 07000, and that should be changed to read 03262. Over.
CDR: Okay. 05 Bravo should read 03262.
CC: Roger. Readback correct. And on your DAP, we're recommending an R 1 load - Okay, I see you've got it already. Sorry about that.
LMP: ... Houston.
CC: Apollo 14, this is Houston. Go ahead.
LMP: Roger, Houston; 14. I got the camera set up and we're starting to work on the tunnel now. When you're configured for television, we'11 let you have it.
CC: Roger. We're configured, and let me see if we're ready to have you send it down. Roger. Let her rip.
CC: Stu, this is Houston. Before you equalize, would LM/CM you give us the DELTA-P?
CMP: Roger. We're working on that.
CMP: Roger, Bruce. And it's 0.5.
CC: Understand 0.57
CMP: And affirmative.
LMP: Okay, Houston. We're starting to bring our pressure up until ... in the tunnel.
LMP: Okay. DELTA-P to zero.
LMP: Houston, we're starting to bring the hatch out now and put it on the foot of the couch.
LMP: You're not getting much light down there, Houston, but that's the hatch going under the left-hand couch.
CC: Roger, Ed. Even with the low level of light, we're getting a pretty good picture here, especially after it's color converted.
LMP: Can you see anything up in the tunnel, Houston?
CC: We really aren't seeing much in the way of the docking mechanism. Here we go. That looks better.
CMP: Okay, Houston, as we start the inspection, we find that the probe umbilicals are properly secured.
CC: HoustOn. Roger. Out.
CMP: Okay, Bruce; I don't know how well you can follow with the TV camera down there, but I didn't see anything obviously wrong with the umbilicals, and the capture latch release handle lock was in the LOCK position.
CC: Roger. Thank you, Stu.
CMP: Okay. The capture latch release handle turned very easily, Bruce.
CC: Roger; out.
CC: You didn't notice any damage to the pyro cover or anything like that, did you?
CMP: No, I - I didn't, Bruce. I - I looked it over here with a flashlight and, gee, I can't - can't see anything out of the ordinary. We'11 - we'11 drag it down and take a look at the outside of it. But, I didn't see anything wrong with - with the pyro cover or any of the connections or anything like that.
CC: And, Stu, while you're at it, would you say that the force that it took to remove the probe up there from the tunnel area was high, low, or indifferent - or nominal?
CMP: Well, you know it's the first time I've done it without gravity helping a little bit _- and pushing back, but I - I wouldn't say it was exceptionally hard. I sort of braced myself on the bottom of the tunnel and gave a pull and she came loose.
CC: Okay. We'd like you to examine the probe head as you're now doing with particular emphasis on any evidence of unusual shearpin shearing in the bushing hole there at the end, or foreign material in the capture latch release button area or foreign material or damage anywhere in the areas of the capture latch hooks.
CMP: Okay. We'11 give it a go.
LMP: All right, Bruce. The first ... we looked we don't see anything obvious about it.
LMP: If you could give us some instructions as to where you'd like to look, we'11 leave the camera right in on it for you.
CMP: And, Bruce, up here in the very tip of the probe - you know where the - the tower hooks on it, it looks clean. I don't see anything fishy about that right off the bat.
CC: All right. Is that the bushing on the end you're describing to me, Stu?
CC: Okay, 14, we'd like to get some closeup photos of tile probe head around the capture latch release button of each capture latch hook; and if you find any scratching or damage up there - of that area in particular, also.
CDR: Houston, looking at the drogue, we see that there are three scratches - l, 2, 3, 4, 5 - that are rough to the touch ... broken the surface of the drogue.
CC: Al, this is Houston. You're coming through very weakly. Can you, maybe, put the mikes closer to your mouth? I think that might be the problem.
CDR: Okay, I was looking up and away from the mike when I was talking but, I was in the - up in the tunnel. I'm looking at the drogue and there are these radial scratches which we described before that have - that feel rough to the touch. They've probably scratched the surface of the drogue - perhaps a fourth of an inch.
CC: Al, this is Houston. You mentioned the dimension associated with these scratches - You mentioned a quarter of an inch. Was that width or depth of penetration, or length or what? Over.
CDR: Yes, I was trying to describe the depth of penetra- tion, and it's very difficult because we don't have any kind of gage on it, but it has scratched the surface to a depth of perhaps - I don't know - 3 or 4 thousandths maybe. Very definitely scratched. It's Just rough to the touch.
MCC: Now, I'm confused, CAP COMM. Is that - the scratch is of 3 or 4 thousandths?
CC: Okay. Understand you're saying they're about 3 or 4 thousandths of an inch deep and on the order of a couple of inches long?
CDR: That's right. They're very light. They all - as I said before - radial scratches leading away from the apex of the drogue and some are about 2 inches long, one's about i inch long, one's about three-quarters, and one's about one-half inch long. These are apparently the marks made by the capture latches as they made the dock%ng attempt and then backed in - cut into the service of the drogue.
CC: Okay, when you get through taking some photos up there, we'd like you to take the capture latch release handle, pull, rotate it counterclockwise to the cock position and then manually depress all three capture latch triggers at the base of the capture latch hooks, simultaneously, and verify that the capture latch release button should move forward to the lock position flush with the probe hatch - bushing.
CMP: Okay. Why don't we do that and then when we get all through, we'11 go through and get the pictures you want.
CMP: And we're going to bring the drogue out, too, so you can take a look at it on the TV.
CC: Roger, Stu; and after you do get it out, we'd like you to hold the TV steady on the area of the drogue where the scratches are for a couple of minutes and do likewise again on the capture latch area of the probe.
CMP: All right, Houston; I'm moving the television camera on the drogue now. Al's going to put a light on it. It is pretty dark.
CC: 14, this is Houston. We're getting a picture, but the illumination level isn't very good and I guess I - I for one can't see any scratches right here.
CMP: Roger; it is pretty hard to see it in Houston. It's the light level. We're going to try another little trick here. Let's see if we can get you some light.
CMP: All right, Houston. We're going to move in on the - You're looking at the center of the drogue now and the scratches - you can see Stuart's th_b there. He's going to point to them and we'11 see if we can get enough light for you to see them.
CC: Roger, we - we got that last one, Stu, and we got that one you're pointing at now.
LMP: All right, Bruce. I think that this illumination will give - illumination will give it to you if you will let me hold it for a minute here.
CC: Roger. We can see about five or six of these radial scratches in the present scene - right - right where you're looking there, about three of them. One - -
CMP: Yes, that's - that's affirmative, Bruce.
CC: Okay, now, I guess that at the 4 o'clock position you got about three scratches and then at 8 o'clock, you've got one. Do you have anything up at noon?
LMP: That's affirmative, Bruce. There's one long one at 12 o'clock noon.
LMP: From the looks and from the feel, I believe it appears that the probe hit the drogue almost dead center every time we tried to make contact. But, it Just rebounded right off of it.
LMP: Okay, we're going to put the drogue back in place if you're through with it now.
CC: Negative, we'd like you to hold it out for a minute or so. We ultimately want to wind up fit checking the drogue and probe here.
CC: Okay, back on the probe, we'd like you to take the capture latch release handle, pull, rotate counterclockwise to the COCK position or a 150-degree rotation.
CMP: Okay, I've done that.
CC: Okay, now manually depress all three capture latch triggers at the base of the capture latch hook simultaneously and verify that the capture latch release button in the end of the probe moves forward to the LOCK position; that is flush with the probe pushing.
LMP: Okay, you want us to push all three of them simultaneously, is that right?
LMP: All right. Say it again, and verify what?
CC: Okay, the little button right at the tip of the probe which is the capture latch release button from the LM active side - where you got your finger - should pop out flush when you trigger all three of these latches simultaneously.
LMP: Got it. Is it flush? Okay I'm going to pull back in and it came out - it appears to be almost flush. ... count it as flush, the way it is now.
LMP: We're going to repeat it, Houston.
CC: 14, Houston. We're requesting MEDIUM BEAMWIDTH on the HIGH GAIN antenna and we're going to have to handover from Goldstone here shortly.
CMP: ... we repeated that, and it - it comes out - flush.
CC: In looking at that button , do you notice anything unusual about it - any burrs, any bending, or any way it could be hanging up on something?
CC: Say again, Ed. We had some static.
LMP: Stand by. We are looking at it now.
CMP: Al's taking a look at it. The top of the button looks smooth. Of course, you can't see down below it. But it seems to keep from knocking - releases fairly easily. It doesn't appear to be sticking at all.
CC: Okay. I guess that's what we really wanted to know about it.
CC: 14, Houston. If you could - on the TV pictures - refrain from using the flashlight in close here, I think we've got enough light to - to see it with the ambient light.
LMP: Maybe you do. We don't seem to.
CC: Okay. We got 30 seconds to handover; so we're going to Just go into a standby mode here for a minute or so until Honeysuckle picks up.
CC: And, Ed, now that you've got the capture latches in the LOCKED position out there on the end of the probe, we'd like you to push as hard as you conveniently can in zero g on each of the capture latches and verify that they do not depress.
CDR: All right. We've done that. We'11 do it again, and they don't.
CDR: Houston, they're not going to go in that way.
CC: Okay. They shouldn't.
CC: Okay, 14. Now we'd like you, using tool B or some other suitable tool, to depress the capture latgh release button in the end of the probe there to cock the capture latches.
LMP: Houston, we can cock the capture - capture latches by pressing in the button on the end of it.
CC: Roger. And now that you've got the drogue out, we'd like you to position the drogue and push it over the capture latches until the capture latch release button extends; and, I guess we'd like you to do it several times and try applying different combinations of offset, side load, and torque on the thing, and check it up for any indications of dragging, binding, or anything it might be giving the problem that you experienced a few hours ago.
LMP: Okay. Say again now how you would like - like us to cock the capture launches in the way we Just did by depressing the button on the end of the probe. And then fitting it over - into the drogue several times and repeat this operation. Is that correct?
CC: That is correct. If you put the probe in a fixed place and then put the drogue over it, you could sight in through the hole on the end of the drogue and keep a good eye on things.
LMP: Roger; understand.
CC: 14; and, one of these times when you have the drogue on over the end of the probe, you might try Just holding the drogue in position and wiggling the capture latch release button in and out several times. In this condition, it won't do anything but it will allow you to assess possibilities of binding or sticking of that particular part of the mechanism.
LMP: Houston, I'm going to get rid of the TV camera for a minute. It's not doing us any good and it's taking all three of us to handle it.
LMP: And it appears we may have to get on the LM side to do this. There's not quite enough room here to work.
CC: Ed, this is Houston. Have you had any - luck, I guess you could call it - in getting the probe and drogue to bind by applying lateral forces to the drogue?
LMP: Not yet. Stand by; we're getting ready to try again now.
LMP: Hey, Bruce, there Just wasn't any place that worked handily with that. We're going to put the drogue back in - Al's on the other side - and then we can put it up in there right.
CC: Okay. By the other side, do you mean over in the LM?
CMP: Okay, Bruce. We cycled it - oh, about four or five times, and it goes in Just so easily. The capture latches dock and hold it, and we've tried it by putting the capture latch release handle at 150 and putting it up and they move in. We've tried it by leaving it - you know, the yellow - and cocking them by pushing in on the end of the probe on the probe release plunger. And it works both ways, Just real fine.
CC: So, what you're trying to tell me is you still haven't come up with anything that would be the problem.
CMP: That's basically it.
CC: Would you pass over to A1 that, while you've got the probe and drogue in the tunnel there and mated - He's on the other side - and keeping them engaged, would he push the capture latch release button in and out several times and see if he can make it stick up against the bushing by pushing sideways, or anything of that sort, on it while it's being pushed in and out.
CC: 14, this is Houston. While you're up there in the tunnel, we'd like to get a roll angle read-out on - from the index mark as you come back through; and, with respect to further procedures, I guess we got a - a write-in comment coming down here which is a step that says further instructions will follow tomorrow.
LMP: Didn't quite understand all that, Bruce. But try it, try us again.
CC: Okay, we're asking for a docking tunnel roll index reading at your convenience, and - -
LMP: Okay, we got that.
CC: You've exhausted our imaginations for right now on troubleshooting the probe. We'11 work on it some more overnight and be back with you in the morning.
LMP: Roger, Houston. Understand.
CC: And would you confirm that A1 was unsuccessful in getting the capture latch release button to bind up against that bushing in the end of the probe?
CC: That's a negative, Bruce. We cycled it several times; and he pushed on it and tried to J_,.r.yit; and we - The thing slides in Just so easily and locks up; and, when he pushes on the - on the plunger, why she releases very easily; and we can't seem to find any bind or get it to malfunction for us at all.
CC: Okay. While you're holding the - holding the probe in place there, we were wanting him to just take and cycle the capture latch release button in and out several time trying to - doing his best to bind it up against anything he can find there in the way of the internal surface of the bushing. I guess you're telling me that he was unable to.
CMP: Okay. Well, we hadn't really run that specific test. We '11 try that.
LMP: Houston, we're bringing Al back through. We can- not force it to malfunction at all. So, you'11 have to think about it overnight.
CC: Roger, 14. We'11 do that. We recommend that after you get A1 back on the command module side, you reinstall the drogue in the command module hatch and keep the probe over in the cow_and module, We believe we've seen enough TV data for the time being, so you can shut down the television at your convenience. And we would like to get photographic documentation of the capture latch release button, of each capture latch hook, and of any areas of scratches or visual damage on the probe, Ed.
CMP: And, Houston, the docking rule index is plus 0.9.
CC: Understand. Plus 0.9 on docking roll.
CC: And, Stu; this is Houston. You're cleared to start getting set up for PTC at your convenience. We'11 be watching the rates; and, on this first PTC initiation, we'11 probably want to go very close to the full 20 minutes of rate damping, although we expect that on subsequent ones during the mission, we'11 have a better feel for it and Just be able to cue you as to when to initiate the roll based on the rates that we're observing. Over.
CMP: Okay, understand. And we don't mind waiting 20 minutes.
CC: Apollo 14, this is Houston. When you do close the hatch in the LM, we'd like you to give us a mark so we may confirm the FLOODLIGHTS, OFF, over.
CDR: Roger; stand by.
CC: Roger. We weren't intending to rush you on it. Just when it happens, give us a yell.
CC: I've got a comm configuration for you set up in here for PTC.
LMP: Okay, Fredo. Standby.
LMP: Okay, Fredo. Go ahead.
CC: Okay. You can set the HIGH GAIN PITCH and YAW indicators to PITCH, minus 52, and YAW, 270 de- grees, and then select OMNI Bravo.
LMP: Roger. 52, 270, up to Bravo.
CC: Okay. And then TRACK to MANUAL, and WIDE BEAM- WIDTH.
LMP: (Cough) Houston, Apollo 14.
CC: Roger, Fredo. We were busy with the probe at 11 hours, and we're inquiring about turning off the waste storage vent valve and shifting our heater configuration on the 02 tanks.
CC: Okay, Ed. WASTE STORAGE VENT can go to CLOSE and the heater configuration, i and 2, to OFF; 3 to AUTO.
LMP: So be it.
CC: And, Apollo 14; Houston.
CC: Did you all by chance vent the batteries back at 11 hours, then?
LMP: Negative, Fred. I am getting ready to do that now.
CC: Okay, Ed. I was going to suggest you do that before we get the PTC, so we get all that closed up.
CMP: Okay, Fred. Al's closed the LM hatch and he verified the floodlights went out - Went out be- fore the hatch closed.
CC: Okay. They say saw it here on the power - -
CMP: That may have been - Say again.
CC: They saw it here, too, on the power, I guess.
CMP: Okay. And I'd like to clarify one thing. Seemed like Bruce implied that we would keep the probe in - in here with us, and we'd Just like to store it in the - in the drogue for the night. It's so easy just to open the hatch and get it back out again if we want to dissect it tomorrow or something.
CC: Yes, that sounds all right, Stu.
CC: And, 14; Houston,
CC: Okay, I'd like to verify that you have the WASTE STOWAGE VENT to CLOSE now.
CMP: Okay. That's verified, Fred. We're still vent- ing the battery.
LMP: Fredo, the battery vent seems to have stopped at a reading of about 2 and a half volts. It dropped very quickly to that and it's been staying there. Can you tell if the vent is complete?
LMP: Sorry about that; 0.25.
CC: Okay. Did you correct that, Ed, and say 0.25?
LMP: That's right; 2 and a half units, Fredo; 0.25 volts.
CC: Okay, 14. That reading will be okay.
CC: 14, Houston. Did you copy? The 0.25 reading is good enough , Ed.
LMP: Thank you, Fredo. And battery vent is termi- nat ed.
CC: Okay. If you can give us ACCEPT there, we'11 pump you up a state vector and I have P37 block data for you.
LMP: There's P00 and ACCEPT.
LMP: Okay, Fredo. Go ahead with the P37.
CC: Okay, Ed. P37 block data: 025:00; 4971; minus 165; 069:12; 035:00; 7548; minus 165; 068:35.
LMP: Hold it, Fredo.
LMP: I thought you were reading me a P37 block data.
CC: That's what it says.
LMP: All right. Let's start over again. GETI.
CC: 0ka_. GETI, 025:00; 4971; minus 165; 069:12. That's GET at 400K.
LMP: Roger. 025:00.
LMP: How many are you going to read me up?
CC: Four of them, Ed.
LMP: Okay. Didn't understand. Press on.
CC: Okay. The next one: 035:00; 7548; minus 165; 068:35; and the third one is 045:00; 5725; minus 165; 092:58; and the last one, 060:00; 5242; minus 165; 117:02.
LMP: Okay. 025:00; 4971; minus 165; 069:12; 035:00; 7548; minus 165; 068:35; 045:00; 5725; minus 165; 092:58; 060:0 [sic]; 5242; minus 165; 117:02.
CC: Okay. And remarks. The second through the fourth set are, Ed, the 35-hour, 45-hour, and the 60-hour block data assumes a midcourse 2.
LMP: Understand. 35, 45, and 60 hours assume mid- course 2.
CC: That's affirm, Ed. And we're still watching your rates here. We'11 give you the word when we're ready for the PTC.
CC: And, Apollo 14; Houston. You can go back to BLOCK on the computer.
CMP: Okay. And, Fred, we got the hatch back in, and when I put the probe up for stowage, I looked again at that pyro cover that Bruce had asked me about before, and I can't see anything wrong with the probe anywhere.
CC: It looks like you quit moving around in there, Ed. The rates are down. I guess y'all can crank up PTC.
UNKNOWN: right with you, Fred.
CC: No hurry.
CC: Just a reminder. You might make sure you've - brushed your teeth and all that kind of stuff before tucking her in there, before you crank up that PTC.
CMP: Okay, Fred. I'm going to spin it up. I'm going to use B/D roll if that's agreeable with you.
CC: Okay. That will be fine.
CMP: Hey, Fred, I guess we've already said everything we can to try to help you all out on that probe. We're sitting here trying to run back over. I want to make sure that we're not overlooking some- thing that might give you a clue. And, when we did our docking, as - as I was thrusting plus-X and then A1 hit the retract, he said the talk- backs came back barber pole for - a time period; you know, like a couple of seconds before - and then went gray again when we got the - the dock. Now I'm Just tossing that in. I think we called that, but I Just wanted to make sure we've covered everything.
CC: Okay. We - we had already gotten that, Stu, from your previous comments.
CMP: Okay. I just thought maybe there in the rush of thlngs, you know, we might not have got it, and I can't think of anything else to - to add, I guess.
CC: Okay, Stu. I guess we got nothing else on the drogue/probe business. Just wanted you to verify that you get the LiOH canister changed, and your PTC startup looks good.
CMP: Okay, we got the LiOH changed at about 13:07.
CC: Okay. You can terminate battery charge now.
LMP: Okeydoke.
CC: Okay, for some reason, we're showing your PTC has gone out of the - gone out of the box, there; so in a bit, here, we're going to need to reinitialize, but would like to continue with the roll here until we get in good shape on the OMNIs again.
CDR: Roger .... wait until we finish this P52.
CC: Okay, whenever you get a chance, after the 52 there, I guess you can stop the PTC and reinitialize; we're in good OMNI; read you now.
CC: And, 14; Houston. We're not really sure what caused the PTC to diverge. It looked like a pretty good start unless you either vented something or maybe something continued to vent fr_n a while back.
CDR: That's the more likely - we had a continuing vent.
CC: Go ahead. And we got your NOUN 93.
CDR: Oh, gosh. Did you give them the torquing time of 14:12:507
CC: 14, we're having a little trouble with data dropout in your present position. We'd like OMNI Charlie.
UNKNOWN: Say again, Fred, will you? You busted up on that one.
CC: Okay, Stu. We're having data dropouts. We'd like OMNI Char lie.
CMP: Okay, Fred. Try us again real slow. You're - you're Just coming in syllables.
CC: Okay. We would like OMNI Charlie, OMNI Charlie.
UNKNOWN: Okay, there's OMNI (cough) OMNI Charlie. How's that?
CC: Okay. How do you read me now?
CMP: Okay. You're loud and clear.
CC: Roger. We were having some data dropouts on HIGH BIT RATE there, Stu, and we - before we get ready to crank up PTC, we'11 have you go back to Bravo then.
CC: We're showing 02 flow pegged high down here. Just wondered if you're getting that on board, too.
CDR: Yes, we are, Fredo.
CDR: We thought we'd stopped all - stopped all of the venting, but we apparently are still venting some- where we're not aware of.
CDR: Go ahead, Fredo.
CC: Just a question. Did I understand you to say that you had checked, and you got all of your vents closed up now?
CDR: That's affirmative, Fredo. We're looking right now to see if we can find where this is going. Stand by to mark.
CC: 14, Houston. Did you change anything now? We're seeing the 02 flow dropping off a bit.
UNKNOWN: Did you see any marked change? We Just ... - -
CC: Well, it was up over 0.9 there, Ed, and it's down around 0.7. Gone back up now, though; 0.8 some- thing now.
CC: Okay. Our - original thoughts were that it might be a 'ducer. If you haven't already done so, you might run through ECS MAL la and see how you come out of that one.
UNKNOWN: Well, Fredo, we can see the venting right now. We think we've got an actual problem.
CC: Okay. What side of the spacecraft, 147
CC: Now it's coming out the port side.
CC: Okay, the port side.
CC: Okay. We saw it drop off. I guess you cycled the REGs, Ed. So that would indicate the 'ducer's okay. You might check again the valve on top of the urine receptacle and make sure that guy is closed off.
CC: Yes, we're rechecking those now ....
CMP: Yes, Fred, I did that. And, in fact, I even closed the - the waste management dump Just to see if Myrtle was leaking, but it didn't do any good.
CC: Okay. You seeing any more venting overboard at this time?
CMP: That's affirmative, Fred. I was Just sitting here watching it - Just - it - it comes in spurts. Just about 30 seconds ago, we got a nice splash, and there's some right now. It looks like it's coming, you know, from over in the area of the - of the normal dumps.
CC: Gee, that oxygen flow looked like it had settled down there around 0.4, and then all at once it started - it jumped up again there Just a half a minute ago or so. And, it looks like it's back down again. Did you all move anything else in that area?
CMP: Yes, Fred. We went back, cleaning up after that malfunction, and we had the WATER GLYCOL valves OFF and the emergency REGS, and SUIT DEMAND; we didn't see any effect when we went through it. And then we Just went and opened them up again, hear?
LMP: It's settled down on our meter at 0.6 pounds an hour now, Fredo.
LMP: Go ahead, Fredo.
CC: Say, I guess we're happy with that 02 flow you got now. It looks pretty stable, and the vehicle rates look okay to crank up a PTC again. We think we've got a handle on what happened except in - what really caused the first 02 FLOW HIGH. Must be some- thing you readjusted.
CC: I don't know that we can have a good answer for you. Stu and I were Just talking about we think quite possibly the - urine dump is leaking. We got it cycled now and shut clear off. Let's see if that helps any.
CC: And, 14; Houston. We'd like OMNI Bravo.
CDR: Houston, this is Al. We're going to presleep checklist now. We thought we'd drop off a little bit early tonight.
CC: Houston, we're bringing direct 02 valve on to pump the cabin up to 5.7 now.
CC: And, 14; Houston.
CC: We're configured down here to take the E-memory dump any time. Stand by 1. I'm going to check the - how the OMNIs are.
CMP: Okay, Fred. We ought to have you now. How do you read?
CMP: Houston, 14. How do you read?
CC: Okay. Loud and clear, Stu. Stand by 1.
CC: Okay. We're ready now, Stu, for the E-memory. They're all set.
CMP: Okay, Fred, here comes the VERB 74 .... 4. Now.
CC: Okay. Go ahead, Ed.
LMP: Okay. BAT C is 37. PYRO BAT A, 37 45; PYRO BAT B, 37 45; RCS A, 88; B, 90; C, 87; D, 91.
CMP: Houston, do you read 147
CC: Go ahead, 14; Houston here.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. How do you read?
CC: 14, Houston. Read you loud and clear.
CMP: Hello, Houston. How do you read 147
CC: 14, Houston. How do you read me?
CMP: Oh, you're loud and clear. There was a lot of static and no reception on - I guess that other antenna.
CC: Okay. We had to drop Madrid and try to reacquire there to get you back. Could you verify that you are on OMNI Bravo there, Stu?
CMP: That's affirmative; OMNI Bravo.
CMP: And if you don't have anything else for us, we're about to secure here.
CC: Stand by l, Stu.
CC: Just one more thing, I'd like to confirm the H2 fans, OFF.
CMP: Okay. Well, they were on; they're off now, Fred.
CC: Roger, Stu. Guess you can take the rest of the day off.
CMP: Houston, did you call 147
CC: Yes. Right, Stu. One last thing. Looks like maybe an 02 tank number I heater is on. Tank 2 switches should be number i and 2, OFF; number 3 on AUTO.
CMP: Okay. 3 is AUTO, and i and 2 02 tanks are OFF.
CC: Okay. We'11 leave you alone, then.
CC: Roger, Apollo 14. Good evening.
CC: Good morning, how are you? Or is it afternoon?
CC: I'm fine. How are you up there?
CC: We're Just great, thank you.
LMP: We're up and brushed our teeth and shaved, and we're Just looking forward to a fine day.
CC: Roger, Ed. We saw somebody get up and walk in his sleep and work the DSKY there about an hour ago.
UNKNOWN: Yes. That's right.
CMP: Just need to get a little practice, Gordon.
LMP: He Just had a restless finger.
CC: Okay. We've got a site handover coming up in about a minute and a half.
LMP: Roger. We'11 wait for that, and then I'11 go ahead and give you the complete propulsion checks and postsleep checklists.
LMP: I have some dosimeter readings for you.
CC: Okay. We've handed over, and - I'm ready to copy here - postsleep.
LMP: Okay. Alan dosimeter, 16037; Stu is 01034; mine is 05038.
CC: Roger. We got Al 16037, Stu at 01034, and you with 05038.
LMP: Okay, Houston. I read you now.
CC: Roger. I think we rotated between a couple antennas there. Got you loud and clear now.
LMP: For my sleep, I slept for about 4 hours straight and then another 2 or B intermittently, and I feel very good.
CDR: Now, about the same for me and feel like ...
CC: Al, this is Houston. You're very very weak. Would you repeat?
CDR: Okay. I had a sleep cycle about the same for me. I slept soundly for 4 or 5 hours, and then inter- mittently for another 2 - and we feel excellent up here.
CC: Roger, Al. For some reason, you're not nearly as readable as Ed is, and it sounds like - well, I guess I can't really say what the problem is there on - on your mike. You're getting a lot of - interference when you start and stop a transmission - I got no suggestion on what to do to improve it.
CDR: Okay. How do you read this?
CC: That's a lot better, Al.
CDR: Okay. The mike was a long way away from my mouth .... Did you get the sleep report?
CC: I think we got it. Four to 5 hours good sleep and a little bit intermittent after that. Is that about it?
CDR: That's correct. The general condition is excellent.
CC: Al, you're still - breaking up. I really can't give you a good description of what - is wrong, but - you're Just not very readable.
LMP: Okay. Stand by on that one, Houston. We'11 work on it.
LMP: And, Houston. I'11 go ahead and - start charging BAT A with your concurrence, and we have changed the LiOH canister.
CC: Roger. That's - affirmative. You can go ahead LM/CM with that, and - also give us the - DELTA-P as shown at the 27 hours there, when it's convenient.
CMP: And, Gordon, this is Stu. How do you read?
CC: You're loud and clear, Stu.
CMP: Okay. I guess on my sleep I'11 split it with you about half. I'11 say D got 5 hours.
CMP: My mattress was hard.
CC: Roger. When you're ready to copy, I have some words on - some changes we've figured out for the flight plan.
LMP: Okay, Houston. Go ahead with your changes in the flight plan.
CC: Okay. Before we start, one reminder is that - when you went to sleep, we didn't get any presleep checklist. If there was anything - out of the ordinary there, we'11 - presleep report that was - and - we'11 take any - Stand by, I'm getting some words from the surgeon here. Okay. Just disre- gard it. It's sort of - We'11 need the - both the pre- and postsleep reports from here on out. Okay, on the flight plan, if you're ready.
CC: Roger. We're going to delay the launch vehicle systems debriefing until 28 hours. And - the P2B, which is scheduled at 28:30, we're going to cancel, which will save us some RCS. On - along that line, the results of the last P2B that Stu did, the horizon that he shot at was 28 plus or minus 5 kilometers, and - that's right on the preflight values so an update will not be required. And your average error for pointing error was 3 arc- minutes, which rank is right in there with the best ever recorded, and - the expert gives you a pat on the back, Stu, and said it was an outstand- ing Job.
CMP: Ah, Jove! Thank you, Gordon.
CC: Okay. On with the flight plan. The DELTA-V test and null bias check and the P52, we're going to delay that until 29:10 GET.
CDR: Okay. So far, I have that we do the launch vehicle debrief at 28 hours to [sic] 27 hours. We're de- laying the null bias and the P52 at 28:10 until 29:10; We're cancelling the P2B at 28:30.
CC: That's affirmative, Al. And - and then further after that, we're going to delay the exit of PTC until 29 and 55. And when we do exit PTC, go right into the midcourse 2 pad attitude.
CDR: Okay. PTC to 29:55 and then set up for mid- course 2.
CC: Roger. And on all other activities will be nomi- nal, except - on waste water dump - you want - We want you to dump to zero percent quantity.
CDR: Okay. Dump the waste water to zero.
CC: Okay. We have one additional question for the launch vehicle systems performance debriefing. We can either give it to you now so you can think about it, or wait until you get around to it to give it to you. Your choice.
CDR: We will take it now.
CC: Okay. The question is, you announced during the docking attempts that you thought the booster was maneuvering a little bit. We'd like you to expand on the direction of the maneuver: the type of ma- neuver, lateral or oscillating, or any other words to that effect; the approximate time the maneuver was first observed, whether it was before the first docking attempt, between the first or second, or if you can relate it to any other activity; any observed vents from the launch vehicle during the maneuver; and anything else unusual or unexpected that you noticed. Over.
CDR: Okay, question number 10. Describe the type, direction, and the time relation of the booster maneuvers during docking, and any events that we noticed during maneuvers.
CC: Roger; and I was Just thinking as I read it that, on that time, we can probably go back on the tape and find out when you mentioned it as far as tying down the time accurately, and that might be easier for us to get than you.
CDR: Okay, that would probably help us; thank you.
CMP: Hey, that - that's no sweat, Gordon. I - I remember the - the comment when I made it, and what the circumstances Mere.
CC: Okay, Stu. I think that takes care of all the words they got for you right at the moment.
CC: Go ahead, Ed. LM/CM
LMP: Our DELTA-P is 0.3, and I'm standing by for a comand module consumables update.
CC: Roger, Ed. Copy 0.3. We don't have the figures on that update, yet. One thing I didn't mention is that - we are planning to do a midcourse 2, as is shown in the flight plan and that - we'11 do it such that it will require a clock update as scheduled at about 54 hours and 30 minutes in the time line.
CC: It'11 be a roughly hO-minute - -
CMP: Looks like we -
CC: - - roughly a 40-minute - -
CC: Say again, Gordon. How much?
CC: It'11 be roughly 10 minutes, and I still haven't got used to which direction it is. Actually, it's like - going into daylight saving time. It'11 - move your clock ahead.
CMP: Tephe m. Okay, Gordon. Looks like we get to - send that update - after all.
CC: Ed, I've got that cons,_m_bles update now, if you're ready to copy.
LMP: All right; go ahead.
CC: Roger. GET, 26:00; RCS total, 86; quad A, 85; quad Bravo, 86; quad Charlie, 86; quad Delta, 87; H2 tank 1, 87.98 percent; H2 tank 2, 85.7 percent; 02 tank 1, 93.4 percent; tank 2, 92.6 percent; tank 3, 54.6 percent. Over.
LMP: Okay, I read back GET at 26 hours; RCS total, 86 percent; quad A, 85; B, 86; C, 86; D, 87; hydro- gen tank l, 87.98; 2, 85.7; oxygen tank l, 93.4; 2, 92.6; 3, 54.6.
CC: Roger, Ed. Your readback is correct. And we have had considerable discussion today about the docking probe. There are still four questions as a result of all these discussions that we would like to put to you - the crew. It'11 probably take some dis- cussion to answer them. There's no hurry. Don't let us interrupt breakfast there. When you're ready, we'd like you to take these questions and comment on them.
LMP: Okay, Gordon. We'11 probably be through here in another 45 minutes, and we'11 jump right into that one then.
LMP: Say, Gordon, do you have any choice news items for us today?
CC: Guys, I think you all been making all the news. I haven't heard anything very significant and don't have any good Sl,mmaries for you right now.
CC: I do have one story here, I'11 read from the front page of The Houston Post, this morning's edition. The headline is, "Mrs. Shepard ate an omelet during docking problem." And the first paragraph, it's dateline Cape Kennedy, Florida; "Mrs. Louise Shepard sat in her motel room eating an omelet while her husband and the two other Apollo 14 astronauts worked with a faulty docking latch that for a time threatened their moonflight."
LMP: She was sure calmer than we were.
CC: Apollo 14; this is Houston, your friendly Maroon Team on station. Go ahead.
LMP: Well, Hello, Bruce. How you doing today?
CC: Okay, Ed. How about yourselves?
LMP: Great, thank you. Bruce, these questions that are being proposed on the probe operation, should I copy them, or shall we Just let you go ahead and talk about them and then we'11 get back to you?
CC: Well, I think probably the easiest thing to do would be to start going through them one at a time, and, if you feel like you need more time to discuss it or to recall - the exact things you went through, why we can Just take the time as we go along. There's no big rush on it. It'd probably be easier than your trying to prepare a formal report or something and voice it down.
CC: And we're Just finishing up the - -
CDR: We'11 be - -
CC: We're just finishing up - -
CDR: It'd be a little while before we're ready to go that way.
CC: Okay. We're Just finishing up the change-of-shift briefing down here and it'11 probably be 5 or 10 minutes at least before we're ready to roll on it, too.
CMP: Hey, Bruce, did you get a good night's sleep? You put in a hard day yesterday.
CC: Yes. I got up about 1:30 or 2 o'clock this after- noon. Felt real good.
CDR: We're happy to discover there really is a ... after all. We're constantly reminded of it.
CC: That there really is a what, after all?
CC: Yes, how about that; that's a beautiful one.
CMP: Hey, Bruce, would you pass on to Ray that it was not 100 percent at the bench check.
CC: That's to Ray, that it was hot 100 percent at the bench check. You mean the equipment - -
CC: - - equipment loaded on board was not completely represented at the bench check?
CC: We've got the backup crew - -
CMP: I don't know why, but we - -
CC: We've got the backup crew commander standing here monitoring the system.
CMP: We seem to be finding a few things around that we didn't see at our bench check and a few crew- preference decals.
CC: Yes. How was breakfast, by the way?
CDR: It was great. We ate every scrap.
CMP: Hey, it sure was.
CC: Yes. And I found my headset all right this morning, too, but there was a little difference from last night.
CMP: Okay. You keep us posted on that headset.
CC: Apollo 14, this is Houston. Go ahead. Over.
CDR: We're standing by for the booster launch phase discussion and the probe discussion any time you're ready to go.
CMP: Say, Bruce, how far away is S-IVB from us?
CC: Stand by; I'11 see if I can get you a figure on that.
CMP: Yes, and on the same subject, have you got any - say, give us a roll angle during PTC and some place to point the optics. I wonder if we could see it.
CC: Okay. I'11 see if we can get that.
CC: Apollo 14, this is Houston.
CC: Roger. We'd like to pick up the discussion on the docking probe situation now, if you're ready.
CMP: Okay, stand by just i here ....
CMP: Okay, Bruce. I guess we're all hooked up and ready to go.
CC: 14, this is Houston; go ahead.
CMP: Roger. I think we're all hooked up and ready to go.
CC: Roger. I guess number i question would be, is - was there ever more than one bottle selected on the docking probe, and if so, which ones.
CDR: That's negative .... primary one, and that's the one we used.
CC: Roger; very good. Howmany times was the EXTEND/ RELEASE position of the docking probe extension retraction switch operated, and for when and about how long was it held in these positions? Over.
CDR: Well, it was operated per flight plan for the initial extension, and the dock latch worked nor- mally. We felt a jar, a good solid thump, but it went on out and then it was not operated again until after the problem started. At the ground suggestion, we went to EXTEND/RELEASE and then back to RETRACT - I think twice - no more than twic e.
CC: Okay, so - grand total, I guess we could say that you've had three cycles to the EXTEND/RELEASE position; the one nominal one, and the two after the problem started developing? Is that correct?
CDR: Let's call it no more than four, Bruce. We did one of them on our own, so one normal and no more than three additional.
CMP: And, Bruce, no response at all except for the first one, which went normally.
CC: Okay, on the first one there, you were actually causing the probe to extend, were you not?
CMP: That's affirmative. We extended it, and, as A1 said, we heard her clunk in and the talkbacks did their thing, flashed barber pole and then went to gray, as advertised.
CC: Okay, then on the subsequent ones about all we'd be operating is the capture latch cocking motor.
CC: They probably wouldn't feel that in the form of a mechanical shock or anything like that. And - -
