CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Mike, there's no wait required. Where rates are steady, you can proceed on. Over.
CMP: I'm doing it, Charlie.
CMP: The tunnel's all taken care of, the drogue, probe, and hatch all back.
CC: Roger. Copy. Out.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We have some new additions to your alternate contingency checklist if you would break that out. Over.
CDR: Okay, Houston. 11's ready to copy.
CC: Roger, 11. If you'11 turn to page F2-22. 0v_=r
CDR: Okay. I have F2-22.
CC: Roger, Neil. Under column ].- that's co]urmi Lima. line 06. The new data is 0(1001. 1line 07, the _',_ data is 02134. Over.
CDR: Okay. I have in F2-22, column Lima, item 6, 00001; item 7, 02134.
CC: Roger. That's correct. Thank you much. ()ut.
CC: 11, Houston. For your information, those two entries are an update to your DELTA-H that we have already uplinked into the CMC. Over.
CMP: What was I marking on, Charlie? Aoout an 18-kilometer line, or what?
CC: We - Our update puts you to - the DELTA-H to 35 kilometers, Mike. Over.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We've got some sw[tc?i positions for you for the high gain. Over.
CC: Roger, Buzz. Select Bravo, OMNI, HIGH-GAIN TRACK to MANUAL; BEAM, WIDE. Over.
LMP: Okay. Bravo, OMNI; TRACK, MANUAL; and BEAM, WIDE.
CC: Roger. And your high-gain angles are minus 50 on the pitch, 270 on the yaw. Over.
LMP: Okay. Going there now.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We have some updates and some things we'd like to talk to you about, if you aren't in the middle of your meal. If it'_ convenient anytime for you, we're ready with some updates. Over.
CDR: What - What are the updates going to apply to?
CC: Roger. We have a couple of changes on the _,_ mission rules NO-GO for your NO-GO card, Neil. One slight change on the APS/DPS fuel and TEMP pressure card, and we have a change tc the procedure for the secondary radiator leak check, which is to be formed at - perform_d at 71 hours tomorrow, and also some indications that we have a couple of landing site obliques stowed in the wrong place. Over.
CDR: Okay. Is any of those in the flight plan? The secondary radiator, for example?
CC: That's affirmative. The secondary radiator leak check is called out in the flight plan at 71 20. That procedure is listed in your launch operations book on page 2-9, 12-9. We'd like to change that procedure. Over.
CMP: Charlie, on the secondary leak check, just read it verbatim like you want, and I'11 copy directly into the flight plan and not fool around with the checklist.
CC: Roger. That's fine. If you're ready to copy, stand by.
CMP: Ready to copy on the leak check.
CC: Roger. It's monitor secondary accumulator quantity. Step 2 is secondary glycol to radiator valve, NORMAL for 30 seconds, then BYPASS. If no decrease in secondary accumulator quantity - Are you with me?
CMP: Yes_ I'm with you.
CC: Okay. If no decrease in secondary accumulator quantity, secondary glycol to radiator valve to NORMAL. Next step, secondary coolant loop pump, 38/3 AC-1 or AC-2. After 3 minutes, verify glycol discharge secondary pressure 39 to 51 psig. Also verify secondary EVAP out TEMP has changed. Next step, secondary coolant loop pump, OFF. Secondary glycol to radiator valve, BYPASS. That ends the procedure. Over.
CMP: Okay. I read back: monitor secondary accumulator quantity; secondary glycol radiator valve, NORM_L for 30 seconds, then to BYPASS. If no decrease in secondary accumulator quantity, secondary glycol to radiator valve to NORMAL. Secondary coolant loop pump, AC-1 or 2. After 3 minutes, w_'if_ glycol secondary discharge pressure 39 to 5] psion. Verify secondary evaporator outlet TEM]_ has ch_nged. coolant Secondary loop pump, OFF. Secondary glycol radiator valve to BYPASS. And what's the reason ?or the change, Charlie?
CC: Roger. Stan is concerned that our present proced_ _,_ as shown in the checklist does not really flow glycol through the radiator, and it - They want to verify that we do not have a plugged secondary radiator. Over. any
CMP: Okay. They have abnormal indications in that system, so far?
CC: Negative. This is the procedure that they came up with. It's just a check, Mike. Everything's looking great to us. Over.
CDR: Charlie, we'11 get back with you on these other changes in a few minutes. Okay?
CC: Roger, Neil. No hurry. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. We're wondering who's on horn.
CMP: Say again, Houston?
CC: We just had a little music there.
CMP: We'11 keep you entertained.
CC: Roger. That was good. You can keep it coming down, 11.
CMP: Okay. Because
CMP: it's a special occasion today, Houston. This is the third anniversary of Gemini 10. anniversary.
CC: Roger. Happy
LMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Ready to copy your update.
CC: Okay, Buzz. The first item is that we have indica- tions that your landing site obliques are not in the proper position. If you'11 check, we Chink that the intermediate-scale landing site oblique is stowed in the CSM lunar landmark book. We think that the large-scale landing site oblique is surface stowed in the back of the _4 lunar map book. Over.
LMP: I think I heard you Charlie, but I'm not sure that I understand.
CC: Roger. According to our stowage list the - the landing site oblique should be in the transfer bag. In - But in the backup set of data, the intermediate-scale oblique is in the CSM lunar landmark book, and the large-scale oblique is in the back of the LM lunar surface map book; and that's the reason we think that they might be not where you think they are. Over.
LMP: Okay. We've got three obliques. The last one is one I asked for recently. It's just a blow-up of the second one. The first one is one that's got dotted lines on it, indicating horizon view and 50-degree LPD; and all three of those are in the transfer book. Over.
CC: Roger. Fine. We were wrong in our - in our backup set. We had those out of place. Looks like the onboa_d data's good. We just wanted to let you check on that one. We have an update on the APS/DPS fuel card that you place on the panel. It's a typo error. If you'11 break out that little card, we've got the - correct that typo error. Over.
LMP: Okay. I got it.
CC: Roger, Buzz. Under the DPS column on the pressure side, you go down to the fourth item, says pres- sure greater than 150 PTCA should be greater than 65 percent. Over. than
LMP: Okay. That's greater 1.8 but less than 65 and than greater than 150 for greater 65.
CC: That's affirmative. Out.
CC: And we have three items on the mission rules NO-GO card, if you're ready to copy those. Over.
LMP: Okay. I've got the mission rules NO-GO.
CC: Roger, Buzz. First entry's on the EPS under AC bus A. The line extends all the way to high gate. Actually, the line should read - at DOI it would be NO-GO AC bus A. After that the NO-GO would be both buses. So if you will just pencil in both buses from PDI through high gate, it'11 be correct for that llne. Over.
LMP: Okay. I've got that: AC bus A for DOI and both buses NO-GO for PDI on.
CC: That's affirmative up until high gate. You can stop at the line in front of the column "5 minutes to iow gate." Now the next line is under the G&C PGNS, pitch and roll GDA's. You can scratch that line completely. Over.
CC: Okay, Buzz. Last entry is down under RCS, _nad it's a typo error under the three - in the line "three- axis attitude control." If you proceed to the right at PDI plus 05, you'11 see one axis. The line goes all the way to low gate to touchdown. That's incorrect. The line should stop under "5 min- utes to low gate." Over.
LMP: Okay. We're stopping that at "5 minutes to low gate."
CC: That's affirmative. That completes that card. The rest of the updates are just really for your information based on our 58-hour platform - look at the platform. We are really good shape. Your GYRO's have almost no drift in them since - plotted update we were looking at X of a minus 2.24 ... 5 of point plus 0.87, Z of minus 0.11. Since the apdate, which was based on the 52-hour P52, I oelieve, we gave you an X drift of plus 0.79, yaw of plus 1.06, Z of plus 0.02 ... I can see the difference between the 52-hour and the 57-hour alignments were - did not really give us enough time to get a real good or completely valid update on the drift check. So we're real satisfied with the way the GYRO's are looking. The PIPA's are looking great also. We are in real good shape with those, too. Over.
CDR: This is Apollo 1t. Radio check.
CC: Roger. Reading you five-by. How me? Over. and
CDR: Okay. Loud clear. You cut out when you were about talking about the platform - something 52 hours and after that, we never heard you again.
CC: Roger. Guess we were changing antennas. Stand by. That's affirmative, 11. We were swapping antennas on you down here. Basically the word is that we have a real good platform, very small drift on the GYRO's, and very small drift in the PIPA's. Over.
CDR: Roger. Thank you. And I would like to have a few words of clarification if you will give them to me on the RCS ... what that change of pitch may mean.
CC: Copy. A few words of clarification on the RCS? Oh. Roger. The update there, Neil, you are speaking of about the one axis down to 5 minutes of low gate?
CDR: Yes. That's right. I'm not quite sure what that ... means beyond 5 minutes.
CC: Stand by. I'11 make sure I got my story straight with Control. Stand by.
CC: 11, Houston. On the RCS, what we are saying is that if we lose control about one axis prior to low gate, we would recommend an abort. This would require a - a loss of - of two distinct jets which is not very probable, but that is what we are recommending. After low gate we would continue on. We would recommend that we continue on to attempt a landing. Over.
CDR: Roger. I think I ...
CMP: Charlie, did you say you had some updates for me from the lunar surface book?
CC: Apollo 11, say again. You were cut out. Over.
CMP: Roger. Did you say you had some updates for us in the lunar surface book. Over.
CC: Negative. At this time, we do not have an> updates for the lunar surface book. We wanted you to have it Just in case. Over.
CMP: Roger. You were cut out that time.
CC: Roger. At the present time, we do not have any updates for you on the lunar surface book. We are thinking about some and kicking them around, but they're very minor changes. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. Did you copy that transmission?
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We swapped antennas on you again. I say again that we do not have any lunar surface update - book updates at this time. We're considering a few minor ones, but we're still kicking them around the MOCR. Over.
CMP: Apollo 11, I understand.
CDR: Houston, 11. We have a crew status report for you.
CC: Roger. Go ahead, 11.
CDR: Okay. Radiation: CDR 11009, C_T 10010, L_ 09011. No medication.
CC: Roger, 11. We copy for the radiations. Ar,d, We're considering - This PTC looks sort of weird to us, so we're considerin_ stopp_n_ and startin_ over again_ and we'11 be with you in a couple of minutes. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Would you give us the LM/C_I DELTA-P reading? Over.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We switched the antennas on you again. Would you please give us the LM/CM DELTA-P reading? Over.
CDR: Go ahead. 11 here.
CC: Roger. We switched antennas on you, there, moment:_ ago, Neil. Could you please giv_ us the t,M/CM DELTA-P reading? Over.
CDR: It's less than 0.1.
CMP: 0.15, now, Neil says, Charlie.
CC: Roger. Thank you, Mike. Could you give us some help? This PTC is strange: it's not like :my- thing we've seen before. We were wonderin_ if you have had any events or any odd data that could help us out. Over.
CMP: I didn't understand that. Say again.
CC: Roger. We're looking at a - sort of a funny looking PTC. We've already drifted out to 70 de- grees in pitch and we're wondering if you all have had any vents or any such thing as that, that could have caused us to pick up these rates to drive us off. Over.
CMP: I_egative, Charlie. We don't know of anything.
CMP: Unless it's got something to do with that entry from the position that we want to be in. I don't know.
CC: Roger. When we started off, it looked real f_ne to us. Now it's drifting off with a funny pattern that we haven't seen previously on a flight. And we're just trying to figure out - I think we'11 probably start it over again. We'11 be w_th you momentarily. Over.
CMP: Okay. s:_y
CC: Apollo 11, ttouston. We hate to it, but w_ 'ti like to terminate this PTC and start ow_r a_?_iu. We have no assurance that we're goimz to get it through the sleep period with this fmmy config- uration, or funny pattern. We'd like you to stop it now and go back to pitch 090, yaw 0, and roll - whatever you stop on. Over.
CC: 11, Houston. We recommend you disable Bravo and Charlie; select quads Alfa and Delta. Over.

CC: Roger. Reading you about one-by. Looks like we picked a super attitude here for PTC stabilization. We're readinf, you in BACKUP VOICE now. Over.
CDR: Ro_er. We read you loud and clear.
CDR: Would you like us to pick another antenna?
CC: I think we've got about the best configuration. We've been doing it all from the ground here, 11. We'11 just keep it as it is. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Would you select COMMAND RESET and OMNI AlfaL? Over.
CDR: Houston, 11 on OMNI Alfa.
CC: Roger. We read you about three-by now. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We is stable; you can start the PTC. Over.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Checklist page F9-7; I've completed step 8, and I'd like to know what y¢>u think is ideal timing between step 8, stet_ 9, and step 10 on that page? Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We don't see any time con- straint. We'd like you to go ahead and set up the wide deadband and then go through step 10 and 11. Over.
CMP: Okay. Will do. I don't see any constraint here, Charlie. I was just checking to make sure, because last time, I went from 8 to 9 to 10 to 11 a little bit more swiftly than I'd been doing in the past.
CMP: Step 11 complete.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Would you please select OMNI Bravo? Over.
CMP: Roger. Bravo.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. How do you read on Bravo?
CC: Roger. Reading you five-by.
CMP: Same here.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Looks like we've got a good PTC going. It's good night from the White Team. Over.
CMP: Okay. See you tomorrow. _ank you for every- thing.
CC: Go 'ahead, 11. Over.
CDR: Do you have any idea _iere the S-[VB is w_th respect to us?
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. The S-IVB is about 6000 nau- tical miles from you now. Over.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. How's the PTC looking?
CC: 11, ttouston. The PTC looks great to us. Over. ha_penod to Mu,
CMP: tfey, do you have any idea what previous one?
CC: We have absolutely no idea. Over.
CMP: Okay. Did, it look like it was all right, then just all of a sudden start diverging?
CC: That's negative, Mike. If you'11 look at the plot, which we'11 save for you and let you see it postflight, it started off immediately on the first REV and just spiraled out to about - oh 20 to - 20 degrees in pitch, and then it seemed to be setting up a spiral around an offset pitch point of about 20 degrees off from 90 degrees; but we didn't want to take a chance that it would become stable at that point. We thought it might diverge, and so we called you and started over again. Over.

CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Good morning.
LMP: Good morning. Are you planning a midcourse cor- rection 4 this morning?
CC: That's negative. Midcourse number l_is not required. We were going to let you sleep in until about 71 hours if you'd like to turn over.
LMP: Okay. That'11 be fine.
CC: Say again, Buzz. You were cut off there.
LMP: OkaY. I'11 see you at 71 hours.
CC: Roger. %
LMP: Good morning again, Houston. Apollo 11.
CC: Roger 11. Good morning. When you - -
LMP: Would you like the 02 purge this morning?
CC: Yes indeed. 02 fuel cell purge at 71 hours, and when you feel like copying, I've got a flight plan update containing - I guess that and some other items for you.
LMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Go ahead with the flight plan update.
CC: Roger, 11. This is Houston. At approximately 71 hours to 72 hours, we have you down for an eat period which I imagine is probably in prog- ress ,1ready. 71 hours: 02 fuel cell purge; 72 hours GET: C02 filter change number 6, secondary radiator flow check. And we'11 send you up a P37 block data on a 2 hour pass, pericynthion pass, return mode abort. At 73 hours 00 minutes: stop PTC at approximately 0 degrees roll. That is, when you're ccming up on 0 degrees roll angle around 73 hours, we'd like you to stop PTC. And perform a P52 option 3 remaining in the PTC REFSMMAT for a drift give check. 73 hours, 20 minutes: we'11 you a P27 update to the landing site REFSMMAT, LOI-1 state vector, and target load. 73 hours 30 minutes: maneuver to 000 roll, pitch, and yaw; high gain antenna angles will be pitch 0, yaw 335; and perform a P52 option i using the new landing site REFSMMAT. Resume the nominal flight plan at 74 hours GET. Over.
CC: Okay. We'11 get started on the fuel cell purge while we're eating. C02 canister change number 6; secondary radiator flow check; copy some pads. Also at 72 hours, stop PTC 0 roll at 73; do a P52 option 3; we'11 get your uplink REFSMMAT for the landing site; and at 000 - let's see, now was this with the old REFSMMAT or the new REFS_S{AT? ... antenna
LMP: - - and, pitch - -
CC: - - This is with the new REFSMMAT, Buzz.
LMP: You said you want the P52 done at that attitude with the new REFS_fi_AT?
CC: Apollo 11, this is Housto n . Over.
CMP: Houston, go ahead.
CC: Roger, 11. Correction on mY last, At 73 20, we uplink you the new REFSMMAT. And at 73 30, we'd like you to maneuver to 0 roll, 0 pitch, 0 yaw in the old REFSMMAT. And then torque around to the new REFSMMAT and run your P52 option 1 in that same inertial attitude. Over.
CC: I've got eons_,m_bles update, when you're ready to copy.
CMP: I Just got up, but you didn't catch me cn that one.
CC: I say I have one for you.
CMP: Okay. We're ready to copy that consumable update.
CC: Roger. As of GET 68 00, RCS total minus 4.5 per- cent, corresponding to approximately minus 53 pounds. Alfa minus 6.0 percent, minus 1.O per- cent, minus 7.0 percent, minus 3.0 percent; H2 total, minus 1.2 pounds; 02 total, plus 10 pounds. Over.

CC: Roger. 7.5 for each. Over.
CC: Negative. LMP 6.5.
CC: Roger. 7.5, 7.5 and 6.5. And I got a few words for you here on the SPS engine performance. Over.
LMP: Okay. We're ready to listen.
CC: Okay, 11. It turns out that the engine performance burns during both of your so far this mission has been the same as it was on engine acceptance tests. The onboard PC reading is due to a known gage calibration factor between what you've actually got in the chamber and what you're reading out on the gage. We expect single-bank operation to be 90 - that is, 90 psi on the gage with an actual chamber pressure of 95 psi. In dual-bank operation, the chamber pressure is 94 psi on the gage with an actual of 99 psi. 80 psi on the gage on board correlates to 83 psi actual. And we recommend that you stick to an LOI termination cue of 80 psi on the gage. That is, no change to the mission rules. Over.
CDR: Apollo 11. Roger. We got all that.
CC: Houston. Out.
LMP: Houston. Apollo 11.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Go ahead. Over.
CC: Roger, 11. We're reading you loud and clear now. We were down in the noise as we switched antennas a minute or so ago. Over.
CMP: Roger. What sort of settings could you recommend for the solar corona? We've got the Sun right behind the edge of the Moon now.
LMP: It's quite an erie sight. There is a very marked three-dimensional aspect of having the [_un's corona coming from behind the Moon the way it is.
LMP: And it looks as though - I guess what's giving it that three-dimensional effect is the earthshine. I can see Tycho fairly clearly - at least if I'm right side-up, I believe it's Tycho, in moonshine - I mean, in earthshine. And, of course, I can see the sky is lit all the way around the Moon, even on the limb of it where there's no earthshine or sunshine.
CC: Roger. If you'd like to take some pictures, we recommend using magazine Uniform which is loaded with high speed black and white film, interior lights off, electric Hasselblad with the 80- millimeter lens. And you're going to have to hand-hold us, I guess. We're recommending an f-stop of 2.8, and we'd like to get a sequence of time exposures. Over.
LMP: Okay. You want magazine Uniform instead of magazine Tango ? Over.
CC: Roger. We're not trying to get you all wrapped up in a procedure here. This is on a not-to-interfere basis, of course. Over.
CC: And on the exposures we're looking for an eighth And, you of a second,, a half a second. if think can you steady the camera against anything to get exposures, longer 2 seconds, 4 seconds, and 8 sec- onds. Over.
UNKNOWN: Go ahead, l[o_uton.
CC: Roger. We'd like to do a little CHYO tank balancing. So, if you could position the oxygen tank number 1 heater switch to OFF and hydrogen tank 2 heater switch to OFF leaving all the rest of the CRYO switches the same, we'11 let it run that way for a few hours. Over.
CMP: Okay. Stand by one on those switches. We'11 get them in a minute.
CC: Roger. And how far out can you see the corona extending? Over. i
CDR: ... bit like zodiacal light. It keeps going out farther and farther. We'11 talk about it a little more later.
CDR: ... We've got quite a few pictures ...
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. I think we have COMM again. We heard you calling. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Were you calling? Over.
CC: Houston, Apollo 11. Understand you want the heaters OFF for hydrogen tank i and oxygen tank 1. Is that affirmat ire ?
CC: That's negative, Mike. Hydrogen tank number 2 heaters OFF and oxygen tank number I heaters OFF.
CMP: I have hydrogen tank number 2 heaters OFF; I have oxygen tank number i heaters OFF.
CMP: Houston. Apollo 11. The earthshine coming through the window is so bright you can read a book by it. And,
CDR: Houston, I'd suggest that along the ecliptic line we can see the corona light out to two lunar diameters from this location. The bright light only extends out about an eighth to a quarter of the lunar radius.
UNKNOWN: Understand that you can see the corona approximately 200 solar diameters out along the ecliptic, and the bright light extends out approximately one-eighth to one-quarter lunar radius. Over.
CDR: That's two lunar - two lunar diameters along the ecliptic in the bright part, right; a quarter to an eighth of a lunar radius out, and that's perpendicular to the ecliptic line on the South Pole.
CDR: Houston, it's been a real change for us. Now we and are able to see stars again recognize con- stellations for the first time on the trip. It's - the sky is full of stars. Just like the nightside of Earth. But all the way here, we have only been able to see stars occasionally and perhaps through the monocular, but not recognize any star patterns.
CC: I guess it has turned into night up there really, hasn't it ? has.
CDR: Really
CC: 11, this is Houston. Go ahead. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Do you read? Over. Houston.
CC: Apollo 11, this is How do you read? Over.
CDR: Okay. We went to HIGH GAIN. Looks like you had a little trouble getting signal strength there.
CC: Roger. We missed an OMNI switch there. Over.
CDR: All right. On the secondary loop check when we went to FLOW on the secondary radiators, the quantity dropped from 40 percent down to 36 in the first 10 seconds and then stabilized at 36 for the remainder of the 30 seconds.
CC: Apollo tl, this is Houston. We believe that is system normal operation. The radiators are ex- pected to be very cold right now and apparently the decrease you saw was due to contraction in the fluid. Over.
CDR: Okay. We will go ahes_twith the procedure Just as if there were no decrease in accumulator quantity. Right?
CC: Roger. Press on.
CDR: And, Houston, the secondary radiator flow check is complete andsatisfactory.
CMP: And that's a good deal because we don't have to have any meetings about whether we're going to do it or don't do it any more.
CC: That's for sure.
CC: The Flight Director says "ouch."
CMP: No. No "ouch" intended. I enjoyed every one of those meetings.
CC: 11, this is Houston. I have your pericynthion plus 2 PAD, P30 format; when you're ready to copy.

CC: No change in the LM's weight - in the LM weight, and the readback is correct. Out.
CC: Roger. We're having difficulty getting commands into the spacecraft. We'd like you to cycle your UP TELEMETRY switch to COMMAND RESET and OFF and then back to NORMAL. Over.
CDR: OkaY. We'11 do it.
CDR: We have you on high gain right now. You want us to switch over to OMNI?
CC: Negative. We Would like to stay on the high gain if we can. Over.
CC: Roger. We'd like you to switch to OMNI Delta as we show you approximately at the scan limit of the high gain antenna. Now we will then command OMNI Delta down here after you advise us you've switched, and then you can select Bravo on board and we will be back in the OMNI antenna commanding business. Over.
CDR: Okay. We're going to Delta now.
CC: 11, Houston. You can go ahead and select OMNI Bravo on board now.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. If you have a min- ute or so free, we can read you up the morning news here.
CDR: Go right ahead; let's hear it.
CC: Roger. Hot from the wires of the MSC Public Affairs Office, especially prepared for the crew of Apollo 11.
CC: Okay. First off, it looks like it's going to be impossible to get away from the fact that you guys are dominating all the news back here on Earth. Even Pravda in Russia is headlining the mission and calls Nell, "The Czar of the Ship." I think maybe they got the wrong mission.
CC: West Germany has declared Monday to be "Apollo Day." School children in Bavariahave been given the day off. Post Office clerks have been encouraged to bring radios to work and Frankfurt is installing TV sets in public places.
CC: BBC in London is considering a special radio alarm system to call people to their TV sets in case there is a change in the EVA time on the Moon.
CC: And in Italy, Pope Paul VI has arranged for a special color TV circuit at his summer residence in order to watch you, even though Italian tele- vision is still black and white.
CC: Back here in Houston, your three wives and chil- dren got together for lunch yesterday at Buzz's house. And according to Pat, it turned out to be a gabfest. The children swam and did some high jumping over at Buzz's bamboo pole.
CC: In Moscow, space engineer Anatol Koritsky was quoted by TASS as saying that Luna 15 could accomplish everything that has been done by earlier Luna spacecraft. This was taken by the press to mean Luna 15 could investigate the gravitational fields, photograph the Moon, and go down to the surface to scoop up a bit for analysis.
CC: Even the kids at camp got into the news when Mike Jr. was quoted as replying "yeah" when somebody asked him if his daddy was going to be in history. Then after a short pause he asked, "What is history?" In Washington, President Nixon is planning to use his executive power to stream- line the Interstate Commerce Commission. Accord- ing to industry sources, it was reported Nixon would trim the commission from 11 to 7 members by not making new appointments.
CC: And the big news around Houston today concerns the Astros. In the sports world, the Houston Astros rallied in the ninth inning at Cincinnati to dump the Reds 7 to 4. Going into the ninth however, things looked pretty Bleak. :The Astros were trailing 4 to 3. Then with one out, Jesus Alou stroked a single to right field. John Edwards hit another single to right, and Sandy Valdespino hit a double tobring in the tying run. Julio Gotay was walked and Joe Morgan dropped a bunt for the game-winning play. A wild throw to the plate allowed another run to score, then a sacrifice flyby Dennis Menke brought in the final run. They really came through in the ninth.
CC: And other games in the National League - -
CMP: Yes. Those Astros have really been catching those flies since they put a roof on the stadium.
CC: Good work.
CC: In other games in the National League, New York beat Montreal 5 to 2; Pittsburgh beat St. Louis 4 to l; and Atlanta over San Diego in the first 2. game of a double header 6 to
CC: In the American League, Detroit beat Cleveland 4 to nothing; New York trounced Washington 5 to nothing; Baltimore outhit - Boston outhit Balti- more to score 6 runs to the Orioles' 2; and Chicago beat Kansas City 6 to 1.
CC: Okay. In golf world, Tommy Jacobs, an infrequent competitor inrecent years, took the lead in the Philadelphia Golf Classic yesterday. His second round score was 139.
CC: You might be interested in knowing, since you are already on the way, that a Houston astrologer, Ruby Graham, says that all the signs are right for your trip to the Moon. She says that Nell is clever, Mike has good judgment, and Buzz can work out intricate problems. She also says Nell tends to see the world through rose-colored glasses, but he is always ready to help the afflicted or distressed. Nell, you are also suppose to have "intuition that enables you to interpret life with feeling." Buzz is to be very sociable and cannot bear to be alone in addition to having excellent critical ability. Since she didn't know at what hour Mike was born, she has decided that he either has the same attributes as Nell or he is inventive with an unconventional attitude that might seem eccentric to the unimaginative.
UNKNOWN: last but not - ~
CMP: Who said all that?
CC: (Laughter) Ruby Graham, an astrologer here in Houston. Now we check with Flight Operations for all the signs for the mission, and then we, of course, had to make sure that everything was really all set.
CDR: Houston, 11. You're cutting out ..,
CC: Apollo 11, APollo il, this is Houston. We're switching OMNI's. Can you stand by for about 2 minutes?
CDR: Houston, 11. Radio check.
CDR: Roger. You cut out after Tommy Jacobs. I guess we got into antenna switching problems.
CC: Okay. Following Tommy Jacobs, we have the hot smoking word from a local Houston astrologer by the name of Ruby Graham. She says that all the signs are right for your trip to the Moon. Neil is clever, Mike has good JudEment, and Buzz can work out intricate problems. She also says Neil tends to see the world through rose-colored glasses but is always ready to help the afflicted or distressed. Neil_ you are also supposed to have "intuition that enables you to interpret life with feeling," Buzz is supposed to be very sociable and cannot bear to be alone in addition to having excellent critical ability. Since she didn't know at what hour Mike was born, she decided he either has the same attributes as Nell or that he is inventive with an unconventional attitude that might seem eccentric to the unimag- inative. And that's 30 for today. Over.
CDR: Thank you much there, Bruce and Fred Show, we appreciate that.
CMP: Did you hear our comment about the Astros?
CC: The one about the roof?
CC: Hey, Mike, the game was at Cincinnati there, and we think that they're still using Crosby Field up there. I don't believe it has a roof on it.
CDR: You got him on that one.
CC: Right - -
CDR: I think they're just getting to be a good team in the clinch.
CC: They certainly seem to be.
CMP: Well, if they can do that well without a roof, think of what they're going to do with a roof.
CMP: We're trying.
CDR: An old Oiler fan is trying to comment on an alien game.
CMP: You tell Michael Jr., history or no history, he'd better behave himself.
CC: Roger. We'11 pass that along, Mike.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. If it's convenient with you, we have an LOI-1 PAD that we can pass up to you now. Over.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. The next time we pass through roll 0, we're going to stop PTC and that will give us 90 degrees pitch. Now, I understand you want us to move from 90 degrees pitch to 0 degrees pitch for the platform align, option 1. Is that affirmative?
CC: Standby, please.
CDR: And we are ready to copy on the LOI-1.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. When you stop at 0 roll, you will be in approximately 90 pitch, 0 yaw, and 0 roll. We'd like you to run the first P52, that is, the P52 option B, from that attitude. Then we'11 uplink you a new REFSMMAT, either before or while you are mRneuvering to 000, and then you can torque the platform around and run the second REFSMMAT. Over. Run the second P52. Over.
CC: And I copied you are ready for the LOI-1 pad. Over.
CC: LOI-1, SPS G&N: 62710, plus 098, minus 019, GET ignition 075 49 4965, minus 28897, minus 03944, minus 00686.

The horizon will be visible Just below the upper edge of the hatch window 2 minutes prior to the LOI burn. It will not be visible in the rendez- vous window on the left-hand side. LOS at 75 hours 41 minutes 23 seconds. AOS at 76 15 29. AOS without the LOI burn 76 02 30. The values which you would see on NOUN 42 prior to LOI burn are HA plus 431.3, HP minus 128.2. Readback. Over.
CDR: Roger. LOI-1, SPS G&N: 62710, plus 098, minus 019, 075 49 4965, minus 28897, minus 03944, minus 00686; 358 226 347; 01692, plus 00610; 29173 602 29108; 31 106.6 358.

Say again LOS time.
CC: Roger. LOS time 75 41 23. Over.
CDR: Understand 75 41 23.
CC: 11, this is Houston. Readhack correct. Out.
CC: Roger. Apparently we missed getting your onboard readouts on battery Charlie and PYRO batteries Alfa and Bravo last night. I wonder if you could give us some fresh numbers. Over.
LMP: Youwant the readings now?
CC: Yes, please. If it's convenient for you.
LMP: Okay. All three of the are still 37.1. TM
CC: Roger. 37.1 cubed. Out.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. The P52 option 3 is com- plete. We're maneuvering to 000.
CC: Roger. We observe your maneuvering, and we'11 have some uplinks for you in a couple of minutes here.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. We observe you're in P00. If you'11 give us ACCEPT, we'11 start ouruplinks.
CMP: You've got it, Houston.
CC: Roger. We're on low bit rate at the present time so it's going to take us a little bit longer than normal to get this stuff up to you. Over.
CDR: I guess we're in no rush.
CC: Okay. We're here if you're there.
CDR: The view of the Moon that we've been having recently is really spectacular. It fills about three-quarters of the hatch window, and of course, we can see the entire circumference, even though part of it is in complete shadow and part of it's in earthshine. It's a view worth the price of the trip.
CC: Well, there are a lot of us down here that would be willing to come along.
CMP: I hope you get your turn, and soon.
CDR: One of these days, we'11 be able to bring the whole MOCR along, I hope. Save a lot of antenna switching.
CDR: One of these days, we could bring the whole MOCH along, and then that'11 save a lot of antenna switching.
CC: That's Jolly.
CC: 11, this is Houston. We're showing you - -
CMP: The Czar is brushing his teeth, so I'm filling in for him.
CMP: I said the Czar is brushing his teeth, so I'm filling in for hLm. What can we do for you?
CC: Roger. If you don't get in the way of the Czar while he's brushing his teeth, we'd like you to bring up the primary accumulator quantity a little bit. We're showing the quantity now at 20.6 per- cent on TM. Seems to have gone down a bit since you've gone into the shadow. We'd like it serv- iced to bring the quantity up to between 30 and 40 percent, preferable 35 percent_ Over.
CC: The computer is yours, 11. The loads are in and verified. You can go back to BLOCK. BLOCK.
CMP: We're in
CC: 11, this is Houston. On the basis of your last P52 alignment, the platform looks like it's indeed performing very well. No problems there, no updates required, and no PIPA bias update is required either. Over.
CMP: Sounds good.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Radio check.
CC: 11, this is Houston. Loud and clear. Over.
CMP: Okay. Just checking. Do you want high gain?
CC: Roger. If you can give it to us.
CC: Loud and clear on the high gain.
CMP: Same here. We've completed the P52 option 1.
CC: Roger. We've been looking over your shoulder by TM.
CMP: Glad to have you. and TEI 4. Over.
CC: Roger. I've got the 1 and 4 PAD's here, right now. I'11 be ready to read them up to you in just a second.
CC: 11, this is Houston. I'm ready with the TEI 1 and 4 PAD's. Over.
CC: Roger. TEI l, SPS G&N: 38658, minus 054, plus 065, TIG 078 02 0345, plus 29180, plus 03779, minus 01325; roll NA, pitch 041. The balance of the PAD is NA. Ullage two jets, 19 seconds. TEI 4 PAD, SPS G&N: 38658, minus 054, plus 065, TIG 084 29 5059, plus 31373, plus 03760, minus 00968; roll NA, pitch 034. The rest cf the PAD is NA. Ullage two jets, 19 seconds. Both of these PAD's are for an undocked maneuver. TEI plus 4 PAD assumes no LOI-2. Over. Make that TEI 4 PAD assumes no LOI-2.
UNKNOWN: LMP Roger. TEI 1, SPS G&N: 38658, minus 054, plus 065, 078 02 0345, plus 29180, plus 03779, minus 01325; roll NA, pitch 041; two jets, 19 seconds, undocked.

CC: 11, this is Houston - -
LMP: - - Apollo 11. Over.
CC: - - 11, this is Houston. Readback correct. Out.
LMP: Roger. Go ahead, Houston.
CC: Roger. At GET of 74 30, we'd like you to cycle the fans in all four CRYO tanks and position the heaters in all four CRYO tanks to the A_£O position. We're doing this in advance of LOI in order to insure that you don't have any destratification as a result of the burn, which might result in giving you a master caution and warning during the burn. Over.
LMP: Okay. Was that 74 30? You want us to cycle the heaters and turn - cycle the fans and turh all the heaters on.
CC: All the heaters to AUTO; cycle the fans at 74 30, about 25 minutes from now. Over.
CC: 11, this is Houston. Radio check. Over.
CC: Roger. Loud and clear now.
CDR: Apparently this is not a very good 0M_I attitude for you. We're ready to start our PTC check.
CC: 11, this is Houston. We're ready', except that we'd like to get the high gain antenna prior to this test. Over.
CDR: Can you give us a couple of pointing angles?
CC: Roger. From an attitude with 60 degrees roll, around to an attitude of roll 058 inertial. It would be pitch plus 30 and yaw 270 on the high gain antezma.
CC: Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston. Radio check. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Do you read? Over.
CC: Roger. We're reading you weak but clear.
CDR: Roger. We put our - our roll for MSFN track in on the wrong side. Going to continue rolling around until we get high gain here. And, we'11 tile TVC check.
CC: Say again please, 11.
CDR: Roger. We put the wrong sign in - -
CDR: - - for the roll correction to get MSFN high gain, and we're continuing rolling around to get the proper attitude for high gain at this time. We will delete the pitch m_neuver that was scheduled subsequent to - subsequent to the TV check since we already have those pictures.
UNKNOWN: We copy. And we recommend that you go ahead and complete your TVC test on board. If you have problems, we'11 talk to you when you get around further into the high gain antenna attitude. Over.
CDR: Houston, how do you read on high gain?
CC: Oh, loud and clear on high gain, 11.
CDR: Roger. We're proceeding.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. We observed your gimbal test down here, and it looked good to us. Over.
CDR: Roger. It looked good here.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Radio cheek. Over.
CC: Roger. And your systems are looking good from down here.
CMP: Yes. Looks good up here too, Bruce.
LMP: Roger. Go ahead Houston, Apollo 11.
CC: 11, this is Houston. You are GO for LOI. Over.
LMP: Roger. GO for LOI.
CC: And we're showing about 10 minutes and 30 seconds to LOS. I would like to remind you to enable the BD roll on the AUTO RCS switches. Over.
UNKNOWN: Roger. And confirm you want PCM low going over the hill. Over.
CC: That's affirmative, 11.
LMP: If you want to, I'11 put it back to high until just before LOS. Over.
CC: Negative, 11. Low is okay for now. Over.
CDR: Houston, do you want to give me a time check, please?
CC: Roger. I'11 give you a Mark at 13 minutes and 30 seconds to ignition.
CDR: Okay. And then a GET, please.
CC: Stand by a minute.
CC: I'11 give you a time hack on the GET at 75 hours 37 minutes and I'11 try that bias at about a second and a half to allow for the time of flight.
UNKNOWN: 37 minutes GET.
CC: And I'11 give you a time hack on time to ignition at 12 minutes to ignition. Over.
CC: Stand by for a Mark at TIG minus 12.
CC: TIG minus 12.
CDR: You were right on, Bruce. Thank you.
CC: Two minutes to LOS.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. All your systems are looking good going around the corner, and we'11 see you on the other side. Over.
CDR: Everything looks okay up here.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 11. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston. We are reading you weakly. Go ahead. Over.
CDR: Roger. Burn status report follows. RELTA-TIG zero, burn time 557, ... V minus O.1, V gx gy minus 0.1, Vg z plus 0.1, DELTA-V C minus 0.390,\ fuel, plus 3 ... 42. Over.
CC: 11, this is Houston. These residuals, do you have minus 0.17
CDR: ... V minus 0.1, V minus 0.1, V 1.1, and gx gy gz a burn time of 5 plus 57. Stand by, maybe the COMMwill improve a little bit. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Are you in the process of acquiring data on the burn? Over.
CC: Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston. How do you read?
CDR: Reading you loud and clear, Houston. How us?
CC: Roger. Reading you the same, now. Could you repeat your burn status report? We copied the residuals and burn time, and that was about it. Send the whole thing again, please.
CDR: It was like - like perfectX DELTA-TIG zero, burn time 557, shaft value on the angles, V minus 0.1, gx V minus 0.1, V plus 0.1, no trim, minus 6.8 gy gz on DELTA-Vc, fuel was 38.8, LOX 39.0, plus 50 on balance, and we ran an increase on the PUGS, NOUN 44 showed us in a 60.9 by 169.9.
CC: Roger. We copy your burn status report. And the spacecraft is looking good to us on telemetry.
CDR: Everything looks good up here.
CDR: Apollo 11 is getting its first view of the land- ing approach. This time we are going over the Taruntius crater, and the pictures and maps brought back by Apollo 8 and 10 have given us a very good preview of what to look at here. It looks very much like the pictures, but like the difference between watching a real football game and watching it on TV. There's no substitute for actually being here.
CC: Roger. We concur, and we surely wish we could see it firsthand, also. right at the time, looking vertically down oN them, and Messier A we can see good sized blocks in the bottom of the crater. I don't know what our altitude is now, but in any case, those are pretty good size blocks.
CC: Okay. Just roughly, it looks like you are about 120 miles or 1BO miles right now - make that 127 miles.
CDR: We're approaching PDI point now. Over.
CDR: There's Secchi in sight.
LMP: We're going over Mount Marilyn at the present time, and it's ignition point.
CC: Roger. Thank you. And our preliminary tracking data for the first few minutes shows you in a 61.6 by 169.5 orbit. Over.
CC: And Jim is smiling.
CC: 11, Houston. During your SPS burn as played back on tape down here, we've observed the nitrogen tank Bravo pressure in the SPS system dropping a little bit more than we anticipated. It's holding steady right now. We'11 continue to watch it and keep you posted if anything comes up. Over.
CC: Right. And it has held steady - -
CDR: Currently going over Maskelyne Mas -
CDR: And Boothill, Duke Island, Sidewinder, looking at Maskelyne W, thatls the yaw round checkpoint, and Just coming into the terminator. At the terminator it's ashen and gray. As you get further away from the terminator, it gets to be solar point, you can definitely see browns and tans on the ground, according to the last Apollo 11 observation anyway.
CC: Roger, 11. We're recording your comments for posterity.
CDR: (Laughter) Okay.
CMP: Did somebody in the background - do they accuse us of being compromisers? Huh!
CDR: And landing site is well into the dark here. I don't think we're going to be able to see any- thing of the landing site this early.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. When you have a free minute, could you give us your onboard readout of N2 tank Bravo, please. And we'd like to make sure you understand that ever since you stopped thrusting with the SPS, the temperature in this tank has remained steady. Over. Make that the pressure has remained steady.
CMP: Roger. We understand tank pressure has stayed steady. Thank you.
LMP: Roger. We're showing the N 2 tank pressure and the tank Bravo to he 1960, something like that, and Alfa is, oh, about 2250. Over.
CC: Roger. We show 2249 in Alfa and 1946 down here.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. How about coming up with some roll, pitch, and yaw angles in which to stop this so-called ORB RATE that I'm doing.
CC: Roger. Standby.
CC: We'11 have them for you in a minute, Ii.
CMP: Okay. And time to stop also, please.
CC: Roger. We show you, in the flight plan, staying in orbital rate until about 79 hours 10 minutes. Do you have some particular attitude or reason for wanting to go inertial? Over. 50/1
LMP: No, that's fine. I just wanted to confirm that. Until 79 10, then we'11 breeze around here in orbit.
CC: Roger. And we've got an observation you can make if you have some time up there. There's been some lunar transient e_ents reported in the vi- cinity of Aristarchus. Over.
LMP: Roger. We just went into spacecraft darkness. Until then, why, we couldn't see a thing down below us. But now, with earthshine, tne visibility is pretty fair. Looking back behind me, now, I can see the corona from where the Sun has just set. And we'11 get out the map and see what we can find around Aristarchus
UNKNOWN: We're coming upon Aristarchus right now - -
CC: - - Okay. Aristarchus is at angle Echo 9 on your ATO chart. It's about 394 miles nortD of track. However, at your present altitude, which is about 167 nautical miles, it ought to be over - that is within view of your horizon: 23 degrees north, 47 west. Take a look and see if you see anything worth noting up there. Over.
CDR: Both looking.
LMP: Houston, 11. It might help us a little bit if you could give us a time of crossing o _ 45 west.
CC: Say again, please, 11.
LMP: You might give us a time of crossing of 45 west, and then we'11 know when to start searching for Aristarchus.
CC: Roger. You'11 be crossing 45 west at 77 04 10 or _bout 40 seconds from now. Over. Thirty seconds from now.
CC: Apollo 11, when we lose the S-band, we'd like to get OMNI Charlie from you. And update my last, that 77 04 was the time when Aristarchus should become visible over your horizon. 77 12 is point of closest approach south of it. Over.
UNKNOWN: Okay. That sounds better because we just went by Copernicus a little bit ago.
CC: Roger. We show you at about 27 degrees longitude right now.
LMP: Houston, when a star sets up here, there's no doubt about it. One instant it's there, and the next instant it's just completely gone.
CC: · Roger. We copy.
