CC: Okay, Ken_ be a i-degree dead band.
CMP: Okay_ you_'e setting ma in the EMP at !-degree dead band_ is that affh_m?
CC: That Ts affirmative.
CC: Ken, on the NOblX 70_ i read you a - a plus 00047. You actually don't need that plus_ that's aa octal nlllr_b er.
UNKNOWN: Roger. I lmderstand.
C: Okay, it's not clear to me - if we are gcing to exceed this or not_ we normally would not. Do you want to try letting us drift out of the dead band and see if the monitor works?
CC: Negative; thatts - that's not the intent, I think. They just want to get tlhe progrs_m in and look at it.
CMP: Okay. Well, sometime before we get through, would you ask them if they wo_id object to letting us see if that thing triggers the same response that we're used bo _ i:,othink
CC: 0kay_ Ken: we_d like that over. We'11 get back ye you on that.
CC: Okay. Iow I've still got vhis note that we've had since about 24 hours ago on changing the angle on that Su___ wheei_ and if :you have that out now, we can clear_ that up_ otherwise, I_ll hold it a while.
CMP: I don't have it out, but why don't you tell me what it is. I think I know what you're talking about. It's due to the REFSMMAT angles on there being changed.
CC: That's affirmative. And we (belch) inked 'r2l de- grees' on it. We should have writven in "37 degrees_ _
CMP: Okay. It turns out we're at - Ss inked in at 27 and it should be 37.
CMP: Okay, thank you. I'm glad you remembered that.
CC: 16, terminate battery Bravo charge°
CDR: Okay. OkaF_ it's in work.
CDR: W_at's the probability of this - glitch happening? Is it about one in a million?
CC: Stand by 1
CDR: Say again, Pete. You cut out.
CC: 16, I guess we really don't kno,_ the answer to that. Tha_'s one of the reasons we wa_.t t3 get this EMP in to kind of watch for it and see if it's occurrin_ frequently or infrequently. Omni switch _ 16,
CDR: Okay, Don, we're going to go ahead and -ounch througi_ this P52 _d we'11 start with our little procedure here, and you might kind of watch us through and make sure we do it right the first _ime.
CDR: Okay, Houston. You're watching this, righv?
CC: That's aff:-rmavive. We're watching and you can go ahead.
CDR: Okay, and ,_hat did you say the probability was of this thing happening?
CC: Z thir_k we don't know the a_nswer vo tha_, Jo_ir.. That's why we want to load this software progr_ so we can monitor to see if that glitch is occ_- ring frequently - or it may never occur agai:-_ ',_c really don't know.
CMP: Okay, I've got it in. I_m going to call P52.
CC: Can you get the GDC aligned up?
CMP: Oh, yeah.
CDR: Houston, how do you like those angles?
CC: Look real good, 16.
CMP: Do you want us to torque some that small?
CC: Go ahead and torque them.
CMP: Okay. We'11 do it at 1_7minutes. Yeah, I guess that's 51:18, excuse me.
CC: Understand 18 minutes.
CMP: Okay, would you like for me to return it to zero with she switch in MANUAL this time, just to see if you get that glitch?
CC: AffiNnative.
CDR: Going to zero.
CC: And, 116, we didn't see any glitch. There, we're coming up on an omi switch.
CC: _Jad, 16, that EMP that we loaded to protect the platform - we'11 refer _o it as _P 509.
CDR: Okay, 509; sou_nds familiar.
CC: 16, if you'11 go ACCEPT, we've got _n up-link for you. And i_ve got news, if' you'_e interested.
CDR: Okay, here's POO and ACCEPT. _md, yeak, we're interested.
CC: Okay. Former President Lyndon Johnson is resting comfortably after he was hospitalized again follow- ing an increase in his heart rate. He's hospital- ized in San Antonio. Vice President Agnew, speaking here in Houston, has asked the nation's supermarket executives to hold the line on prices. If prices 1or food continue to ssar, Mr. Agnew hinted at mandatory Federal controls. President Nixon addec a stop during his scheduled trip to Moscow. Prior to returning home, he will svo_ off in Poland +o discuss Polish-American relations. The Moscow trip in late May is still on, despite some fears that recent developments in the Viet- namese conflict could affect the President's visit to the Soviet Union. State news: The Texas gov- ernor's ra_e is still a hot item, but no word yet from John Connally, who said he may speak out on the wide-open race. Congressman Pcb Eckhardt says the U. S. needs at least three large super ocean ports to keep in contention with the world market. He says the Galveston-Houston area is a prime superport site.

CC: (Laughter) Was that Consoliaa_ea JacKpot?
CDR: Jack Pine.
CDR: Prc bab]y lost 3 or 4 points again yesterday.
CC: Roger. Charlie, I guess I haven't got those fig- urns handy. We'11 see what we can do.
CC: If you can find out, Pete, you're a better man them I am. i've beer. trying to find it for 10 years.
CC: Okay, Charlie, A_ld you can have your computer back, 16.
CDR: Yeah, that compensation you guys put up there really fixed that baby.

CC: We've got an omi switch, 16. Stand by.
CMP: Houston, do you read Casper?
CC: Yeu're pretty weak.
CC: 16, can you read now?
CMP: Yeah, I read you now. Did you copy when I com- mented about the Skylab food?
CC: Pete, I'm back on the BIO_/YED. How does it look?
CC: Charlie, they're Just now starting to get it. They'11 take a look at; I'11 let you know in a minute. th_:z_ks.
CC: Okay, 'yo_.:wam.t to go ahead wi_h your coraments on the Skyl_!b food, now?
CMP: The comm_nt I made_ Don, was :_lat, because we're behind the time line here, we - w_ _h_ug_ we would pu'; the Skylab food off :_til tonight, sc we have '_ime to do it right. ._a we're Just goir:g to eat snacks for now a_nd try to get cau_ht up a little bit.
CC: Okay; we concur with that, Ke_ _
CMP: [_oger.
CC: 16, we'd like to get the hig: gain up on _his ne:.:t. rev. fou're about i0 minutes away from it now. Do you think you can ma_k:e -ha _ _ ,.... _ _ not, we can wait another rev.
LMP: We'11 get it to you.
CC: Okay, it's PITCH, minus hO; an_ YAW, plus _0, 90
CC: And, Ke_, you can go on )'cur - in your _hecklis_ down ,you're there to the MSFN cue a_y time ready.
UNKNOWN: Houston. 16. Over.
UNKNOWN: ahead, 16.
LMP: Okay, Pete, I hit a COMMkA_D P,ESET there. I wen: _o went soon; the - to HIGH GAIN too arid we're oper- ating n_w in OMNI Bravo. An:_ give me a mark. ?_e high ga:_n Just didn't seem to work; i% looks like I ought to be able to get high gain n_.w. I' II try it.
CC: Negative. You won't be able _o get it yet.
LMP: Okay. 3kay, you're on OMNI Charlie now.
CC: 16, we'11 handle the ommis m-._til we're ready to _io to the high gain, and we'11 tell you when to gc 1o high gain at the angles we lust gave you. 34/7 Tape
LMP: Okay, we're all set, and you're on OMNI Charlie. Will you want me to reconfigure?
CC: Come back to Bravo.
LMP: Okay_ back to - back to Bravo. Okay, you're in 0b_I Bravo.
CC: Oka?. Thank you, Charlie.
CC: 16, would you go ahead and start the pan camera 8_d mapping camera film cycling procedures down to the point in the checklist where it calls - where it calls for a MSFN cue?
LMP: Houston, how much longer un%il we get the high gain?
CC: A couple of minutes_ Charlie.
CC: Okay, 16, you can bring up the high gain.
CC: 16, bring up the high gain now, please.
LMP: Okay, there you go. You got REACQ and NARROW on the HIGH GAIN.
CC: 16, we're ready to proceed with the film cycling.
CMP: Okay, the MAPPING CAMERA is coming on to STANDBY.
CMP: Okay, you ready for mapping camera and pan camera operations ?
CC: S%and by 1. tempera-
CC: 16, stand by. We're checking a couple of tures. Okay, you c_l proceed, 16.
CMP: Oka). The _glPPING CAMERA is coming ON. And the PAN CAMEZ_A SELF TEST has been him .
CMP: Okay, the PAN CAMERA MODE barber pole has gone back to _ray. That took ahou% 40 seconds.
CMP: MA_?ING CAMERA is to OFF.
CMP: Houston, do you copy Casper?
CC: Read yo_ loud and clear, Casyer, Go a?_ead.
CMP: Oksy. The next item here is to tske the MAPPING CAMEPd_ to STANDBY mode, and I assume I should dc that before ! turn the SM/AC POWER OFF.
CC: That's affirmative, 1_.
CC: Ali_ rigat, Casper, after you turn the MAPPING CAMERA to the STANDBY mode, we want you to add PAN CAMERA SELF TEST to HEATERS.
CMP: Okay, you've got HEATERS now. And we're in ST_NDBY, and I'm about to turn the SM/AC POWER OFF unless you want me to hold it.
CC: Leave it on, Casper. Leave that POWER on.
CC: 16, go OMNI Bravo. You can stow the high gain.
CMP: Hcuston, Casper.
CC: Go ahead, Casper.
CMP: Okay, after the film cycling, it normally calls SM/AC for our taking the POWER OFF, and you asked that we hold there. Do you wa_:t us to complete the rest of that powerdown, or cioyou waist us '_.c Just stop there a_d you're going to pick it up later or - what would you have in mind?
CC: We want to leave the HEATERS on for a while a_na the P£WER on. And we'11 pick it up again laver at abcut 58 hours, but we'11 call you. Tape B4/9
CMP: Okay. We'11 leave that in your care.
CMP: And, if you're ready, Houston, we'11 go ahead and stop PTC and go over to the UV attitude.
CMP: It's really a shame to kill a PTC that looks as nice as this one.
CC: Yeah, it does.
CC: Casper, you might try killing this roll at 208, which is your next roll attitude.
CMP: We' re with you.
CMP: Hey, Don.
CC: Go ahead, Ken.
CMP: Let me tell you, all our plans for peanut butter were - were correct. That's the ideal space food.
CC: Roger. You guys gonna do the Skylab thing tonight?
CC: 16, Houston. How do you read?
CC: Okay, we're Just doing a subcarrier voice check.
CDR: Your sc - your subcarrier has good voice - -
CDR: - - and Ken's right about that peanut butter sand- wich. It's like when we were aboard ship. We can get that peanut butter sandwich when we're in too much of a hurry to do something else - to do any- thing else, and it worksl
CC: Okay. We'11 pass that along.
CC: Casper, I've got that list of TVC relay set and reset conditions any time you're ready to copy.
CDR: I'm all pencil.
CC: Okay, the conditions that set the relay are: one, SPACEC_ CONTROL switch, CMC; OPTICS ZERO switch, OFF; and OPTICS MODE switch, MANUAL.
CDR: What to MANUAL?
CC: OPTICS MODE switchs MANUAL. And number two, another way to set it, is start a CMC TVC gimbel drive check in P20. Okay, the different ways that it can get reset are: number one, OPTICS ZERO switch, ZERO; number two, OPTICS ZERO switch, OFF and the OPTICS MODE switch to CMC; number three, SPACECRAi_ CONTROL - -
CDR: Hey, Don, would you stand by for a minute, please?
CDR: Let's get our UV. Give us a rough on that time and I'11 come back with you.
CDR: Houston, 16.
CDR: Okay. On your plat board, Pete, what do you show _ over now?
CC: Just about over Florida. Kind of down over the tip of - -
CC: i6, could you verify the position of the S-BAND AUX _J switch?
CDR: Yeah, it's still in SCI, waiting for you guys to tell us to finish up our film cycling checklist.
CC: Understand; it's in SCI?
CC: You can take that switch to off, but leave the _N CAMERA HEATERS and stuff on.
CMP: Okay. Well, since we - you don't want us to do _le exact checklist, we'11 - we'11 turn the SCI off and the DATA SYSTEM OFF, or do you want the _TA SYSTEM ON? You're not reading anything now, I don't think.
CC: Just leave the DATA SYSTEM ON. We've commanded it OFF on the ground.
CMP: Okay; DATA SYSTEM ON.
LMP: Houston, with the binocs out looking at the Earth, we can see Florida and the - the real blue water _ound the Bahamas. On around the Gulf of Mexico, looks like you might have some clouds near Houston _ld on down in New Mexico and the Great Lakes up in the North, where there's lots of clouds on up north of that.
CC: Roger. It is overcast here, Charlie.
LMP: ... And up in the polar icecap, there is a big broken line; it looks like a river or something running down off to the southwest. Wonder what that feature might be?
CC: Does it look like - Is it a feature on the ground or a feature in the clouds?
LMP: I - I thought the whole thing was Just snow and ice up there; maybe it is the clouds up in - it looked like to me it's - it's just up at the North Pole in the icecap area.
CC: Roger; understand. I don't - -
LMP: And it's been there since we laun - it's been there ever since we launched.
LMP: What it appeared to me to be was some places thawed out up there, but - and I was looking at water, but that might be the clouds actually.
CC: Okay. Tony is sitting here. I'11 see if he knows anything about it.
LMP: Okay, and that sto_ system that was out west of Alaska or thereabouts appears to be still there.
CMP: Okay, Don. I'm ready to copy the rest of those things that we sent, the TVC and the ...
CC: Okay, stand by just a minute. They're adding a couple of notes to it. Can
CMP: Sure thing. I read back the ... when I read back the ones that said it?
CMP: S'11 Just wait until you get it all; I was going to read back the one that sent it. Everybody's talking about those binoculars. We pulled those things out in Earth orbit as we were going over the States, and it's pretty impressive. It works out well in other places; it really does enhance things you can see.
CC: Roger. Okay, I've got this list on the TVC relay set/reset conditions again, if you want to go back into that now.
CMP: ()kay, all set.
CC: ()kay. The note they added was back up on the very first thing I gave you: the number 1, conditions to set the relay. Those conditions only work in certain programs or extended verbs, and those are ]?20, 22, 23, 24, 52, or VERB 41 NOUN 91.
CC: ()kay, and I believe we'd gotten down through numbers - -
CMP: Is it all options to P207
CC: Stand by a minute, Ken; we'11 get you an answer on that.
CMP: ()kay. Go ahead.
CC: ()kay. While we're waiting for them to decide whether it's all options or not, I believe we got down through number 2, reset conditions.
CMP: Okay. I copied the OPTICS to ZERO and the OPTICS ZERO to OFF when in CMC MODE control.
CC: Okay, and that was number 2. Number 3 is SPACE- CRAFT CONTROL switch, SCS. Number 4 is the, clockwise. Number 5 is VERB 37 ENTER, XX ENTER. :Number 6 is fresh start, VERB 36. Number 7 is vERB 34 or PRO; in the sighting mark routine, R53 display. Number 8 is AUTO ENTER RCS DAP at SPS cut-off plus 2.5 seconds in P40.
CMP: Okay. I didn't understand that one, Don.
CC: Okay. It's the - it's what happens to you im- mediately following the burns. The SPS cuts off, and then 2.5 seconds later in P40, the TV relay gets reset.
CC: Okay, and on the question of options, back up under number set condition 1, it's all options except number 2 in program 20.
CC: And that's all of them. and
CMP: Okay, I understand that this - this can hap- pen when you either set or reset the enable relay, is that correct?
CC: That's affirmative. They say it can happen going - any change of state on the TVC relay.
CMP: Okay. Can you tell me if it's the change of state of the relay, or just the command to change? For instance, if we already had it in some of these things like a VERB 37, any program resets it; but if it's already in the reset position, is that a condition that's likely to trigger one of these things, or is that one of the safe conditions?
CC: We - we think, Ken, it's the actual relay set/reset changing, not - not the command.
CMP: Don, let me read back what you read to me, and then I'11 want to mull that over for a while and see if I have any other questions.
CMP: Okay, and I think that, except the TV enable ...
CC: 16, you're fading out. 35/5 Tape
CC: 16, we are unable to read.
CMP: Okay, the things that will set the TVC enable are the SPACECRAFT CONTROL switch to CMC, the OPTIC ZERO to OFF, the OPTICS MODE to MANUAL, and the CMC TVC gimbal test in P40. These things occur only if I'm in P20 options 0, 1, 3, 4; P22, P23, P24, P52; and a VERB 41 NOUN 91.
CC: Okay, Ken. On that, the first three of those con- stitute one set of conditions; and the last one, that is, the start of CMC thrust vector control, is another condition that is sufficient by itself.
CMP: Okay, understand. The first three go with those programs, and the CMC thrust vector control is sufficient by itself.
CMP: Did you - I don't remember if we concluded whether that was when it - the CMC sets the gimbal in preparation for the burn or only during that test.
CC: I don't think that's - at least, I haven't been advised as to which set of conditions we're talking about there.
CMP: ()kay, now I'11 read you the reset ones.
CMP: It's OPTICS to ZERO, OPTICS ZERO to OFF when in CMC MODE, SPACECRAFT CONTROL to SCS, translation ]land controller to clockwise, and VERB 37 ENTER bo XX ENTER, a fresh start, a VERB 34 or PRO when in the sighting mark display, and the AUTO engine ,off or AUTO TVC reset after a burn in P40.
CMP: That's affirmative. There are eight different reset conditions; number 2 actually contains two separate items.
CMP: _hat's affirmative. Can you - -
CDR: Okay, Houston. We're starting the fuel cell purge and waste water dump.
CC: Roger; Copy.
CDR: Houston, Casper.
CDR: Okay, we've got a I_4/CM DELTA-P of 0.6. We'd like to go ahead and pressurize the cabin and then get ready for the LM entry.
CC: Okay, Casper. We copied, and you can go ahead.
LMP: Okay, Houston. The waste water dump is terminated at about 12 percent.
CC: Okay, Charlie. We copy that.
LMP: And, Tony, we're into the - equalizing the pressure CM/LM at this point.
CC: When you're working up there in the hatch area, I've got a test for you on that docking latch 10. When it's convenient, you might let me know when you can work on it.
CMP: Okay. Why don't we wait until the guys get into the LM, and then I'11 work on that while they're doing that. Sounds
CC: good.
CC: Apollo 16, Houston. OMNI Charlie.
CMP: Okay. 35/7 Tape
CMP: Okay, Houston. The Orion is on internal power at 53:28:34.
CC: Okay. We copy that, Ken.
LMP: Houston, 16. We're in Orion now. You've got the corem on; you should be getting high bit rate moment arily.
CC: Okay, and we'd like to go to the high gain.
LMP: Okay. You mean over on Casper's side? Okay.
CMP: Houston. Okay. We Just got some ... on Orion.
CC: Okay. We have LM data.
CC: Hey, Tony, ask TELMU about this 192 package lanyard. I looked at it yesterday, and I could see red and green. It's way out and looks okay to me. Is that copacetic?
CC: Okay. We'11 find out. And, Charlie, we've got some changes to your Lunar Surface Checklist. Whenever it's convenient for you, we'11 send them up to you.
CC: Okay. TELMU says that's okay; no problem.
LMP: That's fine, and what did you want to update? What checklist?
CC: Okay, your Lunar Surface Checklist and your LM Cue Card for EVA prep.
LMP: Okay, Tony. Z have the Cue Cards. Go ahead.
CC: Okay. On the Cue Cards, it'11 be all of them, EVA-l, -2, and -3; and I have one here for post- EVA. Okay. On the EVA-l, -2, and -3, after the sentence "Read PLSS 02 quantity to Houston," we'd like to add the line - -
LMP: Wait, wait a minute, wait; hold on.
LMP: Okay. I've got EVA-1 prep; now which coll_mn?
CC: Okay. It's on the left-hand column, right at the bottom line; it says "Read PLSS 02 quantity to Houston."
LMP: Okay. I've got "Read PLSS 02 quantity to Houston"; the next one is a note, "If corem is NO GO." Is that the one you want?
CC: Roger. We'd like to put a line in between "Read PLSS 02 quantity" and the note.
CC: Okay. "SQUELCH VHF B (LMP) - full decrease."
CC: Okay. And now on the EVA-2 prep Cue Card.
CC: Okay. This is the left-hand column and this is - at the bottom, and we'11 add the same line there, "SQUELCH VHF B (LMP) - full decrease."
CC: Okay. On the EVA-3 prep, the same as EVA-2 prep.
CC: Okay. Now this is on the post-EVA-3 Cue Card.
LMP: I got it. Go ahead.
CC: Okay. On the third column, one-third of the way down, it says, "AUDIO circuit breaker - CLOSE."
CC: Okay. We'd like to add a line right after that. "SQUELCH VHF B (_) - noise threshold, plus l-l/2."
CC: Okay. The point 07 all of this is to increase the range of PLSS to I_4, in case you're having a crew failure.
LMP: What else you got?
CC: Okay. It's the same sort of changes to your Lunar Surface Checklist, and I'11 read them to you when you're ready.
LMP: Okay, Tony. We never use that checklist in this time frame. We'11 copy it in, in a little bit, okay?
LMP: Okay. IYm a iitt_le conf_ed about your termi- nology, I guess. It says "SQUELCH VHF B (I34P) - full decrease." We only got one VHF B to squelch.
CC: Roger; I understand that. The "LMP" was just a cue that you're the only one on the comm at the time, so you'11 be the one to - to have to listen and get it down.
CC: Okay. When you get a chance there, we would like you to read the ED VOLTAGE, both A and B.
UNKNOWN: Exactly the same thing as yesterday, 37 volts, Tony, both of them.
CC: Okay. Good show, and verify OFF.
CC: Okay, Apollo 16. I guess that's all they need in the lunar module. At your convenience, you can power down. And could you read that tunnel index as you go through, the docking index?
LMP: Strange to say, it hasn't changed any.
LMP: It's still minus 3-1/2.
LMP: You going to tell me something about this latch 10, too?
LMP: Do you want us to do that now?
CC: Yeah, it'd be a good time, if you're ready.
LMP: I'm sitting here looking at it.
CC: Okay. On that docking latch number 10, depress the yellow auxiliary release button, noting that the button will depress and whether it stays snapped in after being depressed. Now, the in- terest here is if the button will not depress, the latch mechanism is either stuck or broken. If the button stays snapped in, this indicates - or probably indicates that the latch was only partially cocked at launch - -
LMP: ... It's in - -
CC: - - and stayed in.
LMP: It's in, and it stayed in.
CC: Okay. Then, the indication there is that it was only partially cocked at launch.
LMP: Well, do you want me to recock it and fire it? 35/11 Tape
CC: No, they had just as soon you leave it the way it is, because if it's broken, you may not be able to - to get it off again, and then that would foul up the undocking.
LMP: Sounds like a reasonable plan. Okay. I've got the aux release button pushed in, and it stayed there, and the rest of it's gonna be left as is.
CC: Okay. Good show. That's it.
LMP: Okay, Tony. We're going to get our suits on.
CMP: And, Houston, we brought LM power back to the CSM at 53:49.
CC: Okay, we copy that. And Ken, we have a correction to that TVC relay set condition.
CC: ()kay, on the set in program P20, we read up previously that it wouldn't set in option 2. We've got a correction to that. It sets only in op- tions 0 and 4. Understand;
UNKNOWN: it sets in only options 0 and 4.
CMP: Tony, I'm gonna try to get some pictures of se- lected portions of the suit donning on 16 millimeter. And I Just checked here on the spotmeter, and it looks like the CIN is going to be marginal for this, and I'm looking at the - the BW that's available. And I wonder if anyone would object if I put it on magazine Hotel Hotel.
CC: Okay, I'11 check on that.
CC: And, Ken, Houston.
CC: When you're ready for that Jet monitor program, we're ready to load it.
CMP: Okay; I - I'm in FOO, and I'11 give you ACCEPT.
CC: Okay, and I guess you'11 have to go to P20 for us to load it.
CMP: Okay, you want me to be in P20 first.
CMP: Well, that was almost right.
CMP: You're in ACCEPT P20.
CC: Okay. We've got an answer here on this Hotel Hotel. You have about 10 percent available to use now if you like, and if you use the spotmeter in- side, you'11 have to set it for an ASA of 4000.
CMP: That's affirmative, thank you. I can use 10 percent.
CC: That's right. VOICE
CC: Okay. We've got your program loaded. You can press on with the NOUN 26.
CMP: You're gonna have to stand by a minute.
CMP: Okay, Tony. What did you want? NOUN 26 loaded up? NOUN
CC: Right. You can go ahead and call your 26.
CMP: Okay. I was - We're in the LM trying to get some pictures of their suit zipping up.
CC: Roger. I'11 bet that's a real hassle.
CMP: Yeah, it is.
CMP: Okay. Tony, does that - does that look right for a NOUN 26?
CC: Yeah, that looks right.
CMP: Thank you. The thing that I was questioning was the R36 not sliding over to the end.
CC: Okay. If you'11 call up VERB 05 26, it'11 slide over. Right now you're not reading the third register.
CMP: Thank you. Okay. You want me to do a VERB 317
CC: Okay, Ken. It's running.
CMP: Okay, and are we gonna check out the alarm function, or are we Just gonna check out the loading capability?
CC: I think they've got something in mind for alarm function later, but nothing right now.
CMP: Okay, thank you. I'm gonna go back over and see if I can get some pictures from the LM then.
CC: I guess they'd like an E-MOD now.
CMP: Anything else before I go over to the LM?
CC: Everybody is shaking their head; I guess it's okay. About the time you get to the hatch, we'11 think of something.
CMP: And, Tony, we used only 5 percent on - it went from 10 to 15 percent on magazine Fl{.
CC: Okay. We copy that. And when you get back in the command module there, we'd like for you to go to BLOCK on the CM.
CMP: Okay. I'm BLOCK, and Charlie's coming up on the comm, and I'm going to don my suit.
LMP: Houston, 16. How do you read?
CC: You sound good, Charlie.
LMP: Okay. We're back in the LM - I mean, correction - back in the command module, and Ken's closing out putting the probe in right now.
CC: Okay. Sounds good. And there's no hurry on this, but when Ken gets all comfortable, we've got that Jet monitor test.
CC: Okay. Ken's busy. We'11 give you a call.
LMP: 16 - Houston, 16.
LMP: Okay. Tony, you read?
CC: Sure do. Sounds - sounds good.
LMP: Okay. During the - the - suit donning went okay - in fact, pretty easy until we got to the part of zip - John and I zipping up. And in my suit in the LM, zipping up, John had an extremely difficult time getting the - the restraint zipper closed across the small of my back. It was extremely tight; the only way he was able to do it, was to zip the restraint - the restraint zipper in the front first, so that the zipper would line up a little bit better, and then he got the back part closed. Now the only thing that worries me is that the suit, to me, felt like I'd grown an inch or two, and it was tight in the legs, and I didn't have the LCG on. And with the LCG and everything else, it might have built up where it would have been really bad, and we were wondering if it might be possible to - if you guys would let us let the legs out on this suit maybe a half an inch to an inch. Over.
CC: Okay. We'11 talk about that. Go ahead.
LMP: Okay. I'm not even sure that would help, but it felt - it feels like it would to me.
CC: Charlie, I guess that gives us a data point - -
LMP: Tony, there was no trouble at all with the - with the pressure sealing zipper or the pressure seal. It was Just the - the restraint. It was just in that one place in the small of my back.
CC: Okay. We copy that. I guess that gives us a data point. You grow in zero g.
LMP: That's what it feels like - that I stretched out an inch or so.
CC: You better watch that; you're pretty close to your 6 feet.
LMP: Too late now.
LMP: Okay. Tony, the hatch is back in.
CMP: Houston, are you still there?
CC: Oh, yeah, Ken, we're still here. How are you doing?
CMP: Just fine. We got the tunnel closed out, and I'm ready to copy your next procedure.
CC: Okay, stand by 1.
CC: Okay. We'd like you to disable all the B/D roll jets, and you're cycling against the stops about once every 10 minutes, and so expect that you'11 get your ISS light some time in there, and when you get it, we don't - you can turn back on the jets; we'd just like to look at it a while.
CMP: Okay. How about if I Just go FREE?
CC: Okay. I guess the FREE kills the jet monitor.
CC: Ken, Just to verify that, if you go FREE - CMC FREE - the program doesn't monitor; if you go back to AUTO, it does. You don't have to put the pro- gram back in.
CMP: Roger. I understand that. I guess I Just wasn't thinking then. What I - what I did, Tony, was, rather than leave - leave two axes in control and one of them free, I put all the MANUAL ATTITUDE switches to ACCEL COMMAND, and we're still in CMC MODE, AUTO.
CC: Roger. We saw that down here. It looks good.
CMP: Okay. You can - you know, you can watch it all day long - whatever you want there.
CC: Okay. We'11 just watch.
CMP: Sure enough; there it is.
CC: Okay. Seems to work.
CMP: And, sure enough, Just like advertised, there's no status lights on - DSKY warning panel. And I'm gonna go ahead - if it's okay with you, I'11 turn off the channel 11, bit 16.
CMP: While we're still outside the dead band, that's not going to work unless I cycle it FREE and back to recenter the dead band. You folks want to watch it outside the dead band for a while?
CC: That's okay. I guess we're happy with it, and we'd like to go ahead and terminate it - terminate the - -
CC: And, Ken, I guess you can go on to PTC at your convenience.
CMP: Okay. I was Just getting ready to ask you about that. Thank you.
CMP: Do you folks have me to continue using B/D roll?
CC: Roger. B/D roll.
CC: Okay, Apollo 16. OMNI Charlie.
CC: Okay, On your tight suit, there, we were wondering if you could say a few words about how it felt during launch day.
LMP: Well, it was a little - little tight launch day. We'd - you know, fitted it pressurized, Tony, and it felt okay then. Launch day, I thought the legs were a little tight but not much.
LMP: Once we get it zipped, Tony, it feels a little tight, but pressurized it's okay. It's Just the zipping part that's worrying us.
CC: Well, everybody is thinking about it, and we'11 come back with an answer on it later. Right now I think the general feeling is that most people'd Just as soon you not tamper with it unless you feel very strong about it.
LMP: Well, that's our opinion, too. Our next solution, or our next question is - is maybe breaking out with the LCG and putting all the gear on and seeing how it goes with all of the gear. Our question there is, if we break into one of the LCGs right now, will it affect - get any gas in the tubes; would it affect the startup on the PLSS?
CC: Okay, we'11 work that one.
CC: Okay, Charlie, we've looked at that LCG problem and you're right. If you break it out early, we'11 probably get gas in there and never be able to get it out, and it will affect your cooling.
LMP: Okay. John and I were going to break into those LCGs and sleep in them the night prior to PDI. What do you think about that idea, then?
CC: Okay; they're over there scratching their head again.
CC: Okay; your rates are low enough for the PTC.
CC: Okay, we'd like your onboard reading of the H2 tank 1 pressure.
CMP: 270, Houston.
CC: Okay_ Ken. That's - that transducer problem, probably. They've had that history of problems with that transducer. Prelaunch.
CMP: Yeah, we remember that.
CMP: It was glitching launch day, but it looks like now it's sort of stabilized.
CC: Okay. We'd like you to go to OMNI Bravo, and stow the high gain. And we'11 handle the switching.
CDR: Okay. You have OMNI Bravo.
CMP: Okay; we're getting reader to go to work on this Skylab food preparation bit, and we're trying to check out some camera settings and all. We've got 16-millimeter magazine allocated for this with CIN film in it, and by checking the most light that I can get on most objects, it looks like we'11 be running with the lens wide open aperture at about 1/60 of a second. And I guess I'd like to know if you want to do that, or if you'd like to use a higher ASA and process the film differently.
CC: Okay; we'11 talk about that.
CMP: Tony, I was just looking here, and if we go to the 18-millimeter lens, we can open it up to a - to 1/250. a T-1. And that gets our speed up to about It looks like a lot better way to operate.
CC: Ken, the comm's pretty bad right now. We're having a hard time getting that. We understood that the light meter indicates that the film that was indicated to use here probably isn't going to be fast enough, and you're asking to use a faster film. But we didn't und - get there, how severe the problem was.
CC: GO ahead, Ken. The comm's still pretty bad, though.
LMP: Okay, we were going to get started on the bistatic radar frequency check, if you're ready.
CC: Okay, Charlie, I guess we'd like for you to hold off for a minute on that VHF test.
CC: Ken, Houston. The comm may be a little better now, if you'd go through the problem again.
CMP: Okay, Tony. It looks like it's not as bright in here as we'd like to be able to get it, and we'11 try - try timing it with some of the window shades up to see if we can get it a little brighter. With the cabin floodlights, it looks like 1/60 of a sec- ond is about the max I can get off of the 10-millimeter lens. And I was going to suggest either going to the 18, which will give me a little faster shutter speed because it's got a wider aperture, or we'11 take a little less photography and Just do it when the Sun gives us good illumina- tion through one of the windows.
CC: Okay, we copy that. We'11 work it.
CMP: I think we can get more uniform photography if we did it with the w{ndow shades up and with all our lights in one fixed position. That way, we'11 get a lot more photography done rather than having to wait. I really don't think you can afford to wait until the Sun's in Just the right place to do your eating.
LMP: Okay, Tony, we're going to restow my suit, if you guys don't want us to touch it.
CC: Right, we're not gonna worry about it tonight. We'11 have some sort of an answer tomorrow. So you go ahead and stow the suit.
LMP: Okay. And our H 2 tank pressure just went back - dropped back down to 240.
CC: Okay. We saw that.
LMP: Hup! It's back up to 270.
CC: Okay. After much debate, I guess we can have you go ahead and use the 18 millimeter.
CC: All right. If you're not already done with it. 37/5 Tape
CMP: I really think we'11 get the - We're - weTre stowing one of our passengers here back in his suit bag.
CC: (Laughter) Ail right.
CC: Okay, I - We're - -
CMP: We're having - You'd be surprised just how long those kind of things take. You know, you start on something like that, and then it almost fits and you refold it, and it almost fits again, and it's only because you know it fits that you keep trying with it. Because you sure couldn't prove it by us.
CC: Understand. It doesn't sound like too much fun. We'd like to reverse ourselves - -
CMP: No, I didn't say that.
CC: Right. We'd like to reverse ourselves on some- thing I sent up awhile ago. It doesn't seem to be any problem with breaking out the LCGs early. They were thinking about a Skylab situation. So that won't be a constraint. As far as whether we want you to try it tomorrow, we'11 work that and send it up tomorrow. But there'11 be a - -
CMP: Okay, I guess the only thing on that is that we've got a busy day coming, and these things just really take a long time by the time you put on the suit, and then you play with it and then if we have some adjustments to do, too, why, it's going to take a block of time.
CC: Right. Understand.
CMP: So the sooner the better, I guess, which I know you know already.
CC: Roger. But I particularly wanted to let you know there was no problem with sleeping in it that night before.
CMP: That's a big help. Thank you.
CDR: Yeah, I didn't think there was. That's what they did on Apollo 10.
CC: Remember Apollo 12, guys, before you do too much with that suit.
CDR: Of course, the problem is going to be if we can't get it on at all. That's going to be a real problem.
CC: Okay. We'd like to start with the VHF test when you're ready.
CDR: Okay. Give us a couple of minutes here.
LMP: Okay, Tony. We have - VHF ANTENNA's on LEFT, B is in DUPLEX, and the RANGING is on.
CC: And we're getting the VHF?
LMP: Roger. 38/1 Tape
CDR: Go ahead, Tony.
CC: Okay, We're gonna drop your S-band up-link for a little while. We'11 be back in about 10 minutes.
UNKNOWN: Go ahead, Tony.
CC: Okay, we're back early. We'd like you to go ahead and terminate the VHF, and, while you're over that way, we'd like you to switch the HIGH GAIN to WIDE BEAM.
CMP: Roger, HIGH GAIN going to WIDE, and terminate the VHF.
CMP: Okay. The VHF is terminated and you got WIDE on the HIGH GAIN.
CMP: We're trying to work on the presleep checklist, and this little part about the OPTICS to ZERO and then the - OPTICS POWER OFF. Will any of that do these things we don't want to do with our TVC en- able? How about Just leaving it all like it is?
CC: Okay; we're working on it.
CMP: Okay; Houston, you ready for the onboard read-out?
CC: Yep. Go ahead.
CC: Go ahead, Apollo 16. We're ready to take the read-out.
CC: Okay. I guess we had a - a weak period there. Yes, we're ready for your read-out.
CMP: Okay, BATTERY C is 36.7. PYRO BATTERIES A, 37; PYRO BATTERY B, 37; RCS A, 87; B, 90; C, 92; and D, 96. We're on MAIN A, 29 volts.
CMP: And you'11 be happy to know we completed the Skylab Food Evaluation with very few casualties.
CC: (Laughter) Congratulations. And
CMP: no loss of life.
CMP: However, it took a lot longer than we allowed for it.
CC: And, Apollo 16, I guess it's okay to go to that OPTICS ZERO in ZERO, which you are, and G&N POWER OPTICS, OFF.
CMP: Okay. Thank you now.
CC: We aim to please.
CDR: Okay. Houston, are you ready for the E-memory dump? Over. Tape38/3
CC: Okay, I guess we would Just like you to skip the E-MOD.
CC: And, Apollo 16; Houston.
CDR: Houston, you ready for a good old E-memory dump?
CC: Okay, John; do you copy us now?
CDR: Yep, finally.
CC: Okay, I think we'd like you to just skip that E-MOD tonight. We do have a couple of changes to panel 230 when you get down that way.
CDR: Oh yeah; we plumb forgot about that. Okay, go ahead.
CC: Okay. We'd like to - PAN CAMERA SELF TEST, OFF.
LMP: That's OFF.
CC: MAPPING CAMERA, OFF.
CC: And then down there below, the SERVICE MODULE/AC POWER, OFF.
LMP: Okay, and that's OFF.
CC: Okay. That's all we've got.
CMP: ..., 16. Can I talk to somebody about chlorine injection?
CC: Okay. What's the problem?
CMP: I'm not sure what the first problem is; I c_n give you some symptoms. I put the chlorine in, and when I screwed down on it, it seemed like it was just a little bit stiffer to screw down on than they had been before. But it wasn't obvious that it was that much different; because they're always a little tight. And when I went to take it off, I got a whole lot of water bubbling out from around the - the port. And I couldn't tell where it came from. Seemed like it - the first thing I thought of was the same thing that happened to 15 with the nut backing off. And when I got it out, it looked like the - the bubbling seemed to stop fairly quickly, and then I - the first thing I tried to do was to tighten the collar of the adapter down tight, and right now I still have the chlorine injector adap - needle adapter still on the chlorine port. And I tight eped it down by hand, and it seems like it's holding it. The chlorine ampoule itself was broken when we took it out of the in- Jector drum. We got all of that mopped up, I wanted to get some buffer in with it - you know, the system, because it looked to me like some of the chlorine had gone in. So I started to try to put some buffer in, and it looked like it might of leaked a little bit. And then I went to take it out - out of the - take the injector out of the adapter, and when I did, it looks llke it squirts fluid from two holes that are 180 apart from each other on the adapter. And I guess I don't know what those two holes are for. It looks like maybe the needle is not going in, but I'm not sure what it is, now. Do you have someone that might know how to put it together?
CC: Roger; we'11 talk about that. I know all about those two holes in that adapter.
CMP: Okay, these are the two on the outside now.
CC: Roger. I know exactly which ones you're talking about.
CC: Okays, when you put that buffer in, would you verify that you left the nut all the way screwed down for the 10 minutes and that's the period when the water was coming out the two holes.
CMP: No, the water comes out of those holes - Let's see now. I put the buffer in, I put it into the injector and then I put the injector into the adapter, and when I went to screw down on the in- Jector, it looked like it was starting to seep fluid around the injector again. So I stopped, and it didn't look like it was doing any more, and I thought I would look and see. By this time, I was getting suspicious that maybe the needle wasn't open. So I decided to take the injector off of the needle adapter. I took it off, and everything looked okay. And it was when I went to put it back on, when I depressed the needle to - when you push the injector onto the adapter - that's when it looked like it squirted out of these two holes on the side and I did that several times and it repeated itself.
CC: Okay, we copy that. Was the nut snugly against the ampoule when you tried to put it back on? If you backed off on the nut, it may have allowed the - it may have allowed the ampoule to slide back up in the compartment there and then you were just opening up the needle.
CMP: Well, I - I thought it was down snug. If it wasn't snug, would have - would it push water out of those two side ports?
CC: Yes, it sure would. I had that happen in the pre- chlorination there on the pad before launch. I had backed off on the nut and, instead of just filling up that ampoule, the water pushed the ampoule off the needle and then, once it's done that, the water just goes back around and comes out those two holes.
CMP: Well, I can't say that didn't happen. The first problem occurred with the chlorine injection.
CC: Right, I didn'_ see that on the pad.
CMP: Yep. My first problem was when I went to put the chlorine ampoule in. And at some point in there when I went to take it out, I tried to get it in and it didn't look right. When I went to take it out, it started bubbling all over, and I couldn't tell where it was coming from then. And whether it came from those two holes or not, that's quite possible. I'm not sure. When I looked at the ampoule itself, after I opened up the injector, you could see that the - the bottom lug had broken, the little sliding plug in there.
CC: Right. Once that thing isn't watertight anymore, you'11 get leakage into that container and that'11 all come out those holes.
CMP: Okay. Then perhaps the only problem was the - was the one with the first ampoule breaking.
CC: Ail right, we'11 try to get you a procedure here and go back and try that buffer - -
CC: - - again.
CC: I was going to say we'11 try to get you to agree on a procedure here and then go back and try the buffer again.
CMP: Ok_v. I guess - yeah, we could do that.
CC: Okay. Hold off on that. We'11 - we'11 get a procedure.
CMP: Okay. Is that something you want to do tonight or do it tomorrow?
CC: You want that buffer in there tonight, don't you?
CMP: I don't know. It's a - I - I can't vouch for how much chlorine went in. Perhaps - very little. It's up to the - the guys who have plumbing re- sponsibilities. I - I Just can't tell you how much chlorine may have gotten in.
CC: Okay, Ken. I - I guess we'd like you to take that buffer ampoule again and screw the nut down on it so that you think it's - it's good - good and snug in there, and then put it on the adapter and see if you can - see if it'11 take the buffer. Before you - you close it all up again, you might look at the ampoule to make sure it hasn't cracked.
CC: Did you get that about going ahead with the buffer?
CMP: No, I didn't.
CC: Oh, okay; we probably had some bad coma there. We'd like you to take a look at that buffer ampoule and make sure it isn't cracked and, if not, then to go ahead and put it in that little container and screw that nut so you feel it's good and snug and then go ahead and see if it will take the buffer.
CMP: Okay. How about if I Just take a brand new one? Don't we have a couple spares?
CC: Okay. Yeah, they agree. Why don't you take a brand new one.
CMP: Okay. And while I'm doing that, I'm Just looking over the gages, and I know our onboard gaging isn't the greatest thing in RCS. Could you tell me how we stand on RCS?
CC: Okay. I'11 get that.
CC: And, Ken, at 54 hours, you were 2 percent ahead of your RCS budget - that's 25 pounds to the good.
CC: Uh-huh.
CMP: ... I guess we have a low bias in quad A and Just kind of looks bad.
CC: Okay. We - our bias is that you're reading 2 per- cent low on that.
CMP: Okay. Tony, I've got the buffer in, and I noticed just a slight little spit when I put it in. That's probably residual. So I'11 wait 10 minutes and then suck it out.
CDR: Okay, Houston. The 02 FLOW HIGH and the cabin is pumped up to 5.7.
CC: Okay. We copy that, John.
CMP: Okay, Tony, got that buffer in and out, and all looks normal now.
CMP: Okay. Looks like we've got the buffer in and water back out, and everything looks normal now.
CC: Good show. If - if you didn't get much chlorine in the buffer, won't hurt anything, but it would have hurt the other way if you'd put the chlorine in without adding the buffer, so - either way, we're in good shape now.
CMP: Okay. Then I guess our only problem then was just the fact that I probably broke that first chlorine ampoule some way.
CMP: Okay, Tony. I guess I'm ready to give you a film status report.
CMP: Okay. On magazine Victor Victor, we're on frame 21; magazine Hotel Hotel, frame 85; magazine Oscar Oscar, frame 34; November November is also 34; Juliet Juliet is 50 percent.
CC: Was that 50 percent?
CMP: That's 50 percent. That's affirmative.
CC: Okay. We copied all those.
CMP: Okay, I guess we're about ready to sign off. Do you folks have any last words or any questions?
CDR: Houston, we're about ready to go to sleep. You got any questions or anything you want to tell us before we shut down the corem system?
CC: Okay. We're running around here to make sure there's nothing. I just read through your last system report that came around here, and every- thing looks nominal. Everything really looks great. Okay, I guess there's - -
CDR: - - looks good to us, too.
CC: Good show. And I guess there's nothing else down here. Would you like me to hum to you?
CDR: Tony, even that won't keep me awake.
CC: (Laughter) Oh, yeah, it would. I'11 see y'all on the Moon. I've got a day off tomorrow.
CDR: Sounds good. See you tomorrow.
CDR: Good night. Tapes 40-42/1 REST PERIOD - NO COMMUNICATIONS Tape43/1
CDR: Morning, Houston. How do you read? Over.
CC: Good morning, 16. How are you this morning?
CDR: Pretty good there. 44/1 Tape
LMP: Okay, Houston. The LM/CM DELTA-P is about 1. And, the cabin pressure being what it is, I guess that means that we really don't have any leakage up there much.
CC: Roger. Copy 1 psi.
LMP: Psid, Hank.
CC: Stand corrected.
CMP: Houston, how would you like to have a status report?
CC: Okay, we're waiting. Go ahead.
CMP: You're all 85-foot dishes, right? Ears, I mean.
CMP: Ail right, Henry. We'11 start here on A section. 1/2, All 22041; Alfa 3, 6 and outstanding; Alfa 4, none; Alfa 5, 27 and 5; Alfa 6, 7, 10, and 5.

CC: Okay, was Charlie 6 just two entries, 5 and 7?
CMP: That's affirm. Okay, make that 5, 5, and 7.
CMP: And off the gourmet sheet - -
CC: Stand by, Ken. We're coming up on an antenna switch and we'11 lose comm for a few minutes.
CC: Okay. We're so far - You're so far out now that when we get close to antenna switching_ we lose comm there for about a minute, a minute and a half. We're ready to copy the menu now; food.
CDR: Okay, out menu reporter is stealing a cup of coffee. He'11 be with you in a second.
CC: Roger. Amd the surgeon compliments the reporter on the way he reads the report down.
CDR: Yeah, when you've got a college education, you learn to read, and boy anything can happen after that.
CMP: Okay, Henry. The happy gourmet says that for the commander - Well, we'11 start with meal A. And, stand by 1.
