CDR-EVA: You did, huh?
LMP-EVA: Yes. Hold still, and let me - Okay, Tony. The roll - Hit the thing - the roll is 4 degrees left. That was a great estimate on John's part. And the pitch scale is falling off, but the needle is in the center.
CDR-EVA: I'd say it's about - from my ... gradients looking at the LCRU, I'd say it's about 3 degrees pitched down, 4 degrees pitched down.
LMP-EVA: Oh, wait a minute. Do you want me to get the ...
CC: And while you're playing around the LRV there, A55° how about the VOLT switched to AMP.
LMP-EVA: 0 - Okay, I did that. It's all - they're low.
CDR-EVA: *** yours.
CDR-EVA: Okay. We aren't pointed at it, Charlie. It's too hard to do this way. We have to use the - we can go at it from right here, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: There's that beauty.
CC: Hey, we've got a picture.
LMP-EVA: Hey, Tony. That thing's a piece - _kaY, that thing's a piece of cake for aligning it at 270.
CC: Okay, that's good news.
LMP-EVA: Okay, starting with the 500. I'm going to INTEBMEDIATE - I mean, the MIN position on the cooling.
UNKNOWN: Hey, ...
LMP-EVA: Tony, you can see the rays of South Ray come out across the landscape, albedowise. And it's . really predominant. They cross right _ across, go right up Survey, and it's definitely a ray pattern that we were crossing. Okay, 500 of Stubby, 15 and - That's not worth 15 pictures, Tony.
CC: And, John, before you start sampling - -
LMP-EVA: Can't see much.
CC: - - could you give us a general impression of the rock types?
CDR-EVA: Man, it looks to me like this rock pile that we're seeing in there is about the same type of rock. I - As you can see, they're angular. Let me go over there and look at this big one. I think they're right friable. They're very - they-have a very shocked appearance. There's - there's a boulder we could turn over, Charlie.
UNKNOWN: That's what I was saying.
CDR-EVA: It's a big one. Right behind us. The trouble is, I don't want to push it into the Rover.
UNKNOWN: Okay, Tony. I'm taking some 500 of South Ray. I can see into the rim on the inner wall on the south side. And the characteristics of the thing; it's got black streaks and white streaks coming out of the wall right over the rim, which - which says to me, there's two types of rocks down there.
CDR-EVA: That's right, Charlie. That's what it says. And that's why the dark - that's why your dark streaks show up on your photograph. It's not - it's not that that thing wasn't throwing out blocks in every which direction. That dark streak right down through the middle of your photo - your photograph is probably - it looks as dark as in the area, and it's probably dark material from South Ray.
UNKNOWN: The - Tony, Stubby is a very subdued old crater. It's not worth 15 pictures really. It's not much to it.
CC: Okay, copy that - -
LMP-EVA: No outcrop at all. I see some secondaries in - in the inner flank.
CDR-EVA: It doesn't look much different than the subdued craters that we've Just come across.
LMP-EVA: I've Just got to get a picture with the 500 of the old Orion sitting out there.
CDR-EVA: Just spectacular.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'm going to take a couple of North Ray, Tony.
CDR-EVA: Most of these rocks have a whitish cast to them, Houston, but -
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, I'm up to frame count 90 on magazine Lima.
LMP-EVA: Wow! What a place. What a view, isn't it, John?
CDR-EVA: It's absolutely unreal.
LMP-EVA: You should really come up, Tony. It's Just spectacular. I - Gosh, I have never seen - all I can say is spectacular, and I know y'all are sick of that word, but my vocabulary is so limited.
CC: We're darn near speechless down here - -
LMP-EVA: Okay, we got the description; it's - Can you guys see how really spectacular the view is?
CC: We sure can.
LMP-EVA: Hey, yeah. Where's the big eye? There it comes.
CC: We're looking at you.
LMP-EVA: Look upslope, Tony. Oks_, look on upslope, and you see all this rock field that we're in here. Okay. Any way I put the rake, the rake's coming next, John.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I was just going to get this one sample.
LMP-EVA: Okay, go ahead. Then we need a pan. That's after penetrations, and then I've got to get the - Guess what's coming up? I can almost pick this thing off the ground. That thing doesn't look like it's too stable.
LMP-EVA: This back wheel's off the ground. The Rover. The right rear wheel is off the ground. I think we need to dust the TV lens. It's pretty dusty.
CC: Yeah, Charlie. If you get a chance, we would like it dusted.
LMP-EVA: I can get the lens brush. Yeah, it looks really dusty, Tony. Just a minute.
CC: Okay. These blocks we see lying around the surface, are most of them from South Ray?
CDR-EVA: ##* don't know.
LMP-EVA: Boy, I'11 tell you, Tony. Up these - I Just came up about a 20-degree slope, and it is really loosely compacted here. Stand by. I'm going to swing the big eye around. I can't dust unless I do that.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. I've got a hard rock. I think it's glass coated, but it's so dust covered I 39_. can't tell, and it's going in bag
CC: Okay, 39_.
LMP-EVA: The block population here - Okay, you're all dusted - -
CC: Thank you much, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: - - Houston. The block population here in this immediate area is 60 to 70 percent, with the biggest one being right in our little crater here that's a meter or so. They're all very angular and - but the majority - prime size - the majority of them are less than, oh, less than 30 centimeters or so, though there's a good proportion of 50 - -
CDR-EVA: Let me put this in your bag, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Okay, coming around. Got to get the rake. Most of them are dust covered, Tony. Well, not most of them; in fact, most of them are not dust covered. The one that I'm just kicking - the ones around I kicked up.
CDR-EVA: Got the rake?
LMP-EVA: Yeah, I got it.
CDR-EVA: Shovel.
CDR-EVA: No, we don't need the shovel. You want to use that thing, or do you want me to use the rake?
LMP-EVA: I'11 - Let me rake this time and then I'11 get on with the penetrometer, okay?
LMP-EVA: Okay, you want to - Where do you want to go? There's a place right up here, John, that looks like it's a good - -
CDR-EVA: Okay, let's not go too far.
LMP-EVA: I'm not. It's pretty steep. If you jackrabbit up it, it's pretty easy to do. There's a place right here that's got a lot of good ones.
CDR-EVA: You look great, babe.
LMP-EVA: Let me get up-Sun. An il-footer.
UNKNOWN: got it. And let me get a locator from up here, too. That's going to be in focus. I'11 just - Okay, I'm gonna change this, just to - Okay, Tony. Underneath this regolith up here, we've still got the same deal. Top centimeter or so is - -'
CDR-EVA: Now we rake.
LMP-EVA: I'm sorry.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Most of these rocks were white clasts.
LMP-EVA: Glass coated, too - a little - -
CDR-EVA: Glass coated.
LMP-EVA: - - on some of them.
CDR-EVA: There's 12 or 13 in that first scoop, and there's - they're mostly white clast rocks.
LMP-EVA: Here comes one that's got a lot of glass on it, John.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, that ought to be enough.
CC: Okay, we copy that. You think you're getting breccias there, then?
CDR-EVA: Okay. No, we're not sure because they're dust coated too, and there's glass - there's glass on them. They could be Just shocked rock.
CC: Yeah, okay.
CDR-EVA: Okay, that's going into bag 395.
LMP-EVA: I don't get the impression - -
CC: Okay, 335 [sic].
LMP-EVA: - - they're breccias, myself. 94/41 Tape
UNKNOWN: I don't either. But it's just an impression.
LMP-EVA: Man. Boy, oh, boy. I can't believe this. 0kayj you want to get an AFTER of that', John? I'11 get a shovelful.
CC: And, John, we'd like to consider your going to INTERMEDIATE cooling.
C: )R-EVA Oh, okay. We'11 do it.
UNKNOWN: We don't need INTERMEDIATE - INTERMEDIATE. You need - at least, I - I'm comfortable Just out of MIN. Let's see, we need a - some more of that, don't we?
UNKNOWN: Want to get that kilo. Okay.
UNKNOWN: Wow - -
LMP-EVA: ... some of that white stuff in the bottom.
UNKNOWN: Yeah. Look at that - -
LMP-EVA: That's what I was going to say. Tony, underneath this top gray layer, it's white again up here, Just like on the Cayley.
UNKNOWN: That a - that's a kilo, isn't it?
UNKNOWN: Yeah, that's okay - -
UNKNOWN: ... okay, rake. Okay. Your old rake - your old rake is finished. Wowee.
UNKNOWN: And it's in bag 396.
UNKNOWN: Okay, 396.
UNKNOWN: Oh, I'm sorry, John. I ran off and left you.
UNKNOWN: Now, you want me to throw - throw it in my bag.
CDR-EVA: Weren't we supposed to leave core tubes in there?
LMP-EVA: No, you've got - no, you've got core tubes. Let me carry the rocks. I'11 have an easier time getting the core tubes out if your bag is empty.
LMP-EVA: Look at that view over there. Look at that.
CDR-EVA: You've got two core tubes too, Charlie. Did you mean to have two of them?
CC: Hey, Charlie. We're having a hard time getting - -
LMP-EVA: No, ... own bag ... Okay.
CC: - - a perspective on that crater. Could you give us the dimensions, please?
LMP-EVA: Where we're standing?
LMP-EVA: What do you think, lO meters, John?
CDR-EVA: Yeah. It's an old 10-meter crater; it's really an old one. This - these other rocks around here might have been caused by this - Matter of fact, this might of - No, I don't think so. I think these rocks were laid in here when South Ray came in.
CDR-EVA: Sampling.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. On the penetrometer, it's benched. We'11 call this crater the bench if you want to, and I'11 get one uphill, one downhill, and two in the bottom of the crater. How does that sound?
CC: Okay, that sounds good to us.
LMP-EVA: Okay, and I'11 start with a 0.5.
LMP-EVA: John, I'm glad we got those two core tubes. I think the other two fell off back at the LM.
LMP-EVA: I don't think I ever put those back in your bag. Did I? Well, let's see; we got plenty.
CDR-EVA: I'm looking at a rock here, Houston, that is a very angular rock, and it has white clasts with a - with a breccia, or it has a brecciated appearance. I'11 take a picture of it and sample it for you.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'm going to take my camera off to do this. Boy, this is so neat. Man, am I having a good time.
CC: Charlle, we are, too. And while you are bouncing around there, you might keep an eye out for a nearby crater that looks like it may have pulled up some local material.
LMP-EVA: Now, we can't walk very far, Tony.
LMP-EVA: Oh, rats.
LMP-EVA: I had the 0.5 cone in here, and when ± pulled it' I pulled it out, and it came out like it was supposed to. And then I started moving the thing down and it fell off.
LMP-EVA: *** what to do about that.
LMP-EVA: John, don't - don't walk right over here. That cone is over there, and I want to get - get it out.
CDR-EVA: Hand me a set of tongs, too, will you?
LMP-EVA: Okay, here you go.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Once you get it out, can you put it back on?
LMP-EVA: Well, if we go - I'11 bring it over to you, and if you'11 hold it for me, I think I can.
LMP-EVA: How about whacking it on here, and see if you can get some of the dirt out of the bottom of it? This dumb thing is not supposed to come out of there without being locked. My penetrometer is around here; wait a minute.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Charlie.
CDR-EVA: Don't step right there, Here's a splatter - glass splatter.
LMP-EVA: Oh, yeah. I see it. A whole big bubble of it, isn't it?
LMP-EVA: Is that on?
CDR-EVA: Yeah, that got it. Thank you. Beautiful. Okay. I'm going to grab sample this scrap - this glass splatter behind the Rover, Houston.
LMP-EVA: Good. Hey, Tony. John, if you see it, there's one under that rock. Is that the one you're talking about ?
LMP-EVA: Okay. Tony, can I start on number 5 on the penetrometer?
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm going up out of this crater - up on the top part of it.
CDR-EVA: And that's going into bag 397, Houston.
CC: Okay, 397.
LMP-EVA: Tony, you Just can't believe that South Hay Crater, It is - it is perfectly - cylindrical - circular. And it's amazing. It's Just really apparent that we got two types of rocks there. Okay, I'm about up on the - up on the side now, starting with 5. And we're pushing it in.
UNKNOWN: Okay. That's as far as it's gonna go, Tony. And it went to half - about three-qusa_ters of the way up to the red mark. Tape94/45
CC: Okay. We'd like you to - -
LMP-EVA: ... going back down in the flat part.
CC: - - change to 220.
LMP-EVA: Okay. And, Tony, when you push on the thing, you can't push with a very smooth force, and it's gonna - you're gonna see some spikes on the re- cording, I'm sure.
CC: Okay. We understand that. That's fine, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: And - and if you want my opinion on the thing, I don't think we're hitting hard ground. I think what I did is probably hit a rock, and I should have probably moved this thing over a little bit.
CC: Okay. We'11 Just go with the 0.2 and see how that does.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. I'm sampling independently, and I've got four samples in bag 398. They're so dust covered that I can't tell anything about them - -
CDR-EVA: - - but I suspect they're lying by this big rock, and they may be the same kind of - same kind of rock. Charlie, I'm going to get that bag out from underneath your seat and put the samples in there.
LMP-EVA: Okay. You know, John, with all this - these rocks here, I'm not sure we're getting Descartes.
CDR-EVA: That's right. I'm not either.
LMP-EVA: We ought to go down that crater without any rocks.
CC: And, Charlie, you're on the big eye. We're watching.
LMP-EVA: Okay. The 0.2. You see that? The 0.2 went all the way in.
CC: We understand. Can you tell how far it stroked up on the pressure? Do you think it reached the hilt?
UNKNOWN: No, it very light - it was very light pressure, frankly. Hey, it Just depends on whether you hit a rock down there or not. This is really loose - loosely consolidated - this regolith - loosely packed.
CC: Okay. Was that index on 6?
LMP-EVA: That's affirmative. Going to 7.
CDR-EVA: You don't mind if I put those bags in your seat, do you, Charlie?
UNKNOWN: Not a bit.
UNKNOWN: turn the big eye up to the right, Tony, if you want to watch this other one.
CC: Okay, we're coming around.
LMP-EVA: It seems a little more firmly packed here.
LMP-EVA: Okay, that one bottmed out now.
LMP-EVA: It - oh, it's up above the red mark. And it got progressively harder. So I think that was a good - a good reading. I don't think that was necessarily a rock down there.
CC: Good show. We finally guessed right.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Going to 8 and I'm going downslope.
LMP-EVA: John, this - this crater over here looks like it might be - just downslope here looks like it might be one of the Cincos, and it could be Descartes material, because it's just some little blocks around'it. And there's - there's some little blocks in - inside the rim, too.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Here we go.
CC: Hello. How'd everything go on the back?
CMP: Oh, we got a lot of very dim photographs.
CMP: Actually, we got them all in. Times worked out Just perfectly.
CC: Okay. I'11 get your film report whenever you're ready, and when you're - -
CMP: The only - Okay. Let me give you that. I Just was turning the page. I did have one comment; the first - the first frame on that antisolar sequence, I think is probably not part of the gegenschein experiment itself. I think that's more of this zodiacal light business. But it's a 5-minute ex- posure, and we took it with the spacecraft - Let's say my head's down and nearly in the local horizontal. The camera was pointing 30 degrees down, and it looks to me like it would have had the Moon in - in earthshine - in the field of view; so I suspect that that's not much of a - not a very good frame. The rest of the sequences went - went fine, and the pointing attitudes pointed us right at the places on the chart. And I have attitude errors on the antisolar sequence. I'11 Just give you the atti- tudes at the end, and restart it from the proper attitudes. It was 165, 257, and 354. The second part of step 4 was 167, 258, 357. The attitudes in step 7: 169, 264, and 0. Attitudes in step 10: 164, 275, and 359. Magazine Zulu Zulu has 15 exposures taken.
CC: Roger. Copy, Ken.
CC: And, Ken, whenever you get a break there in your eating period, I got the rest of your Flight Plan changes.
CMP: Okay. Let me get a couple of bags ahead here.
CMP: Hey, Hank, a little curiosity here that I guess it's just "gee-whiz." I've been noticing some things like I got tool E tied to the G&N handrail, and I got a pair of scissors strapped down here in the LEB, on a tether, and I got a trash bag up in the tunnel; and most things in the cockpit give you troubles with floating around. They really - you really got to pay attention if you want them to be stable. But the trash bag never leaves the tunnel. And tool E, every time I've looked at it has been pointing - it's been hanging up instead of hanging down as you would think of it in the CMS. And my scissors are generally up. And I - I had decided that gee, that, you know, that's my imagi- nation. That can't really be. There's no pre- ferred direction. Then I got to thinking about the thruster configuration we have giving us the - all minus-X thrusting whenever they do fire for attitude control, and so I thought I'd take a look here while we're in ATTITUDE HOLD; and sure enough, in ATTITUDE HOLD, the tool E didn't go up and the scissors do stay down. And I guess that's when we were FREE most of that time rather than ATTITUDE HOLD. Apparently, you can see the effects over a long period in the cockpit of the minus-X firings for attitude. I thought that was kind of unusual.
CC: That's pretty interesting.
CMP: And let me get - get a bag open here and I'11 be ready to copy while I'm drinking.
CC: Okay. Ken, the first change we want to look at is at 145:14.
CMP: Hank, if we're going to do this during the - in an actual eat period, the best thing for us to do is probably for you to read them very slowly, and I'11 copy all I can and then when we get to the end, I'11 read them back to you.
CC: Okay. At 145:14, this is a minor change in that mapping camera photo pad. The longitude there, where it says "159.9 degrees to 20.7 degrees west," that should be "23.7 degrees west," and it's just your for own information; and that's two and a half revs.
CC: Okay. The next change is at 146:18, on the next page. 146:17, really, where it starts there with "GAMMA RAY SHIELD - OFF." Delete from there through "IMAGE MOTION - OFF." That's delete "GAS_4A RAY SHIELD - OFF; MAPPING CAMERA - OFF (T-stop), Wait 30 seconds; MAPPING CAMERA - STANDBY; and IMAGE MOTION - OFF." At 146:24 there where - in the block for MSFN updates, we won't be giving you a mapping camera photo pad; instead it'11 be a pan camera photo pad; this is Just for your information, and it'11 be copied at 148:10.
CC: And, Ken, we need HIGH GAIN, AUTO, and we'd like to verify the position of the DSE recorder switch.
CMP: Okay. You've got AUTO, and the DSE is in RECORD and FORWARD; HIGH BIT RATE.
CC: And, Ken, the next change is at 146:27; we want to delete all the little business there with the 7)/ "GAMMA RAY GAINSTEP - ON (up) 4 steps (step SHIELD-on (center)." Delete that whole line. Okay. The next change is at 146:30. At the top of the page. This is a minor change. The SIM experiment status should now be "Plus llll and 02222." And if you'11 flip the page over at 147 hours, the SIM status should be the same as before: "Plus llll, 02222." At 147:12, delete "IMAGE MOTION - ON," delete "MAPPING CAMERA - ON (T-start)," and also de3[ete that block for the photo pad - mapping camera photo pad. Okay, on the next page, at 148 hours, right at the top of the page, we want to add "_ RAY, RETRACT, to 7-1/2 feet." The time for the retraction is minutes At CAMERA, 2 26 seconds. 148:05, add "PAN STANDBY; STEREO; POWER- verify; PAN CAMERA, OPERATE at T-start." And, Ken, somewhere out beside that, you can build you a little block, if you like, to copy the pan camera photo pad.
CC: At 148:17, add "PAN CAMERA, STANDBY at T-stop; PAN CAMERA, OFF, MSFN cue; and GAMMA RAY, DEPLOY."
CC: At 148:29, where it talks about "GAMMA RAY: GAIN- STEP" et cetera, delete the middle part of that so that it reads "GAMMA RAY: GAINSTEP - ON (center)." That should be "SHIELD - ON." To repeat, that should read "GAMMA RAY: GAINSTEP - SHIELD - ON (center)." And right under that, at 148:30 there, delete "MASS SPEC, RETRACT to 8.4 feet."
CC: At 148:30, at the top of the next column, the SIM status should be "Plus llll, 02222." At the top of the next page, 149 hours, SIM status code should be the same as before, "Plus llll, 02222."
CC: And at 149:18, the block there that refers to "PAN CAMERA: STANDBY, STEREO, POWER, OPERATE (T-start)," that little group, - this is a note to yourself - should be moved up such that the T-start occurs at 149:16.
CC: At 149:30, the SIM status code should be "Plus 1211, 22222." And, Ken, that's all of them for now.
CMP: Okay, Hank, let me read them back to you, and I'11 just start - start back here at the last one you gave me. At 149:30, we got the status code as 1211 and 22222. We moved the pan camera block that's now at 149:18 up to a point where the OPERATE comes at 149:16. SIM code on that page is - is four sticks, and zero, four deuces. Same status code on the top at 148:30. 148:29, it's "GAMMA RAY: GAINSTEP, ON - or SHIELD, ON." 148:20, it's "GA_ RAY, DEPLOY." And, at about 148:17, it's "PAN CAMERA, STANDBY at T-stop, and then OFF at MSFN command." 148:15, it's "PAN CAMERA: STANDBY, STEREO, POWER, and then OPERATE at T-start," and I got a block ready for T-start and stop. At 148 even, it's "GAMMA RAY, retract to 7-1/2 feet," that's 2 minutes and 26 seconds from full retract - from full extension, and - I've deleted the mapping camera pad at 147:15. I've deleted the block mapping camera at 147:12 - 0ops, except for the "IMAGE MOTION, INCREASE," which still goes in there. I got a status change at the top of 147; the bottom llne is now 02222. 146i27, we delete the "GAMMA _ RAY" line. Big change in position of the pan camera photo pad to 148:10. Deleted the little block of items starting with"GAMMA RAY: SHIELD, OFF," and ending with "IMAGE MOTION, OFF" at 146:16. And the mapping camera photo pad down 145:12 is two and a half revs and ends at 23.7 west.
CC: Okay, Ken. That all looked pretty good, except at 148:30 - want to make sure you deleted the mass spec retraction.
CMP: Yeah, sure did. I'm sorry, I Just read you the gainstep line. Yes, I'11 leave the mass spec out.
CC: Okay. That's a good readback.
CMP: Okay, Henry. If you don't have anything else for a couple of minutes, I'11 go back to feeding my fac e.
CC: Go right ahead. I won't bother you.
CC: FAO, CAP COMM. Is the TCA time in the Flight Plan pretty good?
CMP: Say again, Hank?
CC: I was on the wrong loop, Ken. I was Just checking the time for TCA to Descartes. It's - it's pretty good, what's in the Flight Plan. John and Charlie are - are on their way up to Stone Mountain now to Cinco. They're about hall_way there.
CMP: Outstanding. Did they - halfway up Stone Mountain or halfway to Stone Mountain?
CC: They Just passed Survey Ridge.
CMP: Okay. Did - Was that real obvious to them?
CC: Yes, it was, and the surprising thing is that they have no trouble recognizing when they're on a ray. It's very obvious to them, on the surface.
CMP: Is that right? What - what looks different when they're on it?
CC: Just an enormous amount of blocks, and - they're - Just the way the terrain's all churned up; and they can tell this stuff's been thrown on top.
CMP: Beautiful. I
CC: Ken, the guys are on the first of one of those terraces there, just passing station 5 now, and they - they were able to recognize the - the ray Just by the block count.
CMP: Hey, Henry, how do you read Casper now?
CC: Reading you 5 by 5, Ken. How me?
CMP: Oh, loud and clear. I - I guess you probably didn't get my comment about the glint over on Stone Mountain?
CC: Negative. I hadn't heard anything for a while. I gave you a call while ago to tell you where they were.
CMP: (Chuckle) Yeh, okay, and I answered you and I guess I wasn't on VOX, I Just realized. Just as you said that I - I had Just gotten in a position as I passed overhead the - the area, and I was taking a look - I had two things in mind. One of them was to - to ... by the landing area, and I got there too late to tell whether or not I had seen any of that. And then the - the next thing I did was to look over towards the terraCes and see how they look today, and - when I looked over towards the terraces, it was kind of strange because I was looking out - And I'd say maybe you can see - at __ this Sun angle looks like there might be a terrace out there. And you can see Crest [?] Crater very plainly. And the - the Cincos, you have to be - I have to be on top of the landing site to see it, and by the time I got around to that, I was down- stream a ways; but I got a flash of light right at the base of Stone Mountain; just a glint, like a piece of metal flashed in the sunlight. And I'11 bet you anything I got a reflection off the Rover if - if at about that time they were right at the base of Stone.
CC: That's about where they were, Ken. I'ts about time to start your V49 maneuver.
CC: And, John and Charlie are up there, now. They're at Cinco.
CMP: Already?
CC: Yeah, they're making good time.
CMP: Doesn't seem possible they could go that fast.
CC: Ken, you might keep an eye on your middle gimbal angle on this - -
CMP: Henry, the other thing that - Oh, okay.
CC: And I need to get you your mapping camera photos pad up here before we get - you get too involved in this Gum Nebula thing.
CC: Okay. This is to be copied at about 145:12. T-start is 145 - -
CC: - - 18:40. T-stop, 150:16:05. And the image motion changes called in the Flight Plan are good.
CMP: Okay. T-start, 145:18:40; stop, 150:16:05.
CC: Good readback, Ken. And I won't bother you anymore while you're setting up.
CMP: Okay. One other thing I wanted to tell you about the - in the Descartes area. You remember the little cone-shaped thing that we looked at on the plotter?
CMP: Just to the north and mostly to the west of Canoe [?].
CMP: Okay. Well, I - I've looked for it on four revs now, and I - I've identified the feature that it looked like it was, and it doesn't look like that at all. It's just a little - Just a little soft mound with a crater in it, and it doesn't look any different than all the other craters when you look at it from here.
CC: Well, that's interesting, but disappointing.
CMP: Yeah, I was, too. And, actually, that's about the same score for the one that's out here by Lassell.
CC: Oh, is that right?
CC: Well, in the photograph for that one there north- west of North Ray, it sure does look like it had a lot darker material around it.
CMP: Yeah, I know it does, and I haven't had a chance to look at it straight down, but it - from an oblique, it sure - sure looks the same as all the rest of the things around there.
CC: And, Casper; Houston. When you get down to do that P52 and go to SCS, G&C suggests that perhaps you ought to - since you're that close to gimbal lock - that middle gimhal angle, you might go MINIMUM DEAD BAND and uncage the BMAGs. And LOW RATE on that, too.
CMP: Okay. And I got a 405 here, Hank. Light go away if I wait another minute?
CMP: Okay. That's not a bad plan.
CMP: You say affirmative on that - -
CC: That's affirmative, Ken. You - you wait a little bit, it'11 help, but stars 12 and 13 should be available.
CMP: Okay; 7 and 13, thank you.
CC: That's 12 and 13.
CMP: Okay; 12 and 13.
CMP: Well, there's - That's interesting. There's nothing in the sextant at all. And the telescope, I still haven't been able to pick up star patterns in.
CC: FAO is checking into it, Ken.
CMP: And I have nothing on star 13, either. I'm going to press on with the Gum Nebula and see if I can catch this later.
CMP: I suspect we've got something like the Moon in front of those stars.
CC: Ken, maybe you can get that P52 after you finish the Gum Nebula.
CMP: Roger. That's what I'm gonna try.
CMP: Yeah, I've - I looked outside here, Hank, and I go% the optics pointing at the Moon.
CMP: As a matter of fact, I'm gonna have to wait awhile here Just to clear the Moon to take this Gum Nebula sequence.
CC: Roger. You should be clear, according to the Flight Plan, at about 36 after.
CMP: Are you sure - Has somebody verified that these - these long exposure times we're taking are going to be satisfactory when we've got a brightly lit Moon in the field of view? You know we looked at all this kind of stuff on the original, but when we started coming back trying to piece things in here in real time, I wonder if some of those things need to be verified.
CC: Roger. FAO's checking. This was the PI's request.
CMP: Okay. I - We'11 go ahead and take them, but he ought to be aware that I got a beautiful earthlit Moon out here. I just passed - I believe that's . Rima Sirsalis and - you know, you can see features, not as good as the first night, but, boy, they - they're still real big obvious features out here.
CMP: At least the star patterns all check out. I've got Canopus and Regor and Avoir [? ] and all those stars in sight.
CC: Well, that's good.
CC: Casper, Houston. FAO advises they'd like for you to wait until LOS to do the photos.
CMP: Okay. Understand you want to wait until LOS. Okay. That ought to get us a little darker scene.
CC: We might be pressed to get that P52 in there after that, but we'11 Just have to do the best we can.
CMP: Well, I'm not sure you're going to get a P52 in there either, Hank. Seems to me like I'm supposed to go to a north oblique photo attitude - -
CC: That's affirmative, and so why don't we Just go ahead and scrub that 52?
CMP: - - and we're gonna be pressed Just to make that thing. That's what I was gonna suggest. Good plan. And I'11 catch 52 the next time we get in the dark. The platform is - obviously knows where it is. So, we'11 go ahead and get this north oblique in here, and I'm gonna have a - It looks like that may be a tight one, too - Just to get to it. But I'11 - we'11 get there, if we have to use the higher rate.
CMP: Hank, you asked me earlier about the configuration of the DSE switches. Was there some problem in the last time I reconfigured?
CC: INCO had some data that showed that it wasn't in RECORD, and he was puzzled about it.
CMP: Well, I see I'm supposed to configure it again here in just a minute. Do you want me to cycle things, or anything like that?
CC: Ken, INCO's going to take care of it this time. Would like for you to verify, though, that you are in that proper configuration. He's - at the time that we thought you'd be busy taking all these pictures here, I told him to go ahead and configure it at this end so you wouldn't have to mess with it.
CMP: Okay. I'11 just verify it, then.
CC: And on another check there, INCO verified there was no problem with your configuration.
CMP: Okay. I may be mistaken, Hank, but I believe that I can see the outer two rings of 0rientale, now. I'm just coming up on the earthshine terminator, and I can see a big circular basin, that's really a - really a big guy - fills the whole window. And I can see reflections off the far rim and off the near rim, and I've got two concentric rings with some flat areas and little - little buildups in it, and it really looks hilly in there. That's a - that's a spectacular thing; I wish we could see it in daylight.
CC: Okay, Ken, we're about 4 minutes from LOS. Every- thing's looking good on this end, and Just to pass on something about the guys on the surface, they've got a real good view of South Ray from where they are, and they say that - that - that the crater - the ejecta from South Ray is two different kinds of material. There's some dark material and then the light material that we call ray material, so he said there's other ejecta right along with it in all directions, where there's dark and light.
CMP: Yeah? How about that. I think I told you yester- day that - that it appers to me that the interior of North and South Ray are significantly different.
CMP: South Ray shows a great deal of dark and light splotches and North Ray just doesn't show that real dramatic difference. C0594UNICATIONS 95/1 Tape
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. I'm digging an exploratory trench right here to see - material is black.
CDR-EVA: Now - it's sure not. I mean the material is not white. It's Just the same as it -
LMP-EVA: Oh, rats' How'd you like that?
CC: Beautiful maneuver there, Charlie. What do you do for an encore?
LMP-EVA: Okay. This thing is - Okay. I went (laughter) I went down - it - That one bottomed out.
LMP-EVA: But it went all the way in. I don't mean - I mean the force.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. I've gone down about -
CDR-EVA: Shovel width, and it's all the same material. And I don't see any layering in it or anything.
CC: Okay. We understand that, John.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I've gone to number - sequence to number 9, and I'm stowing this beauty.
LMP-EVA: And that one test downhill was on the steepest part.
LMP-EVA: Tony, when I push that beauty in there, it almost turns the Rover over.
LMP-EVA: Tony, do you want this double core - in the ditch here or downslope where I think is probably closer to Descartes?
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. I've got a sample out of the deepest part of this trench that I'm digging, and it's going into bag -
CDR-EVA: Bag 399.
CC: Okay; bag 399.
LMP-EVA: Did you copy that, Tony? My question?
CC: Right, Charlie. Why don't we just go ahead and take it dow_nslope there about your last penetrometer place?
LMP-EVA: Okay, will do. Hey, John, I need - I'm going to come over there - -
LMP-EVA: - - and get a couple of cores from you.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I'm going to leave those two cores in that bag. It makes it stand up.
LMP-EVA: Yeah. That's great. That's the lower - upper -
CDR-EVA: I wish I could say these rocks look different, Houston, but they don't. They look - -
CC: Okay. We understand. And do you see a blocky rim crater within walking distance?
LMP-EVA: Blocky rimmed?
CDR-EVA: Blocky rim.
LMP-EVA: But what is this one?
CDR-EVA: How about right up there, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Yeah. That was one right up there. Uh-huh. Yeah. That's 30 meters away - up there. Getting out of this little crater is pretty, pretty hard; but after that it's - I think you'11 be able to hack it.
CDR-EVA: Yeah. I've got an upper and a lower.
LMP-EVA: You guys looking at the scenery?
CC: We sure are. It's really outstanding.
LMP-EVA: Pretty view from up - Have you seen the lunar module? You shoot 12 o'clock right now on the TV.
CDR-EVA: How much - how much time we got here?
CC: Okay. You've got about 22 minutes left.
LMP-EVA: We've got 58 total, John.
CC: No. We don't have the resolution to see the LM.
CDR-EVA: Charlie, get a picture of the LM.
LMP-EVA: I did - with the 500.
LMP-EVA: Don't poop yourself, John.
CDR-EVA: Not doing any work, Charlie. Good show.
LMP-EVA: Okay. The old double core is assembled. Tony, you can't - in the regolith, you see little bright speckles looking at you, and I think it's uh - uh glass particles. John has already sampled - some of them.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. Here's some blocky rim secondary. Here's a nice little one.
CC: Okay, John. That might be a good place to get a rock. We're really looking for one where the rock around the secondary - rock around the crater - should come from the crater; not from the secondary.
CDR-EVA: Yeah. I would suppose that all of them - Do you think all the blocks on the upslope side were the - were the - were the secondary that made it? Don't you reckon - if it's from South Ray? Let me go down and sample off the rim - off the south rim.
CDR-EVA: I think you really need a primary impact crater to - to avoid the problem.
CC: Yeah. You're right, John.
LMP-EVA: Tony, mark me down for - for one more. Mark me down for one more blow. I'm trying to get the dust off. Man, I don't want to get down there too far. This thing is deep. Okay, Tony. I'm to the 2 o'clock - to the 2:30 position of the Rover, and I'm going to start with this double core - got it assembled. Okay. I pushed it in. Almost up - Well, I did. I got in up to the - almost to the top of the first stem by pushing it in.
LMP-EVA: There comes your 7-footer cross-Sun, and I'11 get you a locator. I'm just going to get you a locator now that I'm downslope. It won't be in the ground. Procedurally, that' s a little wrong, hut I '11 do it anyway.
LMP-EVA: It'11 save me some work.
LMP-EVA: (Singing) I've been hammering [sic] on the rail- road, all - Okay, Tony, about halfway up the second one - it's getting a little harder, but it's going on in.
CC: Okay. Maybe we're getting down to Descartes there.
LMP-EVA: Huh? That might be. Boy, those rays from South Ray - You can Just track right across through Stubby right on up to Survey. You know, Tony, South Ray was mapped as the biggest crater at North Ray, and it's not nearly as big. It's just the ray pattern - the whiteness that makes it look this big. 95/5 Tape
CDR-EVA: No, Charlie. It wasn't.
LMP-EVA: It was not? Oh, I thought it was. Excuse me.
CDR-EVA: It was when we started, but when they got - when we got
CDR-EVA: Okay, Houston. I'm standing on the rim of this crater over here. The only - the only rock I see on the south rim of this see - obvious secondary is - is not too big. I can get down into the crater and look down in it, and see if I can scratch away to a bench, if you'd like to do that.
CC: Okay. I don't_ think we need to do that, John. Charlie will bring up a rake there; and, maybe from that, we'11 be able to get Descartes.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) I'11 bring up a rake. Thanks.
CDR-EVA: Are you getting a rake, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: I'm getting the - I'm finishing up the double core right now. I've got it back here, and I'm taking it apart.
LMP-EVA: Capped, bottom section.
CC: And, Charlie_ did you call off the section numbers?
CDR-EVA: Carrying that rock again is going to be -
LMP-EVA: No, not yet. I'11 get them.
LMP-EVA: Okay. That's full. Bottom section was 38, Tony.
UNKNOWN: Man, this is working neat. Those things are just going right back on.
LMP-EVA: Okay. It's all rammed home.
CDR-EVA: What I'11 do, Houston, is get a soil sample off this rim. I - that's the only thing I can he assured of that's Descartes right at this point.
CDR-EVA: That's going in bag 400.
CC: Okay; bag 400.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Top section, Tony, is number 43. Pass on.
CC: Okay, Charlie. Is that 23?
LMP-EVA: 43, 4-3.
CDR-EVA: Okay. From this vantage - from this vantage point, Houston, I'd like to shoot a pan.
CC: Have at it, John.
CDR-EVA: It might be able to make some stereo - might be able to make some stereo with it.
CDR-EVA: I tell you, this is a graphic illustration of a secondary from - from South Ray, though, and it'11 show up good if I can bend over good enough to get it.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, the two - the double core is under m_ seat -
LMP-EVA: All finished. Hey, do you really want me to grab the rake, Tony? I got to go up and help John.
CC: How you're getting that, Charlie.
CC: Okay. Yeah, we'd like you to take the rake on up there.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm putting it together now.
LMP-EVA: Fred Haise gets a 6-months' supply for thinking of that - rake thing. That is really neat.
CDR-EVA: I'11 tell you one thing - we're sure up in the air.
CDR-EVA: I told those guys at the VAB we were going to be 200 feet higher than they are. We're a lot higher than the VAB.
CC: That makes a pretty good TV picture standing up there. The big eye is on you.
CDR-EVA: Roger. I'm just trying to figure out - Dadgummit! Do you know where we landed? Charlie-Alfa 81!
CDR-EVA: Charlie-Alfa 81. We're about 200 meters north of Double Spot.
LMP-EVA: Yeah. There's Double Spot.
CDR-EVA: Darn right.
LMP-EVA: Exactly north of Double Spot, John.
CDR-EVA: Well, I'11 be doggoned.
LMP-EVA: That's where the LMA says we're going to land.
CDR-EVA: I knew we made some kind of a mistake (laughter).
LMP-EVA: Man, this is tough going here.
CDR-EVA: That is absolutely remarkable.
LMP-EVA: Hey, John, did you make those little footprints here around in this stuff? Yes, I guess I did,
CDR-EVA: No, sir. I didn't. I came across that ridge there, and I don't advise you to get down in there either.
LMP-EVA: Yeah. This is steep. Okay. Where do you want this -
CDR-EVA: On the rim, I think, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Why don't we get outside the rim? That would be definitely Descartes - right down here. Okay - -
CDR-EVA: The object is to get the stuff that's been knocked out of the ground and landed on the rim.
UNKNOWN: Yeah, I know it, but I thought that would definitely - we could say that would be definitely - okay, I'11 sample right up here. That's a definite secondary right there, isn't it?
CDR-EVA: Boy, I mean to tell you if that's not ..., I never saw one.
LMP-EVA: Okay. This is -
CDR-EVA: Hank Moore would love to see that.
LMP-EVA: Yeah. Hey, let me take it easy now. I'm pooped.
CDR-EVA: Yeah. Just slow down. Let me get the rake sample, Charlie. Get it.
LMP-EVA: Okay. There's a lots of goodies right there on the inner rim.
CDR-EVA: Yeah. Yeah. That's where I'11 rake - right there. Okay?
LMP-EVA: Okay. Don't fall into that ... Excuse me.
CDR-EVA: Pretty good size, isn't it?
UNKNOWN: Yeah. Here, let me have the shovel. Okay. I got it.
LMP-EVA: That's a clod. That's what - that's an indurated clod. Here's some rocks. Good deal, boy. That's great. Hey, Let's fill this one up, and then - Hey, John, watch it. Is that okay for you?
UNKNOWN: Super. Got them every one in there.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Real dust-covered, mostly centimeter size, Tony - about 15 frags - some smaller than that.
CDR-EVA: I've already got my shovel full here, Charlie.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Of the dirt?
LMP-EVA: I hate to tell you this, but I think it's indurated regolith.
LMP-EVA: Because I'm Just breaking it up.
CDR-EVA: Very friable, Houston. Like dust - dirt clods.
LMP-EVA: Which is probably what it is.
CDR-EVA: Want to get another one? Can another
UNKNOWN: Yeah. you try one? You copy that, Tony?
LMP-EVA: I don't think this - these are rocks. I think it's a - If they are, they are very friable. Z think it's just indurated regolith.
CDR-EVA: Well, there may - there may be a rock or two in there.
LMP-EVA: Wait a minute. You got to get them all to one corner, John. There you go. Okay. That's got it.
CDR-EVA: Maybe some of them are rocks. Okay, Houston. That was three scoops, and we're not documenting this to the best of our ability, because I think we're standing too close to the rim here to -
LMP-EVA: Down-Sun, I'd be - down-Sun, I'd be in big hole.
CDR-EVA: If Charlie goes down-Sun to take the picture, we' re in trouble.
CC: All right. We can see that.
CDR-EVA: It ought to be in the pan.
CC: Right. We see it.
CDR-EVA: The loc - the locator shot will be in the pan, and I'm going to shoot this - This is an up-Sun, after, of the rake sample, stereo.
LMP-EVA: That was in bag 401, Tony.
CC: Okay, 401.
LMP-EVA: Yeah. Okay, Tony. You want us to get the - the - We can get the dense rocks here for the padded bags. There's plenty of them around, but they'11 probably be out of South Ray. All these blocks that we see here came out of this secondary.
LMP-EVA: Every one.
CC: Okay. We copy that. We'11 collect the padded bags back near the Rover. There's no point in going back up there.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Well, that's what we're going to do. I just wondered if those - if secondary was okay for you.
CC: Okay. We're getting them to work it. We will need a second pan in the area of the penetrations there.
LMP-EVA: I'11 do that. Boy, isn't it loose? On the - on your - on your footing here, John, it feels like - feels like I'm really sinking in.
CDR-EVA: Charlie, you really are. Boy, is this ever neat! (Laughter) If I could just figure out some way to keep my hands closed.
LMP-EVA: Yeah. That's the hard part about it, isn't it? You know, John, that black stuff is glass - on those rocks.
CDR-EVA: Sure it is. That's what I said.
CC: Okay, fellows, we'd like to get you packed up there. We'11 save the padded bags for later.
CC: And your gyro is good. We won't need to torque it.
LMP-EVA: I think we have enough rocks from the South Ray.
LMP-EVA: I got to get one more view from up here. John, I got to - I'11 take the pan from right here.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I'11 go ahead and pack up, Charlie.
UNKNOWN: Okay, let's see; how do I do this? f/11 at 74, hmmmm - Click - click - click - click. Okay, Tony. Do you want me to change the mags on the - 167 It' s about empty.
CC: That's affirmative. runs
LMP-EVA: That kind of frames per second it through there.
CC: Right; go ahead.
LMP-EVA: Okay, will do.
CC: Should be mag R.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Man, if I get this - top of this one in that picture - it's going to be a miracle.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony. Doing this pan, I've moved about 2 feet downslope, so I don't know if things are going to match up too well or not.
CC: Ah, we'11 make it work.
LMP-EVA: Okay. And, after that pan, I'11 be leaving - I'11 be leaving here with frame count ll0.
CC: Okay, Charlie; ll0.
UNKNOWN: dog, you!
CDR-EVA: What are you talking about? Did you drop it, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Yeah, but I got it. Get downslope here, and it's a piece of cake.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, it is.
CC: And we'd like EMU check before you take off.
LMP-EVA: ... I don't think it's going to -
CDR-EVA: Okay. I'm reading 3.85. I have no flags. I'm down to 68 percent on the 02 . Make that 63 percent. No, 68 was right. And I'm on inbay between INTER- MEDIATE and MINIMUM cooling.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm at 70 percent, clear flags, 3.85, and I got a - Just out of inter - just out of MEDIUM - correction just out of MIN. I got it, John.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I think the flact [sic] that we didn't run across any white soil may be significant around here.
LMP-EVA: Tony what - how'd the metabolic rate look there?
CC: Okay. Y'all look very good.
UNKNOWN: Okay. Thank you. Okay. And as we leave Binko Crater, we bid a fond farewell.
CC: Okay; and, John, we'11 need a frame count from you.
UNKNOWN: Okay, Tony.
CDR-EVA: Okay. My frame count is 76, magazine Charlie.
LMP-EVA: John, could you give me magazine Romeo?
LMP-EVA: Hey, Tony. I think on this next one we ought to stop away from any boulders down at 5, and - and so we can get some Descartes.
CC: Right, we're - -
CDR-EVA: Is that where you got Romeo from, Charlie?
UNKNOWN: Yeah. That's fine.
CC: We agree that station 5's the key station now. We have a - a pad vector to get you to the - the crater that you called out on the way up, but it's up to you on what you think is the best place to be sure of getting Descartes.
CDR-EVA: We've got you.
LMP-EVA: Okay. We could move 40 feet - 50 meters downslope, and I think we'd have Descartes, but we'11 - we'11 - we'11 look. Okay. Ready, John?
CDR-EVA: Yeah. I've got the frame count. DAC's mag's R - f/8, and the bags we're skipping. Okay; DAC, 250.
LMP-EVA: I've got to change that.
CDR-EVA: Okay, going MODE switch to 1, Houston; and a TV-CCW.
CC: Okay. That 50 meters downslope you described - Is that a blocky rim crater, or why do you think that is Descartes?
LMP-EVA: Because there's no blocks around it at all.
CDR-EVA: It's just an old subdued crater.
LMP-EVA: It's got a few blocks around it. Tony, I can see that one downslope that you wanted us to stop at that's at station 5. It's - it won't be any trouble getting there, but if you give us a vector, that'11 be certain.
CC: Okay. The vector will be 352 heading and 17.
LMP-EVA: John, look in the ... there. Do you see -
CC: Does that look like the best bet to you? What we're looking for is a primary impact - -
LMP-EVA: That seems to be about it.
CDR-EVA: What they're looking for is a primary impact crater at Descartes.
CC: What we're looking for is a primary impact at blocky rim crater.
CDR-EVA: Understand.
LMP-EVA: Suppose we give you a primary impact with no block?
LMP-EVA: Wait a minute, John. I can't find this seatbelt. There we go.
CC: And we don't want one without blocks. It'11 almost have to be blocky.
CDR-EVA: Are you all ready to go, Charlie?
LMP-EVA: Yes, sir. Strapped in. Let me turn the campra on.
CDR-EVA: Okay; now watch my arm now. Okay. Don't hit my a_-m. 95/15 Tape
LMP-EVA: Okay, wait a minute. I don't feel it - running.
CDR-EVA: We'11 have to get it next time.
LMP-EVA: Must not have the mag in there right because it's not running.
CDR-EVA: Can't fix it without getting out. Don't, don't. Let's - let's worry about that when we get to the station.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Tony, the camera's not running this time. I'11 fix it when we get down to 5. You won't miss much.
UNKNOWN: And this is going to be sporty. See that string of - excuse me, John - see that string of second- aries in - in Stubby?
LMP-EVA: On the south flank of Stubby?
LMP-EVA: I think at 0.7; we are starting at 4052. Hey, what should our bearing back to the LM - bearing and range be back to the IM, Tony_ when we hit that crater?
CC: Okay, it'11 be 3 - -
LMP-EVA: The one we can't - we can't -
CC: Right; it'11 be 354 at 3.4.
LMP-EVA: Okay. We're headed 354 and going - That thing is taking us straight for the LM, John. Downslope is easy.
