CDR: Houston, Apollo 7. I would like to log at 10 plus 35 I had 11 squirts on this water pistol, and I'd like to add that the beef stew bites tend to be very crumbly. And a lot of crumbs when you ope_ the package even.
CMP: Pretty crummy food!
CC: Copy the crumbly food.
CDR: Houston, as long as we're logging water in * squirts, 17 squirts for CDR at 10 hours - -
CDR: Houston, Apollo 7- Do you copy?
LMP: Houston, Apollo 7, go. And are you monitoring ottr Jet problem? We've been waiting for about minutes steam pressure 20 now for to increase, about ready to reservice water boilers.
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. Affirmative. Read you.
LMP: Roger, I'm reading you very weak and it seems we've been running into a lot of static here, but in the meantime we're ]eft without our tape recorder running. We don't quite know the status of it, but we are left that way. We'd llke to be using it to record some of these prob!ems. We - I should be observing the anomaly we got in our steam pressure now, and I'm going to reservice the water boiler.
CC: Roger, I understand, you're servicing the water boiler.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 7. Let's get those guys in the backroom to keep track of the tape recorder for us, please.
CDR: Okay, at 11 - at 11 hours and 10 minutes into the flight, CDR logged 25 clicks on the water gun.
LMP: At about 11:15, LMP took ... clicks on the water gun.
LMP: And we've chlorinated the potable water at 11 hours 30 minutes into the flight. The potable water quantity is reading about 87 per- cent.
LMP: ... 11 hours and 58 minutes into the flight, and frame 4 ...
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. AOS via Mercury.
LMP: Houston, Apollo 7. We temporarily had our primary loop back working on the line. It is beginning to look like the primary water flow valve. For a while, we thought _t was stuck shut. However, I was able to, by playing with it, eventually get it to come back up with steam pressure reading normal for awhile. It's holdin6 around a temperature of about 43. Right now, it's pegged low again. It looks like it's possibly the water eontro] section of the 240 controller.
CC: Wait, say again there the last sentence there. It looks like what?
LMP: I believe it's probably getting down to the water control section of the 240 controller. !T!AI j C_ Day 1 10_ Also, we had a DTO to accomplish here, the CRYO stratification for hydrogen. It's - both tanks are over 90, plus or minus 5, percent and on the hydrogen, the procedure calls to let and the pressure rise to about 260 to 265, I believe that's the spec number, and I'd like EECOM to tell me how high these pressures have been rising before they - the heaters shut off so I'11 know where to start doSng the DTO. Over.
CC: Roger. Stand by, we'l] get it for you.
LMP: More specifically, Ron, I need the DEADB._{D that the hydrogen pressure tank 1 and tank 2 have been running back and forth between.
CC: Wait 1 - I think - P52. Don't we Just pick a pair out of the CMC?
CDR: Roger, we'11 go ahead like that.
UNKNOWN: Did anybody come up with any suggestions on our ECS problem?
LMP: The malfunctions procedures call for activating the secondary loop. Whenever the primal_ radior out - radiator outlet temperature gets above 48. I think - now, we've just been doing that and kind of going by the glycol EV;_ TE_,_. I'm now reading almost 60 on the radiator outlets system, now that my glycol EVAP outlet cheek has gone to about 52. I would like to hold to not activating the secondary loop until the primary glycol evaporator outle_ T_4P hits 50.
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. We concur on that. Wc kind of believe that we're really - not really hot enough, and then we're starting to cool down when it starts evaporating, maybe overshooting, going too cold on the thing. We're working on that right now.
LMP: Okay. During the night pass, the glycol evaporator outlet temperature got down as low as about 45, something like that, before we got the evaporator working again.
LMP: Do you have anybody sending us extreme data on what the hydrogen pressure should cycle between?
LMP: The potable water was chlorinated arou_nd 11:30 with a chlorine ampule and a buffer ampule.
LMP: It's about 12:18:30. It's 12:18:30 into the flight and 2..
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. I have your DEADBANDS for H 2 1 and H 2 2 tanks.
LMP: Roger. Go.
CC: Roger. Tank 1 - H2 tank 1, 228 to 2h6; H 2 tank 2, 237 and 255.
LMP: Roger. 228 to 2h6, 237 to 255, and it turns out that the pressures are cycling back and forth in the neighborhood of these readings? R/O
CC: That's affirmative in the AUTO heaters, and you can tell Wally that it looks like stars 11 and 12 would probably be pretty good stars to try for.
LMP: Roger, 11 and 12. Thank you. And
LMP: we'11 accomplish the zero-g test after the alignment. We're still checking on ...
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. 30 seconds to LOS.

CC: Apollo 7, Houston. We'11 take those angles.
LMP: Hey, Ron, it's not a good situation, but I don't consider we've got anything of real prob- lems with that primary coolant loop right now.
CC: .-. 7, we concur with that.
CC: 7, Houston. We are Just now taking a look at the dumped data that we've picked up at HedsLone.

CC: Roger, we'd like to get VERB 06, NOUN 21; read out the PIPA count. We would like to get your onboard readout. Our Y PIPA count doll here - it has been zero for a long time.
CDR: Roger, we can't very well fix that ... about 2 minutes.
LMP: Hey, Ron, I completed P5.8 for the hydrogen tank pressure at 90 percent level. It didn't look to me like we have any stratification. Pressures that I noted down did drop a little bit, but I'm not sure what distance the NSR reading is.
CC: Walt, you're coming through HF this time across there - and I can't - I can't read you very well. Can you talk a little slower?
LMP: Roger, understand. I did complete the hydrogen tasks at 90 percent portions of the CRYO stratification test, and I logged the data, but it is my own estimation that we didn't really have any stratification.
CDR: Islands off China in the Sea of Japan ... magazine P for Peter, frame 18, time 13:_5.
CDR: Frame number 19, time 13:47:56; small island.
CC: - - this upcoming maneuver. We will yield about nominal displacement a NC - NCC 1. The S-IVB orbit on third day, however, yields a displacement between 63 and 87 miles, if we go ahead and make the burn. And this is all based on beacon tracking, so it's pretty good.

We're not getting anything, and we'd like to check the pin connectors, the signal conditioner connectors, and, at last resort, press down on the sensors. Second item, information: it wi].] probably take about 28 minutes to drain the H2O.

CMP: Roger, that was done.
CC: - - I mentioned this before, but I couldn't understand the answer. We want to advise that it will take 28 minutes to drain the water.
CMP: Roger. I understand, 28 minutes to drain the water. You're referring to the waste tank dump?
CC: I am sorry, waste tank dump. Affirmative.
CMP: Roger. We're only up t'o 40 percent on waste water, so we've got a ways to go.

CC: Apollo 7, Houston. Did you read me on the water chlorination?
CMP: Roger. We did the chlorination at 11 hours. Wally did it.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 7- The command module pilot got about 6 hours of sack time, of which 4 hours was in a pretty deep sleep. I would have slept a little better except I'm not used to going to bed at what's 6 o'clock local time for me. I think in a day or two I'11 get used to the cycle.

LMP: At any rate, on that - there are several prob- hadn't particularly lems have come up that we expected. One is the constant wear garment. In addition to that, there's nothing really large enough to accom_modate the bag. It makes it quite messy when it springs back after completion of a defecatlon_ Tb.e other alternative is to take the - the constant wear garment off the your shoulders and put it down around knees. Now, in order to do that, you have to disconnect the BIOMED sensors, which are not color coded incidentally, and the - very difficult for them to hook them all back up to the right place ...
LMP: Other than that, the problems are really surprisingly few. I voided myself simultane- ously, dumped the urine collection. Cleaning myself up, I had relatively little mess. I utilized two of the tissues, each of which were used, folded, used again, and then used a third tissue which had earlier been soaked with water from the water gun, cleaning up rather well, _d then went sllead a_d used the wet-wipe that is provided. It's worth noting that those wet-wipes that come in the fecal bag do not have any Velcro on them for attaching to the wall, and that's a definite handicap.

LMP: Yes, well, I didn't like that. Yes, I am, Walt. I'11 Just stay down here. It's easier. Hell, this timer down here is wiped out. It Just Jumped another 10 minutes.
LMP: It's 11:07.
CMP: What have we got, Wally:
CDR: I'11 give you a mark at 11.
CMP: 11 minutes to go?
CMP: Okay, I think I'11 Just use my wristwatch.
CDR: Okay, I'11 still wait. I'11 give you 10:30, or do you want 107
CMP: 10:30 is fine. Well, 10 would be better.
CDR: 45 seconds.
CDR: 10 seconds.
CMP: Huh? 10.
CDR: 2, 1 - ---- oJ
CDR: MARK.
CMP: No, I don't.
CMP: Well.
CMP: Man, this is going to be tough, I think. Well, it's getting - what the hell are you shining in my eyes, Walt?
LMP: Oh.
UNKNOWN: ° It's dark out there, and all I can see is a flashing light. It's not all that bright.
CDR: Pretty good level? _ 2 128 _r_ ....· Day
CMP: No, not yet. Wait a second.
CMP: Wally, it's no longer in automatic attitude control. I mean, it's not a complaint, but it is Just holding attitude in DAP.
UNKNOWN: 19 plus 41.
CDR: Now.
CMP: What are we supposed to be - -
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. Tananarive in 10 minutes.
CMP: Okay, give me a holler at 8 minutes, gang.
CMP: Yes, it's okay for now.
CMP: Rate?
CDR: You got about 2 seconds here, and I think I can clear it.
CMP: That's the same engine.
CMP: Wait a minute. No, I didn't - that's a better one, isn't it? I screwed up. I didn't ...
CMP: Well. Well, I lost it now.
CMP: Well, where did you go, you little devil? Well, I pulled off the eyepiece for a_l instant, and it's disappeared. And it's not on the telescope either. It's only that slight line ... P54 to show up in the telescope. And the sextant field is really too dim, so there you are. CC; ,.r _l ILJ L-I X I [_r'_ [ - '
CMP: Yes, I guess so; we'11 have to. Well - I think it has gone to - AUTO OPTICS is gone now, and I've got to do it manually, and it's not there.
CMP: That's right.
CMP: Okay, Walt, I guess we better pitch down and And, go to the boresight attitude. well, we'11 see what the hell we're going to get from the DSKY solution. I think we can go MANUAL if you want - probably be a little cheaper. And we could put it back to DAP when we get there.
CMP: Hight.
CMP: Well, that was a surprise.
CMP: It's the ... attitude.
CMP: Okay, 52 degrees inertial is your pitch angle,- Wally, and plus 9 degrees out of plane. Our vector should be less than out of plane at TPF of zero.
CDR: Well. Walt, oh, you don't have that. How did that check with the ground? They gave you sc_e solutions, didn't they? Did they give you local vertical coordinates?
CMP: They didn't give us any local vertical?
CMP: Okay, let me see it.
CMP: Here we a_'e, we're absolute - right on, 15.0, 7-9, and 1.9 out of plane. Wally, I suggest we take about half of that out of plane. Not, not all of it. Let's roll up about 5 down and then you take out about - about 4 degrees of yaw. How's that? Well, let it fly to its attitude, and then you can override it manu- ally, and bring it into about 4 degrees. It'11 he about 8 degrees out of plane and if we pull it back into about 4 or 5, I thirnk it'11 Just about Jibe with the ground.
CMP: You're at CMC hold?
CMP: Okay, let me check that beauty. Alright? Here we go.
CMP: Is it there?
UNKNOWN: Well, you might, because you have less light loss in the window that I do in the telescope. I mean - whether or not you'11 see it, I don't know. Hope we are a little closer now.
CDR: Well, Just a minute.
CMP: ... a lot. Sure wouldn't want to have to put up with it, though. Okay.
CMP: Well, that's interesting.
CMP: Okay, I'd take about half cf that yaw back out of there. Yes, go left about 4 degrees. Yes, you can do it right in CMC, AUTO. Yes. It'11 go over. Okay, there you go. Just hold that. Okay, I'm going to proceed from this display now. Now, when those flop over, it'11 be time to burn. Actually, it'11 happen about 15 seconds early.
CMP: What? Th_s is your INEHTIB3_ HOLD attitude. This is your ORB RATE, and it looks like it's f_---'_k II--/l_r"k ITIA/ going to be pretty close to 28 degrees. Move 17.6. Okay, Walt? 17.7.
CMP: Put it up after awhile. Okay.
CMP: 15.7. Well, we'11 overburn 0.01. Why don't you leave it propped here for a minute here, ahd then you can - -
UNKNOWN: good.
CMP: Good.
CMP: That's it. Yes, burn it out. Okay.
CMP: 17.3 on the DSKY. It would - I don't know, it's 3, and then 6, then he starts Jumping, so - You almost had them r_ght in there. Well, Just a minute, you're all - you are essentially all fore and aft. Man, perfect! Okay, I don't know if you want to - I'd leave it. I don't th_nk you're going to do any better than that. We've got plus 1, pl_ 3, and minus 3 on the residuals. There's a chance that we're going to press on from there.
UNKNOWN: ... residuals on the DELTA-V counter.
CMP: Okay, okay. Now, I want to - okay, LOW BIT RATE. I don't care.
LMP: Anybody seen my checklist? Goddamned thing, where did it go? Well, so much for that.
CMP: Wally, are you in CMC, AUTO? Okay, it should start maneuvering us back up there in a minute.
CMP: There's my checklist.
CMP: Huh? You can keep that. Yes, okay.
LMP: ... manual ...
CC: Apollo 7, Houston through Tananarive. Stand- ing by.
CDR: Roger. The residual was very low on that TPI.
CMP: Okay. I read them all, and they were very small.
CMP: Now, don't be scared, this is a phony mark. It's going to be a big number. At least, I hope it's a big number.
CMP: Not all that big, is it?
CDR: Houston, Apollo 7. We made the TPI with the onboard solution, that's the computer solu- tion, in DAP.
CC: Walt, we'ye got real badCOX here at Tanan- arive. We can read that you are saying some- thing, but we can't make it out.
CDR: The TPI burn was on the computer; onboard solution.
CC: We couldn't make it out. We made out the word "TPI" and that was all.
CMP: Yes, I got it back, finally. Yes, I'11 lay it there. I don't think we're going to - -
CC: Can you confirm that you've burned TPI?
CDR: That's affirm. Affirmative.
CC: Roger, we got it. Thank you.
CMP: Okay, I'11 get you one in Just a second. You Want to give me a time hack?
CDR: Roger ... stand by.

CMP: Okay, thank you. No, it's 5 minutes from the burn. I Just wanted to see how long - how far away we were.
CMP: If you want to.
CMP: Wally, this thing is Just barely visible in the telescope now. It is very bright in the sextant, however; flashing light.
CMP: Well, I'11 tell you. That's really screwed up. We were doing fine up to then. I mean, hell, you lose it, you Just have to - I didn't realize it would Just flat disappear like that.
CMP: Man alive'
CMP: This flashing light is absolutely spastic, on the booster. It's bright as hell sometimes, and then again, you can hardly see it, and it's erratic, it's irregular, you know. It isn't - it's either moving around or else those lights are screwed up, I don't know which. Yes, probably turning around.
CC: ... a short pass at Carnarvon and - -
CMP: Okay, you guys give me a call for - we got about 8 minutes past or 52, whichever. Might as well. Okay, thank you. Okay, fine, I'11 get it for you. Okay, I'11 do one more mark, and then we'11 go for the backup.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 7. Do you read now?
CMP: No, you didn't either, or else you're going to use them right here. Okay, VERB 85 coming up. Now, let's see. 10 seconds? Man, I didn't get so far, did I?

CMP: Okay. I'm going to get a mark in between here.
CMP: Good deal.
CMP: Yes, he may, especially when he gets sunlight. I think once he gets out in the sun, it won't be so bad.
CMP: Alright (laughter).
CMP: We should have a few minutes.
CMP: How many minutes, gang?
CMP: 10. Okay. Don't lose track. I've got a here is crummy- it's all screwy. Okay.
CMP: Okay, you finished? Okay.
CMP: Okay, I'm going to proceed at 22:30 and this will calculate a burn which we'11 execute at this amplitude if it is big enouEh to be worthwhile. I hope it isn't. I'm going now.
CMP: We may be a little late. This thing is pokey compared to what our sim - the simulators
UNKNOWN: we'11 Just burn it late, Wally. I don't think it'11 matter all that much.
CMP: Okay - that's about - hit it one more time -
CMP: Yes, let's see what it says, first.
CMP: Okay. I don't particul_'ly want to take off 3.7 feet per second. I'11 go along with your value_ Walt. Okay, let's take off about 2 and let it go. I can't believe it. I don't yes, sir, it's 2. _lk ifflh r_ ,-P, . . -- _ .., IL.._'l..I '_ I I/'_L
CMP: It'11 - Okay, this is - Okay, yes. We're not - yes, Just wait until I get to the ...
CMP: Okay, have I got time to do a mark, or do you want to watch your data?
CMP: Walt, what time is it? Wally?
CMP: 16 or 44, whichever you got.
CMP: Okay, that's all I wanted.
CMP: Yes, it'11 do that now and then. I don't know what the hell's the matter with it.
CMP: Well, wait a minute. What the hell is it doing?
CMP: Okay, got it, Walt?
CMP: I'm going to have to get at least a mark in here. Oops, I can't do that yet. I have to out get of this thing now.
CMP: Where are you now?
CMP: You're going to have to get this a little late then, because I - it's coming out of these marks.
CMP: Okay, good. I need it.
CMP: The DSKY is not pulling it in too well right now on the optics.
CC: Apollo 7, Houston through Carnarvon. Stand- ing by.
CDR: I am Rlmost tempted to do the marks in the telescope. The _,mn thing's jumping around so much.
CMP: Okay. You dirty bastard, you ran off again.
CMP: Okay. Got it?
CMP: Is that your first or your second one now?
CMP: Is that your last one? Recently? Okay. All right.
CC: 7, i minute LOS; Guam in 7 minutes.
CDR: Roger. Coming up the pike.
CMP: Okay, we're performing our - -
CMP: - - midcourse and we're calculating for a minute and a half. I do have Orion, Wally, and think if we go on up, he'11 come right up in your window when you get up there. Now, this thing never did pull it back into sextant, and it got it in within a couple of degrees in the telescope. That's about as good as it did, so I don't know what the hell - and the problem with the backup solution is that all I can see is the d_m_ flashing lights, and they are all over the place, and it's Just hard to, you know, say what's the middle of the booster. Okay.
CMP: Oh, sob' Hey, we're in'. Look at that: 0.07' I can't believe it. Okay, alright, let me do the procedure. Call up hl Just for the hell iof it - not for the hell of it, but Just to see what it can tell us.
CMP: That's great. Look at that.
CMP: No,- nothing.
CMP: That's right. · r
CDR: The last midcourse requires no correction.
CC: Real fine news.
CMP: Okay, don't - don't do any more thrusting because I'm going to POO, and it's - it's on to you, Wally, and I think if you pitch down to-
CMP: What was our last angle, Walt?
CMP: Okay, so if you pitch down to about 63, it ought to be there (laughter). I hope the hell it is.
CMP: It's going to be bright. It's flashing, and it's erratic, and sometimes it's weak, and sometimes it almost blinds you. I don't know - it must be moving around. Well, I can't do much down here. I might as well.
CMP: Okay, Wally, I'11 bring the whole thing up there. There you go.
CMP: Okay. Boy: I can tell we're -
CMP: Wow: (Laughter)
CMP: About -
CDR: Apollo 7 coming right on up the pike.
UNKNOWN: Boy' What a trauma. Jesus Christ' What would you do -
LMP: I see it ...
CMP: You know, if you could - okay.
CMP: You are 2.7 miles by the DSKY and 31.8 clos- ing. I don't really believe that.
CMP: I'11 - I'm very suspect of this DSKY solution,
CMP: No, wait a minute, that's right. That's bleed- off.
CMP: Okay. 24-1/2
CMP: About down. You are going to screw it up.
CMP: I hope we hit some daylight, for Christ's
CDR: No, no, but - -
CMP: Okay, you're 29 feet per second closing, according to this. How big is he in your scope?
LMP: Okay. You can go DAP if you want to.
CMP: We're about to start. And let me get the program 47 - or 50, please.
CMP: Okay. Yes, you want a theta? See if he's on, I'11 get it for you; coming up. Okay, I got 88.6. Is he in the middle, Wally?
CMP: Okay, then add one, Walt, because your sex- tant's a little off. No, subtract one, I guess you would. The hell'with it! What the G&N is at this point doesn't matter - you're close enough to the line, It's Just V going to - which way? Rotating, yes.
CMP: Wait a minute. Okay. Boy, we didn't get that! It won't matter. It doesn't matter; assume it'11 Just cost a little more; 47 hasn't come up yet, so if you want to get it all in - why - no. But that's all that you need, and hell, throw it in. We can estimate what you're shooting - what you're shooting here. It's okay. You can go now anytime. Yes. Either one. It matters not. Okay. It migh_ be easier on SCS: you won't have to flip so many switches. Okay, he burned about a half a foot a seeond,.right, Walt?
UNKNOWN: '_CMP Yes, okay.
CMP: · Well, we're fatter than a hog right here; we've got more DELTA-V than we can - well, so far, we've only used about 24. So, you're going to have about - What's that? I hope they'11 he coming to daylight pretty quick. Hold it there for your DELTA-V's. Okay. 1-1/2
CDR: I'd say miles.
CMP: Your - your DELTA - your - yo,mr - the DSKY solution at this point is - is fine. It's 23 feet per second, closing at a mile and six tenths out and that should bleed off to about - well, it Just popped to 22, so I don't know which one's right, but we're - we're beating the zone and here comes daylight, thank God. Well, you may - (Laughter)
CMP: Well, okay. Daylight with 2 feet left. It's i degree - -
CC: Apollo 7, Houston through Guam. Standing by.
CMP: - 1 degree. You're better off ...
CMP: Okay, go SCS and we'11 - huh? SCS is too sloppy? Why don't you turn down MIN DEADBAND? Well, you're not going to save enough from here on in to matter, I don't think.
LMP: (Laughter)
CMP: How big is he? Can you get a measurement on the diameter? Oh. Now - you mean he's whirling around. Yes. Can you? If you could - if you can Just get a gross hack, . like - is it a degree or a tenth or - okay. Okay, you better take off some. I'd take off so far - about 5 feet a second. Yes.
CMP: Just check it off. I got it on the - on the outfit here ... Well, okay. You don't have to take it all off then if he's not half a degree. Okay. Maybe we should take the stop on ... Okay. You didn't pull off the whole 5, did you? Okay. Alright. You mind if I reach over and Jeer at that DELTA-V meter for you now and then? That'11 help me, too. Okay. Fine.
CMP: What did he - if he's a degree, you better start pulling off. Okay. You better pull some off because he's coming in pretty quick. I'd pull off at least 5 more.
CMP: He's not a degree yet. Okay, even if he's a degree, he's 1200 feet. Now I'm talking the diameter, not the SLA panel. Good enough. Okay. Okay. Okay, you better pull some more I'd say pull off about 8. Yes. So make it 13 on your dial. Yes. I wish I could see him (laughter). Okay. Okay, I think it's
CMP: This is it. Yes. 123 degrees (laughter). Where the hell is he? I'm going to sneak up and look. Maybe I can see him now. Yes, I can. You're in good shape. You're still quite a ways out. Well, from here on it's Just drifting in. What is it, about a degree in your scope or a little bigger than that? Okay. Well.
CMP: Yes, ... in a while.
CMP: No. I don't know. You've been watching. I can't tell if it's drifting or not ...
LMP: I wouldn't worry about _t. You're in good shape.
LMP: This says 37 feet per second. I don't know whether that's right or not. That's NOUN 40.
CMP: Okay. Yes. I figure the - if this thing's right, you got - you're up to that.
CMP: Well, what the hell is it doing? It keeps integrating all the time.
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. 1 minute LOS Guam; Hawaii in 8 minutes.
CDR: Roger. We're closing - we're about 700 feet, and we're Just about locked up inertially.
CC: Real fine, Wally.
CDR: Looks like we used between 50 and 60 feet per second at this point, but we're Just essentially holding station, moving in slow.
CC: Real fine.
CMP: You - I don't - i -
UNKNOWN: Hell, I don't know what I have frankly because these Goddamn numbers are Jumping around on that DSKY like I've never seen it before. And I never do believe NOUN 40 because that son of a bitch sits there and integrates when there's nothing going on. So - I guess I'11 have to eat my hat on that comment about - -
CDR: What were we calculating?
LMP: We could in the simulator, however - -
CMP: However, today it's Just all over the lot.
CMP: I think I got most of it - we were pitching left and right there, and I couldn't quite keep up with - and I got one big one in here, 12 feet a second, I don't believe, because I don't think you ever burned that long in one direction.
CMP: Great. This is - hey, dad! You got to find what film?
CMP: A-men! It's really in now .... really rolling (laughter).
CMP: That's why it's so hard to see, you know. Sometimes those lights get you right in the face and the next time they don't even flash.
CMP: (Laughter) Hey. Break out the champagne, God damn it, we made itl
CDR: Right, I have a whole cup of coffee to cele- brate that mother!
CMP: Yes. Get some 16's of that dude going around. That's great. That's a wild bomber, isn't it?
CMP: I need a drink (laughter).
CMP: How would you feel over there if that were a little bitty thing about 10 feet across and there were two guys in it? With no radar?
CMP: Hub?
CMP: Outstanding. Okay, watch it. He's coming in pretty fast. (Laughter)
CMP: I would say, Murphy, that you done made a rendezvous, or we done made a rendezvous. And we done stabilized it. Looks pretty good. See? Yes, I think that's close enough in ...
LMP: I wan% to record on tape, it looks like all four SLA panels are equally deployed now.
CMP: Yes, and - she's still coming at us.
LMP: (Laughter) Just at you!
LMP: Looks pretty sturdy to me.
CMP: I think on this fuel budget I'm Just going to take this ... number for what it's worth, and use whatever PIPA bias is built in there.
CMP: Okay. 20. 21.
CDR: She's coming up on
CMP: Okay, Wally. You've used about 80. I guess we'd better knock off, huh? If we can get her stabilized and sit there, fine. If not, I guess we'd better shove off.
CMP: Well, we're not very far. You've got 200 or 300 feet, maybe.
CMP: Well, I don't know, I can't tell from where I'm sitting. How big is it in the sextant - in the reticle there, Wally?
CMP: Does he fill it? Is he - 10 degrees. Okay, he's about 120 feet, Wslt. I gave you a bum steer.
CMP: Nice Job, Walt.
LMP: ... 10 degrees.
CMP: Yes, look at that.
CMP: No, your m_dcourse solution saved our ass. DSKY If we'd burned that solution, which I wouldn't have believed anyway, but if we'd p J . . , i · burned that midcourse on the DSKY we would not probab/y up - slid in there at night.
CMP: You didn't have any up until now, did you?
CMP: No, I mean at the end there. You didn't do any Z at all hardly. about right, too. We were pretty close to nominal.
CMP: What - what time is it? Well, the time was
UNKNOWN: C_P Yes. ...
CDR: You look like Hey early, gang.
CMP: (Laughter) we're 2 minutes (Laughter)
UNKNOWN: CMP 29:57. No, actualIy- with the TPI on here. We were Just about on the nominal. I - I'd Judge we've been here about 5 minutes station- keeping.
CMP: (Laughter) Okay. 19 and .
CMP: Okay. I'm going to have to say we used about - well, if I believe this NOUN kO, which I
UNKNOWN: believe NO_L_ 40 because, according to the word I got, that thing inte-
CMP: Oh - -
CMP: ... Isn't that pretty? That thing - -
UNKNOWN: CC Apollo 7, Nouston over Hawaii.
CMP: Go, man. Day 2 lb5 ,!
CDR: Roger, we're in station with it. About 150 out. It's - and tumbling in almost any random direction.
CC: Roger. Understand.
LMP: It looks like the fourth SLA panel finally deployed fully.
CC: We got some poor COMM this time, Walt. We'11 stand by a little bit until we get in a little closer.
CDR: Roger. Do you understand we are in station- keeping with the S-IVB?
CMP: I guess he doesn't (laughter).
CC: Roger, we copy stationkeeping.
CDR: He did. Good.
CMP: Wow!
CDR: Loud and clear, Jack. Go.
CC: Okay. You're real fine now, Walt. We have Just switched to S-band.
CMP: ... we had a DSKY solution of 3.6 to the midcourse. Walt had a 1.7 solution on his charts, and we split the difference and did 2 feet per second aft that slid us right in there, and exeep% for s little bit of cross-point corrections that Wally had to make a% the tail end, we were nominal, right up the pike. According to NOUN hO guesstima_es of fuel used, we've used about 70 - 60 feet per second. However, NOUN hO integra%es velocity when you are not thrusting, so I think we used somewhat less than that, prob- ably on the order of 60 _o 65 feet per second.
CC: Roger, copy that.
LMP: On your PCM high data, we had a loss of contact with the S-IVB Just prior to TPI, and in the confusion here, I didn't get a HIGH BIT RATE data. The TPI burn we had a high bit data on the midcourse burn and final RCS thrusting on in.
CC: Okay, copy that.
CC: Walt, I have your separation pad whenever you are ready to copy that.
LMP: Wait 1.
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. How close are you now?
CDR: Pretty close. We're about 70 feet. It's tumbling rather wildly, so we're trying to stay away from it.
CC: We understand.
LMP: Ready to copy, Jack. Go.
CC: Okay, separation pad 030, 20 - -
LMP: ... if it's big enough to ...
CC: At your first ... turns out from lift-off until Canaries then because the rewind and everything, we do not have that on voice.
LMP: You don't have that, huh?
LMP: Okay, when we get the tape back, we'11 probably try to put some on it.
CC: Okay. /
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. We're about - we're close to LOS, and you're going to have the tape back. We're Just about finished on the rendezvous dump.
LMP: Roger, thank you. We Just finished chlorinat- ing the water again.
CC: Apollo 7, this is Houston. We have acquisition at Redstone.
CMP: Roger, Houston. Loud and clear.
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. We have i minute to LOS Redstone.
CDR: Roger. We got it.
LMP: At about 38, 8 minutes and 30 seconds, I spotted a satellite passing through the Southern Cross - at varying degrees.
LMP: I observed it by reflected light.
CDR: Houston, 7. Standing by.
CC: Roger. Read you about 4 by, Wally.
CDR: Roger, we're reading you weak, too.
CDR: That's the time ...
CC: Roger. Well, we're about i minute to LOS Ascension, Wally. And we'11 catch you next time over the Pacific.
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. ,'j.
LMP: At 38 hours 48 minutes into the flight, _e_re taking color pictures Over Africa; magazine Q. These are up around frame 6. There's a beautiful shot of a crater. It might he Tabol.
LMP: At 38:50:35, got another picture of Africa. It's ...
LMP: LMP took one Actifed at 39 hours into the flight.
LMP: Houston, Apollo 7. How do you read?
LMP: Roger, reading you 5 square. How me?
CC: We read. I have block data to give you over Guam in lO minutes - about 5 minutes.
LMP: Roger, block data over Guam. LOS. 0662,
CDR: Roger, understand. I'11 read back later, then.
CC: Apollo 7, Houston. Acquisition Canary.
LMP: Roger, Houston.
CDR: This is CDR with ATC high light. I suspect the same problem we had earlier. Except that I hadn't had time to ...
CDR: Alright.
CMP: Time, 41:34; I'd like to record the results of the P23 sextant calibration test. On this test I used Canopus as the bright star and Rigel as the dim star. Unfortunately, there wasn't any third star within the field of view of Canopus, but I Just went ahead and put Canopus at the center reticles for the only other star we could get to, and that's Rigel. I started the P23 as per checklist, and ... The only comment I have is that it's a rather tedious, time- consuming, and fuel-costly procedure, and the benefits we gain by it, I don:t think, Justify it.
CMP: The trunnion bias check: when it was first displayed, NOUN 87 - P23 came up with 00000.
CMP: The second NOUN 87 which is the shaft and trunnion one - I had the two stars super- imposed - was plus 29188, plus 1764 - cor- rection plus 1767L. The time was L1 hours 2_ minutes into the flight.
CMP: At hl hours 37 minutes, I'd like to record a fecal elimination. It took place about LO:LS. My experience is about the same as Cunningham's. not It's too bad, if you take your time. I did Strip down, took underwear off to do it. It's a process of hooking - reconnecting the BIOMED afterwards. I could only get one of the little screw-in plugs to stay up.
CMP: Houston, go.
