CDR: Roger. Be standing by.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15, Houston. Over.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15. We've succeeded in using up the last of the film in the pan camera. You may now go to PAN CAMERA MODE, STANDBY; and, after 1 minute, PAN CAMERA POWER, OFF, per step 6. Over.
CDR: Okay, understand. PAN CAMERA to STANDBY, and i minute, OFF.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15, Houston. We're going to take down the network line here for 20 seconds. We'11 be back up with you after that.

CDR: Houston, 15. Go ahead. we're requesting that you not maneuver to PTC until the SIM bay covers are closed. I don't know whether they're closed at the moment or not.
CDR: Roger. They're closed up.
CC: Understand. And if you fellows - -
CDR: We're Just following down through the Flight Plan. Good.
CC: We weren't sure where you were. If you fellows are through eating, we have two or three calls to send up to you, when it's convenient.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. You can go to T-stop for the mapping camera now. And that would be - to follow the checklist from pages 1-39, steps - sections 6, 7, and 8; first one being MAPPING CAMERA, ON, to OFF, 30 seconds, and then STANDBY. Over.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. Go.
CMP: Houston, 15. Okay - -
CC: Apollo - -
CMP: - - Listen, Bob. Is this the T-stop on the mapping photo pad camera at 224:107
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15, that's a Roger.
CDR: Okay, Houston. Go with the rest of the updates to the Flight Plan,
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. Roger. We - want to remind you, when you go into PC - TC, to follow the block in the Flight Plan for the usage of quads, rather than the section in - in the checklist where it calls out to disable all Jets on two adjacent quads. This is to avoid contami- nation of the mass spec. It's Just to remind you to follow that little box in the Flight Plan. Over.
CDR: You mean that little box on page 3-343?
CDR: Okay. We'11 follow that little box Just like it's in the Flight Plan. Go ahead with your - the rest of your updates.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Roger. On - one discussion here on the UV photos which we're delaying until after the EVA, it looks like the last chance to get these photos is at 246:15, which is about 3 or 4 hours after the nominal end of the EVA. We'd like to propose that for your consideration. Over.
CDR: That's Just fine. We'11 do it, 246:15. Thank you.
CDR: Okay, Bob. Do you have anything else to add to the Flight Plan?
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. Roger. One more item we Just got is a request that now that the covers on the X-ray are closed, we're requesting X-RAY, ON, for 10 minutes and then OFF. Over.
CDR: Okay. X-RAY, ON, for 10 minutes and then OFF.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15, the posit - the last posi- _-_ tion should be STANDBY rather than OFF. Over.
CDR: Okay, Houston. The X-RAY is ON, and we'11 turn. it OFF in 10 minutes. Anything else? Tape1_7/3
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. That's a STANDBY in minutes· understand 10 I believe you that, Dave, anyway. And I believe that the next - -
CC: - - thing we will want from you is a call when you're ready to go to sleep. And we will verify all systems at that time so we can get a solid goodnight, rather than tagging on again like last night.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston· We see you cycling through the DAP. We suggest you need a zero in B/D R 2 to get roll. Over.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15, go.
CMP: Hey, Bob, you didn't update the - arrange the load in the P20 for PTC· Was that meant to be updated to .375, or shall we leave it at .35?
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15, let's keep it at .375.
CMP: Understand you want the Flight Plan updated to ·375.
CMP: Roger. Th8_k you. We got the update.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. Go ahead.
CMP: Yes, Bob. We're trying to retract the mapping camera. But the time has been well exceeded, and we still have the barber pole indication.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15, we'd Just as soon you didn't spin up quite yet. We still think the rates are a little high. Over.
CMP: Okay, Houston. We'11 wait on your cue then.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. Concerning the mapping camera retraction problem, the question Alpha/ is, did you get a barber pole during the X-ray cover procedure? Over.
LMP: You ought to amplify your question there a little bit, Bob. You mean when we are - operating the covers?
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. Jim, the question basically is, did the barber pole - did the talk- back function properly when you Just closed the Alpha/X-ray covers? Over.
LMP: Yes, Dave said it works fine.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. Jim, stand by on that. We got your last answer, and they're working on it.
LMP: Okay. I think I'11 take the - go out of the RETRACT position on the switch and Just wait for your word.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15, that sounds good to me, Jim.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. We'd like to hold off on PTC a little bit longer until we get this mapping camera business straightened out. And, Jim, for some troubleshooting on this, we'd like to have you check on panel 181 the MAIN A circuit breaker, closed, and the DEPLOY/RETRACT switch in the RETRACT position. And on panel 278, the DEPLOY MAIN A circuit breaker, closed. Over.
LMP: Those two circuit breakers and the switches are verified, Bob, closed.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15, copy.
UNKNOWN: on the presleep checklist: Been no medication today. Onboard readouts are BAT C, 37; pyro BAT A, 37.3; pyro BAT B, 37.3. On the RCS, it's 56, 55, 54, and 55. And I guess, after we get PTC squared away, we'11 give you E-memory dump. 1_7/5 Tape
UNKNOWN: 15, Apollo 15; Copy the crew And status and the onboard readout. stand by on the E-MOD_ we may ask you for that before PTC, but we'11 be back with you on that in a minute.
CDR: Roger. Un - unless you got a solution for the camera now, why don't we troubleshoot it in the morning and get on with our evening powerdown. Okay?
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. That's a Roger. We've Just come to that conclusion ourselves down here. We're ready for an E-MOD dump before the start of PTC, please.
CDR: Okay. It's on the way,
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. One last attempt on the mapping camera. We suggest you try MAPPING CAMERA doors, OPEN, then RETRACT, and then doors, CLOSE, if successful on the retract. And you can do that while - after YOu start up PTC, if you like.
CDR: Roger. We've already attempted to do that, Bob.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. Roger. You're ahead of Building _5. And, Apollo 15, Apollo 15, we have a good E-MOD dump.
CDR: Houston, 15. How do the rates look now?
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. Your rates look good. You're GO for PTC.
CDR: Okay. We'11 try.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Houston. As soon as you configure the MASS SPEC -- MULTIPLIER, LOW; DISCRIMINATOR, LOW; EXPERIMENT, ON; I0N SOURCE, ON; et cetera --you're GO for sleep. Then, no more comments from the ground until morning.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15, Houston is out for the _-_ evening.
CDR: Don't go too far out, though.
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15, our ever watchful eye will be on you while you sleep.
CMP: Houston, 15 .... initial rates ...
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15; Nouston. You called Just as we lost and locked onto the heigh - onto the OMNI.
CMP: Okay, Bob. Just wanted to know how the initial rates of FTC looked?
CC: Apollo 15, Apollo 15, initial rates look good. We'11 be keeping an eye on it though for you, Al.
CMP: Okay, Bob. It Just didn't look like I got quite entered as much rate when I on that as I expected.
UNKNOWN: Houston, 15. Go.
CC: Roger, 15. Would you believe that we have one more call on the pan camera? We - do not show PAN CAMERA POWER to off, please, and unfortunately, that means that we might heat up the film too much. So we would like PAN CAMERA POWER to off. And, guys, as long as you're down there, would you mind trying MAPPING CAMERA, R,'DHACT, once more? 15, we see a certain rise in temperature there which may mean that it was frozen; it'11 improve. And we do not see any - the mass spec configuration yet. And a progres s report on _our PTC says it's about 60 40, but - but it'11 - it will last the night.
CMP: Houston, it doesn't look like the mapping camera is going to come back in. What's the problem if it's left out?
CC: 15, Houston. Would you believe we've Just deter- mined that it doesn't seem to be a problem if it stays out overnight.
LMP: Great. Then I guess we can call it quits for tonight. Okay?
CC: I sure hope so.
CDR: (Laughter) Okay .... - -
CC: 15, we don't have TM on you right now.' Is the mass spec taken care of?
CDR: Roger. The mass spec's taken care of. There's one switch out of position. And the MAPPING CAMERA is going to go to OFF.
CC: Roger. Copied, Dave. We'11 try again.
CC: Apollo 15, Houston. In the blind, no need to reply. Our PAN CAMERA data still shows POWER, on. This is the middle switch in the bottom row. The POWER BOOST switch should be in the center off position. No need to reply. Over. Page 1B75 REST PERIOD - NO COMMUNICATIONS APOLLO 15 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CC: Good morning, Endeavour. This is Apollo Control in Houston, Texas, tuning the band. Over.
CDR: Good morning, tuning the band. This is Endeavour. Go.
CC: Roger. Good morning, Endeavour. This is Houston with CSM consumables and a few good words about your Flight Plan, when you're ready.
CDR: Just stand by 1
CC: Okay, Dave. And you troops sure start the day early up there, I must say.
CDR: Yes, seems that way, doesn't it?
CDR: Okay, Houston. We've located the Flight Plan. Go ahead with your updates.
CC: Endeavour, this is Houston. Were you calling?
CDR: Roger, Joe. We've located the Flight Plan. Go ahead with your updates.
CC: Okay, Dave. I guess, let me start with the CSM consumables. At 235 plus BO, RCS total, hl; quad A: 43, h0, 38, _l; H2 t_-k 1, 41; _0, 36; 02 tank l, 56; 58, _5. fLnd the only _mmediate other thing I have for you, Dave, is a comment on the maneuver at 236 hours - about the ga.,*_aray boom retract. We'd like for you to confirm - I'11 be back when ...
CDR: Last I heard was g_ma ray. Go ahead.
CC: Okay. The rest of that mysterious transmission is essentially the following, Dave. We've got a funny in that gamma ray experiment, and - so we're going to - to want to modify the use of it a little the Flight Plan calls out for the gamma ray boom to be retracted at 236 hours. We'd like to modify that by saying, turn the GAINSTEP, SHIELD OFF, at that time, and we'11 want you to retract it about 10 minutes later. We'11 give you a cue for that. Over.
CDR: Okay. GAINSTEP, SHIELD OFF, at 236 and stand by for your cue for retraction.
CC: That's correct, Dave. I've got a few other good things here, but there's no hurry on any of them. Be willing to stand by, if you wanted to get squared away and give me a call later, or whatever you'd like to do. It's your preference.
CDR: Well, let's go ahead, Joe. We're getting squared away up here.
CC: Okay. If you have the Flight Plan then, let me add the following. At 236 plus 45, add the step, "X-RAY to ON." And then turning over several -' pages - -
CDR: Roger. 236:45; X-RAY, ON.
CC: Okay. And turning over several pages to 241 plus 25.
CC: Roger. After the step, "02 HEATERS l, 2, and 3 to AUTO," add "02 TANKS i and 2, 50 WATT HEATERS, MAIN B, 2, to open."
CDR: Okay. 241:25; 02 RI_ATER - or 02 TANK i and 2, 50 WATT HEATERS, MAIN B to open, and 02 TANK HEATER - They're 50 WATT also? MAIN A_i, open? _
CC: Stand by, Dave. I'm sorry about this one. Stand by.
CC: Okay, Endeavour. Let me try that again. Had a typographical error down here. It should read Tape "02 TANK 1, 50 WATT HEATER, MAIN B, l, open;" and "02 TANKS 2 and 3, 50 WATT HEATERS, MAIN A, 2, open." Over.
CDR: Okay. 02 TANK l, 50 WATT HEATER, MAIN B, l, open; and TANKS 2 and 3, 50 WATT HEATERS, MAIN A, 2, open.
CC: That's correct, Dave. I apologize for the slow start there. Now I've got some DAP load changes that cover the times from about 2_7 hours to 252 hours. And - the change is apparently because of a mis - of a mistake in the Flight Plan you have on board that we, in the meantime, have caught down here. And - so there are several deletions and additions during that time. The first one starts at 2_7 plus 28.
CDR: Go ahead. I've got it.
CC: Okay. Delete your VERB 48, 11111 and Xllll, and add - Stand by a second.
CDR: That's twice.
LMP: CC I'11 be very careful from here on. Stand by.
CC: Okay, D.R. i,m ready to try it again. You've deleted at 247:28 the line with all the funny number ones, and you're suppose to delete in the DAP load coll,m_ also that same entry. It's in the I guess. And then turn the page. time collmmn,
CC: Okay. Go to 248 hours, on the next page, and in the note coll-,n, change the DAP load status to read 11101. And the rest is the same. And this DAP load status continues through the PTC until 251 hours. And the next change is at 251 hours and 4 minutes.
CDR: Okay. 251:0_, and I got the other three changes. Go ahead.
CC: Okay. Delete the VERB _8 line and the DAP load over in the time colm_mn there.
CC: And the next change is at 251:47. Delete the VERB 48 line and the DAP load in its corresponding time coll,m_.
CDR: Okay. And I guess over in the notes column, we're still carrying 11101. Right?
CC: That's affirmative, Dave. And starting at 252 hours, your DAP load status should read 111 - Stand by.
CC: Okay. Let me try again. Starting - -
CC: Okay. Starting at 252 plus 00 hours, in the notes coD,mn, the DAP load status should read lll01 times llll. And this should be carried through the rest period until 261 hours. Over.
CDR: Okay, Joe. You were saying something there about 252:30, as we lost cow,,. I got the entry at 252:00. Was there any change at 252:30?
CC: Negative, Dave. The change at 252:00 should just be continued through until 261 hours. And that's Just the DAP - DAP load status - should be changed correspondingly through until that time.
CDR: Okay. I see. And then we're - we're Just 11101 all the way.
CDR: Okay. Go ahead on your next.
CC: Dave, that's all I've got for the time being. And I think I'd be afraid to go ahead much further, if you're really counting those times. Maybe I -_ should start keeping score on you as well.
CC: We're happy for the time being. We're - we're standing by for a crew status report at your convenience. And we'11 be watching for the GAINSTEP SHIELD to come OFF.
CDR: Okay. We'11 get right back with you in about 5 or 10.
CC: Endeavour, this is Houston. We'd like for you to retract the gamma ray boom for us, please, and we'11 be watching for your torquing angles. Also, if you'd like some news reporting in the background, I have the morning news here, if you're interested in that at all. Over.
CDR: Roger. GAMMA RAY going to RETRACT now, and stand by on the news.
CC: Okay. Roger. You can use that as background for the P52, I guess. President Nixon in effect declared U.S. responsibility for offensive ground- combat operations in Vietnam at sm end. With the draft still in limbo, Selective Service went ahead today with the lottery to determine the order in which next year's 19-year-olds will face military service. Secretary of State William P. Rogers plans to go to the United Nat - Nations to push for a more energetic international relief effort for East Pakistan today. The Senate Armed Services Commlttee completed action on a 21 billion dollar military buying bill that meets most Nixon Admin- istration weapons requests. President Nixon and his f,m_ly will fly to Manchester, New Hampshire, and then to a private island in Maine this weekend, when visits to New Hampshire also are planned by four Democratic presidential hopefuls and Republican challenger Rep - Paul N. McClosky, Jr. Predicted weather for recovery day is 2000 feet scattered, 10 miles vis, and waves approaching 6 feet. Wind is north by northeast, 18 knots. I have a long list of baseball scores here, which I think I'11 Just glance over. In the American League, New York beat Cleveland 7 to 3. I've had a local request for the Dodgers, who lost to the Astros 2 to 0. The American Classic Golf Tournament starts today at the Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. And the win- ner will get $30 000 dollars. Sounds to me like the pay's pretty good, and I expect the hours are short. The U.S. Pan American Team went on a fantastic Gold Medal spree yesterday, winning 17 - rather 16 of the 17 medals at stake. The only one the Americans escaped getting was a Gold Medal in weight lifting. And the total in the games, which are being held in Colombia, is 78 for the United States, 36 of them gold, and 51 for Cuba, 12 of them are gold. And I'11 end with a story comparable only to that incredible contest between the Apollo 15 All Stars and the North American Rockets. Last night in the Texas League, 21-year-old right-hander Tom Walker, pitching for Dallas-Fort Worth team, pitched a 15-inning, no-run, no-hit game against Albuquerque. He retired the last 21 men in a row. Only four Albuquerque players got on base, and all of them were on walks. Walker got the first 18 batters out before he walked the first one. He threw 153 pitches in the game, and the no-hitter is an all- time record in the Texas League and may very well be an alltime record in Major League Baseball. Walker's manager told him that if he did not win the game by the end of 15th inning, he was going to have to pull him out. Walker said his arm felt a little tired, but he felt okay, understandably. Like doing three EVAs I expect. And that's all the news for - for this morning. 153/1 Tape
CDR: Boy! It sounds like he's as good as our very own linky.
CC: That may well be, Dave. I - That never occurred to me.
CC: At least the equal thereof.
CDR: Roger. At least almost.
CC: Endeavour, we've copied the torquing angles. Thank you. And, Dave, if you can get a volunteer to work on the mapping camera for us, we'd like to try to pull that mapping camera in and get the covers closed in preparation for the EVA. We're not quite sure the position that the camera's in right now and the procedure I'11 - can read up step by step, but it's basically to open the covers, try to extend the camera, we'11 confirm the extension, and then we'11 have you retract the camera and ultimately retract the covers. And I'11 be stand- lng by for your advice on this. Over.
CDR: Okay, Joe. We'11 see if we have time to work on that. But it's my understanding we do not have to have it retracted for the EVA.
CC: Dave, that's my understanding, too. I think - the main reason - for wanting to do this if time is available and it's o - and it's only - would be a nicety - would be it - gives us a warm feeling regarding the film.
CC: Dave, just to complete that last statement, you're correct. We don't have to have that device re- tracted for the EVA. But, apparently, it - it gives the film people a nice feeling regarding their film not getting too cold or too hot. That's the reason for that.
CDR: Okay. Well, let us see if we can get to it.
CC: Roger. Just give a whistle.
CDR: Okay. And we sort of flip-flopped that P23 and eat period so that we could take advantage of our setup for eating and all. And we'11 get on with P23 as soon as we finish breakfast.
CC: Apollo 15, this is Houston. All other things being equal, Troops, we'd prefer that you do the P23 before you begin the eat period, because it gives us an hour of pointed X-ray data during your eat period.
CDR: Okay, Joe; but I guess the inequality is the stowage situation in here and assuring that we can get properly prepared for the EVA. So - we'11 start the P23 in probably about - oh - 5 minutes or so, because we're almost through eating. But we sort of have to take advantage of our configuration here in order to stay with the time line iater on.
CC: That's fine, Dave. We understand. Thank you.
CC: Roger, I've got some information about your mid- course 5, which is scheduled to come up here. We have a firm decision that there will not be a mid- course 5 maneuver required, and the numbers behind that are a G-mrna of minus 6.69; your vacuum perigee is 18.4, and the midcourse 5 correction that we're showing now would be 3/10ths of a foot per second. The corresponding midcourse 7 correction runs at about 1.8 feet per second. And, based on that new information, we're wondering if you're still inter- ested in doing the UV photography at its scheduled time or waiting until after the - the EVA. And we're also wondering what your choice will be on the solar corona photography. Over.
CDR: Okay. That's pretty fantastic guidance, isn't it? Let us - take another look at the Flight Plan here and come right back at you.
CC: Okay, Dave; fine. And no hurry on - on the - on that decision. We would like the GAMMA RAY STEP SHIELD, on, now, please.
CMP: Okay. GAMMA RAY GAINSTEP, on.
CDR: And, Joe, I guess on the corona photography mag R has been ex - expended. And as far as the UV, it's not so much a problem of time. It's a prob- lem of stowage. It's stowed way down deep in one of Endeavour's lockers here; and to get at it re- quires quite a bit of manipulation of bags. And that's the reason we wanted to delay that if it was possible.
CC: Okay, Dave. We understand that. And that - that sounds like it's a far more reason - reasonable to delay that. The timing's not critical as far as we're concerned. We just wanted to give you a balanced workday.
CDR: Okay; fine. We don't mind loading up a little after the EVA, because it really saves us a lot of work in the long run. And you might wonder why we didn't put - the UV stuff somewhere else, but there's Just nowhere else to put it but in its - in its own proper little spot.
CC: No, we understand. Thank you.
CDR: Okay. Have a crew status report for you, and you can have the doctor take a look at the LMP BIO and see if that's acceptable.
CDR: Ready to copy?
CDR: Okay. Seven hours sleep apiece, and PRDs 25028, 23193, 08031.
CC: Okay, Dave; thank you. And we see that we've got the X-ray going. We'd like for you to change the setting on the gainstep. Give us a one-click in- crease, which will move us from - the position 7 back to position 1. Over. _
CDR: Okay. You've got a one-click increase.
CC: Okay. We see it, Dave, and Jim's BIO looks clean to us down here. Thank you.
CDR: Okay. GAMMA RAY
CC: Endeavour, give us six clicks on the GAIN switch, please.
CMP: Okay. Six clicks.
CC: Roger, Dave. A couple of miscellaneous items I'd like to ask you about. First of all, the trench sends their congratulations to whoever's doing the P23 for us. The errors are less than 7 Sigma - and they're awarding the honorary Vasco da Gama Navigation Award for excellence in this. Secondly, we're puzzling over your remark about magazine Romeo, which you reported to us was exhausted. And we're wondering if you Just read - the frame number f_om the MAG and, if so, what it read. Over.
CMP: Yes. Joe, this is Al. The last reading on Romeo, I think, was ll0.
CC: Okay, Al. Thank you. And were you doing the P23's for us?
CMP: Si.
CC: Okay. I'11 tell you a little something about Vasco da Gama later on. Another easy item here, you're going to come up on a BAT charge - I guess BAT B charge - starting at 239 hours, and we'd like to delay that to 244 hours, please.
CDR: Okay. Delay the BAT B charge to 244. And be advised - you've got to know that we've got the best navigator in tranBearth lunar space up here.
CC: At least one of them, I'm sure.
CDR: In fact, the only one.
CC: Roger. We copy. And, finally, I'd like to get a volunteer to take a whack at this - configuring the map camera properly. And it's going to be a few short steps, and if it works, great; we'11 have a lot of good engineering data regarding the thermal properties of that beauty. And if it doesn't work, we're Just going to turn it off and leave it. And - when somebody's ready to do that, I'11 go through the steps. There're not too many.
CDR: Okay, Joe; somebody'il be ready in Just a few minutes.
CC: Roger. Thank you, Dave.
CDR: Okay, Houston; Endeavour. If you want to try your camera techniques again, let's give it a whirl.
CC: Okay, Endeavour. I've got five steps here, and I think it's easiest for me just to read them to you and have you carry them out rather than copy- ing them down. And the first one - first two steps - -
CC: - - on panel 181, verify LOGIC POWER MAIN A cir- cuit breaker, closed.
CDR: Okay, verified.
CC: And same panel, verify LOGIC POWER switches, two DEPLOY/RETRACT. of them, to
CC: Step 3 on panel 278, the EXPERIMENT COVERS DEPLOY circuit breaker MAIN A to closed.
CDR: Verified. Closed.
CC: Step 4, on panel 230, the MAP CAMERA, verify STANDBY.
CDR: Verified to STANDBY.
CC: Okay, and coming up on step 5 and let me read through this - and - I'11 stand by for questions then, if there are some. We want the MAP CAMERA TRACK to EXTEND; and, simultaneously, we want the EXPER/MENT COVER MAP CAMERA/LASER ALTIMETER to OPEN, and we want those two things done simul- taneously.
CDR: Okay. Understand. Go to EXTEND and open the COVERS, MAP CAMERA/LASER simultaneously.
CC: Roger. And a note on that - I guess - on the MAP CAMERA TRACK to EXTEND, we'11 be watching that for about between 4 and 5 minutes or until you get a gray talkback on there. And - we think this is going to clear up our problem and if it doesn't, we're Just going to turn the whole ball of wax off and go ahead and do the EVA as normally planned. Over.
CDR: Okay, Joe. In 3 seconds, we'11 execute.
CC: Roger, Dave. We're watching.
CDR: Well, I got a gray on the mapping camera. How about that?
CC: Dave, do you have a gray on the door as well?
CDR: That's affirmative, but I did not get a barber pole on the door. It just stayed gray.
CC: Okay; that's good. That just means that it was open already.
CC: Okay. Then that - that's worked out fine. Apparently we were having a temperatue prob- lem with that thing before, and we're back in business Just like normal. We'd like now the MAPPING CAMERA TRACK to RETRACT, and that '11 take I guess about 4 and a half minutes.
CDR: Okay. MAP CAMERA TRACK going to RETRACT now.
CC: Endeavour, this is Houston. Be advised that be- cause we're not going to do a midcourse 5, we'11 continue the X-ray pointing to about 238 plus 30, and we'11 be cc_ing at you with a list of the steps at 238 hours that you can delete because we're not doing the midcourse.
CC: And, Dave, could - could you have someone check the barber pole on our MAP CAMERA, TRACK, to see if you have the gray-RETRACT indication, please?
CDR: Roger, Joe, I been watching it. You got about 7 minutes and 20 - 20 seconds now and it's still barber pole.
CC: Okay, that's what we're showing down here. And stand by.
CC: Okay, Endeavour, we're satisfied with that mapping camera exercise. Two more requests on that. Go to OFF with the EXTEND/RETRACT switch, and to OFF with the MAPPING CAMERA/LASER ALTIMETER COVER switch, please. And we're finished with that.
CDR: Okay; EXTEND/_CT to OFF; and a MAP CAMERA/ LASE_ ALTIMETER's going to OFF.
CC: That's right, Dave. And a note for Al. We think that the m,gazine Romeo, based on the frame count you gave us, still has enough frames left to take the solar corona pictures. And we'11 have some special words for A1 on how he's to take those pictures. I guess, we'11 delete a few of the solar corona requirements. Also, word about the PRD configuration for the EVA. Apparently, we'11 want the CMP to have the PRD, whose number reads 25028. And, I guess, that's the one you've been carrying, Dave. And, Jim, we'11 - we'11 use the one that reads 08031, but we would like to have him recon- firm this number before he starts the EVA. Over.
CDR: Okay. Let me get that in the Checklist here, Joe; stand by. The CMP is 250 - say again.
CC: Roger. We want A1 to wear the PRD that's now reading 25028. That will distinguish it from the other two with no ambiguity. And Jim to take the one that begins 080, and we want him to give us the full reading off of that before he starts the EVA, though.
CDR: Well, we'11 have to give it to you now, because it will be in the suit and we won't be able to get to it.
CC: That's fine. Any time. Any time.
CDR: Okay. The one Jim will wear will be 08037.
CC: Okay, Dave. Thank you. And if you'11 give us POO and ACCEPT, we' 11 let you have a new state vector. --
CC: Endeavour, it's your computer.
CDR: And, Houston; Endeavour. You want to go through the change in the Flight Plan at 238 hours, if you haven' t ?
CC: Okay, Dave. This involves delaying the SIM bay turnoff until 238 hour s and 30 minutes. And in detail, at 238 plus 05, delete the P30 external DELTA-V, and the VERB 49 m,aeuver. Lines: at 238 plus 20, delete sextant star check; at 238 _ plus 28, delete all the steps from there starting with circuit breaker SCS, et cetera, up to 238 plus 55, ending with RHC POWER DIRECT (2) - OFF, et cetera. Over.
CDR: All right. I got all that. Thank you.
CC: Hello, Endeavour, this is Houston. 15k/3 Tape 1393 Page
CDR: Houston, Endeavour. Go. mV
CC: Be advised at ma_k, you are leaving the sphere of lunar influence; end it's downhill from here on in.
CDR: Roger. Thank you, Joe. That's nice to know.
CC: Did you notice anything there, Dave? Discon- tinuity in velocity or anything like that?
CDR: Well, Joe. That's one of the mysteries that we'11 probably have to keep to ourselves.
CC: I was afraid of that.
CC: Roger, Dave. We're looking down the l/ne here towards the EVA. And the Surgeon's getting good hiomed now, one data on A1 except of the three apparently and EKG sensors is marginal, there's some noise creeping in. We're Just wondering procedure what your standard is regarding sensor- ing before the EVA exercise. If he's going to resensor, probably it's no problem; if he's not ought planning to, maybe we to talk it over a little. Over. If they have a problem, let's get it squared away right now.
CC: Okay . Do you have - Maybe A1 could try pressing down on the three EKG leads, cue at a time, for us; that may help us out.
CDR: Okay. Here we go. The upper right.
CC: Okay. being
CDR: Okay. The upper center is pressed.
CDR: Okay, and the lower left.
CC: Dave, it looks to us like it's one of the two top sensors, and we were wondering how difficult it would be to reseat both of them now.
CDR: Okay. I'11 tell you what we'11 do. A little further down the line here, we' 11 take care of both of those. We'11 ... them and reseat them and everything.
CC: Okay, fine. Thank you.
CDR: And thank you for thinking ahead on that one.
CC: Roger. I've got an update to your corona - window calibration photography and the UV photographs, when you're ready.
CDR: Houston, Endeavour. Can't seem to get the mass spec boom all the way in and I guess Al's had a little trouble with it - now and again with the barber pole being half - the talkback being half barber pole. And seems to flutter there, close to the gray position, and doesn't really come all the way in.
CC: Okay, Dave. We copy. Let us think about that.
CDR: Okay. And we're going to go ahead with the dumps, if that's okay?
CDR: And if you'd like a visual check of Just exactly where that's hanging up, why we can give it to you in a couple of hours. We'11 have A1 go out and take a look.
CC: That's not a bad idea. Does he know about this plan yet ?
CDR: Well, I don't know. We'11 check with him. Yes, he nods his head like he'd probably be obliged to do it.
CC: Okay. Break it to him gently, though.
CC: And, Dave. While I got you here, I do want to c_mment that the first change in the Flight Plan is to delete the step at 238 plus 23 that says "enable all Jets." We think that there is a - a certain chance that map camera may be stuck out, and we particularly don't want RCS Jets A4, A2, B1, and B4 to be enabled, because they may give us trouble with that camera.
CDR: Okay. Understand, Joe. We'11 scratch that step and make sure A4, A2, B1, and B4 stay off.
CC: Okay. And I'11 - Standing by to read you some more photo pads, Just at your convenience.
CDR: Go ahead. I've got the Flight Plan out.
CC: Okay. If you'11 turn to page 3-352, which is the Corona Window Calibration and UV photos procedures page.
CC: Okay. The attitude involved in the corona photo- graphs should read 057, 005, 025. And the time on that, 239 plus 08. And the high gain numbers, pitch, minus 48; yaw, 238.
CDR: Okay, Joe. 057, 005, and 025 at 239:08. Minus 48 and 238 for the high gain.
CC: That's correct, and moving dowu% a couple of lines, "l/500th" the shutter speed should be changed from 1/125th. to And change the inhibit Jets line to "_,mp read rates for 5 minutes." CMC MODE to FREE.
CDR: Okay. Understand. Scratch inhibit Jets, and substitute damp rates for 5 minutes, and then CMC, FREE, and the 1/125th replaces the 1/500th on the camera.
CC: That's correct, Dave. And moving down a little further, delete the line, cycle I frame, change shutter; and delete the line, "cycle i frame." And finally, change the last line, enable all Jets to read, "CMC MODE, AUTO."
CDR: Okay, delete line, "cycle i frame" and "cycle i frame;" and CMC AUTO, replaces "Enable all Jets."
CC: That's correct and assuming you're going to take the UV photographs after the EVA, I have a photo pad for that, if that assumption is correct. assumption
CDR: Looks like that is probably correct, Joe, and we'11 take the photo pad later on. Let us get on with corona, or we won't mmke it.
CC: Roger, Jim. We understaud you are going to delete the U¥ photograph, but after you complete the corona window cslibration, you will have to do the first step in the UV photos Transearth Coast Procedures, there. And that first step is VERB 49 maneuver to Earth UV photo attitude, and _ it lists the attitude there. We need this for thermal reasons.
CMP: Houston, ]5.
CC: Go ahead, 15. Tape15 ,17
CMP: Hey, Joe. Just a point of clarification on the backing to be used for the corona. I don't know whether you are aware or not, but the backing that fits into window _, which is the right-hand ren- dezvous window, has two different mounting pads for the camera, one is 250 and the other is 80. And the 80 is pointing 12 degrees below the X-axis, and I Just wanted to check and see if you wanted us - if that's the proper pad or if you wanted us to use the 80 on the 250 pad.
CC: Al, use the 80. The one pointing 12 degrees above the X-axis.
CC: 15, this is Houston, broadcasting in the blind, with a request that, if possible, we bring back Dave's LCG. If it's already stowed in too inaccessible a place in the - in the Jettison bag, don't bother. But if you can possibly save it, please bring it back.
CDR: Okay. Sorry, Houston, we were getting suited here, and didn't realize we were off comm; but we copied your request. Let us think about it some for a minute.
CDR: Well, Houston, I guess that it's a good reason we're about an hour ahead. So we'11 go ahead and dig it out.
CC: That's your choice, Dave.
CDR: Well, we're sort of ahead, and expecting little things like that to pop up.
CDR: Say, Houston, by the way, the LCG you'11 get back is the one I wore on the third EVA only.
CC: Roger; Dave. That's fine. That's the one we'd like.
CC: And 15, whenever A1 has a quiet moment, I have several prebriefing questions to send up to him about what to look for on the V over H sensor.
CDR: Okay, give us about an hour for that, then we'11 be able to talk to you.
CC: 15, this is Houston. We'd like to have MANUAL on the HIGH GAIN whenever one of you.has a chance to get there. No need to answer.
CMP: Let me do it.
CDR: Okay. Go to MANUAL.
CDR: Okay, Houston. Apollo 15.
CDR: We're all suited up and down to the coma check portion of the EVA prep, and we're ready to t,]k to you about whatever you'd like to talk about.
CC: I guess the main thing we have to talk about is the inspection of the V over H sensor of the pan camera. Are you ready to listen, Al?
CDR: Okay. He can read you, but he's got to reconfigure his panel in order to talk to you, so we'11 do that.
CMP: Okay, Karl, how do you read me now?
CC: Loud and clear, Al. Hey, on this V over H sensor, I have a set of five steps or five questions that we'd like to have for you to have in your mind.
CC: Okay. Number i is, inspect the general area this is sort of a general point of view inspect the around general area the V over H sensor and comment on any evidence of thermal or mechanical degradation. And 2, 3, 4, and 5 are sort of more specifically. Number 2. Is there any evidence of V over H sensor lens cracking, or debris on the lens? In other words, have a good check of the lens itself. Num- ber 3. Is any large amount of the black paint around the V over H sensor opening missing? Number 4. Is the plume shield in place around the V over H sen- sor opening? And the plume shield is what I'd gen- erally call the - or - the - it's the guard around - the lens sticking out about 3 inches there. And, number 5. Is anything obviously obstructing the V over H sensor field of view? Page l_01
CMP: Okay, Karl. We got all those.
CC: Okeydoke. No other special questions at the moment. Stand by.
CMP: Okay. on then.
CDR: Okay. We'11 proceed here
CC: Incidentally, I guess we're - we both understand on each other the status of the mapping camera? So far as you know, it hasn't retracted? Is that correct? /
CMP: That is our understanding at this point. I'11 let you know when I get out.
CC: Oh, Al. One more point that I overlooked down here, and that is, the people here would like to have you look at the mass spec boom, Al, if it's at all fea- sible. If it's not convenient to look down at the base of that boom and look at the coils, forget it; can but if you get a look in there, we would expect to find a coil crossover Jamming down in the base there, and we' d like to have your visual confirmation of that.
CMP: Roger, Karl. I had intended to do that.
CMP: Roger. That's on.
CDR: Net corem, OFF.
CMP: Net comm, OFF.
CDR: S-BAND T/R.
CMP: S-BAND T/R.
CDR: INTERCOM T/R.
CDR: Houston, Endeavour. I guess the comm's acceptable to you down there on - with A1 on VOX. Is that correct?
CC: Roger. We're reading him loud and clear.
CMP: Press ALARM, ON; tone on.
CDR: ... OFF?
CMP: 900.

CDR: ... pressure and temperature ...?
CDR: ... suit pressure reading?
CMP: Suit pressure's reading about - pound and a half above cabin.
CMP: Cabin pressure's running about 5.9.
LMP: I'11 pump it down a little bit.
CMP: Jim, stand by 1. Get the cabin pressure down.
CDR: Okay .... valves, closed. SCS, closed.
CDR: Houston, 15. The suit circuit looks pretty good up here. How does it look to you?
CC: Roger, 15. It looks good to us down here.
LMP: SCU is on. 603 is ON. Verified.
CMP: Okay. Let's get the helmet on first.
LMP: Okay. PURGE valve.
CMP: Got it. It's activated.
CDR: Pull the OPS down there, would you, Jim?
CMP: Hold it. Hold it up in front.
CDR: Can you ...?

CDR: Yes, it's okay.
CDR: 6.
CDR: Got it? Okay. It's off.
LMP: LOcked.
CDR: High. You've got the temp. Can you reach it? Hook that strap in for me, too, would you, please? No.
CC: 15, Houston. We note that your cabin pressure's up to 6. You might consider dumping it down.
LMP: Hooked.
CMP: Tell me when my temp ... anymore.
LMP: Reading 4.0.
CMP: It's off. Warning tone is on.
CMP: Decay was about .1. It's on. 02 ... is on.

CDR: Okay, Houston; 15. We've got a good integrity standing check on the CMP, and by for a GO for depress from ....
CMP: Dave, would you turn m_ ... valve, please?
CC: We copy, 15. And you have a GO for depress.
CMP: Are they vertical now?
CMP: Other side too. Two of them.
CDR: Okay. You guys ready? Okay, Houston; 15. The side hatch dump valve is coming open.
CC: 15, Houston copies.
CDR: Want to stop there?
CMP: Well, okay. Think ... probably easier than I can.
CDR: Reading _.0. Go to them.
CMP: Reading 3.8 on mine.
CMP: Roger. Fine.
CMP: Yes, it makes a difference. It's still flowing into the cabin.
CDR: How can you read me? You read me okay? Good.
CMP: You hear m_ VOX cut in and out? Good.
CDR: Yes. Okay. You ready?
CDR: I suspect that SCU is forward enough to keep it there.
CMP: It'11 hold. Now.
CMP: It's released. It's in the yellow?
CMP: No. We've missed it.
CDR: Yes, I can't see it. Jim, can you see the indicator?
LMP: I can't either, can you?
CDR: Houston, 15. We're getting ready to open the hatch. How does everything look to you down there?
CC: Roger, Al. Everything's looking good to us here.
CMP: ... out, Dave.
CDR: Okay? Unlatch. Unlatch. Ready? Roger.
CC: 15, Houston. We don't see the TV camera on yet.
CMP: The hatch is open.
CDR: Huh. Oh, we haven't got it out yet. We'11 have it out there in a minute. It should be on though.
CMP-EVA: Okay. I got the latch - the handle and latch.
CMP-EVA: Okay.
CMP-EVA: Okay ....
CMP-EVA: ... zero. Clips.
CMP-EVA: Jettison bag is gone. And Jettison bag number 2.
CDR: Okay, Houston. You should be getting a picture about now.
CC: Roger, 15. We're getting a signal.
CMP-EVA: Okay, fine. First thing is that the map - the mapping camera is all the way out.
CC: 15, this is Houston. We're getting a clear picture now, but the aiming of the TV camera is poor. Is it possible to open the hatch wider?
CDR: Yes, that's what - we're - we're looking at that, too. Stand by l, and we'11 do that.
CMP-EVA: Yes, I can see the TV is pointed right at the com- mand module there. Right at the interface.
CDR: Push it back a little there, Jim. Okay.
CC: That's excellent.
CDR: You should have a picture of a man in space.
CMP-EVA: Okay; you ready, Jim? I'11 work my way down. Okay, it' s reading 4. Okay.
CDR: We'11 have your picture back in a minute, Houston. We're turning on the 16 millimeter.
CMP-EVA: Okay, I'm in the front restraint.
CC: Yes, that's good work up there, Al. 156/9 Tape
CMP-EVA: Okay. The pan camera cassette is tethered. There's the pip pin.
CDR: Get it inside there, if you can, Jim. Get it inside.
CMP-EVA: Roger. Would you like to exchange - would you like to get a hold of it? (Laughter)
CMP-EVA: That's the pan c_m_ra, right. Okay, Houston, the pan camera is safely inside. Over.
CDR: Jim, hold this.
CC: Beautiful job, A1 baby. Remember - remember, there's no hurry up there at all.
CMP-EVA: Roger, Karl. I'm enjoying it.
CMP-EVA: Okay, Houston. Rest break. We'11 take a look at the V over IH sensor.
CMP-EVA: Uh, hum, I see nothing on the V over H sensor. There 's no back - black paint missing. There 's nothing obscuring the field of view. The glass is not cracked.
CMP-EVA: The shield is not obstructing the field of view. There's nothing in the way, Karl.
CMP-EVA: It's perfectly clear.
CC: We copy your report, Al. Thank you.
CMP-EVA: Okay. And as I look around, the mass spec is - oh, it looks like about - not quite in - the cover. It looks like maybe it's the cover that's J_mmed. Yes, in fact, it is the cover that's J_mmed. See?
UNKNOWN: Al. We copy. That was most unexpected news.
CMP-EVA: No, I can't tell from here. I can't really - I can't really tell from here, Karl, whether it's the cover or not. I thought the cover was J_mmed. One corner of the cover is overlapping a - side section of insulation which I wasn't expecting it to. But it doesn't seem to be - it doesn't put any force on it - on the m-ss spec. If I could get around and take a look at it. The mass spec is in the guide pins, and the mass spec looks like as it is Fully retracted. The mass spac is Fully retracted, Karl.
CC: Roger, Al. We're reading you loud and clear.
CMP-EVA: Any - any diffi - any difficulties with the talk- back has to be associated with that cover, because the cover is not closed. How far through the slot should the guide pin come on the - on the reel?
CC: Stand by, Al. --
CMP-EVA: Okay. Because I can see the guide pin coming through. You do that, and I'11 get the map - mapping camera.
CMP-EVA: Okay, Jim. I'm ready to bring the other one back.
CC: Hey, Al. It looks like you're running a pass up there. That 's beautiful.
CMP-EVA: Jim, you look absolutely fantastic against that Moon back there. That is really a most unbelievable remarkable thing.
CDR: Okay, Houston. The mapping camera casette is inside.
CMP-EVA: Houston, is there anything else you want me to check in the SIM bay before we go back in?
CC: Al, we'd be - -
CMP-EVA: Is there anything on the mapping camera I can check?
CC: Al, we'd be pleased to have any general comments you had about the SIM bay experiments, otherwise than what we 'ye specifically asked you. Did every- thing look in order?
CMP-EVA: Okay. Well, everything looked good, as far as I could tell, all except for the cover on the mass spec and the fact that the mapping camera is up. Maybe I could make another quick check back here and see if I can see anything on the mapping camera.
CMP: Okay. You ready, you guys?
CMP: Oh, Just a second. I've got to get the mask and get the TV.
CMP: Okay. TV coming in. Got it, Dave? Okay.
CDR: Okay, take your time.
CMP: I - I'm doing fine.
CMP: Hung up - on something.
CDR: Ah, yes, it's about the same place it was when we opened the hatch.
CDR: Okay. Hatch is locked.
CDR: Neutral. Gear box is in latch.
CMP: Can you do it, Dave? Okay.
CC: 15, Houston. You can turn off the TV anytime you like.
CDR: Let us get depr - pressurized first, Karl.
CDR: Can you get it there?
LMP: Tell me when to close it. That's it.
CMP: ... Take it down here before it's too - okay, okay.
CMP: I said, I wish I were back outside. It's hell in here. Okay.
CMP: I can't. No ....
CMP: How's that? There we go. Now we should get our positions straight. You see it now, Dave? Okay. Make sure we got a good seal.
CDR: Okay, Houston; 15. It looks like we got a good seal. How's it look down there?
CC: 15, Houston. Your seal looks good to us.
CDR: Okay. Thank you. Is 601 open?
LMP: And it looks zero now, Dave?
CDR: You should have stayed longer. _-_
CC: 15 - 15, Houston. As long as we have the TV camera on, go - go to AVERAGE, and we should get a better picture down here.
CDR: Well, it's just down in the LEB sort of stowed away, but we' 11 do that.
CDR: We're Just not in a position to get the panel 3 switch right now.
CC: We - we copy, and that's fine.
CDR: You m,y have something on your picture, now. I'11 check.
CMP: Cabin pressure rate is coming up.
CDR: (Heavy breathing)
LMP: I'11 get it. APOLLO 15 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CMP: PGA pressure.
CDR: Why don't you do it so I don't get mY gloves dirty. Get mY helmet. Get that stuff off and leave them.
CC: 15, Houston. We see your cabin at 6.1. You might want to keep a close eye on that.
CDR: Okay; we'11 do that. Thank you.
CDR: Houston, 15. We're prepared to maneuver to the thermal attitude a little early if you'd like us to go over there.
CC: 15, this is Houston. That would be fine with us.
CC: 15, Houston. We'd like to have AUTO on the HIGH GAIN and go from REACQ to AUTO quickly.
CDR: Roger. Going AUTO -
CDR: Go ahead, Houston; 15.
