CC: Okay, we've gone over the stowage which you read down this morning, and everything's shipshape, except we have one question on one item and that concerns the stowage of the core stems. The core stems should be stowed in the sleep restraint that has the CMP's PGA in it. We understand that it's now stowed in the bag on the side of A-8. I guess our first question is, how many - How long is the core stem at the present time? Did you break it down, or is it still three sections long, which we think it is on the ground?
CDR: No, it's still three sections long, and we could put it in the sleep restraint. It Just seemed like a convenient place to stick it in the bag over there to keep it tied down well.
CC: Okay. Next question is, how'd you get it in the A-8 bag, which according to our measurements on the ground is only 36 inches long and, therefore, apparently not long enough to hold the three lengths of core stem?
CDR: Well, it's sticking out a little bit, I guess we have to admit, but it's pretty well cinched down.
CDR: But it's no problem; we can put it anyplace you like.
CC: Okay, Dave, I guess we - I don't think it makes an awful lot of difference, but it'd probably make a lot of other people happy if we ended up putting it inthe sleep restraint. They wouldn't worry about that loose end hanging out there - if it's not too much trouble.
CDR: Oh, it's no problem at all; be glad to do that.
CDR: You know, we know what number one priority on this spacecraft is.
CDR: We wouldn't - we wouldn't lose that or misplace it or get it rattled around for anything, Bob.
CDR: And you say everything else is okay, huh?
CC: Roger; everything else is A-okay.
CC: And, 15, reminder or a question, did you guys get the word that they like a pad of about 2 seconds worth of 24 frames per second at the end of those photos to protect these things?
CDR: Roger; we got that, Bob. Thank you.
CC: And if you guys'il give me a call when you're ready to do the mass spec boom test, I'11 read it up to you.
CDR: All righty, Houston; stand by.
CMP: Okay, you going to read up the procedures real time on the mass spec boom?
CMP: Okay, why don't we go ahead and do that, the_ while we're finishing up the contamination photos?
CC: Okay, standby. Okay_ 15, the first step is MASS SPEC BOOM to RETRACT, talkback barber pole for 4 minutes or until gray. If talkback fully gray within 4 minutes, deploy boom and return to Flight Plan. Over.
CMP: Roger. Understand you want RETRACT on the MASS SPEC BOOM for 4 minutes, and, if it goes gray be- Flight Plan.
CC: That's affirmative. And give - give us a call when you get done.
CMP: Come in, Houston; 15.
CMP: Okay, there's 4 minutes of RETRACT, and it's still barber pole.
CC: Okay, if the talkback is not fully gray in 4 minutes, let's go to MASS SPEC BOOM, off, center, for I min- ute. That's just to let the motor cool down.
CMP: Okay, it's off now.
CMP: And what at the end of the i minute?
CC: Okay, at the end of the i minute, we will deploy it for 20 seconds and then off, center, and then we will retract for 40 seconds or until the talk- 1/2 back is barber pole or fully gray and then off. Over.
CMP: Okay, got you.
CMP: Okay, going to extend.
CMP: And do you want to pause it off between extend and RETRACT?
CC: Stand by. Not necessary to pause between DEPLOY and RETRACT on this.
CMP: Okay, it's in RETRACT now.
CMP: Okay, Houston, that's the 40 seconds of RETP_CT, and it's at half barber pole, and I turned it off.
CC: Okay. In that case, we'd like you to repeat the 20-second DEPLOY, 40-second RETRACT sequence twice more and, if gray talkback is still not obtained, we'11 turn it off and wait until 275 hours, at which point we'11 give you a call and we'11 replay - we'11 repeat that. Over.
CMP: Okay, fine. We'11 cycle that whole thing twice more.
CC: 15, Houston. We'd like to proceed with the fuel cell purges now to get those out of the way before the P23s.
CMP: Houston, mass spec boom has been cycled three times. Ail I can get out of it is a half barber pole, and I've got it turned off right now.
CC: Roger; copy, Al. We'11 call you at 275 hours to repeat that. The reason for that is that pres- ently we're sort of sitting in a cold-soak attitude. We're going to repeat it at 275 hours when we're sort of in a hot-soak attitude.
CC: Apollo 15, Houston. We'd like to go to ION SOURCE, OFF, and MASS SPEC EXPERIMENT to STANDBY.
CMP: ION SOURCE, OFF, and MASS SPEC to STANDBY.
CC: 15, Houston. Al, we missed your last NOUN 49.
CMP: Okay, I'11 show you this one.
CC: Thanks.
CC: 15, Houston. Looks like a good set of P23s again, Al. And your G_mma, right now, on your vector, is 6.5.
CMP: It sounds like, after a whilejwe might get along without you, huh, Bob?
CMP: As a matter of fact, if you guys keep working on your ground vectors, they might even converge to the onboard vectors pretty soon.
CC: Roger; 274:05, we'd like to delete the mass spec line, where you turn on MULTIPLIER, LOW, et cetera. We'11 delete that.
CMP: Okay, we'11 delete that line, Robert. Thank you, sir.
CMP: Roger; want us to - delete the LOGIC POWER, two, if we're going to do the mass spec at 275?
CC: 15, that's affirmative.
CMP: Okay. our
CC: And, 15; Houston. You got any more updates to Flight Plan?
CMP: No, but I'11 scan it over; and, if I find any, I'11 let you know. APOLLO 15 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CC: Roger; we have an update to the Flight Plan, if you guys are ready to copy.
CC: Okay. The attitude that we maneuver to at 274:46 there, for the second set of X-rays should be changed - that VERB 49 maneuver, should be changed to 196, 346, 012. Over.
CDR: Roger. Understand the VERB 49 maneuver to X-ray pointing attitude should be changed to 196, 346, 012.
CC: Roger. And, before we start that VERB 49 maneuver at 274:45 or thereabouts, we'd like to cover the ex - We'd like to close the EXPERIMENT COVERS, ALPHA/X-RAY, to CLOSE. That's the one on panel 278. And then after we get to attitude at about 275:00, we'11 go ahead and open those covers again, the Alpha/X-rays.
CDR: Roger. Understand, you want the Alpha/X-ray covers closed before the maneuver and opened after the maneuver.
CC: Roger. These - The new position I sent you up on that - Those two steps there in the procedure are to keep from getting sunlight right in on some of the stuff to protect it. And - -
CC: - - and, also at this time, you may terminate the battery A charge.
CDR: Okay, terminating battery A charge.
CDR: Roger, Bob. Do you want us to go to STANDBY on X-RAY while the door is closed, or is it okay to leave it on?
CC: Roger. You can leave it on - Dave.
CC: Apollo 15, Houston. Request OMNI Charlie, please.
CC: Apollo 15, OMNI Delta, please.
LMP: OMNI Delta.
CC: Roger. Remember back a ways, we were talking about doing some more mass spec boom tests at 275 hours, which has gone by. We're right now talking about delaying that until 276 hours, approximately, or at least until before you start your VERB 49 maneuvers for the next set of P23s. Over.
CC: We're just letting it heat soak a little bit longer.
CDR: And, Houston; 15. I have some command module RCS injector temperatures for you.
CDR: Okay, these are readings off the SYSTEMS TEST meter. 5-A is 4. - or 5-C is 4.2; 5-D is 3.9; 6-A is 4.1; B is 4.2; C is greater than 5; and D is 4.5.
CC: Roger. Copy 4.2, 3.9, 4.1, 4.2, greater than - and 4.5.
CC: Roger. If one of you fellows has the time, we might like to continue on with the MASS SPEC BOOM RETRACT test.
LMP: Okay. Is it something I should write down, or can I just do it real time?
CC: I'11 give it to you real time. It's not that com- plicated, Jim.
CC: Okay. We need the EXPERIMENT switch to ON down there in the ALPHA - Excuse me, the MASS SPEC EX- PERIMENT switch to ON; and the I0N SOURCE, ON. Over.
LMP: Okay. Understand MASS SPEC EXPERIMENT, ON; and ION SOURCE, ON. Stand by.
LMP: Understand you want DEPLOY for 20 seconds and then - on the MASS SPEC BOOM, and then RETRACT until we get gray for 40 seconds.
UNKNOWN: ° Okay, Bob. It went gray after 30 seconds.
CC: Roger; copy. Stand by.
CC: Okay, 15. Looks like it's a cold soak problem, then, Jim. We'11 just deploy it all the way out and leave it there. _
LMP: Okay. You want us to deploy it all the way now, huh?
CC: Right. After we did all that work and succeeded in retracting it, now we'11 deploy it.
LMP: Okay. We'11 deploy it.
CC: Roger, Al. Recommendation from the ground here. They'd like to see - maybe as many as five optics calibration marks the next time, instead of the two. It's Just to give them some data.
LMP: Okay, I'11 relay that information to our navigator. -
CC: Sorry about that, Jim. You sound like A1 these days.
LMP: Oh, we're getting so we all sound alike up here.
CC: Apollo 15, Houston. We're standing by ready to copy your NOUN 49s.
CC: 15, Houston. We'd like HIGH GAIN, PITCH at minus 30, YAW of 150.
CMP: Okay. PITCH, minus 30; and YAW_ plus 5 - 150.
CMP: And do you want us to go ahead and try and lock it up?
CC: Roger. Guidance says thank you to Al. And if - a couple other things here, if one of you guys has a chance, we'd like a mag - magazine status read- out tonight, and we're seeing some noise on Dave's biosensors. He might want to check them or push them down a little bit or something.
CDR: Okay, I'11 do that. And you want a magazine status read-out. What do - What do you mean by that exactly?
CC: Roger. That means how many picture's been taken in some of the magazines there. I think Al's been doing it. He probably knows what's going on, if he can tell you.
CDR: Okay. I - I guess we don't have a good answer for you on that, Bob. They're all stowed away. And they've all been recorded as we've gone along. Is there any particular need for them before tomorrow sometime?
CC: Negative, Dave. That's a good answer, it turns out.
CDR: Okay. I think you'11 find them all neatly tucked away and recorded when - when you get them on the ship.
CMP: If you're wondering how many pictures we took, at last count night before last, it was something like 1840 some.
CC: Understand, 1847.
CMP: Or somewhere around the ball park.
CC: Is that plus or minus one?
CDR: I think that was LM though, maybe yes. Then you have to add to that the command module.
CC: You mean like a mile of pan camera film, huh?
CMP: Something like that. It looks like it ought to hold a mile by the size of the thing.
CMP: Well, I had - had the log out here, and I took a and look at it, aS last count last night, we were 2631 on Hasselblad pictures, total.
CC: Roger, Dave. The interest in the MAGs was with reference to UV - the MAGs for the UV photography tomorrow. So the interest was in the number of frames remaining on magazine Mike and magazine Papa, try - trying to determine which of those would be usable for tomorrow's UV photography.
CDR: Okay. I think we've got that log in the Flight Plan. Stand by until A1 finishes his P23s, and we'11 take a look.
CC: Roger; understand. No big rush.
CDR: Think we'11 use a MAG that has some film in it.
CDR: I said, at - at any rate, we'11 use a MAG that has some film in it tomorrow.
CC: That's a good idea.
CC: Apollo 15, Houston. Requesting GAMMA RAY GAINSTEP, SHIELD OFF, now, please.
CDR: Roger. SHIELD OFF, now.
CC: That was a good mark, Al.
CMP: Yes, and it didn't update the state vector very much.
CC: Roger. Congratulations, Al. You've Just been voted to receive a second Vasco da Gama award for that. We were afraid you were going to do them all the way through the rest period.
CMP: Well, they're fun enough. I wouldn't mind.
LMP: So were we.
CC: (Laughter) Okay; and - -
CMP: It wouldn't have taken nearly so long if you hadn't wanted five m_ks per each star.
CC: Roger, Al. I'11 tell you about that some time. And, 15, we're configured for the E-mod dump, if you fellows want to give it to us.
CDR: Okay, it's coming. Does our bio data look any better?
CC: Roger. Yes, it does.
CC: And, as you get ready for the PTC, we'd like to do the PTC at 0.42 there again tonight as last night, although it's changing the NOUN 79 value there at 277:14.
CMP: Roger, Bob. I guess we use that as standard pro- cedure now, the 4200.
UNKNOWN: Roger. You don't have to do it tomorrow night
CDR: Okay. Use a different number tomorrow night?
CC: And, Apollo 15, be advised that tomorrow when you're taking your P23 marks, five marks on the CAL and then three marks on the stars for the P23 itself will be sufficient.
CMP: Okay, understand. Five marks on the CAL and three on each star.
CDR: Hey, Houston, 15. We've got the presleep checklist ready, too.
CDR: Okay. The crew's all ready for bed, no medication, and the onboard read-out: battery Cj 37; pyro BAT A, 37.1; B, 37.1; RCS A, 55; B, 50; C is 48; D, 52. And I guess everything else is done. You've got your E-memory dump, and we're ready to power down as soon as we get the PTC going.
CC: Roger, Dave. As far as we're concerned, we're all finished also. We will not be up-linking a state vector to you. We might have to do that some time Just for practice, but so far we haven't needed to up-link one to you. You guys are doing pretty super on those P23s.
CDR: Compensating errors.
CC: I can't believe that was a unanimous vote, Dave.
CDR: No, it was only two to one.
CC: Apollo 15, Houston. You're GO to start to spinup for PTC.
CC: And, Apollo 15, we'd like you to check that the POTABLE TANK INLET valve is OPEN, please. TANK
CDR: Roger; understand. POTABLE INLET valve, OPEN.
CC: All right, go ahead, 15.
CDR: Okay. Listen, potable tank inlet valve is open and has been the whole flight. What prompted the question?
CDR: We're just curious.
CC: 15, we saw a drop in the potable at the same time that the waste tank was staying stable, and we were - just concerned that it might have gotten out of configuration. We certainly expected it to be open; we just wanted to check it before you went to sleep, so we didn't have to wake you up.
CDR: Okay. Understand. Yes - we're reading potable at 90 percent.
CC: Roger. We're reading 94.
CC: Apollo 15, Houston. No need to acknowledge, but we'd like to put the DSKY to sleep before you guys go to sleep. 180-183/1 Tapes REST PERIOD - NO COMMUNICATIONS
MCC: (Music - Hawaiian War Chant by A1 Kealoha Perry)
CC: Tu sols [?], good Endeavour crew. Tu sols. Rise and shine. It's splashdown day.
CDR: Oh, my, yes!
CC: Good morning, Dave.
CDR: Good morning, Joe. That got everybody up.
CDR: Morning, J.P.
CC: Morning, Alfredo.
LMP: Joe, sounds like you're really in harmony this morning.
CC: That's one.
CDR: Okay, Houston; Endeavour. We got a postsleep checklist for you.
CDR: Okay. About 8 hours apiece on the sleep, and ready for your consumables.
CC: Roger. At 286 plus 30; RCS total, 36 percent; quad A, 41, 36, 30, 37; H 2 tank, 27, 24, and 29; 02 tank, 43, 44, and 37. I've got the world's smallest list of updates for your Flight Plan, and I've got the news snmmary when you're ready.
CDR: Okay. Give us a couple of minutes on those. Thank you.
CDR: Houston, Endeavour.
CDR: Well, we just got our first view of the Earth this morning, and, can you believe it's getting larger and it's getting smaller? We see just a very, very thin sliver of a very large round ball.
CC: Roger, Dave. I believe that.
CDR: And, go ahead on the updates, Joe.
CC: Roger, Dave. These are the Flight Plan updates for today. And - would you believe - I don't have any DAP load changes to give you, which is fortu- nate. The first addition is at 288 plus 18. And it reads "X-RAY to OFF, ALPHA PARTICLE to OFF."
CDR: Okay, 288:18, X-HAY, OFF, and ALPHA, OFF. Go.
CC: Roger. And all the rest are just reminders, really. The first one at - on - at 290, on the UV photos page, you've already changed the two frames line to read one frame at 20 seconds and the second frame at 2 seconds. A reminder to use MAG Papa instead of MAG Metro. And, finally, we'd like to remind you to enable all jets before beginning the maneuvers today. And we're - we're thinking now we'11 likely do amidcourse 7 correction of about - probably around 5 feet per second. Over.
CDR: Okay. I got the UV on the change, and the ...; enable all Jets prior to maneuvers; and you're looking at midcourse 7 of 5. That's very interesting.
CC: It's also not certain, but we'11 keep you posted on that. And that's all the official updates I have for you. I have a news s,_mmary, if you'd like to listen.
CDR: Okay. Everybody's in ...; go ahead.
CC: Roger. And this will be a short one. The rest of it you can read for yourselves today in the papers. Congress has started a month-long summer __ recess, setting the pattern for a Government-wide exodus, likely to make Washington a virtual ghost town for the rest of August. The Senate finally quit at 7:30 Friday night, more than 6 hours after the House had adjourned at about 1 in the afternoon. And after passing an $18 billion higher education bill and three key appropriations measures. Besides the Labor-HEW appropriations, the Senate approved, Friday, a $1 billion measure to provide public ser- vice jobs mainly for Vietnam veterans and a con- tinuing resolution to fund agencies still without regular appropriations until the 15th of October. In Chile, four [sic] government ministers present_ their resignations to President Salvador Allende on Friday, causing the first cabinet crisis since the President took office last November. I have a long list of baseball scores which I think I'11 skip over here. In exhibition football, the Buffalo Bills downed the New Orleans Saints, 14 to 10, and the Cowboys won over the L.A. Rams, 45 to 21. In the American Golf Classic at the Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio, Jerry Heard is still leading with 7 under par, 133, at the halfway mark. And Bob Lunn is next with a 4 under par, 136. The United States basketball team was eliminated yes- terday in the Pan-American games in Colombia, and the U.S. baseball team was upset by the Dominic_l Republic, 5 to 4. In tennis, Stan Smith is the last seeded player still in competition at the Western Championships in Cincinnati. And today in Chestnut Hills, Massachusetts, Marty Riessen meets Australian Ken Rosewall, and South African Cliff Drysdale meets John Newcombe in the semi- finals of the U.S. professional tennis tournament. _d that's all I have from here. Over.
CDR: Okay. Thank you, Joe. That's interesting.
CDR: Hey, Houston, 15. By the way, where did the 5 feet per second come from? Should we get our trusty navigator up there to navigate some more for you? 185/3 Tape Page 15_
CC: Dave, it probably came for - from the uncoupled - thrusting we were doing yesterday. Other than that, I'm not really sure. It's - it's by no means certain. Anyway we're just I guess - we'11 be watch- ing it today and get back with you, with the final bit of information on it.
CDR: Okay. Very good. Just thought maybe we'd get our navigator to navigate again, and it would probably go away, as most of them have done so far.
CC: Endeavour, the Saturday morning weather report for the landing area reads, "High scattered, 2000 scat- tered, 15-knot winds out of the east-northeast, 10 miles vis, and waves going to 4 feet." It should be well above your personal minimum.
CDR: Looks very good. We appreciate that.
CDR: Sounds like the recovery troops have things in hand as usual.
CC: Endeavour, this is Houston. Requesting GAMMA RAY, GAINSTEP, switch to center, please.
CDR: Roger. GAMMA RAY, GAINSTEP, to center.
CC: And, Endeavour, this is Houston. SIC over and out.
CDR: Hey, Mr. SIC! Congratulations on a super job all the way. Sure appreciate it.
CC: Roger, Dave. Likewise in every way. See you at Ellington.
LMP: Houston, this is 15 with the PRDs - readings.
LMP: Good morning, Bob. Okay, for Al, it's 25034 and mine is 08041.
CC: Roger. You got one for Dave?
LMP: Okay. His is not working any longer.
CC: Okay. Copy. 186/1 Tape
CC: Roger. Correction of the Flight Plan. We'd like to have all crewmembers on the biomed harness for entry. I suspect that means that Dave won't be doffing his about now.
LMP: Okay, I guess we could give you two. The - our trusty CMP has his off and stowed for entry.
CC: Okay, 15. Looks like the surgeons can live with that without too much trouble.
CC: Okay. If you guys have a moment or two, we have some Flight Plan updates concerning entry - entry cue cards and Entry Checklist. Over.
LMP: Well, Bob, it'11 be about a half an hour before we're ready to talk about those changes.
CC: Okay, Jim. Give me a call when you!re ready.
CMP: Houston, 15, I have some valve temps for you.
CMP: Okay, 5-C is 4.5; 5_D is 4.4; 6_A, 4.4; 4.4; 4.6; and 4.5.
CC: Apollo 15, Houston. Be advised, we are looking, at the present time, at a midcourse 7 burn of 5.6 feet per second retrograde. Over.
CC: 15, Houston. We have your torquing angles.
CC: Apollo 15. Request OMNI Chariie, please.
CMP: Roger. OMNI Charlie.
CDR: Houston: Apollo 15. We're ready for your entry updates now if you like.
CC: Roger, 15. Understand you're ready for the update. Tell A1 that was another super set of arcs, certainly.
CDR: Yes, that one came out pretty fair, didn't it?
CC: Okay, 15. The first change is in the Entry Check- list, second page; and, on page 1-2, we wish to delete step 21, which is the "DSKY Condition Light Test."
CDR: Okay. Step 21 deleted.
CC: You may remember that one from the SIM; that's the one with the - gives us the P35 and turns the PIPAs off momentarily.
CDR: Yes, I guess we don't want to do that today .... - -
CC: That's - that's a Roger. Okay, the next one, Dave, is on page 6, when we're checking the circuit breaker configuration on panel 8; and we're going to add "SPS PILOT VALVE A MAIN A and B MAIN B, open. Verify." Over.
CDR: Okay. SPS PILOT VALVES MAIN A and B both open, and - Configuration of the circuit breakers on panel 8. Go ahead. 186/B Tape Page 15_
CC: Okay. Then if we go down to the entry cue card, down to the P67 section.
CC: Okay. Down there near the middle where it says "Steering commands downrange error minus 6 to 0," that should be changed to "Downrange error minus 24 to 0." Over.
CDR: Roger. Just like it is in the checklist. Right? And I think we noticed that last night looking it over.
CC: Okay. And next, on the second line under the NOUN 68, there's a comment that says "negative (if plus: EMS)." And there's a certain amount of unhappiness with that statement down here. They say that you can have a positive H-dot in P67 nominally and, therefore, the statement on the cue card that this is a fail indication is not a good idea. I understand Vance discussed this with A1 beforehand.
CDR: Okay. We'11 scratch that. I don't think we'11 get to a P66 - 67 turnover anyway, but we'11 scratch that one out. Thank you, Bob.
CC: Roger. We hope not. And we have a question here, Dave, that we need an answer for, apparently con- cerning stowage. People are concerned about the hooks on the back of the R-12, the Flight Data File container, which is now stowed in one of the PGA bags. And they are concerned that those hooks be placed in such a way that they will not be in any danger of piercing the aft bulkhead - the pres- sure bulkhead. So I guess you can tell how they're placed or what's underneath them to prevent such occurrences.
CDR: Okay. We'11 make sure of that. And I guess the problem with R-12 was that, once we got all the LM data onboard, we didn't have any place to put it, or else we didn't have any place to put the LM data. And if you have any better suggestions on where to put them, we'11 be glad to do it.
CDR: I don't think we have any right now, Dave. I guess the quickest thing would have been to Just put it in the PGA bag with the hooks pointing up.
CC: And one reminder, Dave. You guys undoubtedly know it. Just a reminder that you will not have any back lighting for the scroll and no lighting on the roll bug today.
CDR: Okay. No back lighting for the scroll and no lighting on the roll bug. Thank you.
CDR: Have anything else, Bob?
CC: No, Dave. That's all I have for the moment.
CDR: Okay. That's pretty easy.
LMP: Houston, we're standing by for a VHF cbmm check.
CC: Stand by, Jim. We'11 see if they're ready.
CC: 15, Houston. We'11 have to stand by for another few hours to get you close enough to do that VHF comm check.
UNKNOWN: All right. Roger. We understand.
CC: Houston, 15. Go.
CC: Roger. Could we have a reading of the - an onboard reading of the potable tank quantity, please?
LMP: Eighty-two percent.
CC: Copy; 82 percent.
CDR: Houston, 15. Go. 186/5 Tape
CC: Roger. Could you guys check the POTABLE TANK INLET valve again for us, and find out whether it is in the CLOSED or OPEN position? Once again, what we're seeing is the waste tank increase and the potable tank has been staying constant all morning.
CDR: Okay; last night when you called, I even went and down and recycled that valve made sure it was in the detent in the OPEN position, which it was.
CC: Okay. In that case, could you go down and cycle it from CLOSED to OPEN again for us, please?
CDR: Roger. We're doing that right now.
CDR: Okay, it was still OPEN, and A1 cycled it from OPEN to CLOSED and back to OPEN.
CC: Okay. Thank you. It's no big deal, Dave, nothing to worry about.
CDR: Might as well get everything all tr_mmed up.
CC: That's what we're trying to do. APOLLO 15 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CC: Apollo 15. Requesting OMNI Charlie.
CC: 15, Houston. If you'11 give us HIGH GAIN and PITCH of plus 7, YAW of 250, then we'11 be able to keep high gain for the next 2 or 3 hours, and I won't have to keep calling you for OMNIs. Over.
LMP: Okay; understand plus 7 and 250 on the HIGH GAIN.
CC: 15, Houston. We're noticing some drift in roll. If you're not through with the UV photos, we'd like you to retrim back to attitude, please.
CMP: Okay, and we are finished with the UV photos.
CC: Okay; takes care of that one.
CC: Okay; if you guys got a minute, we can do a few things here. Number l, if you give us ACCEPT, we'11 send you some state vector and target loads; and, number 2, we have a couple comments to read to you.
CDR: Okay; you have ACCEPT, and stand by.
CC: Roger; you're getting the up-link, and we're standing by.
CC: 15, the computer's yours. You have state target and REFSMMAT.
CDR: And, Houston, we're all on. You can go with your comments.
CC: Okay; first one, news concerning the water business. -- We've been having you check that valve. It looks to us now as though there's a blockage into the potable tank. You got obviously - a - far more water than you need to survive the rest of the mission, but it does mean that the waste tank will be filling up, and there is a possibility that it will start to vent about an hour or 2 before EI. It's been discussed down here and decided that the best way to do this is - far as not perturbing the vector too much - is to let it relieve overboard and not to do a dump ahead of time or turn the water boiler on ahead of time. In line with this, we might Just verify that the PRESSURE RELIEF valves down on panel 352 - the water control panel, is in the RELIEF position. It certainly should be there; it's Just a - a little verification to make sure we're - we're not going wrong there. Second, I - -
CC: Okay; thank you. Second item is, we suggest that it might be reasonable to put some tape over the SPS light on the EMS to keep you from confusing with the .05g light, in case you have a problem there, Al. That's your option, obviously. It just a suggestion.
CDR: Oh, I don't think he'11 have any confusion with that.
CDR: ... make sure we watch it.
CC: And the third question is, from your comments when we were talking about R-12, some people believe you may be asking us a question that you have a problem with stowage of some of the extra LM Data File, or have you found a place for that already?
CDR: Oh, no; that's all tucked away in R-3 very - very neatly. We have no - no problem at all with the stowage. We Just wanted to locate R-12 in a nice soft spot and secure it down, which it is.
CC: Okay. We - we were - crank up Building 45 to find you a location if you needed it.
CC: And, 15; Houston. We've got an entry pad and a midcourse 7 pad if you're ready to copy.
CDR: Stand by l, Bob. Let our pad leader get out his pencil. I'm

LMP: Okay; you have ACCEPT.
CC: Houston, 15. Picked off the VERB key zero - on top of you. Sorry about that. It's all yours.
CC: 15, we'11 clear it. Don't worry.
CC: 15, Houston. The computer's yours again.
CC: Apollo 15, Houston. We would like the VHF turned on even though it's too early to do the cow_ check. Like it turned on in SIMPLEX Alfa to warm it up, and so we can watch it.
LMP: Okay, we're turning on SIMPLEX Alfa. Thank
CC: you, 15.
CC: And, 15, we have your torquing angles. Pege 1535
CDR: Houston, 12. You have the torquing angles.

CDR: Roger. Thank you. We're all set.
CC: 15, Houston. Requesting KEY RELEASE and ENTER to complete the integration and get us down for the burn.
CDR: Houston, the integration should all be done.
CC: Roger. SomebodY on the ground here hasn't seen it, apparently.
CDR: Okay, we've been sitting here for about 5, 6 minutes.
CC: Roger. We couldn't tell. sorry about that, Dave.
CDR: Okay, Houston; 15 with the burn status report.
CDR: Okay, T. was on time. Burn time was 21 and came lg right out on the money, and it clicked up a couple seconds after the shutdown to minus .1, 0, and minus .1. DELTA-V C was plus .8.
CC: Roger. Copy that, Dave. It looked good to us.
CC: 15, OMNI Bravo, please.
CDR: Roger. OMNI Bravo.
CC: Apollo 15, Houston. If you'11 give us ACCEPT after you get maneuvered to attitude before you go into P23 to start the optics CAL, we'11 up-link you your new state vector, and then you can press on with the P23s as soon as that's up.
CC: 15, Houston. The computer's yours.
CC: And, 15, requesting OMNI Charlie.

CC: Roger, Jim. Good readback. And I have some in- formation on landing area and weather and recovery forces, if you're ready to copy that.
CC: Roger. Conditions in the recovery area continue to be good. Two thousand scattered, high scattered, visibility 10 miles. Winds are 10 knots, out of the east, and wave heights have come down to 3 feet. Altimeter at 3006. The recovery forces: the air- craft carrier is Okinawa. We have three helos_ Swim 2, Swim 1, and Recovery. And Swim 2 is esti- mating to be on station, after splashdown, within 5 minutes. The two 130s in the area will be Hawaii Rescue i and Hawaii Rescue 2. Over.
CC: Okay. Understand the weather is generally good. It's 2000 scattered; lO; 10 knots from the east; 3-foot waves; altimeter, 3006. The Okinawa's there. The helos are Swim 2, l, and Recovery; C-130s are Hawaii Rescue i and 2.
CC: Roger, Jim. That's right. And noting on the altimeter, that means your DELTA-H is minus 128.
CMP: Roger. We're getting ready to activate the command module RCS and turning LOGICS and ARMS on.
CC: And, 15, we're ready to watch that.
CMP: Okay. LOGIC i coming on now. LOGIC 2 on - now.
CC: Roger. You're GO for pyro arm.
CMP: Roger. GO for pyro arm. Okay.

CC: Roger. Ring 2 looks good.
CC: And, 15, ring i looks good to us also. ·
CMP: Can you see the solenoids operating down there? We can't hear them up here.
CC: Roger, 15. That's what we're watching, and we verified them all.
CDR: Okay; thank you, sir.
CC: Roger. We were unable to monitor rates down here because we weren't set up for it. And we'd like to suggest that you might go back and repeat that check again. We suggest ACCEL COMMAND in SCS; and you might try to monitor rates on board, and we'11 try to monitor them down here. What we're looking at is only the solenoids down here and I guess, if you're really push, that isn't a verification.
UNKNOWN: Okay, Houston; 15. We're ready to test them now.
CC: All right. We're ready to watch.
CMP: Okay. They're loud and clear up here.
CC: 15, we're monitoring good rates.
CC: 15, Houston. You copy? We monitor good rates down here also.
CMP: Okay, Houston. We copied, and we're testing ring 1 thrusters now.
CC: And, 15, ring i looks okay to us again.
CC: Apollo 15, Houston. We can try a VHF check now, if you will.
CC: Roger. We're ready to try a VHF check, if you will. We'd like you to go to VHF ANTENNA, LEFT, and all of you turn off your S-bands and turn on T/Rs. your VHF
CC: 15 - -

LMP: Did that once, Bob. And I read you loud and clear, but apparently you were not reading us.
CC: That's apparently the case. And, Jim, I guess all we need is one of you to go to VHF T/R and S-band T/$OFF.
LMP: Okay, I'11 do that.
LMP: Houston, this is Apollo 15 on SIMPLEX A.
