CC: Okay. A1 and Ed, if we could get you both in %he field of view there for a minute, we've got a message for you.
CC: Okay. You're looking lovely, troops. 'Ay don't you take a pair and let me pass a message to y_u?
LMP: Okay. (ONFIDENTIAI.
MCC: Ok_. We were very pleased a few minutes ago to reo_ive a phone call here in Mission Control from President Nixon. He asked me to extend to you and Stu his best congratulations. He said that, like millions of people all over the world, he is an astronaut watcher at this time. The picture is coming in very well at the White House, he said. The President said he knew how many thousands of people had worked on this mission without whom men would not be walking safely on the moon. He asked that I wish the Apollo - entire team, well. The President said he was proud of you and proud of them. He sent you a wire Just before the flight wishing you Godspeed, and he wishes you well on your return flight. The President also asked me to invite you to the W_ite House for dinner and to your spend the weekend at Camp David with families after the mission is completed. Over. Deke. much.
CDR: That's fine, Thank you very And we appreciate those kind words.
LMP: Thank you, And convey our thanks to the President, please.
CC: Roger. Will do. I don't think Stu got this, but we'11 see he gets it later. first.
CDR: Okay. You ready? Get the wheels
LMP: Wheels out.
CDR: Tires ... up.
LMP: 1_0, gear down and locked.
CDR: Both tires are inflated properly on the MET.
CC: Wait a minute.
CDR: Okay. Put it there.
CDR: Let's get that .... set up here - there we go.
LMP: Well, I see we've had visitors again.
CDR: Hardly worth mentioning.
UNKNOWN: Agree.
CDR: Okay. Houston, as you can see, the MZT is deployed properly.
CDR: Looks like it - looks like it's in good shape.
LMP: Okay. I'11 get a camera.
CDR: Okay, if you ws_nt to - Okay, that's right here - I'11 move around to put the TV camera on the scientific equipment bay.
CC: Antares, Houston. We'd like to get an EbgJ status report at this point.
CDR: Okay. CDR is 3.7 and reading 72_ no flags, i'm on low flow and in good shape.
LMP: And the LMP is 3.7 and reading 67 percent; iow flow, low cooling, and feeling great.
CDR: TV camera - -
CDR: - - TV camera is covered, and proceeding te the rear of the LM to observe the deployment of the ALSEP.
CDR: Okay, Houston. The cover is coming off the lens now. How does that look to you? CONFIDENTIA It
CC: Roger, Al. Are you - are you all the way back at the 30-foot position there? ... 30.
CDR: Well, it's about - it's abouz 30 right there, I'd say. A little hilly here.
CC: Okay. Our picture is moving around a lot; you're going to have to set it down and let it stabilize before we can tell you anything about it.
CDR: I'm trying to find a level spot, Bruce. We're in- -
CC: Okay. What zoom are you on?
CDR: We're on the side of the hill, as you probably have heard. And it may not stay; it may tip over.
CC: Can you poke one of the legs into the surface there?
CDR: That's what I'm doing at the moment.
CC: That's a pretty clumsy tripod, I realize.
CDR: Okay. Do you know, I think it will stay now?
CC: Okay. What zoom are you on? Back off the zoom some.
CDR: Yes. I think we'11 have to.
LMP: Okay, Bruce, can you see the bay?
CC: Wrong way.
LMP: I'm ready to start opening.
CC: Roger. I can see your hands very clearly. We close seem to be *** Hold that zoom, Al. Okay. Looks good.
LMP: Okay, the door is - guard door is open. Let's see, K-bay [?] door is open. Pulled a little stiffer than I expected in one-sixth g.
CC: Looking good though, Ed. And you all are within 9 minutes of the time line.
LMP: Okay. We'11 pick it up here in a little wh_!e. Okay. Ready with number 1.
CDR: Hey. Number 1, coming out.
LMP: Okay. Got her down.
CDR: Okay. I'm going to move it over a little bit here.
LMP: Okay. It's almost as heavy as you are.
CC: Who's talking? level
LMP: ... move over. Man, it's rough to find a soot to put anything. Okay. Number 2 is comin_ gut.
CDR: Okay, can you get that by yourself?
LMP: Well, it's - I think so. Let me - make sure. it's not going to vibrate too much? Okay, and it's on the surface. Oh, all this beautiful white paint is sure going to get filthy out here.
LMP: I'11 have to bend a little bit. I Just can't bend down to that,
UNKNOWN: And the handtool carrier's clear.
CC: Nothing, Ed. (JONFIDENTIA
CC: You know, I fully expect to see Stu and Ron come running around to pick up the pit pins and the thrown-away parts.
CDR: See this - Okay. I think there's a pretty level place right there.
CDR: 0ops. Excuse me.
LMP: Okay, I'm ready for the fuel cask.
CC: The handtool carrier, as you can undoubtedly see, is on the MET. No problems.
CDR: Okay. Temperature indicators on the mast show that there's been no heat.
LMP: And the cask is coming down.
CC: ... Ed.
CC: And it's down far enough, I believe.
CDR: Okay, stand by 1. Not the best place in the world to work. There we are.
LMP: Okay, if we can get the lid off of it.
LMP: Watch it. That's probably pretty hot. Okay, it's locked.
LMP: Th:nk so.
CDR: ... down a little bit. Got a little more in right there. There you go.
CDR: Okay, good. Houston, the lid is off the nuclear fuel cask. A_ld I have none of them - -
CC: Did you report TEM2_ levels?
CC: - - No TEMP indicators that are, black. You want to take that? Got me in midthrow there. Okay, it' s open.
LMP: Okay, the cask ready?
CDR: Okay. Ail set.
CDR: This slight slope is about as level as we can get from here.
CDR: Okay, looks good. Ail right, a little more this way. There you go. Very good.
CDR: The reading on that tube?
LMP: ° Yes. I'11 get it in a minute.
LMP: And, Houston, all of the temperature indicaz_rs are still white.
CDR: Okay, the doors are closed.
CDR: Okay, Houston. We're going to :lover the teievison camera, load it back to its original location.
CC: Roger, Al. For your information, you're approxi- mately 7 minutes behind the time line at this point.
CDR: Okay. Where do you think's a good spot for the ALSEP ?
LMP: Oh, boy. That's going to be tough, Al. I'd Just head out toward Doublet out there and let's lcok.
LMP: RLg_t toward Doublet.
CDR: I think that's the best way. Aim for the center ,of Doublet. Aim for the - Yes, aim for the center of D_ublet, and let's go from there. However, I think maybe we better go a little further south, or we're going to violate that CCIG constraint if we go too far north. How about toward the south edge of Doublet?
LMP: Hey, why don't you point it - point it at us, and we'11 just pick it up on the way out?
LMP: You ought to point it at us, and we'11 pick it up on the way out.
CDR: Well, we're supposed to - Okay, right now - you can put it here and watch the _T deployment, if you like.
CDR: Okay, Houston. We're about - a 40-foot zoom now - on the area of the MESA and the MET. How does that look?
CDR: Houston, are you with us?
CC: Roger. Lev's go to 50.
CDR: Okay, 50.
CC: And come right about 3 degrees. Very good.
CDR: Okay. Got the television camera there?
LMP: Yes, it's down in the bottom.
LMP: Bey, Bruce. As I mount these 70-millimeter cameras on the MET, I just flip the little spring clip; I just pick up the whole MET and drag it along. I can't do that when they get - get a little more weight on there.
CC: Okay. We got that, Ed. Be sure you get the large scoop on there replaced.
LMP: Yes. Okay. Bruce, I've put on two Hasselblads, and I'm going ahead and getting the t6-millimeter on and getting it out of my way right now.
CC: Okay, Ed. Two Hasselblads plus the 16-millimeter.
CDR: Right. And I've just started the TV bracket, and I'm open - getting ready to open SRC number 1. Okay. Black-and-white television - -
CC: And, Al, have you gotten - Roger.
CDR: Black-and-white TV camera's on the plus-Y strut - on the footpad.
CC: With the white surface normal to the line of the Sun?
CDR: That's correct. On dimension horizontal.
CC: Roger. Roger. And on magazine Charlie-Char!ie, I show you still have 3 minutes remaining.
LMP: Okay. We'11 leave it on there, then.
CDR: Okay, SRC-1 is open. Okay.
LMP: Oh, damn, dropped the weigh bag.
CDR: I can give you some tongs, if you want them.
LMP: Okay. It will probably save *** any dirtier than necessary. Well, Z dropped both of them. The ***
CDR: Okay. May as well put them in the pocket when you're through.
LMP: Okay. ONFIDENT
CDR: Okay, Houston. Magazine double Dog and double Easy going on the _T.
LMP: *** handle.
CC: Roger. Delta-Delta and Echo-Echo.
CDR: Take that baby up a little.
LMP: Yes .... and while you're getting that ready, let me slip these babies in there.
UNKNOWN: That's what I'm sweating.
LMP: *** these suits are *** These boots are sure ***
CDR: _d the sand's a little different, too.
CDR: Well, now.
CDR: Dsmm itZ
LMP: There it goes again.
CDR: I should have lifted it up with one hand and then put it do_n.
UNKNOWN: Lift it up and do what?
CDR: Lift it up with one hand and put it over the other.
LMP: That's what I was going to do - this time.
UNKNOWN: Okay. It's a bit longer than expected.
CDR: 0k_y, Houston. I've got three core tubes, no tabs.
CDR: And, Houston, I finally succeeded in getting two weigh bags. And one SESC in, so far - in addition to the other things, plus the core tube cap assembly.
LMP: Okay, you putting on the other SESC?
CDR: I've got the other SESC now.
LMP: The problem here is the clips are so tight tt_% it takes a monumental amount of force to get them in there. Course, that's the way we asked for them; can't complain. And, Houston, I'm sealing the organic sample at this point.
CDR: Okay, anti we'11 put this one in the pocket ....
LMP: Okay, Houston. I have the closeup camera.
CC: Roger. Still reading on even hundreds?
LMP: I'm not vhere yet.
UNKNOWN: Didn't want that to get away from me, but it did. Got it. Okay. Houston, it's turned on, ana iz's reading 300.
CDR: Okay, can you see that little flag, Ed?
CDR: Ed, can you see that little flag all right?
LMP: Yes, I think I can see that. Good show.
LMP: Okay, and here's one b_mmer for you.
UNKNOWN: finally got to touch the flight gnomon.
CC: 21 Nancy.
CDR: (Laughter) Glad you're still with us, Bruce. Okay. Break there. ONFIDEN
CDR: Okay, let's put that baby over here. That your last item?
LMP: Let me doubleeheck. Let's see, 1, 2, 3 - -
CDR: Okay, Houston. We'11 start a rundown here; I think we are about ready.
CDR: Got the core tube cap assembly, extension handle, two sets of - two sets of tongs. We have a num.foered geophone anchor on the front. We have the tether, the gnomon, the hammer, the scoop. Three core t_es, 35 bag dispensers, closeup camera, two SESCs, two 70-millimeter cameras with solar ex- terior, one 16-miilimeter camera and one _G, four weigh bags, two maps, extra number geophone flag, large scoop is on, right. Large scoop is on, and we're taking the trenching tool with us.
CC: Okay, and you should have 16-millimeter and two MAGs.
CDR: Tk_t correct; we have a total of, I was just going to say, a total of three _Gs; one is almost used and the other two are clean. You with us? You with us?
CC: Roger. Looks good.
CDR: Okay. Let me just look at something.
CC: Arld why don't you give us EMU status check before you set out?
LMP: Okay, the LMP is reading 3.75 and about 55 percent medium to low - low cooling. Doing great.
CC: Okay. Say again the percentage, Ed.
LMP: it looks like I'm reading 50 - No, sorry about that.
CDR: Man, it's hard to see.
LMP: Yes. I'm reading 55 percent, Bruce.
CDR: You're reading lower than that. It must be.
LMP: No, I'm reading more than that. I'm reading 55 percent.
CDR: You are? Okay.
CDR: Okay, Al is at 3.75, reading 62 percent, and i have no flags; I'm on MIN cooling and I'm very comfortable.
CC: Roger. Out. And we need to point the TV ca,.era out to the ALSEP site.
UNKNOWN: Al, I'11 go get it.
CDR: Let me zoom on out and get that. I think I'11 aim it a little bit to the left of - that bright crater on the side of the west wall of - of Doublet.
UNKNOWN: Hey, that's a good place, Al.
CC: Say, Al, if there's any uncertainty as to the deployment area, we'd rather go to a zoom of 100 instead of a zoom of 150; but if you think you've got a good site picked out now, why, we can go to 150.
CDR: I think we can find a good site. We may be a little closer to Doublet than the - than the map shows, because of the grade going up there; but I think there's a level site fairly close to the south rim of Doublet, and we'11 aim the camera in that general direction and give you 150 zoom. Focus at infinity.
CDR: Okay. You should be able to see, on the right side of your picture when I settle dcwn here. You should be able to - *** IC O NFIDENT,- ttLm
LMP: Al, you can get quite a ways further out, if you want to; youtve got a little cable left.
CDR: *** we're aimed right for the south *** Doublet now, South Doublet; and you'11 probably be able to see *** star crater right in the very edge of your field of view. *** stop okay?
CC: Yes, f-stop's fine. I've got what looks like two ridges and then the horizon in the picture, and I see a - just past the second ridge - -
CDR: It may be two small boulders.
CC: Okay, may be.
LMP: Okay. I think we can find something out there that fits the bill.
CDR: Okay. I'11 go pick up the barbell.
LMP: Ail right. The LR cubed is there on the front step.
CC: Al, this is Houston. We'd like to try f/22 and peak.
CDR: Okay_ you caught me just in time.
CDR: Okay; f/22 and peak. How does that look to you?
CC: Roger_ AL. And we'd like to elevate a little bit, so that we get the horizon in.
CDR: Okay, we'11 try. How's that?
CC: See if you can depress a little now. It's real touchy at this long focal length.
CDR: Okay. We'11 try to depress a little bit.
CDR: Okay, you still have the horizon?
CC: Okay, that looks good for elevation; and if you've got us aimed at your proposed deployment site, we're GO.
CDR: Well, it looks like that's the way we're going. You'11 Just have to stay in that line of sight, Bruce.
CC: Roger. You want a GCA_
CDR: Yes. I think if you aim for a little to the left of that - -
CC: Well, our ASR isn't working very well; but if we can once get you in the field of view, we'11 acquire you.
LMP: Roger. I'm headed over that way.
LMP: Can you see *** yet, Bruce_
CC: Negative, Ed. I believe you're off to our left.
LMP: They won'v get in the field of view until we get up pretty close to the site. Okay.
CC: Okay. You're coming in now.
LMP: Okay. I'm going to stop here and rest for a minute, AL. This darn thing is heavier than i expected.
CC: Okay, Ed. We've got you in the field of view cvet to the left, now.
LMP: Okay. A1 should be coming in right now, too.
CDR: Looks as if it might be a little secondary impact crater here by me.
LMP: Man, there's so many different t_.pes of craters around here, you could - we could spend the whole EVA within a hundred yards of the LM. Okay, lead on and I'11 follow and watch the MET for you.
CDR: Okay. Going to your right.
CDR: Okay, Houston. We're proceeding over a very fine- grain regolith we described before. Undulating surface getting more sloped - - tONFIDENT
CC: Oka_. You need to angle left Just a little bit.
CDR: Left?
CC: Yes, you're doing fine, now.
LMP: Say, Houston. This looks like brown talcum powder; it's so fine in most places.
CDR: I think the Sun angle is increasing now.
CC: The M_T's going off to the right.
CDR: The MET's trying to find a smooth place to go.
LMP: Al, I think you'11 have to go around this crater, here, to the left. i think we can find our way dorm. Good heavens, that's a deep hole. But I guess we can get it - make it, either way.
LMP: I said we could make it, either way.
LMP: See those two over there at 10 o'clock? Al, we can see those are on the map.
CDR: The two at 10 o'clock?
CDR: Yes. Okay, Houston. We'11 be dropping down out of sight for a while, probably. Going down in - in a depression.
CDR: Well, I don't know.
UNKNOWN: I don't know either. Let's stop a minute, Al.
CDR: I'm not sure but what we've picked just about as gcod a spot as anywhere.
CDR: It looked a little further out here, because of being closer to zero phase, perhaps.
LMP: I think that's it, but it's no1; a bit smoother than the other. I'11 be darned if I know what to do.
CDR: Well, we'11 move on a little closer to Doublet.
LMP: Well, I think the first ridge over there, about another 75 yards, might be our answer. Right beyond this next - these next two craters.
CDR: Yes, I think so. It's probably a pretty good spot. About right up there.
CDR: Okay, Houston. We're in the general area of the planned ALSEP deployment now - on the chart, it's in a depression, and I think we'11 move on a little closer to Doublet to give it a Zhigher elevation.
CC: Roger. You're visible from - about the armpits up, right now.
LMP: Think you ought to press a little - bear a little to the left, Al.
CDR: Yes. I guess we'11 have to. Nothing like being up to your armpits in lunar dust,.
LMP: I think just to the left of that rock that's ahead of us, it provides a path through here.
CDR: The MET seems to be riding very well, Houston. It's bouncing a little bit, making nice tire marks, but not about to turn over. It jumps about a foot every time it hits a small rise, but very stable.
CC: Are you getting any dust thrown up by the tires?
LMP: No. There is a little bit, Bruce, but it's not - the dirt feels to be kind of clumpy.
CDR: Okay, I guess that ridge is the best place. t[ONFIDENI
UNKNOWN: still on your television_ Bruce?
CC: Yes, indeed. You're very well centered.
CDR: *** ought to be coming back in now; we're coming up to - the grade here.
CC: Roger. I can see your shadows now, so - i guess - in fact, I can see your feet; so, you're well in view.
LMP: Okay, about another 30, 40 feet now, and I think we're as good as we're going to get.
CDR: Yes. _at we're discussing here, Houston, is - grade going up to South Doublet. It is very consistent, and it's difficult to find a level place.
LMP: Okay. Let's set it down and look for a minute, Al.
LMP: %hen, we can see here where we are.
LMP: I don't know but what this - this rise we're standing on right here - it's about as good as ar_. Okay, now, there's a 20-meter crater there.
CDR: Okay. You got that other map on there, too?
LMP: Yes, it's in the pocket. Now, let's see. Okay, the one - that one rigb_ - right there. Let's see if we carl find those. The big one. May i see i_ a minute? Can we spot that one and those two ?
CDR: That one's right over there, I believe. Isn't it? Taat's an old rounder one right there. See what I mean?
LMP: Yes, that may be. What's this one right here? That one right beside it. Oh, I don't know whether we're that far out or not, Al.
LMP: ... that little, looking for that little distance thing. Here we go.
LMP: Okay, I'd say we're probably about 400 feet out, almost directly out in front. Plus-X.
CDR: I think ... 80 meters along the track.
UNKNOWN: Look here. See that crater right in between those two traverse tracks?
LMP: Okay, those two craters and that crater that you pointed out.
LMP: Okay_ I think that one between the traverse tracks is that one right there.
LMP: On the hill, the two - those right over there and the one you pointed out, this one, is that one over there, the big one behind it. Now, I think it's out of sight, unless it's that one over thera.
CDR: Well, where do you think we are_
LMP: I think that we are to the north - I think we're about BR; and, let's see, we're south of that - We're about CQ 0.8 and 62.5 - 61.5.
CDR: Did you read that, Houston2
CC: Roger. Charlie Quebec 8 at 61.5 NFIDENTI,/II i
CDR: Okay. Let's move directly toward that big rock ut; there, about halfway between here and there. It's about right up in there.
UNKNOWN: Yes. I need _his clear area down here for that th_._pe r.
CDR: Okay, let's put it right up in there.
LMP: Righ% up there, on that spot?
CDR: Yes, you got it. Okay, Houston. Wetre going to move about 10 meters to the west-northwest from those coordinates th._t Ed gave you. That will be waere the ALSEP central station will go. We reserve the right to change our mind as to where we are, when we get up on the hilltop.
CDR: -'m going to have tc pull it over here a little, Zd; there's a crater there.
UNKNOWN: _ vhat's - that's right about where we are.
CC: 2kay, we've lost the HET off to the right of our _ ic_ure.
UNKNOWN: k_at's wrong with right about here? It would just be a nice clear shot down there with the thu_per.
CDR: {}an you still see Ed, Houston?
CC: Yes, he's at the extreme right-hand edge of our picture, Al; and you're off.
UNKNOWN: Okay. We'11 turn them back on. This is where _{e're going to deploy.
CC: Well, i guess the primary consideration, of course, is to find a good site, and our being able to watch Zou is secondary.
CDR: Yes. We understand, but it's all pretty much the same; the upslope is abcut - _ or 5 degrees, pockmarked by all types of craters. They're all old craters; but, nonetheless, they produce a very uneven surface. And I think we've found a spit here as reasonable as we'11 find an_-_here.
UNKNOWN: Let's see, Al. But those two craters right vhere are going to be in the way. I thin_c i'd li/.e zo move back here about 5 feet. Better than having to run through those going soutlh. Cr I can leave a central station about where I'?e got it, I mean, the power generator. Think that'li he all right ?
CDR: Y_e you done with your thumper _iecp!lone line?
UNKNOWN: Yes, I'm through.
CDR: Your line will put you right tLrougl_ those _;wc craters. That'11 give you a good reference.
UNKNOWN: Well, I'm going to have to go this way, sc -- _;..:- cause I can't fire into that ridge, i've gom zJ _'r:: puZ it more north, right up fha:; way. Then, going to go right down across through there, iia_, this looks good to me, if you're ha_:cy with iz. s_:ot
UNKNOWN: Let's see. Southwest is right - The best is right through those two craters.
UNKNOWN: I'm going to have to go almost due souzh of the - -
CDR: i mean, southeast of these.
UNKNOWN: I'm going so have to go due sou_z:h.
UNKNOWN: Okay, you can go by the right e:!.ge cf that hacy.
UNKNOWN: Okay, very good. Okay, we've g;:t a spot, Hous_ n. We will proceed with the depioy_.._ent.
UNKNOWN: We're not quite as far from thosle ccorainates as we thought we were.
CC: Roger, Antares. it,CONFIDENT44.
CDR: __i_ay, Houston. We will start the 16 millimeter going here and - We may have to change magazines.
CC: Okay, give me a hack.
CDR: i 11 give you a hack.
CC: Roger. I'11 keep track. AP.d, if you have a free minute, we would like some conur..entary on the depth _ the MET tracks.
UNKNOWN: Well, it's - Bruce, let us take a picture for it after a while. We can see the MET track clear back to the i_. They're about three-quarter of aa inch deep.
CC: R3ger.
CDR: Can't get any closer without falling in that crater, Ed.
UNKNOWN: it's fine right there, Al.
UNKNOWN: Okay. ... six frames per second.
UNKNOWN: I can see that this is going to be a considerably _owe. process than I expected
CC: bias he started it yet, Al?
CDR: }_,_iRK. Camera's running six frames per second.
CC: Pioger.
CC: And, for reference, A! and W__d,you're about 29 minu%es behind the time line at this point. Over.

LMP: Okay. Watch it.
CDR: There it goes. Okay, watch that - ''
LMP: Is there anything that's not tied on?
CDR: That's loose, yes. I've already taken those out.
LMP: Okay, I'11 hold it. and
