LMP-EVA: Okay, chassis hinge pins are good on my side.
CDR-EVA: Now if I could get the telescoping rods off.
CDR-EVA: Okay, let's - Jim. Hold on a minute there. Let's - I'm not sure the telescoping rods are disconnected. Let's pick it up and move it back and turn it around. Okay?
LMP-EVA: Okay, turn it what, your way?
CDR-EVA: No, your way.
LMP-EVA: Okay. (Laughter). Wait a minute. Not dis- connected. Let me - Put it down right there. And maybe take it forward a little bit, huh?
CDR-EVA: Well, the pin's out. The rods. The whole saddle up here is still on. Both pins are out. See what I mean?
UNKNOWN: I think we can maybe lift the front end up, can't we?
CDR-EVA: Try.
LMP-EVA: Let me get in there and lift it up. Maybe - Here. Let me pull it this -
CDR-EVA: Wait a minute. Let's - let me twist it this way to give you a little more room. Okay. See that saddle. Oh, you'11 never get in there with the PLSS, Jim.
LMP-EVA: Am I too tight?
CDR-EVA: Yes. Forget it.
CC: Jim - -
CDR-EVA: Hey, Houston -
CC: - - verify you pulled the saddle pin, please.
CDR-EVA: Any suggestions?
LMP-EVA: Yes, the saddle pin has been pulled. I've got to somehow -
CDR-EVA: Okay. Joe, the situation is that both pins are out of the saddle, and it still seems to be con- nected to the frame of the LRV.
CC: Roger. We copy, and we're working it.
LMP-EVA: Let's finish setting up the Rover, huh?
CDR-EVA: I remember a guy who once said "dirt dirt" and it is [sic] ever! Pshew!
CC: Dave and Jim, pull the Rover as far out as you can away from the LM, and then pull c_ the front end, if you could.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Standby.
CC: And, by that, we mean lift up on the front end.
CDR-EVA: What's that - You mean pull up?
LMP-EVA: Yes. Lift up on the front end. Yes. We copy, Joe.
CDR-EVA: Get this down here, so I don't ...
CDR-EVA: Okay, let's try that, Jim. Okay?
LMP-EVA: Okay, pull it out as back - far as we can?
LMP-EVA: Back as far as we can? Okay, I'm ready.
LMP-EVA: That's about as far back as we are going to be able to get it, Dave.
LMP-EVA: If you want to hold it there, I'11 get in front of it - -
LMP-EVA: - - and try to lift it up.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I'm holding it.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Yes, if I can clear this -
CDR-EVA: Now, your PLSS is hung up, Jim ....
UNKNOWN: It's coming. - -
LMP-EVA: - - there we go.
CDR-EVA: Good show. Okay, let's turn it - -
LMP-EVA: Okay, Joe, it's off.
CDR-EVA: Let's turn it around now, Jim.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Okay, I've got my grip here, Dave. We'11 turn it -
CDR-EVA: Yes, my way. Cane to your left; don't - don't walk back - Just swing left.
CMP-EVA: That a boy.
LMP-EVA: We want to get a downhill run here.
CDR-EVA: Yes, back up a little bit now. Just back up a little bit. Go in reverse. You. That's good, right there.
CDR-EVA: Watch. Put your ball behind you.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) I've been watching that all morning. I Just about fell on it.
CDR-EVA: I noticed. Have you got your side of the console unlocked?
LMP-EVA: Yes, it's unlocked.
CDR-EVA: Lock it.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Okay, my side is locked.
CDR-EVA: And my side is locked.
LMP-EVA: This side looks okay, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Man, they've really done it with the velcro. 78/27 Tape
LMP-EVA: Yes, you almost have to pull against the sheer force of that to get it - to get the seat up. I had to really - really tug at it.
CDR-EVA: Yes, manl
CDR-EVA: It's awfully bouncy too, isn't it. Okay. Get your seat belt out later, I reckon.
LMP-EVA: ..., I might as well get it now.
LMP-EVA: Give a holler when you're ready to drive, Dave, I'11 come out and take pictures.
CDR-EVA: Okay? ... fenders. You've got a fender, Jim. Get your fenders?
LMP-EVA: No, I haven't.
CDR-EVA: Go ahead. I'11 get them.
CDR-EVA: Boy, is this dirt softl Man!
UNKNOWN: Like soft powdered snow.
CDR-EVA: Really is.
LMP-EVA: It's a little different - different -
CDR-EVA: Okay, looks like the brake's on, reverse is down, so I'11 see if I can't hop in it.
CDR-EVA: That's a reasonable fit.
CC: Okay, Dave. And buckle up for safety here.
CDR-EVA: Oh, yes. Okay, safety belt's on.
CDR-EVA: Oh, you sit up a lot higher than in one g, but that makes sense, does it? Okay, hand controller is locked. Brakes on, reverse is down. Circuit breakers all except the AUX and the NAV are coming.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I get readings on bus B.
CDR-EVA: All the switches are off, by the way. Okay, switches are all closed. Okay, Houston, are you ready to copy some numbers?
CDR-EVA: Okay. Amp-hours, 105 and 105. Amps, of course, _ are at zero. The - Okay, volts: on number i I've got about 82, and number 2 is reading zero. Hmm. Uhl Okay and on the battery temperature, I'm reading 68 - about 78 and 80. And the motor temps are off scale low, of course.
CDR-EVA: And the only discrepancy so - and the only dis- crepancy so far - I don't have any volts on number 2.
CDR-EVA: PWM SELECT is BOTH; DRIVE ENABLE, 2 in forward: PM - PWM 1, reverse; PWM 2. And Houston, I'11 stand by for any comments you might have on that readout.
CC: Roger, Dave. I know you've rechecked your cir- cuit breakers there.
CDR-EVA: That's correct. The circuit breakers are all in.
LMP-EVA: Dave, Just let me know before you drive.
CC: Dave, we're standing by for you to drive away and monitor the AMPS - the AMPS on battery 2, please.
CDR-EVA: Okay, will do. Okay, 15 VOLT DC is going to SECONDARY. STEERING: FORWARD, BUS A; and REAR to BUS D. Power, forward to DRIVE POWER, forward to BUS A - BUS A.
CC: Roger, Dave - -
CDR-EVA: And to EJS D.
CC: - - and if battery 2 is out on us, we'11 have no rear steering or no rear drive. Just be advised.
CDR-EVA: Okay, got a detent; we're moving.
CC: Extraordinary.
CDR-EVA: Hey, Jim, you can probably tell me if I've got any rear steering.
LMP-EVA: Yes, you have rear steering.
CC: Do you have - -
CDR-EVA: But I don't have any front steering.
CC: - - Amps on BAT 2, Dave?
CDR-EVA: - - Joe, you sure about that battery bit? Nega- tive. But I don't have any front steering, Joe.
LMP-EVA: Got Just rear steering, Dave.
CC: And, Dave, while you're rolling there, requesting FORWARD STEERING to BUS C, BUS Charlie.
CDR-EVA: Okay. STEERING, FORWARD to BUS Charlie. Still no forward steering, Joe.
LMP-EVA: Okay, got another suggestion? Roger.
CC: Cycle that forward steering circuit breaker, please.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I go to BUS Charlie and the circuit breaker is cycled. No forward steering, Joe.
CC: Roger, Dave. Press on.
CDR-EVA: Okay. That's a good idea. Here, Jim, I'm going to bring her around here and let's get on with it.
CDR-EVA: Boy, you're going to have a great time with all these hills and mounds around.
CDR-EVA: Okay, you think you can handle it there?
LMP-EVA: Yes, that's good.
CDR-EVA: Okay, brake's on. DRIVE POWER, 4 coming OFF. OFF on the steering. OFF on a 15 VOLT DC. Okay, temps look about the same, Houston.
CDR-EVA: Jim, soon as you get that dust brush out, I want to brush off so we don't get the old Rover too dirty.
CDR-EVA: You know. As I look back behind us. It almost looks like we landed in a - Another, oh, 10 meters aft and we'd have been in Surveyor Crater.
CC: And, Dave and Jim, you're both off the TV camera now. We're standing by for description of your progress.
CDR-EVA: We'11 be back on occasionally as we get to the MESA. Back with you now?
CC: Don't worry about it, Dave. We see you starting to come into view now. - -
CDR-EVA: Here. I tell you what I'm going to do, Joe, - I'm going to move the TV camera because it'11 save us time if we don't have to tell you what we 're doing.
CC: Okay, fine. Don't -Nev- -
CC: Roger, Dave. Perfect.
LMP-EVA: I have the 16 millimeter on the Rover.
LMP-EVA: And the Commander's 70 millimeter's over there. _-_
CDR-EVA: This is really tricky working on this slope in this soft material.
LMP-EVA: It sure is.
CC: We copy, Dave and Jim, and we're standing by for an EMU status check. - - 78/31 Tape
LMP-EVA: Let me know when you're finished - -
CDR-EVA: Okay, I'm reading 38 on my gage. Flags are clear, and I'm reading 75 percent.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'm reading 385, flags are clear, and I'm reading 75 percent.
LMP-EVA: Trying to - like walk up out of a crater each time. Uh! Boyl
CDR-EVA: Can you make it?
LMP-EVA: Yes, I'11 make it. I don't know how it's going to work when I get that geology pallet. Might need a little help there .... Okay, I have a flag - I have a tone, rather.
CDR-EVA: I got one. I guess I heard yours.
CDR-EVA: Got any flags, Jim.
LMP-EVA: I can't Quite see it. No, I don't have any flags.
CC: We concur, Jim. No flags.
LMP-EVA: Are you finished at the MESA for a little bit, Dave ?
CDR-EVA: Oh, no. This - -
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'm going to -
CDR-EVA: - - beauty is really tight.
CC: And, Dave, this is Houston. Be advised Jim's got a flap hanging from the lower right-hand corner of his PLSS which perhaps you could button up the next time you're close to him.
CDR-EVA: Yes, okay. It's his water flap.
LMP-EVA: Yes, I can see that in the shadow.
CDR-EVA: Yes, we're going to have to do some cleaning of him and get that dirt off so we got - ... thermal problems. Take this out.
LMP-EVA: Hey, I've got a tone again. I guess that stuff Just -
CDR-EVA: What, Jim? Flags are clear.
CDR-EVA: His TCU was wedged in very tightly.
CC: Jim, all our numbers on you look good down here.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I keep getting a tone.
CC: And, Jim, this is Houston requesting an EMU MAL number 5 procedure when you get to a convenient break point, over.
LMP-EVA: Okay, _U number 5.
CDR-EVA: Need some help with that.
LMP-EVA: I think I'11 get it, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I'm going to come button your flap here.
UNKNOWN: I'd better take a break and find out what's causing the tone.
CDR-EVA: Yes, I think you'd better. Why don't you Just go through _U nt_nber 5, and I'm just going to close your flap here. Matter of fact -
LMP-EVA: I don't have any flags at all.
CDR-EVA: Stand still a minute so I can get this flap, Jim.
UNKNOWN: Check my diverter ....
CC: And, Jim, if you want, I'11 step you through this procedure.
LMP-EVA: - - valve back there for me, Dave, while you're there.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Diverter valve is in INTERMEDIATE. Tape '[813'_
LMP-EVA: Okay, Joe, I'm looking at EMU number 5.
CC: Roger. Use the step that's greater than 3.4 - -
LMP-EVA: ... do you want me to cycle the MODE SELECT switch?
CC: - - and after tone off, cycle MODE SELECT switch to A and then to AR. No tone.
CC: No vent or 02 fail.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'm getting a P in the vent window.
LMP-EVA: I have a P in the vent window.
LMP-EVA: I'11 cycle the fan.
CC: Roger. Copy you're cycling your fan.
LMP-EVA: Yes. Fan's back on. I have good flow, Joe, -
LMP-EVA: But I have a P in the vent window.
LMP-EVA: Keep a watch on it. I'm going to press on slowly.
CC: And, Jim, we think we Just have a flag and tone problem. All your numbers look clean as can be down here.
LMP-EVA: Wells that's encouraging. Dave, do you want me to - Are you finished with the this pallet that's here at the MESA.
CDR-EVA: Oh, yes, you can dump it. I had to take the pallet out to get the TCU off.
CC: And, Dave, you're setting a new outdoor record with each toss there.
CDR-EVA: That's pretty neat. At least we won't clutter up the immediate vicinity.
LMP-EVA: Joe, I have a tone again, but I won't even bother telling you cause it's -
CC: Roger, Jim, that's true. - -
LMP-EVA: ... hopeless.
CC: - - We can tell when you get a tone down here. We hear it as well.
CDR-EVA: So do I, Jim.
LMP-EVA: Disturbs you too, doesn't it?
CDR-EVA: Yes. Sure does.
CDR-EVA: That tape for the MESA blankets is something again.
LMP-EVA: Hardly deployed, already?
LMP-EVA: You can tell, Joe, I have the GEO pallet on the back end of the Rover. I don't know whether it's locked on there properly yet.
LMP-EVA: Well, it looks like the pallet is secured to the _-_ Rover.
LMP-EVA: And taking a hand rails off.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe, I'm going to put the TV on the Rover now, if you're ready, and so far the LCRU is on, locked, cable's connected, the high gain antenna bootee is on. I'11 get the antenna as soon as we get the TV on.
CC: Roger, Dave. Have at it.
CDR-EVA: I'11 tell you, that Rover is a pretty picture out there.
LMP-EVA: Sure is. I hope ** pictures turned out.
LMP-EVA: Okay, SRC-1 is going to the table, Joe.
CC: Okay, Dave, and we lost the picture.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I'11 have it back for you in a Jiffy here.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'm closing the control sample, and -
LMP-EVA: - $RC.
LMP-EVA: And ... bag I going -
LMP-EVA: ***hand tool carrier.
CDR-EVA: There goes the old TV. Trouble getting it to fit today.
CDR-EVA: And the TV handle is down in the side so you get your *** ...
LMP-EVA: And I'm configuring the GEO pallet now, Joe.
CDR-EVA: The TV cable is connected.
CDR-EVA: Okay, L - LCRU's circuit breaker is closed. And the LCRU POWER is going to INTERNAL. CTV POWER switch to ON - with the antenna coming up.
CMP: Allo, Terre. Salute de l'Endeavour.
CC: Endeavour, this is Houston. How are things going up there?
CMP: Roger, Karl. Going okay, I think we might have a problem also with the MASS SPEC boom. Let me give you some times here. The mapping camera retracted in 4 minutes and 30 seconds. The g,mma ray re- and tracted in 2 minutes 30 seconds. I'm sorry, the mapping camera extended in 4 minutes and g,mma 30 seconds, the ray retracted in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. And the MASS SPEC I let retract for about 4 minutes, didn't get a gray, went to deploy for a few seconds, back to retract a few seconds, and it finally went gray and retract. So I don't really have a good accumulative time on - c_ how long it was in barber pole.
CC: Al, you may be interested to know that Dave is walking around on the lunar surface now.
CC: And I have a mapping camera pad, and a - -
CMP: I knew it was coming.
CC: - - and a Flight Plan update for you when you have a chance to copy. -_
CMP: Okay. You caught me right in the middle of breakfast. Stand - stand off on that for a while.
CC: No rush, no rush.
CC: Al, this is Houston. Why don't you go ahead and eat, and let me read up the science summary to yOU. 78/B7 Tape
CMP: Hey, good idea, Karl. Go ahead.
CC: Okay, here we go. In general, all orbital science experiments are working very well, and we have some very happy principal investigators. The X-ray PI reports count rates higher than expected, which gives good facial resolution. Real-time data shows a signature of magnesium, aluminum, and silicone, so far. And appear to be differences cropping up between the mare and the highlands. The mass spectrometer PI reports good operation with many peaks appearing, and so far they've clearly iden- tified neon and argon. Ga_na ray is happy, with improved data since separation of the LM - and spectral features are appearing in the data. The alpha particle experiment reports seeing a radon peak over Procellarum - and possibility of some other peaks over other areas of the Moon. I'11 let you know about - more about that later. The photo team tells us - the photo team tells us that the mapping camera is working well - and the laser is going great. The pan camera appears to be getting about 80 percent of its frames in good - in good Quality despite the V over H sensor prob- lem. And in general, they say, "Keep up the good work. It 's looking great."
CMP: Okay. What's the matter with the V over H on the - on the pan camera? You indicated yesterday, I guess, that there was a problem with it, but nobody ever explained what the problem was.
CC: Roger, Al. I'm not sure that it's well under- stood - it - it's - all we can say is that its operation is erratic; sometimes it manages to get the - the motion compensation right, and sometimes it doesn't quite make it. That's the problem we're working on down here trying to understand - -
CMP: I understand.
CC: - - in greater detail.
CC: Endeavour, let's have HIGH GAIN ANTENNA, AUTO, please.
CMP: A going AUTO.
CMP: Karl, if you've got a paper and pencil there while I'm - while I'm finishing up breakfast here, let me run down some cameras - magazines with you. I Just - took inventory of all the MAGs last night. And, thought I might Just read through the list for you, and-
CC: Okay. Hold on a second -
CMP: - You might see what is left on the MAG now.
CC: Hold on a second, and I'11 copy those. But there's a Flight Plan change in Just a few minutes I'd like to get to you. The mapping camera image motion, which is scheduled at 120:10, we'd like 120:16. to have at
CMP: Okay, understand. You want to slip that down to 120: 16.
CMP: Mapping camera image motion increase.
CC: That's affirmative, Al. And go ahead with your read-down.
CMP: Okay. As promised to Spencer, the MAGs are as follows. First, the 16-millimeter stuff; MAG A's been used 100 percent; MAG B's been used 100 per- cent; C and D haven't been used; E's been used about 4 percent; F is still full; G is full; H has been used 25 percent; I is full; J, K, and L are full. Okay, on the Hasselblad, I'11 call out the number of frames used. Okay. MAG M, Metro 100 - 1, 5, 3 are the frames used; and Nectar is 42; 0 is 39; and P and Q are 0; R is 20, and F is 40. And no 35-millimeter film has been used.
CC: That came through loud and clear, Al.
CMP: Houston, Endeavour. 78/39 Tape
CMP: Okay. Just thought I'd orient you a little bit as to where I am, Karl. At the present time, I am directly over Picard, and I'm coming up on Proclus, here, very shortly. And from this par- ticular angle, looking at Proclus, the fan pattern out of Proclus is really magnificent. It covers about, oh, I'd say, about 240 degrees of arc, and you can see the ray pattern way, way out into Crisium; way out into - into the highlands, both north, east, and south of Proclus. And, the ex- cluded zone is very well defined. It's very clear where - where the exclusion is. And I'11 give you a little better description when we get up closer to it.
CC: That sounds fantastic, Al. Do you think you're going to solve the secret of that excluded zone?
CMP: You never know.
CC: Al, could you please confirm that your H 2 FANS are OFF?
CMP: Negative, Karl. They're ON. Sorry about that.
CC: Okay. We'd like to have them OFF, Al.
CMP: Okay, they're OFF.
CC: And, they've Just been deploying the TV camera on the lunar surface, and we had some of our first looks at Hadley Delta and St. George, and what do you know, it looks Just like all the pictures they've been drawing for us.
CMP: Hey, super. It sure looks the same from up here.
CC: Endeavour, 15. Could we please have OPTICS ZERO?
CMP: Roger. OPTICS ZERO.
CC: And we've got 10 seconds for changing image motion on the mapping camera, Al.
CC: Al, there's no rush on it, but I'm waiting for your cue before I send up Flight Plan update.
CMP: Okay, Karl. I'11 be ready in a minute.
CC: Endeavour, this is Houston. Rover has Just hit the ground. You don't see it down below you, do you ?
CMP: I'm not quite there yet, Karl, but I'11 look when I go over.
CC: Endeavour, we'd like to have PAN CAMERA POWER, OFF.
CMP: Okay, all turned off now.
CC: Endeavour, the first part of that Flight Plan update is to delete the g-_ma - g,m_ ray boom deploy at /20:33. We want to be sure to get that one. Delete "g,mma ray boom, deploy."
CMP: Okay, Karl. I'11 delete it.
CMP: Okay, Karl. Looks like I'm set for business for the day now. And, go ahead with your Flight Plan update.
CC: Okay, Al. First of all, on the g,mma ray boom, the reason for that, is the fact that we're getting a little gain change every time that we deploy and retract it. It's not serious, but we'd like to sort of leave it as it is until we study the prob- lem a little longer. You've already deleted the extension at 120:33. We also, then, will delete _ the retraction at /21:27.
CMP: Okay. 121:27. Roger.
CC: And while you're on that page, the mapping camera photo -
CC: Roger. And while you're on that page the mapping camera photo pad is as follows. Start, 121:39:34; 122: 32: 43. Would you like to read that back?
CMP: Okay. 121:39:34, and T-stop is 122:32:43.
CC: That's correct. And Just on the same page again. The attitude - the attitude there at 121:37, in- stead of reading a roll angle of "000," should be "142." That's for the P20 option 5.
CMP: Okay, understand. Roll angle of 142.
CC: That's correct. The next correction is all the way up at 125 hours and 44 minutes.
CC: And, this is one of those general things. On re- porting the DELTA-P, it should be from switch ON to talkback gray.
CC: And, we have exactly the same thing at 129 hours and 20 minutes.
CMP: What was that again? What time was that?
CC: At 129:20, the same thing, the switch - the DELTA-P that you read back to us is switch ON to tAlkback gray. And really, I suppose, we should make this a generality - that we don't have to put it in the Flight Plan every time.
CMP: Roger. I'd agree to that.
CC: Incidentally, I have a question in that connection - says verify that times previous to 118 hours were from switch ON, beginning time. Do you recollect that ?
CMP: Karl, the way we time it on board here, is you have to hit the switch, and then look at the mission timer. Now, the - the gamma ray is taking about 6 seconds to go from switch ON to barber pole, the mass spec was going on immediately to barber pole, so it didn't m-ke any difference in the case of the mass spec. And in the gamma ray, the most it could be off is 6 seconds. _-_ gsmma
CC: Right. And, - I guess on the ray when you reported the time - do you recall which it was that you were giving us, switch ON or talkback barber pole ?
CMP: Talkback barber pole.
CC: Okay, fine. That's the way the instructions were, originally.
CC: We have a corm change. It's simply an error in our Flight Plan at 128:10.
CC: And, at 128-
CC: - at 128:10, the first step in that configuration is "VHF AM A, SIMPLEX." The second step is to change '_HF AM B," delete "DUPLEX," and make that "OFF."
CMP: Okay. Understand you want SIMPLEX A in, B - and B, O_.
CC: That's correct, and at 149 hours and 37 minutes, we do the same thing.
CMP: Okay, gotcha.
CC: And at 149:B7, we also want to add "mode VOX."
CMP: Okay. Understand, "mode VOX."
CC: Roger. And, I think the last item to come up is again the corem change at 169 hours and 20 minutes - that we put "A, SIMPLEX" and "B, OFF."
CMP: Okay, Roger. Got those.
CC: Okay. That takes care of our current Flight Plan updates.
CC: Incidentally, Al, we'd like to have the g_mma ray gain - gainstep go through its usual procedures here, even though we don't have the boom ex - extended.
CC: Al, we'd like to have the GAMMA RAY GAINSTEP back to the center position, please.
CC: Endeavour, this is Houston. The down-link doesn't seem to be coming through very good; could you give me a comm check?
CC: Roger. That's loud and clear, thank you.
CMP: Okay. I'm back on VOX now, Karl.
CC: Endeavour, this is Houston. Surface activities are coming along sw_mmfugly at the present time. The - the Rover has already been driven - made one circle around the I_M so far, and they're about ready to take off on traverse number 1.
CMP: Oh, very good. Got the Rover going, huh?
CMP: - - good.
CC: That's good news. And a time reminder here. Over at 21:03 is the time to configure the DSE, as you go around the corner.
CMP: Okay, Karl. 21:03. APOLLO 15 AIR-TO,GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
LMP-EVA: Okay; LCRU is going PM1/NARROW BAND.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Okay; I've got readings for you here, Houston, if I can get down to it.
CC: Okay, Dave.
CDR-EVA: The AGC - AGC is 2.7. Radiator temperature 1.6, and the power is 2.9.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I'm now going - You got a good check on the narrow band, Joe?
CC: And we're going to NARROW BAND. want
CDR-EVA: Hey, give me a call when you to go to TV REMOTE and I'11 do it.
LMP-EVA: How are you coming?
CDR-EVA: Fair. Boy, that ... - -
CC: Okay, Dave. How do you read Houston?
CDR-EVA: Houston. I read you loud and clear.
CC: Okay, Dave. TV REMOTE, please.
CDR-EVA: Okay; going to TV REMOTE.
CC: Ok - Okay, Dave. And continue on, please.
CDR-EVA: Okay. LCRU blankets are 100_percent open; connector covers are closed; the dish is deployed. See if I can find the Earth.
CDR-EVA: There she is. Okay; pointing right at you, Houston.
CC: Okay, Dave. Thank you.
CDR-EVA: Okay; she's all yours.
CC: Roger. No TV yet, but we're looking.
LMP-EVA: Got your favorite little gadget - -
LMP-EVA: - - got your favorite gadget stowed back here, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Oh, good.
CC: Okay, Jim. And, we assume, in the meantime, you're pressing on here.
LMP-EVA: Oh, yes. We're pressing on.
CC: Dave, we want you to verify the CTV switch, ON, please. And that the high gain's pointed in TV REMOTE.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe; stand by. I'11 go look.
CDR-EVA: Okay, we are in TV REMOTE; high gain is looking right at that - very pretty blue ball up there - at least half of the ball. I did turn the CTV, ON, I will - It's a spring-loaded switch; I'11 do it again.
CDR-EVA: And, it's spring loaded to neutral. It moves - I think - - Maybe that's Just Jim wiggling the rear end.
LMP-EVA: Wasn't me.
CC: Presto, change-o; there's the TV.
CDR-EVA: Oh, beautiful, I'm glad to hear that. Okay; your general direction right now, it's pointed to the southwest. You can probably look down and see the _ LM_ shadow. And, the Sun is at about 7:30 to you now, so, you don't get in that kind of trouble.
CC: Roger - Roger, Dave. We copy and hustle on, please.
CDR-EVA: Okay. In the seat pan on the CDR side: MAG E, MAG *** - MAG Oboe, MAG Kilo; the LRV map holder is out and - get it stowed here in a minute.
LMP-EVA: ... A.
CDR-EVA: MAG Lima is on the LB - LM_ camera.
CDR-EVA: 500 with MAG Metro - is in the seat pan and tucked away.
LMP-EVA: And, Joe, in bag 2, I have the core stems and caps. I put bag 2 under the - under my seat.
CC: Okay, Jim. Sounds good.
CC: And, the TV scenery for us is breathtaking.
CDR-EVA: Good. Can't be half as breathtaking as the real thing though, Joe; I'11 tell you. Wish we had time Just to stand here and look.
CDR-EVA: I'11 tell you, you might take a look at the old LM. She sure does a good Job - landing in this kind of terrain.
CDR-EVA: The BSLSS is on.
LMP-EVA: Bag number 4 is on the right of the tool carrier.
CDR-EVA: The unstable base sure makes a difference, doesn't it, Jim?
LMP-EVA: Sure does.
LMP-EVA: Okay. And, the sample bags are on the ***dividual - seats, Joe. I'm going to get the rake.
CDR-EVA: Have to rake a lot of this, wouldn't you?
LMP-EVA: Yes, that rake may be a good thing - because it doesn't look like we're going to have any - piles of chips around.
LMP-EVA: Okay; maps are in.
CDR-EVA: Okay; maps are on - and your sample-bag holder is on your camera, Jim.
CDR-EVA: And, I'11 put the Sun compass a - overlay map in my seat pan.
LMP-EVA: Okay; I'm securing the handtool kit - -
LMP-EVA: - - area here for driving.
CDR-EVA: Good. Hey, get the - Jim, before you go back, get the dust brush out - -
CDR-EVA: - - and, I want to get you dusted off.
LMP-EVA: Yes, I don't want to take all that dirt into the L_.
LMP-EVA: Boy, is it dirty.
LMP-EVA: Where are you on your time line, Dave?
CDR-EVA: Anytime you want to ingress, I'm ready for you.
LMP-EVA: Okay, you brush me off; I'11 go in.
CDR-EVA: Really are dirty.
LMP-EVA: I want you to get my antenna, too, before I go in.
LMP-EVA: My harness is still secure, isn't it?
CDR-EVA: Yes, harness is fine, except for the dirt.
CC: And, Dave, this might be a good time to button up the corner of Jim's PLSS there.
CDR-EVA: It's all buttoned; I got that a little while ago, Joe.
CC: Roger. Sorry, missed it. And, for your thinking, we're down about 25 minutes, but no problem.
CDR-EVA: Okay; I guess we expected that.
CDR-EVA: Hold the brush a minute and stand there. It did come off.
LMP-EVA: Okay; give me the brush. Try and get as much as we can.
CDR-LM: w** it'11 help if you kick your feet when you go in, because a lot of the stuff will come off.
CDR-EVA: Can you bend over a tad?
CDR-EVA: Yes, that's good. Okay; I think I got the - the major portion of it, Jim. antenna?
LMP-EVA: Okay, you want to stow my
CDR-EVA: Yes - Oh, let me get your front here.
LMP-EVA: *** work on a slope is another game, isn't it?
CDR-EVA: Okay. It's stowed.
LMP-EVA: You'11 stow the brush while I get in?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I'11 get the brush.
CDR-EVA: Be careful.
CC: And, Dave, this is Houston. While you're stowing the brush there, Just thinking ahead; we've got a couple of checks to carry out on the Rover before you drive off from the site.
CDR-EVA: Yes, that's good, Joe. Go ahead.
CC: Roger. We'11 want you to look at the front wheel steering decoupling lanyard for us, and then after that, physically try to turn the front wheels for US.
LMP-EVA: Why would anybody put a snap there?
LMP-EVA: Gee, watching me flounder around out here.
CDR-EVA: Okay; the decoupling lanyard is taped down, Joe. I guess ... - -
CC: Roger. That's good, Dave, fine. You might physi- cally try to turn the front wheel; if you think now is a good time.
CDR-EVA: I don't get much out of turning the front wheels.
CC: Okay; I think we're in business. We'11 want 15 volts to PRIMARY and FORWARD STEERING to BUS A when you start off.
CDR-EVA: What makes you think we're in business? What did I do?
CC: We - Dave, we can get this later, when you're _ ready to go.
LMP-EVA: Okay; I got a trench.
CDR-EVA: How you doing, Jim? 79/7 Tape
LMP-EVA: Gee, I'm - hung up. Something's - -
CDR-EVA: Go easy - go easy. Standby; let me come up there and watch you. Take it easy.
CDR-EVA: Okay; come -
CDR-EVA: Problem - Okay; come left - left - left, your shoulders to the left. Turn your hips to the right. Push down.
CDR-EVA: You okay? PLSS is catching on the - There you go, a little more - a little pushup there - put your stomach down. Okay, get your - your right shoulder down - right shoulder down. Okay; now go forward. That a boy; there yo u go. Okay. Little more.
CDR-EVA: That was some - looks like travono [?] under there.
LMP-LM: Okay; I'm in.
CDR-EVA: There's a real hooker there. I don't ever remember seeing that in the 1/6g training.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Jim. Take a little break up there, and let me pass you the EL - the pallet, okay?
LMP-LM: Okay; let me get the ETB up.
CDR-EVA: Hold a minute.
LMP-LM: I'm ready, okay.
CDR-EVA: Hold on.
LMP-LM: Not doing a thing, except shutting it up.
CDR-EVA: Okay; now, I'm ready anytime you are.
LMP-LM: Okay; I'm ready.
CDR-EVA: Okay; go ahead.
CDR-EVA: Hey, Jim. _
LMP-LM: My, it's heavy.
CDR-EVA: Yes. It is. There you got it - Keep coming. Coming. That a boy, right over the step now - Little more - There you go, it's over the step.
CDR-EVA: You know, I tell you there's a lot better way to get that up.
UNKNOWN: I hope so.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Next time I'11 carry it up the ladder to you. There you go, babe.
CDR-EVA: Yes, next time I'11 Just bring it up the ladder.
CDR-EVA: You're doing that - Anything else I can do on the Rover here, Joe?
CC: Negative, Dave. Just press on, and we'11 give you some more words when you're ready to drive off.
CDR-EVA: Got the pallet disconnected, Jim?
LMP-LM: Say again, Dave?
CDR-EVA: Is the pallet disconnected?
LMP-LM: Yes - Oh, no; stand by.
CDR-EVA: Disconnect to the LEC, and let me pull it back down. _-_
LMP-LM: Yes. Just a minute.
UNKNOWN: Okay, Dave; it's disconnected.
CDR-EVA: Okay; I'm going out to the - get the NAV initialized.
CC: Okay, Dave. This is Houston with a Rover procedure for you, as you get on. We want the 15 VOLT to PRIMARY and FORWARD STEERING to BUS Alfa.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. First, let me - stow the high gain and PM1/WB. give you
CDR-EVA: So I'm going to turn you off.
CC: Okay. PM1/WB.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. Give me a comm check on PM1/WB.
CC: Okay, Dave. We're rea_ing you 5 by on
CDR-EVA: Okay, *** stowed.
LMP-LM: Joe, how do you read me in the LM?
CC: Jim, you're 5 by.
LMP-LM: Good. Okay; I have the pallet unloaded on the MESA. Reconfigure the COMM circuit breakers.
CDR-EVA: Switches? Okay, Joe. Give me a call on those switches again.
CC: Okay, Dave. 15 VOLTS to PRIMARY, FORWARD STEERING to BUS Alfa.
CDR-EVA: PRIMARY, BUS Alfa .... DRIVE POWER is OFF - -
CC: Roger. Now, we want you to rock the hand con- troller full left and right - and watch the ammeter while you do that on the batteries. And look for small deflections in those _mmeter readings.
CDR-EVA: See, the only switches I have on now are 15 VOLT _ DC PRIME and STEERING FORWARD BUS A.
CDR-EVA: There - I - I can't perceive anything, Joe.
CC: Okay, Dave. That's all we need. Press on - as always.
CDR-EVA: Okay. What does that tell us?
LMP-LM: Okay, Joe. Under COMM, TV is coming open.
LMP-LM: MODULATE going to PM. POWER AMPLIFIER, OFF. PCM going low.
CC: Okay, Dave; while you're getting configured there, we think both your batteries are okay. There is something wrong with the forward steering and we'd like the FORWARD STEERING switch to OFF. We still have good rear steering.
CDR-EVA: *** FORWARD STEERING is OFF, Joe.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. I'm in a nice smooth area now. Do you want to point any particular direction, or will you take this one? Oh, wait; I'11 get it. Wait; I know where I'm going. (Laughter)
CDR-EVA: Tried to find a good smooth area with all the qualifications around here.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. I'm at the NAV initilization site here.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Okay, NAV circuit breakers going closed. It's driving. SYSTEM RESET. Let her run 3 minutes here. Okay. LRV systems, if you want them. What does - the read-outs on the LRV again, Joe, or are you happy with what you got?
CC: Dave, give us your AMP-HOURS again, please.
CDR-EVA: Okay; AMP-HOURS, 105 on number i and - I'm sorry, ll0 on number i and ll5 on number 2.
CDR-EVA: Okay, and attitudes, if you're ready to copy.
CDR-EVA: ROLL is 1 LEFT. PITCH is 0. Heading is 240. I'm in SYSTEM RESET, and we're driving down to zero. And the SUN SHADOW DEVICE is at zero.
CC: And, Dave, you're going to be close to 279 on your heading, and I'11 fine tune that in a minute.
CDR-EVA: Okay; well, I'11 stand by; I'm still - the SYSTEM RESET's still driving.
CC: And, Jim, we'd like for you to take a breather here for a minute, while Dave's getting the NAV realined.
LMP-EVA: Okay. All I do is tidy the blanket.
CDR-EVA: Hey, Jim, try some of that fruit stick, it's really good.
LMP-EVA: Forgotten about it.
CDR-EVA: Boy, I just had a couple of bites; it's really good.
LMP-LM: Full of quick energy.
CDR-EVA: No water.
CC: And, Dave, the fine tune heading is 279.
CDR-EVA: 279, Roger.
LMP-EVA: Okay, the MESA blankets are tidied, Joe.
CC: 0k_y, Jim. Sounds good.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. We're sitting on 279 - SYSTEM RESET is OFF.
CDR-EVA: The SSD is stowed. And I'11 - see.
LMP-EVA: That's good, Dave.
CDR-EVA: That good there?
LMP-EVA: Can you come and Join me?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I'm right behind you.
LMP-EVA: Oh, you are?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I'm ready.
CDR-EVA: Let's go - -
LMP-EVA: I'm ready to configure you.
LMP-EVA: Or you configure me.
CDR-EVA: Okay, let me get the switches off here - so we don't have anybody drive off with it while we're gone.
LMP-EVA: I put up my antenna so I can read you a little better.
CDR-EVA: Yes, that's a good idea. Okay, your antenna's up.
LMP-EVA: My - flap never got fixed.
CDR-EVA: Okay. The hammer's on the LMP.
CDR-EVA: The hammer's on the IzMP. Got some core tube caps for me?
LMP-EVA: Yes. Here you go .... 79/13 Tape
CDR-EVA: Okay. Oh, ... - Core tube caps didn't fit. Pitch it up, Jim.
CDR-EVA: *** kind of to your right and I'11 put it on.
CDR-EVA: Okay; bag number 4 is on the LMP. Okay. Get me, ole buddy.
CC: Okay, Dave and Jim. As a reminder before you climb on the Rover, you may want to go to MIN cooling; it may get chilly while you're riding.
LMP-EVA: Are your bags secured? Okay.
CDR-EVA: How do the PLSSs look to you down there, Joe?
CC: They're looking smooth as silk down here.
LMP-EVA: Here's your tongs, Dave.
CC: And, Jim, if convenient now, you might give us an EMU status check.
LMP-EVA: Okay; I'm reading 385, all flags are clear, and - looks like 65 percent.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe, and I'm reading 65 percent, all flags clear, and 3.85.
CC: Roger, Dave. Let's do a little geology.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Mr. Navigator. By the way, little arrows - on the heading indicator - on the LRV NAV system worked good.
CDR-EVA: Okay, this thing's really bouncy when you get on.
CDR-EVA: Easy, easy, easy, Jim- easy.
CDR-EVA: The foot's hooked on the tool there. That-a-boy.
LMP-EVA: You really sit high.
CDR-EVA: Yes, you do.
LMP-EVA: It's almost like standing up. In fact, I can't -
LMP-EVA: Down to the maps, let's see.
CDR-EVA: Huh? Can you get to the maps?
LMP-EVA: Get my safety belt.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Be careful you don't hit our jackrabbit switches there.
CDR-EVA: There's something wrong with my safety belt. I'11 get off and fix it.
LMP-EVA: As long as you're getting off, will you adjust mine?
CDR-EVA: How did it get down there?
LMP-EVA: I'11 look at the maps.
CC: Okay, Dave. And, we're standing by for a mark as you leave.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Okay, Joe. I got my trusty seat belt hooked under a Cannon plug that - a new surprise.
LMP-EVA: I think it's too short, Dave, it - for - -
CDR-EVA: Yes, sure is.
LMP-EVA: Don't waste time on it; I'11 just hang on. 79/15 Tape
CDR-EVA: No, start out right. At least you're narrow. Got too far to go.
CDR-EVA: Okay. You're hooked.
LMP-EVA: Sort of.
CDR-EVA: Can you get it off?
LMP-EVA: ... get if off.
CDR-EVA: I think - once we get a - a couple of tries at getting on and getting of, why, be able to do pretty good.
CDR-EVA: Okay, got mine.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'm supposed to give a few readings here.
LMP-EVA: Are you ready to copy some readings, Joe?
LMP-EVA: Okay. 250, 000 - Well, all zeros there. AMP-HOURS 090, 092, 80, 85; and FORWARD MOTOR TEMPS are lower limit - in the REAR, lower limit.
LMP-EVA: Off-scale low.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Jim, here we go.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Dave. We want - a heading of 203.
CDR-EVA: Okay, 203.
LMP-EVA: Checkpoint 1.
CDR-EVA: Going to miss that double Ackerman, I can see that now.
LMP-EVA: Okay, we're moving forward, Joe.
CDR-EVA: Whewl Hang on.
LMP-EVA: And we're coming around left. --_
LMP-EVA: Heading directly south right now to miss some craters off to our right - very subdued craters.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I'm going to take a little zig zag here - -
LMP-EVA: On the right is - -
CDR-EVA: Hang on. Get a feel for this thing.
LMP-EVA: Nine kilometers an hour, Joe.
CDR-EVA: Hold - hold the geology; let's get the Rover squared away first. Okay; 8 kilometers up a little rise. Okay, turning back.
CDR-EVA: 203, huh? Okay.
LMP-EVA: 203 for - 2 miles.
CDR-EVA: Okay. That's a nice young fresh one.
LMP-EVA: Speed's varying between 8 - 8 and 10.
CC: Roger. Our TV pan suggests, you can go straight for St. George Crater, and you'11 find Elbow okay. And we're suggesting you omit Checkpoint i - Rhysling Crater should be a good landmark along the way, and head 208. Over.
CDR-EVA: Okay. 208, Joe.
UNKNOWN: Okay, we're doing 10 kilometers, now. Now we're heading uphill; when we head uphill, it drops down to about 8.
CDR-EVA: No dust, Joe, no dust at all.
CC: Yes, sir. Sounds great. And, Jimmy, we're standing by for AMP read-out.
LMP-EVA: About 9 kilometers, now.
LMP-EVA: Okay, AMP read-out is 15 - looks like 15 on l, I can't quite see 2.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I guess - Could this be Rhysling right here, Jim?
LMP-EVA: Probably is - this large depression off to our left?
CDR-EVA: Yes. Man, I can see I'm going to have to keep my eye on the road.
CDR-EVA: Boy, this is - it's really rolling hills, Joe. Just like 14. Up and down we go. Oh, and this must be earthlight, huh? Could that be? Boy, look at that; we're going to have to do some fancy maneuvering here.
LMP-EVA: There's an elongate depression here before you get to Rhysling. I don't think we're to Rhysling yet - Rhysling ought to be about 1.4. We've only gon e - see .4.
CC: Roger, Jim - -
CC: - - We think you're short of Rhysling now.
LMP-EVA: Do you think that's probably Rhysling out about 11:00 o'clock to us, Dave?
LMP-EVA: Out about - maybe 1 kilometer.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Okay, Joe, the Rover handles quite well. We're moving at, I guess, an average of about 8 kilometers an hour. It's got very low damping compared to the one-g Rover, but the stability is about the same. It negotiates small craters quite well, although there's a lot of roll. It feels like we need the seat belts, doesn't it, Jim?
LMP-EVA: Yes, really do.
CDR-EVA: The steering is quite responsive even with only the rear steering. It does - does quite well. There doesn't seem to be too much slip. I can _-_ m_aeuver pretty well with the thing. If I need to make a turn sharply, why, it responds quite well. There's - there's no accumulation of dirt in the wire wheels.
CC: Just like in the owner's manual, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Okay, we're heading right - Yes, man. Okay, I've got it on the wall here for a minute - and we're up to 12.
LMP-EVA: As we head upslope, it drops off.
LMP-EVA: Or, are you deliberately slowing down?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I slowed down in order to get my - my feeling here before we start sprinting.
CDR-EVA: Look at this little fresh one - little fresh - Boy, look at that l Miles of very angular frags all over the thing.
LMP-EVA: Yes, we passed several of those.
CDR-EVA: Okay; I'm going to cut down to the south here, Jim.
LMP-EVA: Yes, that'd probably be best - because I think that's probably - Let's see, range .7 - That's still not Rhysling. Shouldn't be.
CDR-EVA: Whoa! Hang on.
LMP-EVA: And we have a - a large subdued one at our i o'clock position, I'd estimate 50 kilometers wide -
LMP-EVA: .8.
CDR-EVA: Okay, how we doing on the heading, Jimmer? 79/19 Tape
LMP-EVA: Okay, if we're heading right for Elbow -
CDR-EVA: Pick a spot here, okay. You really have to pick your way.
LMP-EVA: You're only about half way - to Checkpoint 1. We shouldn't - What I thought was Rhysling was probably not Rhysling; Rhysling is a larger crater, and it's out at about 1. - should be about 1.4 - from the LM.
CC: That's affirmative, Jim. Right on.
LMP-EVA: Whoa.
CDR-EVA: Hang on.
LMP-EVA: Bucking bronco.
CDR-EVA: Yes, man. You back off on the power, it keeps right on going.
CDR-EVA: The zero-phase riding is pretty tough, Joe. We're going to have to make sure we keep at an angle. Once I look into zero-phase, it all looks flat. There's a nice little round 1-meter crater with very angular frags all over the bottom and the rims, and glass in the very center. About a meter across.
CC: Roger, Dave. And, Jim, as you come up on the rille, you may want to turn your 16-millimeter camera on.
LMP-EVA: Yes, when we get to the rille, we will, Joe. Can't see the rille at all from here. Still looking for Rhysling.
LMP-EVA: 1.1 -
CDR-EVA: Okay, right now our bearing is 039 for 1.1.
CDR-EVA: Okay. (Laughter) ... clicks. _-_
CDR-EVA: Hey, Jim, give me - Well, I just have to drive around these craters; that's all there is to it.
LMP-EVA: Yes. We have a large subdued one on our right about - 60 meters wide with several small ones in the center. By small, I mean about 10 meters in diameter.
LMP-EVA: Boy, it really - really bounces, doesn't it?
CDR-EVA: Well, I think - there's sort of a - The rear end breaks out at about 10 to 12 clicks.
CC: Roger, Dave. It sounds like it's - like steering a boat, with the rear steering and the rolling motion.
CDR-EVA: And, gosh, every ... - -
CDR-EVA: Yes, that's right. It sure is. Hey, here's a good fresh one right there - -
LMP-EVA: Yes, I was looking at that one at i o'clock to us right now. Very fresh angular block of lighter albedo material on the south rim.
LMP-EVA: We kick up a little dust when we go through these craters.
LMP-EVA: Seems like when we get to the bottom, and I can see the trajectory of the fragments coming from the - It looks like - Yes, they're coming from the front wheels and coming up kind of around my arm and then forward.
CDR-EVA: Yes, but it's not dusty. I mean, there's - -
LMP-EVA: No - no, looks - it looks like millimeter-type particles.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Hang on.
LMP-EVA: Okay, let's see, the distance 1.3. Okay, I think there's a large one coming up about 12:30 or l:00 o'clock that could be Rhysling.
CC: Jim, that sounds good or it could be the large one to the northwest of Rhysling. Rhysling may be coming up on your left now.
LMP-EVA: Well, there's a large one over there, too, Joe, I -
CC: Roger. But your heading is beautiful. Continue on.
LMP-EVA: Our heading's about - averaging about 200 - 210.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) Man, this is really a rocking-rolling ride, isn't it?
LMP-EVA: Never been on a ride like this before.
CDR-EVA: Boy, oh, boy! I'm glad they've got this great suspension system on this thing. Boy.
CDR-EVA: Okay, here's a big one right here on our left, Jim.
LMP-EVA: Yes, but it's not - I don't think it's big enough to be Rhysling.
CDR-EVA: No, I don't think it is either. We got a ridge up here in front of us, we'11 - -
LMP-EVA: What did I say, Joe, about 1.6 - 1.7, for Rhysling?
CC: It's about 1.4, 1.5, Jim.
CDR-EVA: Get on top of it.
LMP-EVA: That could be Rhysling, Dave; we'11 find out when we get up on top of this ridge.
CDR-EVA: Yes. By the way, Houston, your comm is crys - crystal clear for us up here.
CC: So is your's, Dave. Maybe we ought to take this gear to Flagstaff next time.
LMP-EVA: Off in the west now, I can see Bennett Ridge.
CDR-EVA: Oh, yes. I've seen it all the way. You can see Just the peak of it all - almost all - all the time.
CC: And Rover, this is Houston. Your range to Rhysling is about 1.7; so you may be short of that still.
LMP-EVA: It Just came up 1.7, and our relative bearing's 036.
CDR-EVA: And we're coming up on the right - -
LMP-EVA: Hey, you can see the rille - there's the rille.
CDR-EVA: There's the rille.
LMP-EVA: Yes. We're looking down in it - down and across the rille, we can see craters on the far side of the rille.
CC: Roger. Like advertised.
LMP-EVA: A lot of blocks. You ought to turn the camera on.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Now we're getting into the blocky stuff - about 1 foot, quite angular, irregular surface.
LMP-EVA: We're right at the - the edge of the rille, I bet you.
CDR-EVA: Yes, sir. We're on the edge of the rille, you'd better believe it. I think we're heading right - -
LMP-EVA: I don't see Elbow though. Oh, yes, I see Elbow. Dave, we have to stay up on the high part of the rille, here. 79/23 Tape
CDR-EVA: Yes. See, Elbow is not as prominent as we thought, but there's a definite crater there.
LMP-EVA: I see Elbow.
CDR-EVA: Yes, it - subtle though - subdued.
LMP-EVA: ... turn on the camera.
CDR-EVA: Hey, look there's a big block on the edge of the rille there that must be 10 meters. There are lots of outcrops. But, on the far side, I don't see anything that would suggest really layering. There's a lot of debris, big angular blocks all the way down, but nothing that you'd really call - exact layers.
CDR-EVA: Let me get us back up on it - back up on the ridge, it's smoother.
LMP-EVA: Yes, I think that heading was - we were on a head- ing of a little too far west. We're getting back up on the higher part of the rille rim. At this point, I'd estimate the slope is probably - what? About 3 degrees?
CDR-EVA: Yes, there's a definite branch or rim that runs along the rille, maybe 70 - 80 meters from this - the inflection point that drops down into the rille, don't you think, Jim?
LMP-EVA: Yes. And, we might as well - we're heading right toward - we'11 head toward the east side of - of Elbow.
CDR-EVA: Yes, we're in good shape. We can see Elbow, and we can see the front all the way down to the Spur. And, there's not a big block on it.
CC: Keep talking, keep talking. Beautiful description.
LMP-EVA: I see one large block, up about a quarter of the way up the front, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Okay, hang on there.
LMP-EVA: Yes. _-_
CDR-EVA: There's a big on e partially buried. Oh, there's some beautiful geology out here. Spectacular!
CDR-EVA: Oops, watch that. Hold on.
LMP-EVA: Looking up at the - at the front now, Joe, I sure see the linear patterns that Dave commented on before. With the dip and everything.
CDR-EVA: Whew, whoopee l
LMP-EVA: Boy, that was a - good stroke.
CDR-EVA: It's a good stroke, all right.
LMP-EVA: And, I sure get the impression that - Almost looks like a slump feature, but we'11 take some good pictures of that, because you see the same lineal - linear-type pattern in the - the east side of the rille. And note the linear pattern there is par- allel. Almost like layering in the rille. And, then as you look upslope - up the front, that layer- ing takes that - that dip to the northeast that Dave had mentioned earlier.
CC: Roger, Jim. And can - can you actually see the east side of the rille, towards the south there?
LMP-EVA: Oh, yes. I can see, looking directly south - I can see that - that exposure - the exposure that faces northwest. I can look down and I can see - I think I can see Hadley C down there.
CC: Remarkable.
LMP-EVA: Yes, I think I can see the south rim of Hadley C.
LMP-EVA: Okay, let's see - Well, we can see Elbow. But anyway, when we get there - -
CDR-EVA: Hang on - got one coming.
CDR-EVA: Oh, my.
