CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. Is that as far as you can push it, Jim?
LMP-EVA: That's as far as I can push it. I got the picture; go ahead.
CDR-EVA: Okay. It's a - We've got one full core, second core is going in about 2 inches per h_mmer stroke.
CDR-EVA: And we've got almost a second core. Got another couple of inches to go, Jim. Doing good.
CC: Jim, you're an iron man.
CDR-EVA: Don't smash your finger.
LMP-EVA: Ought to bomb this.
CDR-EVA: Okay; that's good, men. All the way in. Good show.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Let me come up to the hill there. I got the picture.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Pull it out very gently. Nice. Nice. Easy does it. That's nice. Coming out very clean. Looks clean. Hold it steady. Got a good one. _-_ Okay. Come on over this way a little. Cap for it. Oh, it looks like we have some dings on the cap. Okay.
LMP-EVA: Give me the cap. I'11 put it on, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Good idea.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Break it and I got the oth - Oh, you're going to ram it first. Roger on her. Let me put your h_mer away.
LMP-EVA: R_er out.
CDR-EVA: Okay; why don't you Just hold it? Okay. Okay. Does it feel pretty hard?
CDR-EVA: Okay. BA_mer went in about 6 inches.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Here, hold this and I'11 break the ... I'11 try to break it.
CDR-EVA: That a boy. Easy does it.
CC: And, Dave, we're standing by for a number on the core.
CDR-EVA: Yes, the top one is 03, Joe.
CDR-EVA: Don't lose the core!
LMP-EVA: Move the core. Here's your cap back. Can you get it, Dave?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I'11 get another one. Don't sweat the caps; we got beaucoup caps.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I'11 let you - God bless it! Don't lose the core I
LMP-EVA: You can hold this one, and I'11 put the cap on the bottom one.
CDR-EVA: They're new caps. You know, they're a lot harder to get on.
LMP-EVA: ... those before. Give Joe the numbers on - -
CDR-EVA: Yes. I gave him the top one. I can't see the two at - The bottom's too dirty.
LMP-EVA: Rub it off when you get going there.
CC: No problem on the bottom one, Dave. We know that.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Dave. Let me give you this.
LMP-EVA: I'11 put this in your pack. I've got to ram it.
CDR-EVA: None of that.
LMP-EVA: Got all sorts of little goodies to do. Okay; turn right so I can get the r_mmer.
CDR-EVA: Okay; it's rammed. Okay. r_
LMP-EVA: Hey, the -_t_ core - You can put the one that you got in my _. Okay. Now try and recover those caps?
CC: Yes, Jim. If you could with the tongs, we'd like it back.
LMP-EVA: Yes. I'11 try.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Those new caps, Joe, with the metal band on them will sure stay on a lot better - -
LMP-EVA: Okay; another one - Yes, hold the core.
CDR-EVA: Can't even see them in ... --
LMP-EVA: They're right here, Dave.
CDR-EVA: DAmn.
LMP-EVA: Right under here. I can see the edge of it.
CDR-EVA: Do I need the tongs?
LMP-EVA: Yes, I'11 go get them. Just a minute. Bow down.
CDR-EVA: Oh, I dig in pretty deep. your
CC: And, Jim , we'd like a stereo pan with 70-millimeter camera. Maybe now is a good time to get it. or wherever you think is Just - -
CDR-EVA: Okay. Look at his hands - look at his hands, Joe. You figure he could take a picture? (Laughter)
LMP-EVA: Okay, partner. Where are they?
CDR-EVA: Right in here.
LMP-EVA: Oh, yes. Here, hold this. I'11 put it on.
LMP-EVA: Okay. What numb ... - oh - -
CDR-EVA: Did you get the number of the other one?
LMP-EVA: What number is that one?
CDR-EVA: This is 3.
LMP-EVA: Know what the other one was?
CDR-EVA: I can call Joe when we up - unload that.
CDR-EVA: I can look it up - -
CC: We can take it later, Jim. That's good.
LMP-EVA: It's the middle one in that - that - Dave's sample bag.
UNKNOWN: That's good enough.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Hold this and let me put the core tube cap back.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Why don't you get your stereo pan, and I'11 get the big camera out. I can get ... back.
LMP-EVA: Boy, I Just hope there's not any dust on the lens.
CDR-EVA: Didn't lookbad, Jim. I Just looked at it.
CDR-EVA: Don't forget the rake and that other sample on the boulder.
CC: And, Dave, we see you're carrying the ignition - the ignition key there for the Rover.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) That's right; that little blue thing?
LMP-EVA: Hey, that gnomon is pretty dirty, unfortunately, Joe. Just no way to keep that color chart clean with all this dust.
LMP-EVA: Going to have a little moving base on that pass.
LMP-EVA: I was trying to get us a few still ones.
CC: - - no problem.
LMP-EVA: You know, a burnt picture isn't much good.
CDR-EVA: Take off the lens - cap.
CDR-EVA: Five hundred. Okay. Okay, Joe, I'm going to give you - Looks like I got some pretty good contrast looking up to the northwest. I'11 give you the far side of the rille - the vertical and the horizontal. And I'11 use a - let's see - -
CC: Sounds good, Dave. And we'd like about 2 minutes' worth of pictures and then think about leaving.
CDR-EVA: Okay. How's a 250th and a 8th look to you.
CDR-EVA: Okay; the first horizontal strip, Joe, is on the upper layer - not layer - upper region - of the far side. I can't really see our A, B, C, D that we thought we might see.
CDR-EVA: Okay. And then about one-third of the way down - and there's a nice, big, very interesting outcrop over there, which looks like vertical jointing in a big block, with a horizontal layer on the top; the block must be, oh, 2 percent of the rille height and it must be about the - oh, twice that across, with the layer maybe one-quarter of the height of the block, and I got a 500 of that. I'11 also take you a 500 vertical in the same area.
CC: Roger, Dave. And we're interested in your climbing aboard now and start back towards the LM. We're going to eliminate station 3.
LMP-EVA: The camera count on Dave's camera is 54, Joe.
CC: Thank you, Jim. Good call.
LMP-EVA: And the camera count on the 500 is 61.
LMP-EVA: Maybe you can see mine, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Yes, I'11 look.
LMP-EVA: When you come over to strap me in - -
LMP-EVA: - - maybe you can put these - -
CDR-EVA: I'11 check,
LMP-EVA: - - put these samples in - -
CDR-EVA: I will.
LMP-EVA: - - my bag.
CDR-EVA: I'11 do that. Okay.
CDR-EVA: Tidy the Rover up. Ready for another little drive.
CDR-EVA: Did you get your rake?
CDR-EVA: Okay; hop on.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) Up a little bit. That a boy. Now you're in. That's a good position.
LMP-EVA: Okay; let me get the MAGs in your bag.
LMP-EVA: ... Okay. Cover's closed. Belt.
CC: And, Jim, while you're climbing in there, what's your heading?
LMP-EVA: Heading 270 - 280, Joe.
CC: Roger. It's rock steady.
CDR-EVA: Okay; ll5 on Jim's camera.
LMP-EVA: And we got to roll that ... - -
CC: And we suggest you Just follow your navigation system home.
CDR-EVA: That's a good idea. I was going to say we might try that Just to see how she works.
CC: That's exactly our thinking.
CDR-EVA: Could be a problem finding home.
CDR-EVA: Oh, I caught that seatbelt - There's a cannon plug right down there on the floor.
LMP-EVA: Here let me - -
CDR-EVA: No, you can't do a thing. I have to get off - and unhook it from this cannon plug down here.
LMP-EVA: Hand the seatbelt to me. I'11 hand it to you when you get off.
CDR-EVA: Okay .... - -
CC: And, Dave, you're turning our TV off now, I guess.
CC: Dave, thi s is Houston - -
LMP-EVA: Okay, now keep holding it there.
CC: - - We assume you're going to turn our TV off shortly.
CDR-EVA: Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Thank you, Joe.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Joe; you're going PM1/WB.
LMP-EVA: Quite a little dust on that ... surface, isn't
LMP-EVA: Okay, buddy, and there you go.
LMP-EVA: Okay; strapped in.
CDR-EVA: PRIMARY; STEERING to BUS Delta on the rear, and nothing on the front, DRIVE POWER is ON. DRIVE ENABLEs are both squared away. Sun shadow device is stowed. And we're ready to go. Are you all strapped in?
LMP-EVA: All strapped in. You did it.
CDR-EVA: Okay; here we go; rolling again. Okay; we'11 try getting home on the NAV system here. Oh, look at that big fresh one in the side of the rim .... that - that stereo pan, so we're right up - -
LMP-EVA: Got to make a - ... go downslope too much.
CDR-EVA: I'm not. I'm going slow. I'11 cut back over here.
LMP-EVA: Yes. Easy does it.
CDR-EVA: Looks like it takes us right back the way we came, doesn't it?
LMP-EVA: Yes, that's the ... Well, we're going to have to go to the right to go around Elbow.
CDR-EVA: Oh, yes; I suggested that we could go to the left, but I guess we don't want to do that.
LMP-EVA: I don't think we'd better try it, Dave.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) That's a neat place down into the rille though, isn't it?
LMP-EVA: See the way it comes back?
CC: Roger, Dave and Jim.
CDR-EVA: ... down into the rille, Joe, ... would like - -
CC: - - we'd rather that you don't take that option.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) Okay. And if anybody ever comes back, _-_ Joe, and wants to go down into the rille, have them come talk to us, because there's a good place to do it here.
CC: Roger. We'11 suggest that.
CDR-EVA: Okay; we're moving at about 5 clicks. And the slope - I'd guess about 6 - 6 or 7 degrees on going cross-slope.
LMP-EVA: Whooeel
CDR-EVA: I'm going to go down this way.
LMP-EVA: Yes, we better go down to - -
LMP-EVA: - - a slope that's not quite as steep. I didn't realize we'd gone up so high.
CDR-EVA: Oh, looking back, man, we - we really climbed it. Okay; we 're moving downslope now.
CDR-EVA: Come back up here.
LMP-EVA: Yes, we know our tracks are to the right of us.
CDR-EVA: Yes, we're in good shape. Heading right toward Mount Hadley.
CDR-EVA: What a checkpoint.
LMP-EVA: Yes ....
CC: - - any idea of whether you can see the LM or not?
CDR-EVA: Well, Joe. I took a look when we were up there, and I couldn't see it.
CC: Roger. Sounds reasonable. And if you cross over Rover tracks, Dave, we'd like a depth estimation of them, please.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) Okay. I hope we do, Joe.
LMP-EVA: Hang on. Yo, oh, hang on!
CC: Oh, mercy, yes (laughter).
UNKNOWN: (Laughter).
LMP-EVA: Better go easy downhill, huh?
CDR-EVA: I - I'd say so (laughter).
CC: It's uphill from here on in.
CDR-EVA: ... though, is it?
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) That's what you think, Joe. There's a hill we have to climb here. You just - you can't go fast downhill in this thing, because if you try and turn with the front wheels locked up like that, they - they dig in and the rear end breaks away, and around to go; and we Just did a 180.
CC: Dave - -
CDR-EVA: Strictly up ... skiing.
CC: Tell Jim it must be that powdered material on the slope there.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) Yes. Yes. We Just did a christy. Okay; we're down - It's fairly level now and we're going to start upslope but we're on - just about on the south rim of Elbow.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) What a ride.
CC: Jim, that's probably the first christy - -
CDR-EVA: If we get back up here - -
CC: - - you've ever managed.
CDR-EVA: - - Rover'11 be able to make it.
LMP-EVA: (Laughter) Just sitting still, huh?
CDR-EVA: Okay; now we're going.
UNKNOWN: Yes, now we're up to 9 clicks; you have to swing '-_ to the right here, Dave, whenever you can.
LMP-EVA: We want to get up on the ridge line here.
CDR-EVA: Yes. 80/33 Tape
LMP-EVA: And also stay away from up - Sun - that - -
LMP-EVA: There now - we're - Now we're cooking.
CDR-EVA: Up-Sun isn't too bad though, you know? There's a lot more definition than straight down-Sun. I don't think we'11 have any trouble driving up-Sun, because the craters seem to show up pretty well. Have you noticed here on Elbow, it seems like there's a very subtle bench on the southern side?
LMP-EVA: Yes, I kind of got the idea there were several subtle benches in the downslope - a - particularly on that - on the eastern wall.
LMP-EVA: On the wall.
CDR-EVA: Oh, there's a big boulder. We just crossed over a buried rounded boulder. Must've been a meter and a half across, with - Of course, it's all gray - -
LMP-EVA: Gets pretty rough up ahead, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, man. No kidding. Lots of debris. There! Some Rover tracks. How about that? Yes, here they are. Somebody else has been here.
LMP-EVA: Somebody else has been here.
CDR-EVA: Yes, you know they really don't sink in very far.
LMP-EVA: No, they don't.
CDR-EVA: I'd say less than a half an inch, if that, but they're here.
LMP-EVA: They're here.
LMP-EVA: Maybe you can find a smoother way home. (Laughter)
CDR-EVA: I'm going to do the NAV system here, once we get squared away and get out of the hole. Incidentally, Joe, I don't think we saw any indication of flows or a slide or anything coming off of Hadley Delta _-_ there. I - I didn't see anything that looked like a change in granularity or - any subtle - scarps of any sort. Did you notice any, Jim?
LMP-EVA: No .... - -
CC: Roger. Dave, that's exactly the picture we built from your verbal description there and that's the reason - one of the reasons we're going to omit station 3. We think that there probably is not at least a sharp debris flow down the side.
CDR-EVA: Yes, okay. I think that's a good decision. I don't think we're going to find much more over there than we've already found.
LMP-EVA: You know, looking out to the east now, Dave, I see some little very subtle ridges. I think they're ridges rather than craters. And it's probably - Well, it's out toward the secondary crater cluster.
CC: ... cluster, Jim, sounds reasonable.
CDR-EVA: Okay, bearing 11 for a 3.3 kilometers. We'11 see you on that - -
CDR-EVA: Hey, here's some footprints, Jim.
LMP-EVA: Ha, how about that.
CDR-EVA: Hey, see that white albedo I kicked up over there? _-_
CDR-EVA: Gosh, I sure wish we had more time to sample.
LMP-EVA: I think I see the - I see something reflecting over there. I think that's the LM.
CDR-EVA: Sure is. See the reflection?
UNKNOWN: See the reflection of it at 12 o'clock?
CDR-EVA: Yes. Yes.
LMP-EVA: Yes, we see it, Joe.
CDR-EVA: Sure do. And we're heading right straight for it on a bearing of 11 degrees (laughter), except for the wanders through the craters.
CDR-EVA: Boy, I'11 tell you, Joe, this is a super way to travel; nice and cool - uphill without any strain. This is great.
CDR-EVA: And it's easy to drive; no problem at all. Just have to be careful because of the locked front wheels, but other than that, very responsive. I can put the throttle right up to the stop or at some intermediate position, and take my hand off - and rest my hand; if I want to go left or right, I Just put a little pressure until I get the angle I want and then let it off and we recenter on the steering. It's - really neat, even with the locked front wheels.
CC: Sounds mighty smooth, Dave. And we're still work- ing on your front wheel problem. We may have them back before you know it.
CDR-EVA: Okay; I'd like to try it that way, too.
LMP-EVA: Looking over to the east, Dave, I see a very large crater, and it could very well be - -
CDR-EVA: Could it be Dune?
LMP-EVA: No, it's probably too close to be Dune.
LMP-EVA: Maybe it's Fifty-four.
LMP-EVA: I think it's Fifty-four. .
CDR-EVA: You see it?
CDR-EVA: Good for you! Fifty-lout's on the Moon.
CDR-EVA: Hey, look at this rock right on the sur - Hey, you know, see that one on the surface there?
CDR-EVA: I'11 bet you - I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't come from that crater. Too bad we can't stop. There's a rock that was sort of rounded, but had a rough surface texture to it, about a half a meter in size, and it was about 10 meters down- stream from a nice fresh crater that had a lot of angular debris in the bottom and the walls.
CDR-EVA: There are a lot of little craters around here - little being less than a meter - which are very rough, have a lot of debris - right up to the rim and over the top side of the rim, and no ejecta blanket to speak of, but the whole inside of the wall - take a half a meter crater and it's filled with angular, gray, fragmental debris on the order of inch size - or less, very uniformly distributed, fairly well sorted. Like - maybe they came - maybe the debris is from one of our Aristillus or Autolycus friends. And there's a lot of it, so I think we'11 have a chance to get it later on.
CDR-EVA: They're rather shallow craters, too. Let's say that they're only about - oh - i to 6. Hang on, Jim.
LMP-EVA: Yes, look at - There's a large flat rock over at i o 'clock.
LMP-EVA: That's several large rocks there.
LMP-EVA: Must be 5 feet in diameter.
LMP-EVA: Concentration in this one area - and then there's a large one down in the pit of that subdued crater.
CDR-EVA: How we doing on time there, Houston?
CDR-EVA: Ooh, look at that - ooh, ohX Look at that one. It had - It almost looked like pahoehoe, didn't it?
CDR-EVA: Did you see that one? Oh, my! How we doing on time, Joe?
CC: Dave, you'11 he about 20 minutes down from the original plan when you get hack to the LM.
CC: We're not in bad shape at all. It's looking real fine.
CC: And we may be in better shape when you arrive there.
CDR-EVA: Okay; we'11 see how we do. Oops! Hang on, buddy.
CDR-EVA: Every once in a while, when one of the steering wheels comes off the ground - due to bumping in a crater, and we get a side force, why, the rear end control.
UNKNOWN: Dave, could you comment on the - the horizontal bedding in - in Hadley - looking out the foot of Hadley, that spur that comes out - -
CDR-EVA: No, no.
LMP-EVA: - - out northwest.
CDR-EVA: The lineations across there? --_
LMP-EVA: Yes. The horizontal.
CDR-EVA: Yes. There are two or three of them right at the base.
LMP-EVA: Yes. didn't
CDR-EVA: I see those yesterday. It was all in the shadow.
LMP-EVA: Yes. Joe, there's definitely a horizontal - a horizontal pattern in the spur of Hadley.
CDR-EVA: 0hX Hang on.
LMP-EVA: Just at the base.
CDR-EVA: Oh shoot, it really gets bumpy.
LMP-EVA: And then as you go up above that - and, again, that's - maybe only 10, 15 percent of that partic- ular exposure of the spur, then there's a defi- nitely linear pattern that looks like it dips 30 degrees to the west. How come we stopped?
CDR-EVA: I got to put my seatbelt on.
CC: Dave, stand by for mark when you start. Help us on our speed calculations.
CDR-EVA: Yes, I'm sorry about that, Joe, but I'm pretty unstable without that seatbelt and there's a lot of feedback into the controller. --_
CC: Yes, sir; buckle up there.
CDR-EVA: Okay -
LMP-EVA: Anytime we stop, Joe, I'11 let you know (laughter).
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) I was going to tell you, but your descriptions were so neat.
LMP-EVA: Well, it's nice to be able to see the LM.
CDR-EVA: Yes. That bearing is right on.
LMP-EVA: There's home.
CC: Okay, Jim, and keep talking; the description's beautiful.
LMP-EVA: We can see several craters on Hadley. Hard to estimate what the size of them is, but the ones that I can resolve seem to be a - seem to be a fairly uniform size, as I can resolve from this distance.
CDR-EVA: Oh, there's a rough area ahead.
CDR-EVA: I'd like to see Rhysling on the way in.
CC: Dave, are you moving again?
CDR-EVA: Yes. We're moving.
CDR-EVA: We gave you a mark when we started, Joe. That stop was - was maybe 15 seconds.
CC: Roger; okay. Thank you.
CDR-EVA: And we're moving about 10 clicks.
CDR-EVA: Now this large one ahead, it could be - No, we're not close enough yet to be Rhysling .... this boulder here, Jim.
LMP-EVA: I'11 try to do it ....
CDR-EVA: Okay; we're coming out across either an elongate crater, or two that are kind of joined up - running east-west, kind of a doublet, and we're going _ across the bridge between them.
LMP-EVA: And it must be, maybe 30 meters across on each one of them with no debris and they're smooth on the bottom.
CC: Roger, Dave and Jim. And we've got them on the map.
LMP-EVA: Hey, great!
CDR-EVA: Oh, there's some vesicular basalt right there, boy. Oh, manl Hey, how about it, let's - Just hold on 1 second, we've got to have - -
LMP-EVA: Okay; we're stopping.
CDR-EVA: Let me get my seatbelt.
CC: Roger; m_rk that you stopped.
CDR-EVA: ... keeps coming off.
LMP-EVA: Why don't you hand me your seatbelt?
CDR-EVA: Just a minute.
LMP-EVA: Then get off.
CDR-EVA: If I cea find it. There it is. If you'11 hang on to it here for a second.
CC: And are you moving again?
LMP-EVA: No, we're stopped here, Joe. I'11 let you know when we move.
LMP-EVA: You know, Joe, these small fresh craters that we've commented on -whatever caused them, must erea - must create or indurate the soil into the rocks - creates its own - own rocks, because there's Just a concentration of rocks around the very fresh ones. And the small I'm talking about may be a foot to 3 feet diameter.
CC: Roger, Jim. Sounds very possible.
LMP-EVA: - - And create the ... of breccia.
CDR-EVA: Okay, ready to hand me m_ - -
LMP-EVA: Yes. Get it?
LMP-EVA: Shoot, Dave. I think I dropped the map. I did.
CDR-EVA: Did you?
CDR-EVA: Where's the 1 to 25 for EVA-i?
LMP-EVA: Right there by you?
LMP-EVA: Oh, here.
CDR-EVA: Hold my seatbelt ....
LMP-EVA: Go.
CDR-EVA: Dirty, dirty.
LMP-EVA: Yes, the map's so dirty you can hardly - hardly see it.
CDR-EVA: Let me tighten this thing up a little bit better.
LMP-EVA: You got to tighten it up?
CDR-EVA: Yes. It keeps coming off. Make a lot better time
CDR-EVA: Okay, hold it.
LMP-EVA: Maybe should trade seatbelts.
CDR-EVA: No; hold it for me.
CDR-EVA: There. Okay. Okay, Houston.
CDR-EVA: MARK. We're go - moving.
CDR-EVA: There's a pretty fresh one right up ahead, Jim. Looks like about 10 meters across, and it's got up to 6-inch frags around the rim - maybe 15, 20 percent of the rims has frags in it but nothing - no significant eJecta blanket, which I think is typical of all these around here. That one looks like it's maybe a meter and a half deep. Yes, we can't get in it, and I bet it has glass in it, too.
LMP-EVA: You know, you can almost tell the ones that are going to have glass - -
LMP-EVA: - - by looking at them before you get there.
CDR-EVA: That's right, you sure can.
LMP-EVA: Yes. Hey, we were up to about 11 or 12 clicks on that last burst.
CC: Roger, Jim; I'm standing by for amps readings.
LMP-EVA: Roger. At any particular speed, Joe?
CC: Give us anything.
LMP-EVA: Okay, right now we're going at 10 clicks, and I'm reading about 10 amps.
CC: Roger; sounds consistent.
LMP-EVA: Still no reading on the motor temps.
CC: Must be that smooth driver.
LMP-EVA: Okay, we're 1.7 so we - Rhysling is - should be near Rhys ling.
LMP-EVA: In fact, we ought to be - Rhysling ought to be off to our right.
CDR-EVA: Hey, there's a pretty sharp one right there. It's - not that - not big enough though.
LMP-EVA: Do you agree, Houston? We're reading 013 to the LM, and we're at 1.6. We ought to be able to see Rhysling.
CC: We agree, Jim. It should be about a 125-meter crater.
LMP-EVA: Okay. We're cutting at 12 now.
CDR-EVA: Gee, I don't see it, do you?
LMP-EVA: No, there's - there's one over here at 2 o'clock that - that's fairly deep and might - -
CDR-EVA: It's deep, but it's not near that big. It's only - -
LMP-EVA: It's not that large, no.
CDR-EVA: - - like - 10, 15 meters across.
LMP-EVA: Haven't really seen any large enough that - that we'd call Rhysling, Joe.
CC: Okay, Jim, it may just be - -
CDR-EVA: We see the old LM.
CC: - - hidden by the undulations.
LMP-EVA: Yes, it could be. And there are those.
LMP-EVA: Yes. Occasionally as we drop down in these - You know, I kind of get the impression, Dave, we're go - it's almost like - Well, they're depressions and then there's the rises, and they're generally perpendicular to our direction of travel.
CDR-EVA: Yes? Now that you mention it, you're right. Sure does seem that way, doesn't it? We're Just going up and down the - Ha - Now watch your frequency. Whoop; watch out; hang on. On that one. Hang on the next one. Oh, ho.
LMP-EVA: Like Just small valleys that are trending upslope, Joe. And - we go down low enough so that we can't see the LM anymore. Won't see him until we get on top of the next rise. They're very gentle valleys. And they're about - would you say - 60, 70 meters across ?
LMP-EVA: And, you know, the terrain, looking from the east here - the - is just a general rise to the east. It looks like, oh, 2 - 2 or 3 percent. Notice that, Dave?
CDR-EVA: Yes, up to - -
LMP-EVA: Right to the - -
LMP-EVA: - - the base of the Apennines.
CDR-EVA: Yes. And it's - -
LMP-EVA: Right up to - the Swan Range there.
LMP-EVA: Now when we go out on EVA-2, why, it'11 be uphill going out, and probably downhill all the way back.
CDR-EVA: That's nice. Whoop: There's a shocker. Boy, what a great suspension system this thing has (laughter ).
LMP-EVA: It'11 be a tremendous view back to the LM when we get out to the last station on EVA-2.
LMP-EVA: And rather than this being the plains, as such, I get the idea it's the - kind of a base of a very gentle talus slope.
CDR-EVA: Yes, that's - that's right. We're not on a flat plain; it looks like it slopes down from the - the Swan Range over there into the rille, and then when you get to the rille rim, there's another slight break-down to a sharp break. The slight break goes, maybe, 50, 60 meters, and then you drop off steep into the rille. It doesn't look like we're in a - a basin so much, although if I look to the left, Jim, I can see a rise - up to the - the rille.
LMP-EVA: Well, there might be a rise, you know, there at the - at the rille.
LMP-EVA: Yes. Rise at the rille. But you're definitely right, we're traveling on a slope to the left right now.
CDR-EVA: And, boy, you really get that impression if you, you know, look east, look up-Sun.
LMP-EVA: Yes, you sure do.
CDR-EVA: I can't believe we came over those mountains.
LMP-EVA: We did.
CDR-EVA: It's Just a beautiful little valley.
LMP-EVA: Yes, those are pretty big mountains to fly over, aren't they? Here's a nice, subtle crater with a - with a - about 70 meters across, with a sharp, 15-meter one on the rim, which scattered debris out. But no big ejecta blanket, no rays.
CDR-EVA: We can't see the LM now. And we're traveling at about 12 clicks.
CDR-EVA: Let's see, 018 degrees for .7, so right over the next rise, we should see homeplate.
CDR-EVA: And I think I see, on the surface here, linea- ments that are trending about - northwest-southeast, Jim. Do you get that feeling? Morton's [?] little lineaments. Look - look as we go across here and if you think about them, if you look down there.
LMP-EVA: Not convinced, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Not convinced, huh?
LMP-EVA: Look right ahead of us here where we're driving I see lineaments that are parallel with our direction of - -
CDR-EVA: Yes?
LMP-EVA: - - motion.
CDR-EVA: That's right. I see those, too.
LMP-EVA: Ohhhh! Ohhh!
LMP-EVA: Ohhh, brother!
CDR-EVA: There's the LM.
CDR-EVA: Came up over the rise, Joe, and right - right when we got over the rises there was a great big crater in our path] But we missed it.
CC: Got some bad news and some good news.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) Yeah, msu. But it's the only game in town.
CC: Don't you know.
CDR-EVA: 0hs Joe, wish we could stop and pick up hundreds of rocks; there's so many. There's a little one Tape sitting on the rim of a crater that's on a pedes- tal. It's a - looks like a smooth, gray rock, subangular, and it was sitting up on a pedestal it looks like. Right on the very rim of the crater, and it was the only frag near the crater.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) Hey, there's the old Falcon.
CC: Dave, that sounds like a - -
CDR-EVA: Sitting down there in that hole.
CC: - - ... to me.
LMP-EVA: The Falcon?
LMP-EVA: Hey, look at the - Would you think that the albedo's - oop! - changed there where we landed?
CDR-EVA: Sure had; it's lighter colored.
LMP-EVA: Sure is. Is this fellow Index over here to the right, Dave?
CDR-EVA: Yes, uh-huh. Yes.
CDR-EVA: Not very distinct, is it? That's Index. Our position is - like we're - I guess we're a little - just a little east then -
CDR-EVA: - - of our planned - -
LMP-EVA: I think they've got our - -
CDR-EVA: - - landing site.
LMP-EVA: - - I think that the position they have picked out is pretty good.
CDR-EVA: It's close, but I - It looks like it might be a little south.
LMP-EVA: Yes. Hey, Joe - -
CDR-EVA: Hey, we're - we're - Our NAV system's starting to wander now. We got a range of .2 and a bearing of 34 and we're heading about 015 into the LM, and it's Just almost in front of us so - I think it's done very well though.
CDR-EVA: Hey, do you know I think I almost landed in a crater, Jim. Look at the one on the right there.
CDR-EVA: If I'd have Just gone down another - -
LMP-EVA: Yes. I have that on the map.
CDR-EVA: Do you really?
LMP-EVA: It's right - you know, it's just west - looks like it's just west, northwest of Index.
CDR-EVA: Okay; come back here, and we want to park it - across - at - towards the ALSEP side. Okay, swing around. Yes, I landed right in a little bench there, huh? No wonder.
LMP-EVA: Just on the - the northwest rim of that crater.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Yes. I was hoping - I - I - I think I saw that big crater - I was hoping by keeping like a foot per second forward all the way in, and it'd keep us out of something like that.
CDR-EVA: Joe, we're back at the LM, by the way.
CC: Okay, Dave; good news. Thank you.
CDR-EVA: I'11 park out here a little ways, Jim.
LMP-EVA: There's a lot of glass fragments around here.
LMP-EVA: More than I've seen any other - -
CDR-EVA: Yes. If that's Index over there and this is the one that's northwest of Index - gee, that puts us -position D - yes, let's see that'd be a 7 - 755 and Baker Queen. Yes, and, you know, I can see why now, I thought that was Salyut, because Index is so subtle, and there's another one that is just to the north of Salyut, which I was going to call the landing site. Okay, we're parked.
CC: Okay, Dave and Jim.
CDR-EVA: Let me get off.
CC: You're certainly very close there, and we can sort out the details of that later. Dave, when you turn on the TV, could you police the TV cables for us again? We think that we may be hung up again. And we need a status check on your - from both of your EMUs, please.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Jim. Would you do all that?
LMP-EVA: Okay; here are the Rover readings; 315, 059, 103, 001, 100, 107, 95, and 95, and motor temps are both lower limit.
CC: Roger. And that lower limit's okay.
LMP-EVA: And, Joe, my EMU flag - -
CDR-EVA: Careful, Jim, come on. Go easy, babe.
CDR-EVA: Okay, everything nice and easy now, huh? Let me get your - let me look at your camera.
CDR-EVA: ... dust brush out this. Hop off of that thing with the grace of a ballerina.
CDR-EVA: Get the brush on your - RCU.
CC: Okay, and while you're brushing it, Dave, we need a PLSS check.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Roger. I got - flags are clear. I've got 40 percent and 3.85.
CDR-EVA: Turn around here, Jim, let me get your - -
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'm - I'm 385; my pressure flags are clear, and I'm reading 45 percent.
CDR-EVA: Give me your camera so when you take those pic- tures it's not - ...
CC: Okay, Al. The mapping camera comes off in about 30 seconds.
CC: Al, whenever you're ready, I've got a couple of photo pads for you.
CMP: Okay, Karl. I've got all the camera setups for the solar corona. And they're all checked out and ready to go, so I'11 stand by for your pad.
CC: Beautiful. Over on the next page at 123 hours and 16 minutes, solar corona. The time is 123:16:50. And down there at 123:50, the UV photo pad, 123:49:49.
CMP: Okay, Karl. Understand. The solar corona pad is 123:16:50, and the UV is 123:49:49.
CMP: Roger. If you are ready down there, I'11 go ahead and retract the mapping camera now. If you want to watch the data.
CC: Stand by a second. _
CMP: Okay; I'm waiting.
CC: Okay. You're GO to retract the mapping camera, and give it the mark.
CMP: Okay. On my mark.
CMP: Okay, Houston -
CMP: Talkback is gray.
CC: Al, this is Houston. I hate to start bothering you right when business is getting heavy here, but we find that waste water is accumulating faster anticipated, than we'd and in order to avoid a waste-water dump before we planned it, we'd like to have you fill up a water bag. Looking at your - looking at your current schedule, we recommend you start that right away and get it done.
CMP: Roger, Houston. C/2-28,
CC: And, Al, that is on page for waste water.
CMP: Roger, Karl. Thank you.
CC: They say it will take about 8 minutes to fill a bag.
CMP: Okay, Karl. Say again the page number, please.
CC: The page number is C/2-28, and the bag is down in the - in the L-shaped bag, they tell me.
CMP: Roger. I've got the bag out.
CC: And before you go around the corner, I should tell you that the configure DSE should be done at 123:10.
CC: And a reminder that that is a low bit rate command this time.
CC: Okay, Al. We have - 1 minute to LOS. All systems are looking good, and enjoy that solar corona.
CMP: Hello, Houston; Endeavour. Did you call?
CC: Roger, Endeavour. We copy you. A bit noisy yet. On the second set of UV photos at T-start plus 7 minutes, a number that we have for you is 56 minutes and 49 seconds, if you haven't already computed it.
CC: Endeavour, we'd like to have OMNI Alfa.
CMP: And, Houston, Endeavour. APOLLO 15 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CC: And, Dave, are you off the Rover at - the front of the Rover, now?
CDR-EVA: Yes, stand by, Joe. I'm going to get your cables; and you're hung up, all right.
CC: Okay, thank you. And, Jim, as you unload the gear from the PLSSs, we'd like for you to put the spare core tube, core tube cap, and SESC in bag 2 as you put bag 2 on the handtool carrier.
LMP-EVA: Okay, talk me thro,,gh when I get around to that.
CC: Sure will.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Oh, well, I parked the Rover wrong, but that 's right. It '11 work - this way.
CDR-EVA: Joe, do you want to reset on the NAV system? Or do you want to go ahead and pull a circuit breaker on that?
CC: Pull the circuit breaker, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Okay, going to TV REMOTE.
CDR-EVA: Hey, - Houston, with the attitude of the Rover, I'm having a tough time finding the Earth in the - in the field of view because of the Sun shining in my eyes. This is only going to be a short stop. Do you think you can do without it here?
CC: We can certainly do without it, Dave. Yes, no problems.
LMP-EVA: - - on the AI_EP.
CC: Roger; and, Jim, perhaps you could get bag 2 on the right-hand side of the handtool carrier.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I'11 be there pretty ...
CDR-EVA: ... a little dirt?
LMP-EVA: Oh, boy ....
LMP-EVA: ... What are you going to use for UHT?
CDR-EVA: Oh, boy, I don't know.
LMP-EVA: You don't use the UHT that much.
CDR-EVA: No; I'11 think of something.
UNKNOWN: Let's take that back into the LM, and maybe we can repair it.
LMP-EVA: Tell you what ....
CDR-EVA: Yes, you want to open the gate? Okay. Here's a hammer.
CDR-EVA: And the rAw--er.
CDR-EVA: And the core tube caps.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Got them.
CDR-EVA: Got them? Okay. Your Velcro is tidied.
CDR-EVA: *** another PI_S flap open. If you'd just bend over right there, I can get the bag up.
CDR-EVA: Here's a bag; want to hang onto it?
LMP-EVA: Okay. --_
CDR-EVA: Okay, *** another Velcro. Okay, you're tidied.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I have bag 4 here, and I'11 hang it temporar- ily on the right side, Joe.
CC: Put it under the seat, Jim, and get bag 2 - -
CC: - - on the right side.
LMP-EVA: Yes, I'11 be doing that. Bend over, Dave.
UNKNOWN: *** tidy up. Okay. Okay.
CDR-EVA: Hey, we want to put bag 4 under your seat.
LMP-EVA: Yes, I know it.
CDR-EVA: Okay, I'11 do it.
LMP-EVA: I put bag 2 there.
LMP-EVA: That's mine, I'11 get it.
CDR-EVA: Get it. You want to go ahead and -
LMP-EVA: Okay. Okay. I'm going over and open the SEQ bay doors.
CC: And, Jim, once again, we want to transfer the core tube, its cap, and SESC into bag number 2.
CDR-EVA: Well - that didn't get done, Jun - Joe. We'11 - I'11 pick it up - remind me after I get the - LR cubed on the Rover, Joe; I'11 do that.
CC: Okay. Fine, Dave; no problem.
CDR-EVA: Okay. The ALSEP's in a good place to get off. eel -- --
LMP-EVA: Yes. You got a good attitude there. Yes, man.
CDR-EVA: Well, I was thinking of ALSEP.
LMP-EVA: Okay, the doors are coming open. Okay.
CDR-EVA: The doors are open.
LMP-EVA: Doors are opened. Boy, it's going to be hard to keep the dust off the ALSEP.
CDR-EVA: Yes, boy. You're not kidding.
LMP-EVA: Yo, ho, ho, ho. Out it came. Go ahead, Dave.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) Yes. Easy. You clear?
CDR-EVA: Let me get out of your way. Okay. Here is a nice spot up here to set them down. Try it.
LMP-EVA: You're hung up.
CDR-EVA: Yes, sure am.
LMP-EVA: Pull that pin there.
CDR-EVA: Pulled it. Okay.
CDR-EVA: Okay, give me one of those - if you can get them apart.
LMP-EVA: *** seen them wedged in there like that before.
CDR-EVA: *** lot of surprises; got to expect surprises. Here, maybe if I hold the fitting - rotate it.
LMP-EVA: Can't.
CDR-EVA: I've never seen it wedged in there like that either. There. Whew. I got one.
LMP-EVA: You got one?
LMP-EVA: Straps do come handy for something, huh?
CDR-EVA: Looks like it might work. Okay.
CDR-EVA: Okay, my package is a lot closer than normal, Jim, so watch out when you back up. I want to move it over.
CDR-EVA: Okay, bar's on.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Joe. I'm going over to tip - the fuel cask.
CDR-EVA: I'm going up to the pallet to get the - no - drill. Drill first.
CDR-EVA: Okay, drill's out of the MESA.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe, I'm in a good position to handle that core tube business, now, if you want to run through it.
CC: Okay, Dave, fine. Just want to empty - all the loose gear - the extra gear, core tube and its cap, and SESC into bag number 2.
CDR-EVA: Okay. The core tube - and its caps into bag num- ber 2. What loose gear? What are you talking about? Used core tubes or new core tubes?
CC: The new ones, Dave, the unused ones. And the SESC that was on your collection bag and the core tubes that were in your collection bag.
CDR-EVA: Okay, the unused core tube now goes into bag num- ber 2.
CDR-EVA: And the SESC that's on my pack comes out of its pocket and it goes into bag number 2.
CDR-EVA: Okay, the other number on that core tube is 01, by the way.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. I'm going for the LR cubed now.
CC: Okay, Dave, and super clean. _
CDR-EVA: Super clean; yes, man. We'11 do our level best.
LMP-EVA: Okay, the RTG is - fueled, Joe.
LMP-EVA: Ahh!
CDR-EVA: Okay, the LR cubed is out.
CDR-EVA: (Whew) The LR cubed is on the pallet.
CC: And, Dave - Jim, Just a reminder on those SEQ bay doors if you're getting ready to leave that area.
LMP-EVA: I was going - Just in the process of closing them.
CDR-EVA: He's not going to forget that, Joe.
LMP-EVA: Booms are out a little farther than normal.
LMP-EVA: Got to keep my LM cool.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Jim, your seatbelt is going to have to get readjusted - because I'm going - I want to make sure I get the LR cubed tied down good here.
LMP-EVA: Okay. The SEQ bay doors are closed, Joe.
CDR-EVA: Okay. LR cubed and the drill are down on the Rover. Yes, we'11 go out and find ourselves an ALSEP site, I hope.
CDR-EVA: Y'all set, Jim?
LMP-EVA: Yes, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Okay, go slow.
LMP-EVA: Don't worry. I can't go fast carrying this. --
CDR-EVA: Yes, don't drop it.
CC: Dave, this is Houston. When you climb on the Rover, I'd like a mark on that, and then I'd like to update you with some further EVA planning that's going on down here as you drive out to the ALSEP site.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. Stand by.
LMP-EVA: I'm heading out, Dave.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Okay, Joe, on the Rover, and heading to the ALSEP site. Ready -
CC: Okay, Dave. As you're moving out there, I guess I've got some good news and some bad news for you. than we've been planning on. It may cut the EV - EVA a little short. We want you to be aware of this right now, and we're watching it real close, and we'11 advise you in real time. No problem otherwise. It - it is good to note, though, that if you can do as little unnecessary moving around as possible, we may be able to run the EVA - EVA out to the full 7 hours. Over.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Understand, Joe .... You know, Joe, a little moving around with the drill is - That's sort of hard.
CC: We know.
LMP-EVA: That go for me too, Joe?
CC: Jim, you're a little low, but not - -
CDR-EVA: Not too far ...
LMP-EVA: I'm ...
CC: - - as low as Dave at the moment. You're in good shape. You're probably trying to get out of Station 8 already.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) Let's find a spot out here, Jim. There's Just no place that's really nice and smooth. And the zero phase sure doesn't help any- thing. I think I've got - This is probably as good as we're going to do. Right about here.
CDR-EVA: Jim, I'm going to turn right here and head north.
CDR-EVA: That'11 be pointing at you.
CDR-EVA: Pointing at the central station.
LMP-EVA: *** show.
CDR-EVA: And it's gently rolling, but I think we're all right. Take it easy. No hurry. Let's see. I shouldn't have turned OFF that NAV. I could have pointed north if I'd have had the NAV. Okay, Jim. Walk up another 10 meters, and then come over towards me - a little bit.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Right - right there looks like a good spot. Yes, that's good.
CC: And, Dave, you can put the - your shadow off the Rover at about 9:30. It should work.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe.
CDR-EVA: I can't steer.
CC: And, Jim, you might want to take a short breather after carrying that heavy package.
LMP-EVA: I'11 go slow, Joe.
LMP-EVA: I have the power package positioned.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Okay, Joe. I'm parked, and I'm a little - I'm going to be looking up-Sun. I can't seem to get it. Sure need that steerage.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Right there.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Got so much dust on these-checklists, and you can't turn them.
LMP-EVA: Can't read them either.
CDR-EVA: That's a point. Okay, Joe. Do you need any read- outs from the LRV?
CC: Negative, Dave. And we'11 be standing by for TV.
CDR-EVA: ... you clipped, Joe; I didn't hear it.
CC: Roger. Negative on the read-outs and standing by for TV.
CDR-EVA: Roger. It's coming up. Don't think I'd come all the way out here and not let you guys see the ALSEP deployment.
CC: Wouldn't miss it for the world.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Joe. On the shorting switch, I'm reading about .8.
CDR-EVA: Joe, I might make a comment that - very difficult to find the Earth in the field of view with this sight glass, even with the extension out of the thing. I{'s Just almost too dim. Having a tough time.
CC: Okay, Dave. Thank you. Important information.
CDR-EVA: Okay. Going TV R_MOTE now.
LMP-EVA: Okay. RTG cable is connected.
CC: And, Dave and Jim, we have - -
CDR-EVA: Okay. LR cubed is off.
CC: - - a beautiful TV picture again.
CDR-EVA: *** to set it, so it won't fall over. There. Hey, Jim, when you pick up the LR cubed be careful you don't knock her over. _-_
CDR-EVA: ... because that's - -
CDR-EVA: Okay. Drill's off.
CDR-EVA: Hey, Jim, you make quite an albedo.
LMP-EVA: Just what you've said to me.
CDR-EVA: Do you want something?
LMP-EVA: No. Don't want to get in your way here.
CDR-EVA: Let me get this thing out of your way, and if - two nuts. You need a little break anyway; you're working hard.
CDR-EVA: (Laughter) Boyd bolts really spring when they spring.
CDR-EVA: Man, things really go - go when you throw themX
CDR-EVA: Okay. Heat flow's connected.
CDR-EVA: Find me a couple of good spots out here. The probe is in. Looks like about this direction will be best.
LMP-EVA: Okay. The legs on the SIDE are deployed, Joe; sitting it down.
LMP-EVA: Okay. And I'm moving over to connect the SIDE cable to the central station.
CC: Very fine. _
LMP-EVA: Got any more slack in that cable, Dave?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I'11 put some more in it. Z've got a Boyd bolt problem.
CDR-EVA: Gllm_t.
CDR-EVA: Down, down. Stuck Boyd bolt, Joe. Never get those things apart without _that though.
CDR-EVA: There we go.
LMP-EVA: Hook on SIDE cable not locking down very well.
CC: Dave, did the bolt come free?
CDR-EVA: Yes, I got it.
CC: Jim, have you gotten that connection yet?
LMP-EVA: Not very positive, I'm afraid, Joe. Try it again.
CDR-EVA: Pull it off.
LMP-EVA: That pulls right off. I ought to work on it.
CC: Jim, Just make sure that the ears are pulled back before you plug it in.
LMP-EVA: Back.
CDR-EVA: Okay; BO degrees north, 42 degrees to the Sun. That's - -
LMP-EVA: Ah, I got it, Joe. Got it. Ooh.
CDR-EVA: Okay. The central station is tipped down, Joe.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm taking the PSE stool out.
LMP-EVA: It might take a little time to level things, today.
CDR-EVA: Well, my gosh. Things Just aren't working too good. There.
CDR-EVA: Hey, Joe. The heat flow is leveled, and the shadow is - right between 2 and B on the index.
CC: Sounds good. Thank you.
CDR-EVA: Now I'11 give you a demonstration here, Joe. Got the TV on this - pallet here.
CC: Roger. Right on.
CDR-EVA: Here it goes.
CDR-EVA: Beautiful. But I lost my balance.
CC: Spectacular demonstration.
CDR-EVA: Yes, oh well. Enough of that.
LMP-EVA: Lovely.
CDR-EVA: Another demonstration.
CDR-EVA: Hey, Joe. I'm picking up the drill now.
CDR-EVA: It works.
CC: Beautiful. And, for goodness sakes, hang on to it there. Don't throw it.
CDR-EVA: Yeah, man. You better believe.
CC: What was that a demonstration of, by the way?
CDR-EVA: I'm not sure I know.
CC: It started out to be of gravity and it wound up being of centrifugal force, I think. 81/13 Tape
CDR-EVA: Yes, I think you're right. Oh well.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Joe. The PSE is leveled, and the shadow is reading - 091.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. Drill on the rack. Going to the first probe. But the - one on the right stayed, because the rammer was packed in the one on the right, today.
CDR-EVA: Check south, huh, Joe?
CC: Check south.
CDR-EVA: Okay. I'm in a - i'm in a shallow depression here_ Joe. And there's no way of getting around it. There's Just nothing really flat. There's a little rim here - a little slight rise. Further to the north, maybe ... would like it up there.
CC: Dave, drill it there.
CC: Right where you stand.
CDR-EVA: Thank you. Just - just checking. You know. Right.
LMP-EVA: Sometimes those guys have some ... good ideas.
LMP-EVA: Okay, Joe. On the solar wind, it's alined; the door is open.
LMP-EVA: Going for the LSM.
CDR-EVA: Okay. First two. Down we go. Huh, it takes a little bit of force. *** matter of fact, it's getting a little stiffer. In fact, it's getting a lot stiffer. *** stuff down there.
CC: Jim, you'11 get your feedwater tone shortly.
LMP-EVA: Okay, I did. Time to go to AUX-WATER, huh?
CC: It's about that time.
LMP-EVA: Dave, can I disturb you to get my AUX-WATER?
CDR-EVA: Be glad to, Jim. Here.
CDR-EVA: Oh, wait a minute. Okay. Your AUX-WATER is ON.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm taking the LSM out, Joe.
CC: Okay, Jim. And MIN DIVERTER on your PLSS, please.
LMP-EVA: That's for startup?
LMP-EVA: Okay. MIN, although I understood it could start up on any position. Bet you're trying to make me sweat a little.
CDR-EVA: Joe, can you see the drill?
CC: Yes, sir. We sure can.
CDR-EVA: Now I'11 give you a better angle. That's all I got.
CDR-EVA: There are about three probes in, Joe. And, my goodness, I think that looks like about the end of it.
CC: Something to argue with, Dave.
CDR-EVA: I guess the next question is do we dig a little trench and lay them in the trench, or do we Just put three in?
CC: Dave, this is Houston. We agree that, if you've hit bottom there and think there's no way you'11 go any deeper, just press on and put the probes in this hole. and see if I can get some more, but - I tell you one thing, the Base at Hadley is firm.
CC: Roger. So much for the fairy castle fairy.
CDR-EVA: Yes. Oh, I'm afraid that's it. I hate to say that because it's working good.
CC: Roger, Dave. There's a lot of information right there.
CC: Jim, this is Houston. The diverter valve is yours now.
LMP-EVA: Okay. Thank you, Joe.
CC: You had a good clean startup.
LMP-EVA: Okay. I'm on INTERMEDIATE.
CC: And, Jim- -
CC: - - could you verify all your flags are off?
LMP-EVA: Verified.
CDR-EVA: Joe, I can't seem to get the chuck to reset. It won't - go counterclockwise out of its seat.
CC: Dave, try to rotate it 90 degrees both ways, and then push sharply down.
CDR-EVA: I - I know that Joe. It won't rotate 90 degrees both ways. it'11 only twist the stem. Maybe that - the drilling was so tight for it, it's locked up in there.
CDR-EVA: It won't back off, Joe. it turns the drill, and it'11 turn the stem, but the chuck won't back off.
CC: Roger. We copy, Dave. Maybe our stems haven't been so bad.
CDR-EVA: Any suggestions? _-_
CC: Dave, can you go either clockwise or counterclock- wise 90 degrees without the stem turning?
LMP-EVA: Okay, Joe. The LSM is deployed. It's level and alined, and I'm reading - The shadow is on the first degree on the plus side.
CC: Okay, Jim. Thank you. Sounds good.
CDR-EVA: Okay, Joe. I'11 stand by for your suggestions.

CC: Roger, Dave. We're requesting you spend a few more minutes on this experiment. We want you to take the wrench off the Rover. It - it's on the rack, as you know, and try to hold the stem with the wrench and turn the drill off that way.

CC: The wrench - the wrench on the handtool carrier, Dave. On the rack - on the rack. I'm sorry. I'm giving you bad information here.

CC: Dave, that wrench is on the rack that's holding the tubes - right along beside you. Sorry.
