Then, you want to spin it up again as in step -well, as in step 3. Now, after you spin it up again, you should have gas in the top, or 1 parti,_lly gas in the top, and gas and water in ! the Bottom; and repeat the procedure. Add more t water to the approximate bubble size and spin it ) a_zin. And by the time you get'finished, you s_=ld have all of the gas in the top and - t e_memt, that is, and them the bottom compart- i sent should he Just about 1_11 of water. Now, if you fill it too full, so you got the bottom full of water and the top full of water - partially fllllof water, then the only way you cas get that bubble out of there then is to s_,ueezeout the bubble and the water in the top compartment. The object is to get the bottom compartment eumpletely ful1 of water and the gas in the top compartment, and then you can vent it off by pinching off the lower _ompartment. If that sounds reasonable to you guys, you can try it. It's going to take a lot of spinning, what but that's they recommend in the back room after 3 days. Over.

CC: 10, Houston. If you got a couple of more minutes talk, the hack to room would like to know - They've got some questions for you, so they can get one leg up c_ LM-5. The first one concerns on the operation of the LM steerable antenna during the phast,E burn ,pass. It has three parts to it. I'11 ask the first part. What were the circus~ stances aurroundin6 loss of S'band steerable from AOS to the phasing burn on REV 13? Over.
LMP: Chsrlie, I dou't know what the circumstances ) _]_. cna- bl_t _ ha_ _ lock when 'we ca]ne on dotal ]/. good S-band lock - and I Coul.dhear. You ,,can B-band tranktng hear that because of the noise I it -eWes, and I heard it tracking. And then I got somewhere down in there in the process of comments our and photography work and what have you, I heard us losing lock and I went down there to look at it end then I tried to tune it up went to MANUAL, tried to tune it up and the f_ct is - I'm not sure whether me had the capability to _11 V_l/_ 6_, but I pla_ed with it a little hit there for & minute or so. I couldn't do that. I went to OMNI's so that we at least would have l_ce w_th you, ann then I guess it was 8_'ter the ._-_,ing pass when I had a breather. Then I went back and we called up ¥_8 62 and I got high g_in lock a_ai,, and that's really all I can tell you.
CC: T_at's fine, Gene. SeCond part of the question was: what was your procedure when the antenna went into the stops and the circuit Breaker popped? Over.
LMP: Well, when it inadvertently went into stops. I put it at pitch 90, yaw O, pushed in the circuit bre.-ker polrpedright and it around to 90 and 0, and we started _,=r s_ain. That happened about three times. _ think once during a P52 - twice during a P52 - and one other time. Tell your girl Chelsie that it stopped one time when it shouldn't h_ve. ]'._e 72o
CC: Roger. Ve copy. One further question on the antenna. When d/d you switch to the AUTO mode? Wu it within about 1 minute after AOS on that phasing burn pus? Over. you a GO for DOT and then I gave you the DOI hume report and it ws_ after that that we Year to high gain lock. _4P So you know we h_d a good high gain lock there. We had a good high-gain lock there for a while. l I,.A-- ,.
CC: I believe you were getting high bit rate data. T_OMM's not he. re now, of course, But we can run 1_ck by them. Igm pretty sure, if I recall the circumstances, we had high bit rate during the early part of that phasing pass. I know because - well, I know we did because we sot you a state vector and then I read - correction - That was the BEV Before. But, anyway, I can remember seeing high Bit rate data and then at some time we lost it and I don't know why. That about p_bausts ! our knowledge on that question. The other one was the two-part question cm the drinking water. Was the _=aa noted in the IM water only dUring the _-_tial use of the system? Over. It

LMP: ... That's affirmative, Charlie. _d a_ as we got Simplex A, we went ahead and tried the module LM D_Plex A, c_nm-,_ Duplex B ea_ttty from the LM, not in the voice range, there, but Just the voice to re,Wesure we could use that i Duplex mode for the ranging capability; and that ! _l_o worked. .!

CC: Oki, Tc_. Thanks a bunch. It was really a fill ? in for Just m_, and also FIDO was curious as to what kind of DELTA-V we gave to the descent stage when we separated, and that clears that point u_. That's AY] we got for you for right now. If you gu_s can think of anything else that you'd like to pass on that we could get a leg up em, we'd appreciate it. Over. squawk that was nosed on Gemini 9 - pardon me - I mean Apollo 9; that kind of dates me doesn't it. - (Laughter) On the LM on the rate error needles 1 F_e, 723 Tou know they squawked at - When the rate error needles were zero, ant,_ly you had some rates. Well, we tried to get that calibrated, you know, t " in the testing there at ESC. When I got in flight, | I found that's w_ I used a little _o_re fuel, particularly during the landing radar test. I _t pulse4 the error needles into zero but on _f .... Right at the last, we calibrated them before docking, and when the spacecraft had zero rates, yaw rate error needle was about three-ten_chs of a degree to the right. I'd estimate the pitch was two-tenths down, and the roll was about two- tenths. So when I came down for the landing radar pass - and I don't know if you can see m_ DSEY c_lVERB 83 - I was trying to pulqe it and hold it _ust as close as I could to take some pictures. I'd zero the needles, but they would start to go off right away. Then I'd have to that one get back on it. But is thing that definitely needs to be corrected and, again, the _n thing that costs you is fuel. Over. !
CC: Roger. We got that. _hank you much, To,-. I _ e/ways the that was under _pression those needles i were supposed, should have been zero except when J power off, hut it looks like we ha_ problems Just like, as yom say, Just like 9 did. B_ the waythe - I don't kno_ whether you've hear_l, but the landing radar appears to have worked like a :: champ. W_ had - As _ar as I can tell, we still hexl _ndications of lockon at about 68 000 feet. Over.
CDR: Right. And a good show. You know, we ha_ sc,me time there, so what I did was turn the radar c_ early and pick up that attitude. Anti as soon as I pitch down, boom, I could see the tape meter started to drive an_ also the velocity started to go the other - Well, of course the velocity didn't lock on until later, hut right away it looked like we heal altitude lockon way, way higher than we expected. Over.
CC: Roger. Thank you much, 10. That's all we have for you right now. Out.
LMP: Charlie, I've got. another thing on the S-band - the IR S-band signal strength. It appeared that any time you call up the angles - and all the angles that we had preprogramed in the flight plan and the VERB 6_'s were excellent, but it appears that anywhere Between 3_ and 36 if you { got that kind of signal strength and went to AUTO, Page 72_ she'd acquire and pop right up to about b3 or _ on the st_naJ[ strength rater. But even Better than that, if you call up the angles and yoG could tune it in manually very easy from that 32, 36 well into the _0 region and then, of course, ... to about that go to AUTO popped up _3. So was very encouraging, also. _ae other question that puzzles me. I updated the ACS prior to undocking with the PNGS, and I could never get the d_ta out of ADDRESS 304 in the AG8 to agree with ¥ff/t83 as a check on the ulxlate. I then times we updated the ACS two more before un- docked, and it still disagreed by some 20 to 30 degrees. As soon as we unaocked, I checked those angles again and, by golly, they were perfect. And the A_ held a good up,ate for a _long time, so I don't understand what the prob- lem was prior to un4ockiing.
CC: Roger. We haven't found the e_swer to that one, Gene. You passed that on to us right at, as you came around A06, and we've been working on it, but we haven't heard the answer onthat one. We're still working that one. Over.
