CC: Roger. We'11 check this uplink on our voice. That transmission on the TV was - We'd like to get about 10 minutes worth of signal at Gold- stone so we can look at the camera quality back here at Houston for about 10 minutes or so when they patch it back into us. What we were saying was that you can go interior or exterior on the camera. On the exterior shots, we'd like to look - -
CMP: You cut out again.
CMP: Start over with, "we were saying."
CMP: Okay, Houston. You suppose you could turn the Earth a little bit so we can get a little bit more than just water?
CC: Roger, 11. I don't think we got much control over that. Looks like you'11 have to settle for the water.
CC: 11, Houston. We're going to change - thinking about changing our voice upiink to' another site. If you'11 stand by, we'11 see if we can improve the quality. Over.
CMP: Okay, Charlie.
CDR: We'11 stand by for your call.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We'11 try once more on this TV request. We'd like 10 minutes worth of TV. And we'd like a narrative, if you could give us one, on the exterior shots. You could also - we also suggest you might try the - an interior position. Over.
CDR: Roger. We're seeing the center of the Earth as viewed from the spacecraft in the eastern Pacific Ocean. We have not been able to visually pick up the Hawaiian Island chain, but we can clearly see the western coast of North America. The United States, the San Joaquin Valley, the High Sierras, Baja California, and Mexico down as far as Acapulco, and the Yucatan Peninsula; and you can see on through Central America to the northern coast of South America, Venezuela, and Colombia. I'm not sure you'11 be able to see all that on your screen down there ...
CC: Roger, Neil. We just wanted a narrative such that we can - When we get the playback, we can sort of correlate what we're seeing. Thank you very much.
CMP: I haven't seen anything but the DSKY so far.
CC: Looks like they're hogging the window. CDR
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. On your CRYO's, we'd like at this time for you to place all four CRYO heaters to AUTO and turn off all four CRYO fans. Over.
LMP: Okay. All four CRYO heaters are AUTO. And all four CRYO fans are off ....
CC: Roger. That's going to be your sleep configUra- tion.
CC: And, Buzz, we'11 be terminating the battery charge in about a half hour.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. You can terminate the TV at your convenience. We've got enough take. And you can start PTC at your convenience. The rates look super for starting up. Over.
CDR: Roger, Charlie
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. We have a flight tlan update for you and some P37 block data, if you're ready to copy. Over.
CDR: Okay, Houston. PTC is started now; looks good to us, and we'11 be ready to copy in a minute or two.
CC: Roger. Copy, 11.
CC: Houston, Apollo 11. Ready to copy the flight plan update and P37.
CC: Roger. Stand by one, Buzz.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston. Coming at yea with the P37 block data. Over.

CC: Roger, 11. That was a good readback. That was the block data scheduled for 12 hours. We'd like to Just s_y that on a flight plan update here, just to remind you of some things, and you can do them at your convenience amd then go to sleep early if you'd like. We don't aave anything els_ planned, but we'd like to Just remind you on the filter change, the 02 fuel cell purge. And we_d like a LM/CM DELTA-P and accomplish the presleep check- list.
CDR: Okay. We've completed the filter change, and we'11 get started on the fuel cell purge, and stand by LM/CM for the DELTA-P.
CC: Roger, 11. Would you hold off on the libel cell purge? EECOMM is saying we might not have to do that. Over.
CMP: Charlie, the DELTA-P is 0.5.
CC: Copy. 0.5. Out.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We've just decided to delete the 02 fuel cell purge. Over.
CDR: Roger. Delete the 02 fuel cell purge.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We've been noting some funnies on the 02 flow indicator _;ransducer. We've kind of got a suspicion that the transducer - We expected to see an 02 flow pegged h_gh with the waste stowage vent to VENT. It was not. We also noted some funny indications when you closed the waste stowage vent v_lve. W_'re going to con- tinue to take a look at this through the night, a_ld we'11 be with you in the morning wi th an assessment of the problem. Also, we'd like to ask specifically, when you place the waste stowage vent valve to VENT, does the detent - correction - Does the arrow line up with the detent:' Over.
CMP: Stand by one, Charlie. We'11 give you something on the detent.
CMP: Right now it's at CLOSED, and I lined uo with CLOSED before I was at VENT; and best I can re- call, it was quite accurately lined up with VENT. Would you like me to go to VENT again momentarily and see where it lines up?
CC: That's negative. That question's answered. Thank you much.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We have an S-band configuration for you. Over.
CC: Roger, Buzz. We'd like you to place the S-band antenna OMNI A switch to the Bravo position. S-band antenna OMNI switch to the OMNI position, the high gain track to _NUAL, and the high gain angles will be yaw 270, pitch minus 50. Over.
LMP: Roger. Understand. OMNI to Baker and O_I, MANUAL. And the angles are yaw 270, pitch minus 50, and was that narrow or wide? Over.
UNKNOWN: CC Stand by. Roger. We'd like it in WIDE, and you can set that configuration up now. Over.
LMP: It's in work.
CC: Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. You can terminate and battery Bravo charge, we'd like a crew status report. We're about to tell you good nlght. Over.
CDR: Roger. Stsad by.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 11] _he battery chargi lg is com- plete, and the crew status report is as follows: radiation, CDR 11002, CMP 10002, LMP 09003; negative medication; fit as a fiddle, over.
CC: Roger. Copy; 11. Thank you much. We'd like to ask one question. Have you tried the gas separator on the water? How is that working? OYer.
CDR: Yes. Mike's got a co_?±e of comments c_ that.
CDR: it's working good so _ar, Charlie. We've go% one installed on the watel gun and the othe? one installed on the spigot down in the LEB, and we - mention one problem with them is that they leak at junction the between the food bag and the water filter. However, with that exception, they seem to be working pretty good. We were getting some gas through initially, and I think that was just getting the system purged out to begin with; and the last tubeful we poured was almost free of bubbles. Over. Sounds
CC: Roger. good. We'11 check in on that prob- lem with the SPAN guys and let you know in the morning. If you have to call us tonight, we'd like you to do it on DOWNVOiCE BACkHJP. We're configuring the MSFN lot that mode; and as far as we can see, you're cleared for some z's. Over.
CMP: Okay. Maybe we'11 get around to lunch.
CC: How about a peanut butter and jelly?

CDR: Good morning, Houston. Apollo 11.
CC: Rogers Apollo 11. Good morning.
CC: When you're ready to copy, 11, I've got a couple of small flight plan updates and your consumables update, and the morning news, I guess. Over.
CC: Apollo 11 ....
LMP: Roger. Standing by for your updates. Over.
CC: Okay, 11. This is Houston. At time approximately 22 30 in the flight plan, in your postsleep check- list, and in all other postsleep checklists, we'd like you to delete the statement that says "AUTO RCS JET SELECT, 16 to ON," and what we're doing here is picking this up in the procedure for exit- ing PTC that's in your CSM checklist. And in the CSM checklist on page Foxtrot 9-8: if you want to turn to that, we'd like to change the order of the steps in that. Over.
LMP: Okay. Page F 9-8. Go ahead.
CC: Okay. Right now it reads, "To exit G&N PTC," then you've got a pen-and-ink change that says, "AUTO RCS SELECT, 12 MAIN A and B." And you come down to the printed step 1. We'd like to take and move the "AUTO RCS SELECT, 12 MAIN A and B" down to be the second step, so the procedure would read, "Step 1, MANUAL ATTITUDE 3, ACCEL COMMAND; Step 2 AUTO RCS SELECT, 12 MAIN A B." Step 3 would be, "Verify DAP load," and so on. Over.
LMP: Roger. I copy. Is that AUTO RCS SELECT, 12 MAIN A, MAIN B to be the ...
CC: Roger. It should be the second step in that pro- cedure. At time 22 40 _ or when you get to it, we'd like to commence a charge on battez_f A. And at time 24 10, we have an updated attitude for your P52 and optics calibration. Over.
LMP: Okay. 24 10. Go ahead.
CC: Roger. P52 and optics calibration attitude: roll 330.5, pitch 086.3, yaw 000.0. The nominal attitude that's pen-and-inked in for the P23 is still good. At time 25 30, approximately, after you complete P23, we're requesting a waste-water dump down to a nominal 25 percent. Over.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Did you copy the attitudes and the waste-water dump? Over.
LMP: Roger, Bruce ....
CC: 11, this is Houston. We're not reading you at the present time. You're way down in the noise level. Stand by, please.
LMP: Okay. Standing by.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. How do you read? Over.
CMP: Roger, Houston. Apollo 11. Loud and clear. How me?
CC: Okay. Beautiful. Did you copy the attitudes for the P52 and the waste-water dump? Over.
CMP: Roger. Okay. We note the battery charge as soon as we get around to it, and the attitude for the P52 optics CAL: roll 330.5, pitch 086.3, and yaw all zeros. The attitude for the P23 as in the flight plan is okay; and I copy your battery charge. Crew status report as follows. Sleep CDR 7, CMP 7, LMP 5.5. And we've completed the postsleep checklist. Standing by for a consumable update. Over.
CC: Roger. We're requesting a waste-water dump at GET 25 30 down to a nominal 25 percent, and here we go with the consumables update. At GET of 22 hours, RCS total is minus 3.5 percent. Alfa minus 3.5 percent, Bravo minus 1.5 percent, Charlie minus 5.0 percent, minus 4.0 percent, H2 minus 2 pounds, 02 minus 4 pounds. Over.
CMP: I copied those consumables, and I'11 read you back our RCS quantities. We got 86 percent in Alfa, 87 in Bravo, 88 in Charlie, and 90 in Delta. Over.
CC: Roger. I copy.
CC: And did you copy the waste-water request?
CMP: Roger. Waste water at - and we got the time on that, and it will be down to 25 percent.
CC: Houston, 11.
CMP: Roger. We've started charging battery A, and voltage started off a lot higher than I expected. It was just a little bit shy of 40. It looks like it's dropping down some now, the battery charge holder. Seemed to me yesterday when we were doing this on battery C, it started out initially, and it went lower, the battery charge holder. Over.
CC: Roger. Stand by a second, and I'11 get some reading on that.
CMP: On charging battery A: now, it's at about 393 and- oh, about 1.5 amps. Looks like it's grad- ually increasing in the ...
CC: Roger. On our CM,.we're showing you at 39.11, and your current's about what you reported.
CMP: Okay. I guess you're happy, then.
CC: I think we're losing you in the noise again, 11. Stand by.
CC: Roger, 11. On your battery charging question, we feel that it's probably a difference between individual batteries; and it does seem to have gone away as sort of a startup transient here. Other factors that might conceivably have an influence on it would be battery temperature, things of this sort. EECOMM seems to feel that it's operating within the normal design limits. Over.
CMP: All right. Very good. Thank you.
CC: 11, thi:_ is Houston. If you are interested in the morning news, I have a sun,nary here from PAO. ()vt!r.
CDR: Okay. We're all listening.
CC: Okay. From Jodrell Bank, England, via AP: Britain's big Jodrell Bank radio telescope stopped receiving signals from the Soviet Union's unmanned Moon shot at 5:49 EDT today. A spokesman said that it ap- peared the Luna 15 space ship "had gone beyond the Moon." Another Quote: "We don't think it has landed," said a spokesman for Sir Bernard Lovell, Director of the Observatory. Washington UPI: Vice President Spiro T. Agnew has called for man putting a on Mars by the year 2000, but Demo- cratic leaders replied that priority must go to needs on Earth. Agnew, ranking government of- ficial at the Apollo 11 blastoff Wednesday, ap- parently was speaking for himself and not necessarily for the Nixon administration when he said, "We should, in my judgment, put a man on Mars by the end of this century." Laredo, Texas, AP: Im- migration officials in Nuevo Laredo announced Wednesday that hippies will be refused tourist cards to enter Mexico unless they take a bath and get haircuts. Huberto Cazaras, Chief of Mexican Immigration in Nuevo Laredo, said authorities in Mexico City, Acapulco, and other popular tourist spots have registered complaints about the hippies. By United Press International: Initial reaction to President Nixon's granting of a holiday Monday to Federal employees so they can observe a national day of participation in the Apollo 11 Moon land- ing mission mostly was one of surprise. Rodney Bidner, Associated Press, London AP: Europe is Moon-struck by the Apollo 11 mission. Newspapers throughout the continent fill their pages with pictures of the Saturn V rocket blasting off to forge Earth's first link with its natural satel- lite. And the headline writers taxed their imagination for words to hail the feat. "The greatest adventure in the history of humanity has newspaper started," declared the French Le Figaro, which devoted four pages to reports from Cape Kennedy and diagrams of the mission. The tabloid Paris Jourproclaimed, "The whole word tells them bravo." The Communists daily L'Humanite led with the launch picture and devoted its entire back page to an enthusiastic Moon report describing the countdown and launch, the astronauts' wives and f-milies, and backgrounding lunar activities. Hempste_d, New York: Joe Namath officially re- ported to the New York Jets training camp at Hofstra University Wednesday following a closed door meeting with his teammates over his dif- ferences with pro football Commissioner Peter Rozelle. London UPI: The House of Lords was assured Wednesday that a midget American submarine would not "damage or assault" the Loch Ness $_lster. Lord Nomay said he wanted to be sure $$yone operating a submarine in the Loch "would not subject any creatures that might inhabit it to damage or assault." He asked that the submarine's plan to take a tissue sample with a retrievable dart from any monster it finds can be done without damage and disturbance. He was told it was im- possible to say if the 1876 Cruelty to Animals Act would be violated unless and until the monster found. Over.
CDR: Roger. Thank you, Bruce. Another thing on that number 2 item, we all ... before we left, and we hope we get a chance to see him another time. Over.
CC: Roger. And I understand he was down there and really enjoyed watching the launch. We all think it was pretty magnificent, and you all are doing great Job up there.
CDR: Roger. Go $head, Houston.
CC: Roger. Mike, we've got some comments on per- formance of P23 for today if youtve got a minute to talk.
CDR: He's all ears.
CC: Okay. For today, we'd like you on P23 to make a trunnion bias determination, prior to P23 sightings as called out in procedures, and also one afterwards. Our intent here is to check out the possibility that some sort of thermal effect may be giving you errors in the angular read-out in the sextant. The bias that you get beforehand should be incorporated, that is a PROCEED on NOUN 87 after you get two consecutive measure- ments equal to within 0.003 degrees. And, of course, move the trunnion off a couple of degrees between the measurements. The Earth should be a lot smaller in your field of view today. I'm that than we are, but to ensure that you're getting a good angle measurement between the star and the Earth horizon, the sextant M-line, which is the line that runs through the two hash marks and is perpendicular to the R-line, should be parallel to the Earth horizon at the substellar point. And then the actual super- imposition of the star upon the horizon can be made at any point in the field of view of the sextant: above, below, or on the M-line. We recommend the marks be made as rapidly as possible after AUTO maneuver. If you feel that the amount of time between the AUTO maneuver and the time you get ready to mark is excessive, or that you don't like that AUTO maneuver attitude when you get ready to mark, of course, you can use a VERB 94 - VERB 94 to get you back to the flashing 51 position to redo the AUTO maneuvers. Over.
CMP: Roger. Stand by one. We're going to stop PTC, and then we'11 talk about this P23.
CMP: :{ouston, Apollo 11.
CMP: Okay. We're stopping PTC now and maneuvering to our P52 and optics CAL attitude. In regard to that P23, what I was trying to tell you yes- terday was about that. The M-line is not any- where parallel to the horizon at the roll, pitch, and yaw which you gave me to go to for the sub- stellar point, and I was trying to maneuver off to get it parallel to the horizon when you all said that was not necessary.
CC: Roger, 11. I guess in keeping the cups of coffee score, why you get that one.
CMP: Well - Okay - Well, this morning, let's just see how close it comes to being parallel to the M-line. Before we started marking for the first time, it appeared that the computation of - of those three angles was somewhat off, and that _ was wasting a lot of gas by going to those three angles and then having to make large attitude changes after that to get the M-line parallel. In some cases it appeared to be just an accepted attitude required, and you all said that it wasn't needed. So I was marking in some cases with the M-line not parallel. I thought perhaps you had some processor for computing that offset and making sense out of that data, but as far as I know, we've got to have the M-line parallel to the horizon.
CC: Roger, 11. We don't have that capability. We do require that the M-line be parallel to the horizon in order to get a good mark. We feel that possibly the - the state vector information that you were using for your maneuver basis yes- terday may have needed to be updated a little. And if you'11 standby a second, we'11 give you an evaluation of what we feel you'11 get today by the AUTO maneuver.
CMP: Roger. I'm getting ready to do an 02 Fuel cell purge. Do you have any particulars on this? And I assume you want these one at a t hne, or can I triple up? Over. don't think we have any sequence. You can do them in any order you want.
CC: And we're watching you on _ down here.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. You want to look at these NOUN 93's before I proceed on?
CC: Yes, please. Stand by a second.
CC: 11, this is Houston. On our TM, here, we're only seeing values in two registers. Can you read us out the contents of register 3, please?
CMP: Register 3: minus three balls 24.
CC: Roger. Minus three balls 24. And you can go ahead and proceed.
CMP: Okay. Proceeding at this time.
CC: 11, Houston. After you've completed P52, we'd like to uplinkyou a new state vector so we can start out clean on this P23. Over.
CMP: Houston, are you observing the higher 02 flow on fuel cell 3?
CDR: Houston, Apollo 11. Itts triggered the MASTER ALARM three times, now. There goes number 4. It goes up to about 1.4, then oscillates back down to about 1.1. Over.
CC: Roger. We saw them 1.3 now on TM. Stand by a second.
CMP: And we're in POO, now, for a state vector.
CC: Roger. Give us ACCEPT, please.
CMP: Roger. Done.
CC: 11, Houston. On your 02 flow, fuel cell 3: apparently it was flowing a little higher than the other two during purge, but the flow rate is acceptable. Over.
CMP: Roger, It seems to be flowing a little bit more, and actually putting out more current than the other two, also. Over.
CC: 11, this is Houston. We've completed the uplink; the computer is yours; you can go back to BLOCK.
CDR: Houston, 11. I don't believe we were calling you right then,
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston_ Go ahead.
CMP: Roger. I'm in a good attitude here to do - I have in the sextant this last P52 star, star 37. Is that all right for the optics calibration to save some gas, or do you want to go over to star 40?
CC: Star 37 will be fine for the optics calibration. And we haven't noticed a VERB 66, yet, after our state vector uplink. Over.
CC: When you move into P23, we recommend that you use the CMC-computed angles for your AUTO maneu- ver and see how that works out. If it doesn't bring you up with the M-line parallel to the horizon to the substellar point, we will see if we can get you some ground-com_uted angles. I guess the big thing here is to make sure that the M-line is parallel {o substellar points so we can get a good angular measurement. Over.
CMP: Yes. I believe.
CMP: Houston, Apollo tl. Marking on this star, I get a NOUN 87 twice in a row of five balls, so that's sufficient for a count.
CC: That's certainly very sufficient. to take your three angles and do a verify of 49 maneuver to your substellar point. Okay?
CC: Okay. We recommend that for the first star, if we gave you a new state vector, we'd like to try the CMC-computed angles for your AUTO maneuver.
CC: And have you hit PROCEED on this display to enter the zero?
CC: 11, Houston. Over tke past 2 hours we have seen a slight continuing increase in partial pressure Of CO2. Have you in fact changed the CO 2 canis- ter yet this morning? We don't need to do it right now; we'd just like to confirm it on our instrumentation - is in good shape. Over.
CMP: No. We haven't changed any canisters this morn- ing.
CC: Okay. Then you can plan on accomplishing that after P23 is over and you've got the LEB clear.
CMP: Ail right.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. We're in process of maneu- vering to P23 in desired attitude. It likes roll 8.37, pitch 61.33, and yaw 339.87. Over.
CC: Roger. We copy. And that is for star 017
CMP: Star 01, right near the horizon. Code 110.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. On this star, the AUTO maneuver works just fine. I am right at the substellar point. Everything looks beautiful except there is no star in sight. It is just not visible.
CC: Roger. Is this for star 017
CMP: That's correct. like that that would obscure your vision, are you?
CMP: Well, of course, the Earth is pretty bright, and the black sky, instead of being black, has sort of a rosy glow to it. The star, unless it is a very bright one, is probably lost somewhere in that glow, but it is just not visible. I maneuvered the reticle considerably above the horizon to make sure that the star is not lost in the brightness below the horizon. However, even when I get the reticle considerably above the horizon so the star should be seen against the black background, it still is not visible.
CC: Roger. We copy. Standby a minute, please.
CC: 11, this is Houston. Can you read us the shaft and trunnion angle off the counters?
CMP: Yes. I will be glad to. Shaft 331.2 and trunnion 35.85.
UNKNOWN: It's really a fantastic sight through that sex- tant. A minute ago, during that AUTO maneuver, the reticle swept across the Mediterranean. You could see all of North Africa, absolutely clear; all of Portugal, Spain, southern France; all of Italy, absolutely clear. Just a beautiful sight.
CC: Roger. We all envy you the view up there.
LMP: But still no star.
CMP: Roger. Go ahead, Bruce.
CC: On our ground computers we confirm the shaft and trunnion angle that you have as being pointed at the star. However, it looks as though that shaft and trunnion angle is also pointing into the structure of the I_, so that while you will be getting the Earth's horizon, the star ... is obscured by the LM. We recommend an AUTO maneu- ver to the attitudes pen-and-inked into the flight plan. Roll 1772, pitch 2982 and yaw 330.0. Over.
CMP: Okay. Fine. Let ts try that.
CC: 11, this is }{ouston. While you're maneuvering, could we get a LM/CM DELTA-P reading from you? Over.
CMP: Roger. Just a tad under 1, Bruce, 0.95.
CC: Roger. 0.95.
CC: Apollo 11, Houston.
CC: Is the Commander aboard?
CDR: This is the Commander.
CC: I was a little worried. This is the backup Com- mander still standing by. You haven't given me the word yet. Are you GO?
CDR: You've lost your chance to take this one, Jim.
CC: Okay. I concede.
CDR: Okay. Our maneuver is complete, and at this at- titude the M-line is exactly 90 degrees out of phase. It is exactly pointed along the vector toward the center of the Earth instead of being parallel to the right.
CMP: I'm going to hold right here for your ne_; sug- gestion.
CMP: Okay, Houston. It appears to be okay now; We've changed our attitude slightly, and I have a star and I'm maneuvering to get the M-line parallel.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 11. You - Stand by one.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Are you copying these NOUN 49's that have been going through?
CC: Yes. We surely are. Let's see: plus 0.1 and a plus 0.2 on nautical miles and feet per second. Over.
CC: Yes, Mike. We show you in VERB 59 right now. Over.
CMP: That's right. I - I haven't entered - I gave the - I gave it back to the computer for a second. I put the mode switch from MANUAL back to CMC while I fooled with the DSKY, and the computer drove the star off out of sight. So the delay here has been in going back to MANUAL and finding the star again, which I've finally done. And - Just a second here, I'11 go to ENTER and get a 51 and mark on it. As I say, for some reason the computer drove the star off out of sight.
CC: Okay. Roger. Out.
CC: Roger. We show you as a little less than an hour to the midcourse correction number 2 burn. We recommend that you terminate the P23 activities here and press on with the waste-water dump, which we need from you, and get it ready for the burn. Over.
CC: And I have your midcourse correction number 2 PAD when you're ready to copy.

CC: Roger. I just wanted to remind you thst we haven't noticed on the TM the VERB 66 after the burn. And for your information, we played the recorded TV back last night, I believe, after you all turned in for your rest period, _d the pic- tures came out quite well. Over.
CMP: Did you get any usable pictures out of MILA on that first pass?
CC: Not that we've seen. We had word on tie voice loop that MILA reported that they had gotten a minute's worth of TV signal, and Goldstone reported that they had gotten _out a minute's w_rth of modulation but that they weren't able to get anything off of it.

CMP: That PTC sure worked well last night.
CC: Outstanding.
UNKNOWN: Go _head. S-band
CC: Okay. Roll for the COMM situation: have antenna OMNI A in Bravo, S-band antenna OMNI to OMNI, high-gain track to MANUAL, and the pitch is minus 50 and yaw is 270.
CMP: YOU may have to repeat some of that, Jemes. We've got a I_M guy taking care of the high gain right now.
CDR: Yes, and he is eyeballing the Earth.
CMP: He's got his head out the window.
CC: I understand, I had _rouble on 12 with him, too.
UNKNOWN: S%y _gatn wh_t you'd like.
CC: Okay, The S-band antenna OMNI A switch to Bravo which you have now, and S-band antenna OMNI to the OMNI position, and the high-gain track to the MANUAL position, and _he pitch and yaw angles are minus 50 for pitch and yaw is 270.
LMP: Minus 50 and 270.
UNKNOWN: Hey, Jim, I'm looking through the monocular now, and to coin an expression, the view is just beauti- ful. It's out of this world. I can see all the islands in the Mediterranean. Some larger and smaller islauds of Majorca, Sardinia, and Corsica. A little haze over the upper Italian peninsula, some cumulus clouds out over Greece. The Sun is setting on the eastern Mediterranean now. The British Isles are definitely greener in color than the brownish green that we have in the islands, in the peninsula of Spain. Over.
CC: Roger. I understand that the Northern Africa - Mediterranean area is fairly clear today, huh?
CDR: Yes. We see a bunch of roads with cars driving up and down, too.
CC: Do you find that the monocular is any good to you, Buzz?
LMP: Yes, It _ou].d be nic-_r if it had _:other order of magnitude of power on it. Of course, it has a tendency to Jiggle around a little bit, and you might want to have some sort of a bracket. I hate to use that word though.
LMP: Got an anticyclone going in the southern hemisphere southeast of Brazil, and some - Well, the diameter of it must be over 2000 miles across.
CC: How does the weather look up in the southern part of the western hemisphere, or up in the United States area?
UNKNOWN: ° Well, you all are Just beginning to cone over the limb now. I can see parts of Central America, and it looks to be fairly clear there. _T_e islands in the Caribbean are beginning to come in and rather a few streaming lines of clouds. Looks like there is a system up to the - well, off of Greenland that has some large cloud streamers extending back down to the southwest. The east coast of the U.S. is just coming into view now, and it doesn't look too bad that I can see right now. We m_y have some pretty good shots later on this afternoon. Over.
UNKNOWN: I've got a comment about the point on the Earth where the Sun's rays reflect back up toward us. In general, the color of the oceans is mostly uniform and it's bright and darker blue except for that region that's about one-eighth of an Earth's radius in diameter; and in this circular area, the blue of the water turns a grayish color, and I'm sure that's where the Sun's rays are being reflected back on up toward us. Over.
CC: Roger, Buzz. We noticed the same thing. It's very similar to looking at a light shining on something like a billiard ball or a bowling ball. You get this bright spot in the blue of the water, and that turns it to sort of a grayish color.
LMP: Yes. Is there a Na_y term for that?
CC: (Laughing.) A lot of gray p_int.
CC: il, Houston.
CMP: Go s_head, Houston.
CC: Mike, are you satisfied with P23 now?
UNKNOWN: Yes, I'm happy with the last updates we got, you know, in terms of what _t did to oar state vector. Still not altogether happy with the various pro- cedures. If we could pick stars withir the smaller range of trunnion angles so that you cculd allow P23 to pick its own maneuver and go to that sub- stellar point and then have that star visible, that would seem to me to be the simplest and best way to do it.
CC: How about the - -
LMP: ... correction on that last ...
CC: How about the horizon now? Is it pretty well defined for you and no longer hazy?
CMP: Yes. We're far enough out now that the - I think the horizon definition variation is lost in the North.
CC: Go ahead, Buzz.
LMP: Looks like the best way to get a steady view through the monocular is Just steady it out and let it close when it's in front of your eye, and then you kind of float up next to it so that you're not touching it at all. It has a very slow drift, and you get a better - steadier view that way.
CC: How does it feel to be airborne again, Buzz?
LMP: Well, I'11 tell you, I've been having a ball floating around inside here, back and forth up to one place and back to another. It's li_e being out- side, except more comfortable.
CC: It's a lot bigger than our last vehicle.
UNKNOWN: ... kept me busy, I'm ...
CMP: Say again about Buzz -
LMP: Yes. It sure is nice in here.
CC: I said it's a lot bigger than the last -_ehiele that Buzz and I were ia.
CMP: Oh, yes. It's been nice. I've been very busy so far. I'm looking forward to taking the after- noon off. I've been cooking, and sweeping, and almost sewing, and you know, the usual little housekeeping things.
CC: It was very convenient the way they put the food preparation system right next to the NAV station.
UNKNOWN: CDR Everything is right next to everything _n this vehicle.
LMP: Not if you're in the ...
CDR: Jim, it's been a little warm in the machine through- out yesterday and last night during the PTC. It cooled off somewhat with the windows buttoned up, and we've seen suit temperatures of about - the high 40's and cabin temperatures in the low 60's. But this seems to be still a little bit on the warm side.
CC: I understand that it got a little warm during the day and cooled down a little bit when you put the shades up, but you're still a little bit warm. Do you have any moisture condensation or an?thing like that on the wall?
CDR: No, we haven't bee n able to detect any moisture anyplace in the spacecraft. It seems to be fine.
LMP: One of the hydrogen filters - the one that we've got on the hot water - seems to keep flowing when you remove one of the food bags from it. Its flow rate is quite small, right near the end of one out, and that contributes a little bit of moisture to the atmosphere.
CMP: Yes, that hydrogen thing, it's - I'm not sure, but I think it's a backpressure problem. If the thing sees any baekpressure at all, like when the bag is attached, well the flow rate will slowly de- crease to where it's almost zero, and you wait, and you wait, and you wait for that last o,_uce. You think you have its and you remove the bag, and then you very rapidly thereafter see maybe a glob the size of a dime or a quarter come out and Just hang there. That appears to be true even though the opening into the bag is not restricted.
LMP: In general, I think they do quite a good job, especially on the guns, in removing a lot of the hydrogen bubbles.
CC: Have the water temperatures been good? Are you getting hot water?
LMP: Yes. It seems reasonably warm.
CMP: We made three cups of coffee today. The last one - you know when all the plumbing was warmed up, the hydrogen gun and everything, was warmest of the three. I don't know who had that one -Neil, did you have that one? How was your coffee? You didn't Anyway, drink it till later, 5id you? it's pretty good. It's not piping hot, but it sure beats stone-cold coffee.
CMP: Jim, we've been sitting here a little over 20 minutes now, How does the thruster firing activity look? Are you ready to go on with this PTC?
CC: We're all set to go, Mike.
CMP: Okay. I'11 press on then.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 11. PTC has started and it looks good.
CC: 11, Roger. This is Houston. Roger. fn_t.
CC: Roger. If you're free for a couple of minutes, we have a procedure here that will let .ksverify the 02 flow transducer and at the same time get some more of our cabin enrichment out of the way. Over.
CDR: Go ahead, Houston. We're ready to cop).
CC: Roger. The primar_y purpose of this is, as i men- tioned, to let us cne_k out your O_ flow transducer. However, we still need about 2 hours' worth of cabin enrichment, so we'd like to keep ohe vent that we're going to set up going for this purpose. Okay. want vent We you to instal.I the cabin quick dis- connect which you'11 find in compartmerJt R-6, that anel is Romeo 6, on the urine connector on t 251. When this is completed, verify that th_ waste stowage vent valve is closed, and then open or position the waste management overboard drain to the DUMP position. O_'er.
CDR: Okay. Understand that. Install the cabin quick disconnect out, of R-6 on the 251 urine ,_.onnector and verify that the waste dump valve is closed, and say again the last part.
CC: Roger. And then put the waste management overboard drain valve into the DUMP position. Ower.
CDR: Roger. Put the waste management overboard drain valve to the DUMP position. panel
CC: Right. That's the one down on 251 also. And we'11 watch your 02 flow on telemetry down here.
CDR: Okay, Houston. That configuration is set up.
CC: 11, this is Houston. Say again, please.
CDR: You do have the 02 flow transducer checkout setup accomplished.
CC: Okay. Understand you have opened the drain valve at this time.
CDR: That's ... It's in DU_.
CC: Roger. We're not getting telemetry data from you ri&bt due to low signal strength. There it comes back. I expect it'11 probably take us anywhere from 15 minutes to half an hour to see an increase in 02 flow due to the size of the cabin and of course of the small size of the drain. Over.
CMP: Roger. I've got the world in my window for a change and looking at it through the monocular, it's really something. I wish I could describe it properly. The weather is very good. South America is coming around into view. I can see on the - what appears to me to be upper horizon, a point that must be Just about Seattle, Washington, and from there I eau see all the way do_n to the southern tip of Tierra del Fuego and th,_ southern tip of the continent.
CC: Roger. · So,raidslike you've got a beauti_l.vtew up there.
CMP: AbsolUtely _ fantastic. I hope 6he pictures come out; we,re rotating around where it's going out of vi _,eVregain, j. ,

LMP: Houston, Apollo 11. Do you need some help keep- ing OMNI's locked on us?
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. Negative. We had a command computer at the Madrid site go down. We had to switch over to Ascension temporarily. We're now back remoting through Madrid_ and the computer is back, and we're ready to r,_sume con- trol of your ONLNI's and full communication. Over.
LMP: Okay. You've got it.
CC: Okay. One thing that we did miss in the dropout LM/CM in the noise here is your DELTA-? reading for about 28 hours GZT. Over. LM/CM
LMP: Okay. The DELTA-P is 0.98.
CC: Roger. 0.98, and what have you been r_sding for 02 flow on your onboard gage? Over.
LMP: Well, right now, after we put that gadget in, we've got it back to 0.35. Before that, we were reading on scale level. I thir_ ol_s _s relatively correct, et lea_t when time comes for the water _ccumulator to kick in at 10 seconds, _t goes on up to about 0.75, 0.8, something like that.
CC: And, 11, _his is Houston. A little more infor- mation based on our snalysis of your last SPS burn: ;it looks ilke you got a good solid bur_ there. We show. 94 psi chamber pressure and it looks like the sPs is e nitely oo. Over.
LMP: Good to heer it.
CC: Roge_i We thought you'd feel that way about it.
LMP: We're right in the middle of - well either ... or Smlmmnsala_, or something like that. That's probably why we're not answering you right away.
CC: Okay. Well, we don't want - -
LMP: My compliments to the chef, that salad salmon is outstanding.
CC: Roger. Understand that's the salad salmon. Over.
LMP: Something like that, salmon salad.
CC: There we go, the salmon salad, very good.
UNKNOWN: Okay. Bruce, we're coming up on the water ac- cumulator activity, and it's going on up to 0.85, oh, about 0.95 and it reached a peak there and then gradually dropped back on down to 0.6 now, 0.4, and it looks like it's pretty well - pretty well leveling off back down to 0.35. Over.
CC: Roger, We're copying that.
CC: Roger. On that 20 flc'w transducer town here on telemetry, our values are agreeing pi_et_y well with what you read out onboard, and the EECOMM's have been noticing this cycle, but it still looks like the indicated rate is lower than waat we would expect. We're still working on the prcolem, and we'11 let you have a Fore complete diagnosis on it in a little while.
CDR: Ok_kv. It'_ _ tight fix then.
CMP: We ru_ a tight ship.
CC: Roger, Is that music I hear in the back,ground?
CMP: Buzz in singing.
CC: Okays' ' me'
CMP: Pass' the sausage, man.
CC: Apollo li, this is Houzton. Over.
CC: Roger, 11. We've been watching your activity on the DSKY there, and by selecting another major program with a VERB 37 ENTER and all that, we show you collapsing the deadband in PTC and having driven the CMC rate from 0.3 degrees per second down to 0 degrees per second, although of course, with all the AUTO RCS coils shut off, you're not firing any thrusterS. 0ver.
CDR: Okay. What do you recommend?
CC: Well, you can just continue in your present con- figuration in PTC. However, if you go to turn any thrusters on, the CMC would then try to bring you into an attitude hold position rather than con- tinning with the PTC. Over.
CDR: Roger. I understand.
CDR: And, Houston, we're just looking at you out our window here. Looks like there's a circulation of clouds that just moved east of Houston over the Gulf and Florida area. Did that have any rain ir_ it this morning?
CC: Roger. Our report from outside says that it's raining out here, s_nd looks like you've got a pretty good eye for the weather there.
CDR: Yes. Well, it looks like it ought to clear up pretty soon from our viewpoint. The western edge of the weather isn't wery far west of you.
CC: Okay. !i'a_e 93
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. aver.
CC: 11, this is Houston. As a result of our venting through the waste management drain, we've con- cluded that your 02 flow rate sensor is, in fact, malfunctioning. I mentioned when you talked us through the cyclic water accumulator dbmp that even though it was moving, probably indicating a higher flow rate, it didn't seem to be indicating a flow rate that is high enough; and based on that and the flow that we're getting right now, we've concluded that the transducer is malfmie- tioning. We'd like to continue the 02 flow for about another hour, shutting it off at about 3] hours GET, to get the 02 concentration in thJ vehicles up vo - in the vehicles up bo where it will be acceptable for _i checkout. Over.
CDR: Okay. Does it look to you like it just has a bias on it?
CC: Roger, 11. It does seem to be a bias. Looks like it has a fairly high threshold before it starts indicating. EECOMM seems to thJmk, though, that for high flow rate purposes, it w_ll still give you a relative indication during the mission. Over.
CDR: Okay. We understand. Thank you.
CC: Apollo 11, this is Houston. We would ]ike you to terminate charging on battery A at d ET 30 plus 15. Over.
CDR: Okeff. 30 plus 15 for battery A charge terminate.
CC: Apollo il, this is Houston. Over.
CC: Roger. Iff you're free for a minute, I've got some updates to the P37 PAD's that we passed up to you yesterday afternoon, I guess. As a result of doing midcourse correction number 2, the DELTA-V required in the TLI plus 35, 44, and 53 PAD's have changed slightly. Over.
CDR: Roger. Standing by to copy.
CC: Okay. TLI plus 35 PAD: the DELTA-V T should be 7992 instead of 8016. TLI plus 44 - It should be 6112 instead of 6141. And TLI plus 53 - It should be 8172 instead of 8209. Read back. Over.
