Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. Stars—Codes are stars 26, 30, and 24. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We notice your PROGRAM ALARM, Mike, was due to using these stars in the P23 attitude. If you'll go to 000, the stars we gave you will work. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Prior to you starting your P52, we'd like to give you a new CSM state vector. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Roger. Wait till we finish the maneuver and we'll give you the DSKY.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. We're standing by.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Houston, Apollo 11. The DSKY is yours.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, Houston. Go ahead. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Roger. The DSKY is yours.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. You can do the VERB 66. The computer is yours, and then the P52, option 1 preferred. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Do you read? Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. If you read, this attitude 000 is pretty bad for our COMM. In fact, we've lost all data with you, and unreadable on the voice. We recommend you do the P52, option 1 preferred …

Michael Collins (CMP)

… not a very good attitude at all for COMM, and as soon as we finish our alignment, we'll maneuver it to a different attitude. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger, 11. We copy. Recommend you go to this P52, option 1 preferred, and then go to PTC attitude. Over. Then we'll get some COMM. When you get there to PTC attitude, it'll be pitch 90, yaw 0 on the high gain. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Houston, Apollo 11. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger, 11. You're about one-by. Go ahead.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, Houston. You're about one-by. Go ahead. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Houston, Apollo 11. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger, 11. Read you about four-by. How me? Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

You're loud and clear, Charlie. We pitched down some to get a better COMM attitude.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. Did you copy our recommendation on proceeding with the P52, Mike? Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Negative. We didn't. I've got that in work. I'm starting on P52.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Roger. Copy our torquing angles. We're about to torque them.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Roger. The reason for delay, Charlie, is that—difficult to find two stars that are not occulted by the LM and also are not in the midst of a manmade star field up here with dumps.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. You can torque the NOUN 93. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay, Houston. That completes the P52. We verified the third star with Antares, and AUTO optics are pointing at it pretty closely. How do our platform drift angles look so far, Charlie?

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We didn't have a chance to get a good check for you. We're going to run a drift check from this alignment until the next one, approximately 12 hours, and we'll have something for you later. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We'd like you to establish your PTC. We recommend you select quads Alfa and Delta. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Roger. Understand. Alfa and Delta quads.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Would you verify that the ATTITUDE SET switch is in GDC? Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

The SET switch. Stand by one, Charlie.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Houston, Apollo 11. How many miles out do you have us now?

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

We have you—Stand by, Buzz. Roughly about 50,000. Stand by.
