Michael Collins (CMP)

I said the Czar is brushing his teeth, so I'm filling in for him. What can we do for you?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. If you don't get in the way of the Czar while he's brushing his teeth, we'd like you to bring up the primary accumulator quantity a little bit. We're showing the quantity now at 20.6 percent on TM. Seems to have gone down a bit since you've gone into the shadow. We'd like it serviced to bring the quantity up to between 30 and 40 percent, preferable 35 percent. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

The computer is yours, 11. The loads are in and verified. You can go back to BLOCK.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, this is Houston. On the basis of your last P52 alignment, the platform looks like it's indeed performing very well. No problems there, no updates required, and no PIPA bias update is required either. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Houston, Apollo 11. Radio check.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, this is Houston. Loud and clear. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay. Just checking. Do you want high gain?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. If you can give it to us.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Houston, Apollo 11. How do you read on the high gain?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Loud and clear on the high gain.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Same here. We've completed the P52 option 1.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. We've been looking over your shoulder by TM.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Houston, Apollo 11. Standing by to copy TEI 1 and TEI 4. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. I've got the 1 and 4 PAD's here, right now. I'll be ready to read them up to you in just a second.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, this is Houston. I'm ready with the TEI 1 and 4 PAD's. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. TEI 1, SPS G&N: 38658, minus 054, plus 065, TIG 078 02 0345, plus 29180, plus 03779, minus 01325; roll NA, pitch 041. The balance of the PAD is NA. Ullage two jets, 19 seconds. TEI 4 PAD, SPS G&N: 38658, minus 054, plus 065, TIG 084 29 5059, plus 31373, plus 03760, minus 00968; roll NA, pitch 034. The rest of the PAD is NA. Ullage two jets, 19 seconds. Both of these PAD's are for an undocked maneuver. TEI plus 4 PAD assumes no LOI-2. Over. Make that TEI 4 PAD assumes no LOI-2.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. TEI 1, SPS G&N: 38658, minus 054, plus 065, 078 02 0345, plus 29180, plus 03779, minus 01325; roll NA, pitch 041; two jets, 19 seconds, undocked. TEI 4: 38658, minus 054, plus 065, 084 29 5059, plus 31373, plus 03760, minus 00968; roll NA, pitch 034; two jets, 19 seconds, undocked; assumes no LOI-2.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

— 11, this is Houston. Readback correct. Out.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. Go ahead, Houston.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. At GET of 74 30, we'd like you to cycle the fans in all four CRYO tanks and position the heaters in all four CRYO tanks to the AUTO position. We're doing this in advance of LOI in order to insure that you don't have any destratification as a result of the burn, which might result in giving you a master caution and warning during the burn. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. Was that 74 30? You want us to cycle the heaters and turn—cycle the fans and turn all the heaters on.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

All the heaters to AUTO; cycle the fans at 74 30, about 25 minutes from now. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, this is Houston. Radio check. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Apparently this is not a very good OMNI attitude for you. We're ready to start our PTC check.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, this is Houston. We're ready, except that we'd like to get the high gain antenna prior to this test. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Can you give us a couple of pointing angles?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. From an attitude with 60 degrees roll, around to an attitude of roll 058 inertial. It would be pitch plus 30 and yaw 270 on the high gain antenna.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston. Radio check. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston. Radio check. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Do you read? Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. We're reading you weak but clear.
