Spacelog Apollo 11

Go ahead, Houston.

Roger, Mike. We got an update on the LAT longitude for the LM, if you're ready to copy. Over.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Roger. Columbia, it's plus 7—correction, plus 0.799 for the LAT, plus 11.730 for the longitude over two. Over.

Thank you. The altitude remain unchanged?

Say again. Over.

Does the altitude remain unchanged? …

That's affirmative.

Hello, Tranquility Base. Houston. You are stay for a T3. We have some surface block data if you're ready to copy. Over.

Roger. Understand we're stay for T3. Stand by.

Okay, Houston. Go ahead with your block data.

Roger, Tranquility. T4, 106 38 02; T5, 108 36 15; T6, 110 34 30; T7, 112 32 45. Over.

Copy. T4, 106 38 07; T5, 108 36 15; T6 110 34 30; T7, 112 32 45.

Roger, Tranquility. Stand by one.

Tranquility, Houston. Say again your T4 copy. Over.

T4, 106 38 07.

Roger. Correction on T4: 106 38 02. Over.

Got T4, 106 38 02.

…

Roger.

Hello, Columbia. Houston. We will not come up on the MSFN relay. We'd like you to come on panel 9, turn on your VHF to TR. Over.

Okay. I'm on panel 9. Ready to receive. You want me to transmit for some reason with it?

Say again, Mike. You're about two by.

Roger. Panel 9 is configured VHF, RECEIVE. You want me to transmit with the HF for some reason? Why do you want me in TR?

Columbia, this is Houston. We don't want you to transmit, Mike. We just want you in that position in case you want to talk to Tranquility. Break. Tranquility, Houston. Say again. Over.

Roger. I have a fairly good sized difference between battery volts on 5 and 6; 6 is reading 33.5 and 5 is reading 36.5. Is that what you expect? Over.

Roger. Stand by.

Tranquility, Houston. They are both coming up in voltage. No problem. We're still GO. Over.

Hello, Tranquility Base. Houston. Could you please give us a readout now of all of your descent tank pressures? Over.

Okay, Houston. On descent 1, fuel and oxidizer are reading 10 psi; and descent 2, fuel is reading 10 psi, oxidizer 11 psi.

Roger, Tranquility. Thank you much. Out.

Houston, Tranquility Base is ready to go through the powerdown and terminate the simulated countdown.

Roger. Standby.

Hello, Tranquility Base. Houston. You can start your powerdown now. Over.

Roger. It's in progress.

And, Tranquility Base, the White Team is going off now and letting the Maroon Team take over. We appreciate the great show. It was a beautiful Job, you guys.

Houston, Tranquility.

Go, Tranquility. Over.

Roger. Our recommendation at this point is planning an EVA with your concurrence starting about eight o'clock this evening, Houston time. That is about 3 hours from now.

Stand by.

Well, we will give you some time to think about that.

Tranquility Base, Houston. We thought about it; we will support it. You're GO at that time. Over.

Roger.

You guys are getting prime time TV there.

Hope that little TV set works, but we'll see.

Roger.

That's what we thought. Thank you much.

That might be a little later than that, but in other words, start the PREP in about an hour or so.

Houston, Columbia. Copy NOUN 49?

Stand by, Columbia.

Tranquility Base, Houston. That's fine. We are ready to support you any time, Neil. Over.

Roger.

Roger.

Break. Columbia, we see the NOUN 49. Stand by.

Columbia, Houston. We got the data. We would like a VERB 34. Over.

All right. Stand by one, Charlie, for the next one.

Roger, Columbia. Did—How did Tranquility look to you down there? Over.

Well, the area looks smooth, but I was unable to see him. I just picked out a distinguishable crater nearby and marked on it.

Roger.

It looks like a nice area, though.

Hello, Columbia. Houston. I understand you could not see Tranquility. What were you marking on? Over.

Houston, Columbia. I say again, I could not see him. AUTO optics pointed at a spot very close to the coordinates which you gave me, so I picked a tiny crater in that area and marked on it so I will be able to have repeatable data, but I was unable to see him.

Columbia, Houston. Over.

Columbia. Go.

Columbia, Houston. We noticed you are maneuvering very close to gimbal lock. I suggest you move back away. Over.

Yes. I am going around it, doing this CMC AUTO maneuvers to the PAD values of roll 270, pitch 101, yaw 45.

Roger, Columbia.

How about sending me a fourth gimbal for Christmas.

Columbia, Houston. You were unreadable. Say again please.

Disregard.

Columbia, Houston. Several items for you. Over.

Ready to copy.

Columbia, Houston. First of all, we'd like a waste water dump to 10 percent on the backside. Secondly, it does not look like we are going to need any plane change at this time, so we will not be uplinking a new REFSMMAT. Third item, I would like all of your CRYO heaters to AUTO, and we are ready for a battery charge, battery BRAVO; it will last about 7 hours. If you should go to sleep, we will be terminating that BATT charge, but at the moment, we can go ahead and start the BATT charge on BATT Bravo. And a final item, for your SM RCS configuration for your rest period, register 1 for the DAP is 11111; DAP register 2, 01100. And your AUTO RCS select switches, quad Alfa, pitch jets on only, quad Bravo all on, quad Charlie and quad Delta all off. Over.

Roger. Dump waste water to 10 percent on the backside. Use prior REFSMMAT, CRYO heaters on to AUTO, battery B charge until I go to sleep. DAP is 11111, 01100. Select quads A pitch only on, C and D all up. Over.

Columbia, Houston. Roger.

Columbia, Houston. We will have a state vector update for you a little later. We are not prepared with it right now; and on another subject, from Tranquility Base, they are prepared to begin their EVA early. They expect to begin DEPRESS operations in about 3 hours at 108, approximately 108 GET. Over.

Sounds good to me. Tell them to eat some lunch before they go.

Columbia, Houston. We'd like your PRD readouts when possible, and we've checked over your EM dump. It all looks okay.

Tranquility Base, Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston.

Tranquility, Houston. We'd like your PRD readout, and we have double checked your EM dump. It all looks okay. Over.

Roger. Understand our E memory dump was good. CDR's dosimeter is 11014.

And LMP is 09011.

Roger, Tranquility. Break. Columbia, we would like for you to REACQ with your high gain; attempt a manual lock on. Over.

…

Houston, Tranquility here. The LMP's readout may possibly be 09017. Over.

Tranquility, Houston. Roger. 09017 is an update on your readout.

Columbia's in high gain.

I'll let you know for sure when it goes to either 12 or 18.

Tranquility, Houston. Roger. The medics report your latter reading, 17, appears to be the correct one. Over.

Roger.

Columbia's in the high gain.
