00 01 39 04
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, this is Houston. Readback correct. For your information, Goldstone reports receiving approximately 1 minute of FM downlink carrier. We were getting ready to request you confirm on the S-band AUX switches, the S-band AUX tape switch to OFF and the S-band AUX TV switch to TV. Over.
00 01 39 29
Neil Armstrong (CDR): I confirm that that is the configuration we're in.
00 01 39 33
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Roger. Let us do a little more detective work here and we'll see if we can come up with something.
00 01 39 38
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Okay.
00 01 39 54
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Houston, Apollo 11 is ready to go ahead with the—extend the docking probe, and ready to go with the RCS hot fire when you're ready to monitor. Over.
00 01 40 06
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Roger. Go ahead with the probe, now.
00 01 40 13

00 01 41 48
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. Here's the pitch.
00 01 42 13
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, this is Houston. We are seeing the pitch hot firing and it looks good.
00 01 42 18
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. Be advised that we are unable to hear them.
00 01 42 22
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Roger. We copy.
00 01 42 24
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Have you seen all three axes fire?
00 01 42 31
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): We've seen pitch and yaw; we've not seen roll to date.
00 01 42 36
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Okay. I'll put in a couple more rolls.
00 01 42 42
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Okay. We've got the roll impulses, and you're looking good here.
00 01 42 48
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. Houston, Apollo 11. We're standing by for a GO for sequence logic ON.
00 01 43 03
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, this is Houston. Go ahead and we'll watch you on TM.
00 01 43 07
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Okay. Sequence logic, two of them. Sequence logic 1 and 2 coming up and ON.
00 01 43 36
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, this Houston. You are GO for PYRO ARM.
00 01 43 40
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. Thank you.
00 01 43 57
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, this is Houston. If you will give us P00 in ACCEPT, we have a state vector update for you.
00 01 44 04
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger.
00 01 44 17
Neil Armstrong (CDR): You have P00 in ACCEPT.
00 01 44 19
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Roger. It will probably be another 10 or 15 seconds. We're going to go up through the Vanguard. When you are ready to copy, I have your TLI PAD.
00 01 44 26
Michael Collins (CMP): Roger. Ready to copy TLI PAD.
00 01 44 30
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Roger. TLI: 23514 179 071 001, burn time 547 104356 35575. Roll for SEP 357 107 041, 301 287 319. TLI 10-minute abort pitch, 223. Read back. Over.

00 01 46 03
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, this is Houston. Roger. Would you read back DELTA-VC prime again? You were cut out by some noise.
00 01 46 09
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay. Roger. I'm picking up the squeal here, also. DELTA-VC 104356. Over.
00 01 46 25
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, this is Houston. Readback correct. Out.
00 01 47 06
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Apollo 11, this is Houston. We've completed the uplink; the computer is yours. You can go back to BLOCK. Would you verify that you have extended the probe? Over.
00 01 47 16
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. That's verified; the probe is extended.
00 01 47 19
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Roger. About 2 minutes to LOS on this stateside pass. AOS Canaries at 1 50 13. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR): Roger. Houston, Apollo 11. Loud and clear.
00 01 50 49
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Okay. On your service module RCS quad Bravo package temperature, we're showing it running a little low. Looks like about 20 degrees low—lower than the rest of the quads. Would you confirm that your RCS heater switch for quad Bravo is in PRIMARY? Over.
00 01 51 09
Neil Armstrong (CDR): You're correct. It was not in PRIMARY. It was off. It's on now. Thank you.
00 01 51 16
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Roger. Thank you.
00 01 53 50

00 01 53 54
Michael Collins (CMP): Houston, Apollo 11. Go ahead.
00 01 53 56
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Roger. We've checked over the spacecraft and the launch vehicle guidance. They're both looking to be in good shape. We estimate you have better than a 99-percent probability of a guidance cut-off on the launch vehicle, so things are apparently holding in very well. For your information, MILA received approximately 1 minute of a usable TV picture, so apparently the system is working. And you're a little over a minute from LOS at Canary; AOS Tananarive is 2 hours 9 minutes and 18 seconds. Over.
00 01 54 34
Michael Collins (CMP): Roger. We like those 99 numbers. Thank you.
00 01 54 38
Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Roger. Out.

00 02 10 39
CommTech: Negative.
00 02 10 41
CommTech: Roger. Monitor again and I'll tell CAP COMM to make one more transmission.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM): Roger. We'll be coming within range of the ARIA aircraft coverage, here, in about 1 minute. They're going to try uplinking both on S-band and on VHF this time. So if you turn your—make sure your S-band volume is turned up, we'd appreciate it. And we believe that we'll have continuous coverage from now on through the TLI burn. Over.
00 02 30 42
