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.
- Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. Let us do a little more detective work here and we'll see if we can come up with something.

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.
- Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, this is Houston. We are seeing the pitch hot firing and it looks good.
- Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. We've got the roll impulses, and you're looking good here.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. If you will give us P00 in ACCEPT, we have a state vector update for you.
- 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.

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.

Roger. About 2 minutes to LOS on this stateside pass. AOS Canaries at 1 50 13. Over.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
- Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. We're reading you strength 5, readability about 3. Should be quite adequate.

We have no complaints with any of the three stages on that ride. It was beautiful.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. You're GO for separation. Our systems recommendation is arm both PYRO buses. Over.
