Spacelog Apollo 11

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

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. That's verified; the probe is extended.

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

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Roger. Houston, Apollo 11. Loud and clear.

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.

You're correct. It was not in PRIMARY. It was off. It's on now. Thank you.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Houston, Apollo 11. Go ahead.

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 like those 99 numbers. Thank you.

Apollo 11, this is Houston through Tananarive. How do you read?

Goddard voice, reading you loud and clear.

Roger. We cannot raise Tananarive.

Houston COMM TECH, Tananarive.

Roger, Tananarive. Are you receiving CAP COMM's voice, and are you uplinking it?

Negative.

Roger. Monitor again and I'll tell CAP COMM to make one more transmission.

Houston, Apollo 11 …

Houston, Apollo 11. We have the PYRO's armed.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. One minute to LOS Tananarive; AOS at Carnarvon 02 25 30.

Houston, we read you strength 4 and a little scratchy.

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

Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston. We're reading you readability about 3, strength 5. Sounds pretty good. Over.
