Spacelog Apollo 11

Hey, Houston, Apollo 11. That Saturn gave us a magnificent ride.

Roger, 11. We'll pass that on. And, it certainly looks like you are well on your way now.

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

Roger. We copy. No transients at staging of any significance. Over.

That's right. It was all—all a good ride.

Houston. Roger. Out.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. For your information, we expect the maneuver to separation attitude to begin at 3 plus 05 plus 03, and to be completed at plus 09 plus 20. Separation at 3 plus 15 plus 00.

Roger. Time to begin maneuver is 3 05 03, complete 3 09 20. Separation 3 plus 15 00.

Roger. That separation should be 3 plus 15 03. My error in reading up.

Roger.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. All the booster functions are proceeding normally. The sequencing is in good shape, and it doesn't look like they are having any problems at all. Over.

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

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

Hello, Houston. Hello, Houston. This is Apollo 11. I'm reading you loud and clear. Go ahead. Over.

Roger, 11. This is Houston. We had to shift stations. We weren't reading you through Goldstone. We show PYRO bus A armed and PYRO bus B not armed at the present time. Over.

That's affirmative, Houston. That's affirmative.

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

Okay. PYRO B coming armed. My intent is to use bottle primary 1, as per the checklist; therefore, I just turned A on.

Houston, we're about to SEP.

This is Houston. We copy.

Roger. We are docked. We do have acquisition with the high gain at this time, I think.

Understand you are using the high gain. Over.

That's affirmative.

That's affirmative.

Roger. I read you very loud and clear, Buzz. Mike is pretty weak.

Roger. We've got the high gain locked on, now, I believe; AUTO tracking now.

Okay. You're coming in loud and clear, but Mike is just barely readable.
