Spacelog Apollo 11

Houston, Apollo 11. Torquing angles essentially the same, and we're going to go ahead and torque them now.

Roger. We concur.

Okay.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Could you give us a—an AUTO optics check to a third star or a different star from the one you've been using?

Sure, be glad to. I can go back and do the whole thing and pick different stars.

I don't think there—there's any need to do that. We'd just like to confirm it with a different star, since that roll angle was a little larger than we expected.

Okay.

Apollo 11, Houston. I have a TLI-plus-11-hour PAD when you're ready to copy.

Wait one.

Old star number 30 looks like it is right dab smack in the middle of the sextant.

Houston. Roger. Out.

Ready to copy.

Roger, 11 This is TLI-plus-11-hours. P37 format: 01344 4793, minus 165 04923. Read back. Over.

Roger. 01344 4793, minus 165 04923. Over.

Houston, Apollo 11.

Go ahead, 11.

Roger. Do you have any update for the roll, pitch and yaw angles on the top of page 37 in the flight plan. Or are they still good?

That's for the optics calibration?

Yes, sir.

Yes, indeed. I'll give them to you in just a second here.

Roger, 11. For the optics calibration I've got 346.5 for roll, 345.0 for pitch, and 007.8 for yaw. The pen-and-ink attitude corrections in your book for P23 are good. Over.

Okay. Thank you.

And we're going to hand over to Hawaii in about 5 or 6 seconds, here. We'll have a momentary COMM dropout.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Be advised your friendly White Team has come on for its first shift, and if we can be of service, don't hesitate to call.

Thank you very much. And we're about to take our marks, Charlie, on this P23 optics CAL. I've got it in the sextant now, and I'm about to split the image and Mark.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We have scrubbed the midcourse 1. Over.

Roger. Understand you've scrubbed midcourse 1.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We see your middle gimbal angle getting pretty big. Over.

Well, it was, Charlie, but in going from one AUTO maneuver to another, we took over control and have gone around gimbal lock; and we're about to give control back to the DAP.

Houston, Apollo 11.

Go ahead, 11. Over.

Roger. You're looking at our DELTA-R DELTA-V. It looks like DELTA-R is pretty large, there. We wanted to talk to you about it before we incorporate it.

Stand by, Mike. We don't have anything on our downlink here, I don't think, on the DSKY. Stand by.
