Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. We show you as a little less than an hour to the midcourse correction number 2 burn. We recommend that you terminate the P23 activities here and press on with the waste-water dump, which we need from you, and get it ready for the burn. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

And I have your midcourse correction number 2 PAD when you're ready to copy.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Roger, Houston. Apollo 11, ready to copy MCC 2.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Midcourse correction number 2. SPS/G&N 63059, plus 097, minus 020, GET ignition 02644 5792, plus 00118, minus 00003, plus 00177, roll 277 355 015, NOUN 44 BLOCK is NA, DELTA-VT 00213 003 00168, sextant star 30 2082 370. The rest of the PAD is NA. GDC align: Vega and Deneb. Roll align 007 144 068. No ullage. LM weight: 33302. For your information, your heads will be pointed roughly towards the Earth on this burn. Read back. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Roger. Midcourse correction number 2. SPS/G&N: 63059, plus 097, minus 020 02644 5792, plus 00118, minus 00003, plus 00177 277—Are you still copying?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. Still copying. Go ahead. Apollo 11, this is Houston. I copied your transmission about roll 277, and go ahead from roll 277. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Roger. 355 015, NA, 00213 003 00168 30 2082 370. Vega and Deneb 007 144 068. No ullage. LM weight: 33302. Heads towards the Earth. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, this is Houston. Readback correct. Out.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Go ahead, Houston. Apollo 11.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. We'd like you to terminate battery A at GET 26 hours and reinitiate battery A charge after midcourse correction 2. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. If you can give us ACCEPT, we'll send you up a state vector and a target load for the maneuver.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. Give us 1 minute to check the P23 damage.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Houston, Apollo 11. The DSKY's yours.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, this is Houston. We've completed the uplink. The computer's yours.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Roger. Wonder if you have a star that might be a little closer to the direction we're burning than the one you gave us.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. We're going to rework the attitude in the sextant star for you in order to improve the high-gain antenna coverage, and we'll have that for you in a few seconds.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Fine. We're already maneuvering …

Michael Collins (CMP)

Maybe you can make it just the change in roll.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. On your attitude for the burn: we'd like you to use roll 096, pitch 356, yaw 018. That will give you a sextant star of 01, shaft 253.8, trunnion 24.2. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, this is Houston. We are having difficulty reading you through the noise. Could you read back again, please? Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Roger, Houston. Apollo 11. Do you copy?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. Very weakly in the noise, but I think I can copy. Go ahead.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay. Roll 096 356 018 … star 01 …

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. I got all of that except trunnion. It's trunnion 242. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Houston, Apollo 11. How do you read me now on OMNI A?

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. We'll stay on OMNI A for a while, then.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Okay. I got all your readback except the value for trunnion. If it's 242, confirm, please.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Okay.
