Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Houston, Apollo 11. Could you give us a couple of high-gain antenna angles, please?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger, 11. Pitch minus 35, yaw 0. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Houston, Apollo 11. How do you read high gain?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Read you loud and clear on high gain down here, and everything's looking good from our standpoint for your burn. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Houston, burn completed. You copying our residuals?

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

And, Houston, looked like we saw about 87 or 88 psi on chamber pressure that time. I'd like you to look at that on the ground.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger, 11. We'll take a look at that and get back in a few minutes.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, Houston. On our real-time telemetry we saw 95 to 97 psi on chamber pressure. We'll—We will look at the recordings down here, thought, and get back with you again. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

And we've copied your residuals, 11.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Roger. No, we're not going to trim those …

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, Houston. Could we get your DELTA-V counter reading, please, from this burn?

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Houston, is there anything else you need on the burn status report?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

This is Houston. Negative, 11.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. I just wanted to remind you that we haven't noticed on the TM the VERB 66 after the burn. And for your information, we played the recorded TV back last night, I believe, after you all turned in for your rest period, and the pictures came out quite well. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Did you get any usable pictures out of MILA on that first pass?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Not that we've seen. We had word on the voice loop that MILA reported that they had gotten a minute's worth of TV signal, and Goldstone reported that they had gotten about a minute's worth of modulation but that they weren't able to get anything off of it.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Okay. We have another input here, 11, that the MILA data was recognizable as a picture, but we don't have any evaluation as to the quality of the picture. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

And for our information, we've been watching a PCO2 again. Did you change a lithium hydroxide canister this morning? Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Yes. We did, and we've been seeing 1.7 percent in the spacecraft ever since.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. That agrees with our data.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Houston, Apollo 11. We're starting our maneuver to PTC attitude.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. From a propellant-balancing standpoint, we recommend that you use quads Alfa and Bravo to start the PTC maneuvers. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. Understand Alfa and Bravo.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. For CRYO-balancing purposes, we'd like you to turn the heater and oxygen tank number 1 off at this time. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Everything else in the CRYO system remains the same.
