Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Okay. We understand. Thank you.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, this is Houston. We would like you to terminate charging on battery A at GET 30 plus 15. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Okay. 30 plus 15 for battery A charge terminate.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. If you're free for a minute, I've got some updates to the P37 PAD's that we passed up to you yesterday afternoon, I guess. As a result of doing midcourse correction number 2, the DELTA-V required in the TLI plus 35, 44, and 53 PAD's have changed slightly. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Roger. Standing by to copy.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Okay. TLI plus 35 PAD: the DELTA-VT should be 7992 instead of 8016. TLI plus 44—It should be 6112 instead of 6141. And TLI plus 53—It should be 8172 instead of 8209. Read back. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Roger. Understand. 7992, 6112, 8172. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. Readback correct. Out.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, this is Houston. Goldstone reports they are receiving a TV picture coming down from you all, a little snowy, but a good TV picture. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Roger. We're just testing the equipment up here.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Ask them if they can read the numbers.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Goldstone, this is Houston CAP COMM. Over.

CommTech

Houston CAP COMM, Goldstone M&O. Go ahead.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. Stand by a minute, Goldstone.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, this is Houston. What numbers are you referring to? Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Well, I guess if they can't see any numbers, why, it's kind of a lost cause.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Negative. Standby. We wanted to know —

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

We wanted to know what numbers before we asked them.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Okay. I'm showing them the DSKY, and I'd like to know whether they can read what's showing on the DSKY, and also whether they can see P-R-O-G, V-E-R-B, and N-O-U-N. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Goldstone M&O, Houston CAP COMM. Over.

CommTech

CAP COMM, Goldstone. Go ahead.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. Did you copy the spacecraft request?

CommTech

That's affirmative. I am reading the numbers on our monitor here.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Okay, that's—Roger. That's both the numbers on the DSKY itself, and the little words like PROGRAM and VERB, NOUN, COMPUTER ACTIVITY, things of this sort?

CommTech

Roger. I can read the numbers clearly. We can't distinguish what the words are, because it is a little snowy.

CommTech

Okay. I read VERB, NOUN, and PROGRAM.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. Do you see—Over in the lefthand corner, there's a big square one that says COMPUTER ACTIVITY, COMP ACTIVITY?

CommTech

Roger. I see a flash occasionally in that area.

CommTech

Okay. It looks like he's moved the camera at this time.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, this is Houston. Goldstone M&O reports that they can read the numbers on the DSKY. They can also read VERB, NOUN, PROGRAM, and see the COMP ACTIVITY light flashing. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

And they also report you appear to have panned the camera over to another location now.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Yes, we're going to work on something else.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

That's me. How are you there?
