Spacelog Apollo 11

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

Okay. 30 plus 15 for battery A charge terminate.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston.

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.

Roger. Standing by to copy.

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.

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

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston.

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.

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

Roger.

Ask them if they can read the numbers.

Okay. Stand by.

Goldstone, this is Houston CAP COMM. Over.

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

Roger. Stand by a minute, Goldstone.

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

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

Negative. Standby. We wanted to know —

…

We wanted to know what numbers before we asked them.

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.

Roger. Stand by a second.

Goldstone M&O, Houston CAP COMM. Over.

CAP COMM, Goldstone. Go ahead.

Roger. Did you copy the spacecraft request?

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

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?

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

Roger.

Okay. I read VERB, NOUN, and PROGRAM.

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

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.

Very good. Thank you.

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

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

Houston, Apollo 11.

Go ahead, 11.

Oh, Charlie. That you?

That's me. How are you there?
