Spacelog Apollo 11

Roger. Big Bubba's watching.

And we're glad of it.

Boy, you guys have sure been doing a good job of watching us, Charlie. We appreciate it.

The spacecraft's been beautiful, 11. We've really no complaints at all. Looks—Things are really great.

Can you see this DSKY on the MDC?

That's affirmative. It appears that—can't quite tell what program … went P00. We see you punching in a VERB 35, I think it is. Over.

Yes. Might as well tell the EECOMM's—or tell the GNC and everybody to hold on to their hat and I'll push the EKTER button.

Roger.

Roger. We see a real display now.

That's a good demonstration of how the crew has the interface with the computer, talking to the programs and all that we have in the computer.

Well, that's right, Charlie. Sometimes it tells us things and sometimes we tell it things and mostly it talks to us.

11, Houston, We just lost our pic—I see we're going back outside now. Over.

…

11, Houston. We copy. Over.

Roger. We copy, and as we pan back out to the distance at which we see the Earth, well, it's Apollo 11 signing off.

Roger, Apollo 11. Thank you much for the show. It's a real good half hour. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. Out.

Okay. That's it, Charlie.

11, Houston. We appreciate the show. Thank you very much. Over.

Right.

Apollo 11, Houston. Would you key ERROR RESET on the DSKY, please? Over.

Okay. We should be straightened out now, Charlie, and back in P00.

Houston, Apollo 11. How do we stand on this O₂ fuel cell purge? You want to go ahead and do that as scheduled in the flight plan?

Stand by, 11. Over.

Okay. Fine.

While Buzz is doing that, I'll change the lithium hydroxide.

Hello, Apollo 11, Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston. Apollo 11.

Roger, Buzz. The attitude that we're in right now is a convenient one to start PTC in. We'd be satisfied with this attitude. So we'd like you to disable quads Charlie and Delta; and we'll wait about 5 to 10 minutes, and than we'll establish the PTC. Over.

Roger. Disable Charlie and Delta, and we'll wait before starting PTC.

Hello, Apollo 11, Houston. The rates are damped out well enough for you to initiate the PTC now. Over.

Houston, Apollo 11.

Roger. Go ahead.

Roger. This time the DAP didn't like 0.3. It's—We followed the procedures; we got down to 70 000 ENTER. It took off at about 0.7.

Roger. We're copying that. Stand by.

Houston, Apollo 11. Would you like high gain back?

Roger. And you—Would you select ATTITUDE HOLD? Over.

Houston. Would you say again what your request is?

Roger, 11. We'd like you to go back to ATTITUDE HOLD. Over.

Roger.

11, Houston. Looks like we're going to have to reinitialate—reinitialize this PTC.

All right.

Okay. Do you have any roll angle that you'd like to stop it in, Charlie? I haven't stopped it yet.

Stand by.

11, Houston. It's your preference. Right now if you want to. Over.
