Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. Are you ready to copy some numbers on the status report, et cetera?

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. Radiation CDR 11005, CMP 10006, LMP 09007; medication negative. And I got some battery and RCS numbers for you.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Go ahead. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Battery C 37.1, PYRO battery A and B both 37.1. RCS Alfa 82, Bravo 84, Cocoa 85, Delta 87. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger, we copy. Radiation 11005, 10006, 09007; no medication; 37.1, 37.1, 37.1, 82, 84, 85, 87. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

That's affirmative. And you want a LM/CM DELTA-V? It's 1.1.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Please verify that four CRYO heaters AUTO, the four fans off. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. We have been holding the O2 heater number 1 in the OFF position. I believe that was your last instruction. All the other heaters are AUTO and all fans are off. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

11, Houston. We would like all heaters AUTO. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. All four AUTO, all four fans off.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. As the Sun sinks slowly in the west, the White Team bids you good night. If we get a story on the seven-tenths, we can give it to you in about 15 minutes or so; if not, we'll give it to you in the morning. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay. That sounds fine, Charlie. Thanks.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Hey, you earned your pay today, Charlie. Thank you.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. One request: the optics switch to zero. And we've got a lot of theories on why it maneuvered at seven-tenths a moment ago, Mike, but no real definite answer. We'll be back with you later. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay. No rush, Charlie. Thank you.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. Mike, I think we can explain that seven-tenths rate. When we—the first time through, you know, we failed to go through the VERB 49, so we had a large error between our actual CDU and desired CDU in roll. And with that situation, the DAP—the vehicle will roll—will maneuver, rather, at a rate that is loaded in, which was three-tenths plus four-tenths rate, and it will limit at four-tenths above the desired rate, so—that is if we have a large enough angle between the desired and the actual, which we did. So, therefore, the rate was four tenths plus three tenths to give you the seven tenths. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Good morning, Houston. Apollo 11.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

… nice sleep. Be getting around to the …

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

How's everything look up here from the ground?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Roger. Say again, please.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. How do all our systems look?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. They're looking great, and as far as we can tell everything is good from down here. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. Looks like the attitude held up real well during PTC last night.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Yes, it did. We were showing you remaining well within a circle of 10 degrees radius throughout the night. Seems to be working beautifully.

Michael Collins (CMP)

How's the old Green Team this morning? Did you have a quiet night?

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Yes. It was a very quiet night. Down here the old Black Team is complaining they didn't get a chance to make any transmissions. Ron Evans is getting

Michael Collins (CMP)

Well, we'll be seeing them tomorrow, I guess.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Yes. Ron's getting to be known as the silent CAP COMM.

Michael Collins (CMP)

That's the best kind, Bruce.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

When you feel up to copying, 11, I've got a couple of small items in the way of a flight plan update and your morning consumables update. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger, 11. We'd like to perform a waste-water dump at your convenience some time in the near future here. No particular time scheduled. Down air at the time for midcourse correction 3, which is about 53 55, we're deleting midcourse correction number 3 and all the items associated with it. For your information, the calculated value of the burn for midcourse number 3 was eight tenths of a foot per second, that is 0.8 feet per second. Canceling this, if we decide to burn midcourse correction 4, this would then give you a burn for midcourse correction 4 of 2.0 feet per second. At 53 hours we have an IMU realign P52. We're requesting that you do this while in PTC, and we plan to continue PTC throughout the day. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

- then we'll get to the waste-water dump —

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Say again, please. You're cutting out.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

11, this is Houston. Stand by a minute, please. We're having difficulty receiving you.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Radio check. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger, Houston. Read you loud and clear. How me? Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. Reading you the same. We did a minor reconfiguration down here. Stand by. Out.
