Spacelog Apollo 11

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

Roger. Go ahead. Over.

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

Go ahead. Over.

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.

Roger. Stand by.

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

Roger. All four AUTO, all four fans off.

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.

Okay. That sounds fine, Charlie. Thanks.

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

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.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Over.

Houston, Apollo 11.

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.

Okay. Thank you.

Roger.

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

Good morning, Houston. Apollo 11.

Good morning, Apollo 11.

… nice sleep. Be getting around to the …

How's everything look up here from the ground?

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

Roger. How do all our systems look?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That's the best kind, Bruce.

(Laughter) Okay.

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.

Apollo 11.

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.

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

Say again, please. You're cutting out.

Roger. —

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

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

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

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