Spacelog Apollo 11

EECOMM's say they'd like to look at valve positions. Over.

Okay. Well, we're holding steady now at 0.3 pound per hour, and our cabin pressure is about 54; and I'll close the valve momentarily and then open it again to this position and tell you how much travel is required.

Roger.

It's about 30 degrees of travel, Charlie, from the closed position, which is with the arrow pointing at about three to three-thirty, four o'clock.

Roger.

Our flow is stabilized now at 0.6.

Roger. We copy. We're reading the same.

Okay.

Yes, open it back to the one o'clock position.

Roger.

Is that enough different positions, or you want more, Charlie?

Mike, that's good—good enough. We're satisfied now. Over.

Houston, Apollo 11. We've terminated direct O₂, our cabin pressure is 57, and, as a matter of curiosity, when we turn the DIRECT O₂ valve OFF, we get a master alarm just like they did in the spacecraft testing.

Roger.

11, Houston, we have a little update for you. When you go into the LM, we'd like you to unstow and bring back to the command module the following items. Over.

Ready to copy.

Roger. We'd like you to pick up the—out of the flight data file, the surface checklist, the mission rules NO-GO card, the DPS, APS, RCS limit cue card. Over.

Apollo 11, Houston. The reason we wanted you to bring those three items back, we'll have some updates for you, for those three. Over.

Apollo 11, Houston. We're getting the TV at Goldstone. We're not quite configured here at Houston for the transmission. We'll be up in a couple of minutes. Over.

Roger. This is just for free. This isn't what we had in mind.

Apollo 11, Houston. It's a pretty good show here. It looks like you almost got the probe out.

Yes, it's loose now.

Can you see that?

Roger, Neil. It's really good.

Not much light up in that area, but apparently the TV set's able to pick it up.

Mike must have done a smooth job in that docking. There isn't a dent or a mark on the probe.

Roger.

We're really getting a great picture here, 11. Over.

11, Houston. With a 12-foot cable, we estimate you should have about 5 to 6 feet excess when you get the camera into the LM. Over.

Roger.

We can see the probe now. Correction, the drogue.

Roger.

Okay. Drogue removal's coming next.

Roger. As we suspected.

11, Houston. Now it's a good view of the storage area under the couch.

11, Houston. Looks like you're pretty crowded in there with that drogue. Over.
