Spacelog Apollo 11

We've got a little more work to do up here, Charlie. We're going to make sure that we have everything transferred around and stowed the way we want it and try to get a little bit ahead on tomorrow's timeline. I suppose that we could be out of there in another half hour or so if it was necessary.

Roger, Neil. We're not trying to push you. We're just trying to get an idea of—about water dumps and starting up the PTC again. Take your sweet time. Over.

Okay. We'd like to get a flight plan update from you for the next couple of hours, here. When you think what the various constraints might be and what—what order you might like us to do things.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Mike, we'd like to go ahead and do a waste-water dump. We'd like you to dump it all the way down to zero. Over.

Roger. We copy that, Charlie.

How does that work, Charlie?

Houston, 11.

11, Houston. Did you call? Over.

Roger. Just noticed that the mast that the EVA light is on is charred brown. It looks as though it took quite a beating during launch.

Roger.

The EVA light still does work.

Roger. We'll let this—the SPAN guys look at this, and we'll be back with you with what we think. Over.

Okay.

11, Houston. We were wondering, Neil, with your closing comment on the TV, if you were going to turn it off. It indicated that you might be considering turning it back on. We were wondering whether we want to keep the lines up. Over.

Well, we want your recommendation on that, but I think we would just as soon, ourselves, terminate the TV. But if you have a commitment to keep, we'd be more than willing to turn it back on.

Roger. Stand by.

Apollo 11, Houston. We'd like to terminate the TV. We don't—We think we got a really—a good tape. That hour and a half show was superb. And we'd like to pick up TV—correction—PTC at about 58 hours. Over.

Roger. PTC at 58 hours.

And we'll have the remaining functions in the flight plan soon. Over.

Apollo 11, Houston. Our recommendations on the activities for the next hour or so, as far as flight plan goes, are: Continue your LM familiarization as desired until about 58 hours, then ingress to the CSM, close the hatch, and establish PTC shortly thereafter. Over.

And, Apollo 11, Houston. Terminate the —

Okay.

— the water dump. Over.

Okay, Charlie. Thank you.

Houston, Apollo 11.

11, Houston. Go ahead.

Roger, Houston. I'd like to do a P52 option 3 and tweak the platform up prior to starting the PTC. Over.

Roger, 11. Stand by.

11, Houston. That sounds like a good idea to us. Go ahead.

Okay. And the platform's looking pretty good to me. It looks like the worst axis drift is 0.01 something degrees per hour. Is that about what you figure?

11, Roger. We've had reports all the marks have been good all the—the last couple of times you've run them. Just a moment; I'll get you some information on the apparent drift rate.

Okay, Owen. Thank you. You got the maroons on?

Say again, 11.

I say you got the maroons on now?

Not permanently, Mike. Just have a stand-by here while Charlie's out checking how to use that special tool on the camera. The maroon team will be on tomorrow.

Okay. Nice to hear your voice. How's everything going?

Everything's going smoothly here. We sure enjoyed the show this afternoon, Mike.

Okay.

11, Houston. We suggest you go ahead and do the P52 first, and we'll take a look at the angles and give you some new drift rates after taking a look at them. Over.

Apollo 11, Houston. Over.

Go ahead. 11, here.

11, Houston. A little information to you there, CDR. We've all taken a momentary brief respite from out work here to have some special—to have a bite of special moon cheese that is—I understand it's been sent to us directly from Wapakoneta, your own hometown. Over.

No, we can't—we can't pronounce it either. I think you'll enjoy that. They make a fine brand of cheese.

Roger, there, and I'll polish up the grammar for the next trip.

Houston, 11. You are looking at the NOUN 93, and I'll proceed when you copy them.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We'd like for you to stir up the CRYO's now. Over.

Houston, Apollo 11. We're completed in the LM. We're closing up the hatches and the probe and drogue back in.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We're standing by to watch your startup on the PTC at any time. You can start off at the VERB 49. Over.

Wilco. We're just finishing up the probe and about to close up the hatch here. We're going to be a couple of minutes late, probably, getting started in the PTC.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Mike, there's no wait required. Where rates are steady, you can proceed on. Over.

I'm doing it, Charlie.

Roger.

The tunnel's all taken care of, the drogue, probe, and hatch all back.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We have some new additions to your alternate contingency checklist if you would break that out. Over.

Stand by.

Okay, Houston. 11's ready to copy.

Roger, 11. If you'll turn to page F2-22. Over

Okay. I have F2-22.

Roger, Neil. Under column 1—that's column Lima, line 06. The new data is 00001. Line 07, the new data is 02134. Over.

Okay. I have in F2-22, column Lima, item 6, 00001; item 7, 02134.

Roger. That's correct. Thank you much. Out.

11, Houston. For your information, those two entries are an update to your DELTA-H that we have already uplinked into the CMC. Over.

Roger. Thank you.

What was I marking on, Charlie? About an 18-kilometer line, or what?

We—Our update puts you to—the DELTA-H to 35 kilometers, Mike. Over.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We've got some switch positions for you for the high gain. Over.

Okay. Go ahead.

Roger, Buzz. Select Bravo, OMNI, HIGH-GAIN TRACK to MANUAL; BEAM, WIDE. Over.

Okay. Bravo, OMNI; TRACK, MANUAL; and BEAM, WIDE.

Roger. And your high-gain angles are minus 50 on the pitch, 270 on the yaw. Over.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We have some updates and some things we'd like to talk to you about, if you aren't in the middle of your meal. If it's convenient anytime for you, we're ready with some updates. Over.

What—What are the updates going to apply to?

Roger. We have a couple of changes on the LM mission rules NO GO for your NO GO card, Neil. One slight change on the APS/DPS fuel and TEMP pressure card, and we have a change to the procedure for the secondary radiator leak check, which is to be formed at—performed at 71 hours tomorrow, and also some indications that we have a couple of landing site obliques stowed in the wrong place. Over.

Okay. Is any of those in the flight plan? The secondary radiator, for example?

That's affirmative. The secondary radiator leak check is called out in the flight plan at 71 20. That procedure is listed in your launch operations book on page 2 9, L2 9. We'd like to change that procedure. Over.

Okay. Stand by.

Charlie, on the secondary leak check, just read it verbatim like you want, and I'll copy directly into the flight plan and not fool around with the checklist.

Roger. That's fine. If you're ready to copy, stand by.

Ready to copy on the leak check.

Roger. It's monitor secondary accumulator quantity. Step 2 is secondary glycol to radiator valve, NORMAL for 30 seconds, then BYPASS. If no decrease in secondary accumulator quantity—Are you with me?

Yes, I'm with you.

Okay. If no decrease in secondary accumulator quantity, secondary glycol to radiator valve to NORMAL. Next step, secondary coolant loop pump, AC 1 or AC 2. After 3 minutes, verify glycol discharge secondary pressure 39 to 51 psig. Also verify secondary EVAP out TEMP has changed. Next step, secondary coolant loop pump, OFF. Secondary glycol to radiator valve, BYPASS. That ends the procedure. Over.
