Spacelog Apollo 11

Right —

I think they're just getting to be a good team in the clinch.

They certainly seem to be.

Well, if they can do that well without a roof, think of what they're going to do with a roof.

Roger. Out.

We're trying.

An old Oiler fan is trying to comment on an alien game.

You tell Michael Jr., history or no history, he'd better behave himself.

Apollo 11, Houston. If it's convenient with you, we have an LOI 1 PAD that we can pass up to you now. Over.

Stand by.

Houston, Apollo 11. The next time we pass through roll 0, we're going to stop PTC and that will give us 90 degrees pitch. Now, I understand you want us to move from 90 degrees pitch to 0 degrees pitch for the platform align, option 1. Is that affirmative?

Standby, please.

And we are ready to copy on the LOI 1.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. When you stop at 0 roll, you will be in approximately 90 pitch, 0 yaw, and 0 roll. We'd like you to run the first P52, that is, the P52 option 3, from that attitude. Then we'll uplink you a new REFSMMAT, either before or while you are maneuvering to 000, and then you can torque the platform around and run the second REFSMMAT. Over. Run the second P52. Over.

Okay.

And I copied you are ready for the LOI 1 pad. Over.

Go ahead.

Roger. LOI 1, SPS G&N: 62710, plus 098, minus 019, 075 49 4965, minus 28897, minus 03944, minus 00686; 358 226 347; 01692, plus 00610; 29173 602 29108; 31 106.6 358. GDC align Vega and Deneb 243 183 012. No ullage. Horizon in the hatch window 2 minutes before TIG. AOS with an LOI 76 15 29. AOS without an LOI 76 05 30. HA before the burn 431.3, HP minus 128.2. Say again LOS time.

Roger. LOS time 75 41 23. Over.

Understand 75 41 23.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Go ahead.

Roger. Apparently we missed getting your onboard readouts on battery Charlie and PYRO batteries Alfa and Bravo last night. I wonder if you could give us some fresh numbers. Over.

You want the readings now?

Yes, please. If it's convenient for you.

Okay. All three of them are still 37.1.

Houston, Apollo 11. The P52 option 3 is complete. We're maneuvering to 000.

Roger. We observe your maneuvering, and we'll have some uplinks for you in a couple of minutes here.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. We observe you're in P00. If you'll give us ACCEPT, we'll start our uplinks.

Go ahead, Houston.

Roger. We're on low bit rate at the present time so it's going to take us a little bit longer than normal to get this stuff up to you. Over.

I guess we're in no rush.

Okay. We're here if you're there.

The view of the Moon that we've been having recently is really spectacular. It fills about three quarters of the hatch window, and of course, we can see the entire circumference, even though part of it is in complete shadow and part of it's in earthshine. It's a view worth the price of the trip.

Well, there are a lot of us down here that would be willing to come along.

I hope you get your turn, and soon.

One of these days, we'll be able to bring the whole MOCR along, I hope. Save a lot of antenna switching.

Say again, 11.

One of these days, we could bring the whole MOCH along, and then that'll save a lot of antenna switching.

That's jolly.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston.
