Spacelog Apollo 11

11, this is Houston. We're showing you —

The Czar is brushing his teeth, so I'm filling in for him.

Say again, please.

I said the Czar is brushing his teeth, so I'm filling in for him. What can we do for you?

Roger. If you don't get in the way of the Czar while he's brushing his teeth, we'd like you to bring up the primary accumulator quantity a little bit. We're showing the quantity now at 20.6 percent on TM. Seems to have gone down a bit since you've gone into the shadow. We'd like it serviced to bring the quantity up to between 30 and 40 percent, preferable 35 percent. Over.

Okay.

The computer is yours, 11. The loads are in and verified. You can go back to BLOCK.

11, this is Houston. On the basis of your last P52 alignment, the platform looks like it's indeed performing very well. No problems there, no updates required, and no PIPA bias update is required either. Over.

Houston, Apollo 11. Radio check.

11, this is Houston. Loud and clear. Over.

Okay. Just checking. Do you want high gain?

Roger. If you can give it to us.

Okay.

Houston, Apollo 11. How do you read on the high gain?

Loud and clear on the high gain.

Same here. We've completed the P52 option 1.

Roger. We've been looking over your shoulder by TM.

Houston, Apollo 11. Standing by to copy TEI 1 and TEI 4. Over.

Roger. I've got the 1 and 4 PAD's here, right now. I'll be ready to read them up to you in just a second.

11, this is Houston. I'm ready with the TEI 1 and 4 PAD's. Over.

Ready to copy.

Roger. TEI 1, SPS G&N: 38658, minus 054, plus 065, 078 02 0345, plus 29180, plus 03779, minus 01325; roll NA, pitch 041; two jets, 19 seconds, undocked. TEI 4: 38658, minus 054, plus 065, 084 29 5059, plus 31373, plus 03760, minus 00968; roll NA, pitch 034; two jets, 19 seconds, undocked; assumes no LOI-2.

11, this is Houston —

— Apollo 11. Over.

— 11, this is Houston. Readback correct. Out.

11, this is Houston. Over.

Roger. Go ahead, Houston.

Roger. At GET of 74 30, we'd like you to cycle the fans in all four CRYO tanks and position the heaters in all four CRYO tanks to the AUTO position. We're doing this in advance of LOI in order to insure that you don't have any destratification as a result of the burn, which might result in giving you a master caution and warning during the burn. Over.

Okay. Was that 74 30? You want us to cycle the heaters and turn—cycle the fans and turn all the heaters on.

All the heaters to AUTO; cycle the fans at 74 30, about 25 minutes from now. Over.

11, this is Houston. Radio check. Over.

Houston, 11.

Roger. Loud and clear now.

Houston, Apollo 11.

Go ahead, 11.

Apparently this is not a very good OMNI attitude for you. We're ready to start our PTC check.

11, this is Houston. We're ready, except that we'd like to get the high gain antenna prior to this test. Over.

Can you give us a couple of pointing angles?

Roger. From an attitude with 60 degrees roll, around to an attitude of roll 058 inertial. It would be pitch plus 30 and yaw 270 on the high gain antenna.

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

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

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Do you read? Over.

Say again please, 11.

Roger. We put the wrong sign in —

Roger.

— for the roll correction to get MSFN high gain, and we're continuing rolling around to get the proper attitude for high gain at this time. We will delete the pitch maneuver that was scheduled subsequent to—subsequent to the TV check since we already have those pictures.

Roger. We copy. And we recommend that you go ahead and complete your TVC test on board. If you have problems, we'll talk to you when you get around further into the high gain antenna attitude. Over.

Houston, how do you read on high gain?

Oh, loud and clear on high gain, 11.

Roger. We're proceeding.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. We observed your gimbal test down here, and it looked good to us. Over.

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

Loud and clear.

Roger. And your systems are looking good from down here.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Over.

Roger. Go ahead Houston, Apollo 11.

11, this is Houston. You are GO for LOI. Over.

Roger. GO for LOI.

And we're showing about 10 minutes and 30 seconds to LOS. I would like to remind you to enable the BD roll on the AUTO RCS switches. Over.

Roger. And confirm you want PCM low going over the hill. Over.

That's affirmative, 11.

Roger.

If you want to, I'll put it back to high until just before LOS. Over.

Negative, 11. Low is okay for now. Over.

Houston, do you want to give me a time check, please?

Roger. I'll give you a Mark at 13 minutes and 30 seconds to ignition.

Okay. And then a GET, please.

Stand by a minute.

Okay.

I'll give you a time hack on the GET at 75 hours 37 minutes and I'll try that bias at about a second and a half to allow for the time of flight.

Okay.

Stand by.

MARK.

75 hours 37 minutes GET.

Thank you.

And I'll give you a time hack on time to ignition at 12 minutes to ignition. Over.

Okay.

Stand by for a Mark at TIG minus 12.

MARK.

TIG minus 12.

You were right on, Bruce. Thank you.

Roger. Out.

Two minutes to LOS.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. All your systems are looking good going around the corner, and we'll see you on the other side. Over.

Roger.

Everything looks okay up here.
