Spacelog Apollo 11

Roger. We just wanted to make sure that we were ready when you were ready. Over.

Okay. And to get the sextant star in LOI 2, that's roll zero. Is that affirmative?

That's affirmative. Roll zero.

Apollo 11, Houston. Five minutes until LOS. And with respect to your request for the nitrogen bottle pressures preburn, just before the burn, we were showing 2270 pounds per square inch on bottle Alfa and 2350 on bottle Bravo. Over.

Apollo 11. Roger. Thank you.

Apollo 11, this is Houston. Two minutes to LOS. Your AOS on the other side is 80 33 21, and the friendly White Team will see you when you come out from behind the Moon.

Apollo 11. Roger.

Thank you, Bruce.

Make that your friendly “Greens”. Your friendly White Team CAP COMM will see you when you come out from behind the Moon. I think it's basically the Maroon Team here, and we “Greenies” are leaving.

Okay. I don't blame you, Hank.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We're standing by. Over.

VGY minus 0.0, VGZ minus 0.1, DELTA-VC minus 5.2, fuel 362, OX 364, unbalance plus 50, and our postburn now 94's, 66.1 by 54.4. Go ahead.

Roger. We copy, Neil. Would you say again the DELTA-VZ? We missed that. Over.

Roger. That was minus 0.1.

Roger. Copy the burn report. Sounds good.

Apollo 11, Houston. We missed your DELTA-TIG and also your DELTA burn time. Over.

DELTA-TIG was zero and the burn time was 17 seconds.

Copy 17.

Apollo 11, Houston. We'll be satisfied if you pump up the cabin to 5.4. Over.

Okay. We're showing about 5.2 right now.

Roger.

And, Charlie, the LM/CM DELTA-P is just over 1 pound right now.

Apollo 11, Houston. Over.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Over.

Apollo 11, Houston. If you read, please attempt to acquire on the high gain. We're having trouble locking up on the TM and we have no voice. Over.

Hello, Apollo 11, Apollo 11.

Roger.

Roger. We're reading you five by. Go ahead. Over.

Roger. We have you on high gain now.

Roger. We lost the TM and the voice for about 5 minutes here. We attempted a handover and fouled it up in some manner, but we got you back now. Thank you much.

Okay. We're pressurizing the LM at this time.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We have a P22 AUTO optics update for you if you're ready to copy. Over.

Ready to copy.

Roger, Mike. It's landmark Alfa 1: T1, 82 37 35; T2, 82 42 50. We're 7 miles north. Over.

Copy. P22: T1, time 82 37 35; T2, 82 42 50. And the target is 7 miles north. Thank you.

I get the distinct impression, Charlie, that mare there laps up over the edge of the mountains at the shorelines.

Roger. We copy.

Houston. On your comment about the mare lapping up to the terrain—mountainous terrain, is that an impression like a lava flow coming in around a prominence, Neil, or is it more -looks like it's sloping up at that point? Over.

It isn't true everywhere, but there's certainly places where there seems to be a slope downward towards the shoreline on the mare. In other words, from the mare down to the shoreline is a downward slope indicating that it might be a lava flow.

Roger.

Crossing Duke Island and Maskelyne W.

Say again, Neil. Over.

We just crossed Duke Island and Maskelyne W.
