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.

And all looked good up here.

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.

Okay, Charlie. We're in the LM. The docking index mark is the same.

Roger. We copy.

Charlie, apparently there just doesn't seem to be any slow way to get that REPRESS to AUTO without making a big bang.

Apollo 11, Houston. Say again. Over.

Roger. There just doesn't seem to be any slow way to get the REPRESS closed to AUTO and avoid a big bang. Over.

We copy, Buzz. Thank you much. Out.

We concur with that, Buzz.

Apollo 11, Houston. We'll have LOS 81 45, next AOS—Stand by.

Next AOS 82 32. Over.

Okay. 82 32.

Houston, Apollo 11. I am going to start a maneuver to P22 attitude at this time.

11. Roger. We copy. Over.

Okay. We're noticing some water inside the command module for the first time. There's a little puddle of it on the aft bulkhead sort of like 101 had.

Roger.

I'd like to know how EECOMM wants to get rid of it. There are a number of different ways and what does he think is the best one?

We'll be with you in a moment, Mike. Stand by.

No big rush. It will wait until the next REV or two.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We've played back the LOI 2 burn. It looks really good to us. The systems were all good. We got an orbit on the limited amount of tracking at 65.4 by a 53.9. Over.

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

Okay, Houston. We'll be done with P22 in just a couple of minutes.

Houston, Apollo 11.

Go ahead.

Roger. You copy that NOUN 49 on your downlink? If you've had enough time, I'll proceed.

Apollo 11, Houston. We see a NOUN 89. You can do the VERB 34 now. Over. Beat me to it.

Yes. I've done it, Charlie.

Roger.

Houston, Apollo 11.

Go ahead, 11. Over.

All that procedure for P22 seemed to work very well. The only thing that was a little odd, is that there was some DAP thruster activity. I had pitch in ACCEL COMMAND, and roll and yaw in RATE COMMAND, and somehow, roll and yaw got excited and the DAP went into a flurry of thruster firing. We've noticed the same thing in the CMS, and just written it off as a CMS peculiarity.

Roger. We saw that activity, Mike. We'll see if we can track it down and let you know. Over.

Okay.

Apollo 11, Houston. You can proceed to sleep attitude now. Over.

That's in work, Houston.

Okay.

Houston, we're holding inertial a little while to study the approach to the landing zone.

Houston, this is Apollo … in the Eagle—Apollo 11 in the Eagle. I've got … for our landing area.

Apollo 11, Houston. You are breaking up badly. Say again. Over.

Roger. I can see the entire landing area from the position I'm in looking out the left window in the LM.

Roger, Buzz. Understand you can see the entire landing area looking out the LM windows. Over.

That's right.
