Spacelog Apollo 11

Apollo 11, Houston. Say again. Over.

Apollo 11, Houston. We got a lot of noise on the downlink. Would you please try your high gain in wide beamwidth, and the angles are 180 the yaw and pitch zero. Over.

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

Roger, Mike. You're a lot better now. Over.

Okay. You want a wide beam for some reason?

That's affirmative. We got you in the shadows, though. You are looking right down along the engine bell towards the Earth so we need you in wide beam. Over.

Okay. Fine. We're starting our maneuvers to sleep attitude. Roll 82, pitch 229, yaw zero.

Houston, 11.

Go ahead, 11. Over.

Okay. We are on page activation 12 and 13, step 4, and verify descent talkbacks gray, and they're barberpole.

Roger. Stand by.

Apollo 11, Houston. We would like you to take the low voltage taps OFF; RESET, then ON. Over.

Stand by. We got it. We just had one circuit breaker out of position.

Okay.

We have them gray now.

… should have warmed up by now.

Oh, he's transmitting on B.

Hey, Mike, you transmitting on B?

Houston, Apollo 11—Apollo 11/Eagle. Over.

Roger, Eagle. This is Houston. We read you. Over.

Roger. I read you about four by four. Could you give me a short count, please?

Roger, Eagle. Coming in with the short count—1, 2, 3, 4, 5; 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Houston out. Over.

Roger. Are you copying my low bit rate? Over.

Roger. We got some beautiful data here, Eagle. We're—All those guys are looking at it—systems guys. We'll have some word for you in a minute how everything looks.

Roger. I'm all ready to switch to high bit rate if that's okay with you.

Would you please stand by, Eagle. We want to get to the proper sleep attitude before we proceed on with the COMM check. Over.

Standing by.

Houston, Eagle. We'll go ahead with the camera checkout. I'm still on low taps, and I assume there's no problem doing that. Over.

Stand by.

That's affirmative. No problem on that, Eagle. You can go ahead and power up the sequence camera. Over.

Should have done that before.

Eagle, be advised—sounds like a hot mike. Over.

Right. Yes.

Roger. If you're reading me now, I am in hot mike because I'm in ICS push to talk, and DOWNVOICE BACKUP. Over.

Roger. We just wanted to remind you. Over.

Thank you.

Columbia, this is Houston. Are you maneuvering to sleep attitude? Over.

Eagle, this is Houston. We have lost all the voice and data with Columbia. Would you see if he is maneuvering to sleep attitude? Over.

Hey, Mike. You maneuvering to sleep attitude?

…

I don't believe they can hear you, Mike. Are you maneuvering now to sleep attitude?

…

Houston, Eagle. The Columbia has maneuvered to sleep attitude. He's got the high gain antennas—antenna angles set in, and he should be communicating with you. Over.

Roger. We don't have him. Stand by.

Eagle, Houston. Would you please have Columbia put in COMMAND RESET? Over.

Wilco. COMMAND RESET.

Eagle, Houston. Since we're in sleep attitude, I'll give you another long count. If you're reading in this mode, we'd like you to switch to high bit rate. Over.
