Spacelog Apollo 11

Roger.

Do you copy those angles, Houston—torquing angles?

Roger. They're correct. You can torque. Over.

Apollo 11, Houston. We have about 4 minutes LOS. That makes AOS 98 18. Over.

Eagle. Roger.

Columbia. Roger.

Eagle, Columbia.

Columbia, Eagle. Go ahead.

Roger. The capture latch is in the probe or engaged in the drogue. Would you like to set them from your side?

Roger. Stand by.

Houston, Eagle. ED battery A is 37.0 and battery B is 36.9. Over.

Roger. Copy both of those, Buzz. Out.

Eagle, Houston. We looked at the E memory. It's GO. Over.

Roger. E memory GO.

Mike, the capture latches look good.

Thank you.

Eagle, Houston. We'd like you to go to the OMNI antenna, and next AOS, we'd like you to be in forward. Over.

Roger. Going to—which OMNI do you want now, aft?

Eagle, Houston. We'd like aft now and forward at AOS. Over.

Roger.

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

Columbia, Houston. Do you read? Over.

Eagle, Houston. Do you read? Over.

Columbia, Houston. Over.

Eagle, Houston. No voice. Will you verify forward OMNI? Over.

Columbia, Houston. We have no voice with Eagle. Would you please verify that Eagle is on forward OMNI. Over.

Columbia, Houston. Over.

Eagle, Houston. Over.

Houston, Eagle. Go ahead.

Roger. Are you reading me, Buzz? Over.

Roger. I've got you now. I fed in those angles for the S band but I couldn't get a lockon because the antenna would be looking through the LM in order to reach the Earth. Over.

Roger. We copied in the P22 attitude that you will not be able to get a high gain lockon. We have a DAP data load, if you're ready to copy. Over.

Roger. Ready to copy.

Okay. LM weight 33627, CSM weight 36651, pitch trim 00470, roll trim 00589. Over.

Roger. LM weight 33627, CSM weight 36651, pitch trim 00470, roll trim 00589. Over.

Roger, Buzz. That's a good readback. You're about two by with these OMNI's in this configuration; we won't have very good COMM until we get through with the P22. Over.

Roger. Understand.

Eagle, Houston. Would you select S band voice to VOICE. Over.

Houston, Columbia. Downvoice backup. Do you read?

Roger. We read you. Columbia, did you call? Over.

Affirmative. Downvoice backup. How do you read me?

Roger. Better, Mike. We're reading you now about four by. No voice at all with you earlier. Let's stay in this configuration. Eagle, are you in VOICE mode? Over.

Roger. Eagle is in VOICE mode. How do you read? Over.

Roger. You're about three by now, Buzz. We're satisfied with this COMM configuration. Let's stay with where we are. Over.

Houston, Columbia is in OMNI Charlie downvoice backup, and if you get a chance, would you look up the coordinates of 130 for me, please? I have been—conflicting information between my cue card and my flight plan. I'd like to know which coordinate values you want me to use.

I have the coordinates loaded on the cue card which are for crater 130.

Columbia, Houston. We made an error on those coordinates. We'd like you to load for latitude in a NOUN 89 plus 01 243, longitude over 2 plus 11 844, altitude minus 001 46 as shown in the flight plan. Over.

Okay, Houston.

Eagle, Houston. Could you give us an idea where you are in the activation? Over.

Roger. We're just sitting around waiting for something to do. We need a state vector, a REFSMMAT, a reading on the AGS. And we need you to watch our DAP load, give a voice check, and throttle check. Over.

Roger. Eagle, we'll have the state vectors and the REFSMMAT as soon as we get the high gain. Over. It will be about another 10 minutes or so before we get through the P22, and when we maneuver to attitude and get the high gain, we'll have the updates for you. Over.

Roger. We'll go ahead with the DAP and throttle … check if you don't have the gimble drive check, okay?

Roger. Understand you're going to the DAP throttle check. That's affirmative.

Houston, Columbia. These T1 and T2 times are still good, aren't they?

Say again. Over.

I say the T1 and T2 times remain unchanged, don't they?

That's affirmative. Over.

Houston, Eagle.

Go ahead, Eagle. Over.

Roger. In the first of—on page 47, step 1, we had the guidance control in PGNS and mode control PGNS AUTO and, of course, the circuit breakers are not in on the thrusters yet. So when we started through the DAP and proceeded on NOUN 46—and we're looking at NOUN 47 now, so we've got an RCS TTA light and we've got four out of the eight other bright colored red flags. I think that this is explained by the fact that we are in PGNS and AUTO and unable to fire the thrusters.

Roger. Stand by.

Eagle, Houston. You are correct. The lights are there and the flags because we haven't closed the breakers yet. Over.

Roger.

And Houston, Eagle. Are you going to use the high gain before you can look at our GDA position indicator?

Stand by.

Eagle, Houston. We can see all the throttle data —

I can give high …

Go ahead. Over.

I could give you high bit rate on the OMNI if that would help any.

Negative. We have all the throttle data we need. You can stay low bit rate. You can proceed through the throttle test, but do not do the gimbal trim. Over. Repeat, do not do the gimbal trim.

Roger. Understand.

Boy, you just can't miss those check points, Diamondback and Sidewinder.

AUTO optics are pointed just a little bit north of crater 130.

Roger. Copy, Columbia, Out.

…

Houston, Eagle. We are ready to pressurize the RCS. Over.

Stand by.

Eagle, Houston. You can go ahead with your RCS pressurization, but we would like to hold off on RCS checkout until we get the high bit rate. Over.

Roger.

And Eagle, Houston. Have you deployed the landing gear yet? Over.

That's affirmative. The landing gear is out and …

Roger.

Houston, Columbia. I've completed my marks. I've gone ACCEL COMMAND in all three axes to prevent that thruster firing that last time.

Roger.

Houston, Columbia. Say again on the necessary data on the downlink. Let me know and I'll proceed.

Columbia, stand by on the NOUN 49. Over.

Standing by, Houston.

Columbia, Houston. We got your NOUN 49; you can proceed. Over.

Roger.

Colum—correction, Eagle, Houston. We see the MASTER ARM, you can go ahead and press. We see the press now. Over.

Roger. Looks good.

Roger, Buzz. If you've got—would like, I've got your AGS abort constants. Over.

Ready to copy.
