Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Do you copy those angles, Houston—torquing angles?

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Columbia, Eagle. Go ahead.

Michael Collins (CMP)

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

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. Copy both of those, Buzz. Out.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Mike, the capture latches look good.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Apollo 11, Houston. Thirty seconds to LOS. Both spacecraft looking good going over the hill. Out.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Columbia, Houston. Do you read? Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. Do you read? Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Columbia, Houston. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Columbia, Houston. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Houston, Eagle. Go ahead.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. Are you reading me, Buzz? Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

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.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Michael Collins (CMP)

Houston, Columbia. Downvoice backup. Do you read?

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Michael Collins (CMP)

Affirmative. Downvoice backup. How do you read me?

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Michael Collins (CMP)

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.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Houston, Eagle. Completed gear extension okay.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Columbia, Houston. We're satisfied with what you already have loaded in P22 for these coordinates. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Columbia, Houston. The coordinates you have loaded in P22 are—we have—are Site 130 prime. Do you concur? Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay, Houston.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

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.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Michael Collins (CMP)

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

Michael Collins (CMP)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

That's affirmative. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

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.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Multiple speakers

I can give high …

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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.

Michael Collins (CMP)

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

Michael Collins (CMP)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. Copy, Columbia, Out.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

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

Michael Collins (CMP)

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

Michael Collins (CMP)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Columbia, stand by on the NOUN 49. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

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