Michael Collins (CMP)

I'll make a small trim maneuver.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Mike, what's going to be your pitch angle at SEP?

Michael Collins (CMP)

Is that close enough for you or do you want it to a couple of decimal places?

Michael Collins (CMP)

I think you've got a fine looking flying machine there, Eagle, despite the fact you're upside down.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay, Eagle. One minute until TIG. You guys take care.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Houston, Columbia. My DSKY is reading 4.9, in X, 5.0 …, make it and EMS 105.4. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. Copy. Columbia, it looks good to us. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Columbia, Houston. We'd like you to terminate average G. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

You're going right down U.S. 1, Mike.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Eagle, Columbia. At your convenience, I would like to switch over to VHF ranging modes.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. Let's go to VHF ranging now.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Eagle, Columbia. I am reading you loud and scratchy. Neil is not coming through too well on his VOX. Could you be quiet for 15 seconds while I get this locked on.

Michael Collins (CMP)

I've got a solid lock on. I have you at 0.27 miles.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. We've got a state vector for you. We'd like P00 and DATA. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Columbia, Houston. We have a CSM rescue PAD if you are ready to copy. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger, Mike. Phasing TIG 103 40 0000, TPI for PDI less that 10, 105 12 3000, TPI for PDI greater than 10, 107 11 3000. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Roger. TIG's follow: phasing 103 40, PDI less than 10, 105 12 30 more than 10, 107 11 30. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. When you are ready to copy, I have a lunar surface data PAD for you. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

We've got the load in, Eagle. You can go back updata link OFF. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Columbia, Houston. At your convenience we'd like P00 and ACCEPT. We have a couple of state vectors for you. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay. Going to P00 and ACCEPT, and I just got some unexplained roll thruster activity. I might have bumped the hand controller.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. We will look at it. Out

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

And Eagle is ready to copy lunar surface data PAD.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger, Buzz. Starting with the T2, T2 TIG: 102 54 2900 103 51 5600 106 37 3500 109 10 0000. In the remarks: T2 occurs at PDI plus 2126. T3 time—correction T3, T3 TIG: 104 39 4100 001 58 1500 001 58 5400. NOUN 11: 105 36 2300 107 11 3000. Ready for your readback. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. T2: 102 54 2900 103 51 5600 106 37 3500 109 10 0000, T2 is PDI plus 2126. T3: 104 39 4100 001 58 1500 001 58 5400 105 36 2300 107 11 3000. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. Good readback, Eagle. Out.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Would you put your tracking light on, please?

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Columbia, Houston. We've got the load in. You can go back to BLOCK. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

That's affirmative, Columbia.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay. Thank you, Houston.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Mike, you want to give us a Mark when you're right at 7 miles—I mean seven tenths of a mile?
