Spacelog Apollo 11

Eagle, Houston. Place the BIOMED to Commander. Over.

Roger. You got him.

Thank you, sir.

Eagle, Houston. We've lost the high bit rate. Would you please select low bit rate? Over.

You got it.

And, Eagle, on my Mark we'll have 12 minutes to ignition. Over.

Roger.

Eagle, Houston. Stand by for my Mark.

MARK.

Twelve minutes to ignition.

We copy.

Columbia/Eagle, Houston. Three minutes to LOS. Both looking good going over the hill.

Columbia. Roger.

Columbia, Houston. We're standing by. Over.

Columbia, Houston. Over.

Houston, Columbia. Reading you loud and clear. How me?

Roger. Five by, Mike. How did it go? Over.

Listen, babe. Everything's going just swimmingly, Beautiful.

Great. We're standing by for Eagle.

Okay, He's coming along.

No, sir.

Houston, Eagle. How do you read?

Five by, Eagle. We're standing by for your burn report. Over.

Roger. The burn was on time. The residuals before nulling: minus 0.1, minus 0.4, minus 0.1, X and Z nulled to zero … nulling …

Columbia, Houston. We've lost all data with Eagle. Please have him reacquire on the high gain, Over.

Eagle, this is Columbia. Houston would like you to reacquire on the high gain. They've lost your data. Over.

Eagle, did you copy Columbia?

Eagle, Houston. Did you call?

Eagle, Houston—Houston, Eagle. How do you read now?

Roger. Five by, Neil. We copied up to the AGS residuals. Would you please repeat the AGS residuals in the trim—correction—the Sun check? Over.

Roger. AGS residuals: minus 0.1, minus 0.2, minus 0.7. And we used the PGNS NOUN 86 for DELTA-VZ which was 9.5, versus yours which was 9.1, and I believe that may explain the difference. Apogee 57.2, perilune 9.1, Sun check to three marks, NOUN 20, minus NOUN 22, plus 0.19, plus 0.16, plus 0.11. Over.

Columbia, Houston. We've lost Eagle again. Have him try the high gain. Over.

Eagle, this is Columbia. Houston lost you again. They're requesting another try at the high gain.

Eagle, Houston. We have you now. Do you read? Over.

Loud and clear.

Roger. We see your VERB 47.

Yes. I don't know what the problem was there. It just started oscillating around in yaw. According to the needle, we're picking up a little oscillation right now, as a matter of fact.

Roger. We'll work on it.

Horizon checklist right on time.

Roger.

Did you copy the star—I mean the Sun check, Charlie?

That's affirmative. We did, Buzz. Out.

Eagle, Houston. The AGS initialization looked good to us. Over.

Roger.

Our radar checks indicate 50,000 foot perilune. Our visual altitude checks steadying out at about 53,000.
