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.

We copy. Out.

And, Columbia, Houston. We expect to lose your high gain sometime during the powered descent. Over.

Columbia. Roger. You don't much care do you?

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. 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.
