Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

And, Houston, we got a 500 alarm early in the program. Went to DESCENT 1, proceeded on it, and we're back at AUTO again. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. We saw that, Buzz. Thank you much. Out.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

All right. I say again—Okay. That wasn't an alarm; that was a code. Okay.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. We recommend you yaw 10 right. It will help us on the high gain signal strength. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. If you read, you're GO for powered descent. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Eagle, this is Columbia. They just gave you a GO for powered descent.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Columbia, Houston. We've lost them on the high gain again. Would you please—We recommend they yaw right 10 degrees and reacquire.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Eagle, this is Columbia. You're GO for PDI and they recommend you yaw right 10 degrees and try the high gain again.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Eagle, you read Columbia?

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. We read you now. You're GO for PDI. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. Understand. AELD control circuit breakers. DECA GIMBAL AC—closed?

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

DECA GIMBAL AC—closed? Circuit breaker? COMMAND OVERRIDE—off? GIMBAL ENABLE? RATE SCALE—25.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. Your alignment is GO on the AGS. On my Mark, 3 30 until ignition.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. Copy. Thrust translation—four jets—Balance couple—ON. TTCA throttle—MINIMUM. Throttle—AUTO CDR. Prop button—RESET. Prop button. Okay. ABORT/ABORT STAGE—RESET. ATT CONTROL—three of them to MODE CONTROL. Okay, MODE CONTROL is set. AGS is reading 400 plus 1. Standing by for …

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. Sequence camera coming on.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. If you'd like to try high gain, pitch 212, yaw 37. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. I think I've got you on high gain now.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Say again the angles, though.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

I'll set them in to use them before we yaw around.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. Pitch 212, yaw plus 37.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

… 10 … 10 percent …

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Columbia, Houston. We've lost them. Tell them to go aft OMNI. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

They've lost you. Use the OMNI's again.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

I'll leave it in SLEW. Relay to us. See if they have got me now. I've got good signal strength in SLEW.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay. You should have him now, Houston.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, we've got you now. It's looking good. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

— descent looks good.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. Everything is looking good here. Over.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. After yaw around, angles: S band pitch, minus 9, yaw plus 18.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

AGS and PNGS agree very closely.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Beta ARM. Altitudes are a little high.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Houston. I'm getting a little fluctuation in the AC voltage now.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Could be our meter, maybe, huh?

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Stand by, Looking good to us. You're still looking good at 3, coming up 3 minutes.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

… real good …. about on.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Our. position checks downrange show us to be a little long.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

AGS has gone about 2 feet per second greater …

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

… ought to be … Stand by.,

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

… it's going to stop.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. You are GO to continue —

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

… closed … GO … at 4 minutes.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. You are GO—You are GO to continue powered descent. You are GO to continue powered descent.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

And, Eagle, Houston. We've got data dropout. You're still looking good.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

PGNS. We got good lock-on. Altitude lights OUT. DELTA-H is minus 2 900.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Got the Earth right out our front window.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Houston, you're looking at our DELTA-H?

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

That's affirmative.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

It's looking good to us. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Give us a reading on the 1202 PROGRAM ALARM.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. We got—We're GO on that alarm

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

6 plus 25, throttle down —

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Looks like about 820 -

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

— 6 plus 25, throttle down.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Same alarm, and it appears to come up when we have a 1668 up.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. We'll monitor your DELTA-H.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

… worked out beautifully.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. DELTA H is looking good to us.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger, We copy throttle down —

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

— … throttles down. Better than the simulator.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

AGS and PGNS look real close.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

At 7 minutes, you're looking great to us, Eagle.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. I'm still on SLEW so we may tend to lose as we gradually pitch over. Let me try AUTO again now and see what happens.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. Looks like it's holding.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Roger. We got good data.

Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)

Eagle, Houston. It's descent 2 fuel to MONITOR. Over.
