Spacelog Apollo 11

Roger. Coming at you with a CSI: NOUN 11, 105 35 3700, 107 11 3000, 0538, minus all zeros. FDAI is NA, 0937—correction, 09356, 10315, plus 0538, minus all zeros, plus 0012. Over.

Roger. Say again R1 and NOUN 86.

Roger. R1 is plus 0538, and we have a load for you. Will you please give us P00 and DATA? Over.

Roger. Before I do that I would like to designate the rendezvous radar up to plus-X.

Roger.

Okay. CSI readback: NOUN 11, 105 35 3700, 107 11 3000, 0538, minus all zeros, NA, 09356, 10315. NOUN 86, plus 0538, plus all zeros, and the last one was 0012. And what's the sign of that, please?

Tranquility, Houston. The DELTA-VY is minus all zeros. The DELTA-VZ is plus 0012. Over.

Roger. Plus 0012.

Roger. Good readback.

Houston, Tranquility Base. The DSKY's yours, and updata link to DATA.

Hello, Tranquility Base. Houston. On my Mark it will be 37 minutes to T3. Over.

Okay.

Stand by.

MARK.

Thirty seven minutes till T3.

Okay. Thank you.

Tranquility, this is Houston. It's your computer. We got the load in. You can start your P57.

Houston, Tranquility Base. Does somebody down there have a mike button keyed? Over.

Stand by, and we'll check.

Tranquility, Houston. Do you still hear it now? Over.

I still hear it. It sounds like somebody banging chairs around in the back room.

Roger. That's a VOGAA that you hear for the CSM to keep the noise down on the loop. Maybe we got a MSFN relay or something. Stand by.

Okay.

Tranquility, Houston. We got the MSFN relay in. You're hearing the VOGAA, which is a noise suppression device. We'll try to take it out. Over.

All right. Thank you.

Tranquility, Houston. It ought to be a little quieter up there now. We disabled the MSFN relay.

Okay. I think the noise has stopped now. Thank you, Charlie.

Tranquility Base, Houston. On my Mark, 25 minutes till T3. Stand by.

MARK.

Twenty five minutes until T3.

Roger. Thank you, Charlie.

Houston, Columbia. How's it going?

Columbia, Houston. We're reading you about three by. Over.

Roger. I'm on OMNI Charlie. How's it going?

Roger. Understand. OMNI Charlie. Mike, be advised we have an update for you on the P22 for the LM. We estimate he landed about 4 miles downrange. Your T1 times are updated and your T2, if you're ready to copy. Over.

Ready to copy.

Ready to copy.

Okay. Roger, Columbia. T1 104 32 24, 104 37 33, 2 miles south. Time of closest approach is 104 39 08.

Hello, Tranquility Base. Houston. We copy the NOUN 93. You can torque them. Over.

You said 4 miles long, is that correct, Houston?

That's affirmative, Columbia. It's about 4 miles long. Stand by. We'll have you a map location momentarily. Over.

Houston, Tranquility Base. Do you have an updated LM weight for us? Over.

That's affirmative. Stand by on the DAP. Our DAP PAD for you is LM weight 10906. Over.

Roger. Correction on T4: 106 38 02. Over.

Got T4, 106 38 02.

…

Roger.

Hello, Columbia. Houston. We will not come up on the MSFN relay. We'd like you to come on panel 9, turn on your VHF to TR. Over.

Okay. I'm on panel 9. Ready to receive. You want me to transmit for some reason with it?

Say again, Mike. You're about two by.

Roger. Panel 9 is configured VHF, RECEIVE. You want me to transmit with the HF for some reason? Why do you want me in TR?

Columbia, this is Houston. We don't want you to transmit, Mike. We just want you in that position in case you want to talk to Tranquility. Break. Tranquility, Houston. Say again. Over.

Roger. I have a fairly good sized difference between battery volts on 5 and 6; 6 is reading 33.5 and 5 is reading 36.5. Is that what you expect? Over.

Roger. Stand by.

Tranquility, Houston. They are both coming up in voltage. No problem. We're still GO. Over.

Hello, Tranquility Base. Houston. Could you please give us a readout now of all of your descent tank pressures? Over.

Okay, Houston. On descent 1, fuel and oxidizer are reading 10 psi; and descent 2, fuel is reading 10 psi, oxidizer 11 psi.

Roger, Tranquility. Thank you much. Out.

Houston, Tranquility Base is ready to go through the powerdown and terminate the simulated countdown.

Roger. Standby.

Hello, Tranquility Base. Houston. You can start your powerdown now. Over.

Roger. It's in progress.

And, Tranquility Base, the White Team is going off now and letting the Maroon Team take over. We appreciate the great show. It was a beautiful Job, you guys.

Houston, Tranquility.

Go, Tranquility. Over.

Roger. Our recommendation at this point is planning an EVA with your concurrence starting about eight o'clock this evening, Houston time. That is about 3 hours from now.

Stand by.

Well, we will give you some time to think about that.

Tranquility Base, Houston. We thought about it; we will support it. You're GO at that time. Over.

Roger.

You guys are getting prime time TV there.

Hope that little TV set works, but we'll see.

Roger.

Hello, Tranquility Base. Houston. Was your eight o'clock Houston time a reference to opening the hatch or starting the PREP for EVA at that time? Over.
