Spacelog Apollo 11

That would be hatch opening.

That's what we thought. Thank you much.

That might be a little later than that, but in other words, start the PREP in about an hour or so.

Houston, Columbia. Copy NOUN 49?

Stand by, Columbia.

Tranquility Base, Houston. That's fine. We are ready to support you any time, Neil. Over.

Roger.

Roger.

Break. Columbia, we see the NOUN 49. Stand by.

Columbia, Houston. We got the data. We would like a VERB 34. Over.

All right. Stand by one, Charlie, for the next one.

Roger.

It looks like a nice area, though.

Hello, Columbia. Houston. I understand you could not see Tranquility. What were you marking on? Over.

Houston, Columbia. I say again, I could not see him. AUTO optics pointed at a spot very close to the coordinates which you gave me, so I picked a tiny crater in that area and marked on it so I will be able to have repeatable data, but I was unable to see him.

Columbia, Houston. Over.

Columbia. Go.

Columbia, Houston. We noticed you are maneuvering very close to gimbal lock. I suggest you move back away. Over.

Yes. I am going around it, doing this CMC AUTO maneuvers to the PAD values of roll 270, pitch 101, yaw 45.

Roger, Columbia.

How about sending me a fourth gimbal for Christmas.

Columbia, Houston. You were unreadable. Say again please.

Disregard.

Columbia, Houston. Several items for you. Over.

Ready to copy.

Columbia, Houston. First of all, we'd like a waste water dump to 10 percent on the backside. Secondly, it does not look like we are going to need any plane change at this time, so we will not be uplinking a new REFSMMAT. Third item, I would like all of your CRYO heaters to AUTO, and we are ready for a battery charge, battery BRAVO; it will last about 7 hours. If you should go to sleep, we will be terminating that BATT charge, but at the moment, we can go ahead and start the BATT charge on BATT Bravo. And a final item, for your SM RCS configuration for your rest period, register 1 for the DAP is 11111; DAP register 2, 01100. And your AUTO RCS select switches, quad Alfa, pitch jets on only, quad Bravo all on, quad Charlie and quad Delta all off. Over.

Roger. Dump waste water to 10 percent on the backside. Use prior REFSMMAT, CRYO heaters on to AUTO, battery B charge until I go to sleep. DAP is 11111, 01100. Select quads A pitch only on, C and D all up. Over.

Columbia, Houston. Roger.

Columbia, Houston. We will have a state vector update for you a little later. We are not prepared with it right now; and on another subject, from Tranquility Base, they are prepared to begin their EVA early. They expect to begin DEPRESS operations in about 3 hours at 108, approximately 108 GET. Over.

Sounds good to me. Tell them to eat some lunch before they go.

Columbia, Houston. We'd like your PRD readouts when possible, and we've checked over your EM dump. It all looks okay.

Tranquility Base, Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston.

Tranquility, Houston. We'd like your PRD readout, and we have double checked your EM dump. It all looks okay. Over.

Roger. Understand our E memory dump was good. CDR's dosimeter is 11014.

And LMP is 09011.

Roger, Tranquility. Break. Columbia, we would like for you to REACQ with your high gain; attempt a manual lock on. Over.

…

Houston, Tranquility here. The LMP's readout may possibly be 09017. Over.

Tranquility, Houston. Roger. 09017 is an update on your readout.

Columbia's in high gain.

I'll let you know for sure when it goes to either 12 or 18.

Tranquility, Houston. Roger. The medics report your latter reading, 17, appears to be the correct one. Over.

Roger.

Columbia's in the high gain.
