Spacelog Apollo 11

Glad to hear it.

You got a crowd there in MCC?

Roger. You're last, Columbia.

Roger. I expect you probably have about nine CAP COMMS and 11 Flight Directors with no place to plug in.

Roger. Out.

That ratio might even be reversed.

Glycol evaporator outlet temperature is 50 degrees and the comfort in here is just fine.

Roger. We copy 50 degrees on the glycol, and comfort index fine.

If you'll excuse me a minute, I'm going to have a cup of coffee.

Roger.

Apollo—Columbia, this is Houston. Your map coordinates are Papa decimal 2 and 6 decimal 3 on the LAM 2 chart. Over.

Columbia, this is Houston. Did you copy the coordinates for the LM? Over.

Houston, Columbia on the high gain.

Columbia, this is Houston reading you loud and clear. Over.

Read you loud and clear, Bruce.

Roger, Mike. I have the coordinates —

What's new?

Well, what's new is I think we have some more coordinates for you on the LM location. Over.

Ready to copy.

Roger, Mike. Papa 0.2 and 6.3 on your LAM 2 chart. Over.

Roger. Papa 0.2 and who 0.3?

6.3, I say again, 6.3.

Thank you. Papa 0.2 and 6.3. I'll try them.

Roger.

Okay. What you are saying is, if you look at the cat's paw, then that's just about, oh—his middle finger, a little bit—one to two o'clock from his middle finger. Is that right?

Roger. About one to two o'clock from the middle finger if you are using 12 o'clock being to the west. Over.

That must be the way the cat's faced. Okay. I'm with you.

Okay. And I got LOS and AOS times for you.

Go ahead.

Go ahead, Houston.

Roger. Your LOS at 107 plus 23 plus 03. AOS at 108 plus 09 plus 06. The next pass for COAS tracking: your time of closest approach is 108 35 28. That's 3 miles south of track. Over.

I understand all that, but with this new information would you like me to try P22 and look for him in a different spot?

Stand by a minute, please.

Okay. Because I was looking in the wrong place last time. AUTO optics was not pointing me at the coordinates you gave me.

Roger.

Columbia, this is Houston. Over.

Go ahead.

On your next pass, Columbia, rather than performing a P22 as such, we would like you to look in the vicinity of the coordinates that we gave you, which is our best analysis based on map physics and the trajectory, and we also have another set of coordinates that we would like you to search in the vicinity of. This last one being based on all interpretation of the geological features that were seen by the crew on their way down. The coordinates of this second site are Mike 0.7 and 8.0. I say again, Mike 0.7 and 8.0. I say again, Mike 0.7 and 8.0. Over.

Roger. Copy. Mike 0.7 and 8.0. The only thing is, my best tool for looking is the sextant and if I'm going to crank the sextant up, I might as well let P22 go at the same time, or don't you think so?

Roger. If you want to go that way, crank it up and then you can drive it around and look where you want. Over.

Okay.

And if you can find the LM, then by all means, track it or make a note of where it was and we can track it on the next REV. If you are ready, we have a REFSMMAT update that we can pass up to you at this time, if you will give us P00 in ACCEPT. Over.

Okay. P00 in ACCEPT you got. And this is an updated landing site RESFMMAT. We still believe that a plane change is not required. Is that affirmative?

That's affirmative, Columbia.

Okay. Open up your audio circuit breaker, and disconnect the LM COMM cable.

Columbia, Columbia, this is Houston. Over.

Houston, Columbia on the high gain. How do you read ?

Roger, Columbia. Reading you loud and clear on the high gain. We have enabled the one way MSFN relay that you requested. The crew of Tranquility Base is currently donning PLSS's. The LMP has his PLSS on, COMM checks out, and the CDR is checking his COMM out now. Over.

Sounds good. Thank you kindly.

Houston, Columbia. I tweaked the platform up on the back side. I have a P52 option 3 when you're ready to copy the data.

Go ahead, Columbia.

Roger. Stars 43 and 44: star angle difference 4 balls 1, NOUN 93 plus 000 —

Audio circuit breaker CLOSED.

— 57, plus —

All right, on your panel, VHF A, OFF; VHF B, OFF.

— 00166, minus 00022, and the —

All right, RCU PTT to MAIN.

— time is 107 30 38. Over.

Columbia, this is Houston. Copy star angle difference of 4 balls 1; NOUN 93, plus 00057 —

PLSS mode switch to B.

— plus 00166, minus 00022 —

Warning tone?

— time of 107 30 38. Over.

…

You got it.

Roger. Are you reading Tranquility Base now?

Okay. You've got an O and a P.

What is your O₂ quantity, by the way?

O₂ quantity is about 91.

I've got 92.

Okay, now. I'm going to mode select B.

Warning tone.

That where you were? B?

I'm in B.

*** A.

Okay.

I'm in A.

Okay. How do you read me?

I read you.

You're loud and clear.

I got another warning tone. Go.

*** about now? Okay?

Both. That's mode select AR.

AR.

How do you read?

Didn't get a warning tone.

I got one.

Got it?

Okay. One antenna is out. Verify PLSS O₂ bottle pressure greater than 85. ***

It is.

Do you have voice with ***

Got her.

Houston, Tranquility. How do you read ? Over.
