Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Go ahead, Columbia.

Michael Collins (CMP)

On our next pass, I'd appreciate the S band relay mode. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. We're working on that. There haven't been any transmissions from Tranquility Base since we last talked to you. We cannot give you a full S band relay without being assured of high gain antenna. We're working on the partial relay for you. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay. Understand, Bruce. Thank you very much.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Columbia, this is Houston. Approximately 2 minutes to LOS. All your systems are looking good from down here. Over.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Does it look to you like the 240 controller is properly controlling the glycol evaporator outlet TEMP? It locks all right up here.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger, Columbia. During this pass on the front side, it looked okay to us.

Michael Collins (CMP)

Okay. Thank you.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Houston, Tranquility Base.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Go ahead Tranquility Base.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Okay. We are on about the middle of page 28, Surface—28.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger, Tranquility. We copy

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

I think we'd … to put …

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Tranquility Base, this is Houston. Over.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Roger. Go ahead, Houston.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger, Tranquility. We're coming up in about 6 minutes on GET of 108. If you'd like to start your event timer, we can give you a hack at 108 00. Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Wilco.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Houston, Tranquility. We're ready to start with the electrical checkout. We're going to S band modulate FM. Over.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. Tranquility, this is Houston. We copy. Go ahead with the FM. And we missed the mark at 108. Do you want us to try and give you one at 108 05? Over.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

I think we've got the timer going. We've got 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

MARK.

Bruce McCandless (CAPCOM)

Roger. We copy, and you're in SYNC with us.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

It's increase.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

T/R.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

In.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Help you on that?

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Feed it, or disconnect, or what?

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Say again.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Connect PLSS electrical umbilical to PGA.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Let me *** up tight *** have to *** up straight *** up. Got her about ***

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

That's got it.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

*** Right.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Fastest VOX in the west.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Mark. All right. Okay.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Aren't they?

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Well, we've got antennas down and *** not real good, is it? Okay. Yours is up. We'll put my antenna up.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Okay.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

How do you read now?

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Okay.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Okay. I think that's going to be better.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

You read me all right now?

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

Yes.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Okay. That sounds pretty good.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

I guess it's a combination of the volume and the antenna. May have been just the volume that was way up too high. Why don't you try stowing it again; see if that makes any difference.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

Okay.

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)

All right. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That—That sounds pretty good.

Neil Armstrong (CDR)

… Okay?
