Spacelog Apollo 11

Roger. Got 3.8 and I got 54 on the O₂ and no flags, and my flow is in N.

Neil and Buzz, for your information, your consumables remain in good shape. Out.

Roger, How's it coming, Neil?

Okay. I've got one side hooked up to the second box and I've got the film pack on.

Okay. Good.

Boy, that bilge from on the LEC is kind of falling all over me while I'm doing this.

All that soot, huh?

That's what it looks like down here.

I think my watch stopped, Neil.

Did it?

No, it didn't either. Second hand.

Okay. If you can just kind of hold it, why, I think I can do the pulling.

Okay. Stand by a minute. Let me move back.

Okay. Easy. All right, easy in the hatch now.

Okay. I'll get it the rest of the way. And I'll give it to you to—No, wait, just a second. Yes, a little more.

Buzz?

Okay. It's unhooked.

How about that—package out of your—brief. Get that?

No.

Okay. I'll get it when I get up there.

… now?

…

Okay?

Okay.

Neil, this is Houston. Did you get the Hasselblad magazine?

Yes, I did. And we got about, I'd say, 20 pounds of carefully selected, if not documented, samples.

Houston. Roger. Well done. Out.

…

Just keep your head down close. Now start arching your back. That's good. Plenty of room. Now, all right, arch your back a little, your head up against *** Roll right just a little bit. Head down. … in good shape.

Thank you. Am I bumping now?

No, you're clear. You're rubbing up against me a little bit.

Okay?

*** All right. That's right. A bit to the left. Okay. Now move your foot, and I'll get the hatch.

Okay.

Okay. The hatch is closed and latched, and verified secure.

Okay. Now we turn the feedwater valve—CLOSED. And I got your PLSS antenna …

Okay. Feedwater valve's CLOSED.

And your antenna's …

Okay.

…

Okay. That's out. … I did my part … Okay.

…

This is Houston. Go ahead.

You're cutting out, Neil. You're not readable. I understand you said something about contingency sample container on the ascent engine?

We are not reading you, Neil. Buzz, Buzz, this is Houston. Do you read? Over.

***

A, receive. B, off.

Neil, this is Houston. We seem to be reading you now. How do,you read us? Over.

ICS, push to talk.

Houston, this is Tranquility. How do you read?

Tranquility Base, this is Houston. Loud and clear. How us?

Loud and clear. We're in the process of switching over to LM COMM here.

Tranquility Base, this is Houston. We'd like to verify your steerable antenna in track mode slew. We're going to do a communications handover here on Earth. Over.

Roger. That's affirmative. We're in track mode slew.

Columbia, Columbia, this is Houston. Over.

Roger, Columbia on Charlie. How do you read?

Roger, Columbia. This is Houston. Reading you loud and clear on OMNI Charlie. The crew of Tranquility Base is back inside their base, repressurized, and they're in the process of doffing the PLSS's. Everything went beautifully. Over.

Hallelujah.

And we'd like to get P00 and ACCEPT from you. We have a state vector uplink. And, after that, we'd like you to realign your platform to the new REFSMMAT that we sent up a REV or two ago. Over.

Roger. Understand. You want a option 1, P52 option 1.

Columbia, this is Houston. We're going to uplink you a new state vector, and then we'll send the REFSMMAT up again, because sending the state vector up will wipe out the one that you have on board; and then you can do a P52 option 1. Over.

Columbia, this is Houston. Do you read? Over.

Roger, Houston. Columbia's reading you.

Okay, Columbia. We've completed the uplink; the computer is yours. You can go BLOCK; however, we'd like you to hold off on the P52 option 1 align until after you've passed landing site 2; and we're requesting that you perform another P22 and attempt to find the LM this pass. I've got some numbers for you when you're ready to copy. Over.

Roger. Stand by.

Ready to copy.

Roger, Columbia. P22 landmark ID is lunar module—make that Tranquility Base; P1, 112 25 08; P2, 112 30 17, 4 nautical miles south. Time of closest approach, 112 31 52; shaft 357. 051, trunnion 047. 432, roll zero, pitch 250, yaw zero. Readback. Over.

Columbia, this is Houston. Did you copy my P22 update? Over.

Houston, Columbia.

Columbia, this is Houston. Did you copy my P22 PAD?

Columbia, this is Houston. Do you copy my PAD? Over.

Negative, Bruce. Just give me the latitude and longitude over 2, altitude, and the grid squares. Never mind the other. You're broken up.

Stand by.

Well, that is, if you have new information. Otherwise, I'll just use the old numbers.

No, wait a minute. We've got new information.

Tranquility Base, this is Houston. Can you give us some idea of how you're progressing on the PLSS doffing and preparation for DEPRESS?

Roger, Houston. Tranquility Base. We're in the process of using up what film we have, and I'm just getting ready to change the primary ECS canister. Over.

Roger, Tranquility. We'd like to hold off as long as possible on the lithium hydroxide canister. Make that one of the last things you do in getting ready for the DEPRESS, if you can. Over.

Roger. We're planning on doing that. I was just wondering how much longer we want to wait, though. We've probably got another half an hour's worth of picture taking, and I guess we could run through an eat cycle and then change the canister, and then DEPRESS. Over.

Roger. That sounds fine to us.

Well, it'll be a little crowded in here for a while.

Well, we don't mind a bit.

Houston, Columbia. You got the new coordinates?

Columbia. This is Houston. Go ahead.

Roger, Have you got the new coordinates for me?

Roger. Latitude 00.691—that would be plus 00.691—and longitude over 2 is plus 11.713. The altitude is minus 1.44 nautical miles. Over.

Roger. Thank you.

Columbia, this is Houston. On latitude, make that plus 00.692, rounding off. Over.
