Spacelog Apollo 11

Okay.

Okay. I read back plus 00.692, plus 11713, and minus 00144. And you have a grid square for me?

Roger. Standby.

Columbia. This is Houston. Grid coordinates: Kilo 0.9, 6.3, on LAM 2. Over.

Kilo 0.9 and 6.3. Thank you. One of these grid squares is about as much as you can scan on a single pass.

Roger.

And for your information, Columbia, you're approaching the VHF line of site COMM limit with Tranquility Base. LOS will be at 38 minutes plus 25 seconds. Over.

Roger.

Roger. And we've had to disable the one way MSFN relay owing to a ground site reconfiguration down here. Over.

Houston, Columbia. …

This is Houston. Go ahead. Over.

Roger. I can't see them.

Roger. I guess that takes care of the news for today, Mike.

All right. Roger.

You might be interested in knowing, Mike, that we have gotten reflections back from the laser reflector ray they deployed, and we may be able to get some information out of that a little later.

Roger. I need a very precise position, because I can only do a decent job of scanning maybe one of those grid squares at a time. The area that we've been sweeping covers 10's and 20's and 30's of them.

Roger. We understand. This is intended to be your last P22. We don't want to use up too much fuel in this effort. Over.

Roger. How's the fuel coming?

Roger. There's no problem fuel wise. It's just that there seems to be a limit to the number of P22's and the number of grid squares you can search over.

Roger. Well, I'll continue this maneuver then to roll 82, pitch 218, yaw zero, if that's okay with you, and do a P52 in that attitude. And that'll be a sleep …

Roger. That's fine with us. And P52 in that attitude.

Tranquility Base, this is Houston. Over.

Roger. T8, 114 30 57; T9, 116 29 10; T10, 118 27 23; T11, 120 25 36; T12, 122 23 49. Over.

Readback correct. Houston out.

Houston. Columbia.

Houston, Columbia on high gain.

Houston, Tranquility Base.

Columbia. Columbia, this is Houston. Over.

Columbia in the high gain.

Roger. Reading you loud and clear on the high gain, Columbia.

Roger. Going to P52 attitude. You want a crew status report?

Say again, Columbia?

I say again, I am maneuvering to the P52 attitude, and do you want a crew status report?

Roger. And go ahead with your crew status report.

Roger. No medication. Radiation 100.16.

Houston. We copy.

Houston, Tranquility Base.

Go ahead, Tranquility.

Roger. The weight of the RCU was 12 ounces. That was by itself without the bag, and the weight of the water from the CDR's PLSS was 12 1/2 ounces. That's reading zero with the bag on.

This is Houston. We copy. And, for your information, the new LM weight after jettison of equipment including lithium hydroxide canister is 10837. Over.

Houston, Columbia. Did you copy the P52?

Columbia, this is Houston. Affirmative.
