Tranquility Base, Houston. Request you go ahead and start the warmup on the rendezvous radar.

Tranquility Base, Houston. Columbia will be overhead at 122 plus 22 plus 51. His LOS will be 29 35. Over.
-
Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
Houston, we'd like to check this on the tape meter against the AGS. We'll go back to altitude—altitude rates as soon as the rate starts to build up. Over.
-
Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
On second thought, since that will peg the range rate, I guess maybe we'd better not do that. And for this range that the AGS are showing now, 425 miles with a signal strength of 2.2. It looks like we ought to proceed on this. Over.
-
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Tranquility, affirmative, and we're saving it. We've got 4 so far, and it's looking good.

Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Tranquility, Houston. Stand by on that now. We're getting the data now. We're checking on the VERB 83.
-
Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
And we expect that we may lose lock when it passes overhead because of the MAX rate that the radar has.
-
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. We had about 20 some points before you did that. And for your information, the reason the AGS is a little different there—The reason the AGS is a little different is because the K factor is a little bit wrong.
-
Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
Has he already gone? Over. Okay. Okay. Has he already gone overhead, or do you want us to try and get in lock on again?

Tranquility, affirmative. Try to lock on again, and you'll lose him at about 29 minutes and 35 seconds.

Michael Collins (CMP)
-
I say I got five good marks. You got NOUN 49. When you get everything you need off the downlink, let me know.
-
Michael Collins (CMP)
-
I'm staying in P22 here a second just to record the NOUN 89 and then over VERB 34.

Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Request S BAND FUNCTION switch to RANGE. We're going to do some ranging on you. Also, I have an updated AGS K factor when you are ready to copy. Over.
