Spacelog Apollo 11

Tranquility, Houston. I have your LM ascent and CSI data PAD's when you are ready to copy.

We're ready to copy.

Roger. LM ascent PAD: TIG 124 22 00 00 00 NOUN 76 55349 00322, plus 0017; DEDA 47, plus 37104, minus 70470, plus 58604, plus 56936. Your LM weight 10837. Your T14 126, plus 20, plus 12. Over.

What figure is the crossrange and NOUN 76?

Roger. Your crossrange for NOUN 76—By the way, we may update this later, but now it is plus 0017. Over.

Roger. Readback follows. TIG 124 22 0000 55349 00322, plus 0017, plus 37104, minus 70470, plus 58604, plus 56936. LM weight 10837. T14, 126 20 12. Go.

Tranquility, Houston. Roger. Your readback correct. Now I have your CSI PAD.

Going to CSI PAD.

Roger. CSI PAD. TIG of CSI 125 19 3470; TIG of TPI 126 57 0000; NOUN 81, 0532 plus 0000; FDAI NA; DEDA 373 03196; DEDA 275 04170; NOUN 86 plus 0532, plus 0000, plus 0012. Tranquility readback.

CSI Apollo PAD follows. TIG 125 19 3470; TIG of TPI 126 57 0000; NOUN 81, 0532, plus all zeroes, 373 03196 275 04170; NOUN 86 plus 0532, plus 0000, plus 0012. Go.

Tranquility Base, Houston. Your readback is correct. And, Tranquility, no need for any GYRO compensation. It's GO.

Roger. Understand.

Columbia, Houston. Over.

Columbia, Houston in the blind. Request high gain. Pitch minus 30, yaw plus 170. Over.

Houston, Columbia on the high gain. Over.

Roger, Columbia. We still need to finish your uplink there, and then I have your CSI and TPI times and also the lift off.

Go ahead. Ready to copy.

Roger. LM ascent lift off time: 124 22 0000. Your CSI TIG, say again CSI TIG: 125 19 3470. Your TIG of TPI: 126 57 0000. And the LM's NOUN 81 values for CSI: 0532—that's 53.2 for DELTA VX, DELTA VY all zeros. Columbia, Houston. Over.

Roger. I readback lift off TIG 124 22 even, CSI 125 19 3470, TPI 126 57 even, the LM's NOUN 81 for CSI 53.2 DELTA VX. Over.

Columbia, Houston. Roger. Your readback correct.

Columbia, Houston. We're coming up with your second load now.

Roger that.

Columbia, Houston. The computer is yours, and you can do your VERB 45 ENTER now.

Roger. Go into BLOCK and VERB 45 ENTER.

Roger.

How's the Black Team today? All primed and raring to go?

You bet you there, Mike.

Columbia, Houston. About 3 minutes to LOS, and I have your consumables update.

Ready to copy.

Roger. At 123 plus 00, RCS total minus 7 percent, Alfa minus 12 percent, Bravo plus 4.5, Charlie minus 7, Delta minus 6.5. Your hydrogen total minus 1.4 pounds, oxygen—oxygen plus 1.7. Over.

Whoever figured those hydrogens and oxygens out a couple of days ago must have known what he was doing.

Okay. I think I read that oxygen—it's a plus 17 pounds.

Roger. Still close.

Roger.

Eagle and Columbia, this is the backup crew. Our congratulations for yesterday's performance, and our prayers are with you for the rendezvous. Over.

Thank you, Jim.

Thank you, Jim.

Glad to have all you big room full of people looking over our shoulder.

Tranquility, Houston. Roger. Very fine description.

I suspect this boulder field may have some of its origin with this large sharp edged rocky rim crater that we passed over at final descent. Now yesterday I said that was about the size of a football field, and I have to admit it was a little—little hard to measure coming in. But I thought that it might just fit in the Astrodome as we came by it. And the rocks in the vicinity of the—of this rocky rim crater are much larger than these in this area. Some are 10 feet or so and perhaps bigger, and they are very thickly populated out to about one crater diameter beyond the crater rim. Beyond that, there is some diminishing, and even out in this area the blocks seem to run out in rows with irregular patterns, and then there are paths between them where there are considerably less surface evidence of hard rocks. Over.

Tranquility Base, Houston. We copy. Thank you very much.

And, Tranquility Base, we're through with the ranging. You can take your S band function switch to OFF RESET.

Roger.

Go ahead, Houston.

Roger. For your P57 …, we did a little looking around, and it looks like Sirius and Rigel out at detent 6 would be real good on that. The Sun angle on Sirius is about 43 degrees, and on Rigel, it's about 55 degrees. Over.

Roger, Houston. The only trouble is that the Sun is in number 5, the closed one. And it appears to also be close enough to detent 6 to shine on the far side of the cone. And it completely obscures detent 6. I'm—unable to use that at all.

Okay. We understand it now, and thank you.

Tranquility, Houston. For your information, the circuitry looks real fine on that ascent engine arm circuit breaker.

Roger. I don't think I could get it out now if I wanted to.

Roger. We copy.

And it looks like in detent 6 I can pick up Venus right at the fringe, but I can't get anything else.

Roger.

And by the way, Houston, our EVA antenna did retract.

Roger. Mighty fine. Thank you.

Tranquility, Houston.

Roger. Go ahead.

Roger. It looks like you're going to have to reposition the radar here. We suggest you may want to start your TIG minus 45 minute—that point in the checklist at about TIG minus 50. Over.

Roger. Why do you think I need to move the radar?

Well, we thought that you probably wouldn't be able to get the star there.

On the rear detent, the radar can be pointing plus X, and I'm—I'll be using right rear. That's okay.

Roger. That's fine then.

Tranquility Base, Houston. I have one more late checklist change there on the rendezvous radar position for lift off. Over. From page Surface 57.

Roger. Go ahead.

Okay. On Surface 57 there on your VERB 21 NOUN 73 trunnion, leave it 180; the shaft we'd like 335. Over.

Roger. Understand. Shaft 335.

Roger. And if the steerable doesn't quite hack it on lift off, looks like the forward OMNI is good for about 30 to 60 seconds after lift off. And then the aft OMNI antenna is good for the rest of the ascent. Over.

Roger. Copy.

Houston, we've got two angles here at 3 minutes in ascent. Would you confirm those? Pitch 134 and yaw minus 32. Over.

Tranquility Base, Houston.

Go ahead.

Roger. Eagle's looking real fine to us down here. We have a fairly high confidence that we know the position of the LM. However, it is possible that we may have a planes change, but the—In the worst case, it would be up to 30 feet per second. And, of course, we don't expect that at all.

Okay.

Houston, Tranquility Base. Since we've still got plenty of time I think I'll go ahead and recycle on this 604.

Tranquility. Roger. That's okay with us, and we assume that the primary canister is still aboard. Is this correct?

We have one primary canister on board and one secondary. The other primary is—out in front of the Z—plus—Z pad. Over.

Roger. We copy. Thank you.

Ready for the blue bag —

The PGNS looks consistent today.

Houston, did you copy NOUN 05, and are you looking at 93? Over.

Tranquility Base. It's beautiful.

Okay. We'll proceed.

Roger.

I know where the star is; I'm not sure the PGNS knows where gravity is.

Houston, these are your angles, not ours.

Roger, Tranquility.

Stand by for some change or modification in the angles.

Tranquility Base, Houston. Recommend 334, and that should just keep it out of the limit.
