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.

Tranquility, Houston. For your information, the circuitry looks real fine on that ascent engine arm circuit breaker.
-
Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
And it looks like in detent 6 I can pick up Venus right at the fringe, but I can't get anything else.

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.
-
Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
On the rear detent, the radar can be pointing plus X, and I'm—I'll be using right rear. That's okay.

Tranquility Base, Houston. I have one more late checklist change there on the rendezvous radar position for lift off. Over. From page Surface 57.
-
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. On Surface 57 there on your VERB 21 NOUN 73 trunnion, leave it 180; the shaft we'd like 335. Over.

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.

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

Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
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.
-
Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
Houston, Tranquility Base. Since we've still got plenty of time I think I'll go ahead and recycle on this 604.
-
Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Tranquility. Roger. That's okay with us, and we assume that the primary canister is still aboard. Is this correct?
-
Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
We have one primary canister on board and one secondary. The other primary is—out in front of the Z—plus—Z pad. Over.
-
Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
The PGNS looks consistent today.

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