Spacelog Apollo 11

That's it. Got a good lockon, Houston.

… take that.

How about that?

Your really think its apogee is 125 21, huh? 25 … That circuit breaker is in.

Engine arm circuit breaker.

Okay. There's a mark. Buy that?

Eagle, Houston. If you have time, pitch 162, yaw minus 16.

You load the REFSMMAT? Okay.

Eagle, Columbia. Your Y dot is minus 1.0. Over.

Mike, you're …

Eagle, do you read Columbia? Over.

Eagle, this is Columbia. Over.

Houston, Columbia. Over.

Roger, Columbia. Loud and clear now. This is Houston.

Roger. Would you tell Eagle his Y dot is minus 1.0. Over.

Roger. Eagle, Columbia says your Y dot is minus 1.0. Over.

Roger, Houston. We got that. Thank you.

Roger. And you can go high bit rate now. Eagle can.

Eagle, Columbia. How do you read?

AGS agrees very closely, and pointing …

Houston, Columbia is unable to read Eagle on either antenna or on VHF duplex Bravo. You got any suggestions?

Roger. Columbia, we understand. You are unable to read Eagle. Stand by.

Houston, tell Columbia that we read him about strength 2.

Okay. Wide deadband on.

Houston, Columbia. Also my VHF ranging is not working now, and I'd like to know whether you'd like me to continue making sextant marks or do nothing. I'm supposed to be doing VHF marks only, and it's for the next 6 or 7 minutes.

Columbia, Houston. Roger. We copy. And, Eagle, looks like the best antenna would be forward for the LM. And, break. Eagle, we missed your loading of the TPI TIG and P32. Could you confirm you've done that?

Columbia, Houston. Recommend you take sextant marks and do not reinitialize. Over.

Roger, Houston. Columbia's got the VHF ranging back now. I'll stick with the nominal. Thank you.

Roger. Mighty fine.

Columbia reading you loud and clear now, Eagle.

Columbia, Houston.

Go ahead, Houston.

Roger. Mike, you can go ahead and get as many VHF and sextant marks as you can here in this period of time.

Roger. I've just got time for maybe two sextant marks, then get on with the final count.

Eagle and Columbia, about 1 minute till LOS there on Columbia. It looks like we have about 51.5 for CSI, and we tend to confirm your Y dot. And, break. For Eagle, verify VHF Bravo transmitter is off.

Roger. VHF Bravo is off.

Eagle, Houston. Recommend aft OMNI and are you GO for CSI, so we can let Columbia know. Over.

Roger. We're GO for CSI.

Columbia, Houston. Did you copy? Eagle is GO for CSI.

No, I did not copy. I'm reading them only intermittently, but thank you.

Roger.

Eagle, Houston. We'll see you coming around the other side. Your AOS time—is 1 minute ahead of the flight plan.

…

Columbia, Houston. Heard you talked to Eagle? I assume you have COMM with Eagle now?

Houston, Columbia. Over.

Houston, Columbia in OMNI D Delta. Over.

Houston, Columbia. Over.

Columbia, Houston. You're very weak. Say again.

Houston, Columbia. How now?

Houston, Columbia. Over.

Houston, Columbia. Over.

Houston, Columbia. Over.

Houston, this is Eagle. Over.

Hey, Eagle. Houston loud and clear. Columbia was very weak. We were unable to read him.

Roger. We saw you come up over the horizon and it looks like you had a laser operating. Could you confirm that?

Eagle, Houston. Stand by. We'll check it. And, Eagle, Houston. Can you give us a burn report?

Roger. Stand by.

Okay. The CSI burn was on scheduled time of 125 19 3470, 51.5 feet per second was our solution. After chasing residuals a little bit, we ended up with a minus 0.2, plus 0.7, and minus 0.1. And in the AGS, at that time, we had plus 0.4, plus 0.9, and plus 0.3.

Eagle—Eagle, Houston. We copy. Any plane change? Over.

No. There was no plane change on CSI, and CSM had a 2.3 foot per second burn. We had a 2.9, and we elected to postpone that. Over.

Roger. We copy, Eagle. Thank you.

Houston, how do you read Columbia now?

Eagle, how about asking them for some high gain angles for me, will you, please?

Roger, Houston, do you have some high gain angles for Columbia? Over.

Roger, Eagle. And, Columbia, stand by. We'll have them for you shortly.

Eagle, Houston. Could you verify you switched lithium hydroxide canisters? Over.

That's affirmative. We started getting an erratic indication on primary, so we switched to secondary, and it was again erratic and I thought it might have been a sensor. But it's settled down now, and we're on the secondary. Over.

Roger. We copy. Mighty fine.

Columbia and Eagle. Request OMNI Delta for Columbia.

Roger, Houston. I've been in Delta the whole time but it doesn't …

Houston. Columbia's been on Delta, but he hasn't had much luck with you.

Eagle, Houston. Roger. We copy.

Eagle, are you ready to copy your Y dot?

Go ahead.

***

Eagle, Houston. At your convenience, we'd like to go ahead and try your lithium hydroxides on the primary and let us take a look at it down here.

Columbia, Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston. ***

Houston, Eagle. Columbia's been reading you loud and clear on his OMNI's, but he hasn't had any luck in transmitting to you.

Roger, Eagle. Mighty fine. We don't hear Columbia though.

Okay.

We're burning ours, Mike. Minus 1.8.

Eagle, Houston. …

Columbia, Houston. …

Columbia, Houston. Over.

Columbia, Houston. You can go ahead and go to REACQ in the high gain. We should get you then.

Do you have some angles for him, Houston?

Roger. Pitch minus 30, yaw 180, for Columbia.

Okay. And what was your CSI—CDH solution, Mike?

***

Roger. Copy. Thank you.

And, Houston, Eagle. Got an ECS light—a CO₂ light. Partial pressure's reading about one half millimeter.

Eagle and Columbia, Houston. Roger. We copy.

Houston, how do you read Columbia?

Columbia, Houston. Go.

Eagle, Houston. We're sure that's a sensor problem. You can leave it on PRIMARY.

Okay.
