Spacelog Apollo 11

Columbia, Houston. You're about one by, I could just barely make you out. I can't understand.

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.

Mark.

Range rate at 40.

Buzz, I would like to confirm that your TPI TIG is 127 02 02. Over.

We haven't settled on a final one yet. The last one was—stand by.

Roger. Understand.

Just as soon as you know what TPI TIG is going to be, I would appreciate a call.

Okay.

Last I got was 32 seconds earlier than mine which would make it 127 02 02.

Thank you. Are you going to be revising that one?

I think probably so. How late—How late can you take a revision?

Okay. Latest estimate, 127 03 39.

Thank you kindly,

Eagle, Houston.

Roger. Go ahead.

Roger. In the event of the possibility that we may have had some water channeling in those hydroxide canisters, we recommend you stay in the cabin mode from now on. Over.

Eagle, Houston.

Go ahead.

Roger. I'd better clarify that cabin mode a little bit there. What we mean is you go ahead and stay in the cabin mode. Helmets and gloves on are your option. And we really have no concern with the CO₂. Over.

Roger. Understand.

Mike, you already loaded that time? We've got a final one here.

I've already loaded it. I don't think it'll make much difference.

Roger. Only 9 seconds difference.

MARKS next.

Columbia, Houston.

Columbia. Go ahead.

Roger, Mike. You can go ahead and arm your logic anytime you want to, and we'll give you a GO so that you can get your PYRO ARM at your convenience.

That's a good idea, babe. You standing by to watch the logic?

Affirmative. Give us a Mark.

MARK LOGIC 1.

MARK LOGIC 2.

Columbia, Houston. We need the SEQ ARM circuit breakers closed.

Okay. Going in SEQ ARM BATT A, and BATT B.

Columbia, Houston. Logic looks good. You can arm your PYRO's at your convenience.

Thank you.

Eagle, Columbia's starting to maneuver to TPI attitude.

Okay.

Eagle and Columbia, Houston. All your solutions look good to us. Out.

And, Mike, if you want our target DELTA V, I'll give it to you.

Ready to copy.

127 03 3082, plus 22.7, plus 1.7, minus 10.6. Over.

I'm showing a good bit of out of plane velocity on my cross pointers, Mike.

Roger. I have no indication of it.

Coming up on 1 minute to TIG, Neil. How's it looking?

Pretty good.

Good.

That out of plane was in the AGS, not in the radar.
