Spacelog Apollo 11

Roger that.

We're burning.

That a boy!

Okay. You've got me.

Eagle and Columbia, Houston. Standing by.

Roger. We're stationkeeping.

Okay, Mike. I'll get—try to get in position here, then you got it.

How does the roll attitude look?

I'll stop. Matter of fact, I can stop right here if you like that.

Eagle, Houston. Middle gimbal. And you might pass to Columbia, we don't have him yet.

That's right.

Okay.

I'm pumping up cabin pressure.

That was a funny one. You know, I didn't feel it shock, and I thought things were pretty steady. I went to RETRACT there, and that's when all hell broke loose. Were you guys—did it appear to you to be—that you were jerking around quite a bit during the retrack cycle?

Yes. It seemed to happen at the time I put the plus X thrust to it, and apparently it wasn't centered, because somehow or other I accidentally got off in attitude and then the attitude hold system started firing.

Yes. I was sure busy there for a couple of seconds.

Are you hearing me all right? I got a horrible squeal.

Yes. I agree with that, but we hear you okay. Over.

Houston, Apollo 11. Over.

Apollo 11, Houston. Go.

Roger. I'm supposed to adjust the oxygen flow in this thing to six tenths of a pound per hour, but being as how this transducer is not working right, could you give me an updated number?

Affirmative. You want to go ahead and adjust your O₂ flow until it just goes off the peg, and then crank the direct O₂ valve back down about 5 degrees. Over.

Boy, you were really waiting for that one, weren't you? Okay, Ron. Thank you.

Houston, I did that, and I believe we are flowing oxygen, but the gage is just pegged FULL SCALE LOW.

Roger. That's fine. That's what we expect.

Okay.

Okay. I'm going to go ahead with the tunnel leak check.

Columbia, Houston. I have a new LM weight for you whenever you're ready to copy.

Not right now, Ron. Remind me of it later, would you please?

Roger. We'll stand by.

Houston, Apollo 11. I let P47 run longer than I should. I may have deteriorated our state vector slightly.

Roger, Apollo 11. That's okay. We'll see later.

Houston, Apollo 11. Go ahead with your DAP up, please.

Roger. Your LM weight, 5785. For an R1 we'd like to have 61102, R2 01111. Use BD roll. Over.

Roger. I'm configured now at … for BD roll, and I have thrusters C4 and B3 turned off, and I copy register 1 61102 01111 and LM weight 5785. Thank you.

Houston, Columbia has completed the leak check, and proceeding with opening the hatch dump valve.

Roger, Columbia. Understand you're doing the leak check. I missed anything after that.

I say the leak check is complete, and I'm proceeding with opening the hatch dump valve.
