Eagle, Houston. Middle gimbal. And you might pass to Columbia, we don't have him yet.
- Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
Key moment Eagle meets up with Columbia in lunar orbit: I'm not going to do a thing, Mike. I'm just letting her hold in ATTITUDE HOLD.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
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?
- Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
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.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
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?
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
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.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Houston, I did that, and I believe we are flowing oxygen, but the gage is just pegged FULL SCALE LOW.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Columbia, Houston. I have a new LM weight for you whenever you're ready to copy.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Houston, Apollo 11. I let P47 run longer than I should. I may have deteriorated our state vector slightly.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Your LM weight, 5785. For an R1 we'd like to have 61102, R2 01111. Use BD roll. Over.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
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.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Houston, Columbia has completed the leak check, and proceeding with opening the hatch dump valve.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Columbia. Understand you're doing the leak check. I missed anything after that.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
I say the leak check is complete, and I'm proceeding with opening the hatch dump valve.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
My hatch is removed. You can open yours, and I'll start passing stuff up to you.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Any time prior to jettison there, we'd like an AGS to PGNS align: 400 plus 30 000. Over.
- Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
No. We're not getting any. Could you give us some course align gimbal angles to move the PGNS to, and then we will align the AGS to the PGNS. Over.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Eagle. We concur. Stand by on the gimbal angles. And also, Eagle, while we've got the command module direct O2 on there, there's a possibility that your cabin relief might relieve if we get up around cabin pressure of about 5.4 or 5.5.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. All we are trying to do is get PGNS and AGS aligned together. Doesn't make any difference on the gimbal angle.
- Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
Now, you might want to take into account what will happen when the CSM maneuvers to jettison attitude.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Eagle, Houston. We don't care what—All we are trying to do is get a drift rate and see how long it takes them to drift apart on the thing after you jettison.
- Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
Okay. Will we be jettisoning at about this attitude? That's okay. I'll align the AGS with the PGNS. You can tell me a little later if you need some help.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Houston, Columbia. You want me to roll over and get high gain or anything like that?
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Columbia, Houston. I can give you some REACQ angles for the high gain on the LM jettison attitude. Then you can go there whenever you want to. The angles are pitch minus 50, and yaw zero.
- Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
Roger. It doesn't appear as though the red hose is going to be much of a competitor to the leading vacuum cleaner brands. Over.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Just a reminder to be sure to zero the AGS errors before you enable the AGS attitude hold there after you get in burn attitude.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
And Eagle, Houston. Your steerable antenna angles for jettison attitude are—Over.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Okay. Coming up. Houston, do you have any preferences as to what you want us to do with the probe? Over.

-
Roger. Neil, it looks like your steerable's good. You can put your track mode to slew and high bit rate, please. Over.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Neil, just a reminder again, the ACA out of detent to zero; the AGS out of there just in case you go to ATTITUDE HOLD shortly.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. That ACA out of detent didn't quite do it because the mode control switches were off. Request guidance control to PGNS and then back to AGS, and that will zero the AGS, there. Over.
- Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
And I thought I'd just take about 5 seconds here and see if I could get 000 gone, since we're fairly close to gimbal lock right now.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Columbia and Eagle, Houston. About 5 minutes to LOS. Your LM jet time will be 131 plus 52, and I have the rest of the maneuver PAD if you want it now, or I can give it to you on the next time around.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 11, Houston. About a minute and a half to LOS. You're looking great. It's been a mighty fine day.
- Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
Houston, this is Columbia. Reading you loud and clear. We're all three back inside; the hatch is installed. We're running a pressure check leak check. Everything's going well.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Eagle. Correction—Roger, Columbia. We copy. You guys are speedy; you beat us to the punch. We had a couple of things for you.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Oh, it was just—We wanted you to close the CO2 sensor breaker and give us an RCS onboard readout out of Eagle, but that's all. Columbia, Houston. We've got a state vector for you if you'll give us P00 in ACCEPT. Over.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Columbia, Houston. Your friendly White Team's going to be on till we get you on the way home, and we'd like to congratulate everybody on a successful rendezvous and a beautiful EVA. It was a great show for everybody. Over.
- Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
Houston, the hatch passes its integrity check. I'm going to go to LM tunnel VENT now, and leave it there.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Columbia. We copy. That's good, and we'd like a readout on the TEP of about the time you—that Eagle selected the secondary loop. Over.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Hello, Columbia. Houston. We got the load in. You can do the VERB 66 and the computer is yours. Over.
