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.
-
Michael Collins (CMP)
-
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.
-
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)
-
Eagle, Columbia.

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.
