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)
-
Okay. Any particular attitude you would like the PGNS in when we do that?
Expand selection up Contract selection down Close - 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.
- Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
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.
- Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
Houston, Apollo 11. I'd say that the secondary loop was actuated about 15 to 20 minutes ago. Over.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Columbia, Houston. It looks like you guys are so speedy on us that we're thinking about moving up jettison time to about a GET of 130 plus 30, if that's okay with you all. Over.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. We want to talk to you about that. Mike, we can—for your druthers, we can do it either way. We can either let you do it in the jettison in P30—correction P47, or we can send you a P30 target load up and then you—let you call P41, whichever you want to do. Over.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
Yes, I see. Ron was going to give me a P30 PAD and the flight plan says P47. Out of the two, I prefer to go to P30, P41 route.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Beautiful. We've got the load. If you'll give us P00 and ACCEPT, we'll send you a load up. Stand by.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Columbia, Houston. We'd like you to terminate direct O2 flow, and stand by on your P00 and ACCEPT. We'll have to generate a new load due to the moveup on time. Over.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Columbia, Houston. Over.
Expand selection down Contract selection up - Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Mike. It looks like if we move up this jettison time and give you a new load, it would require a new attitude, and we can't do that due to the LM already closed out, and it would fight us all the way around and we'd lose COMM with it. We're thinking separating in P47 in about 10 minutes. We're looking at trajectories and we'll be right with you momentarily. Over.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Hello, Columbia. Houston. We'd like you to start down your jettison checklist. We recommend picking up page F11—12 and we'd like to jettison at 10 minutes. That'll be 130 14 15. Over.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Columbia, Houston. You can undock at your convenience, correction, jettison at your convenience. We would like you to jettison Eagle and stationkeep—in P47 and stationkeep, and we'll have another attitude and a maneuver for you so we'll be okay for TEI. Over.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
And I'm standing by to go to P47 just as soon as you give me a go for PYRO ARM.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. I thought we gave you that. Mike, you're GO for PYRO ARM and you're GO for jettison.
- Michael Collins (CMP)
-
NOUN 83 reading minus four balls, minus three balls, 3 or—correction—minus—both register 1 and register 2 are reading minus four balls 3, register 3 is zeros, the EMS remained on 100.00. A fairly loud noise, and it appears to be departing—oh, I would guess several feet per second.
- Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
Okay. I thrusted back—I thrusted back toward it a little bit, Charlie, and I'm now reading NOUN 83, plus four balls 4, minus four balls 8, and you want me to kill average D. Right?
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Roger dodger. We got Eagle looking good. It's holding cabin pressure and it picked up about 2 feet per second from that jettison.
- Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
I believe that. I can see some cracks on the outer coating around the tunnel. In the thermal protective covering, I don't think it has anything to do with the structure.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Hello, Columbia, Houston. We'll have an attitude and a little blip burn for you in about 130 30, so we can separate from Eagle. Over.
- Charlie Duke (CAPCOM)
-
Columbia, Houston. Would you start a maneuver to a pitch of 230 for this little tweak burn? Over.
