Spacelog Apollo 11

Thank you.

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.

Roger that.

And I'm standing by to go to P47 just as soon as you give me a go for PYRO ARM.

Roger. I thought we gave you that. Mike, you're GO for PYRO ARM and you're GO for jettison.

Okay.

Okay. Let her go in 10 seconds.

Copy. Out.

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.

Roger, can you kind of stationkeep with it, Mike? Just stand by now.

Will do.

Columbia, Houston. Don't try to chase it, just hold what you've got.

Charlie, did it hold cabin pressure this time?

Say again, Buzz. Over.

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?

Stand by. That's affirmative. You can exit P47.

There she goes. It was a good one.

Roger dodger. We got Eagle looking good. It's holding cabin pressure and it picked up about 2 feet per second from that jettison.

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.

Roger.

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.

Columbia, Houston. Would you start a maneuver to a pitch of 230 for this little tweak burn? Over.

Roger. Pitch 230.

Roger, Mike. And verify track mode in AUTO for the high gain.

We're in REACQ. Is that all right?

Say again. We need AUTO.

Say again. We're in REACQ—AUTO REACQ.

Roger. We need AUTO, please, sir.

Okay. You got it.

Roll zero, pitch 320, yaw zero?

Right now that's what we're looking at. Stand by. We might have you roll so we can keep the high gain. Stand by.

Roger.

Columbia, Houston. Over.

Go ahead.

Roger, Mike —

Apollo 11, these days.

Oh, Roger, Apollo 11. We got you going to a posigrade attitude and we want you—this burn will be using minus X thrusters at about 2 or 3 feet per second, and we got a load for you. We'll send it up momentarily. Over.

Okay.

Apollo 11, Houston. Would you give us P00 and ACCEPT? We have a load for you. Over.

You got it.

Roger, Mike. And our pitch attitude's a little wrong here. If you're ready to copy, I'll give you the SEP PAD. Over.

Go ahead. Ready to copy.

Roger. Starting with NOUN 33: 130 30 0000, plus 00020, plus all zeros, plus all zeros. Roll all zeros, pitch 230, yaw zero. NOUN 44 is NA. DELTA-VP 00020, burn time 007, DELTA-VC 00020. We have—The rest of the PAD is NA.

Roger. GET 130 hours 30 minutes, DELTA-VX 2.0, roll zero, pitch 230, yaw zero, DELTA-VC, 2.0.

That's affirmative, Apollo 11. And, Mike, it's similar to the SEP burn prior to flight after the undocking here. And the P41 you should see on register 1—2, and then you burn minus X until you read 4. Over.

Apollo 11, Houston. Computer's yours. Over.

Roger, Charlie. We switched our OMNI D—Delta, and I lost that last transmission. Would you say again, please? The thing I'm wondering about specifically is that earlier you said it would be minus X thrusters and the PAD indicates plus X. Do you want me to null that to zero or do you want to add 2 and leave it as a 4?

Roger, Apollo 11. The way we gave it to you in the attitude we're in, it'll be just like the SEP burn that you had yesterday. You'll see—NOUN 85 will give you a plus 2 and then you just burn minus X until you read 4. Over.

Understand.

Apollo 11, Houston. We see you in P41 now. It might take you a couple of minutes to integrate these vectors that we gave you and if you don't make TIG, it's pretty insensitive. You can just let P41 bring you up to TIG, and when you get to zero, you can burn on that. Over.

Okay. Burn complete. Residuals: plus three balls 40, plus four balls 7, plus four balls 2, DELTA-V counter 102.1. Over.

Copy, Apollo 11. Looks good to us. Over.

Houston, Apollo 11. How about coming up with a good communications attitude for us to go to between now and the time we maneuver at TEI attitude.

Roger, sir. Stand by.

Hello, Apollo 11, Houston. A couple of things for you. Over.

Go ahead.

Okay. Mike, you can maneuver to your preliminary TEI attitude as shown on page 398 of the flight plan, and the high gain angles are good as shown in the flight plan, and we'd like you to dump the waste water at 131 05 down to 10 percent. Over.

Okay. Understand. I'm going to go to roll 1.1, pitch zero—or 52.6, and yaw 13.8, and you want a waste water dump 10 percent starting at 131 05.

That's affirmative. Right out the LOS.

Maneuver is in progress, Houston.

Apollo 11 under high gain. How do you read?

Five by, 11. How me? Over.

You're loud and clear, Charlie. What—What numbers are you looking at for TEI TIG preliminary; 135 hours 23 minutes, something like that?

That's affirmative, Mike. We're looking at about nominal time. We've considered kicking it up a REV, but we don't think this REV track is going to be any good since we had the RCS burn and we need some more tracking to get you a good TEI. Over.

That's what we're looking for.

Roger.

11, Houston. Looks like it's going to be pretty relaxed time here for the next couple of hours. We'll have you a PAD, of course, the next REV or so, and we'll keep you posted on TEI. Looks like nominal time. Over.

Thank you, Charlie.

And your little maneuver back here a moment ago will put you about 20 miles ahead of the LM at TEI.

Okay.
