Spacelog Apollo 11

Understand.

And, 11, Houston. For your information, Eagle, we had an ISS fail light came on at about 3 19 due to a CDU overheating; and at about this time at AOS it looks like we're about to lose the platform.

Apollo 11, Houston. We got the load in. You can have the computer —

11. Are you through with the computer?

That's affirmative, Buzz.

All right. That's timing for you.

And, Apollo 11, Houston. Your friendly White Team has your coming home information, if you're ready to copy. Over.

Stand by.

Apollo 11. Ready to copy.

Roger. TEI 30, SPS/G&N: 36691, minus 061, plus 066 135 23 4156, plus 32011, plus 06 818, minus 02650, 181 054 014; apogee NA, plus 00230 32836 228 32628 42 1511 357, NA three lines, plus 1103, minus 17237 11806 36275 195 04 52, Deneb and Vega, 242 172 012, two jet ullage, 16 seconds, horizon out of the window, 10 degrees, TIG minus 2 minutes, sextant star at 134 10. Over.

Roger, Buzz. Good readback. You're very weak. If you're ready to copy, I got a TEI 31 for you. Over.

All right. Go ahead.

Apollo 11, Houston. You were cut out. Say again.

Roger.

All right. Go ahead. I'm ready to copy.

Roger, 11. TEI 31, SPS/G&N: 36691, minus 061, plus 066 137 22 3985, plus 32838, plus 06845, minus 02487, NA, pitch 052. Rest of the PAD is NA. Ready for your readback. Over.

Roger. TEI 31, SPS/G&N: 36691 minus 061, plus 066, 137 22 3985, plus 32838, plus 06845, minus 02487, NA, pitch 052. The rest is NA. Over.

Roger. Good readback. And, Buzz, did you say sextant star is visible after 134 50?

No. I wrote down 134 10. I wasn't real sure about that.

Roger. It went by me there. RETRO caught it. It's 134 50. Over.

Okay. 134 50. Thank you.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. After the burn, we'd like you to trim X and Z. Over.

Okay, Charlie.

Roger. And that's to 0.2 foot per second, as shown in the flight plan.

Sounds like there's a story behind that one, too.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Would you verify that you've stirred up the CRYO's? Over.

Roger.

Hey, Charlie boy, looking good here. That was a beautiful burn. They don't come any finer.

Roger.

Apollo 11, Houston. I wondered if you've compared your state vector accuracy with the one in the LM flights? Over.

Yes, sir, and it looked very nice. VERB 83 was plus 00070 and minus 00008.

Roger.

11, Houston. I was looking at your bank Bravo nitrogen tank. It didn't leak a bit—correction—didn't leak a bit this time. Over.

Roger. Looked good here.

Chamber pressure was hanging in there around 100. The latter part, of the burn it started oscillating a little bit and got down a little bit below 100.

Roger.

96 or so.

Apollo 11, Houston. Would you give us P00 in ACCEPT? We've got a REFSMMAT for you. Over.

Okay.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We've got the load in. You can go back to BLOCK. Over.

We're there.

Roger.

Your command module film seems to be working out pretty well, Charlie, the amount we carried. Looks like we carried just about what we needed.

Wonderful.

We have one 16 millimeter roll on the ASA 1000 color interior film. We were thinking of shooting that during the entry, out window number 4 on a bracket, and you might get the camera guide sometime in the next couple of days and give us all the good settings for that.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. I wondered if during the TEI burn you utilized the oxidizer flow valve on the PUGS. Over.

Yes, we did. Based on your very excellent briefing I was expecting the thing to continue desiring increase for the whole time, so we started out with it in INCREASE. I saw that we pretty quickly crossed the line and started falling about 6 or 7 percent behind, so I was still expecting it to move up, and then I went down to FULL DECREASE and brought it back down to a difference of 2 percent. Over.

Roger. Thank you very much, Buzz.

Two tenths of a percent, I'm sorry.

Apollo 11, Houston. You can go to PTC attitude and torque at your—and do the P52 and torque at your convenience. Over.

Hey, we got to take some more pictures, Charlie. Is there any constraint, normally, in staying here for awhile?

No, sir.

Go ahead, 11. Over.

How does that tracking look, or is it too early to tell?

Stand by, Mike.

Apollo 11, Houston. FIDO's are looking at the data. It's too early to tell yet exactly. It's looking real good so far. We'll have you some answers shortly on trajectory. Over.

Okay. What FIDO is that?

That's Jay Green.

Howdy, Jay.

11, Houston. We have a DAP CSM update for you.

Go ahead.

Roger. CSM weight, Mike: 26370. Over.

Thank you, sir.

Welcome.

Apollo 11, Houston. We've taken your onboard vector and propagated it forward, and it's looking real good. We only got about 24 minutes of tracking now. Really too early to tell on the radar. Over.
