Spacelog Apollo 11

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Mike, did you notice any transients at ignition on TEI? Over.

Yes. The transients were more noticeable than on the previous burns, Charlie. I just wrote it off on the fact we had a light command module, but there was considerable roll activity which dampened down after the first 20 seconds, I would guess, of the burn; but then there was also some pitch and yaw activity. I don't believe it was abnormal, and it seemed to be deadbanding ratherly crisply in roll plus or minus about 8 degrees either side of the center line; and after the first couple of—oh, after the first 20 seconds or so, the gimbals were quiet, and pitch and yaw were relatively quiet. Before that, there was some oscillation but mostly just in rates. Total attitude hung in there pretty well.

Roger. Thank you much. We were looking at the playback, and we saw some things that—right at start up. We'll be back with you later on that.

Apollo 11, Houston. Have you finished taking pictures? Over.

We're just finishing up, Charlie.

Roger.

About to get started on the P52 here pretty soon.

Copy.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. You can crank up on the PTC at any time. Over.

All right-o.

Apollo 11, Houston.

Go ahead, Houston.

Roger, 11. This is the original CAP COM. Congratulations on an outstanding job. You guys have really put on a great show up there. I think it's about time you powered down and got a little rest, however. You've had a mighty long day here. Hope you're all going to get a good sleep on the way back. I look forward to seeing you when you get back here. Don't fraternize with any of those bugs enroute except for the Hornet.

Okay. Thank you, boss. We'll—We're looking forward to a little rest and a restful trip back. And see you when we get there.

Roger. You've earned it.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. We'd like you to turn off O₂ tank number 1 heaters. Over.

It's off. Thank you.

Roger.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. For your information, the LGC in Eagle just went belly up at 7 hours. Over.

Okay. Very good, … death of a real winner, there.

Charlie, we're going to rotate about pitch 270 degrees on the way home vice 1—or 090 on the way out. Right?

Right, sir.

Okay. VERB 49 maneuver to that attitude is in progress.

Roger.

Houston, crew status report. Radiation: CDR 11017, CMP 10019, LMP 09020. No medication.

Say again, please, Neil. We—you were breaking up. We missed that. Over.

Okay. This is crew status report. Radiation: CDR 11017, CMP 10019, LMP 09020. No medication.

Roger. Thank you.

And we didn't get any crew status report from you this morning. Wondered if you could give us an estimate of sleep last night. Over.

Okay …

Okay. We'll take a guess, Charlie, and try to give an equivalent amount. Oh, it's CDR 3, and LMP 4.

And, Charlie, you want the fans cycled … Right?

That's affirmative, and we'd like you to disable quads Charlie and Delta. Over.

Okay. Charlie and Delta.

Apollo 11, Houston. If it's convenient, we'd like to go through your onboard readout. Over.

Of what?

Oh, excuse me. It's on the flight plan, 3102. We'd like BATTS and RCS. Over.

Stand by.

Ready to copy, Houston?

Roger. Go ahead.

BATT Charlie 370, PYRO BATT A 370, BATT B 370; RCS, 55, 65, 64, and 62. Over.

Roger. We copy all that. Thank you much.

Apollo 11, Houston. A couple of questions for the Moon walkers, if you got a second. Over.

Go ahead.

Roger, Neil. We're seeing some temperature rises on the passive seismic experiment that are a little higher than normal and were wondering if you could verify the deployed position. We understand it's about 40 feet from the LM in the eleven o'clock position. Over.
