Spacelog Apollo 11

I don't remember. Just that the Kapton and other parts on the LM staging scattering all around the area for great distances, but I didn't see much dust.

Houston, Apollo 11. Could you keep me honest on the lithium hydroxide changes? When do you have the next one scheduled for?

Stand by.

Apollo 11, Houston. Mike, on that canister, we had you due to change one at 133 before TEI, and it's on page 399. The next one we got is at 147. Over.

Hello, Apollo 11, Houston. We'd like to extend our damping period for another 5 minutes; let the rates get way down. Over.

Houston, Apollo 11.

Go ahead, 11. Over.

Roger, Charlie. Like to bring you up to date on our chlorination status. In compartment B4, we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven—correction, we have eight pockets for chlorine and buffer ampules, of which—Let me correct that. We have seven pockets, of which one is empty and always has been empty, leaving six remaining. On the other side over there in B7, we have another container with seven pockets, so we have a total of seven plus six, and those are filled with six chlorines and seven buffers. Now, I've been using one chlorine and one buffer per day which, at this point in time, prior to this chlorination I'm about to do, leaves me one chlorine and two buffers. Seems to me I'm one chlorine short, and that being the case, I'd like to ask your advice on postponing this chlorination using the last container until some later date, like maybe tomorrow. Over.

Roger. We copy, Mike. Stand by.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. Check in A1, Mike, and see what you can find in there. Over.

We think you might have some more chlorine up in A1. Over.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston.

Houston, Apollo 11.

Apollo 11, Houston. Do you read? You're breaking up. Over.

Roger. Read.

Roger, 11. You're breaking up. Mike, please look in compartment A1. We think there might be some more chlorine up there. Over.

Eureka!

11, Houston. We're having a downlink problem. That's the reason we can't read you. We're switching sites. Stand by.

Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. How do you read now? Over.

Fine.

Roger. You're five by now, too, Mike. Thank you much. Did you copy that about A1 on that chlorine?

Eureka!

Apollo 11, Houston. We're having a little trouble getting the yaw rate damped out to the appropriate value. We'd like you all to be quite like mice for a couple of minutes and let's see if that will help it out. Over.

11, Houston. You did great work there. We're ready to spin it up. Over.

11, Houston. Did you copy? Over.

Yes. We read you, Charlie. Would you stand by a minute?

Roger. No hurry.

11, Houston. Shift change time, here. White Team bids you good night; we'll see you tomorrow. Over.

Good night, Charlie. Thank you.

Good night, Charlie. Thank you.

Adios.

Adios. Thanks again for a great show, you guys.

Apollo 11, Houston. Over.

Good morning, Ron.

Howdy there, Mike. We're ready to go ahead and have you switch to your OMNI positions for your sleep period, and we would like the following high gain switch positions: your high gain antenna in MANUAL, beam width WIDE, pitch is minus 50, and yaw is a plus 270. And just follow the flight plan for remaining COMM configuration. Over.

Roger. Out.

You “Purple” people keep funny hours.
