Spacelog Apollo 11

Roger. The computer is yours now. Looks like you're in VHF range, here. So we'll try a VHF check for you. We'll just send VHF up to you. Stand by.

Okay.

Apollo 11, Houston. VHF check on Simplex Alfa. Over.

Roger, Houston. Apollo 11, VHF Simplex Alfa, loud and clear. How me? Over.

Roger, 11. Houston. You're loud. The standard VHF noise, though, makes you realize that S band is good.

Roger. Understand. Thank you.

Apollo 11, Houston. Backup S band now, and we're standing by for command module RCS activation.

Okay. We're just about there.

Apollo 11, Houston, you're GO for PYRO ARM.

Thank you, Houston.

Apollo 11, Houston. Your command module pressurization looks mighty fine to us.

Looks good here, Ron.

And 11, Houston, I've got an update for about four items on your entry PAD.

Ready to copy.

Roger. Your MAX g, 063; your NOUN 60, your Gamma, at 400K, 648; your range to go on the EMS, 14033; and your RETRO time for V circular, 02 14. Over.

Roger. Copy MAX g 6.3; R2 at NOUN 60, 6.48; range to go, EMS, 14033; RET V circular, 02 14. Over.

Houston, Apollo 11.

Apollo 11, Houston. GO.

Roger. The first horizon check 194 23 06 at a pitch angle of 298 does not quite fall on the 31 7 line. It's just a little high. It's within 5 degrees tolerance.

Apollo 11, Houston. The horizon check there was supposed to be at 33. Over.

Okay. That's fine, sir. Thank you.

Apollo 11, Houston. Command module RCS looks fine to us.

Same here, Ron. Looks very good. Doesn't make as much noise as we thought. Some of them are barely audible.

Roger.

And 11, Houston. Weather still holding real fine in the recovery area.

Roger.

Looks like it's about 1500 scattered, high scattered. And it's still 3 to 6 foot waves.

Hey, that part of it sounds good.

Roger.

11, Houston, I'll give you another Mark at 33 minutes. Stand by.

MARK.

Roger. Well, the time is 36 41. And stand by for some settings.

Okay. I'll probably only be doing it maybe—part of it at six frames a second, some it at one. So I could be changing settings as it goes through.

Roger. Copy.

And the horizon check passes; it's right on the money.

Hey, mighty fine. Sounds good.

Apollo 11, Houston. On the shooting at the Sun, f:16th at 1 over 250.

Understand f:16 at 1 over 250.

Roger.

And the Sun is going down on schedule. It's getting real dark in here.

Apollo 11, Houston. We see you getting ready for SEP. Everything looks mighty fine down here.

Same here, Ron. Thank you.

Apollo 11, Houston. You're still looking mighty fine from here. You're cleared for landing.

We appreciate that, Ron. Thank you.

Roger. Gears down and locked.
