information which UH was for contingency transearth injection burns UH if required shortly after
in orbit. In DECITIONI insertion,O, what's go back? Now?
(07:46):
How have I not this? Here'sthe number? I'd you go ahead your
roger at uh G ET of seventyfour thirty. We'd like you to cycle
the fans in all four cryo tanksand position the heaters in all four cryo
(08:11):
tanks to the auto position. We'redoing this in advance of LI in order
to ensure that you don't have anydestratification as a result of the burn,
which might result in giving you amaster caution and warning during the burnover.
(08:31):
Okay, with that, you wantus to cycle the heaters and turn cycle
of fans and turn all the leaderson all the heaters to auto cycle of
fans at seventy four to thirty abouttwenty five minutes from now over. Okay,
(09:03):
s school School School school School.This is Apollo control at seventy four
(11:52):
hours, eight minutes. Apollo elevenis four thousand, six hundred twenty five
note a miles away from the moonvelocity four thousand, seven hundred sixty five
feet per second, where one hourthirty two minutes away from loss of signal
(12:13):
as Aboly eleven goes behind the moon, and we're about uh one hour forty
one minutes away from the yellow Eyenumber one burn. School scho Choo Choo
(18:23):
Choo choo English school name school ChoCho Chi experience. This is Apollo control
(35:51):
at seventy four hours thirty two minutesand Apollo eleven is traveling at velocity of
three thousand. Stand by, we'vegot a static display here. Eleven.
(38:02):
This is Houston Radio check over eleven. Roger eleven guerenoms ight to Pau eleven.
(38:30):
So I have eleven. I apparentlyit was not a very good uh
homing attitude for you. Uh,we're ready to start our DDV check eleven.
(39:12):
This is Houston. We're ready,except that we'd like to get the
high gain antenna prior to this testour Uh. Hey, here's couple of
playing angles. Roger, from anattitude uh with sixty degrees, roll around
to an attitude of roll zero fiveeight inertial with the pitch plus thirty,
(39:38):
and you are to seventy on thehigh gain antenna. Thank you, okay,
(40:12):
years, I put back interesting memberschoo us most English. I follow
(54:15):
eleven. I'll follow eleven. Ifthe Houston Radio jack overs, I'll follow
eleven. I'll follow eleven. Ifthe Houston Radio jack overs, I follow
(54:52):
eleven. If the Houston deary itovers, tis your lad's fare, Roger,
we're reading you week, but Clairehi, Roger, we put our
our role uh for a missed intrack in and the wrong sign kind of
(55:16):
continue rolling around till we get hygienehere and we'll delete the UH. The
pitch was scheduled after the TVC check. UH to say again plays eleven,
Roger won put the wrong sign udgingfor the role correction to get missed in
(55:40):
the high game, and we're continuingrolling around to get the proper attitude for
high game. At this time,we will delete the pitch maneuver that was
scheduled subsequent to subsequent to the tvcheck, since we already have those pictures,
H Roger, we copy and UHand we recommend that UH, you
(56:12):
go ahead and complete your TVC teston board. If you have problems,
UH, we'll talk to you whenyou get around further into the high gain
antenna attitude over rocher CHO school schoolSCHO m s S the HI read on
(01:02:14):
High Game, so I didn't.We're on High Game eleven. Alight,
you're work leading. So this isapollow control. That's seventy five hours into
(01:03:19):
the mission. Apollow eleven is twothousand, two hundred forty one nautical miles
away from the moon velocity five thousand, five hundred twelve feet per second,
where forty one minutes away from lossof signal as WELLOW eleven goes behind the
moon where forty nine minutes away fromthe lunar orbit insertion maneuver number one.
(01:04:38):
Choo school, I follow eleven.It says inton, we observed your gimbal
(01:06:39):
tests down here and look good tous over I could look at you.
(01:07:48):
Po cholo stool st wine. Thisis Apollo Control. It's seventy five hours,
(01:18:19):
fifteen minutes and the mission Apollo elevensA distance from the moon now is
fifteen hundred sixteen nautical miles one thousand, five hundred sixteen nautical miles, velocity
five thousand, nine hundred eighty onefeet per second. Cho m h cockle
(01:22:00):
all even this is here's in radiocheck over five clip all right here and
your systems are looking good from downhere. Yeah, let's get up here,
cupid en Choo, choo choo.This is Apollo Control. At seventy
(01:29:35):
five hours, twenty six minutes,we're fifteen minutes away from loss of signal.
Apollo eleven is nine hundred sixty sixmiles from the moon velocity six thousand,

(01:33:45):
follow eleven that is Houston over.I think ahead Houston follow eleven eleven that
is Houston. You are Gopher ELOIover rocher go for LOI and we're showing
about ten minutes and thirty seconds toLS. I would like to remind you
(01:34:08):
to enable the BD roll and theOTO RCS switches over Roger and confirm you
want BPM low going over the helloverdefirmative eleven DA. That was buzz Aldrin
(01:34:46):
confirming the go if you want toput it back to hind so just before
he los over a negative eleven okayfor now, I h M back something
(01:38:01):
us give. Then you want togive me a time check, please regidess.
(01:39:08):
I'll give you a mark at thirteenminutes and thirty seconds to ignition,
okay, and then and then aGG please now stand lament. I'll give
(01:39:45):
you a time hack on g ETat seventy five hours thirty seven minutes,
and I'll try to buyas at abouta second and a half to a while
for the time of lightness Okay,stand by, mark seventy five hours thirty
(01:40:06):
seven minutes of g et. Thankyou, and I'll give you a time
act on a time to ignition attwelve minutes to ignition orders. Okay,
(01:40:47):
stand by for a market take minustwelve n you mark, take minus twelve.
Hell right now, I'm great,Thank you, Right, are out.
(01:41:32):
We're three minutes away from loss ofsignal and about eleven is four hundred
twenty five nautical miles from the moon. Velocity seven thousand, three hundred and
sixty eight feet per second eight ninetysix thousand, twelve pounds two minutes.
(01:42:31):
They'll elect fallow eleven. This isHouston. All your systems are looking good.
(01:43:40):
Going around the corner, and we'llsee you on the other side of
it. A right, everything looksokay up here, right, you out,
(01:44:45):
and we've had loss of signal.As Apollo eleven goes behind the moon,
we were showing a distance to themoon of three hundred nine nautical miles
at los velocity seventh thu I wasin six hundred and sixty four feet per
second. Weight I was ninety sixthousand, twelve pounds, or seven minutes
(01:45:11):
forty five seconds away from the yellowEye number one burn, which will take
place behind the Moon out of communicationshere in the control center UH, two
members of the backup crew, BillAnders Jim Level have joined Bruce McCandless at
(01:45:38):
the UH capcom console UH. FredHayes, the third member of the backup
crew UH, has just come intoand Deeke Slayton, director of Flight Crew
Operations, is at that console.The viewing room is filling up UH UH.
(01:46:00):
Among those we've noticed on the frontrow in the viewing room UH are
astronauts Tom Stafford, John Glenn,Jeene Cernon, Dave Scott, al Worden,
and Jack Swaggert. With a goodUH leonorbit insertion burn, the Madrid
(01:46:34):
station should acquire Apollo eleven at seventysix hours, fifteen minutes twenty nine seconds.
Acquisition time for no burn seventy sixhours, five minutes thirty seconds l
(01:50:03):
NA. This is Apollo control atseventy five hours, forty nine minutes Abobo
(01:53:00):
eleven should have started UH this longburn duration six minutes two seconds del TOV
two thousand, nine hundred seventeen feetper second. Given that burn, we
(01:53:20):
expect UH an orbit of sixty oneby one hundred sixty nine point two nautical
miles. We're twenty four and ahalf minutes away from acquisition of signal with
(01:54:03):
a good burn for well the clock. The clock has not yet started counting
for the other acquisition time. We'lltake this line down now, come back
up just prior to the acquisition timeUH for O burn. This is Mission
Control, Houston. We'll stand bym where past the no burn acquisition time
(01:56:06):
now, and we have received nosignal. It's very quiet here in the
(01:56:48):
control room. Most of the controllersseated at their consoles if you standing up,
but very quiet seven minutes from acquisitiontime. If Apollo eleven achieved only
(01:59:30):
a partial burn, we could receivea signal any any time, so we'll
continue to stay up until acquisition timeof seventy six hours, fifteen minutes,
twenty nine seconds, and that timeis the initial UH acquisition time. It
(02:00:10):
could take a little longer to lockon to the signal of four voice communications
(02:01:24):
four minutes away. Now, thereare a few conversations taking place here in
(02:02:14):
the control room, but not verymany UH. Most of the people sitting
quietly watching and listening, not talking. That noise is just bringing up the
(02:03:45):
system. We have not acquired asignal. We're a minute and a half
away from my acquisition time about thirtysacks Madrid AOS R Madrid AOS your kids
(02:05:54):
or a telemetry indicates that the crewis working on the antenna angles to UH
(02:06:39):
bring the high game antenna the beargive are the kids that you ever made?
You? Weekly? You cat youpeople? W I follow eleven,
(02:11:26):
I'll follow eleven. Mister Houston,how do you read be you? I'm
Claire, You're now d you're readingyou the same? Now? Could you're
a feature? Burn satus report.We copied the residuals in burnteime and that
was about it. Then the wholething again. Please it was right,
It was right, perfect sure heltatake zero burn time five fifty seven uh

(02:12:18):
you know, six zero point nineby one sixty nine point nine.
Roger. We got to ye burnsetus report and the spacecraft is looking good
to us on telemetry. Thank everything, Let's get up here. Burn report
(02:12:50):
was by Neil Armstrong. Change justfis si fat. This is uput of
(02:16:52):
control. We're showing spacecraft weight andlunar arbit seventy two thousand and four pounds.
(02:18:13):
Choos such sun my man, notno, not no, not no,
(02:22:35):
not no man, not my bbut that as anything yell. Follow
(02:24:20):
eleven is getting expert view of thelanding approach. This time we're going over
the Rountius craters and the pictures andmap's brought back by follow Baydon been giving
us a very good review of whatto look at here looks very much like
(02:24:43):
the pictures, but like the differencebetween watching a real football game and one
on DV not never destitute for actuallybeing there, Roger, we send her
and we're certainly wish we could seeat firsthand. Also that was Neil Armstrong.
(02:25:18):
We're going over a mess a seriesof craters right at time, looking
vertically down on them, and FAA, we can see good sized blocks in
the bottom of the crater. Idon't know what our altitude is now,
but and in case it are prettygood sized blocks. Okay, just roughly
(02:25:43):
it looks like you're about one hundredand twenty miles or one hundred and thirty
miles right now. Likes one hundredand twenty seven miles. What a dog
(02:26:58):
now the I point now over secheinsight, yeah, h forever Mount Maryland
(02:27:35):
for present time at a technician point, Roger, thank you, and h
our. Preliminary tracking data for thefirst few minutes shows you in a sixty
one point six by a one sixnine er point five. Little bit over
all right, I think, andJim is smiling him cho school school ch
(02:30:01):
nything, I follow eleven. Thisis Houston over go ahead eleven Houston.
(02:31:22):
During your SPS burn as played backon tape down here, we've observed the
nitrogen tank bravel pressure in the SPSsystem dropping a little bit more than we
anticipated. It's holding steady right now. We'll continue to watch it and keep
you posted if anything comes up.Over all right, you thank you,
(02:31:48):
and it has helped prepparently going overmask on math okay, big hill,
the island sidewinder, look in themask in w a R around checkpoint and
just coming into the terminator. Atat the terminator, it's ashen gray as
(02:32:15):
you gets farther away from the terminatorit gets to be a lighter gray and
as you get closer to the subsolarpoint you can definitely see browns and bands
in the ground. Party too whileto follow live ann provisionary Roger eleven.
(02:32:35):
We're recording your comments for past thirty. Okay again that was Neil Armstrong with
the report in the background gives usbeing compromised and the landing site is well
(02:33:05):
into the dark here. I don'tthink we're going to be able to see
anything in the landing site. This'searly the follow eleven. This this is
(02:33:26):
Houston. When you have a freeminute, could you give us your onboard
readout of IN two tank Brabel please, And we'd like to make sure you
understand that ever since you stopped thrustingwith the SPS, the temperature in this
tank has remained steady. Over makethat the pressure has remain steady. Vanderstand
(02:33:52):
tank pressure has stayed steady. Thanks. All right. Here we're showing the
in T tank pressure and problem tobe uh nineteen fixie something like that and
uh alpha is uh about twenty twoabout twenty two fifty over Roger well show
(02:34:18):
up twenty two forty nine A Alphanineteen forty six. Down here, okay,
(02:35:03):
school school school choo choo choosing schoolone school choosing schools chet estants here
(02:43:00):
to the ball eleven. How aboutuh coming up with some row pitching your
angles? At which to stop?Is the so called or break that I'm
doing? I understand by eleven foryou in a minute? Was okay?
(02:43:33):
And uh time to stop off upat shitting the cho school Apollo eleven.
(02:46:16):
This is Houston, aren't Roger.We'll show you in the flight plan staying
in orbital rate until about seventy ninehours ten minutes. Do you have some
particular attitude or reason for wanting togo in Urtiliban? No? I fine,
(02:46:41):
didn't want to confirm that. Don'tset me nine ten and we'll wait
around here normany oh, Roger,And we've got an observation you can make
if you have some time up there. There's been some lunar transient events reported
in the vicinity of Aristarkus over Protic. We just went into space at darkness.
(02:47:13):
Until then we couldn't see a thingdown below us. But now a
lot with earthshim with visibility is allthere. Well, looking back behind me,
now I can see the grona fromwherever two sat and looking at the
map into what we can find around. Okay, yea Aristarkus is at Tango
(02:47:37):
Echo niner on your ato charge.It's about three hundred and ninety four miles
north of track. However, atyour present altitude, which is about one
hundred and sixty seven nautical miles,it ought to be over that is within
view on your horizon twenty three degreesnorth forty seven west. And let me
(02:48:03):
take a look and see if yousee anything worth noting up there over sad
drop. That was buzz Aldran discussingthe earth shine nations, and eight and
(02:52:39):
eleven it might help it a littlebit if you could give up pay uh
time of crossing forty five Well,I'd say again please uh eleven s uh
(02:53:01):
you might uh give us a timeof crossing a forty five west and then
well, uh I went to startchurch at Prayer Starcus or Roger. You'll
be crossing forty five west at uhseventy seven oh four ten or about uh
forty seconds from now, over thirtyseconds from now. Okay, that's that's
(02:53:26):
nice, all right to follow eleven, let me lose the yes and we'd
(02:54:31):
like to get Omni Charlie from youand update my last that seventy seven oh
four was the time when Oris Darkasshould become visible over your horizon. Seventy
seven twelve is the point of closestapproach south of it over. Okay,
(02:54:52):
that sounds better because Richard two pointbran Copernicus alot bettigo, all right,
can we show you about twenty sevendegrees longitude right now? Hurdle now eften
(02:56:45):
when I've dined that up here?Uh, I have no doubt about it
one and then and there and thennext thing, and it could be gone.
How do you recopy set time ensthings? See Apollo eleven at a
(02:58:58):
Houston or less you select Omni Charlieat this time over? Okay, Omni
d try you put a ball outballow eleven if you Houston, go ahead?
(03:01:41):
God you thinks me that uh weuh no orbit of tightly now where
the dars are tightly and in timethe setting of a star or a planet
a very fine degree that uh thismight be a pretty good change of measuring
me. How that right? Mokay? And I'm looking north up Ara
(03:02:28):
Darcus now and uh I can't reallytell at that distance whether I really am
looking at Aradarcus, but as anarea there that is considerably more illuminated that
that's surrounding the area just has seemedto have a quite about a foreference to
(03:02:54):
it, or as a crater canbe seen an area around the crater uh
quite bright alrighter eleven week copy Ieleven uh looking up area now, and
(03:04:01):
it does seem to be reflecting someof the uh Earth time. I'm not
sure whether it was working out tobe about zero phase to uh well at
leap there's one wall of the craterthat seems to be more illuminated than the
others than that one, uh theystart lining up with the earth. Correct,
(03:04:22):
it does seem to uh put itabout a zeral phase. That area
is h definitely uh mind than uhthan anything else that I can see up
when I'm not sure that uh reallyataded my uh any fun correct that uh
(03:04:45):
that that's pepitably lighter than anything elsein adul uh eleven assucution that can you
discern any difference in color of theillumination and uh he is at an inner
or an outer wall of the craterriver right, that's an inner wall of
(03:05:09):
the crater. M hm. Youknow it doesn't appear to be any color
involved in a person. Roger,you say inner wall, that'd be the
uh inner edge of the northern purposes. H. Right now I get to
(03:05:35):
be the inner plight of the Uh. Let's go, let's uh fight the
uh the flint. That would bemore nearly normal lot if you were looking
out of the art, uh eleven, uston, if you use the monocular
(03:05:56):
on this over THEO, I getanother question, but I haven't caught you
(03:07:35):
lived my life and you look atit in some way, but I can't
write it. Uh. What didgive been that way? Uhji that mark
a p take that way? NowI got you. We'll give it a
(03:08:16):
try if we have the opportunity onthat path when we're not in the middle
of lunge trying to find the monocular. Uh, Roger copying you that time,
uh respect the next rep you'll probablybe getting ready for law I too.
(03:08:39):
So uh let's let's wind up,wind it up, and uh we've
got some other things to talk toyou about it if you want. H
Okay. Apollo eleven will be inacquisition for another twenty minutes during its first
(03:09:28):
revolution, of the Moon. Um m m mm hmmmmmm. Apollo eleven
(03:12:18):
is Houston over go ahead, juh eleven, This is Houston. We're
targeting. Were planning to make thel o I to burn now using bank
A only. We'll have the haveI add everything for you next time around.
(03:12:39):
There trying to economize a little onthe bank. Bank B is holy,
no drunderstand yes, come h mhmm, said us.
Chants you just tak about eleven nine. Tend you write a copy Guy one
(02:05):
and Guy four, Uh Regier,I've got the UH one in four pads
here right now. I'll be readyto read him up to you in just

information which UH was for contingency transearth injection burns UH if required shortly after
in orbit. In DECITIONI insertion,O, what's go back? Now?
(07:46):
How have I not this? Here'sthe number? I'd you go ahead your
roger at uh G ET of seventyfour thirty. We'd like you to cycle
the fans in all four cryo tanksand position the heaters in all four cryo
(08:11):
tanks to the auto position. We'redoing this in advance of LI in order
to ensure that you don't have anydestratification as a result of the burn,
which might result in giving you amaster caution and warning during the burnover.
(08:31):
Okay, with that, you wantus to cycle the heaters and turn cycle
of fans and turn all the leaderson all the heaters to auto cycle of
fans at seventy four to thirty abouttwenty five minutes from now over. Okay,
(09:03):
s school School School school School.This is Apollo control at seventy four

(12:13):
as Aboly eleven goes behind the moon, and we're about uh one hour forty

(38:02):
This is Houston Radio check over eleven. Roger eleven guerenoms ight to Pau eleven.
(38:30):
So I have eleven. I apparentlyit was not a very good uh
homing attitude for you. Uh,we're ready to start our DDV check eleven.
(39:12):
This is Houston. We're ready,except that we'd like to get the
high gain antenna prior to this testour Uh. Hey, here's couple of
playing angles. Roger, from anattitude uh with sixty degrees, roll around
to an attitude of roll zero fiveeight inertial with the pitch plus thirty,
(39:38):
and you are to seventy on thehigh gain antenna. Thank you, okay,
(40:12):
years, I put back interesting memberschoo us most English. I follow
(54:15):
eleven. I'll follow eleven. Ifthe Houston Radio jack overs, I'll follow
eleven. I'll follow eleven. Ifthe Houston Radio jack overs, I follow
(54:52):
eleven. If the Houston deary itovers, tis your lad's fare, Roger,
we're reading you week, but Clairehi, Roger, we put our
our role uh for a missed intrack in and the wrong sign kind of
(55:16):
continue rolling around till we get hygienehere and we'll delete the UH. The
pitch was scheduled after the TVC check. UH to say again plays eleven,
Roger won put the wrong sign udgingfor the role correction to get missed in
(55:40):

high game. At this time,we will delete the pitch maneuver that was
scheduled subsequent to subsequent to the tvcheck, since we already have those pictures,
H Roger, we copy and UHand we recommend that UH, you

High Game, so I didn't.We're on High Game eleven. Alight,
you're work leading. So this isapollow control. That's seventy five hours into

the mission. Apollow eleven is twothousand, two hundred forty one nautical miles
away from the moon velocity five thousand, five hundred twelve feet per second,
where forty one minutes away from lossof signal as WELLOW eleven goes behind the

about ten minutes and thirty seconds toLS. I would like to remind you
(01:34:08):
to enable the BD roll and theOTO RCS switches over Roger and confirm you

(01:39:08):
I'll give you a mark at thirteenminutes and thirty seconds to ignition,
okay, and then and then aGG please now stand lament. I'll give

Hell right now, I'm great,Thank you, Right, are out.
(01:41:32):
We're three minutes away from loss ofsignal and about eleven is four hundred
twenty five nautical miles from the moon. Velocity seven thousand, three hundred and
sixty eight feet per second eight ninetysix thousand, twelve pounds two minutes.
(01:42:31):
They'll elect fallow eleven. This isHouston. All your systems are looking good.
(01:43:40):
Going around the corner, and we'llsee you on the other side of
it. A right, everything looksokay up here, right, you out,
(01:44:45):
and we've had loss of signal.As Apollo eleven goes behind the moon,
we were showing a distance to themoon of three hundred nine nautical miles
at los velocity seventh thu I wasin six hundred and sixty four feet per

(01:45:11):
forty five seconds away from the yellowEye number one burn, which will take
place behind the Moon out of communicationshere in the control center UH, two
members of the backup crew, BillAnders Jim Level have joined Bruce McCandless at
(01:45:38):
the UH capcom console UH. FredHayes, the third member of the backup
crew UH, has just come intoand Deeke Slayton, director of Flight Crew
Operations, is at that console.The viewing room is filling up UH UH.
(01:46:00):
Among those we've noticed on the frontrow in the viewing room UH are
astronauts Tom Stafford, John Glenn,Jeene Cernon, Dave Scott, al Worden,
and Jack Swaggert. With a goodUH leonorbit insertion burn, the Madrid
(01:46:34):
station should acquire Apollo eleven at seventysix hours, fifteen minutes twenty nine seconds.
Acquisition time for no burn seventy sixhours, five minutes thirty seconds l
(01:50:03):
NA. This is Apollo control atseventy five hours, forty nine minutes Abobo
(01:53:00):
eleven should have started UH this longburn duration six minutes two seconds del TOV
two thousand, nine hundred seventeen feetper second. Given that burn, we
(01:53:20):
expect UH an orbit of sixty oneby one hundred sixty nine point two nautical
miles. We're twenty four and ahalf minutes away from acquisition of signal with
(01:54:03):
a good burn for well the clock. The clock has not yet started counting
for the other acquisition time. We'lltake this line down now, come back
up just prior to the acquisition timeUH for O burn. This is Mission
Control, Houston. We'll stand bym where past the no burn acquisition time
(01:56:06):
now, and we have received nosignal. It's very quiet here in the
(01:56:48):
control room. Most of the controllersseated at their consoles if you standing up,
but very quiet seven minutes from acquisitiontime. If Apollo eleven achieved only
(01:59:30):
a partial burn, we could receivea signal any any time, so we'll
continue to stay up until acquisition timeof seventy six hours, fifteen minutes,
twenty nine seconds, and that timeis the initial UH acquisition time. It
(02:00:10):
could take a little longer to lockon to the signal of four voice communications
(02:01:24):
four minutes away. Now, thereare a few conversations taking place here in
(02:02:14):
the control room, but not verymany UH. Most of the people sitting
quietly watching and listening, not talking. That noise is just bringing up the
(02:03:45):
system. We have not acquired asignal. We're a minute and a half
away from my acquisition time about thirtysacks Madrid AOS R Madrid AOS your kids

You? Weekly? You cat youpeople? W I follow eleven,
(02:11:26):
I'll follow eleven. Mister Houston,how do you read be you? I'm
Claire, You're now d you're readingyou the same? Now? Could you're
a feature? Burn satus report.We copied the residuals in burnteime and that
was about it. Then the wholething again. Please it was right,
It was right, perfect sure heltatake zero burn time five fifty seven uh

you know, six zero point nineby one sixty nine point nine.
Roger. We got to ye burnsetus report and the spacecraft is looking good
to us on telemetry. Thank everything, Let's get up here. Burn report
(02:12:50):
was by Neil Armstrong. Change justfis si fat. This is uput of
(02:16:52):
control. We're showing spacecraft weight andlunar arbit seventy two thousand and four pounds.
(02:18:13):
Choos such sun my man, notno, not no, not no,
(02:22:35):
not no man, not my bbut that as anything yell. Follow
(02:24:20):
eleven is getting expert view of thelanding approach. This time we're going over
the Rountius craters and the pictures andmap's brought back by follow Baydon been giving
us a very good review of whatto look at here looks very much like
(02:24:43):
the pictures, but like the differencebetween watching a real football game and one
on DV not never destitute for actuallybeing there, Roger, we send her
and we're certainly wish we could seeat firsthand. Also that was Neil Armstrong.
(02:25:18):
We're going over a mess a seriesof craters right at time, looking
vertically down on them, and FAA, we can see good sized blocks in
the bottom of the crater. Idon't know what our altitude is now,
but and in case it are prettygood sized blocks. Okay, just roughly
(02:25:43):
it looks like you're about one hundredand twenty miles or one hundred and thirty
miles right now. Likes one hundredand twenty seven miles. What a dog
(02:26:58):
now the I point now over secheinsight, yeah, h forever Mount Maryland
(02:27:35):
for present time at a technician point, Roger, thank you, and h
our. Preliminary tracking data for thefirst few minutes shows you in a sixty
one point six by a one sixnine er point five. Little bit over
all right, I think, andJim is smiling him cho school school ch
(02:30:01):
nything, I follow eleven. Thisis Houston over go ahead eleven Houston.
(02:31:22):
During your SPS burn as played backon tape down here, we've observed the
nitrogen tank bravel pressure in the SPSsystem dropping a little bit more than we
anticipated. It's holding steady right now. We'll continue to watch it and keep
you posted if anything comes up.Over all right, you thank you,
(02:31:48):
and it has helped prepparently going overmask on math okay, big hill,
the island sidewinder, look in themask in w a R around checkpoint and
just coming into the terminator. Atat the terminator, it's ashen gray as
(02:32:15):
you gets farther away from the terminatorit gets to be a lighter gray and
as you get closer to the subsolarpoint you can definitely see browns and bands
in the ground. Party too whileto follow live ann provisionary Roger eleven.
(02:32:35):
We're recording your comments for past thirty. Okay again that was Neil Armstrong with
the report in the background gives usbeing compromised and the landing site is well
(02:33:05):
into the dark here. I don'tthink we're going to be able to see
anything in the landing site. This'searly the follow eleven. This this is
(02:33:26):
Houston. When you have a freeminute, could you give us your onboard
readout of IN two tank Brabel please, And we'd like to make sure you
understand that ever since you stopped thrustingwith the SPS, the temperature in this
tank has remained steady. Over makethat the pressure has remain steady. Vanderstand
(02:33:52):
tank pressure has stayed steady. Thanks. All right. Here we're showing the
in T tank pressure and problem tobe uh nineteen fixie something like that and
uh alpha is uh about twenty twoabout twenty two fifty over Roger well show
(02:34:18):
up twenty two forty nine A Alphanineteen forty six. Down here, okay,
(02:35:03):
school school school choo choo choosing schoolone school choosing schools chet estants here
(02:43:00):
to the ball eleven. How aboutuh coming up with some row pitching your
angles? At which to stop?Is the so called or break that I'm
doing? I understand by eleven foryou in a minute? Was okay?
(02:43:33):
And uh time to stop off upat shitting the cho school Apollo eleven.
(02:46:16):
This is Houston, aren't Roger.We'll show you in the flight plan staying
in orbital rate until about seventy ninehours ten minutes. Do you have some
particular attitude or reason for wanting togo in Urtiliban? No? I fine,
(02:46:41):
didn't want to confirm that. Don'tset me nine ten and we'll wait
around here normany oh, Roger,And we've got an observation you can make
if you have some time up there. There's been some lunar transient events reported
in the vicinity of Aristarkus over Protic. We just went into space at darkness.
(02:47:13):
Until then we couldn't see a thingdown below us. But now a
lot with earthshim with visibility is allthere. Well, looking back behind me,
now I can see the grona fromwherever two sat and looking at the
map into what we can find around. Okay, yea Aristarkus is at Tango
(02:47:37):
Echo niner on your ato charge.It's about three hundred and ninety four miles
north of track. However, atyour present altitude, which is about one
hundred and sixty seven nautical miles,it ought to be over that is within
view on your horizon twenty three degreesnorth forty seven west. And let me
(02:48:03):
take a look and see if yousee anything worth noting up there over sad
drop. That was buzz Aldran discussingthe earth shine nations, and eight and
(02:52:39):
eleven it might help it a littlebit if you could give up pay uh
time of crossing forty five Well,I'd say again please uh eleven s uh
(02:53:01):
you might uh give us a timeof crossing a forty five west and then
well, uh I went to startchurch at Prayer Starcus or Roger. You'll
be crossing forty five west at uhseventy seven oh four ten or about uh
forty seconds from now, over thirtyseconds from now. Okay, that's that's
(02:53:26):
nice, all right to follow eleven, let me lose the yes and we'd
(02:54:31):
like to get Omni Charlie from youand update my last that seventy seven oh
four was the time when Oris Darkasshould become visible over your horizon. Seventy
seven twelve is the point of closestapproach south of it over. Okay,
(02:54:52):
that sounds better because Richard two pointbran Copernicus alot bettigo, all right,
can we show you about twenty sevendegrees longitude right now? Hurdle now eften
(02:56:45):
when I've dined that up here?Uh, I have no doubt about it
one and then and there and thennext thing, and it could be gone.
How do you recopy set time ensthings? See Apollo eleven at a
(02:58:58):
Houston or less you select Omni Charlieat this time over? Okay, Omni
d try you put a ball outballow eleven if you Houston, go ahead?
(03:01:41):
God you thinks me that uh weuh no orbit of tightly now where
the dars are tightly and in timethe setting of a star or a planet
a very fine degree that uh thismight be a pretty good change of measuring
me. How that right? Mokay? And I'm looking north up Ara
(03:02:28):
Darcus now and uh I can't reallytell at that distance whether I really am
looking at Aradarcus, but as anarea there that is considerably more illuminated that
that's surrounding the area just has seemedto have a quite about a foreference to
(03:02:54):
it, or as a crater canbe seen an area around the crater uh
quite bright alrighter eleven week copy Ieleven uh looking up area now, and
(03:04:01):
it does seem to be reflecting someof the uh Earth time. I'm not
sure whether it was working out tobe about zero phase to uh well at
leap there's one wall of the craterthat seems to be more illuminated than the
others than that one, uh theystart lining up with the earth. Correct,
(03:04:22):
it does seem to uh put itabout a zeral phase. That area
is h definitely uh mind than uhthan anything else that I can see up
when I'm not sure that uh reallyataded my uh any fun correct that uh
(03:04:45):
that that's pepitably lighter than anything elsein adul uh eleven assucution that can you
discern any difference in color of theillumination and uh he is at an inner
or an outer wall of the craterriver right, that's an inner wall of
(03:05:09):
the crater. M hm. Youknow it doesn't appear to be any color
involved in a person. Roger,you say inner wall, that'd be the
uh inner edge of the northern purposes. H. Right now I get to
(03:05:35):
be the inner plight of the Uh. Let's go, let's uh fight the
uh the flint. That would bemore nearly normal lot if you were looking
out of the art, uh eleven, uston, if you use the monocular
(03:05:56):
on this over THEO, I getanother question, but I haven't caught you
(03:07:35):
lived my life and you look atit in some way, but I can't
write it. Uh. What didgive been that way? Uhji that mark
a p take that way? NowI got you. We'll give it a
(03:08:16):
try if we have the opportunity onthat path when we're not in the middle
of lunge trying to find the monocular. Uh, Roger copying you that time,
uh respect the next rep you'll probablybe getting ready for law I too.
(03:08:39):
So uh let's let's wind up,wind it up, and uh we've
got some other things to talk toyou about it if you want. H
Okay. Apollo eleven will be inacquisition for another twenty minutes during its first
(03:09:28):
revolution, of the Moon. Um m m mm hmmmmmm. Apollo eleven
(03:12:18):
is Houston over go ahead, juh eleven, This is Houston. We're
targeting. Were planning to make thel o I to burn now using bank
A only. We'll have the haveI add everything for you next time around.
(03:12:39):
There trying to economize a little onthe bank. Bank B is holy,
no drunderstand yes, come h mhmm, said us.
