Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Apollo Control justin UH. We're nowwithin uh two minutes UH from time of
predicted acquisition of of the Apollo elevenspacecraft. As UH we make uh this
pass UH near side pass on thefourth revolution, UH, it will be
the first time that UH we've transferreduh during this mission to lunar module pilot

(00:26):
UH power and uh UH communications.A check will be performed on the lunar
module. We should be hearing suchthings as long counts UH being given from
the spacecraft. Additionally, a newdisplay UH, the lunar landing site display
is now up for the first timein Mission Control Center this flight. It's

(00:46):
essentially a blow up UH for thelanding sites UH one and two. UH.
We expect it to to stay upuh through the UH time of lunar
landing. Meanwhile, in Mission Controlcenter, UH flight Director Milt Windler UH
beginning to discuss UH with members ofhis flight control team UH items that might

(01:07):
be expected UH after we acquire We'reless than a minute away now at this
time. UH. At this timefrom our forecast acquisition, we'll stand by

(02:00):
standing by now for acquisition. UH. We have acquisition. UH. We're
receiving the telemetry date at this time, Hawaii and Gostone both have acquired Oh

(03:01):
Paula love if you have been workanyboy, al okay you, it will
be done. If you play acouple of minutes a rocker, we copy
all that you're looking good. Thatwas Mike Collins indicating he would UH UH

(03:23):
be doing a little additional landmark tracking. UH. We shall hear further from
it. Surely I don't lo yy y y y y y you.

(08:46):
This is apollow control Houston eighty twohours UH thirty eight minutes down to the
flight of Apollo eleven years only asingle contact UH with UH Apollo eleven.
UH thus farthest pass UH. WhenMike Collins identify he was UH still involved
with a program twenty two the autooptics UH landmark tracking activity. UH.

(09:11):
We expect additional conversation as the UHpath transpires. UH. Presently we're reading
on our orbit displays an altitude ofsixty five point one nautical miles appalloon sixty
five point three nautical miles a paarilloonof UH fifty four nautical miles. We

(09:35):
currently show a velocity on UH theApollo eleven spacecraft of UH fifty three eighteen
feet per second fifty three hundred andeighteen feet per second at eighty two hours
U thirty nine minutes and continuing tomonitor. Uh this is Apollo Control Houston.

(10:01):
Y y y y yaaaaaay na bagand bag bag hopping hands and copping

(15:16):
head. Coppy had had and hadbad bad bad bad day and name name

(16:45):
name name bag bad name name Kthe ball out go as I jae not

(17:34):
do that now lay nine, Ido downlight, but have enough time up
with you. We got it.UH, go ahead, mins. This

(18:06):
is Apollo Control Houston at eighty twohours UH forty eight minutes. UH.
Nowt to the flight Apollo eleven ourUH air ground UH sounding somewhat noisy,
UH this meaning because UH we're utilizingthe omni antenna UH for down link.
UH this a uh a requirement becauseof the attitude UH required for landmark tracking.

(18:27):
UH the program twenty two at UHeighty two hours UH forty eight minutes,
UH continuing to monitor. Uh thisis Apollow Control Houston. Hold you

(20:56):
the weekly around eighty nine. Youcan do the about thirty four hours.
See goods got do it dot ushid them all up. So I had

(22:49):
eleven hours hell all let predator forpeople. Do they work? Uh very
well. The only thanks, uh, there was a little odd is that
there was a damp brudder activity.I had pitched an Excel command role and
y'all and rate command and somehow uhroll and y'all got excited and DAP went

(23:15):
into a blurry of dreader firing.Uh we've not in the same thing in
the DMN. That just drint itoff at the DMFC. All right,
we call that activity, Mike.We'll see if we can cut it down.
Let you know over okay, pfama, I'm a good thing.

(24:15):
You can proceed to if we battyto. Now that's been like guy,
okay, give holding a nurse alittle loudest study there of bucks Atlanta gum

(24:55):
ruggers. Uh. This is ApolloControl Houston at eighty two hours uh fifty

(25:18):
five minutes. Our current uh spacecraftaltitude sixty two point one nautical miles.
Our arbital parameter is essentially the sameUH sixty five point three uh fifty three
point nine. So at uh eightytwo hours uh fifty five minutes, we

(25:41):
continue to monitor and this is ApolloControl Houston hit in the Uh oh I'm

(27:19):
mind me, I'm fall fluting megot mom landing area. I'm Proba'm getting
you were breaking up badly bay againover got dracking petty entire landing area and

(27:40):
the other good time. And I'mlooking out the back window and lay you
can see the entire landing area lookingout for you. I'll have more than
govern that's right. Uh, thisis Apollo Control Houston. Uh. That

(28:02):
was a report from UH lunar modulepilot buzz Aldron that he could see the
entire landing area out the window ateighty two hours, uh fifty eight minutes.
This is Apollo Control Houston. Namethe name n all about to get

(29:40):
the bag in elects all of akid said, now we got a lot

(30:26):
of noise over down way. Wouldyou please that ride your high game?
And uh why they went hang overwhite ve roll over, yell, gave
you three roll over and is upall of us bad areata again? O

(31:00):
it? I like good right betterhawl Okay, you want white name for
them? That's perfect. We gotgood in the canag you're looking right now,
but long along angle fail board here. So when you get white name
over, okay, but we're turning, I'm going over to sleep out it

(31:26):
dude, the little lady to twentynine years sunder the angle to be got
in the play plan would be goodwhen you get there. This is Apollo

(32:45):
Control, Houston at eighty three hours, at two minutes into the flight of
Apollo eleven. Currently we show anappalloon of sixty five point three nautical miles
of pailloon of fifty three point nineUH. We would expect UH the transfer
to UH lunar module power to occurmomentarily and UH from that point on the

(33:07):
UH communications check UH with the lunarmodule eighty three hours, UH three minutes
and standing by. This is ApolloControl, Houston, fifteen eleven, Go

(34:12):
ahead, eleven over. Okay,we're on pitch act Division twelve thirteen,
step four and verify decent talkback prayand they're BARBERA Ball, Rogers and mine

(34:40):
upon eleven Houston. We'd like youto take the lobot the steps, all
three sets in all and over.Hey bye, We've we got it.
We just said one second pactor outof provision. Okay, wait half the
grade now Rogers na na NA,yeah. UH. This is Apollo Control

(37:38):
Houston, UH eighty three hours,UH seven minutes and now to the flight.
Uh we're now receiving that data fromthe lunar module on our displays here
in mission control center. Right nameand name, I'll go look up an

(39:43):
hour. Yeah all right, HeyMike, you haven't been undep. It's

(40:49):
been a ball of a ball ofan eagle. Lover it suck eagle at
the fifty and we regular it.Roger, I read here back four by
park you hear me? Count laRoudger EGO coming in with a short count
one two three four five five fourthree two one getting out over that was

(41:21):
buzz all rudden from the lunar module, using the code name for the first
time that right over black. Wegot some beautiful data here, ego,
where all our guys are looking atit to some guys we'll have to work
for you in a minute. Howeverything look roved with you? Would you
please stand by Ego. We wantto get to the proper fleet attitude before

(41:44):
we profeed on with the contact overan here's an eagle, go ahead,
let be came, I check out. I'm going a low time. I

(42:07):
see him to go while I'm doingthat, bulla bad bye that probably needs

(42:51):
right, we good morning to remindover. Thank you Columbia. This is

(43:17):
Houston. Are you maneuvering to sleepattitude over Eagle? That is Houston.
We have lost all of the voiceand data with Columbia. Would you say
it is maneuvering to sleep attitude overa Mike human? Leave at dude?

(43:51):
I don't believe they can't harry you. Mike. Are you man oubling now
that leave attitude? Here's an eagleUh they call me as my number to

UH voice count exchange between Buzz Aldroand the UH, the l Eagles,

(47:15):
the Lunar Module and UH Charles Dukecar here in Mission control center. I
want you this is a Houston.Would you please give us to an except
we got a a load for you, rank Eagle. We are ready to
go to step four. Please letthat fan boys. The voice over,

(48:20):

mode. We'd like to stay herefor a little bit. Uh. Telemetry

(49:28):
looks great and the voice is greatover alright, I do you understand I'm
checking out uh, Gamma number fouran hour. This is Apollo Control Houston,
our communications check out UH with uhthe Eagle apparently going very well at

(49:52):
this time. Again what you're checkingout over, Roger Houston. Eagle has
sacked out both seventy milimeter cameras andboth sixteen millimeters cameras and all work fine.
Over sounds great, stand by EagleHouston. We've looked over your systems

(50:25):
on the high bit rate. Everythinglooks super. We're ready to go over
Roger stand by. You want togo back a little bit right now,
stand by on that over Eagle,Houston. We looked good through the two

(50:57):
ten on this mode. We're gonnashift the stay to select to an eighty
five foot dig to see what wegot, and then we'll be back three
three on the two ten. Ifyou'll stand by a couple of minutes in
this mode, we'll be back withyou over right there, Ego if anybody

(51:43):
this is Apollo Control Houston, eightythree hours, twenty one minutes and now
out of the flight. Meanwhile,aboard the Eagle, apparently Buzz, Aldroen
and Neil Armstrong, although Buzz isdoing most of the com check at this
time. Ego, Houston, howdo you read? Over Houston? He

(52:19):
gonna reade you lydd and c thereover right away of reading you five five,
We got the voice goods through theeighty five. Uh, the telemetries
in and out through the eighty five. Stand by, we'll be back to
you with with you two through thetwo ten over Ego Houston, you can

(52:54):
go step five now we'd like littlebit right over mh just an eagle cablow
bit Uh write your copy EGO,yeah, Eagle Houston. Could you give

(53:27):
me a short count this mode overjust and this is Ego with a short
count one dude, dream or fivefor one right your eagle, you're five

(53:53):
we'll be standing in standing by inthis mode for a minute or so.
We'll be back with you if you'lljust stand by over what amation nation

(55:52):
do you go with the Houston comingto the tuftain? How do you read
over? I heard you. Ican have Eagle is at Houston. Uh,

(56:43):
we're happy with all our data andall modes, so you can fire
down the car now over, butI can understand that you go fower down
the cop and uh there's busting.Uh twenty seven clothing house looks like,
uh, we won't have to botherwith the my tap right down out rude

(57:07):
your copy out you suttin. Wegot a TE eleven sad for you and
a update on the water dump overhere. Buy one here that firm over
Okay, okay, hum, thisis Apollo Control Houston, eighty three hours

(57:37):
of twenty seven minutes now into theflight Apollo eleven. That last exchange between
h Charlie Duke, our capsule communicatorand UH buzzholder, and the board the
Eagle, identifying that we're very wellsatisfied with the communications, check on the

(57:57):
litter module and UH will proceed withUH powering down the spacecraft at eighty three
hours twenty seven minutes. UH wenow read an altitude of fifty four point
three nautical miles of velocity of UHfifty three hundred and seventy six feet per

(58:22):
second. And this is Apollo Control, Houston. If the clumb you are

(01:02:36):
and Mike will have LS in abouteleven minutes at eighty three and forty four
AOS is eighty four three zero andprior to or at LOS, we would
like you to go to configure thespan for high grain tracks to react high

(01:02:57):
game beam to NARA and let's trythat to see if we can get an
automatic react at the next da OS. Over all right, good idea.
That was Mike mccollins aboard Columbia takingdown a maneuver pad road Apollo eleven,

(01:03:57):
Houston. Also that water that yougot on, yeah, bulkhead. We
if it's not too much, wejust recommend chopping it up and then throwing
the sponges away in the in thewaste storage area. It's too much,
and we recommend using the procedure ina checklist stompage ESPN DASH fourteen over all,

(01:04:23):
I thank you. This is ApolloControl Houston, eighty three hours thirty
four minutes nowt of the flight Apolloeleven. The lunar module communications has has

(01:04:45):
been deactivated. We currently show velocityof fifty three hundred and seventy seven feet
per second. Our orbital parameters nowread sixty five point one nautical miles appalloon
fifty four point two nautical miles paillonat eighty four hours UH thirty five minutes.

(01:05:11):
UH continuing to follow. This isApollo Control Houston, SIS about eleven

(01:07:50):
Houston. When you have a buzz, UH, make sure he gives us
they out the pressure reading before youclose up over twelve there here's been eleven

(01:08:26):
to you hoping you up at threefifty seven fifty both bottle rider. UH.

(01:08:54):
This is Apollo Control Houston eighty threehours UH thirty eight minutes UH Apollow
eleven now and seers and power.This is Apollo Control Houston, ninety three

(01:10:17):
hours UH forty minutes UH. Nowto the flight Apollo eleven. We're UH
less than UH four minutes away nowfrom UH time of UH loss of signal
with UH the Apollo eleven spacecraft.The present time OUR velocity reading UH fifty

(01:10:38):
three hundred and UH seventy five feetper second UH our UH total UH weight
in orbit at this time UH readingseventy thousand, five hundred and two pounds.
OUR orbital parameters UH appalloon sixty fivepoint one nautical miles paarillon fifty four
point two nautical mile. This isapart of control Giston. This is Apollo

(01:13:23):
Control Houston at eighty three hours UHforty three minutes. So now to the
flight Apollo eleven, UH less thana minute away UH from a predicted time
of loss of signal with UH theApollo eleven spacecraft. We expect UH the
next time we acquire Apollo eleven UH, its crew UH Neil Armstrong, Mike
Collins, a buzz Aldrin UH UHwill have begun their rest period and at

(01:13:49):
UH eighty three hours UH forty threeminutes. UH this is Apollo Control Houston.

(01:14:10):
Coman has UH passed out of rangeuh UH with the ground UH traversing
now over the UH far side ofthe moon. UH. During this past
UH we had an extremely successful communicationscheckout UH UH with UH the lunar module
using its code name for the firsttime its code name of the Eagle.

(01:14:32):
UH. Buzz Aldrin UH performed thecounting tasks in concert with Charlie Duke UH,
the capsule communicator here on the groundand at times UH Buzzy's voice in
Buzzy's voice, UH we noted UHconsiderable enthusiasm for the way things are going,
and at times Charlie Duke UH sharedthat enthusiasm. And it's UH maiden

(01:14:58):
checkout in community locations, the lunarmodule Eagle looked good. At eighty three
hours forty five minutes. This isApollo Controlled Houston. This is Apollo Control

(01:15:27):
Houston. At eighty four hours andtwenty eight minutes now into the flight to
Apollo eleven, we're saw less thantwo minutes away now from our scheduled the
time of acquisition with Apollo eleven.Meanwhile, in Mission Control Center. Astronaut
Owen Garriott has now replaced Charlie Dukeas our capsule communicator. UH. We

(01:15:51):
expect that some fine advisories will bepassed to the Apollo eleven crew and final
reports such as cruise status will bereceived from Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins and
buzz Altron prior to the start oftheir sleep period. A little over.

(01:16:14):
We're a little over a minute awaynow from scheduled to time of acquisition.
We'll continue to keep the line upand continue to monitor. This is Apollo
Control Houston, mark thirty seconds nowfrom time of scheduled acquisition by twenty seconds

(01:17:14):
ten seconds. We UH should beacquiring shortly and we're standing by. UH.

(01:17:55):
We have and have data. We'veacquired UH data. All up,
all eleven. This is Apollo ControlHouston and and Garyett getting ready to place

(01:18:30):
a call. Get over eleven,US and Roger reading you fine, and
it looks like the automatic react wentvery well. As soon as you came
around the limb. We have severalsmall items to discuss with you here just
before you go to sleep over badokay eleven. First of all, on

(01:19:00):
our limb systems checks everything went fine. Would like to remind you though tomorrow
you may see and as in pressurelight when you activate the MCNW, there
should be no problem. However,you did the note that the app OX
tank pressure was only reading one oneone psi, which is normal at this

(01:19:23):
point, but below the level whichwill trigger your light due to the helium
which has been dissolved into the propellant. Over Roger, Thank you, Roger.
And the next item, the supercriticalhelium rise rate is a nominal and

(01:19:45):
you also had the questions for usabout your trust your activity during the P
twenty two on the last riv believewe understand that now as you reported your
pictures in excel command and your yawen roll were in rate command, you
were firing your pitch thrusters. Thiswill couple rates into your yaw and roll

(01:20:06):
aaxes and you were at that timeholding only half a degree deadband and coupling
rates into yaw and roll produced theextra firings about the yaw and little axes.
Over. Yeah, I made sureit's very peculiar coupling and that it

(01:20:27):
waits longer than you would think andits reaction is greater than you would think.
We're getting your rates of around fourtenths of a degree per second for
temple Roger, Mike. We didplay the data back and that's the way
it looked upon the analysis of thechart recordings back here over okay, fine,

(01:20:54):
They've also looked at the results ofher landmark tracking the marked all of
Apparently we're very good and we've gotpowerful page of data here relative to the
altitudes of the various site locations,which I won't read up to you,
but I did want to let youknow that the marks apparently went very well.
I also have your consumable budget's,particularly your arts propellant quantities. They're

(01:21:20):
deltas phenomenal if you should want them. Your worst quad is quite Charlie,
which is nine percent low. I'llnot read up to the others unless you
want them over, okay, pillself pers you want that now, I'll
have to stand by this a moment, okay. And then the other one

(01:21:45):
is we're still charging battery a hh uh eleve in uh Houston. Uh

(01:22:46):
we would like to uh delay theuh fuel tell purge until the uh backside
of the moon, and UH youuh go ahead and UH should terminate your
battery charge at this time over okay, I understand, I know we had
another two and H two bridge comingup in the morning. What sure,
What do you want to go throughwith it or not? All wait till

(01:23:09):
the next sacondark that's fine. Thetrially charging now, that's right. In
one other systems item here, inorder to balance your cryo tanks, would
you get your TO tank one andyour H two tanks two heaters off?
Over? Okay, I have twotank heater one off and H two tank

(01:23:41):
heater two. That's right, Mike, And we believe you have your Quad
Bravo and Quad Charlie turned off inyour DAP at this time in a five
degree dead band. We'd prefer aten degree dead band for your sleep period
overnight here over, okay. Oneof their item relative to a malfunction procedure.

(01:24:11):
It's unlikely that you'll have to worryabout this tomorrow, but in your
malfunction list under docking on page feleven, Dash nine, there is a
malfunction procedure for a HIGHO to flowrate at the top of under tunnel at
the top of stage eleven, Dashnine. We would like to have you

(01:24:35):
not use that malfunction procedure. Shouldyou encounter the HIGHO two flow rate and
in instead check back with Houston fora revised procedure should you find that situation
over understand and notice it made mytruck UH eleven Houston, UH Roger.

(01:25:04):
That just about takes care of allthe items that we have here on the
ground UH before time to uh hitthe fact. And UH, I guess
you'll will have a uh preflee checkfor us before you uh go to bed.
Right where in the midst of Frankmanmay out to Ann Roger and the

(01:25:38):
radiation is as far as the cdR one one zero one two you B
one zero zero one three hell outP zero nine zero one five negative medication
hover UH Roger copy eleven. Thiswas apart of Control Houston ninety four hours

(01:26:44):
UH thirty nine minutes now into theflight. UH that conversational exchange UH with
Hungariet uh here in Mission Control Centerand UH principally buzz Alton. However,
UH UH Mike Collins UH did talkUH briefly about UH program twenty two,
the landmark UH tracking UH activity inwhich he performed at eighty four hours UH

(01:27:12):
forty minutes. UH. This isAPONO Control Houston n y Hey he's been

(01:29:13):
uh levin. Uh. You cango ahead alright. If we're thinking about
uh taking the monocular with us uhon enter the lamb, we think it
might uh prove to be of uhsome years. So it uh rot your
uh buzz. It sounds like agood idea for some of your uh surveying
works there inside the cot sit oversure, okay an you wanna run that

(01:29:39):
fine? Whoever might be concerned,I sure will h This is Apollo Control

(01:30:59):
used to namewenty four hours forty fourminutes, and now on to the flight
Apollo eleven. Our current spacecraft altitudeand now sixty four point three nautical miles
with an appalloon of sixty five pointtwo nautical miles paillon fifty four point four
nautical miles. Uh. We showU an orbital period of one hour,

(01:31:24):
fifty eight minutes forty seconds on ourdisplays current weight of the spacecraft in orbit
seventy thousand, five hundred and twopounds at eighty four hours uh forty four
minutes. Continuing to monitor. Thisis Apollo Control, Houston. Yes nay

(01:32:24):
nay nay nay name name name namesname name ya yam uh follow lever.

(01:35:03):
Now you've been uh we've apparently lockedthe uh hid you and locked uh what
UH would appreciate if you had givena help aglly uh try uh we locked
up on a hiding over. You'vebeen a bottling unigh your part, however,

(01:35:28):
uh you've been uh read a newuh very weak uh still uh far
gotting a noise and they couldn't uhcomplete the uh uh full pat making.
If you'd give us a hand ona mangle uh relock red appreciate it.
This is Apollo Control Houston eighty fourhours uh forty eight minutes nowt of the

(01:35:51):
flight we're receiving uh noisy data atthis time. Uh we're uh I've requested
uh Apollo eleven to uh give usa manual relock uh standing by at uh

(01:36:11):
eighty four hours of forty nine minutes. So this is Apollo Control Houston.

(01:37:06):
Names its names names names names namesnames yes names names names yes, yes,

(01:39:17):
about eleven Now you couldn't uh werestill Uh I don't go to uh
pick you up on the uh hian Then I went to your dind me
on why the wee win the uhin your angles in your seperate cause I
should win you could be able tofind the bar over Houston. I'm not

(01:40:25):
here now eleven Houston. Loud andclear this time I made lud and clear.
Uh you painted out uh on yourlast transmission. Co Uh Roger,
are you in the whitebeam? Now? Make itive it? I got your

(01:40:45):
uh lock back on again. Reactnow, uh, Roger, that's all
we want. We want to stayin narrow and we're a little puzzle about
uh why we lost you here afew minutes ago. Do you have any
ideas? Oh sure, sure,We're sure. We're sure about uh uh

(01:41:08):
fifteen degrees pro perfection about two seventyuh not ought to be actually clear.
Uh we concur that uh we uhstill don't have any good ideas on why
we were lost. Huh uh levinuh Houston. Uh would you uh confirm

(01:41:56):
that uh we did uh acquire automaticallywhen you came around the uh limb Uh.
Oh that's a passage over at thepub y h. This is Apollo

(01:43:35):
control of Houston eighty four hours uhfifty six minutes. Uh now too the
flight uh Apollo eleven our uh Cournantappalloon uh sixty five point one nautical miles
current paraloon uh fifty four point threenautical miles UH after uh receiving some noisy

(01:43:57):
signal UH Apollo eleven UH has uhlocked back on in uh fine form.
That was buzz al in UH speakingUH with oengariet Uh here in the mission
control center. I expect UH wewill take a second look at uh uh
why uh we had to lock onuh manually as we receive any updates on

(01:44:25):
this, UH, we'll pass'emalong. Now we now read eighty four
hours uh fifty seven minutes, anduh this is Apollo Control Houston, Na

(01:45:47):
na na na na che non schoolfollow eleven. You can work. You'll

(01:51:59):
think of fallow loven loving us canon your autowas Yes, select which is
we show uh quite bravo disabled butquite Charlie only partially disabled Charlie three.
I believe it is the only oneyou have selected off. Is that correct?
All right? That's crack. Thisis Apollow Control, Houston, eighty

(01:53:03):
five hours uh five minutes now onof the flight Apollo eleven A. We
confirmed from the ground following that conversationalexchange, as was pointed out, now
we UH see'em all disabled atthe time I get as UH was pointed

(01:53:27):
out UH quad uh rcs quad Charlieis now disabled. Following that conversational exchange
UH between one gariot and UH buzzAlden buzz UH the lunar module pilot.
UH apparently UH are quite obviously stillawake eighty five hours UH seven minutes UH

(01:53:55):
now on of the flight apollow elevenUH continuing to monitor. This is apollow
control Houston action. Yeah, We'regoing to press CHAO back at UH compositions

(01:56:28):
MS must stage UH follow eleven Houstonover to plank UH eleven Houston. UH.
We're going to UH try to checkout this ability UH to UH automatically

(01:56:49):
reacquire on the band. And whatwe want to do is to secure our
uplink carrier for about the thirty seconds, then we will turn it back on
and see if the spacecraft equipment willautomatically reacquire. So, if you do
not get a call from us withinabout three minutes, that means we have

(01:57:09):
not been able to reacquire and requestyour assistance on a manual acquisition over Okay,
we haven't levin Houston. We alsoappreciate if you will note the angles
that the antenna tracks through in itsattempt to reacquire over tradible do that cholten

(01:59:33):
sa uh eleven Houston. That lookslike we're locked back up again, uh

(02:00:44):
with uh no delay. Uh howdoes it look on board? Over Rocher?
The uh signal strengths dropped uh veryrapidly to zero, and the uh
pitch and d and about uh threeseconds uh move toward uh forty degrees bitch

(02:01:08):
and children forty degrees yaw right now. Uh they're setting out about fifteen degrees
bitch and uh all aback two hundredand fifty five degrees got so they didn't
uh move very far, uh allabout uh thirty degrees of feet and uh

(02:01:29):
then they uh sick rate back upagain over uh right, you're uh some
of the luckiest people in the backgroundthere. Uh we uh copied your uh
pitch and yell angles. Uh elevenHouston. Uh, could you uh give

(02:02:42):
us the uh location of your uhsitting your location of your position indicators?
Over Roger, the same position asuh the antenna right now, Buck fifteen
and six and uh, uh Idon't know wait a minute, I got

(02:03:03):
'em. Got a seventy five sixtyfive Okay, thank you? Eleven Houston.

(02:03:38):
We'd like to try the same procedureonce more. We'll leave the carrier
off a little longer and be backup for a call within four minutes.
Over. Okay, this is ApolloControl, Houston, eighty five hours,
seventeen minutes. Now to the flightApollo eleven. UH. What you heard

(02:03:58):
in the conversation between the one you'reat and uh buzz Aldrin U was UH
following a a uh communications UH checkin which we UH secured uh the uplin
carrier for some uh thirty seconds andUH waited to give it a period of

(02:04:20):
time up approximately three minutes to seeUH if the UH spacecraft would reacquire UH.
We appeared to reacquire in fine formon this UH first test. UH.
We will repeat it UH this testa second time, UH, delaying

(02:04:44):
UH approximately four minutes before we placecalled two Apollo eleven at eighty five hours
of seventeen minutes. UH. Wecurrently read in altitude spacecraft altitude of fifty
six point one nautical miles present velocitvelocity UH shows UH fifty three hundred sixty

(02:05:05):
seven feet per second an appalloon sixtyfive UH nautical miles paralon fifty four point
four nautical miles present weight in orbit. UH remains a static seventy thousand,
five hundred and two pounds present timein orbit as UH shown on our displays

(02:05:29):
UH one hour, UH fifty eightminutes, UH forty seconds. This is
Apollo Control Houston name name name elevenUh Houston. Uh we're locked back up

(02:07:20):
again. UH. Can you UHgive us a report on uh how the
antenna behavior, Roger, it wasessentially identical. Was before the pitch was
to uh forty five forty to fortyfive and the yall was do that uh

(02:07:47):
A lot two fifty five, twoforty five to two fifty five, and
then it UH right epick, weuh locked up a fifteen degrees six and
UH two seventy job elevin Houston,Roger, your angles forty five and two
fifty five? Do I understand thatas soon as the carrier dropped it went

(02:08:09):
to these angles? Or did itonly go to these angles after the uplink
carrier was re enabled and the antennabegan to hunt to reacquire over antener Is
the carrier dropped off, why itdrifted over to those angles and stayed there

(02:08:31):
and then when it came back upagain. Why all hunter round for a
while but didn't get any further off. Gradually brought it on into the angles
where it is right now, andthen the signal space that would take several
jobs that evidently it goes from wideto medium genarrows levin Houston, understand And

(02:08:52):
on another subject, request you zeroyour optics for the night over Rocky jup

(02:10:22):
Agema school untold name three ye seenschool che This is Apollo Control, Houston

(02:13:50):
at eighty five hours, at twentyseven minutes now into the flight Apollo eleven.
UH, we've UH run two teststhus far UH with the SBN antenna,
which is reacquired nicely on both occasions. We're standing by UH for further

(02:14:13):
possible conversations with the crew at thistime. USA, USA, USA U
