M M eleven. This is Houston. We're receiving a black signal from you
(00:24):
right now what we are getting TVorders. This is Apollo Control. UH.
(01:18):
The network controller now reports that theTV signal is down UH, apparently
having been turned off. And UHwe suspect that what we had was a
test of the system by the crewa UH. Television transmissions from the spacecraft
is scheduled to begin at one hundredseventy seven hours thirty minutes, or about
two minutes past six Central daylight timeat UH. The present time of follow
(01:42):
eleven is ninety three thousand, twohundred eighteen nautical miles from the Earth.

(12:07):
Houston. Over go ahead. Fromsignal strength indications, it appears we may
be locked up on a side lovewith a high gain antenna. We'd like
you to go into wide beam withfor about fifteen seconds and then back to
narrow over all right, atta attatch, this is a follow control at one
(18:00):
hundred and seventy seven hours, thirtyminutes. UH. We're standing by at
this time to receive television pictures fromthe UH Apollo eleven spacecraft. A short
while ago, UH, we receiveda test transmission and apparently everything is functioning
normally. We were receiving UH televisionsignal from Goldstone relayed on through to Houston.
(18:23):
We will continue to stand by forthe UH UH TV h having good
(19:12):
health, bend thing, don't drinknag, that's affirmative. Eleven all Pepper,
TV Roger. We're all set.Wanna be your ready of sentence.
(19:33):
Okay, okay, okay, you'recoming through elead and clear now eleven with
your packs. Can we have blackand white signals? We should have conversion
(20:00):
up shortly. Their Patrin the DNAis the commander of Apollo eleven. One
(20:37):
hundred years ago, kill Burn wrotea book about a voice the parent His
base ship Columbia, took off fromFlorida and landed in the Plific Ocean after
(21:00):
completing a trip to the men Samappropriate to share with you some with the
reflection of the crew as the modernday Columbia, complete in to rendezvous with
the planet Earth in the fan PacificOcean tomorrow. Whe Mike Collins, eleven,
(21:41):
this is us, and we havean LS here with you right back
with him. In the interim youmay be in a stodennoying that Jan and
the children, and Pat and theOustres and Andy Alder and are down here
(22:06):
in the viewing room watching this evening. I were glad to hear that.
(22:45):
Okay, eleven, you're back onwith Mike in the middle of the screen
there all right here, they're trumpof virs to the moon. May have
looked to use simple or easy.I like to assure you that that has
been been the case. The Saturnfive rocket which put us into orbit,
is an incredibly complicated piece of machinery, every piece of which works flawlessly.
(23:11):
This computer up above my head hasa thirty eight thousand word vocabulary, each
word of which has been very carefullychosen to be of the utmost value to
us the crew. The switch whichI have in my hand now has over
three hundred counterparts and the command modelalone this one single switch design. In
(23:37):
addition to that, there are amiriaon of circuit breakers, leavers, rods,
and other associated controls. The SPSengine, our large rocket engine on
the aft end of our service module, must have performed flawlessly, or we
would have been stranded in lunar orbit. The parachute up above my must work
(24:00):
perfectly tomorrow or we will plummet intothe ocean. We have always had confidence
that all this equipment will work andwork properly, and we continue to have
confidence that it will do so forthe remainder of this life. All this
is possible only through the blood,sweat and tears of a number of people.
(24:22):
First, the American workmen who putthese pieces of machinery together as a
factory. Second, the painstaking workdone by the various test teams during the
assembly and the retest after assembly.And finally the people as demand Spacecraft Center,
both in management, in mission planning, in flight control, and last
(24:49):
but not least, in crew training. This operation is somewhat like the periscope
of a submarine. All you seeis the three of us, but beneath
the gervis alright, thousands of thousandsof others, And do all those I
would like to say thank you verymuch, ELEVENM. That's is Houston.
(26:00):
We're getting a good picture of buzznow, but no voice modulation and would
you open up the f stop onthe TV camera play to two polase that
apparious to be a lot better nowwe're still not receiving buzz as audio.
(26:26):
Good evenings. I'd like to discusswith you, if you're the or symbolic
aspects of the flight of our missionApollo eleven, because we've been discussing the
events that have taken place in thepast two or three days here on board
our spacecraft. We've come to theconclusion that this has been far more than
three men on a voyage to theMoon, or still then the efforts of
(26:52):
our government and industry team, oreven than the efforts of one nation.
That this stands as a symbol ofthe insatiable curiosity of all mankind to explore
the unknown. Neil's statement the otherday, upon first setting foot on the
surface of the Moon, this isa small step for a man, but
(27:18):
a great leap for mankind. Ibelieve Strop these feelings very nicely. We
accepted the challenge of going to themoon. The acceptance of this challenge was
inevitable. The relative ease with whichwe carried out our mission, I believe
is a tribute to the timeliness ofthat acceptance. Today, I feel we're
(27:42):
fully capable of accepting expanded roles inthe expiration of space. In retrospect,
we have all been particularly pleased withthe call signs that we very laboriously chose
for our spacecraft Columbia, and we'vebeen particularly pleased with the emblem of our
(28:03):
flight, depicting the US Eagle bringingthe universal symbol of peace from the Earth,
from the planet Earth to the Moon, that symbol being the olive Branch.
It was our overall crude choice todeposit a replica of this symbol on
(28:25):
the moon personal land. Reflecting theevents of the past several days of earths
and the Psalms comes to mind tome when I consider the heavens, the
work of thy fingers, the Moonand the stars, which thou hast ordained.
(28:45):
What is man that thou art mindfulof him? The responsibility for this
(29:48):
life lies first with with history andwith a giant of science, who have
preceded the ever to the American people, who have through their will indicated their
desires. Next the four administration andtheir congresses for implementing the will. And
(30:15):
then to the agency and industry teamthat built our spacecraft, the Saturn,
the Columbia, the Eagles, andthe little EMU, the space suit and
backpack that was our small space draftout on the Loner Service. We'd like
(30:38):
to give us special thanks to allthose Americans who built those spacecrafts. We
did the construction, design, thetest and put their their hearts and all
(31:00):
their abilities and into those crafts.To those people tonight we give a special
thank you and to all the otherpeople that are listening and watching tonight.
God bless you. Good night.From a follow eleven eleven MISUS Houston.
(31:59):
We're getting a zoom view out thewindow now, eleven, tiny Knight.
(32:43):
That brief view of the Earth camefrom ninety one thousand, three hundred and
seventy one nautical miles out in spaceafter a brief and sincere and moving transmission
from the Apollo eleven spacecraft. Thisis Apollo Control at one hundred seventy seven
(33:10):
hours, forty five minutes. Here'sthe Paul eleven. You want to crank
(35:45):
up PTC again. He has noreason to all this attitude or what you
play here. You can crank upPTC again, Mike, anytime you like.
And my dad thought that was amighty fine TV presentation showing nothing I
can add to or from down hereninet at any tradition. Apollo eleven.
(41:22):
This is Houston over go ahead,okay eleven. I've got a few small
items here. One flight plan updateand symmentary photography information. Cread a copy
of God You're at one eight zerohours, five zero minutes. Get we
(41:49):
should like to delete your oxygen fuelcell purge. Okay. And on the
entry photography. If you're going touse a fresh magazine of color interior film,
we recommend the following exposure settings.F eleven at one two fiftieth six
(42:13):
frames per second, focus on sevenfeet for the fireball. F two point
zero one sixtieth of a second,six frames per second, focus on five
zero feet when the shoots open.If you're using a magazine, part of
(42:37):
which has already been used for interiorshots, we recommend F sixteen at one
five hundredth of a second, sixframes per second, focus on seven feet
for the fireball. F two pointeight one sixtieth of a second, six
(43:01):
rains per second, focus on fivezero feet when the parachute's open. And
we would like to know the magazinenumber that you're intending to use when you
have a chance over. Okay,I think we've got those. We will
be using a rainy one and that'llbe a color an carrier Roger when you
(43:27):
can get it. When you getit out, we'd like to have the
number of the magazine or the letterof the magazine relays down. Okay,
And we're thinking that we might wantto run some of this second. I
don't think we can get everything frompoint five point five down. I only
(43:47):
get that seven point eight minutes inthe rain double that I get many diffent
occasional our person twelve frames. Seewhat we want. This is Houston that
(44:16):
plans Down's fine with us, Neil, okay. And lastly, we'd like
to know if your stoyage configuration forentry is going to conform to the nominal
the retros down here ranks to getan accurate CYG computed for you, and
(44:37):
in particular where the leaves are beingstowed over Okay, I think we're gonna
put the levers and the Hilmet's inthe hatchbag and we'll let you know any
other non standards showage locations that wecompletely say. Is it here, Fonna
(45:01):
Rod your house stuck up? Anythingabout eleven? Sure? I had eleven?
(54:54):
Right to the magazine, will beanything. I r Hampry tomorrow the
magazine him, I do understand magazineAmmazon micros Okay, take up Muttatt Stott
(01:02:23):
to Tott follow eleven. This isHouston, your friendly Green Team going off
(01:05:31):
for the night and going off forthe last time. We wish to bid
you a good night and God speak, thank you. We appreciate all that
time work done by the by theGreen team, and we'll be thinking in
person. I'm my good back.Roger will see you on the ground.
(01:05:53):
Really enjoy working with all of you. Thank you very much. Roger,
as usual, allow your greening.They're all smiles down here, even the
trest Chester. This is Apollo Controlhere in the Mission Operations Control Room of
(01:12:34):
Mission Control Center, the White teamof flight controllers under Flight Director Gene Krantz,
settling in for the ten hour shiftahead until five am. Green Team
flight Director Cliff Charlesworth is now enroute to the Houston Apollo News Center and
(01:12:57):
shortly we'll be there for his changeof shift press conference. Estimating about ten
minutes for his arrival. We willcontinue to monitor the Apollo eleven air ground
circuit should the communications resume standing byat one hundred and seventy eight hours twenty
(01:13:18):
five minutes around the laps time.This is Apollo Control UTTATU. This is
(01:21:23):
APOLLOW Control APOLLOW eleven now eighty eightthousand, four hundred forty two nautical miles
out from Earth, approaching at avelocity of six thousand, two hundred ninety
nine feet per second. Change shiftpress conference with the Green Team Flight Director
Cliff charles Worth due to begin anymoment now in the NASA Apollo News Center
(01:21:48):
Auditorium and at one hundred seventy eighthours thirty four minutes ground to lapse time.
This is APOLLOW control. This isAPOLLOW Control one hundred and seventy nine
(01:22:12):
hours, nine minutes ground elapse time. During the past half hour, there
have been some exchanges between spacecraft communicatorBruce McCandless here in mission control and the
crew of Apollo eleven. One itemthey're trying to sort out and troubleshoot some
difficulties with the biomedical sensors attached tothe chest of Command Module pilot Mike Collins.
(01:22:39):
Let's play back the accumulated tape andhopefully by the time it's ended,
we will have picked up communications againand we'll rejoin the conversation live roll tape.
Please apollow eleven. That's the Houstonover right. You have a car
there wearing activity. If I readyto crank up PTC. If you are
(01:23:03):
Roger, go ahead, okay yetApollo eleven. This is here'ston hourank you
(01:23:46):
eleven. We'd like to shift toan omni antenna configuration at the present time
for requesting the S band antenna omniswitch to Brabel and the S band antenna
omni switched to Omni I gain antennatrack in manual pitch minus five zero yaw
(01:24:09):
two seven zero over matter. I'llright now, rgre and if Mike as
a man, we'd like to doa little bit of troubleshooting. It seems
either flat tested or something because we'velost respiration rates on the biomedicallemetry that is
(01:24:31):
the ZPN trace down here is flat. I came a little one our blasted
ryns. You're all connected, isall I know. Okay, Mike,
we had a request that you disconnectthe yellow connector from the signal conditioner and
(01:24:58):
verify that it looks okay reconnected,and then if you would check the two
electrodes that are placed one on eachside of your lower rib cage over,
I'll bet you there's a smile ontravelers face. Cliff is not on right
now, Gene Kranz just releasing afew minutes ago. God that all things
(01:25:27):
like normal up here? All right? Or mic, we could see variations
on our trace if you're connected anddisconnected, but the medics still don't have
a signal, looks like you're sendingus the message of some sort. I
promise to let you know if Istop beating A follow eleven A follow eleven,
(01:27:15):
This is Houston broadcasting in the blindrequest Omni Bravo requests Omni Bravo over
follow eleven. This is Houston communicationre establishment I follow eleven. This is
(01:27:36):
Houston. Where do you confirm you'rein Omni Bravo over? Okay that I
guadam address A follow eleven. Thisis Houston, Mike. We're still getting
(01:28:05):
a flat trace on you for theimpedance neumographs before you turn in this eason,
you might try putting some fresh spacein the sensors and if that doesn't
work, the metics have agreed toforget about it over thankspering, I'm campaigning
(01:28:45):
for happy Okay, thank you,here's no power. I'm playing apple right
your mic. The trace on yourrespiration rate is old flat uh. If
you have time this saving before turningin, it would suggest that you try
(01:29:05):
putting some fresh paste in the twoelectrodes that go on the side of your
lower ribcage page and if that doesn'twork, just to give up on it.

standing by for resumption of air toground communications, which may be difficult inasmuch
(01:39:15):
as campcom is leaving the room.Do you put a watch your editorial.
We will continue to monitor air groundas the crew prepares for their pre sleep
checklists, sets up the passive thermalcontrol mode and sacks out for about a
