Garbled transmissions.
Duke: Rog. Over. Do you copy? On the PIPAs, the Y-PIPA's the biggest and it's 0.006 feet per second so we're just trying to tweak it up. We concur. Collins: Yes. Charlie, how far out can you pick up TV off the Omni? Collins: And where I sleep is down underneath this couch. Armstrong: Yes, there are a couple of different LM bags that I left in there. Aldrin: No. Armstrong: Yes, it should have been 1.4 degrees yaw. Duke: Apollo 11, Houston. Collins: Okay. This time the DAP didn't like 0.3. We don't know of anything. Aldrin: Well, eventually, it does - it shows the [garble] - you can see those - [garble]. Armstrong: Very good. Collins: Roger. Let me know if you want me to...come back. What are we pitching down for, what, what, what... I think I'll speed it up a bit, if you don't mind. Aldrin: Okay. Duke: Eagle, this is Houston. We got a load for you. Do you read? Sounds like you've already done that, so I guess whatever you can come up with, just let us know. Collins: Beautiful. Duke: Yeah. Over. Over. Aldrin: Okay, LOX dump about - I guess that'll make it about Collins: Okay. Aldrin: Yes, the flicker... Go for LOI. Collins: We is there. Collins: Just like the simulator. Collins: About a minute from AOS. Now you got an option of trimming or bypassing. Thank you. Armstrong: Going to Track here. Collins: 80... Aldrin: Roger. Armstrong: Okay. Evans: Eagle, Houston. And you might pass to Columbia, we don't have him yet. Backup S-band now, and we're standing by for Command Module RCS activation. Aldrin: Say, you did get a couple of hard ones in there, didn't you? McCandless: 11, this is Houston. Aldrin: Okay. P00 and Data. Collins: Great. Armstrong: Hey, have you got any more circuit breakers - I mean any more switches for me? Some greens showing along the northeastern - northwestern coast of the United States and northwestern coast of Canada. [Simulated crying] McCandless: Apollo 11, this is Houston. [Pause.] The horizon will be visible just below the upper edge of the hatch window 2 minutes prior to the LOI burn. Radio check. Thank you. Collins: Mark it... Collins: Roger. [Garble] all this little stuff [garble]. Armstrong: Seems like when you get down to around 110, you just keep chasing him. Duke: Roger. It looks like the only way that we're going to be able to get any is if, at your convenience, you would take your - change out your EKG leads, which are the center ones that are connected to the blue pin. Over. Collins: Yes. [Long pause.] Armstrong: You do it all? Roger. Aldrin: Houston, Apollo 11. Armstrong: Alright. That's good. Thank you. The MESA's still up? Collins: Apollo 11. Aldrin: Houston, Eagle. TEI-4: 38658, minus 0.54, plus 0.65, 084:29:50.59, plus 3137.3, plus 0376.0, minus 0096.8; roll NA, pitch 034; two jets, 19 seconds; undocked; assumes no LOI-2. Duke: All right. Over. Duke: Delta-H... We can't figure it out either. Collins: Okay, now I - I'm going to verify with the third star, and let's see what that star's going to be. I've stopped it now, and we are going to have to go back and do it over again. Minus 0.1 to...can you write that one down? McCandless: Roger. [Pause.] Out. Aldrin: We've got number 2 reading 3050 (psi) and number 1 is reading, oh, 3000 and it drops down to 2990. No fire. Okay. (Long Pause) You guys agree with my mark; we'll be 5 minutes? Armstrong: [Garble] belt for transposition and docking [garble]. Duke: Go, Tranquility. [Long pause.] Duke: Hello, Apollo 11. You're about one-by on this transmission. Mark. Duke: Rog. Stand by one. (Long Pause) We're going to hand over to Goldstone for uplink in about 2 minutes. Over. Aldrin: Roger. Is Goldstone the only station that's going to get this? Armstrong: P00? Aldrin: In general, I think they do quite a good job, especially on the guns, in removing a lot of the hydrogen bubbles. PAO: Mark. Television is now on. It did appear it might have been Mike Collins. All of these maneuvers, incidentally, in the rendezvous sequence by Eagle, will be made by the - using the Reaction Control System of Eagle. He was followed about 5 minutes later by Mike Collins, and finally Buzz Aldrin, the man who is sitting in the middle seat during lift-off, was the third astronaut to come aboard. Terminal Phase Finalization, TPF; 127 hours, 39 minutes, 39.2 seconds. 3 minutes now from predicted time of Loss Of Signal. And Recovery 1 going in now to pick up the first astronaut. Armstrong: Okay. (Long Pause) Collins: Go ahead, Charlie. Armstrong: Currently going over Maskelyne, Mas... Armstrong: That should be on wide beam or...? Aldrin: I was going to mark on 37, and that's Nunki; 30 and 37? Armstrong: Roger. Checked in. Aldrin: If it's [garble], it's definite. It's at our number 5 window and the dump appears to be coming out of two radially opposite directions from the S-IVB. The eastern Mediterranean is phenomenally clear. Thank you. McCandless: Roger. That plan sounds fine with us, Neil. Out. Armstrong: Okay, thank you. Collins: What's that? [Garble] your window. Duke: Stand by. Aldrin: Okay. Duke: The system really looks good to us. Houston. Tig, 104:39:47:00, 55358, 00322, plus 0022. Would you please select Omni Bravo? ] Hey, you're right. Aldrin: Houston, Tranquility. And we're thinking that we might want to run some of this at 12 frames a second. All right. Armstrong: And... McCandless: Columbia, this is Houston. We will then command Omni Delta down here after you advise us you've switched, and then you can select Bravo on board and we'll be back in the Omni antenna commanding business. [Long pause.] Collins: Go ahead. He's so quiet. McCandless: Roger. Over. Over. We sort of thought it was the Sun setting in the east. Try 22, please. Collins: Okay. McCandless: Roger. Apparently, when you move around, it's cutting in and out. Over. Armstrong: Maybe we'd better get an alignment... Aldrin: I like the neat way he's got his - safety belt on - [garble] should be about in the right place. Alright, here's your checklist. Collins: (Relaying) Eagle, this is Columbia. We'll be doing P22 in just a couple of minutes here. Correction on that, Neil. Servo power's what takes it. Armstrong: We had a lot of help down there, Jim. Collins: Well, that's intermittently affirmative, Bruce. Over. ...just about out and it's on our last color roll, so we'll switch to black and white as soon as we get to Earth. Aldrin: Rotation Control Power, Direct, two of them, Off? Duke: Roger. Armstrong: Verified. I can see on the monitor the thing you're talking about, but right now I can't get my eye to the window to pick out just where it crosses the shore line. Collins: Apollo 11. Evans: And for your information, we're also going to have Tranquility Base do a P52 (means P22, tracking the CSM with the LM's rendezvous radar) when you come around the other (means 'next') time. I think I read that oxygen (wrong), it's a plus seventeen pounds. Collins: Okay. Lewis: Say again? Collins: Yes, I hate those damn [garble]. Thank you. Duke: 11, we have a good view of the window there. Delta-H is looking good to us. Duke: Columbia, Houston. It went by me there. We see it, 11. Over. Over. Rog. Duke: 11, Houston. [Pause.] Collins: Monoculars? Duke: Well, they will spring into action here momentarily. Fine. If no decrease in secondary accumulator quantity - Are you with me? Duke: It made it really super. We've lost our command interface with Goldstone. [Long pause.] And this is the highlight of the day, Buzz's exercise for the surgeon. Over. Stand by a moment. That puts the left-hand window pointed at the Earth. Over. Duke: Roger. You're breaking up. Over. Collins: Okay, we've got - 18 minutes, roughly. Aldrin: Neil, we got two magazines, two color, A... - one of them is R and the other is S. But even there, for some reason it didn't seem to want to stand up straight. Over. Collins: Yes, just a tiny bit. Collins: Okay. Data from The Apollo 11 Flight Journal and The Apollo 11 Surface Journal, mashed up by Leonard Richardson. We came in peace for all mankind. Updated every five minutes. |
