PAO: Watching this pass with a great deal of interest in Mission Control Center is Pete Conrad, the commander for the Apollo 12 mission. We've now been receiving television pictures from the spacecraft for about 1 hour.
Photo 1: This is Photo 1.
Hornet: Hornet, Roger.
PAO: This is Apollo Control. CapCom that time was Fred Haise, the backup Lunar Module Pilot.
Duke: Copy. Did you call? Rog.
Duke: 11, that's a pretty good roll, there. Over.
Collins: How many? ] Houston, Columbia. Glad to hear it. [Garble.] Okay, EMS says minus 6.8.
Duke: It's 2.30. And we see you venting the Ox(idizer).
Collins: Yes. Transponder is to Heater which is the same as being Off, and I've got my roll jets back on now.
Collins: TVC Gimbal Drive, Pitch and Yaw to Auto.
Armstrong: I think we ought to be at 4 jets for this, [garble] AGS. [Long pause.]
Collins: I wonder if Neil has made any preparations?
Duke: Roger.
Armstrong: Those guys down there in the trench did a pretty good job this flight.
Collins: Okay. ]
Collins: It was back here. Do something with it, anyway.
Duke: Roger. Over. We had a view, Buzz, of the utility light cord.
Duke: Rog. Over. (Pause)
Aldrin: ATT Deadband, Max?
Evans: Hey, mighty fine. It's about 15 seconds yet. We copy you. Over.
Evans: Columbia, Houston. Apollo 11, Houston.
Collins: I didn't know [garble] radio.
Armstrong: They're closed.
Duke: Negative. And Premier Alexei Kosygin has sent congratulations to you and President Nixon through former Vice President Humphrey who is visiting Russia. Over. Go ahead. Over. (Pause)
Aldrin: I can't think. Now the one thing I forget about this is this zoom. ...during the maneuvers
McCandless: Go ahead, 11. They're on about page Surface 27 in the checklist, proceeding in good time.
Collins: And it - it kind of varies - not 865, but it's - 830. Son-of-a-bitching...
Garriott: Roger, Tranquility. And a final item, for your SM RCS configuration for your rest period, register 1 for the DAP is 11111; DAP register 2, 01100. I...
Collins: Three to Rate 2.
Duke: ...You are Go to continue... We couldn't figure out whether that was a chin-up or a push-up. We didn't quite decipher that signal that just came from the CMP.
Aldrin: [Garble.] Nothing in it.
Armstrong: Do you copy those angles, Houston.
Armstrong: You get this...
Aldrin: Could be our meter, maybe, huh? Look at all that RCS we got.
Evans: Okay. [No answer.]
Armstrong: Okay. 11202, 20741, 00211.
McCandless: Apollo 11, this is Houston through Carnarvon. Read back. We'll be configured and waiting for whatever you want to send down.
Armstrong: Yes, Mike. It looked good here.
Collins: Okay.
Armstrong: Is it going?
Aldrin: No.
McCandless: And what I'm asking for is the switchover to... You're beginning EVA Prep. Over.
Collins: I'm making myself sea sick doing it, Charlie.
Armstrong: ...towards gimbal lock.
Duke: And, 11, Houston. We've got a state vector for you. When we go LOS, we'd like you to go Off on the Biomed. Can't quite make out who that head is.
Armstrong: Okay; thank you.
Duke: Okay. ] Buzz, we're on low bit rate. Over. [Long pause.]
Aldrin: Yes.
Collins: Is that right? Rot Control Power, Normal, number 2, to AC/DC.
Aldrin: Good to hear it. We're going first opportunity, you think? Go ahead, Houston. Apollo 11.
Armstrong: PCM Bit Rate, Low. Bypass is Open.
Duke: Say again, Mike. Over.
PAO: Mark. 30 seconds.
Armstrong: Normal. You enter on it, huh? How do you read? [Garble] is looking good.
McCandless: Roger. Out. Over. We'll get you into the PTC one of these days, and you take turns looking.
Collins: P00 and Accept. I'm ready to go back to VHF Ranging configuration. We're working on the pressurization of the LM now, and working off the decal with CSM-LM pressure equalization. [Long pause.]
Armstrong: Delta-V Thrust A...
PAO: Three minutes, 45 seconds and counting.
PAO: Mark.
PAO: Normally the Mission Control Center here in Houston will not attempt to contact Apollo 11 after drogue chute deployment. You heard that report from Commander Neil Armstrong indicating that LOI-2 was all - came off almost precisely as planned.
Collins: I lost my clip.
Armstrong: Okay with you if I start my pitch, or you think you're not far enough away yet, Mike? There isn't a dent or a mark on the probe.
Aldrin: And I'm on secondary, or number 2 pump right now, and I'll hold here for a couple of seconds and then switch back to number 1. Over. [Garble].
McCandless: (Making a mis-identification) That's affirmative, Neil.
McCandless: Roger. [Pause.] You are Go for Pyro Arm. Over. (Long Pause)
Collins: What happened to that card that was here?
Duke: 11, Houston. It looks like just about anything that you do with that DSKY is going to collapse that deadband back down. [Pause.]
Duke: Roger. Looks like the AGC's working real well. Then to turn on the Auto RCS Select switches, and then go Rate Command. Over. Over.
Collins: Neil, where do you put this guy - usually? Code 110.
Duke: Eagle, Houston. [Long pause.] Could you give us an onboard readout, please, sir?
Armstrong: Buzz, are you ready to... Be ready to go back into Prep for Depress.
Aldrin: Alright. Get 51 on the event timer?
Duke: Rog. Stand by.
Aldrin: Well, if I take normal to the window, it's going to be...
Collins: Unless it's got something to do with that entry from the position that we want to be in.
Collins: Bring the [garble] back. That's affirmative. Do you have any update for the roll, pitch and yaw angles on the top of page 37 in the flight plan, or are they still good?
Aldrin: [As if] it's not bad enough, not finding the right landing spot... T13, 124:22...Is that 'zero two'? (Long Pause) Well, eventually, it does - it shows the [garble] - you can see those - [garble].
Collins: Go ahead, Charlie. I just wanted to confirm that. 11667 Okay. I'd rather sleep, I'd rather sleep with the probe and drogue than have to dick with it in the morning. I never got your coordinates on estimated LM position. Doesn't make as much noise as we thought. Let me put it down here. We've got a hose up there that we're hoping will sort of help keep it a little bit dry. I'm potting around with handholds right now, Neil... Well, you know, it's not right in the middle of the sextant. Go ahead. We wanted to talk to you about it before we incorporate it. Our Noun 49 is reading: register 1, plus 08793; register 2, all balls. SPS Helium Valves, verified Auto, barber pole. Proceed to Atria. Go ahead.
Garriott: Columbia, Houston. Over.
Aldrin: It's halfway up.
Collins: The roll?
Duke: Roger, sir. Copy. Over. Over.
PAO: The black and white view that you're seeing now is the unconverted color pictures that comes down from the spacecraft. T minus 1 minute, 54 seconds and counting. Sporadic bursts of static that you hear on the air-ground is caused by the rotation of the spacecraft - changing the orientation of the antennas as the spacecraft slowly rotates to maintain thermal balance.
Collins: Columbia.
McCandless: Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Houston. [Pause.]
Aldrin: You're loud and clear. He's all ears.
Aldrin: Alright. (Long Pause) (Garbled) (Pause) Two more.
Collins: Yes. Go ahead.
Aldrin: (Under Charlie) Okay, Houston; (garbled) the ED Batts are Go...
Armstrong: Okay, Mike. About that [garble]. That's verified.
Armstrong: ...coming up on 8 minutes.
Aldrin: Looks like what you have to do to this, is not hold it against the window, because it's going to pick up... Trim.
Collins: Somewhere along the line, I think I'll trim this maneuver just for the hell of it. The small, well-defined crater is Moltke, which is about abeam of the landing site.
Collins: Yes. 96 even and coming up on 40 seconds. Normal.
Armstrong: Yeah.
Collins: Let me know when it's lunch time, will you? [Long pause.] [Garble.]
McCandless: ...through the structure of the (east) secondary strut. [Long pause.] Agnew, ranking government official at the Apollo 11 blast-off Wednesday, apparently was speaking for himself and not necessarily the Nixon administration when he said, "We should, in my judgment, put a man on Mars by the end of this century. Over.
Armstrong: (Garbled) 8.2 miles [15.2 km], 40 feet per second [12.2 m/s].
Armstrong: See it?
