Acquisition of Signal |
Public Affairs Officer: This is Apollo Control [at] 94 hours, 21 minutes into the flight of Apollo 16. Less then a minute away now from acquisition of data and voice from the spacecraft. Coming around now part way through the eleventh lunar revolution. The communications with the two spacecraft have been split at this time, that is a separate CapCom or spacecraft communicator. We'll be talking to Ken Mattingly aboard Casper. Ed Mitchell is the Command Module CapCom. Jim Irwin remains as CapCom to communicate with Young and Duke aboard Orion. During this eleventh revolution, we have acquisition of signal. Let's stand by for communications with Orion.
[Although we have two different CapComs, the transcripts do not differentiate between them until after 094:44. After that, the Technical Transcript separates out the communications between MCC and the CM and MCC and the LM. However, before then, it is not possible to determine with absolute confidence which CapCom is speaking, except when the Apollo 16 crew address the CapComs by name,. The transcript will simply identify the speaker as "CapCom" until 094:44.]
094 23 06 Duke: Hello, Houston. Ole Orion; how do you read? Over.
094 23 09 CapCom: Orion, this is Houston. Read you loud and clear.
094 23 14 Duke: Okay, Jim. We're zipping right on through the checklist. We've got the PGNS up, the docked coarse align done, the landing gear's deployed, and the only thing we haven't done is really what you need to see. And we're ready to start in on the S-Band checks and bring up the steerable. Over.
094 23 34 CapCom: Okay, Charlie.
094 23 43 Duke: Okay, while guidance is - Let me give you some angles. We had a Verb 06 Noun 20 that was done at 94:20:20. The LM angles were plus 29465, plus 28996, plus 35502.
094 23 XX Duke (LM onboard): How do you read, Jim?
094 24 13 CapCom: Roger; we copy. Copied the LM as plus 29465, plus 28996, plus 35502. Over.
094 24 25 Duke: That's affirmative. The Command Module are plus 00269, plus 10931, plus 00472. Over.
094 24 37 CapCom: Roger. I copied plus 00269, plus 10931, plus 00470 [sic]. Over.
094 24 48 Duke: That's firm. It sounds like we've got good comm on Primary S-band and T/R and Secondary Power Amp. I'm going Secondary S-Band T/R and Primary Power Amp. Over.
094 25 XX Duke (LM onboard): I got a lot of...
094 25 00 CapCom: Roger. We're standing by.
094 25 04 Duke: Okay. I think it's my switch you're doing.
094 25 04 Duke (LM onboard): Okay. Think it's my switch here, John.
094 25 08 Young: Huh? Yeah, it is. Carry on.
094 25 10 Duke (LM onboard): Okay.
094 25 11 Young (LM onboard): Try your other one.
094 25 13 Duke (LM onboard): See, it doesn't do it here.
094 25 13 CapCom: Casper, this is Houston. We want narrow on the S-band.
094 25 23 Mattingly (LM onboard): You've got it.
094 25 27 Young (LM onboard): Okay, Jim. How do you read the old Cdr?
094 25 30 Duke (LM onboard): Wait a minute. Let's get locked up here.
094 25 32 Young (LM onboard): Okay.
094 25 46 Young: Is that affirmative?
094 25 45 Young (LM onboard): Did that ruin it?
094 25 46 Duke (LM onboard): Yeah, you - go ahead. You ought have him.
094 25 47 Duke: Yeah, you can go ahead [garble]. Okay, Jim; how do you read? Over.
094 25 49 Young (LM onboard): Okay, Jim. How do you read? Over.
094 25 58 CapCom: Orion, this is Houston. Go ahead.
094 26 03 Duke: How do you read, Jim? Over.
094 26 05 CapCom: I read you, but there's a lot of noise in the background.
094 26 15 Duke: Okay. We have Primary Evap activation time as 93:33:30; and we're standing by for the AGS abort constants. Over. Or...
094 26 27 CapCom: Roger...
094 26 28 Duke: ...let's do the steerable first and get - and get you the down-link off the E-memory dump. Over.
094 26 36 CapCom: Okay. We're standing by for the steerable.
094 26 46 Duke (LM onboard): Okay, PM, Secondary, Primary, Voice...
094 26 48 CapCom: Casper, this is Houston. Will you go Auto?
094 26 55 Mattingly (LM onboard): You're Auto.
094 28 02 Young (LM onboard): What have we got there, Charlie?
094 28 04 Duke (LM onboard): Bringing up the steerable.
094 28 05 Young (LM onboard): Okay. You want me to help you?
[End of LM tape until 095 32 03]
094 25 03 Young: We've got a lot [garble].
094 28 24 CapCom: Casper, this is Houston. How do you read?
094 28 30 Mattingly: Loud and clear.
094 28 31 CapCom: Roger, Casper. I have a PIPA bias update for you.
094 29 18 CapCom: Orion, this is Houston. We want you to go Low Bit Rate and then bring up the High Gain.
094 29 30 Duke: Okay.
094 29 46 CapCom: Orion, this is Houston. The pitch should be 99 on the steerable.
094 30 18 Duke: Okay, Houston. We got the aft Omni, I can't - when I move the yaw drive, the yaw indicator does not move on the steerable, and I do not hear any grinding noise. Over.
094 30 34 CapCom: Roger, I copy no response on the yaw drive.
094 30 41 Duke: That's affirmative.
094 30 42 CapCom: Roger. if you're ready, Charlie, I'll read you the AGS abort constants.
094 30 49 Duke: Okay, go ahead.
094 30 50 CapCom: Okay, 224 beginning: plus 60511, plus 29419, plus 60383, plus 00565, minus 32776, minus 54412. Over.
094 31 21 Duke: Roger. Copy, starting with 224: 60511, 29419, 60383, 00565, 3 - minus 32776, 54412. Over.
094 31 41 CapCom: Okay. On 673, it was minus 54412.
094 31 49 Duke: Roger. That's what I got - minus 54412.
094 31 54 CapCom: Good readback.
094 33 00 Duke: Houston, Orion.
094 33 02 CapCom: Go ahead, Orion.
094 33 06 Duke: Okay. I can't seem to get the yaw out of the stowed position, minus 12 on the indicator, and I cannot hear it drive when I move this dial - just like the - in pitch I can hear it drive and the needle follows. Over.
094 33 20 CapCom: I - We read you, Charlie. We want you to go through a little procedure here to essentially get you back to a start position. We want you to go to Slew on the S-Band. Check both S-Band circuit breakers on 11 and 16. Select Pitch of minus 75 and Yaw of minus 12: wait 30 seconds and then go to an acquisition and we'll have some angles for you.
094 33 47 Duke: Okay, that's where we are.
094 34 27 CapCom: Casper, this is Houston. Go to Accept. And, Orion, the angles for your S-band are Pitch of 99 and Yaw of 16.
094 34 47 Duke: Copy. 99 and 16.
094 34 51 CapCom: And, Casper, this is Houston. I have that PIPA bias for you whenever you're ready to copy.
094 35 02 Duke: Go ahead.
094 35 04 CapCom: Okay, on the PIPA bias: Address 1454, Data 03521; Address 1456, Data 76274. Over.
094 35 25 Mattingly: Okay, Address 1454, 03521; Address 1456, 76274.
094 35 36 CapCom: Okay, on the 1456, couldn't hear your readback, Ken. The data is 76274.
094 35 45 Mattingly: Roger; 76274.
094 35 50 CapCom: Sounded like a good readback.
094 35 57 CapCom: And, Casper, this is Houston with a DAP load for you whenever you' re ready.
094 36 19 Mattingly: Go ahead.
094 36 34 Mattingly: Go ahead, Jim.
094 36 43 CapCom: Casper, this is Houston. We're finished with the computer.
094 36 50 Mattingly: Okay, I'm in Block, and I'm standing by.
094 36 57 Duke: Houston, Orion.
094 37 15 CapCom: Orion, this is Houston. Will you select Down Voice Backup...
094 37 17 Duke: Houston, Orion.
094 37 40 Duke: Voice Backup. How do you read?
094 37 49 CapCom: Roger. We're reading you but still excessive noise down here.
094 37 51 Duke: Okay. Was it as noisy on the other transmitter receiver and power amp?
094 37 59 CapCom: I think it was about the same, Charlie.
094 38 05 Duke: Okay, be advised - we went through the steerable Step 2 on Page 3-62, and the yaw still does not indicate that it's moving, and we cannot hear a grind. Though, with those angles, I get a- that I got of 99 and minus 12, I get a signal strength of greater than 3. I went Track Mode to Auto and Up-Link - and when I went Track Mode to Auto, it sounded like the thing is setting up there just constantly oscillating and the - the pitch needle varies plus or minus 10. The signal strength stays pretty constant. In fact, no matter what position I select on the S-Band antenna, the signal strength stays up around 38 or so.
094 38 59 CapCom: Roger; we copy.
094 39 04 Duke: Okay. Could we press on with the Aft Omni in that configuration? Over.
094 39 12 CapCom: Yeah, let's press on.
094 39 16 Duke: Okay. Can you get an E-memory dump? We're ready for the E-memory dump.
094 39 22 CapCom: Stand by one.
094 39 30 CapCom: Okay, let's bypass that because we need high bit rate.
094 39 38 Duke: Okay. You can't get high bit rate on the omni?
094 39 43 CapCom: Not until we get to the - 210 up.
094 39 50 Duke: Okay. You will bypass the Up-Link and we'll go on and do the - the Ascent Battery checkout.
094 40 01 CapCom: Okay, we're ready for the battery checkout.
094 40 02 Young: Okay. Is it okay to do the P52 without - Okay to do the P52 as soon as we get into darkness here?
094 40 31 Young: Houston, can I do the P52 when I get into the darkness? Over.
094 40 37 CapCom: Stand by. Okay, we're preparing a REFSMMAT for you now, John, that you'll have to put in manually. Then you'll be able to proceed.
094 40 53 Young: Roger. [garble]
094 40 58 Duke: Can't use that.
094 41 15 Duke: Here's the P27 pad.
094 41 21 Young: Where's the G&C Checklist?
094 41 50 CapCom: Okay, Orion. This is Houston. I have a - a P27 for you, one for REFSMMAT and the other's your state vector. Over.
094 42 05 Young: Okay; go ahead.
094 42 10 CapCom: Stand by 1.
094 42 18 CapCom: Orion, we - we'd like you to go back to Slew and place the antenna at the Stow position, minus 75 and minus 12 and just leave it there.
094 42 31 Duke: Tell them okay. We got it.
094 42 33 Young: Okay, we got it.
094 42 34 CapCom: And, Charlie; if you're ready to copy, I have this P27 update for the REFSMMAT and state vector for you.
094 42 43 Duke: I'm ready to copy.
094 42 45 CapCom: Okay. Index is 24: 01731, 12560, 22624, 66315, 75546, 71001, 47526, 02044, 04020, 70164, 73753, 15651, 30651, 64233, 64471, 65647, 63433, 74021, 76063. Over.
[At 094:44 a separate communications loop is established between Casper and Mission Control. To make the transcript more readable, the communications relevant to Casper and Orion will be presented as two separate blocks between 094:44 and 095:27. Each will indicate the other only where necessary to cover communication between the two spacecraft.
[We start with communications between Orion and Mission Control; Casper's communications restart here.]
094 44 01 Duke: Okay, readback. Index 24 - index is 24: 01731, 12560, 22624, 66315, 75546, 71001, 47526, 02044, 04020, 70164, 73753, 15651, 30651, 64233, 64471, 65647, 63433, 74021, 76063.
094 45 00 CapCom: Okay, that's a good readback, I have your state vector for you when you're ready.
094 45 07 Duke: Roger. Go.
094 45 12 Irwin: Okay, if you're ready, Charlie, on the state vector. Index 21: 01501, 77775, 77776, 57602, 00301, 37450, 00155, 20621, 20111, 314503 00662, 17260, 76004, 55226, 04076, 17120. Over.
094 46 19 Duke: Okay. State vector, 21 Index: 01501, 77775, 77776, 57602, 00301, 37450, 00155, 20621, 20111, 31450, 00662, 17260, 76004, 55226, 04176, 17120.
094 46 59 Irwin: Roger. On item 20 - it's 04076. Over.
094 47 09 Young: What you got?
094 47 11 Duke: That's what I have, 04076.
094 47 13 Irwin: Roger.
094 47 25 Duke: Back to [garble].
094 47 29 Young: [Garble]. I can't believe it.
094 47 44 Irwin: And, Orion. This is Houston. I have a sep Pad whenever y'all are ready.
094 47 51 Duke: Okay. Wait one.
094 48 34 Irwin: Orion, this is Houston with another procedure for the S-band.
094 48 41 Duke: Roger.
094 48 44 Irwin: Roger. We want you to open the S-Band Antenna circuit breaker on panel 11, wait 1 minute, and then try acquisition again.
094 48 58 Duke: Roger...
094 48 59 Irwin: After 1 minute, you close the circuit breaker and try an acquisition.
094 49 05 Duke: Roger.
094 49 17 Duke: It did.
094 49 19 Young: That is for state vector, okay?
094 49 21 Duke: We'll get the Verb 74.
094 49 24 Young: Verb 71.
094 49 25 Duke: Verb 71 Enter.
094 49 28 Young: Enter.
094 49 29 Duke: 24, Enter.
094 49 30 Young: 24, Enter. Doesn't say that.
094 49 35 Duke: Okay, Houston. How do you - you load this state vector by a Verb 71, and then a 24 Enter, then enter the numbers, right?
094 49 45 Young: No, that's the REFSMMAT. The...
094 29 46 Irwin: Stand by.
094 49 47 Young: ...state vector's the 24 [garble]. See - see, we've got a flashing 24.
094 49 58 Duke: Now when you do a 24, you're going to get it. The Verb 71 and then you've got 24 index.
094 50 12 Duke: Now, starting with 1174, okay?
094 50 17 Irwin: Orion, this is Houston. Roger. You should enter it just as it is read up on the pad.
094 50 21 Young: Understand. Verb 71; then a 24 Enter; then a 01731 Enter; and so on.
094 50 25 Irwin: That should be correct.
094 50 37 Duke: 01731 Enter.
094 50 42 Young: Okay.
094 50 24 Duke: 12560 Enter.

094 52 59 Duke: Okay, that was a mistake on 701 - Okay, now let me see, that's...
094 53 07 Young: It says delete. You got to check it.
094 53 29 Irwin: Okay, Orion. This is Houston. We're looking at Page 1-26 in the G&N Dictionary to review the data.
094 53 38 Young: Roger. So are we.
094 53 42 Duke: Okay. Now, we got one that's wrong.
094 53 45 Young: Yeah.
094 53 46 Irwin: Yes,a, we heard that, and we believe it's Number 13.
094 53 51 Duke: Verb - We concur, Jim.
094 54 06 Young: Enter.
094 54 08 Duke: Enter.
094 54 11 Young: Okay. R-1 data. Noun 15.

094 55 56 Duke: 62044.
094 55 58 Young: Just a moment. That ain't what it says. 02044. Okay, mark that one. That's wrong.
094 56 07 Duke: Okay, let's change it right now.
094 56 11 Young: Change data load component identifier; correct Data E. What's a component identifier?
094 56 33 Young: [Garble]. Okay.
094 56 34 Irwin: Okay, Orion. This is Houston. Line 11 should be 02044. Over.
094 56 42 Young: Okay. That's what it is.
094 56 44 Irwin: Okay.
094 56 47 Young: [Garble]. 4020.
094 56 50 Duke: Yeah. Now that is what's wrong.
094 56 52 Young: Okay; we fixed it.
094 56 55 Duke: Okay.
094 57 05 Young: Load component identifier.
094 57 08 Duke: And that's 13. 13 and - I think it's Noun, John. Hey, Jim, on the checklist, when it says "Load component identifier," we got - 13 is wrong. What do we load in there?
094 57 29 Irwin: A 13 Enter.
094 57 34 Duke: Okay.
094 57 36 Young: 13. Okay. Enter. Okay.
094 57 45 Duke: Okay, load 70 - 70 0164 Enter, and the next one is 15 -
094 58 05 Young: I don't think it took.
094 58 08 Duke: You skipped one. Did you skip one? Hey, why don't you do the RCS pressurization [garble].
094 58 16 Young: Okay.
094 58 29 Irwin: Orion, this is Houston. We'd like you to close that circuit breaker and try an acquisition on the steerable.
094 58 40 Duke: Okay, it worked.
094 58 53 Duke: Okay, Jim; the yaw is still not working.
094 58 55 Irwin: Understand. Yaw is still not working.
094 59 00 Duke: That's affirmative.
095 00 06 Young: You doing it over [garble]? All right, good idea.
095 00 32 Young: True.
095 00 42 Young: Okay. Logic B has got a needle.
095 00 49 Young: I'll get it.
095 01 11 Duke: Okay, Houston. We're pressurizing RCS now.
095 01 14 Irwin: Roger. Understand you're pressurizing RCS.
095 02 20 CapCom: Okay, Orion. The RCS press looks good.

095 04 32 Young: That's all right, Charlie. What he said, wasn't it?
095 04 38 Duke: That ain't right. We're going to pump all the RCS into the APS tank, looks like to me.
095 04 51 Young: Well, I just closed it again.
095 04 53 Duke: Good.
095 04 56 Irwin: Okay, Orion. The RCS pressure is creeping up on system A.

095 22 52 Young: Okay. Houston, [garble] 93...
095 23 01 Irwin: Orion. This is Houston with some words on your Hot Fire Check. You have a Go to do that Hot Fire Check on the back side. We'd like you to use System A. Of course, the procedure for that is to close Main SOV [Shut Off Valve] on System B and to open the Crossfeed so that you'll be using just System A. Over.
095 23 24 Duke: Say that again, Jim?
095 23 27 Irwin: Roger. For your hot fire check on the back side, we want you to use system A. So we'd like you to close the Main SOV System B and open the Crossfeed. Over.

[Combined communications restart here. Now for Casper's communications from 095:42.]
094 44 02 Hartsfield: Casper, Houston.
094 44 07 Mattingly: Go ahead.
094 44 08 Hartsfield: Good morning to you. Got a couple of pads for you, Ken. I got the CSM DAP load, which is copied at 95:55.
094 44 22 Mattingly: Okay, Hank. Just make sure that I get a break here about 94:49. Okay, go ahead with your pads.
094 44 37 Hartsfield: Roger. Weight, 39298; Noun 48, plus 0.49, plus 1.22.
094 44 57 Mattingly: Okay, this is at 95:55. Weight 39298, plus 0.49, plus 1.22.
094 45 08 CapCom: Roger; that's correct.
094 45 12 Mattingly: And, Hank, Jim's still up on our loop.
094 45 16 Hartsfield: Roger. He just went off, Ken.
094 45 21 Mattingly: Okay. Did you get my readback?
094 45 25 Hartsfield: That's affirmative. It was good.
094 45 34 Mattingly: And we ought to orbit down here at eight miles. This is really neat.
094 45 54 Mattingly: Did you have anything else for me, Hank?
094 45 56 Hartsfield: Roger; I had your P24 Pad for about 96:45. I think we've got time to get that in.
094 46 04 Mattingly: Yes, sir; let's go ahead. I'm ready.
094 46 07 Hartsfield: Okay. The target is 16-3. TI, 096:43:59, 096:45:37.0, 096:46:07, 096:46:29. Attitude, 015, 296, 000; north, 03 nautical miles.
094 46 55 Mattingly: Okay, Hank. I thought 16-3 was to be used only for high altitude. That's kind of a large crater, isn't it?
094 47 06 Hartsfield: Stand by, and I'll check it.
094 47 08 Mattingly: Maybe that's the only one that's in the track. Okay, let me read it back to you, and just verify that later. 096:43:59, 96:45:37.0, 96:46:07, 96:46:29; roll, 015; pitch, 296; yaw, 000; north, 3 miles on 16-3.
094 47 32 Hartsfield: Good readback, Ken.
094 47 35 Mattingly: Okay. And I'm going to go out the window here for just a minute. And I've got the VHF off so I can talk to you. If the LMs call me or something, you might give me a call.
094 47 47 Hartsfield: Okay, will do.
094 50 17 Mattingly: Okay, I'm coming up on the edge of the Kant Plateau now and, from down here, that looks like a real steep rise. That's very impressive. But there's nothing that's particularly significant about the topography or the texture, it just rises up.
094 50 31 Hartsfield: Roger; copy.
094 51 08 Mattingly: And all the surface here, Hank, has this striation effect to it. It's like we were looking at down there at - pictures of the Silver Spur and so forth. But this is on the horizontal surface. And it all has that same effect.
094 51 21 Hartsfield: Hey, that's really interesting.
094 52 29 Mattingly: Okay, Hank, we slipped by it. Coming up upside down and backwards almost vertical like this, I didn't get a very good hack at it, but I did get a - one look at it, and you can identify North and South Ray and all the features there, and got a look at that old Erastostenion [sic] Crater that's over to the southwest that shows beautiful lineaments in the photographs. And they aren't there visually from - from here. It looks like it has the same interior that all the rest of the things do. And I'll talk more about that later.
094 53 04 Hartsfield: Roger.
094 53 20 Mattingly: Okay, I'm ready to go to work.
094 53 26 CapCom: Did you get any photos in there?
094 53 30 Mattingly: Got just one. Just had one glance at it before it was occulted by the LM.
094 53 36 CapCom: Roger.
094 53 45 CapCom: Ken, did you get a Flight Plan change at a hundred hours and 20 minutes to charge Battery A?
094 54 07 Mattingly: No, sir.
094 54 08 CapCom: Okay, I couldn't tell from here whether that'd gone up or not. That - At a hundred hours, 20 minutes, we'd like to add "Charge Battery A."
094 54 19 Mattingly: Okay, charge Battery A at a hundred hours and 20 minutes, and I'm gonna go get my helmet and gloves on here. Then we'll do a little suit circuit integrity check. Got anything that we ought to do first?
094 54 38 CapCom: I'm just coming on. Did you happen to take a look at that docking latch? Okay, I've Just been told that's all squared away. So I don't - don't know of anything that needs to be done now before you go ahead with the integrity check.
094 54 56 Mattingly: Okay. I'm going to press into that.
095 02 16 CapCom: Casper, Houston. For your information, the LM's about four or five minutes from hot fire.
095 02 24 Mattingly: Okay, I'm still on a tight dead band.
095 02 28 CapCom: Okays I was just giving you a warning, in case you wanted to bring your VHF up or whatever you need to do to talk to them.
095 02 36 Mattingly: Okay, thank you.
095 05 11 Mattingly: Orion, Casper.
095 05 14 Young (LM): Go ahead, Casper.
095 05 17 Mattingly: Okay, Orion. I understand you're coming up on the hot fire check, and I think I'm supposed to go to a Wide Dead Band. Can I have about two minutes to complete my suit check?
095 05 25 Young (LM): Roger. We're not going there yet. I'll tell you when.
095 05 28 Mattingly: Okay. Thank you, sir.
095 05 33 CapCom: Casper, Houston. If you've got a sec there, I'd like to give you your sep Pad. Stand by; I'll wait until you get through with the check.
095 06 06 Mattingly: Houston, did you call Casper?
095 06 09 CapCom: Roger, Ken. I'll wait until you get through with your integrity check. Give me a call when you're through, please.
095 06 17 Mattingly: Okay, thank you. There's not much else I can do.
095 06 56 Young (LM): Okay, Ken. Stay at Min Dead Band. We'll do a P52 here.
095 07 03 Mattingly: Okay, I'm still in Min Dead Band. Thank you.
095 13 50 Mattingly: Okay, Casper's completed with a suit circuit integrity check.
095 13 55 CapCom: Real good, Ken. Can you copy a sep pad now?
095 14 12 Mattingly: Go ahead.
095 14 13 CapCom: Roger. Noun 33, 096:13:31.00. And your attitude is good except pitch is 105.
095 14 44 Mattingly: Okay, I copy. Noun 33, 096:13:31.00. The attitude: 000, 105, and 000.
095 14 56 CapCom: Good readback, Ken. And in regard to that question you had about 16-3, your present groundtrack is about 15,000 feet south of the preplanned, and that puts 16-1 outside the acceptable limits; 16-3 is closer to the landing site, and they would like for you to go ahead and use that.
095 15 20 Mattingly: Okay.
095 15 25 CapCom: And I guess the message is there, Ken, just shoot the center.
095 15 33 Mattingly: All right, I'll do that.
[There appears to be parts missing of a conversation between Ken Mattingly and Orion's crew over the following few minutes. This is probably due to the poor comms, and the lack of either LM or CM on-board recordings for this period.]
095 17 14 Mattingly: Okay, I don't have it Off yet, John. What happened to our hot fire?
095 17 20 Duke (LM): We're still doing a P52. We'll get to you in a minute.
095 17 24 Mattingly: Okay, and you want B-3 Off now.
095 17 32 Mattingly: B-3 is Off.
095 24 18 Mattingly: Okay, say when you want the 620.
095 24 31 Mattingly: Okay, that's plus 2.68, plus 109.19, plus 5.03.
095 26 24 Duke: Okay, Ken, we need Wide Dead Band and Att Hold.

095 26 34 Mattingly: Orion, say again, please.
095 26 37 CapCom: Roger. This is Houston, Casper. We're about two minutes from LOS.
095 26 46 Mattingly: Okay, Houston. Stand by. Break. Orion, I am in Wide Dead Band, Att Hold. Okay, I'll go Free when you give me the call. Break. Houston, this is Casper. Go ahead.
095 27 05 CapCom: Roger, Ken. We've got about a minute until LOS. I was just telling you.
095 27 11 Mattingly: Hi, gang.
Public Affairs Officer: This is Apollo Control. We've had loss of signal toward the end of the Eleventh lunar revolution of Apollo 16. Still docked at this time, however, by the time that the two spacecraft come around the front side of the Moon again at the start of the 12th revolution they will have undocked. I have a schedule of Ground Elapsed Time of 96:13, about four minutes, correction six minutes prior to first acquisition on orbit number 12 as the spacecraft went around the corner. Duke and Young were conducting the Reaction Control System hot fire checks aboard Lunar Module Orion. There has been some difficulty in getting the steerable S-Band antenna on Orion to perform - particularly to yaw to the proper settings for providing good communications to Earth. However, for Revolution 13 which is the landing revolution we will have the 202 foot, 210 foot [64 metre] large communications dish at Goldstone, California in acquisition of the spacecraft and all the high bit rate data, voice and all of the forms of communication with Orion can be handled through the omni antennas, provided we do have the 210 foot antenna. There was some imbalance between Reaction Control System regulator pressures between Systems A and B; that was the reason why the crew was instructed to open the cross feed to allow some of the propellant from System A to go into the Ascent [Stage] propellant storage tanks. The propellant is not lost in this operation. It merely is transferred to another tank. Also the crew is instructed to use System A only for the RCS hot fire, also to take some of the load off of the RCS System A. We're some 45 minutes away from acquisition in revolution Number 12. At LOS, Apollo 16 at [sic] an orbit measuring 10.3 by 58.9 nautical miles [19.1 by 109.1 kilometres], and at 95:32 Ground Elapsed Time, this is Apollo Control.

095 45 10 Duke (LM comm): That's affirmative, Ken.
Public Affairs Officer: This is Apollo Control at 95 hours, 45 minutes Ground Elapsed Time. Some 31 minutes away from acquisition of Apollo 16 as it starts around the front side of the Moon on orbit number 12. To summarize the apparent problem with the Lunar Module steerable antenna, if by the time of power descent and landing the problem has not sorted itself out and the antenna is, indeed, out of commission, right now, it appears that the crew cannot get the antenna to rotate in the yaw movement. It will be possible for all data in voice, high bit rate data, to be relayed to Earth through the Omni antennas starting with revolution number 13 which is the landing revolution. The 210 foot antenna in Goldstone, California will be the prime site. There's no apparent concern here in Mission Control with the potential loss of the steerable antenna. Some mention as been made of the fact that the meters that indicate antenna position sometimes fail or hang in the one indication, when actually, the antenna is properly rotating, but over the next two revolutions, this situation should sort itself out. At any rate, loss of the antenna does not mean that the landing will be aborted. We're still in a Go situation. And at next acquisition, the two spacecraft, Casper and Orion, will have been separated by some six minutes prior to acquisition. 28 minutes now until acquisition of signal from Casper and Orion. At 95:48, this Apollo Control.
095 45 15 Young (LM onboard): What do you have to do on this RCS?
095 45 20 Duke (LM onboard): We're okay now. We'll use RCS B for a little while.

095 50 57 Duke (LM onboard): Go.
095 50 58 Mattingly (CM comm): Okay, I've got us about 22½ minutes from undocking, and I'm at 3 psi [20 kPa] Delta-P in the tunnel. Estimate another [garble] to get it [garble] down.
095 51 11 Duke (LM onboard): Answer him, John.
095 51 14 Young (LM comm): Okay, Ken. That's fine.
095 51 19 Duke (LM onboard): Let's see what happens here.
095 51 21 Mattingly (CM comm): You guys don't have any problems over there?
[Quoted as "You guys got any problems" on CM tape]
095 51 26 Young (LM comm): Yeah, we can't get our Computer Activity light to go out. See, it's integrating somewhere. I wonder if it's a - if it's a LM state - CSM state vector. That's what it is - I got the idea.
095 51 40 Duke (LM onboard): What?
095 51 41 Young (LM onboard): How do you transfer the...
095 51 35 Mattingly (CM onboard): Well, that's a busy little thing anyway.
095 51 44 Mattingly (CM comm): Nothing in the - we do not undock until you get AOS?
095 51 47 Young (LM onboard): No, we undock.
095 51 50 Duke (LM comm): Oh, no, we're ready to go.
095 51 50 Mattingly (CM comm): Okay.
095 51 52 Duke (LM comm): We just don't have your state vector in, and that's - that's our problem. It's not - it's having trouble bringing your state vector up.
095 51 58 Young (LM onboard): I know what we should do. We should do a Verb 66.
095 51 59 Mattingly (CM comm): Okay.
095 52 03 Young (LM onboard): Well, well, wait. Let me look and see if that's what we should do.
095 52 06 Duke (LM onboard): I'm not sure you can do a Verb 66.
095 52 07 Young (LM onboard): I'm not sure you can in here, but they do it in P27.
095 52 12 Duke (LM onboard): John?
095 52 13 Young (LM onboard): Huh?
095 52 14 Duke (LM onboard): Let me read the book, okay?
095 52 15 Young (LM onboard): Okay. I can't - just look where the verbs are, Charlie.
095 52 23 Duke (LM onboard): That's what I'm going to do. That's nouns.
095 52 36 Mattingly (CM comm): Okay, I'm doing a routine check on the tunnel. As soon as I complete this, you can go ahead and do your relief valve check.
095 52 38 Duke (LM comm): Okay.
095 52 39 Duke (LM onboard): That's - that's what we need - need.
095 52 40 Young (LM onboard): See that? Let's try it.
095 52 43 Duke (LM onboard): Okay, doing a Verb 96.
095 52 48 Duke (LM onboard): Okay. No, wait a minu...
095 52 49 Mattingly (CM comm): I'll wait - I'll make this a one-minute check.
095 52 53 Duke (LM onboard): John, you should've done a Verb 96 and stopped that integration first. Okay, now Verb 66. Now call P00.
095 53 16 Young (LM onboard): That didn't fix it.
095 53 18 Duke (LM onboard): That takes awhile. See? Good, we got it.
095 53 24 Young (LM onboard): Okay.
095 53 25 Duke (LM onboard): Pro. Okay, let's look at P00 now.
095 53 30 Young (LM onboard): We're looking at it.
095 53 32 Duke (LM onboard): Okay, we fixed it. Okay, what we need to do is get Ken's - state vector.
095 53 43 Young (LM onboard): Well, Ken's state vector is the same as ours, Charlie.
095 53 47 Duke (LM onboard): How about that? (Laughter) Better be. (Laughter)
095 53 50 Young (LM onboard): Yeah.
095 53 53 Duke (LM onboard): (Laughter) Sorry about that.
095 53 58 Young (LM onboard): That's why that's an - I knew that's what it was. What is this pressure you've got to keep lower than, Charlie? Explain that to me.
[Begin Lunar Rev 12 at 095 54]
095 54 07 Mattingly (CM comm): Okay, I'm back in tunnel vent and I'm gonna bring my roll engines on, and you're clear to check your relief valve.
095 54 15 Young (LM comm): Okay.
095 54 16 Duke (LM comm): Okay.

096 01 13 Young (LM onboard): Yeah, well, don't worry about that.
096 01 14 Duke (LM onboard): All fogged up. How about turning the window heater on? Want to try a window heater?
096 01 19 Young (LM onboard): Want to try yours for a second?
096 01 21 Duke (LM onboard): Yeah, let's see what happens.
096 01 22 Young (LM onboard): You don't want to leave it on too long, Charlie. So don't forget.
096 01 26 Duke (LM onboard): Okay. Okay, I'm going to open System B, so we'll have two jets, two -
096 01 35 Young (LM comm): Okay, Charlie. Okay, Ken. Are you in undocking attitude now?
096 01 38 Mattingly (CM comm): That's affirmative; 12 minutes.
096 01 42 Young (LM comm): Okay.
096 01 52 Young (LM comm): Okay, Ken. Give me a Verb 06 Noun 20 on my mark.
096 01 54 Mattingly (CM comm): Stand by.

096 03 18 Duke (LM onboard): 359.51. Okay.
096 03 57 Young (LM onboard): How much fuel can we transfer into the ascent tanks before it becomes too full to fly?
096 04 01 Duke (LM onboard): Well, it's the pressure I think that - that they're worried about - on the ascent tanks.
096 04 09 Mattingly (CM comm): Okay. And let me make a small trim maneuver. Looks like it should be less than a half degree, unless you'd like to just leave it alone. Either way.
096 04 21 Young (LM comm): Okay. It's up to you.
096 04 33 Mattingly (CM comm): Okay, let's leave it as is.
096 04 53 Young (LM onboard): Okay, Charlie. The tape is going back in.
096 04 56 Duke (LM onboard): Well, I never did get to use it, but that's okay. Go ahead.
096 04 59 Young (LM onboard): Okay. What el - what else we got to check here?
096 05 07 Duke (LM onboard): Wait a minute, wait a minute. Okay, go ahead.
096 05 11 Young (LM onboard): Just get the book.
096 05 12 Duke (LM onboard): Yeah. What's my f-stop for the 167
096 05 14 Young (LM onboard): Be easy to find. There's LM3/DAC/10/CEN [sic] - ULC.
096 05 23 Duke (LM onboard): Okay.
096 05 26 Young (LM onboard): Mount Timeline Book. It's time. Okay, checklist [garble] check attitude. Verb - Verb 48 Enter. 21 Enter. 22012 Enter. Pro. We got the right weight, huh?
096 05 48 Duke (LM onboard): Yeah. What's the DAC should be - I mean, there's Hasselblad/ DC/60/HEX-A, (f/11, 250, focus).
096 06 01 Young (LM onboard): Okay. Configure circuit breakers per unlocking chart, [garble]...
096 06 04 Duke (LM onboard): Okay. Go ahead, and I'll get the camera out.
096 06 56 Duke (LM onboard): Nothing like a helmet full of water.
096 06 58 Young (LM onboard): Is it full, Charlie?
096 06 59 Duke (LM onboard): Just about.
096 07 05 Young (LM onboard): Here's your [garble], Charlie. Wait a minute. Let me check to be sure.
096 07 23 Duke (LM onboard): John, that window heater's working.
096 07 34 Duke (LM onboard): Where's your hook?
096 07 36 Young (LM onboard): I don't know.
096 07 57 Young (LM onboard): Charlie, I'm going to pull it open. I don't think we're supposed to leave them run too long.
096 08 02 Duke (LM onboard): It's okay.
096 08 03 Young (LM onboard): It worked, huh?
096 08 05 Duke (LM onboard): Yeah, it's working. Please close it. Then, up in the - you can just let it close - just a few more minutes, it'll be fine. Okay, why don't you open yours?
096 08 11 Young (LM onboard): I did.
096 08 12 Duke (LM onboard): I mean close yours.
096 08 14 Young (LM onboard): I did.
096 08 17 Duke (LM onboard): Okay.
096 08 37 Duke (LM onboard): John, can you see - is my thing leaking right now?
096 08 41 Young (LM onboard): I can't tell, Charlie. Doesn't look like it. Is it leaking?
096 08 48 Duke (LM onboard): My whole helmet's full of water. I mean my whole comm carrier. My hair is soaked.
096 08 54 Young (LM onboard): You're kidding.
096 08 55 Duke (LM onboard): Huh-uh.
096 08 59 Young (LM onboard): Well, it leaks every time you put your - your thing up against it, that's for sure.
096 09 02 Duke (LM onboard): Is it leaking now?
096 09 04 Young (LM onboard): Yeah. Every time you put it up against there, it leaks.
096 09 08 Duke (LM onboard): Like that, huh?
096 09 09 Young (LM onboard): Yeah. That makes it squirt out.
096 09 11 Duke (LM onboard): Okay. That's what's happening.
096 09 12 Young (LM onboard): You never had that happen to you before?
096 09 14 Duke (LM onboard): Yeah, but -
096 09 16 Young (LM onboard): It never bothered you in one g.
096 09 19 Duke (LM onboard): Yeah. Never bothered me in one g.
096 09 22 Young (LM onboard): Okay. Now what's undocking time?
096 09 23 Duke (LM onboard): 96:13, about four minutes.
096 09 35 Young (LM comm): Okay, Ken. How much to undocking?
096 09 37 Mattingly (CM comm): Three minutes and a half.
096 09 40 Young (LM comm): Okay. It's gonna undock at 96:13 even?
096 09 44 Mattingly (CM comm): 96:13:31.
096 09 46 Young (LM comm): Okay.
096 09.53 Duke (LM onboard): We'll stow the Activation Checklist - Oh, I can't. Harnesses are too tight. Do that later.
096 10 24 Young (LM onboard): Are we through with the undocking - through the activation books, Charlie? I didn't do the rate gyro test.
096 10 31 Duke (LM onboard): Are we in attitude now?
096 10 33 Young (LM onboard): Yeah.
096 10 34 Duke (LM onboard): Okay, let's go through this little one.
096 10 35 Young (LM onboard): Okay.
096 10 50 Young (LM onboard): It looks good to me.
096 10 51 Duke (LM onboard): Plus or minus 5 - 25 over there? No, that - that one.
096 10 59 Young (LM onboard): That's got it.
096 11 04 Duke (LM onboard): Okays it's got it. Let's see, are you hit - does your mike hit your valve? Let me see. Turn around towards me.
096 11 13 Young (LM onboard): When it does, I get squirted.
096 11 14 Duke (LM onboard): You do?
096 11 15 Young (LM onboard): Yeah. I had to really be careful.
096 11 26 Duke (LM onboard): Okay, check attitude. The Verb 48.
096 11 30 Young (LM onboard): I did that.
096 11 32 Duke (LM onboard): Okay, LM weight we got.
096 11 33 Young (LM onboard): You got it.
096 11 34 Duke (LM onboard): Okay, we got the angles.
096 11 35 Young (LM onboard): I got the angles.
096 11 36 Duke (LM onboard): Okay. We can call...
096 11 37 Young (LM onboard): All we need to do is call P47.
096 11 38 Duke (LM onboard):... P47. Okay, you can close my window heater - open my window heater. It's clear now. Beautiful. Is yours closed, John?
096 11 48 Young (LM onboard): Yeah.
096 11 49 Duke (LM onboard): Okay. It'll clear it off in a little bit. Takes about ten minutes or so.
096 12 01 Duke (LM onboard): John, I'm going to have to pull this water bag out of here, I think.
096 12 04 Young (LM onboard): Yeah.
096 12 05 Duke (LM onboard): I'm - I'm soaked.
096 12 20 Young (LM onboard): Okay.
096 12 24 Mattingly (CM comm): Okay, can you read me on Vox, Orion?
096 12 27 Duke (LM comm): Loud and clear, Ken.
096 12 35 Mattingly (CM onboard): Orion, do you read on Vox?
096 12 37 Young (LM onboard): Loud and clear, Ken.
096 12 40 Duke (LM comm): We're reading you five by.
096 12 41 Mattingly (CM comm): Okay. We're inside of a minute.
096 12 45 Duke (LM comm): Roger. We got P47 coming up.
096 12 46 Mattingly (CM comm): Understand you're still Go.
096 12 47 Duke (LM onboard): We're still Go. P47's up.
096 12 56 Mattingly (CM onboard): Okay, if you're on Vox, you're cutting out pretty badly, too. Thirty seconds.
096 12 59 Duke (LM onboard): We are not on Vox.

Public Affairs Officer: This is Apollo Control. 96 hours, 15 minutes. About 50 seconds now away from acquisition of signal with Orion and Casper coming around from the backside of the Moon. Separately this time. Standing by for confirmation from the network controller that the tracking station does have data and down link from the two spacecraft. There will be some trouble shooting around this Rev on the steerable antenna on Orion, and a further check out of the discrepancy in regulator pressures on the Lunar Module Reaction Control System thrusters. We have AOS confirmation from [the] network controller. Let's come up on the air-ground circuit to monitor the first words.
096 17 06 Irwin (LM onboard): Orion, this is Houston. How do you read?
096 17 08 Duke (LM onboard): Roger. You're five by, Jim, and we're sailing free.
096 17 22 Duke (LM onboard): Okay, Jim. It was a little rushed, but we got it done. The only thing bad is, I got a hat full of orange Juice.
