Frank Borman (CDR): Roger.
02 19 52 17
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We'd like a cryo fan cycle when you can. Over.
02 19 52 24

02 19 55 25
Jim Lovell (CMP): Go ahead, Houston.
02 19 55 27
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. The update is complete. You can have the computer, TLM to BLOCK. Be advised the erasable dump checks out okay.
02 19 55 41
Jim Lovell (CMP): Roger. Thank you. We have the computer; we're in BLOCK.

02 19 55 50
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, this is Houston. We'd like to make at this time a down-voice backup COMM check. Set the S-band AUX tape to DOWN-VOICE BACKUP, TLM inputs PCM, LOW. Over.
02 19 56 10
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger, Houston. And we'd like to have a check of our DSE on low bit rate for voicing.
02 19 56 19
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Understand you want the DSE check on low bit rate for voice.
02 19 56 30
Frank Borman (CDR): That's affirmative, and we'll give it about 10 minutes now or about 5 minutes, then you can check it out.
02 19 56 37
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 19 57 55
Jim Lovell (CMP): Houston, Apollo 8.
02 19 57 57
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Go.
02 19 58 01
Jim Lovell (CMP): As a matter of interest, we have as yet to see the moon.
02 19 58 07
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 19 58 21
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. What else are you seeing?
02 19 58 31
Bill Anders (LMP): Nothing. It's like being on the inside of a submarine.
02 19 58 36
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 19 59 17
Frank Borman (CDR): Houston, we just did a PROGRAM 21, and we show a pericynthian of plus 74.9 miles on the state vector you just uploaded.
02 19 59 24
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Plus 74.9.
02 19 59 32
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger.
02 19 59 50
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, this is Houston. Reading your down-voice backup loud and clear. Request you keep those switches where they are for the remainder of the pass. Over.
02 20 00 02
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger. And we're rewinding the tape recorder for a dump for a DSE voice check.
02 20 00 10
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, 8.
02 20 00 15
Frank Borman (CDR): It's rewound; are you ready to dump?
02 20 00 23
Frank Borman (CDR): We'd like to go to S-band AUX tape briefly so you can dump the tape while we're on the high gain. We've only got about 30 seconds worth.
02 20 00 44
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Roger. We'll do that from the ground. Over.
02 20 00 54
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger. Switch configuration is down-voice backup and stop. You got it.
02 20 00 59
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. We will dump it.
02 20 01 15
Frank Borman (CDR): You won't need to dump more than a minute's worth.
02 20 01 19
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 20 01 49
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Over.
02 20 02 03
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
02 20 02 04
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger. This is Apollo 8.
02 20 02 06
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. That pericynthian you read out is for ignition. We read that as 75 miles; your true pericynthian is 64 miles at 69:10:35. Over.
02 20 02 25
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger.
02 20 03 03
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, this is Houston with an addition to your TEI 1 maneuver PAD. Over.
02 20 03 12
Frank Borman (CDR): Stand by a minute.
02 20 03 25
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead.
