Apollo 8, Houston. Requesting S-band OFF state to OFF. This should put us back in the normal configuration. Over.

Mike Collins (CAPCOM)

Okay. S-band OFF state to OFF. That returns us to normal configuration, and we need a couple or items from you. First, the CMP and LMP status report (including PRD readings on all three crewmembers), and we'd like to know did you chlorinate the water after your last meal. Over.

Apollo 8, Houston. We've switched on all the communications switch; functions are operating normally, Bill.

Frank Borman (CDR)

Mike, the PRD readings for the CDR are 4—that's 0.04, for the CMP is 0.64, and for the LMP is 0.25.

We're about in the right position for high gain; we wondered if you wanted to take a trial run and see if it will work. Or do you just want to wait and try it when they're supposed to go on the air with it?

Okay. In reference the early TV, we're losing the high-gain antenna now, and it looks like the only way we would have gotten the early TV pass in anyhow was to send it to remote site and look at it there. So we're going to scrub that idea and we'll just pick up with the scheduled TV. The COMM checks that are remaining are the high-gain dependent type, and we'll put those off until the TV session is completed, and we are working on the fuel propellant curve for you now.

Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Apollo 8. What we're going to do on the TV is to go ahead and let you crank it up as soon as we get back on the high-gain antenna, and it looks like—my guess is that this will be about 31:07, and we'll just use this to—as long as we have the coverage there. I have an update to your TLI plus 35 PAD. Now we have to correct a couple of times on there. So when you get that out, let me know and I'll read it to you.

Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM)

Okay. On the TLI plus 35 pass, the update I want to give you is the last three lines in the block: the EMS range to go 13084 35985 0984217. Over.
