Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, this is Houston. If you should decide that you want to roll heads up on REV 2, one thing to remember, be sure you yaw 45 degrees right in order to maintain your high-gain antenna COMM. Over.
02 22 19 01
Frank Borman (CDR): We will not do that; we're going to stick with the flight plan, and make the best we can here.
02 22 19 06
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Frank.

Frank Borman (CDR): As usual, in the real world, the flight plan looks a lot fuller than it did in Florida.
02 22 19 18
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Understand.
02 22 27 19
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We need an O₂ purge now.
02 22 27 27
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. And we're standing by for a map update.
02 22 27 31
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.

Jim Lovell (CMP): Houston, Apollo 8. Just for your information, after we completed P52, I acquired the earth in the sextant. Quite a sight from here.
02 22 27 57
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Bet it is.
02 22 28 11
Frank Borman (CDR): Row are the systems experts on the SPS coming, Jerry?
02 22 28 16
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): They are still working, Frank; another 5 or 10 minutes.
02 22 28 24
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger.
02 22 28 38
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Your SPS data looks real good. It is just a matter of getting it all in from the site and getting it looked at.
02 22 28 48
Frank Borman (CDR): Thank you.
02 22 28 49
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): So far, everything looks copacetic.

Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We would like to take about 5 minutes of high bit rate. Over.
02 22 30 50
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger. Five minutes of high bit rate coming on.
02 22 30 52
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 22 30 56

02 22 32 52
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead with the map update.
02 22 32 55
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Frank. Map update: REV 1/2, no change; the REV 2/3 follows: 73:04:57, 73:09:37, 73:19:01, 73:48:53, 74:24:23; remarks: Bravo 1 [03:02:16:24|74:16:24]. Over.

02 22 33 59
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. Are you going to dump the tape?
02 22 34 41
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, this is Houston. You are GO for REV 2; all systems are GO. SPS evaluation is still underway and looking good. Over.

Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, this is Houston. The recorder is yours. You can go to low bit rate.
02 22 35 43
Frank Borman (CDR): Thank you.
02 22 37 55
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Request BIOMED switch center.

Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Go.
02 22 48 20
Bill Anders (LMP): Are you going to be able to dump that tape prior to LOS?
02 22 48 30
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Bill, they say they have already dumped the tape, and it's almost totally clean.
02 22 48 42
Bill Anders (LMP): What does that mean?
02 22 48 52
