Spacelog Apollo 8

Stand by.

Go ahead.

Okay. This is—we would like him to do them, as I say, whenever he is through the series he is on now, and they are the same ones that are printed on your flight plan page 2-86. The first one we'd like to increase to two sets; the second one we'd like to increase to two sets, making a total of five sets on those stars on page 2-86. Do you copy?

Roger.

Okay. The other change is on an elapsed time of 120—a hundred and twenty hours: we'd like to increase that P23 work, the first star change, from one set to two sets. The second star from one to two —

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Okay.

Okay. Looking for the page; I got it now.

Okay. The first star, make two sets; second star, two sets; for a total of five sets.

Okay.

And if you're in a copying mood, I have—would you believe—a couple of changes to your entry checklist which I'd like to read up to you sometime today or tomorrow.

Okay. Why don't we get them here after this one set of stars.

Very good.

Roger, Bill. I was just given a new one here. While you've got your flight plan out, this would be 130 hours GET. Have you got that page?

I just put it away, but I'll get it out again.

I'm sorry about that.

… if you want me.

Roger. At 130 hours GET, star 02: Where it is printed two sets, we'd like to make that only one set; and then we would like to add star 11 (star one—one) lunar far horizon, two sets. Over.

Okay.

Hey, Mike. Is MIT slipping in the back door?

Not really, Jim. It has to do with this W-matrix. You remember that we reinitialized it in lunar orbit, and then we worked on it as you came back on the previous sightings you made, and now we've gone and reinitialized it again at this point. And we'd like to restore it to its former size and shape and whatnot.

Houston, Apollo 8.

Go ahead, Jim.

Mike, I have got the entry checklist right now. You want to give me an update?

Okay, Bill. Thank you. The first one is on page E-7.

Okay. Stand by.

Okay, Mike. Ready to go. Now I know why Neil was over there.

I am with you.

Okay. After UP TELEMETRY BLOCK, insert “RCS CM heaters circuit breakers to CLOSE.”

Okay.

All they are doing there is just making sure you get your heater circuit breakers closed. The next one is on page E-9.

Ready to copy.

Roger. On E-9 up near the top under “terminate CM RCS preheat” and the middle there, after “CM RCS heaters OFF, LMP confirm,” insert “RCS CM heaters circuit breakers to OPEN.” That's just opening those two breakers back up.

Roger.

And the last change is on page 14.

Okay.

Yes. This one should be a favorite of yours. Near the top where it says “tape recorder, RECORD FORWARD”- Are you with me?

Roger.

Insert between “tape recorder” and “RECORD FORWARD,” insert “COMMAND RESET high bit rate.” Over.

Okay. We got them.

Thank you, Bill. That's all.

Okay, Michael.

How is it going? Do you want any systems dope?

Yes, they are hanging together. I haven't even looked at them for the last half hour. I have been over here in the sun.

Yes, they sure are, Bill. They can get you any specific numbers, whatnot, if you're interested.

Well, I hate to say I wasn't interested, but I don't need any specific numbers right now.

Okay. Very good. We concur.

That's an outer space first.
