Bill Anders (LMP): Roger, Houston. Apollo 8.
04 23 34 00
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Roger. The P23 that is coming up next—we will want to do a water dump as soon as we are through with that P23. We'll dump down to 30 percent, and this ought to be the last dump of the mission. Over.
04 23 34 15
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay. You think that we will end up generating enough water to fill her up prior to entry.
04 23 34 20
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Affirmative.
04 23 34 31
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay. We are at that attitude you gave us, so we stopped the roll a little bit short. We're more like 150 degrees roll right now.
04 23 34 39
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay, Bill. On that water dump, we expect to have 90 percent.
04 23 34 46
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay.
04 23 41 54
Bill Anders (LMP): Houston, Apollo 8. Over.
04 23 41 57
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Over.
04 23 42 06
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Go.
04 23 42 11
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. We are done with the P52 and arranged for the P23. Was there any constraint you wanted, for length of time you wanted to stay in this attitude?
04 23 42 25
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Negative, Bill. When you are finished with P23, we will go back into PTC.
04 23 42 35
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay. We are going to maneuver for P23 now.
04 23 42 38
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Roger. We are watching your tank pressures.
04 23 42 43
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay. Thank you. We will do an optical first and then do the P23.
04 23 42 46
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay.
04 23 44 51
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We are handing over to Madrid in about 15 seconds. Over.
04 23 44 58
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. And good morning, Jerry, or good afternoon, or whatever it is.
04 23 45 03
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Good morning, Jim. It's about 6:30 in the morning.
04 23 45 35
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. How do you read?
04 23 45 40
Jim Lovell (CMP): Loud and clear. How us?
04 23 45 41
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger; the same.
05 00 17 49
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
05 00 17 53
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead, Houston. Apollo 8.
05 00 17 54
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Morning, Frank. Looks like we have lost the transducer on the primary radiator OUT temperature. We are showing an off scale high. The rest of the loop looks real fine, though. When you get a chance, would you take a look at it and see if you're in the same position. Over.
05 00 18 15
Frank Borman (CDR): Which one is it?
05 00 18 16
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Primary radiator OUT temperature.
05 00 18 22
Frank Borman (CDR): Ours is showing 100 off scale high, also.
05 00 18 25
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
05 00 21 57
Bill Anders (LMP): Houston, Apollo 8. Over.
05 00 21 59
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Go.
05 00 22 09
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Go.
05 00 22 14
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. About this RAD output temp: does your telemetry show that it happened all of a sudden?
05 00 22 20
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): That's affirmative, Bill.

05 00 22 25
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay. I'm on malfunction 23, step 2. It looks to me like there is a small possibility we might be boiling, but I doubt it. So you just want to hop over to step 4 and consider that a closed case.
05 00 22 48
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. We consider it closed.
05 00 25 25
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
05 00 25 31
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
05 00 25 33
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Frank, all of your primary loop temperature readings look just fine. Your EVAP IN temperatures are normal and indicate you are getting normal mixing.
05 00 25 47
Frank Borman (CDR): Okay. Thank you.
05 00 27 44
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
05 00 27 48
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead, Houston. Apollo 8.
05 00 27 50
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. For the P23 attitude that you are in right now, your quad tank temperatures are better than we expected. We're still monitoring, and it's looking good.
05 00 28 05
Frank Borman (CDR): Thank you. After we complete this, do you want us to return to the PTC attitude? Is that correct?
05 00 28 15
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): That is affirmative, Frank.
05 00 28 19
Frank Borman (CDR): Would you have someone get up the gimbal angles for us to point the X-axis at the earth at the TV time, please?

Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Wilco.
05 00 28 59
Frank Borman (CDR): Also, Jerry, I would like to know our range and velocity at TV time.
05 00 29 05
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Frank. You want the range and velocity at TV time.
05 00 29 11
Frank Borman (CDR): Right.
