-
Yes. We'll be sending the PAD data up to you in about another 2 hours, Frank; about 132 hours GET.
-
Frank Borman (CDR)
-
Okay. We—this will be the last set of star sightings we do now nominally, and even if we lose COMM, we'll just come on in with what we got.
-
Frank Borman (CDR)
-
Incidentally, that COMM has been fantastic. I don't know how you've heard us, but boy, it's just like you are next door even in lunar distances.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Yes. It has really been great with rare exceptions when you are on a bad OMNI right before you switch. Then we get an awful lot of background noise, but in general, it has been excellent, and boy, we are really thankful for it because reading all these updates would be bad news with bad COMM, as you know.

Frank Borman (CDR)

As usual, we are all a little pooped. I've got Bill sleeping now, and then Jim and I will swap just as soon as we get through with these stars.

Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Frank. If you get a chance to, we'd like for you to read us down your trunnion calibration number. We missed that one on the downlink, and we have an update for your passive thermal control attitude.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Thank you, and on page 2-104 the PTC attitudes should read zero pitch and 45 degrees yaw. Over.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. And we'd like some PRD readings for those of you who are up and around.
-
Frank Borman (CDR)
-
My PRD now reads 2.85.

Roger. You're loud and clear, Jim. We'd like to get your PRD reading while we've got you up and a flight plan change we're suggesting on page 2-107 when you're ready to copy.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. On page 2-107, we're recommending that you delete that P52 and just-stay in PTC attitude. Your platform is real good, and we don't feel that alignment's necessary. One is coming up again at 139 hours anyway. And also, on that same page, we'd like to delete the “begin cabin cold soak.” Over.

Apollo 8, this is Houston. Would you please go to P00 and ACCEPT, Jim, and we'll send you a P27.
