Spacelog Apollo 8

If I see any water floating around, I'll give you another call.

Apollo 8, Houston. Radio check.

Apollo 8, Apollo 8. Radio check.

Read you loud and clear.

Apollo 8, Houston.

Houston, Apollo 8. Did you call?

Apollo 8, Houston. You are loud and clear. We've taken a look at this water —

Houston, Apollo 8.

Apollo 8, Apollo 8, Houston. Read you loud and clear. We have taken a look at your potable water quantity problem, and it appears to be a transducer problem. Suggest that you leave the potable tank isolated. You have sufficient water in the waste tank to continue the entry. Over.

Roger. Thank you, Houston.

Does that mean we're GO for entry?

Houston, Apollo 8.

Apollo 8, Apollo 8, go ahead.

Houston, how do you read? Apollo 8.

Read you loud and clear, Apollo 8, and we're checking on the PTC problem now.

Apollo 8, Houston. You are cleared with entry attitude at this time.

Houston, Apollo 8. Over.

Apollo 8, loud and clear. Go.

Apollo 8, Apollo 8, go ahead.

Roger. We have completed the checklist down to the 1-hour point, and we'll stand by for 1 hour.

Roger.

Apollo 8, Apollo 8, Houston.

Go ahead, Houston.

Just for information, did you folks end up having to use any command module RCS heaters?

Negative. All our indicators are pegged either high or at 5 volt.

Okay. Thank you.

Carnarvon, network GOSS conference voice check. How do you read?

Network, Carnarvon. Read you weak but clear.

Roger, Carnarvon. I read you loud and clear.

You are loud and clear now. Thank you.

Apollo 8, Houston. Stand by for hand over to Carnarvon.

Okay, Apollo 8. If you will go to P00 and ACCEPT, we would like to update your LM and CSM state vectors. Over.

Apollo 8, Houston. State vector load is complete. Verify the computer is yours.

Apollo 8, Apollo 8, Houston. State vector load is complete; the computer is yours.

Roger, Houston. We are going to BLOCK.

Apollo 8, Houston.

Go ahead, Houston.

Okay. Two fast items: number one, it has been suggested that since Marezine takes some time to take effect, you might consider whether you would be interested in taking some now. And I have an entry PAD which has some very small updates to go on it if you would like to copy that.

Okay. Stand by. Let me get out the entry PAD.
