UAP Release 04 Audio Recording (DVIDS 111830085)

We're picking up a 12-dash old lift off round the wheel and dock. And again, we're going to work things went nominal. As per the checklist, we're going to get the lunar surface checklist checked. Okay, we're going to say so. The lunar up and launch prep went well. We did not do the P22 and everything else just went as advertised on the lamp. She came up, powered up beautifully. You can hear that. Don't worry. Okay, the lift off was again went normal. We got all obviously all our pyros and we lost no change over Parker valves or anything. The only thing that I would like to mention, let the on people pick it up here is that very soon after lift off, we had a pair of loss of calm, a lot of noise in the SPN. It turned out that we were downlucky. But there was something wrong with the uplink. So the CDR watched the most of the guidance and we could call out and apply the altitudes in goes and what have you as we've pitched over and pressed on up for about the first two or three minutes. I think the lunar module pilot had to concern himself for trying to get combat. Yeah, I meant, again, it was another, apparently got a gole-stone, dropped the uplink and then when they were getting it back, I was switching on these and for a while there was just completely out of phase. And the player were probably having a continuous downlink. It was a very inopportune time, I might say, because it happened just right after ignition. I think that's something that was to encode and be able to clarify it because we certainly can't give you the details. It was essentially no calm on all the antennas. We got into a, they brief us on a trajectory. We flew into a trajectory that appeared to be nominal. The egg showed a slight out of plane, I believe, and as a result, our tweak had a 9 foot per second. It was minus 4, minus 9, plus 1. We burned out X, Z, Y, net order, and it looked like the egg's out of plane. The indication was good. About 70 per second. We were over 70. It looked like we might have had a somewhat a G-sensitive drift in our Y accelerometer , and as a result, our tweak had a 9 foot per second. It was minus 4, minus 9, plus 1. We burned out X, Z, Y, net order, and it looked like the egg's out of plane. The indication was good. About 70 per second. We were over 70. It looked like we might have had a somewhat a G-sensitive drift in our Y accelerometer and the pangs, but the tweak, as it turned out, was an excellent tweak because our rendezvous resulted in just as nominal rendezvous and a nominal trajectory and profile, as I guess I've ever been involved with. The drift and the accelerometer did not bother us anywhere else in the tracking or in the interon of the udol. Radovuh, an navigation, was followed to checklist. We got a write-out performed very well. We had auto updates into the eggs. The only thing I might mention here is when it came to making a TPI burn. The residuals in the TPI burn were greater than what I had expected them and we did not record them because I wanted to get them. I wanted to get them knolled out just as soon as possible, but they were, and I don't know the tenths, but they were minus seven and X and they were four and four and I'm not sure whether they were plus or minus in the Y and Z, but they were at the point I'm making is they were larger than I had expected. They were minus seven and four points, something and four points, something. We reduced those to a less than two tenths of a foot per second and from there on continued to plot right through the mid courses right up the pike on an animal trajectory. Communications after that first, Lysha, again, comment about that? Comment was good. A couple comments about the eggs after about five or ten minutes or early in the search and I always checked the accelerometers on the after insertion and they looked real good and checked about five or ten minutes later and I can't remember exactly. I looked and I had accumulated a foot or two per foot and you put in a half per second an X. So I had a gene one three and I did a garrul cow and after that there was no significant accumulation in X that went very well. hey looked real good and checked about five or ten minutes later and I can't remember exactly. I looked and I had accumulated a foot or two per foot and you put in a half per second an X. So I had a gene one three and I did a garrul cow and after that there was no significant accumulation in X that went very well. I did that without talking to the ground but I thought I had an understanding whether that was something that could be good enough. Okay, none of you just also mentioned on the TPI solutions the eggs had essentially a through a three feet per second a good TPI solution after six months. The insertion solution was not very good. It was off by a number of feet per second in the X and even more in the Z. This was your first one, the 17 marks. This was a fine interchange, which you know. The pinks, the recycle and the pinks final were a per year old, so that a couple of feet per second in the life. In X, they were right. You know, it was. And the pinks recycle, I don't remember exactly the cause for 15 marks and the kind of that. I had 17, 17, 17. And there's more data in the data card, which is about a very vague certain times of marks with the X solution. Okay, the mid-course solutions, first mid-course I agreed effectively all systems except our plane was a little bit high and the decision was made to burn the onboard pink solution out of the lamp, which was minus 1.2 plus 0.4 and plus 0.3. We continued to track right up the pike. Mid-course two came up and we again compared all the solutions. The ax out of plane was still a little bit high and actually the opposite direction from the pinks. We had a slight variation in the CSM solution in Z, I don't know why, it came up with plus 5.4 feet per second in Z. So we really didn't get a very good correlation between the CSM and the LAM on the second mid-course. But the pinks was still performing, the radar was still performing and based upon our trajectory plot and based upon our following the nominal nurse aligner side rates, we decided to burn 5.4 feet per second in Z. So we really didn't get a very good correlation between the CSM and the LAM on the second mid-course. But the pinks was still performing, the radar was still performing and based upon our trajectory plot and based upon our following the nominal nurse aligner side rates, we decided to burn the pinks onboard pink solution in the lamp and it was minus 0.4 minus 0.7 and minus 1.6 and from Narana we just continued to follow the nurse aligner side angles and very little tweaking in either in Y or Z and we just sort of floated right through the breaking gates at one mile and I think we put about six or seven feet per second off to hit 30. We met all the gates as prescribed and just came very moving very slowly into final station keeping, went into a formation flight around the CSM, got a good inspection of the spacecraft and the SIM bay, the report of which is in the transcript, everything looked good to us. So eventually went over to the command module to the docking attitude that allowed us to just kiss position. His docking attitude did his pitch in Yominova and gave the station keeping control to the command module to pitch in Yominova and stood by for docking. Okay, command module product, proceeding along with the docking. I think one of the more noticeable differences between this docking and the docking with the S4B is the fact that the SNS stage did dance a lot more than the S4B did. S4B studies are rock but you can tell the, just watch the lamb did bend because he would change attitude and then you try to follow it. And looking at the first attempt coming in I must have less than a tenth of a foot per second, just barely closing on it, just taking it nice and easy. Made contact and did not get captured. Okay, soon it didn't get captured and it's obviously you're closing too slow. So back off a couple of three feet I guess, something like that, re-know all the rates and initiated the closing rate and made cut capture. As soon as we get to capture both vehicles went to CMC free and you look around and check the bar repels and whatever and look back out. I had some rates in the CSM and I'm sure now that the lamb had rates also. I guess, something like that, re-know all the rates and initiated the closing rate and made cut capture. As soon as we get to capture both vehicles went to CMC free and you look around and check the bar repels and whatever and look back out. I had some rates in the CSM and I'm sure now that the lamb had rates also. We did when it's soon as we went free. See, since capture the lamb went free and the CSM trying to know all the rates ended up perturbating the lamb and giving us rates. So we finally gave up on that mode had the lamb go to attitude hold and then once you go to attitude hold, then the CSM couldn't know the rates and we got to line up and attempted a hard docking, no problem. Probe retract came back this time. It didn't sound like it was as much of a ripple fire as it was more of a... It was a quicker docking. I put it a hard dock than it was at the previous time. You getting more taken? Okay, I want to say some about visual sightings during around of the... I was able to from the lamb, I was able to see the command module in when it was sunlit at somewhere around a hundred miles and definitely define that that was a command module. After the command module one of the darkness, I could not pick up his tracking light until we were well within about 40 miles. I think it's transcript to got more accurate time but could not pick up the docking light. The runner who liked rather than the command module to were well within 40 miles and then just a very, initially very dim faint flash. I was able to verify on board that the lamb tracking light was working and I finally figured out how it was reflecting off the underside of the EVA hand rail on the left forward side of the lamb. So I could see the lamb tracking light flashing and also whenever there were some particles we took with us that stayed with the spacecraft and you could see the sequential flash off of those particles that was the result of our tracking light. Okay, this is the command module part of the 40 mission instruction 11.0 about the visibility of the remodeled through the optic. I got down here. Anything else to add about the run? Post docking, like we're going to 13.0 lunar module jettison through TEI. those particles that was the result of our tracking light. Okay, this is the command module part of the 40 mission instruction 11.0 about the visibility of the remodeled through the optic. I got down here. Anything else to add about the run? Post docking, like we're going to 13.0 lunar module jettison through TEI. Post docking check and pressurization. First of all, I guess you said you had every last made this time. Every last worked on well docking light just worked. That sounds like there's something to do with the mass of the other vehicle. The general comment I want to make about the post docking operations is throughout the round of the both pilots in the lamb kept their helmets on for a dust, keep the dust off primarily. The commander took off his gloves almost immediately after insertion and flew the entire round of with that weight. You took yours off sometime later. I kept mine on after we've done a lot of transfer. I can't remember because I kept your gloves on. After insertion, I did most of my pre-insertion work with the gloves off because I didn't want to take the time. I want to get that initial act solution. I could get that fairly rapidly with the gloves and I didn't take the gloves off until maybe 10 or 15 minutes after insertion. I kept the helmet on all the way through most of the transfer just to avoid reading the dust because I had the irritation, sinus irritation on the surface. The commander kept the helmet on throughout the round of the boot and docking. I took my gloves off after insertion and left them off. When we started getting prepared, soon we were a hard dock. The commander took off his helmet and as I looked back at that because of the dust debris in the lambs spacecraft, I'm sorry I did it. I could have left the helmet on and I would have had a lot less nut trouble, but it was just I in my type of irritation. You knew you were in a very heavily infiltrated atmosphere in the lambs because of the lunar dust. Although I don't know how much lunar dust previous flights had, but I think we saved a great deal of grief by taping up. By sweeping all the dust we could find on the floor into the holes and putting our tape covers over those holes, I think that had to help a great deal because there was an off of the lunar dust. Although I don't know how much lunar dust previous flights had, but I think we saved a great deal of grief by taping up. By sweeping all the dust we could find on the floor into the holes and putting our tape covers over those holes, I think that had to help a great deal because there was an off lot of dust on the floor that we didn't see. So I had the commander had his helmet and goes off throughout the entire transfer. Basically, the way we handle the transfer was the way we planned. I think the lab pilot did most of the preparation of the gear in the in the lambs in the commander state in the tunnel and past things on and the inventory was going on on the commander module side and on the lambs side both. We vacuumed each other's suits the best we could and everything else that got supposedly transferred unbagged or uncovered. This is the only thing. As part of the C&P comments to the Comrade, I think we got things remarkably clean and it wasn't an off lot of dirt in the man module coming back. Oh that's true. I didn't want to ask. The contrast he may have thought I was dirty, but I was surprised we were able to keep the level of pardoning expression contamination from that module down. That atmosphere that the commander was referring to in a lambs after took his helmet off, I could go halfway through the tunnel and stick my head up into the command module and it was a totally refreshed unpluted atmosphere up there that never did get polluted. I think having a vacuum cleaner running in the lambs had a lot to do with keeping the flow in the air. We never did vacuum in the command module because this wasn't necessary. The suits were noticeably clean by the vacuum cleaner. You could tell you were pulling stuff off of them all the way. Still dirty and every other time we handled it we got our hands dirty. I think most of the pre-dust was taken care of. We effectively stayed on a transfer list. I said effectively throughout the transfer however, some things got transferred out of order and got temporarily stored in the command module. We effectively used the transfer list as a cookbook, follow a recipe type of thing but as an inventory list. We inventoryed it several times from both ends and found out that we were satisfied we had everything transferred and then pressed on with the lambs close up. nd got temporarily stored in the command module. We effectively used the transfer list as a cookbook, follow a recipe type of thing but as an inventory list. We inventoryed it several times from both ends and found out that we were satisfied we had everything transferred and then pressed on with the lambs close up. Some close up went nominal. We got back into the lambs, earned the command module and the commander closed out the the on and be closed out the lambs. For convenience the commander effectively went back and closed out the lambs hatch, put in the command module hatch. Because of the slow tunnel vent or the long duration of tunnel vent the commander stayed in the tunnel the on and be in the CMP and let's see. We suited up and got prepared for our integrity check and as soon as the tunnel vent was complete and we were satisfied with integrity and the hatch we went into the suit integrity check. This is CMP, let me make another comment on the tunnel vent time. I bet it must take in, I'm not sure this is correct but I bet at least three or four times longer than the simulator is for the tunnel vent move. I think that's going to be able to pull the skyline because it was talking like an event before the end of the day. It's quite a, it took quite a while. The tunnel pulls out was easy, we had no joke and no pro which were stored in the lambs for a lambs jet. Going through the rest of these mine triggers under the normal joules and through T.I. We just followed the checklist and it all seemed to happen just as advertised. We got a little bit intrigued with the Lungeson. At this time it was great and just say a lot there and nice and pretty and we got a lot of good pictures of where we should have been maneuvering and we ended up getting into P41 after the set burn a little bit of light but that's no problem either because we just tried to reset those and people were in the hand and got a good set burn. I want to make a comment that I think cleaning control in a command module was excellent considering all the dust and all the dirt that just seemed to hear everything in the lambs. We got back in a command module with the exception of the suits and with the exception of the LMP and the CDR. Everything was clean and not for the most part is because everything was bad before we mand module was excellent considering all the dust and all the dirt that just seemed to hear everything in the lambs. We got back in a command module with the exception of the suits and with the exception of the LMP and the CDR. Everything was clean and not for the most part is because everything was bad before we brought it over. Bagged and zipped. We never did open anything once we got it zipped up so the command module stayed and I think that suit fan filter is probably going to be very, very clean to state exceptionally clean throughout the remainder of the flames. We had a bagging and decontamination bags I made a special effort to ask for requests to put those zippers as tight as I could and they should be pretty tight. Okay. Orbit on navigation, high gain, why don't you pick that up? Okay, I worry from septic to eI have no comments. High gain, always work good, on these and that span were good. Photography, when as advertised we have a lot of targets of opportunity. Symbay operations have been mentioned before. I would just make one gross comment about the way we handled it as a three man crew with symba operations which after did we? Yeah. Okay, it's covered. I think I did say so. Yeah, we do. Okay, the tei updates, not all. Section of star checks were good for tei. We got the commanders master alarm and every one of them all through the fling which made me feel good. But you kept trying to get it. I made sure I got it on those last few. I was going to change any mode of operation. I'll tell you that last one. World entry was the last one. I made sure I got it on the tei. Just make you guys feel at home. I think if you think I didn't do it right, if I didn't get the master alarm. The tei hat G or whatever we were pulling there, seemed like more than that. Quite noticeable. Sure did. It seemed like it was really pushing it back in the seat. Yeah. Around my golf I think started out holding my heads up and it basically relaxed them back on the couch. I guess we must have had the spacecraft pretty well stowed or tied down because as I ere, seemed like more than that. Quite noticeable. Sure did. It seemed like it was really pushing it back in the seat. Yeah. Around my golf I think started out holding my heads up and it basically relaxed them back on the couch. I guess we must have had the spacecraft pretty well stowed or tied down because as I brief, they see a PNL and P and as I recall, those kind of burns back in Apollo 10. Lots of things started moving through the spacecraft and find their do on the end of the spacecraft because of the G load. Much to my surprise, all we had was initial thought as we moved away from the station and we didn't have any gear coming from anywhere flying through the spacecraft. We cleaned it up pretty well. I got a white tag wet white. A white tag wet white. But other than maybe one or two of those things, and looking back, I would have expected more gear to come from somewhere but we prepared for those burns pretty well. That brings up another point that reminds me though. Is it always water condensing on ECU, the pipes and whatever you're back in there when you get back to clean the seat, so can we turn it out? When we put our seats on for the EVA the next day, your seats were noticeably wet and also when I pulled the PGA bag up, it was damped down underneath the PGA bag. So I think as a normal procedure, we should have either after the burn, probably before the burn, made sure we wiped with the water and the LAB somehow to do that. I wasn't really aware our seats were damped or put them out but I was not aware. I could look down there and I could not find any real water down in the air. It's just an ECS. Yeah, an ECS. There's always water down there an ECS. I just assume that's where all I came from. It's not a problem. Like you say, it was just damp. And almost as if it was pulled down in the LAB and water was condensing on all over the seat. It wasn't as if they were in a problem. Yeah. Okay, I think that covers right on through TDI. Let's see. Yeah, the one thing I want to mention on TDI is that again, the simulator is set up such ou say, it was just damp. And almost as if it was pulled down in the LAB and water was condensing on all over the seat. It wasn't as if they were in a problem. Yeah. Okay, I think that covers right on through TDI. Let's see. Yeah, the one thing I want to mention on TDI is that again, the simulator is set up such that the roll dead band goes over to one side of the roll dead band just kind of stays there. And during the TDI burn, it was bouncing back and forth from one side of the dead band to the other side of the dead band. And when it's bouncing back and forth, the roll rate is up around all four tenths of the degree per second, walking back and forth across the roll dead band. Okay, 14.0 transfer of the coast and the thing that I just realized we've neglected this anywhere about systems, like I mentioned, chlorination at this point in time. I think without fail, do you ever talk about it? No. I say almost every chlorination leaked. Sometimes larger quantities of water other times, just small quantities of water. And I'll tell you where it leaked. Water, of course. Well, or both are coming. There's chlorine in your corn-aiden and buffer or water when you would do the buffer sample here. But where it leaked was appeared to me to leak within the ambulance itself around the bag because it was the chlorine, the cylindrical chlorine dispenser that was continually wet. It was not the, it was not where the dispenser fit into the needle or where the needle adapter fit into the spacecraft. It was within the barrel chlorine dispenser itself. And we continually, chlorination was a case of always cleaning your hands with chlorine because you always had it available down there within that dispenser. And in some cases, you had larger quantities of water that had to be wiped up with a tissue. That plagued us throughout the whole mission. It turned out not to be a serious problem because we learned how to handle it. But that was one system anomaly that never had really been brought out. Let's see, CMD, let me amplify that a little bit. In two cases, I want most positive that when you put the thing on and the bandhead fitting and crank it on there, it did not puncture the ampules itself. lem because we learned how to handle it. But that was one system anomaly that never had really been brought out. Let's see, CMD, let me amplify that a little bit. In two cases, I want most positive that when you put the thing on and the bandhead fitting and crank it on there, it did not puncture the ampules itself. And the reason I can, I believe that's correct is that when you start to crank the outside of the cassette down to push the chlorine into the water system, it was very hard to turn. And if you tried to force it, you could force it on down there. I'm sure that's a good way to break an ampule on the thing. And if you take it, just in two cases, took the bandhead fitting loose again and put it back on there. And in both cases, then you try to squeeze the chlorine out of the ampule into the system. And it would turn easier. But it's still hard to, it's also hard to crank that thing down. But we did not, we got the chlorination down. We didn't miss any injections of chlorine and we didn't miss any buffer samples. So I guess we got the job done. It was just a little bit messy. And chlorine was evident because the CDR eventually peeled all the outer skin off his right hand and I'm convinced it was due to the chlorine and had nothing to do with the EVA. So we got a little bit of a little skin on the EVA. Transverse pulse systems navigation, let's press on and see what we can say about that. Okay, let me see how much transverse pulse we're going to do. Let's go through up to the CSMEVA angle. Okay, transverse pulse, the first thing I want to mention is passive thermal control was at what I would call unusual attitudes because of the UV and IR requirements. Now these unusual attitudes did two things. They put us, they required us to remanuver the spacecraft several times and enter and exit PTC several several times, which in itself was not a problem. It was just additional coordination. Coincidentally, most of these particular PTC attitudes were within 30, certainly 45 degrees in gimbal lock most of the time. So we were looking at the red apple, good portion of the trip home. times and enter and exit PTC several several times, which in itself was not a problem. It was just additional coordination. Coincidentally, most of these particular PTC attitudes were within 30, certainly 45 degrees in gimbal lock most of the time. So we were looking at the red apple, good portion of the trip home. But they also, some of those attitudes where you actually were not in, we were in attitudes and or PTC at these relatively unusual positions. Change the equilibrium heat load on the spacecraft. You could see it in RCS quad temperatures where I put you could see it in helium package temperatures. And most notably you could see it on the change in condensation from the tunnel hatch to the forward hatch. The tunnel hatch eventually from most of the way home ended up to be very dry. In the second day out on a way home the the four, the son or hatch got soaking wet to the point that even took a dry rag and wiped off some of the latch components and some of the gearbox components externally. not that it didn't do it, but there was just that much water on it. I think this is all due to the PTC attitude, required for the severe experiments on the way home. I was colder in the spacecraft too. Oh yes, it was colder. Not as cold as the commander thought it was. That's right. Cold enough to warm up on the commander's orders. I guess we're going to have to go into the extra burger and go into the manual one on 10th. I think we discussed that. Ron, all your roughs and bad changes, you're talking, you're playing for talking, all those went very well, I thought. That went great. I think we're going to have to go through all the way back home. It was just changing attitudes, changing attitudes, changing attitudes with exception of the EVA day, which we'll cover here shortly. Yes, I'm EVA. I think the only thing that came across was the CMP's... Well, let's see, the EVA prep, we really didn't have any. We didn't know anything at that time. I was going to say I'm the CMP's top player. But the EVA prep went right down the line, essentially, well laid out within the experiments checklist. And we checked things off as we went and stayed pretty much on the timeline. let's see, the EVA prep, we really didn't have any. We didn't know anything at that time. I was going to say I'm the CMP's top player. But the EVA prep went right down the line, essentially, well laid out within the experiments checklist. And we checked things off as we went and stayed pretty much on the timeline. We started about a half hour in, stayed about a half hour in. We started, we were half hour early throughout the whole thing and we lost that half hour and open a head just about it. It turned to you man, exactly on time. And I can't remember a small little conversation about how carry. Comcarrier change. When we lost that half hour, we were during a com carrier change on the tone. Ron, I'd like to add that post EVA, that I think one thing that helped us immensely on what ended up to be, I think a very fine entry storage was that we sort of backed off after the EVA. Took a long, good long list of the long range storage as well as the post EVA storage. And really effectively started housekeeping, clean up the cabin, and effectively stowing some of the articles that we're not going to be used any further in the mission for entry. At that time, that one time, that's true. So entry storage really started with the post EVA time frame period. And I think that really helped us out in the long r
