total: 7000 pounds worth of Again, and 8000 pounds
worth of
of Gemini. 15 000 pounds. Probably had good
thrust-to-weight ratio. That's why it was giving
us 30 to h0 foot per second per second.
The only thing we could do with that when it really
got bad was shut it down, you know that?

might.

That's what we were thinking of. Let's wait now
until we talk to MSPN, I guess.
John, what - what angle are you at, so I can try
and acquire .
Roger. I'm about 300 degrees right now.
... shit!
Hello, John, are you at any - What angles are you
at? Are you - -
I'm at 300 degrees .
Okay, you'll have better contact, because we'll be in
OMNI; so you go ahead and tell them, and tell them -
maybe we could vent down here, and get that thing
vented, and then build our pressure back up.
Roger; I can't - ve can't get the tun u el to vent.
Over. Houston, Charlie Brown. I've checked the
vent valve, and - Roger; I say again: we cannot
get the tunnel to vent. Over.
That's correct. We've checked the inflow valve. I've
checked the Inflow valve, and I've checked the vent
valve, and Tom and Cene have checked their AUTO valve
and their hatch seal around their hatch, and they've
built up pressure inside the vehicle, and it doesn't
appear to be leaking into the tunnel, so I don't know
what their problem is. Possibly soti.e of that insulation
has gotten lodged in the vent line.
Houston, Charlie Brown. Do you read? Over.
Hello, Houston. How do you read Snoopy now?
Okay. If ve have to, we would like to go ahead and try
to vent the tunnel to the I,M . We will depressurize the
LM part way, and try and vent the tunnel part way, and
then build the LM back up. How doer, that sound?

0k 00 39 1+9 CDR Hello, Houston; this is Snoopy. Do you read? Over.
Okay, Charlie. Look, as far as we can see, it still
appears to us like all this Mylar that's V-en floating
around in the spacecraft has probably got into that vei

line. The only solution that we see about ... to vent
the tunnel, is to take- it out through the LM and take us
down. If John would try to do it, it would suck that
■ Mylar right back into his valve - tunnel valve there,
which is no good; we'd have a rough time back In the
command module. But we could do something, we could live
with the LM for a while. And bo that's about all we can
see. And as far as we understand about the probe, it's
probably not a good idea to release that probe with all
that pressure on it. Over.

05 02 35 29 IMP Go ahead, Houston - This is 10 - with your fuel
cell plans.
05 02 35 37 CC Okay. Fuel cell plan is relatively simple. We're
Just going to leave it off line, open-circuit, and
we want you to turn the fuel cell 1 in-line heaters
off and then monitor the skin temperature. Monitor
the temperature to stay between 390 and hlO, cycling
the in-line heaters on and off to maintain 390 to
1*10. This will keep our water production to a
minimum, reducing our requirement to purge, and we
may be able to go as long as 50 hours -ithout purg-
ing. During the day, ve will work out procedures
to use during your sleep period on skin temperature.
Over.
05 02 36 23 LMP Okay, Jack. You must have been reading the same
malfunction procedures as I was. The fuel cell
heater has been off - well, ever since we went
through LOS. I've got a question on that heater.
It's an AUTO heater which recycles somewhere
around 380, 390 degrees. Do you just want me to
turn this to AUTO position if it starts dropping?
Is that correct?
05 02 36 1+9 CC Negative, 10.
05 02 36 50 LMP Or am I wrong about that heater?

Yes, but you might come down in the Indian Ocean.
Yes, yes; I agree. But - but, a - Okay. But it's
the landing point that's fixed - Oh, I could see
that, because the earth - soon as you're rotating
around the earth, then the earth is also rotating
that landing point around, so that - it's at a
different point in respect to the axis.
Yes, once you foul - regardless of how long it takes
you - whether 52, 7 1 *, 10 U - then it won't change it
hardly a bit when you get down, as far as time of

You think so?
They had a couple of studies going to see if we
were going to collide with it. They said - it could
vary between going in front . of us and going aft of us .
Let's watch it this time. The last couple of times,
. I haven't watched it. I know ... it does not look
like a star to me.
That's something, if you should bump into that - -

05 06 08 U8 CC Roger, 10. We copy. Sure, that's okay. That sounds
good. And a little rundown on your CP-1 and CF-2
marks on REV 25. They looked real good to us. The
marks were good, and the spacing was good. We are
real happy vith that. Over.
05 06 09 06 CDR Okay. Real fine. And just - you might pass along
to the FIDO troops down there that we noticed a star
we couldn't identify coming up, and we said, well,
there must be something else in orbit with us. And
sure enough, this last pass it got close enough. It's
the bottom part of Snoopy, and Gene-o with the monoc-
ular could see his legs - th- reflection off his legs.
So as he went out .in behind us, like I guess I read
that one state .... but we're going to slowly catch
up with him. We're starting to catch up with the^
bottom part of Snoop, but something has torqued him
out of plane a little bit, and he's going out of plane
to the south of us. Maybe a mascon grabbed ahold
of him or something, but we're catching up with him.
There is no doubt about it; and we can actually see
different colors in reflected light off the black in
the silver panels. Over.
05 06 09 58 CC Roger. Good show. We'll pass that on to the FIDO.

OFF on panel 5; and, prior to the TEI burn at approx-

we understand what you mean - we're not going to
try and activate the pump during the TEI burn. We're
going to leave it turned off. So you can leave that

the circuit breaker will not reset. I'm referring

Apollo 10, this is Houston. Over.
Roger, Houston; Apollo 10.
Roger, 10. We lost contact with you there for a few
minutes. Did you all go to COMMAND RESET or otherwise
change your C0MM mode?
No, Bruce. I saw the S-band hunting around, and then
I went to MANUAL to get a hard lock, and we're in okay
and are back in REACQ, but I don't know what it was.
Just hunting around, and didn't seem to want to get a
signal for you.
Alright.
How does it work?
Beautiful. ... ask him if he reads you?
Here you go.
Okay.
Rpger, 10. At that time, we had selected OMNI Delta,
and, as the system is explained to me, the antenna
should not have been going to any particular position,
but it won't hurt itself. When we got ready to lose
signal strength of Delta, we would have ground-commanded
back to the high-gain antenna, and it should then re-
acquire. Over.
Okay. Well, we didn't do anything up here.
Sure you did.

starts; but once it's designed, that's probably
as good a place to have a water separator as any-

I don't know if they ever noticed ice or not. We've
