TITLE 18. U.S.C. SECTION 793 AND 794. THE TRANS- MISSION OR REVELATION OF WHICH IN ANY MANNER TO AN UNAUTHORIZED PERSON IS PROHIBITED BY LAW. MANNED SPACECRAFT CENTER HOUSTON, TEXAS NOTICE: This document may be exempt from public disclosure under the Freedom of Infor- mations Act (5 U.S.C 552). Requests for its re- lease to persons outside the U.S. Government should be handled under the provisions of NASA Policy Directive 1382.2 INTRODUCTION This is the transcription of the Apollo 9 flightcrew communications as recorded on the command module (CM) data storage equipment (DSE), and subsequently transmitted (dumped) to Manned Space Flight Network stations. Magnetic tapes containing dumped voice and onboard-recorded ground elapsed time (GET) were forwarded to the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas. Transcription of these tapes was managed by David M. Goldenbaum, Test Division, Apollo Spacecraft Program Office, to whom questions regard- ing this document should be referred. The Apollo 9 mission was flown March 3 to March 13, 1969. Communicators in the text are identified as follows: Command module: CDR Commander James A. McDivitt CMP Command module pilot David R. Scott LMP Lunar module pilot Russell L. Schweickart SC Unidentifiable crewmember Mission Control Centers: CC Capsule communicator (CAP COMM) F Flight LCC Launch Control Center S Surgeon Remote sites: AA Unidentified ground station AB Airboss (Recovery aircraft) CT Communications technician (COMM TECH) R3 Recovery 3 (Recovery helicopter) In the text, a series of three dots (...) is used to designate those portions of the communications which could not be transcribed be- cause of garbling. One dash (-) is used to indicate a speaker's pause or a self-interruption. Two dashes (--) are used to indicate an inter- ruption by another speaker or a point at which a recording was abruptly terminated.

Let's see, ... 6 minutes I think I'll do - talk about the T&D - ... want to talk about the T&D ... Yes. 00 06 43 11 LMP And, I wonder if we ought to try the hot water. Hey, we - we never turned on the hot water. 00 06 43 13 CMP We did T&D -- 00 06 43 14 LMP Yes, we did. 00 06 43 15 CMP -- It started out just about as planned. We pitched around, and when we got around facing the S-IVB, we were directly lined up and just exactly right according to the angles on the ball, although we seemed to be a little bit high in pitch. We did - we did some pitchup to get the - the needle, and it looked like we were lined up relative to the COAS. And the vent seemed to be somewhat more than we expected; the S-IVB started closing, and I had about 0.6 of a foot per second in at separation, and when we turned around, I never took any out. And the S-IVB closed the gap, naturally. I guess we were something like 50 feet away when we turned around and were facing it. In the process of try- ing to get lined up with the target, we noticed there was no left translation, and we started drift- ing over some to the right; and I backed off to keep clearance, for the S-IVB to continue to close, and I tried to find the problem. And after a while, it became apparent there definitely was no left translation. And we cycled the switches for RCS AUTO CONTROL and changed A/C ROLL all up to BUS A; all the rest were on BUS B, and nothing seemed to work there. We got no translation in SCS RATE COMMAND or any control mode, for that matter. We [Page 97] [Day 1] drifted out to our right of the S-IVB, and I yawed left to try and get back in by translating forward which put us across the front of the S-IVB to the left side. And about that time, figured out the problem and discovered that the quad C primary and secondary propellent isolation valves were talkback, talkbacks were barber pole, and that the quad B secondary isolation valve talkback was barber pole. And another thing we had tried prior to discovering the talkbacks was the DAP, to see if that might be a problem, and it seemed to be working alright ex- cept for the translation to the left. Back to the talkbacks, when Jim closed The isolation valve - or opened the isolation valves and the talkbacks were gray, we definitely knew - got a definite translation capability to the left, and went to CMC HOLD and realigned with the COAS, and on the target on the S-IVB. And about the time we got realigned visually, the needle had preset, with a VERB 62; we were lined up almost exactly, which showed that the preflight-calculated angles were just right. And we needed no closing velocity; the S-IVB closed the gap with the venting. And we proceeded on in, and contacted it at approxi- mately 0.3 foot per second, and capture occurred immediately, and there were no postcontact dynamics to speak of. It drifted up a little bit and yawed left a little bit, which would have been an appare[sic] pitchdown, yaw left to get it centered; and we went to CMC FREE on contact, and it seemed to damp out the position, misaligned by a couple of degrees in pitch and about 1 in yaw. I attempted to align with the translational thrusters, just MINIMUM IM- PULSE, and it didn't seem to do much good. So, I went to SCS MINIMUM IMPULSE and the rotational controller and that seemed to work alright, align- ing the COAS to the target. And the one thing that was noticeable: with the COAS full bright, it was very difficult to see the luminated reticle agains[sic] the bright target background, and by this time, th[sic] sun was pretty much over our shoulders and there was - the target was very bright. Once we got aligned with the - the target, the standoff cross, why we initiated retraction, and it took 8 to 10 seconds to retract. The vehicles went straight in, and it sounded like we got two sets of latches in almost very - in a very short time in between, [Page 98] [Day 1] but it sounded like you could hear two groups of latches going, and dynamics was very slight. Fel[sic] like a good solid line. I guess that was about the size of it. Jim, you want to go through what you saw? 00 06 48 04 CDR Yes. Well - 00 06 48 08 CMP Why don't we - why don't we all go through what - 00 06 48 10 CDR Well, there's a nice little ... that just came of 00 06 48 15 LMP How do you get the gas out of these bags, I wonde[sic] 00 06 48 24 CDR Drink it, I guess. 00 06 48 26 LMP Hmm. 00 06 48 27 CDR Dave, would you stick this under the hot water an[sic] give me a shot or two -- 00 06 48 32 CMP Can you wait a minute. 00 06 48 33 CDR Sure. You want me to try to fix that for you? 00 06 48 46 CMP It's not running and it's not - You got to push the red button right there. 00 06 48 50 CDR ... I'm going to have to ... move it slow. Okay Well, let's see, there's hardly anything else I can - there's very little I can add to what Dave has already said except that when we extended the probe, it only took a - just a second or so for i[sic] to get out. There was a definite thunk, and the talkbacks changed, and there was a - every indica[sic] tion that it had gone out immediately. When we came back in, I was watching the talkbacks, and t[sic] both changed to gray, at - at the same time, whic[sic] would indicate that all the latches were close to[sic] gether. When we checked the tunnel, we found all the latches had secured and everything looks okay up to there. There didn't seem to be any problem I didn't get a chance to - to examine the - the drogues, to see if they had any damage. I don't think ... we were in a little bit of a hurry. An[sic] I couldn't see up there very well at the time; we'll get to that tomorrow.
