This is Volume 1 of NASA's Apollo 11 Technical Crew Debriefing, dated July 31, 1969. The Mission Operations Branch of the Flight Crew Support Division at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston prepared it, and it was originally classified Confidential. In it Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins go phase by phase through suiting, launch, powered flight, Earth orbit and lunar surface activities. They comment on suit fit, vibration, checklists, lunar dust, footing and poor sleeping conditions in the lunar module. A section titled Visual Sightings appears in the table of contents.

# CONFIDENTIAL ## 9.0 DOI THRU TOUCHDOWN ## 9.1 COMMAND MODULE ## 9.1.1 LM DOI burn COLLINS I didn't have any monitoring to do other than just con- firming that they did it on time and that it was normal which it was. ## 9.1.2 AUTO maneuver to sextant tracking ## COLLINS I did that, and lo and behold, the IM was in the sextant. This is a good exercise to do between DOI and PDI. It gives you an opportunity to make some sextant marks, make VHF marks, and then to see these marks incorporated into the state vector. It's a good end-to-end test of the whole system. ## 9.1.3 MSFN acquisition COLLINS No problem. ## 9.1.4 Optics track - ease of tracking LM ## COLLINS The LM was easy to track. AUTO optics worked well, and the optics drive was extremely smooth. When using resolve and in low speed, it was easy to take accurate marks on the LM. The LM, of course, got smaller and smaller, and out at about 100 miles, it became quite difficult to see # CONFIDENTIAL
