Apollo 11 Technical Crew Debriefing, Volume 1 (scan)

NASA via ibiblio · 1969-07-31 · 251 pages · text by GLM-OCR

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.

Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.

# CONFIDENTIAL

ARMSTRONG	Unstowage; COAS installation: I don't recall any points there.
	4.9 UNSTOWAGE AND CAMERA PREPARATION
ARMSTRONG	We had the TV camera preparation also in the same time period; any comments there?
COLLINS	Well, again, this camera preparation probably should be written into the checklist on page L2-9, in a bit more detail than it is.
ALDRIN	Well, on 2-13 in detail, but do you want it sooner?
COLLINS	Well, this is when you're unstowing it, because really all it says is cameras and that really means the 16-mm plus the 70-mm and the various lenses. You hand them up and you get the bracket from Neil. It's really sort of an assembly process there. This is sort of a dealer's choice, but I suggest that the following crews give some thought right on page 2-9 to deciding what cameras they want to unstow or what they want to do with them and how they're going to do it. Otherwise, they're going to have another trip back down to the LEB which really isn't necessary.
