# 2.0 STATUS CHECKS AND COUNTDOWN

## 2.2 COMM VERIFICATION

ARMSTRONG Our prelaunch COMM checks were all reasonably good.

ALDRIN It's unfortunate that, because of the location of that center panel, we do have to split the COMM and take the center couch off the pad COMM. I can't say we really suffered much on account of it, but it would be nice if there were some way to make that switch position change — either figure out some way to loosen the belt and get back up there and readjust the COMM, or change positions in some way.

## 2.4 G&C VERIFICATION

## 2.5 GROUND COMMUNICATIONS AND COUNTDOWN

ARMSTRONG GDC align was good.

ARMSTRONG Communications were excellent throughout the prelaunch phase. We had no problems with controls and displays that I can recall.

## 2.10 CREW STATION CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS

## ALDRIN

They had that attenuation strut positioned very nicely so that I could see the altimeter. On the simulator it's very difficult from the center couch to see the altimeter. They had rotated this handle on the X strut on the left of my seat so that I could see just about the entire altimeter, which is good. I think that ought to be a standard procedure.
