INTRODUCTION
The time used by Mission Control Center (MCC) and indicated as GET
in the flight plan may be updated to both the spacecraft and MCC com-
puters but will not be updated to the telemetry downlink pulse-code-
modulated bitstream or other time,rec6_ing devices. This GET updating
will be performed only to correct significant changes in flight-plan
time occurring as the result of delayed lift-off, midcourse corrections,
or spacecraft burn-time differences (trajectory dispersions).
Should these updates occur, the ApOllo elapsed time (the true
mission-elapsed t_me) may not agree with flight'plan and MCC times.
Users of this transcript are cautioned to apply the appropriate time-
update deltas for the updated periods.

CMP Little bit of glare out the window, but not bad.
Aitken is about two crater diameters from the -
fr_n the terminator on this rev. And being close
to the terminator, you can look around the general
terrain - around the whole area. It's pretty well
subdued. There are spots as - what I call plains-
flow-type material. The reason I call it plains-
fill material as opposed to a lava flow is because
the crater population seems to be considerably
more - considerably higher in these areas. And,
the areas I'm speaking of primarily are just to
the east of Aitken and also to the north in some
of the low-lying valleys. Try to pick up some sort
of flow lines or anything around it. Don't see any
this time around on the - on the plains-flow-type
material around the edges. Looking at the general
edge of the crater Aitken itself, you don't see any
positive elements as an eJecta blanket or ray ma-
terial. There aren't any around. However, the
rims, slumping within the rims, particularly on
the west wall, is considerably apparent. It is
Tape 17-03415
Page 2
05 17 24 41 C_P Sure funny - the way those things fall off back
down there and - although in the case of Roosa [?]
it's quite apparent. You can see herringbone,
hummocky-type material, or ejeeta blanket, all the
way around it. It covers up all the way across
Becvar and every place else. You can see it all
over the place. But it sure seems to be a heck
of a lot of the material falling back in the middle,
somehow. They usually start out as a small -
smaller craters and just keep caving in, or some-
thing. There has got to be some big blocks down
there. There you can see the crater King. On
across there - and coming across the Arabia now.
Looking out across the horizon you can see that
it's away. Yes, it's Just a wide spot where Creek -
where King is, I think, - especially to the north
of King and to the south of King. It's a little
bit higher than it is to the west. There's a little
bit of a plateau - even a crater diameter from King
off to the northeast. You can see Labachevsky
clear up on the horizon now. And there's scme sort
of a - a greenish, - again, in this sunlight to me
it looks kind of a greenish - a greenish tint to it
anyhow. I don't have my sunglasses on either, by
the way. The ... flow is all - There's a fresh
crater - about a crater diameter south of King.
That's maybe 20 kilometers in diameter. It's
obviously an impact-type crater. But again, you
have the dark-greenish layering around the top of
the crater. And maybe it extends for about one-
eighth of the crater depth. And then you can see
some hint of the green - greenish or darker-type
material down at the bottom of the crater floor.

area that you guys landed is completely different
than the rest of the annulus - the rest of the
Moon, the rest of the annulus around Serenitatis,
and the different color. And - I'm beginning to
get the feeling that - that a liquid mantle at
some time or another did cross - did cross on the
back side, anyhow, at one time or another,
recently, during a period of time. It's in that -
in the PGA thing down there, I guess. Same place,
in that little - ... It's already reached the
point where - I've already shaved once, though.
Yes, that's right. I really was going to shave
yesterday, and I Just didn't have time. Packing
that darn bag full of stuff, it took me an hour

can always dump - with the back side of the Moon
coming up. I was in FREE one time coming around,
and I dumped on the back side of the Moon. Almost
went into gimbal lock (laughter). It really fouls
you up.

CMP Hey, you can see the dark part of Serenitatis stick-
ing out of the sea of Proclus - the ray-excluded
zone. No, that's Fecunditatis sticking up there,
isn't it? Because the ray perpendicular to our
track now points right to the landing site right
off - off - off of Proclus.
LMP The area where one of the Russian vehicles set down
and returned samples from is Just about in the cen-
ter of your field of view now. Just on the north
side of Fecutun - Fecunditatis.
LMP But I'll tell you what's on the horizon now. I'm
not sure I - I can get it. Let me try the rer,dez-
vous window. I think I can show them Apollo ]l's
landing site.

LMP Around the edge of the dome floor, you can see some
of the dark mare that is prevalent elsewhere in the
region but not so abundant within Humboldt.
LMP - - Program - -
CMP Okay.
CMP Yes.
LMP And if you take a line from Proclus between the two
bright craters --
LMP Take that line, and that will take you Just about
to the landing area, right at the edge of the next
big mare that you see.
09 18 49 43 CDR The site, Gordo, is now Just to the left - left and
a little below center of your picture. You can -
you can see that region of mountains that sticks
out, and the landing site is - well, frc_ here,
anyway, right in that area.
09 18 51 08 CDR Jack, I think you've got a good view. You can see
Censorinus now. You can probably get a real good
shot at the I1 site at Tranquillity.
CDR I can't even see the Massifs with the naked eye.
No.
LMP Come on, you guys, I can even see the light mantle.
