FLOWN ON APOLLO 11 – Apollo 11 Flight Plan, pp 3-17/3-18 . NASA/MSC, 1 July 1969. Extensively annotated—one of the few flown pages containing notes by all three Apollo 11 crew members. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Buzz ALDRIN on both pages: " Flown to the Moon " and " Carried to the Moon on Apollo XI / Buzz Aldrin ." Neil Armstrong and crew had just awakened from their first sleep period of Apollo 11. Armstrong made notes on the amount of sleep of each crewman. While eating breakfast, Buzz Aldrin recorded spacecraft “housekeeping” details relating to batteries, filter changes, and fuel consumption. Later, Mike Collins began some trouble shooting activities with the navigational equipment, in which he recorded notes from Mission Control on page 3-17. These are some of the most extensive notes made by Collins in the entire flight plan. Before the beginning of the sleep period, Collins experienced difficulty having the spacecraft’s sextant line up with a star and the Earth’s limb after maneuvering Columbia to the coordinates requested by Mission Control. This sheet records the steps to attempt to correct the problems that occurred last evening; however, problems still were occurring this morning. Mission Control later send up burn data for the Mid-Course Correction Burn Number 2 (MCC-2) planned for 26 hours 44 minutes into the mission. This data was based on ground radar data, not Columbia’s. An accurate MCC-2 was needed to place them on the exact trajectory as they entered their desired lunar orbit, some 60 nautical miles above the Moon. [With:] Buzz ALDRIN's SIGNED provenance letter, reading in part: "Enclosed with this letter is a sheet numbered 3-16 and 3-17 from the Apollo 11 Flight Plan, Part No. SKB32100080-350, S/N 1001. It is part of the entire document that was carried to the Moon in Command Module Columbia on the first lunar landing mission during July 16 to 24, 1969. This sheet ... covers hour 22 to the beginning of hour 25 in the mission. It contains extensive notes by Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and myself. Page 3-16 lists our Post Sleep Checklist and other activities on the morning after our first rest period in space. Neil recorded the amount of sleep each crew member got in hours with: “CDR – 7, CMP – 7, LMP – 5.” I actually got a half an hour more than Neil wrote, so I added that to my LMP number. Mission Control radioed several updates to the flight plan while we started our morning meal. I checked off five steps listed and crossed out the AUTO RCS JET SELECT (16) – ON, then logged that the “Proc(edure) for exiting (on) F 9-8” which was the page number in section F of the CSM Checklist. I noted: “Batt Charge A, (was) Started at 23:07” this morning and that the CO2 filter change was: “Comp(leted at) 24:40.” Mission Control the radioed the amount of consumables we had used up to this time into the mission. I recorded that information in the Consumable Update data box. Those notes read; “22:30, -3.5%, -3.5, -1.5, -5.0, -4.0” which was the mission time and the total percent change in our Service Module Reaction Control System (-3.5%) with the other 4 numbers actual use from the A, B, C, and D rocket engine groups. The last entries were: “-2#, -4#.” Those were the hydrogen and oxygen quantity changes in pounds up to that time. Page 3-17 lists a fuel cell purge. I recorded: “4 M.A. (Master Alarms) on FC 3” (Fuel Cell 3) which had a “hi flow” rate and logged other associated information. I then updated our roll, pitch, and yaw values and recorded 15 other values associated with our optics calibration. Mike Collins then performed an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) P(rogram) 52 realign and recorded the N71 values of “36, 37,” the N05 values of “000.00,” and the X, Y, Z N93 values of: “-00.493, -00.191, 00.024.” He logged this alignment occurring at a GET of “024:16:36” (hours, minutes, seconds) into the mission. These were the REFSMMAT or Reference Stable Member Matrix values. The star cod notes of: “36 Vega, 3
