INTRODUCTION This is the transcription of the Apollo 8 flightcrew communications as recorded onboard the spacecraft GatT~storage equipment (DSE), and subsequently transmitted (dumped) to Manned Space Flight Network stations. Magnetic tapes containing dumped voice and onboard recorded ground elapsed time (GET) were forwarded to the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center, Eouston, Texas. Transcription of these tap.es was managed by David 5I.Goldenbaum, Test Division, Apollo Spacecraft Program Office, to whom questions regarding this document should be referred. The Apollo 8 mission was flown December 21 to 27, 1968. Cnmmunicators in the text are identified as follows: Commaud module: CDR Commander Frank Bc_man CMP , CommAnd module pilot james A. Lovell, Jr. LMP Lunar module pilot William A. Anders SC Unidenti fiable crewmember Mission Control Center: CC Capsule communicator (CAP COMM) Remote sites: CT Communications technician (CO_D4TECH) AB1 Airboss 1 (Recovery aircraft) RI, R2, R3 Recovery 1, 2, 3 (Recovery helicopters) YORK USS Yorktown In the text, a series of three dots (...) is used to designate those portions of the comn,:uicationswhich could not be transcribed because of garbling. One dash (-) is used to indicate a speaker's pause or a self-interruption. Two dashes (- -) are used to indicate an interruption by another speaker or a point at which a recordin 6 was abruptly terminated. ('_"_1_, Ir',r-.l--k ITI_A I'-- (. DAYi '- O0 O0 22 42 CDR Roger.

That's why I picked them.

Houston, Apollo 8. 03 05 50 54 CMP Roger. One more conunent is Just that, what with all the controversy at data priority meetings, it looks like 10 degrees pitchup is the best attitude to obtain the horizon so that you can follow the landmark down through the scanning telescope. If we pitch down any more, a full-up trunnion will not gather - get the horizon, and the horizon is a great help in leading yourself into the control point. 03 05 52 03 CDR How does that look, Jim?
