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.

# CONFIDENTIAL # 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. ## CONFIDENTIAL
