NASA 1:	Roger, Pete.
Russel:	Lube oil temp 110.
Knight:	ASAS check is complete. I'm on high, low, high. BCS, roll, and ASAS is armed. Did you get that, Mike?
NASA 1:	Roger, Pete.
Knight:	OK. Roll checks good.
NASA 1:	And NASA 1 copy.
A/C 934:	NASA 1.
NASA 1:	Go ahead.
A/C 934:	Could you advise Sport that I'm reading them on the X-15 radio, evidently they can't read me.
NASA 1:	OK, that's all you need.
B-52:	5 minutes, Pete.
Knight:	OK, X-15 oxygen. #2800 on the X-15 oxygen. Cabin altitude is 35,000.
NASA 1:	Roger, Pete, and NASA 1 will call 4 minutes.
Knight:	OK.
Russel:	Topoff complete.
NASA 1:	Roger, Jack.
B-52:	Steady on 168°.
NASA 1:	Roger, and calling 4 minutes now.
B-52:	Steady on 168.
NASA 1:	Roger, and we just called 4 minutes.
Knight:	Rog, 4 minutes, going to pressurize. Tanks are steadying out at 45.
NASA 1:	Roger, Pete.
Knight:	Got 3 jettison switches to jettison. I'm on radio, how do you read me?
NASA 1:	Read you 5 square, Pete, how me?
Knight:	OK, 5 square. Going MIT pointer vectors. Seems to be tracking accurately.
NASA 1:	OK, Pete.
B-52:	3 minutes, Pete.
Knight:	Rog, going to precision attitudes.
NASA 1:	2 degrees left, 008.
Knight:	Data's on. IFDS Malfunction lights are out. Inertial gages read 45,000 altitude, zero H dot, 850 per second, 35 on the predicted.

NASA 1:	Roger, Pete. 008, 2 degrees left.
B-52:	Roger, 164°. 2 minutes, Pete.
Knight:	Rog, 2 minutes, IFDS altitude on. Push to test ball nose. Ball nose looks good. I got + 2 degrees alpha, about a needle and a half, needle left. Window shades are up.
NASA 1:	Roger, Pete, I'll give you a one minute call.
Knight:	Rog.
NASA 1:	OK, 1 minute now.
Knight:	Rog, 1 minute.

Chase:	Good light.
NASA 1:	Rog, Pete, got a good light. Check your alpha. Watch your heading. Track is looking good. Coming up on profile. Stand-by for theta, looking real good. Have you on theta, your track looks good, right on profile. Coming through 60, good profile, you're on track. Beautiful track, Pete. Up to 80,000 check now. Profile's looking real good. Coming up on 104,000 now.
Knight:	Shutdown.
NASA 1:	Understand shutdown, Pete. We've got a Grapevine time here. Chase, we will confirm a Grapevine landing. How do you read, Pete?
Chase 3:	NASA 1, did you say Grapevine?
NASA 1:	That's affirm. How do you read me, Pete? Is anybody reading the X-15?
Chase 1:	Chase 1 does.
NASA 1:	Chase 1, NASA 1, do you read anybody?
Chase 1:	I don't read Pete .......
Chase 3:	Do you have a .......... on him?
NASA 1:	No, we have lost TM.
Chase 3:	I've looked all over Grapevine.
NASA 1:	Chase 3, you can be looking for jettison down around Grapevine.
Chase 3:	Roger, 1, I'm looking.
NASA 1:	OK. Pete, do you read?
Chase 3:	Over Grapevine at 30,000.
NASA 1:	I kind of think he will be coming in from the SE if he comes in there.
Chase 3:	OK.
NASA 1:	Chase 1 and 2, keep an eye around Mud.
Chase 2:	Rog, Mike, I'm over Mud, keep an eye peeled.
NASA 1:	Rog.
Chase 2:	Pete, do you read?
Chase 3:	Seen or heard anything?
Chase 2:	He's going into Mud. I think he's landing East to West .......... center of Mud and in good shape right now.
NASA 1:	Roger, understand.
