SOLO BOOK (Notes)

While Collins’s crewmates are away, he has an array of duties to perform. If something goes wrong, then he must be prepared to rescue the LM if possible or even return to Earth without the other astronauts. Both his nominal duties and contingency flight plan are kept in a special “SOLO BOOK,” which he gets ready to use. Here, Collins monitors Eagle’s descent over the radio and makes notes in his SOLO BOOK.
