====Arrival and initial operations====
At 75:55:54 into the mission, {{convert|95.1|nmi|km|abbr=off|disp=out|sp=us}} (95.1&nbsp;nautical&nbsp;miles; {{convert|95.1|nmi|mi|abbr=off|disp=out}}) above the far side of the Moon, the CSM's [[service propulsion system]] (SPS) engine was fired for 356.1 seconds to slow the spacecraft into a lunar orbit of {{convert|170.0|by|60.2|nmi|km|abbr=off|disp=out|sp=us}} (170&nbsp;by&nbsp;60.2&nbsp;nautical&nbsp;miles; {{convert|170.0|by|60.2|nmi|mi|abbr=off|disp=out}}). This was followed, after two orbits of the Moon, with a 13.9-second firing of the SPS to circularize the orbit to {{convert|61.0|by|59.2|nmi|km|abbr=off|disp=out|sp=us}} (61&nbsp;by&nbsp;59.2&nbsp;nautical&nbsp;miles; {{convert|61.0|by|59.2|nmi|mi|abbr=off|disp=out}}) at 80:25:08.1.{{sfn|Orloff & Harland|p=260}} Within the first couple of hours after the initial lunar orbit insertion burn and following the circularization burn, the crew turned to tracking planned landmarks on the surface below to record observations and take photographs. In addition to ALS-1, ALS-2, and ALS-3, the crew of Apollo 10 observed and photographed features on the near and far sides of the Moon, including the craters [[Coriolis (crater)|Coriolis]], [[King (crater)|King]], and [[Papaleksi (crater)|Papaleksi]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Apollo 10 Day 4, part 13: Acclimatising in lunar orbit |url=https://history.nasa.gov/afj/ap10fj/as10-day4-pt13.html |access-date=June 27, 2022 |website=Apollo 10 Lunar Flight Journal |publisher=NASA}}</ref> Shortly after the circularization burn, the crew partook in a scheduled half-hour color-television broadcast with descriptions and video transmissions of views of the lunar surface below.{{sfn|Orloff|2004|pp=72–79}}

About an hour after the second burn, the LM crew of Stafford and Cernan entered the LM to check out its systems.{{sfn|Orloff & Harland|p=260}} They were met with a blizzard of fiberglass particles from the earlier problem, which they cleaned up with a vacuum cleaner as best they could. Stafford had to help Cernan remove smaller bits from his hair and eyebrows.{{sfn|Chaikin|p=156}} Stafford later commented that Cernan looked like he just came out of a [[chicken coop]], and that the particles made them itch and got into the air conditioning system, and they were scraping it off the filter screens for the rest of the mission.<ref name="Hamish" /> This was merely an annoyance, but the particles may have gotten into the docking ring joining the two craft and caused it to misalign slightly. Mission Control determined that this was still within safe limits.{{sfn|French & Burgess|pp=1374–1376}}
