00 00 12 31
Jim Lovell (CDR): SECO.
00 00 12 32
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Copy SECO, Jim. We're looking at the DSKY.
00 00 12 36
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger.
00 00 13 02
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. You have a GO orbit all sources, and the booster is safe. Over.
00 00 13 07
Jim Lovell (CDR): GO orbit and the booster is safe. Thank you, Joe.
00 00 13 10
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Don't mention it.
00 00 13 30
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We copy your NOUN 44.
00 00 13 34
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Joe.
00 00 14 57
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. Your preliminary orbit down here is 102.5 times 100.3, and everything is looking good.
00 00 15 06
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger, Houston. And it looks good to be up here again.
00 00 15 10
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): I'll bet.
00 00 15 34
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. I have your Z torquing angles. You ready?
00 00 15 42
Jim Lovell (CDR): Jack is ready to copy, Joe.
00 00 15 44
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. It's plus 0.26. Over.
00 00 15 52
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Joe. Plus 0.26.
00 00 15 55
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's Roger.
00 00 21 39
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston.
00 00 21 42
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
00 00 21 44
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Couple minutes to LOS, Jim. Everything is looking real good. Your AOS time at Carnarvon will be 52:36, and we don't have too much of a handle on why the inboard cut off early except that it apparently was an engine problem and not a switch-select function. But we are certain that you'll be able to make TLI based on what we are looking at now.
00 00 22 11
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. There's nothing like an interesting launch.
00 00 22 14
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's right.
00 00 23 14
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. Canary LOS in 30 seconds. Request COMMAND RESET, please.
00 00 23 21
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. COMMAND RESET coming on.
00 00 23 24
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Thank you.
00 00 23 40
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. Request LOW BIT RATE, please. Over.
00 00 23 44
Jim Lovell (CDR): LOW BIT RATE.
00 00 52 16
Jack Swigert (CMP): Houston, how do you read 13?
00 00 52 20
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. Loud and clear.
00 00 52 23
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Joe. Everything's going good. We're proceeding on the time line in good fashion. I've got a P52 done. I can give you the torquing angles.
00 00 52 33
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): I'm ready for them, Jack.
00 00 52 35
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Use NOUN 26; stars 26 and 33. The star angle difference was all balls. NOUN 93: minus 067, minus all balls, plus 0.162. The time of torquing was 45 minutes 35 seconds.
00 00 52 59
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Well, that sounds marginally acceptable.

00 00 53 04
Jack Swigert (CMP): For a new CMP, it ain't too bad.
00 00 53 05
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Yes. Okay, 13. We've got nothing for you at the moment. Everything's looking good. We're looking at your data now.
00 00 58 10
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. LOS Carnarvon in about 30 seconds. Honeysuckle on the hour, and verify your S-band is up for Honeysuckle. Over.
00 00 58 21
Fred Haise (LMP): That's verified.
00 00 58 23
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger.
00 00 58 24
Jim Lovell (CDR): And, Houston, we're beginning to see a beautiful sunrise here.
00 00 58 29
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger that, Jim.
00 01 00 51
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 13, Houston through Honeysuckle.
00 01 01 10
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston through Honeysuckle.
00 01 01 15
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger, Houston; 13 here. Reading you loud and clear.
00 01 01 19
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. S-band sounds good, Jim.
00 01 03 21
Fred Haise (LMP): Houston, 13.
00 01 03 24
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Go ahead, 13.
00 01 03 26
Fred Haise (LMP): Would it be okay if I crank up the FM … …?
00 01 03 37
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): You're coming in weak. I didn't quite copy it.
00 01 03 42
Fred Haise (LMP): Would it be okay, Joe, if we crank up the FM after we leave Honeysuckle here?
00 01 03 47
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Oh. Stand by on that one.
00 01 04 43
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 13, Houston.
00 01 04 46
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
00 01 04 48
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): What TV was that? Okay, 13 —
00 01 04 55
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Joe. I just wanted to put on the TV switch at Honeysuckle to tune her up there.
00 01 05 01
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. I'm being prompted, and you've got a GO for that. You can turn it on, go to TV, and we'll see you that way over the States.
00 01 05 10
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
00 01 05 36
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. 13, Houston. LOS Honeysuckle in about 30 seconds, and we'll see you over the States at 1 plus 28 plus 43.
00 01 05 57
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. Did you copy your AOS time?
00 01 28 40
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston through Guaymas. Over.
00 01 29 31
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston through Guaymas. Over.
00 01 29 55
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston.

00 01 31 07
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. Over.
00 01 31 09
Jack Swigert (CMP): Go ahead.
00 01 31 10
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Hello there. We thought you were still up there.
00 01 31 13
Jack Swigert (CMP): And we're just coming up on Baja, and I've got the TV on. Do you want it?
00 01 31 18
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): I don't think we require it just yet, Jack, but we'll command it when we're ready. I believe they are dumping the tape now. The booster looks good. The spacecraft looks good on the few minutes' data we've had.
00 01 31 31
Jim Lovell (CDR): That sounds good.
00 01 31 35
Jack Swigert (CMP): Jim finally let me look out.
00 01 31 41
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): (Laughter) How do you like it?
00 01 31 52
Jack Swigert (CMP): Chained me to the LEB down there stowing things and unstowing things, and I finally got a chance to look out and see the world.
00 01 32 16
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. I have the TLI plus 90, and lift-off plus 8 pads whenever you're ready.
00 01 32 35
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Go ahead with the TLI pad, Joe.
00 01 32 41
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. This is the TLI plus 90 pad. SPS/G&N, 63825, minus 1.54, plus 1.32, 004:06:45.53, minus 0491.7, plus 0000.1, plus 6634.0, 180, 228, 001; HA is N/A; HP is plus 0017.9; 6652.2, 7:37, 6626.5, 26, 155.4, 15.7.

00 01 34 41
Jim Lovell (CDR): Joe, we had a dropout of signal there about midway or about a fifth of the start of your pad, and Fred didn't get it. We'd like you to start over again. Could you please?
00 01 34 52
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Sure thing. You want the whole thing?
00 01 34 54
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes, I think you'd better.

00 01 37 15
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's correct. We would like you to go the S-BAND AUX TV switch to TV, please.
00 01 37 22
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. It's set to TV.
00 01 37 23
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. We're not getting a signal.

00 01 38 31
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger, Fred. Readback correct. The sextant star is 26, and the shaft is 15.54. Over.
00 01 38 42
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Sextant star 26 and 15.54.
00 01 38 46
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. And we have a picture now; however, it's moving around quite a bit, if you could hold the camera a little steadier. And I have your —
00 01 38 54
Fred Haise (LMP): — Okay, Joe. There's nothing but clouds outside, and when we get some land down there coming up, I'll switch back to the window. I thought I'd just show you Jim here, to make sure he's still here.
00 01 39 08
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay; real fine. We had a good picture of Jim there for a minute. I have the lift-off plus 8 pad, Fred. If you're ready.
