Spacelog Apollo 13

Go ahead, Houston.

What TV was that? Okay, 13 —

Okay, Joe. I just wanted to put on the TV switch at Honeysuckle to tune her up there.

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.

Okay.

Apollo 13, Houston through Guaymas. Over.

Apollo 13, Houston.

Apollo 13, Houston. Over.

Apollo 13, Houston. Over.

Apollo 13, Houston. Over.

Go ahead.

Hello there. We thought you were still up there.

And we're just coming up on Baja, and I've got the TV on. Do you want it?

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.

That sounds good.

Jim finally let me look out.

(Laughter) How do you like it?

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.

Apollo 13, Houston. I have the TLI plus 90, and lift-off plus 8 pads whenever you're ready.

Okay. Go ahead with the TLI pad, Joe.

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?

Sure thing. You want the whole thing?

Yes, I think you'd better.

Fred, Houston. Over.

Go ahead.

That's correct. We would like you to go the S-BAND AUX TV switch to TV, please.

Okay. It's set to TV.

Okay. We're not getting a signal.

Okay. I'll go to TRANSMIT, Joe.

Okay. You can continue reading back.

Roger, Fred. Readback correct. The sextant star is 26, and the shaft is 15.54. Over.

Okay. Sextant star 26 and 15.54.

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 —

— 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.

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.

Go ahead, Joe.

Okay. GETI, 008:00; DELTA-V_T, 7835; longitude, minus 165; GET 400 K, 022:36. Over.
