Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. TLI: 2 plus 26 plus 05, 179, 108, 000, 5 plus 47, 10416.9, 35587, 358, 139, 320, 302, 319, 040, and ejection time, 4 plus 01 plus 00.
00 01 41 18
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Key moment The crew broadcasts their first TV signal from orbit: Roger, Fred. Readback correct, and we're getting a nice color TV picture now. If you have any commentary to go with it.
00 01 41 31
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Joe. I'll tell you, I'm just trying to figure out where we are here.
00 01 41 40
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's your job, not mine.
00 01 41 43
Jack Swigert (CMP): You know, I've just been up out of the LEB for a short time here, and I'm trying to find out which country we're over.
00 01 41 52
Jim Lovell (CDR): I have to keep telling Jack that the blue stuff down there is water.
00 01 41 56
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): I'll give you a hint. You're in the western hemisphere.
00 01 42 10
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Joe. It appears like that we've crossed out into the Gulf of Mexico here, and I've got a peninsula or an island that's down there. I don't know whether you can see it.
00 01 42 34
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger, Jack. We see that. Of course, there's a lot of cloudcover and you see it more clearly than we do, but it does look like the Earth, not the Moon.
00 01 42 58
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. We've had LOS MILA now. Thank you very much.
00 01 43 48
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. Request P00 and ACCEPT for a state vector. Over.
00 01 43 53
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger, Houston. We're in P00 and ACCEPT.
00 01 43 56
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay.
00 01 48 08
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston.
00 01 48 10
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
00 01 48 11
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. The computer is yours, Jim.
00 01 48 14
Jim Lovell (CDR): Thank you, —
00 01 48 16
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): And you are GO for TLI. Huntsville reports that you have a 6-second propellant pad which is 3 seconds more than a 3-sigma case; so you're good on consumables. The IU is so good that we're not going to update it. The only change we have for you is in the TLI checklist. At 57 minutes where you slew the FDAI to 18 degrees, we recommend 20 degrees there, and we recommend that you look for 8 degrees instead of 6 degrees at ignition. The S-IVB is riding on the top of its deadband.
00 01 48 56
Jim Lovell (CDR): — Understand; and just out of curiosity, was that engine out to use up more S-IVB fuel?
00 01 49 03
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): The engine out did cause you to use more S-IVB fuel—about a 10-second-longer burn; but you're still GO.
00 01 49 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Thank you.
00 01 49 21
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): And, 13, Houston. We're ready to support pyro arm and docking probe extension whenever you're ready.
00 01 49 36
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. Docking probe has been extended and all indications are nominal. We're down to PYRO ARM now and we're getting ready.
00 01 49 47
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim.
00 01 49 58
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. My circuit breaker's armed—or closed; SEQUENTIAL LOGIC, two, on and up and we're …
00 01 50 06
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, 13. You are GO for pyro arm.
00 01 50 40
Jim Lovell (CDR): And, Houston, 13. Were you reading us?
00 01 50 43
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger, 13. Go ahead.
00 01 50 47
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. We have our SEQUENTIAL ARM circuit breakers in and our SEQUENTIAL LOGIC, two, on and up and we are just standing by for your confirmation for a GO.
00 01 50 56
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Sorry, 13. You didn't copy. You are GO for pyro arm. Over.
00 01 51 00
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay; fine. Thank you.
00 01 53 21
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston.
00 01 53 24
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
00 01 53 26
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): About 2-1/2 minutes to LOS, Jim, and your AOS at Carnarvon will be 2 plus 25 plus 50. Over.
00 01 53 41
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. AOS at Carnarvon 2 plus 25 plus 50.
00 01 53 45
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's affirm.
00 01 53 57
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. LOS in about 1 minute. At LOS we would like COMMAND RESET and then NORMAL.
00 01 55 06
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger.
00 02 25 38
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston through Carnarvon.
00 02 25 41
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Joe. Read you loud and clear. We are sitting here monitoring time base 6 … countdown; we're 20 seconds away.
00 02 25 49
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. We're just starting to get data, and everything still looks good to us.
00 02 25 53
Jack Swigert (CMP): Hey, Joe. At 2 hours and 12 minutes, the O₂ FLOW HIGH light came on, and it's been pegged high ever since, so it's been on about 14 minutes now.
00 02 26 04
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger, 13. We're looking at it.
00 02 26 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): Time base 6.
00 02 26 12
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Copy. Time base 6.
00 02 26 52
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Apollo 13, Houston. You have a GO for all systems, and the O₂ FLOW HIGH check is nominal with the WASTE TANK VENT open at this time, and it's no sweat.
00 02 27 05
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Just wanted you all to check it for me.
00 02 27 08
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. We did.
00 02 27 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): Thank you.
00 02 31 22
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. We will be losing data from Carnarvon in about 1 minute. We'll probably have voice through ARIA. Everything is hunky-dory, and we will be listening for you to tell us how the burn goes.

Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, this is 13. We are standing by, too.
00 02 33 14
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston through ARIA. Just a COMM check. Over.
00 02 33 20
Jim Lovell (CDR): Reading you clear …
00 02 33 26
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. It's not the best, but we are reading you.
