13, Houston. You're weak but clear; it will probably get better in a second. We're standing by for the burn report.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Sounds good, Houston. The ride was very nominal. We a little vibration, though, during most of the run.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, Joe. the DSKY read 35560, plus 04445, plus 01769, and DELTA-VC was minus 3.0.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. You can't ask for much better than that. How about the burn time? Did you notice?
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. We have the S-IVB maneuver to SEP attitude commencing at 2 plus 56 plus 37. Duration of the maneuver: 4 minutes. SEP time, 3 plus 06 plus 37. Over.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. If I heard those right, Joe, the S-IVB maneuver was 2 plus 56 plus 57. SEP time is 3 plus 06 plus 27.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. 2 plus 56 plus 37, with the maneuver time and the SEP time, 3 plus 06 plus 27?
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
We see the booster doing all the right things, and FIDO says your trajectory looks good, and it looks like we'll stick with a pretty close to nominal midcourse, too. We'll have some numbers for you later.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
And, 13, Houston. Check your NOUN 17 for extraction pitch attitude. It should be 319 degrees. Over.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
13, Houston. Affirmative. You're GO for pyro arm, and recommend you secure the cabin pressurization.
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
We did. We closed the waste management vent valve, there. Or waste stowage valves —
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Yes, that's quite a bang, Joe. We've separated, and we've pitched around about 60 degrees now.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
We've seen some debris, Fred. The booster itself is a little bit bright. What's your f-stop?
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, I'm going to be moving the TV directly. I'm going to pull it out of this bracket, Jim.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Roger. I'm going to be moving the TV to get a better shot here—moving it out of this bracket.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Fred. It's just beginning to cut off at the bottom, but it's still a very good picture.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Everything looks pretty good down in the S-IVB, too. The shroud still looks intact down there.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. You've got AVERAGE, and a little yellow dust cap just floated by in front of us.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Fred, after a few minutes of this, at your convenience, we could use some interior shots if you get the time and if the lighting is good.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
And, 13, Houston. The S-IVB vent times are nominal as in the flight plan within a few seconds.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Understand. Good deal. Fred, one more thing on the TV. If you could come to f:22 again —
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
And, Houston, Fred will handle the camera as we go through the postdocking checklist.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, Joe. I am pointing it over toward Jack, and it's pretty bright with the Earth out that window. Is that sort of washing out the picture here?
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
No, Fred, it's not. We've got a bright spot where the window is. The rest of you are semi-silhouetted. It's a pretty impressive picture.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
For Fred. The IOS [?] has caught you with the fuel cell reactant values in latch again.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. With the direct sunlight from the window, out of the TV camera field as it is now, we'd like you to open it up an f-stop or so and, if convenient, try to keep that bright spot out of the window.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
That is, we want you to open it up. Looks like a very interesting book you're reading.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. About all we see on this picture, Fred, are the bright spots with the lights around the tunnel area. The hatch itself is pretty dark.

13, Houston. By the way, we'd like to know how the high gain antenna lockup worked. Our signal strength is a little bit lower than we thought it would be.
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
It looked just the way I expected it to, Joe. I had her sitting there in REACQ with the numbers cranked in and soon as we got pretty much through the rotation, I just threw it down to HIGH GAIN and it appeared to lock right up.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
We'd kind of like to hold off on the—start the venting again until we get the things—pumped back up inside here. Wonder if you might give us a call to remind us when to initiate that.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, 13; Houston. I think we could use an f-stop lower. What f-stop are you in now?
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
What you're looking at, Joe, is the commander has removed the hatch and is proceeding to stow it.
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Hey, Joe. Jim reports that there's a slight, you know, burn smell up in the tunnel area, as been reported on previous flights.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes, Joe. That's—That's concurring with all the thousands of particles that I see going by outside here.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes, that's affirm—affirm, Joe. Do you have any detail up in there at all? On the monitor it looks like I can—I can make out the drogue—the drogue a little bit, but not much else.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Fred. That's pretty nice looking picture. We'd like to know what settings you used to get that.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. I think Jim is holding it now and—it—Okay, it should be in about f:22, infinity, and I think the 50-millimeter. And Jim says he thinks he hit Baja in the picture now.
