00 04 52 33
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, 13; Houston. The booster says that the propulsive dump is concluded; he now has the nonpropulsive vents open and what you see is a normal phenomenon and it should go on for another 5 minutes or so.

00 04 52 52
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
00 04 52 54
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): And, while I've got you, 13, at your convenience, we'd like to have the results of the EMS bias tests that you did pre-TLI and pre-SEP.
00 04 53 08
Jack Swigert (CMP): Stand by.
00 04 53 10
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay.
00 04 54 05
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Joe. The TLI—the DELTA-V no bias test prior to TLI, we had a 0.8, and post-TLI, it was 1.0.
00 04 54 24
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack. Copy that. Thank you very much. Incidentally, as your tracking gets better and better, the size of MCC-2 is getting lower and lower and figures to be somewhere between 20 and 30 feet per second now.
00 04 54 40
Jack Swigert (CMP): Sounds good.
00 04 54 41
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Yes, sure does.
00 04 54 54
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston.

Jack Swigert (CMP): Go ahead, Joe.
00 04 54 57
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. We have a PTC REFSMMAT ready, if you're ready to go P00 and ACCEPT, we'll stick it in there.
00 04 55 05
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Stand by.
00 04 55 08
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay.
00 04 55 45
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. I'm P00 and ACCEPT, Joe.
00 04 55 48
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Roger that.
00 04 59 02
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. We'll have a handover in half a minute or so. You may get a momentary loss of strength.
00 04 59 09
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Joe.
00 05 00 28
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. The computer is yours. Over.
00 05 00 31
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Going to BLOCK.
00 05 00 32
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger.
00 05 30 13
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Houston. Do you copy 13's torquing angles on the P52?
00 05 30 18
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. Leave them up just a second, and we'll get them down.
00 05 30 29
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. Okay. We got them.
00 05 30 46
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. The time of torquing was 5 hours 30 minutes and 40 seconds.
00 05 30 51
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. We copy.
00 05 39 47
Jim Lovell (CDR): Hello, Houston; Apollo 13.
00 05 39 49
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. Go ahead.
00 05 39 51
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. I just got all hooked up to get in my COMM system here, and I just wanted to check out. I've got my suit stowed, a few other odds and ends done, and I'm back in business again.
00 05 40 01
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Good deal. We're kind of hanging loose down here. I've got a lift-off plus 15 pad. There's no hurry to read it up, so let us know when you're ready.
00 05 40 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay.
00 05 41 44
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. Go ahead with the pad.
00 05 41 48
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. Lift-off plus 15 pad: GETI 015:00, DELTA-VT 5622, longitude minus 165, and GET 400K 047:04. Over.
00 05 42 19
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. Lift-off plus 15: GETI 015:00, 5622, minus 165, 047:04. Is that correct?
00 05 42 36
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's right, Jim.
00 05 54 45
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston.
00 05 54 48
Jack Swigert (CMP): Go ahead, Jim.
00 05 54 50
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. We'd like to have the ATTITUDE SET switch back to GDC, if you're finished with your aline. It gives GNC down here a telemetry problem.
00 05 55 01
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes; okay.
00 05 55 02
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Thank you.
00 05 55 10
Jack Swigert (CMP): I'm just going to give them one more aline here.
00 05 55 12
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. No rush.
00 06 15 40
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston.
00 06 15 41
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
00 06 15 43
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. Would you please verify or tell us what S-band antenna configuration you're in, please?
00 06 15 51
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Stand by.
00 06 16 07
Jim Lovell (CDR): We're in HIGH GAIN.
00 06 16 10
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. Stand by a minute, Jim. Our signal strength is getting a little low. We may have a recommendation.
00 06 16 21
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. Are you in MANUAL or AUTO in HIGH GAIN?
00 06 16 26
Jim Lovell (CDR): Stand by. We're in AUTO TRACK, Joe, and HIGH GAIN.
