Spacelog Apollo 13

Okay. In answer to the battery-charging questions, I calculate it should be fully charged at 12:35. Play that one, though, the same as the waste vent. If you want to do it earlier because you're turning in, why that's fine with us.

Okay, we'll continue on with a few other things we got to get done, and just before turning in, we'll check with you, and you can remind us then.

Okay, Vance, give me a call when you're ready for our E-memory dump.

Okay, 13. We're not quite ready yet. We'll give you a call when we're ready.

Roger. Go ahead.

Okay, Vance. I understand you're ready.

Negative, GUIDO isn't quite ready yet.

Okay. I thought I heard you call us.

But we're ready now, Jack, so GUIDO says he's ready to take it.

On the way down.

Houston, Apollo 13.

13, Houston. Go.

Okay, Vance. Requesting clearance now to turn the vent valve back to CLOSE again, and also the battery charge off.

Roger. That's fine with us, Jim. Proceed.

Apollo 13, Houston.

Go ahead, Vance.

We think the spacecraft's looking in good shape. Nobody has any comment down here before you hit the hay.

Okay. Row do they think we stand on the way of consumables so far?

You're looking in good shape in all respects—consumables-wise.

13, Houston.

Okay, go ahead, Vance.

Just the last comment, Jack. Would you clear Hal, please, so he doesn't burn his lights out there tonight?

No, I—I was just—I'll do that for you.

Okeydoke.

And we'll see you in the morning, huh?

Okay. It'll be just a minute or 2 yet. We have to finish up a couple more chores.

What do you mean? It is morning.

Hey, that's right.

It's been a long day, huh?

Yes, it sure was.

Hello, Houston. Houston, Apollo 13. Over.

Good morning, 13. This is Houston. How are you?

Read you loud and clear. We had a fairly good night's sleep.

Okay. Real fine. At your leisure, you can give us radiation reports, I guess. We are getting a consumables update together for you, and a few other little details whenever you are ready to talk. About the only major thing on the spacecraft is that it's been getting farther away.

Okay. Well, that's to be expected, I guess.

And we're starting to charge battery A, Houston.

Roger on battery A, Fred. EECOM says battery B looks real good.

Okay.

Houston, 13.

Go ahead.

Okay. For information, Fred was on COMM last night; and he was over in the left-hand seat, and if you want our radiation readings, we just goofed. We left them all in the suits which are now nicely tucked away. We are going to get out Jack's suit in an hour or so anyway, and we'll get his dosimeter out if you wanted to get the reading on that one.

Okay. That will be satisfactory.

Okay.
