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.

Houston, Apollo 13. Give me a call when you're ready for E-memory dump.

This is Houston, 13. You are weak. Please repeat.

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.

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.
