Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. Unanimous opinion is that you're right, and we'll scratch all of this Bennett Comet stuff on the way out, with the hope that conditions will be more favorable after TEI. Over.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Sounds good. Without the LM, we may have a better chance.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

And Apollo 13, you're GO for PTC. Your rates are very low according to what we can read.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. Are you going to give a call on OMNI B, Vance?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. Go ahead. Request OMNI B, Fred, and secure the high-gain antenna.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Just something to think about. In about 30 minutes, we can generate the pads that we have yet to send up before the sleep period, so we could support an earlier sleep period if you so desired. And—but, it will take us 30 minutes to get that stuff. The other thing is any time you're ready to copy, I can read up the solo book changes. Over—And, also, two pages in the flight plan.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, Vance. We're about ready to copy the solo book changes and the flight plan changes, and whenever your pads are ready, we'll take those. And as far as moving up the sleep period, that's fine, but we'll—if we don't go to sleep right away, we'll use it to get out some of our lunar maps and study them.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. And we'll get busy getting those pads for you as soon as possible then, and I'll stand by on the copying bit.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, Vance, I'm ready to copy the solo book changes there.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. First, turn to page 12. On the right-hand side of the page, starting from the middle of the page down, everything under “Cycle 5 frames, Replace dark side or dark slide” should be deleted until you get to the very bottom of the page where you have “Acquisition MSFN OMNI D” and that should remain in. Also, leave in “Remove window shades,” which is about the third line down from where you start.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. Okay. Then from “Cycle 5 frames, Replace dark slide,” from there on down, delete.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

That's everything from there on down, with the exception of “Remove window shades” and at the bottom “Acquisition MSFN OMNI D.”

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. Copy.

And that includes in the margin to the left, the “DAP load” that's at the very start there and the “0.0507” and “plus 0500,” farther down.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, in the left margin, just below 105 hours GET, cross out the “0507” and the “plus 0500,” and below that, add in “DAP load” as follows: “10111 and 11111.”

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. Now, next, at about 105:05, there's a “VERB 48.” That should be moved up to 105, and below that, the “VERB 49 maneuver” should be moved up, too.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. That “VERB 48” should be moved up to 105:05 and also the “VERB 49.”

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

That should be moved up to 105:00. I'm sorry. Both.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

And what that does is give you more time to maneuver.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Page 14, right-hand side, near the bottom under “Orbital Science,” scratch out “Verify DSE ON,” and also delete “Visual target 3 on track 180 plus 19,” and cross out the penned-in “D5.”

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Next, page 15, left-hand column, or left-hand side, rather, near the bottom, where it says “Configure cameras and tape” and goes down through “Replace dark slide.” Just make the comment there, “Solar corona is optional.” Over.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, next page, 16. This is a continuation of the same solar-corona thing. On the right-hand side of the page, starting just above 107:40 with “VERB 49, maneuver to solar-corona attitude,” from there on down to 107:55 just beneath “Replace dark slide,” all of this is in an optional category. So you just might line off —

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

— that and put “Optional, solar corona.” Okay, next, page 17 —

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

— starting at 108:00 on the left-hand side, line out “Stop ORB rate at ORB science attitude.” At—Line out in the left-hand column the DAP load of “10101” and “11111.” Going down to 108:10, add in the following: “Stop ORB rate at track attitude,” and, in parentheses, “0, 353, 0.” In the left-hand —

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, in the left-hand column under 108:10, put in a DAP load in parentheses of “10101” and, under that, “11111.”

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Beneath that, scratch out “Spacecraft control dash CMC AUTO verify.” Scratch out the “VERB 79” and all in parentheses after that, like the “Minus 00507,” et cetera. And beneath that, scratch out “PRO to start pitch rate.” In parentheses, “0, 230 slash 018, 0.”

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. Looking to the right, the LM attitude or rather the CSM attitude will be incorrect, so you can cross that off. And beneath the picture of the moon, cross out the—in parentheses, “108.19” and the “0 230/018, 0”

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

On the right-hand half of the page, cross out the “Orbital science block,” and under that “Visual target 1 south of track TR.” And under that, the penned-in “D2/3/4.”
