Spacelog Apollo 13

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.

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

Roger.

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

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

Do you read, Vance?

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

Okay. You got it.

Apollo 13, Houston.

Go ahead, Houston.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Okay. Got it.

Okay. Going to page 13.

Okay.

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.”

Okay. Got it.

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.

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

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

Okay.

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

Okay. Got it.

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.

Okay. Got it.

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 —

All right. Got it.

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

Okay.

— 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 —

Okay.

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

Okay.

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.”

Okay.

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”

All right.

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.”
