Spacelog Apollo 13

Okay. Go ahead, TK.

Yes, sir. Understand you have a question.

Yes. I guess I didn't understand what the letter and the number was behind some of these photo targets.

Okay —

Does that refer to the pages?

Yes, sir. That's the map. Each fold is lettered in the lower—or upper right-hand corner if you work your way from east to west and the charts are labeled D, E, and F and the solo stuff will all be the D and E, and they change with the plane change 1. That's the time they change the two maps.

Okay. I got it. Thank you.

Yes, sir. You're doing good work, hey.

Well, I had a good prime crewman that taught me all I know.

Don't run out.

Hey, when FIDO gets a good hack on our trajectory, will you let us know?

How long you willing to wait?

He's looking at his calendar, if that means anything.

(Laughter) All right.

Okay. I'm back at the attitude here, and I'll wait for rates to damps and you let me know when we're stable again.

13, Houston.

Go ahead, Vance.

Roger. Just a reminder you have to disable Charlie and Delta here as you've done in the past. Over.

Okay. I was kind of holding off on this. We're dumping a little waste water now.

Okay, Vance. We've got quad C and B disabled.

Apollo 13, Houston.

Go ahead.

It may be awhile before your rates are settled down. We're still observing fairly high rates and deadbanding. Over.

Apollo 13, Houston.

Go ahead, Vance.

Okay. We've got about three items. First one is, all of your P23 batch—two marks have been evaluated and—Hey, congratulations. Looks real good; they're very happy with it. You're down to 4 arc-minutes on the substellar-point aspect of it, and that's the first thing to mention. The second is, unless you see a need, I don't see any need for you to read back the information we gave you on the solo book and so forth. Do you concur?

Roger. I think I got it. I remembered a lot of it, and so I think with what you gave me and what I remember, I'm pretty sure we got it right.

Okay, and the third item, I was just about to call that your rates were stabilized to start the PTC, but it looks like they're jiggling around again from a dump, so we'll stand by some more.

No secrets around here.

Say again. Hey, that's right.

I said there's no secrets around here.

Yes. Big Brother is watching.

13 —

I can just see EECOM telling FIDO.

Yes. You really have to watch that pair, all right. By the way, we have a maneuver pad for you, a fly-by pad, whenever you're ready to copy.

Okay. Stand by.

Go ahead, Vance.

Our pad as follows: fly-by, SPS/G&N; 63385; plus 0.97, minus 0.23; 072:24:33.08; plus 0212.7, minus 0141.7, minus 0254.8; 148, 316, 050; NA, plus 0022.5; 0360.9, 0:53, 0356.3; 33, 352.7, 15.0; NA, NA, NA; minus 23.26, minus 165.00; 1147.7, 36172; 166:54:02; set stars 31, 23; roll is 288, pitch 205, yaw 034; no ullage; SPS docked; and LM weight, 33499.

Roger. That's correct. Want to verify under NOUN 81 that DELTA-V_X is plus 02127. You cut out right there.

Roger. DELTA-V_X is 02127.

Roger. And your rates are low. Looks like you can start the PTC.

Okay. In work.

Okay. And when the computer is available, request P00 and ACCEPT and we'll ship you your state vector.
