Ken Mattingly

Yes, sir. Understand you have a question.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Does that refer to the pages?

Ken Mattingly

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.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. I got it. Thank you.

Ken Mattingly

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

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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

Ken Mattingly

How long you willing to wait?

Ken Mattingly

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

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. FIDO says he knew it all along. He's—he says he's been very concerned that you've been doing a lot of water dumping.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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?

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Say again. Hey, that's right.

Fred Haise (LMP)

I said there's no secrets around here.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Yes. Big Brother is watching.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

I can just see EECOM telling FIDO.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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, maneuver pad, purpose: 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. Starting with latitude, minus 23.26, minus 165.00; 1147.7, 36172; 166:54:02. Comments, GDC aline stars are 31, Arcturus; and 23, Denebola. R aline 288, pitch aline 205, yaw aline 034; ullage, none; other, burn is SPS docked. LM weight, 33499. Over.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Roger. DELTA-VX is 02127.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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