- Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Just expect that same CAUTION AND WARNING to come on again. And you want us to keep warning you of that thing?
- Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Jim. Just expect a CAUTION AND WARNING to come on the same as it did about an hour ago.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. Read you good now. Seems like we've had a little trouble with the COMM today.
- Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Yes. I guess it's partly because you are further out. We just wanted to tell you that you were going to get that CAUTION WARNING that you just got.
- Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
And I won't bother you with those calls anymore, unless you especially want them.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
That's okay, Vance. You don't have to call us about that, unless it's something serious.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Right, we're not doing anything right now, Vance, we're just getting curious, we could start the LM entry procedures, and get everything squared away, and then when the TV comes up at 55 hours, we can just use it for the TV, and we wouldn't be worrying about checking out the SHe tank pressures and everything like that.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Also, Houston, Apollo 13. We'd like to move up the waste water dump and maybe the O2 fuel cell purge a little bit early, if we could.
- Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Jim, you're clear to go on into the LM, and just advise though that the TV time is still fixed at 55 hours, and—so we'll be standing by to support your entry and we'll get back with you on a minute—in a minute on the O2 fuel cell purge and the waste water dump.
- Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
And also request your LM/CM DELTA-P which was on the flight plan for 53 hours. What did you vent it down to? Over.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
We'd like another confirmation, when we closed the tunnel vent valve back to LM/CM DELTA-P, we were reading about 1.7—1.75, and it slowly went up now to about—oh, I'd say a little less than 2.2. Seems to be holding there—Is there a lag in the gaging system?
Expand selection up Contract selection down Close - CapCom
-
Okay, to answer your question, Jim, that increase in pressure is normal, because it was just tracking an increase in cabin pressure.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
We're not thinking today.
Expand selection down Contract selection up - CapCom
-
And, 13, from Houston, it's okay with us if you want to move the O2 fuel cell purge and the water dump up to this time. Over.
- CapCom
-
Jim, recommend you stay in the PTC until we stop it for the TV at 55 hours, in case you were thinking of —
- CapCom
-
Okay. The only comment that we just made was that, in case you were thinking of stopping PTC, there's no need to stop it until 55 GET when TV starts.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, Houston, the LM/CM DELTA-P is constant. We're going to go ahead with hatch removal.
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Houston, we want to take the FM and bring up TV here for our own use. Then we'll go to TRANSMIT 1—at 55 hours.
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Houston, we've transferred to LM power; the time was 54 hours 46 minutes 15 seconds.
