02 09 26 40
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. We'd like to charge battery A now.
02 09 26 46
Jim Lovell (CDR): Charge battery A. Roger.
02 09 27 13
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Jack, in regard to your question about the P52 and LM platform, it's—There's no need to worry about that now. We wouldn't be using the LM platform for—until about 79 hours, so let's go as is on the platform for now. Over.
02 09 27 30
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. We understand.
02 09 27 37
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack.
02 09 30 13
Jack Swigert (CMP): And, Jack, we've turned off the waste dump heater. If you're going to consider dumping any more waste water, we probably ought to do it while the duct is warm there.
02 09 30 30
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. Stand by, Jack.
02 09 30 34
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 30 38
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack. Let's keep the water; no need for a dump right now.
02 09 30 44
Jack Swigert (CMP): All right.
02 09 32 15
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We see the PROP ISOL valve on RCS quad Charlie closed, so we'd like to also disable AUTO RCS feature in quad Charlie.
02 09 32 30
Jim Lovell (CDR): You want to isolate the AUTO RCS features in quad Charlie?
02 09 32 33
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Affirmative.
02 09 32 44
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Jack. I didn't plan to reset that quad Charlie DROP ISOL valve. Do you want me to do that? Okay. We just tried it and quad Alfa and Charlie barber poles are showing.
02 09 33 01
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Stand by, Jim.
02 09 33 03
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. That's the sec—secondary propellant barber poles on Alfa and Charlie.
02 09 34 47
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. It won't do any good to try to power the propellant valves on A and C, so we want you to disable the AUTO on RCS Charlie. And we have a procedure for getting power from the LM we'd like you to copy down.
02 09 35 08
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 35 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): Stand by, Jack.
02 09 35 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): That sounds like good news.
02 09 36 05
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Jack. About how long is it?
02 09 36 12
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): It's not a very long procedure, Fred. We figure we've got about 15 minutes' worth of power left in the command module, so we want you to start getting over in the LM and getting some power on that. And, you ready to copy your procedure?
02 09 36 27
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
02 09 36 29
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. In the CSM.
02 09 36 30
Fred Haise (LMP): Stand by.
02 09 36 40
Fred Haise (LMP): Go ahead.
02 09 36 41
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. In the CSM on panel 5, circuit breakers LM POWER 1 and 2, OPEN. Then LM POWER switch, reset and release. In the LM, on panel 11 and panel 16, TRANSLUNAR BUS TIE. Both circuit breakers CLOSE. On panel 16, circuit breaker ASCENT ECA CONTROL, CLOSE. On 16, DESCENT ECA CONTROL, CLOSE. On panel 14, put your BAT 5 NORMAL feed ON. BATs 1, 2, 3, and 4 LOW VOLTAGE taps, ON. BAT 5 NORMAL feed, OFF. ASCENT ECA CONTROL, OPEN. You copy?
02 09 38 08
Fred Haise (LMP): Stand by 1.
02 09 38 24
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. In the CSM, on panel 5, we want CB LM POWER 1 and 2, OPEN. Then the LM POWER switch to reset, release. In the LM, panels 11 and 16, X LUNAR BUS TIE breakers closed. On panel 16, the ASCENT ECA CONTROL closed; the DESCENT ECA CONTROL closed. On panel 14, BAT 5 NORMAL feed ON, followed by BATS 1, 2, 3, and 4 LOW VOLTAGE taps ON. Then BAT 5 NORMAL feed OFF. Then ASCENT ECA CONTROL breaker OPEN.
02 09 38 58
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's a good readback, Fred.
02 09 39 14
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, 13, Houston. As a final effort here, we would like you to turn on the fans in tank 2. Over.
02 09 39 23
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. Understand. Turn on the fans in tank 2.
02 09 39 34
Jim Lovell (CDR): You want the O₂ fans in tank 2, Jack?
02 09 39 38
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative, Jim.
02 09 39 45
Jim Lovell (CDR): O₂ tanks—fans in tank 2 are on.
02 09 39 48
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 09 41 31
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We'd like you to start making your way over to the LM now.
02 09 41 38
Jack Swigert (CMP): Fred and Jim are in the LM.

02 09 43 03
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Houston. You read 13?
02 09 43 06
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Reading you loud and clear, Jack. I've got a procedure for —
02 09 43 10
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 43 11
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): — the guys in the LM.
02 09 43 15
Fred Haise (LMP): You got another one?
02 09 43 17
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): I have an activation procedure. I'd like you to copy it down.
02 09 43 25
Jim Lovell (CDR): How long is it, Jack?
02 09 43 27
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): It's just four lines. Go to Activation 1, do step 3. Go to Activation 11, omit step 1. Do Activation 12, and then go to Activation 13 and do step 1. Do you copy?
02 09 43 54
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Is that Activation 1? Do step 3. Is that correct?
02 09 43 59
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative, Jim.
02 09 44 03
Jim Lovell (CDR): Activation 11, omit step 1, do the rest. Is that correct?
02 09 44 06
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative.
02 09 44 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): Do Activation 12 and Activation 13, step 1.
02 09 44 14
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's all correct.
02 09 44 25
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. Pressure in tank 1 is approaching 100 psi. What's going to be the symptoms of this fuel cell starting to drop off?
02 09 44 51
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Stand by, Jack. We'll get the word on that.
02 09 44 56
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 45 06
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Jim, when you get to the end of that procedure, we'd also like to have you put the DEMAND REGs to CABIN.
02 09 45 15
Jim Lovell (CDR): DEMAND REGs to CABIN. Roger.
02 09 45 31
Jim Lovell (CDR): Jack, was that Activation 1, step 3 only, or all of Activation 1?
02 09 45 38
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's go all the way down to step 3, Jim.
02 09 45 44
Jim Lovell (CDR): Activation 1 to step 3. Roger.
02 09 46 48
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Apollo 13. Never mind.
02 09 46 54
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, say again, please.
02 09 46 58
Jim Lovell (CDR): Oh, we were curious about Activation 11 on the VHF.
02 09 47 04
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Omit the VHF.
02 09 47 05
Jim Lovell (CDR): — … Jack. It's got—Okay.
02 09 48 17
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Jack, this is Houston. We want you to keep the IMU up and keep the lights on so you can see in there, and leave battery off—battery A off and, at the appropriate time, we'll put it on MAIN A. And we're going to keep the IMU up so's we can get a coarse aline in the LM.
02 09 48 38
Jack Swigert (CMP): All right. Real good. Right now, we're charging battery A. Do you want to discontinue that?
02 09 48 46
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Discontinue the charge on battery A, Jack.
02 09 49 22
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. I discontinued charge on battery A. You give me the call and I'll turn BUS TIE AC on.
02 09 49 32
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. And we want you to keep the lights up and the IMU on.
02 09 49 38
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 49 48
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Jack, we'd like you to leave the COMM configuration as is until we get COMM with the LM.
02 09 49 57
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 50 08
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, 13, this is Houston. I've got another procedure for the LM. A short one.
02 09 51 15
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Ready to copy, Jack.
02 09 51 17
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. On panel 11, we'd like you to close the LGC DSKY circuit breaker. Then we want you to go to Activation 25; do steps 1, 2, and 3. Then go to Activation 30, and that will give us a docked IMU coarse aline. Over.
02 09 51 41
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. Panel 11, close LGC circuit breaker. Activation 25, do steps 1, 2, 3, and then do complete Activation 30. Is that correct?
02 09 51 50
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative. On panel 11, LGC DSKY circuit breaker closed.
02 09 53 15
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And in the LM, let's go to panel 11 and close the SUIT FAN circuit breaker and get suit fan 1 cranked up.
02 09 53 26
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Panel 11, close SUIT FAN circuit breaker, and we'll get the suit fan cranked up.
02 09 53 30
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirm.
02 09 53 47
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Jack, in the CSM, go to BYPASS on the radiators and turn your GLYCOL PUMP off.
02 09 53 56
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Pull the BYPASS; GLYCOL PUMP going off.
02 09 54 04
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 09 55 42
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, 13, in the CSM, we want to verify that all the fuel cell pumps are off, and we want to have you turn off the O₂ fans in the tank 2.
02 09 55 56
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Tank 2 fans going off. Okay. That leaves me with tank 1 fans on the tank 1 heaters on.
02 09 56 08
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirm.
02 09 56 10
Jack Swigert (CMP): Fuel cell 2 pump going off now.
02 09 56 21
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Jack, leave them both on in tank 1.
02 09 56 26
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 57 55
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We've got AOS on the LM here.
02 09 58 01
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 59 23
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, 13, this is Houston. In the LM, we'd like to have 12, step 3, which is get the batteries on high taps. Over.
02 09 59 34
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
02 09 59 41
Jim Lovell (CDR): How you going there? Activation 12, step 3.
02 10 00 18
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. And, Jack, how do you read from Aquarius?
02 10 00 23
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Say again, please.
02 10 00 28
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. I was just making a COMM check here. I'm on high voltage taps.
02 10 00 32
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. We see them, Fred, and I'm reading you loud and clear.
02 10 00 39
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Didn't think I'd be back this soon.
02 10 00 51
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. What next, James? Coarse aline?
02 10 00 57
Jim Lovell (CDR): Do it right. Take your time.
02 10 01 32
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Aquarius, Houston. We'd like you to, on your alinement, can you continue right on through the fine aline Activation 31? Go right on through step 7. Over.
02 10 01 45
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. You want to go on 31 through step number 7, Jack.
02 10 01 50
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative. And, Odyssey, we've got another configuration for you. All 16 RCS AUTO SELECT OFF. All RCS heaters off. Over.
02 10 02 06
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. I can verify all heaters off. Jack, I've got to keep a fairly minimum deadband until I get through this coarse aline.
02 10 02 15
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 10 02 26
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. VERB 41, NOUN 20. Okay. You want plus? Plus or minus? Plus 302.43? Is that right?
02 10 03 12
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Let me enter it. Okay. What's the next one? Plus 347.78. 347.78. Okay. 081.3. Is that right? ENTER. Okay.
02 10 03 53
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Odyssey, Houston —
02 10 03 54

02 10 04 01
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Aquarius.
02 10 04 03
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston. Okay. I want you to doublecheck my arithmetic to make sure we got a good coarse aline. The roll CAL angle was minus 2 degrees. The command module angles were 355.57, 167.78, 351.87.
02 10 04 36
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. We copy the roll CAL at minus 2.0. The command module is 355.57, 167.78, 351.87.
02 10 05 19
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. VERB 41, we've done that. Okay.
02 10 05 27
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Request high bit rate, please.
02 10 05 36
Fred Haise (LMP): You want high bit rate?
02 10 05 38
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative, Fred. Won't cost us anything.
02 10 06 22
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Odyssey, Houston. We'd like you to, on your COMM configuration, go to PRIMARY POWER AMP OFF, LOW BIT RATE, and DOWNVOICE BACKUP. Over.
02 10 06 42
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Aquarius, we need your SUIT GAS DIVERTER to CABIN.
02 10 06 55
Jack Swigert (CMP): All right. You got it.
02 10 07 02
Jack Swigert (CMP): Houston. I've gone to PRIMARY POWER AMPLIFIER, OFF, LOW BIT RATE, DOWNVOICE BACKUP.
02 10 07 11
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack. Thank you. And, Aquarius, your arithmetic looks good on the coarse aline, there.
02 10 07 20
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Okay stand by for an ENTER.
02 10 07 26
Jack Swigert (CMP): Three -
02 10 07 39
Jack Swigert (CMP): Get the GET; we need the GET. What is it? What's that? 58? 58:07?
02 10 08 15
Jack Swigert (CMP): 58 what?
02 10 09 16
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius.
02 10 09 18
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Aquarius.
02 10 09 23
Jim Lovell (CDR): Here are the gimbal angles. Command module, 356.69, 163.42, 346.67. Aquarius is 302.26, 345.92, 011.79. Over.
02 10 09 47
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. I got command module 356.65, 163.42, 346.67. Aquarius, 302.26, 345.92, 011.78.
02 10 10 07
Jim Lovell (CDR): That's 011.79.
02 10 10 11
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Say again, please.
02 10 10 17
Jim Lovell (CDR): The LM middle gimbal is 011.79.
02 10 10 22
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 011.79. Got it.
02 10 12 10
Jack Swigert (CMP): Houston. … flashing.
02 10 12 19
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Odyssey, Houston. We need a command reset on your—on your COMM, and then we'd like you to power down to CMC, power down the IMU, heaters off on the IMU, but leave the battery A on.
02 10 12 43
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes.
02 10 12 58
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Odyssey, Houston.
02 10 13 08
Fred Haise (LMP): Ask him if he's …
02 10 13 10
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes.
02 10 13 11
Fred Haise (LMP): Are you …?
02 10 13 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes.
02 10 13 13
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, this is Odyssey. Go ahead.
02 10 13 16
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim —
02 10 13 18
Jim Lovell (CDR): Copy it down.
02 10 13 20
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. I think I'm reading Jack, now. But what we want him to do is to give us a command reset. And then power down the CMC, power down the IMU, turn the IMU heater off, leave battery A on. Over.
02 10 14 19
Jack Swigert (CMP): That's just about 80—in fact, 82 hours out of the two primary cartridges. That's two guys. 44 is what LC8 got. That would be 88 hours. We got a secondary. You're right. We're listening.
02 10 14 41
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Odyssey, Houston.
02 10 14 43
Jack Swigert (CMP): They can stand it—Go ahead?
02 10 14 47
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Yes, Jack. Did you copy down about the CMC IMU?
02 10 14 52
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes, Jack. I read it back twice to you. Command reset, which I've done. I'm about to power down the IMU, power down the CMC, turn the IMU heaters off, leave BAT A on.

02 10 15 07
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirm. Thank you.
02 10 15 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. I just got a MASTER ALARM and MAIN BUS A UNDERVOLT. And I'm starting to power down, now. —
02 10 15 21
Fred Haise (LMP): We've lost—The only advantage to doing it early; if we can power back—the LM back down. The only advantage doing it early is you can do a big burn now and a midcourse and then power the LM down. Otherwise, we got to keep the LM powered up clear until we get around the Moon. Plus it would be inside on the burn. I just hope the G&N hangs up on—hangs in on this one—I'd sure hate to do that one manual.
02 10 16 05
Jim Lovell (CDR): Oh boy.
02 10 16 06
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Odyssey, Houston. Couple circuit breakers for you. On panel 276, on our INSTRUMENTATION POWER CONTROL, open CB number 3 and number 4.
02 10 16 33
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Houston. Panel 276, INSTRUMENTATION out and reset —
02 10 16 39
Jack Swigert (CMP): — a lot of light.
02 10 16 40
Fred Haise (LMP): — CB-3 and CB-4 are open.
02 10 16 45
Jack Swigert (CMP): What?
02 10 16 47
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative, Odyssey. And also get your SCS electronics package and power off, and your FDAI POWER/GPI off, and your AUTO jet SELECT, all 16 off.
02 10 17 07
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Well, wait a second. Let me—Let me get the CMC power down.
02 10 17 13
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger, Jack.
02 10 17 16
Fred Haise (LMP): I wonder how much that's going to bring this up, here.
02 10 17 28
Jim Lovell (CDR): Jack, while he's doing that, copy down what you just said again. I want to write it down.
02 10 17 36
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, we need to get your sublimator powered up, Activation page 20 and Activation page 21, step 3. Over.
02 10 17 52
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. Activation page 20 and Activation page 21, step 3, sublimator.
02 10 17 58
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 10 18 00
Jack Swigert (CMP): That's Activation, page 20? Okay, Jack. Now I have to power down IMU. I have no control at all. I'm going to turn my 16 jets off, Say again the other things you wanted?
02 10 18 28
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack. We'd like you to turn off your O₂ tank 2 heaters and fans. Correction—tank 1. Turn the fans and heaters off.
02 10 18 41
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. And, Jack, can we turn on the FDAI circuit breakers so we could have a ball to see if we go to gimbal lock or not?
02 10 18 49
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Stand by.
02 10 18 53
Jack Swigert (CMP): Houston, he's going to give a 16 NOUN 20, Jack. And, okay, I've got O₂ heaters and fans off in tank 1.
02 10 19 15
Jim Lovell (CDR): And, Jack, let me know if you get close to gimbal lock, would you?
02 10 19 25
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Jim, we don't want you to power down the ball in the LM. We wanted you to power down the ball in the CSM.
02 10 19 39
Jack Swigert (CMP): Jack, they haven't powered down —
02 10 19 42
Jim Lovell (CDR): Jack, we don't have the balls powered up in the LM.
02 10 19 45
Jack Swigert (CMP): I have the CMC and IMU in the command module is powered down. The heaters are out.
02 10 19 56
Fred Haise (LMP): And the EVAP flow valve, that's open now, and I've undone my suit hoses here and opened up the suit flow valves; so, we got air flowing in the LM now.
02 10 20 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. Will you say again the SCS items you wanted me to power down?
02 10 20 45
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Houston. Do you read Odyssey?
02 10 20 55
Jim Lovell (CDR): Hello, Houston. How do you read?
02 10 21 01
Fred Haise (LMP): His gimbal lock and ours are different, Jim.
02 10 21 09
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. Say again, please. You were cut out.
02 10 21 15
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. Do you want me to proceed by the SCS powerdown checklist? I did not copy the SCS items you wanted me to power down.
02 10 21 32
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Odyssey. We want to go SCS ELECTRONICS POWER, OFF.
02 10 21 39
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. It's done.
02 10 21 41
