Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

That's affirmative, Jim.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Activation 11, omit step 1, do the rest. Is that correct?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Do Activation 12 and Activation 13, step 1.

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?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Stand by, Jack. We'll get the word on that.

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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Jack, was that Activation 1, step 3 only, or all of Activation 1?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

That's go all the way down to step 3, Jim.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Activation 1 to step 3. Roger.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Houston, Apollo 13. Never mind.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Oh, we were curious about Activation 11 on the VHF.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

— … Jack. It's got—Okay.

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.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

All right. Real good. Right now, we're charging battery A. Do you want to discontinue that?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Discontinue the charge on battery A, Jack.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay, Jack. I discontinued charge on battery A. You give me the call and I'll turn BUS TIE AC on.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Roger. And we want you to keep the lights up and the IMU on.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

And, Jack, we'd like you to leave the COMM configuration as is until we get COMM with the LM.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

And, 13, this is Houston. I've got another procedure for the LM. A short one.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. Ready to copy, Jack.

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.

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?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

That's affirmative. On panel 11, LGC DSKY circuit breaker closed.

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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. Panel 11, close SUIT FAN circuit breaker, and we'll get the suit fan cranked up.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

And, Jack, in the CSM, go to BYPASS on the radiators and turn your GLYCOL PUMP off.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. Pull the BYPASS; GLYCOL PUMP going off.

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.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. Tank 2 fans going off. Okay. That leaves me with tank 1 fans on the tank 1 heaters on.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Fuel cell 2 pump going off now.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Jack, leave them both on in tank 1.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

13, Houston. We've got AOS on the LM here.

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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

How you going there? Activation 12, step 3.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. And, Jack, how do you read from Aquarius?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Say again, please.
