Spacelog Apollo 13

Omit the VHF.

— … Jack. It's got—Okay.

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.

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

Discontinue the charge on battery A, Jack.

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

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

Okay.

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

Okay.

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

Okay. Ready to copy, Jack.

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.

Roger. Panel 11, close LGC circuit breaker. Activation 25, do steps 1, 2, 3, and then do complete Activation 30. Is that correct?

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

And in the LM, let's go to panel 11 and close the SUIT FAN circuit breaker and get suit fan 1 cranked up.

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

That's affirm.

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

Okay. Pull the BYPASS; GLYCOL PUMP going off.

Roger.

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.

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

That's affirm.

Fuel cell 2 pump going off now.

Jack, leave them both on in tank 1.

Okay.

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

Okay.

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.

Okay.

How you going there? Activation 12, step 3.

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

Aquarius, Houston. Say again, please.

Okay. I was just making a COMM check here. I'm on high voltage taps.

Roger. We see them, Fred, and I'm reading you loud and clear.

Okay. Didn't think I'd be back this soon.

Okay. What next, James? Coarse aline?

Do it right. Take your time.

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.

Okay. You want to go on 31 through step number 7, Jack.

That's affirmative. And, Odyssey, we've got another configuration for you. All 16 RCS AUTO SELECT OFF. All RCS heaters off. Over.

Okay. I can verify all heaters off. Jack, I've got to keep a fairly minimum deadband until I get through this coarse aline.

Roger.

Okay. VERB 41, NOUN 20. Okay. You want plus? Plus or minus? Plus 302.43? Is that right?

Okay. Let me enter it. Okay. What's the next one? Plus 347.78. 347.78. Okay. 081.3. Is that right? ENTER. Okay.

Odyssey, Houston —

…

— your battery A on.

Battery A on now.

Go ahead, Aquarius.

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.

Okay, Jim. We copy the roll CAL at minus 2.0. The command module is 355.57, 167.78, 351.87.

Okay. VERB 41, we've done that. Okay.

Aquarius, Houston. Request high bit rate, please.

You want high bit rate?

That's affirmative, Fred. Won't cost us anything.

Odyssey, Houston. We'd like you to, on your COMM configuration, go to PRIMARY POWER AMP OFF, LOW BIT RATE, and DOWNVOICE BACKUP. Over.

And, Aquarius, we need your SUIT GAS DIVERTER to CABIN.

All right. You got it.

Houston. I've gone to PRIMARY POWER AMPLIFIER, OFF, LOW BIT RATE, DOWNVOICE BACKUP.

Okay, Jack. Thank you. And, Aquarius, your arithmetic looks good on the coarse aline, there.

Okay. Okay stand by for an ENTER.

Three -

Get the GET; we need the GET. What is it? What's that? 58? 58:07?

58 what?

Houston, Aquarius.
