Spacelog Apollo 13

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.

Here are the gimbal angles. Command module, 356.69, 163.42, 346.67. Aquarius is 302.26, 345.92, 011.79. Over.

Okay, Jim. I got command module 356.65, 163.42, 346.67. Aquarius, 302.26, 345.92, 011.78.

That's 011.79.

Say again, please.

The LM middle gimbal is 011.79.

011.79. Got it.

Houston. … flashing.

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.

Yes.

Odyssey, Houston.

Ask him if he's …

Yes.

Are you …?

Yes.

Houston, this is Odyssey. Go ahead.

Okay, Jim —
