Spacelog Apollo 13

Copy it down.

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.

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.

Odyssey, Houston.

They can stand it—Go ahead?

Yes, Jack. Did you copy down about the CMC IMU?

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.

That's affirm. Thank you.

Okay. I just got a MASTER ALARM and MAIN BUS A UNDERVOLT. And I'm starting to power down, now. —

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.

Oh boy.

Odyssey, Houston. Couple circuit breakers for you. On panel 276, on our INSTRUMENTATION POWER CONTROL, open CB number 3 and number 4.

Okay, Houston. Panel 276, INSTRUMENTATION out and reset —

— a lot of light.

— CB-3 and CB-4 are open.

What?

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.

Okay. Well, wait a second. Let me—Let me get the CMC power down.

Roger, Jack.

I wonder how much that's going to bring this up, here.

Jack, while he's doing that, copy down what you just said again. I want to write it down.

Aquarius, we need to get your sublimator powered up, Activation page 20 and Activation page 21, step 3. Over.

Roger. Activation page 20 and Activation page 21, step 3, sublimator.

Roger.

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?

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.

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?

Stand by.

Houston, he's going to give a 16 NOUN 20, Jack. And, okay, I've got O₂ heaters and fans off in tank 1.

And, Jack, let me know if you get close to gimbal lock, would you?

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.

Jack, they haven't powered down —

Jack, we don't have the balls powered up in the LM.

I have the CMC and IMU in the command module is powered down. The heaters are out.

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.

Okay, Jack. Will you say again the SCS items you wanted me to power down?

Okay, Houston. Do you read Odyssey?

Hello, Houston. How do you read?
