Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Roger. And, Fred-o, get the TCA breakers in last. Please.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Roger, Jim. I'm holding open those until you give me a further word anyway. I'm just going to pressurize right now.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Jack, are you reading LM gimbal angles?

Jack Swigert (CMP)

— … power off, come down here and … the audio …

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, Aquarius. I have some gyro torquing angles and the Odyssey is powered down, attitude-control-wise, so LM's got attitude control now.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay. We want you to know that we got some gyro torquing angles for you. And we want you to tell us when you got attitude control in the LM.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. We're still working on the pressurization. I'm getting Jim on the horn here so he can help out, there.

Fred Haise (LMP)

We got to get this pressurized.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Stand by 1, Aquarius, Odyssey. We'd like you to go DIRECT RCS and hold your present attitude out the window until the LM gets RCS powered up. Go ahead, Jim.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Well, that's my question. We're not—Our 16 20 doesn't match our eight-ball here. We went to FDAIs ON, and we don't have our balls completely powered up. There may be a … and our angles don't look the same and we don't want to go into gimbal lock.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Roger. How far are you from RCS power up—RCS pressurization?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, Jack. I'm right up to where it's MASTER ARM, ON; RCS, FIRE; —

Multiple speakers

Fred Haise (LMP)

— both LOGIC POWERs out … goes into normal circuit-breaker. … Do you want A in and then I'll fire them?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, 13. You're both talking at once. One at a time, please.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Close LOGIC POWER A and B, Fred, and pressurize RCS.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. I'm going to try to do the best I can. I've got a one-attitude reference I'm going to fly according to the lunar terminator.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Roger, Jack. Just maintain attitude.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

What am I doing? I can't do that, anyway. Let's see, cross feed. Nope. Now, and -

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. We'll have to get some AC up so you can get a ball reading. Close your BUS TIE INVERTER circuit breakers, all four of them on panel 11. Close your AC BUS VOLT circuit breaker on panel 11. On panel 16, INVERTER 2, CLOSE. Select inverter 2. Over.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

That's been completed, Jack.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. The RCS is pressurized now.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, Jack. Do you want us to proceed right on down the line with the RCS check-out and Activation 37 now?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Hell, is he still firing up there?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, Fred. Negative on the activation on page 37. Go on to your RCS pressurize and then get your TCA breakers in and go to PGNS attitude hold.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, Jack. How do you read?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, Jim. This is Houston. We want you to load the DAP with 30120.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Load the DAP with 30120. Complete.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. We need to change that CSM weight.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, Aquarius. Your CSM weight is 63400.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

And Jack's alive to take control the LM to stay away from gimbal lock. Over.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Affirmative. Take control of the LM. PGNS ATTITUDE HOLD.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

And, Odyssey, request you coordinate with Aquarius on attitude control.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. I don't see where you're firing these things …

Unidentified crew member

Oh?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Are you firing anything?
