Fred Haise (LMP)

Where would you like …?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

We don't want to lose COMM with him.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Stand by on opening your circuit breakers for displays. We're going to let you know what they are, and I have some gyro torquing angles for you.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. What page is that there gyro torquing?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. What page is the, do we write the gyro torquing angles on there, Jack?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. We're there now, Jim. Jim's got it. Go ahead with the gyro torquing angles.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay. We'd like you to proceed with the fine aline and your gyro torquing angles are X plus 003.30, Y plus 024.80, Z minus 015.10. Over.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. I read your gyro torquing angles as plus 003.30, Y is plus 023, I only have four numbers for Y; you'll have to give that one to me again, and Z is minus 015.10. Read Y again, please.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, Jim. X and Z are correct and Y is plus 024.80.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. We read Y as plus 024.80. We'll proceed on Activation 40 to fine aline the platform.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Roger. Okay, Aquarius, proceed as on page 40 with IMU fine aline.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Can you see any stars out the LM window?

Fred Haise (LMP)

We'll have to wipe them off, Jack. They're coated with water right now.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Roger. As soon as you get a chance to—on your position—to take a look, we'd like to know if you can see stars for alinement purposes.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. Jim's going to be in trouble in our present attitude out his side. The Sun's there.

Fred Haise (LMP)

What have you got? How much you got left in battery A? Okay. I wish I knew what the hell they were thinking right now … —

Jim Lovell (CDR)

They're talking about powering down and doing a P51 here?

Fred Haise (LMP)

No. They were just thinking about P52

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Negative on the P51. We want to stay just like we are, but we'd like to be able to correlate what you're doing with some simulator work we're going to crank up. And so if you can give us information as to what stars you can see out the window, we can make that correlation.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Would you say one more time? Give me the top two. The top two.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Jim, what we want you to do is go with your current fine aline and disregard the P51. What we're attempting to do is to crank up some LMS simulations to correlate what we can get out your window with what we can get out the LMS window to see if that will help us any. So when you can see some stars, if you can, you think you can recognize them and recognize constellations, please let us know.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. We'll check. Stand by.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. Here, unplug this.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. We notice that the O2 pressure in the ASCENT TANK O2 is a little high, so we want to use some of it. So close DESCENT O2 and open ASCENT O2, tank 2. Over.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, Jack. Switch now on ASCENT number 2 O2 tank, DESCENT O2 is closed.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, Houston; Aquarius. How do you read?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Reading you 5 square, Jim. Go ahead.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. I'm looking out of Fred's window. I see a lot of particles out there, but a lot of that stuff is still drifting away from us, so a lot of it is flashing in the local vicinity, and I don't recognize any constellations right now, in this particular attitude.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, Jim. If that status changes, please let us know.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Roger. We're continuing to drift. Okay, get your TTCAs to roll.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

And, Aquarius; Houston. I've got some circuit breakers you can open to power down displays. In addition, I have a P30 maneuver pad. Over.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Roger. Stand by, Houston. Get the CS—get the pad book.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Get the LM data—get the LM book.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

And, say—We're getting the pad book now, Jack—and say the boost on powered up?
