Spacelog Apollo 13

Why?

All right, Jack. Hey, what do you need out of here?

… status.

Here.

Now is there any way they can control this thing with the LM on? Fred-o?

What's that?

Looks like I'm cross-coupling here. I might as well -

Yes, you are. TTCA will give you the best controlling warning.

Yes, and I want to get out of this roll. What if I go to —

It doesn't matter where the hell you are. … gimbal lock … my flashlight or any flashlight.

… down and power down …

Well, I'm not doing any good here.

Okay, how do you read now, Jack?

OMNI.

Yes, we're on.

Hello, Houston; Aquarius.

Back on? Yes.

Aquarius, Houston. You're watching the middle gimbal there, aren't you? Go ahead, Aquarius.

Okay. Go ahead with the breakers first, Jack.

Okay. You watching your middle gimbal there?

Tell them we are.

Your attitude is just straight pitch down, Jim. Okay, you're moving away.

Okay, Fred, I've got six circuit breakers for you.

Okay. Go ahead.

Okay, they're all on panel 11. Row 1 under AC BUS B, open HELIUM PQGS for PROPELLANT DISPLAY.

It's OPEN.

On row 2, FLIGHT DISPLAYS, open THRUST, open MISSION TIMER, open RANGE/RANGE RATE, ALTITUDE/ ALTITUDE RATE, and open the AC BUS A RANGE RATE, ALTITUDE/ALTITUDE RATE.

They're OPEN.

Okay. They're all OPEN.

Okay. On row 4, PGNS, SIGNAL STRENGTH DISPLAY.

It's OPEN.

It's OPEN?

Okay. That concludes the powerdown of displays. And I have a P30 pad for you.

Okay. Go ahead.

Okay. The purpose is a pericynthion plus 2 hours DPS abort. NOUN 33: 079:25:26.48; plus 1633.0, minus 0014.5, minus 0751.5; apogee not applicable, perigee is plus 0020.5; 1797.7, 8:35, 268, 264, plus 16410, minus 00145, minus 07338. COAS is NA. And I have two gimbal trim angles for you which will be updated. Right now, however, we want you to go with pitch 5.86, roll 6.75. Over.
