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.

What was that for?

Pitch and yaw, maybe, huh?

Okay, what was the last two things you gave me, a pitch and roll angle for what?

That's for your DPS trim.

Those were gimbal angles for—pitch and yaw.

Oh, Roger. GDAs.

Yes, that's what I mean. Sorry.

Pericynthion plus 2—Okay, DPS pericynthion plus 2, at 079:25:026.48; plus 1633.0, minus 0014.5, minus 0751.5; HA N slash A, HP plus 0020.5; 1797.7, 8:35, 268, 264, plus 16410, minus 00145, minus 07338 —

Did we lose the water in the —

— N slash A in the COAS, and you gave me GDA angles of pitch 5.86, and you want roll 6.75.

Good readback, Fred.

Yes, lose—get all the little bags you can with water.

Aquarius, Houston. Say again, please.

Okay. We didn't answer back there, Jack. Check to see if you're on VOX.

No.

Neither am I, okay. Why the hell are we maneuvering at all now? Are we still venting?

Well, we're at ATT HOLD for one thing—I mean, we're at MINIMUM IMPULSE.

No, I mean why can't you null them out, somewhere?

Every time I try to—I can't take that doggone roll out. I got to wait until they get around to the bellyband.

Wait a minute. Do you—you fight roll by using the TTCA left right. That's what you need to play with.

Okay. We'll try that. Let me get around though. Let's roll. Let it roll all the way.

Yes, you can't let it roll all the way.

I know. I know. But I mean -

Okay. Then until it's upside down at least, huh?

Yes.

Okay. Well, should I ask him what the return time on that one is? Or are you interested?

Let's get the first things first.

Oh, you don't want to hear. Let me figure some times out here. That's at 79, and what are we at now? About—do we—do we—do we even know any better computer time, do we?

No.

Hey, Jack. Do you still have a mission timer? You don't? Okay.

I'll tell you what. Let's ask—let's ask Houston to give us a mission timer, computer time. They can up link it to us. Okay, hold it.

Go ahead.

Houston, Aquarius.

Go ahead, Aquarius.

You know, we don't have a—I don't think we have a computer clock going, and why don't you up link that stuff to us?

Roger.

And, Fred-o, I got some fast circuit breakers on panel 16 for you.

Okay. Go ahead.

Okay. On row 1 under FLIGHT DISPLAYS, SYSTEMS ENGINEER's CROSSPOINTER, OPEN. Under RCS B —
