Spacelog Apollo 13

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.

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 —

It's OPEN.

Open the TEMP/PRESS DISPLAY-FLAGS and PQGS/DISPLAYS.

Okay. They're both OPEN.

Okay, Fred. On row 3 under COMM, open DISPLAYS and under ECS, open DISPLAYS.

Okay. COMM DISPLAYS, ECS DISPLAYS, both OPEN.

Okay. And two more. In row 4 under HEATERS, open DISPLAYS and under EPS, open DISPLAYS.

Okay. HEATERS DISPLAY, EPS DISPLAY OPEN. And I've long since had all the lights off, floods, et cetera.

Where are those bags? Where are those bags for weighing water in the PLSS?

Why?

We're going to fill up command module water. We'll …

Hell, do you need a QD … Jim. No way to get ours in there. I don't think.

Hey, Jim.

I wonder if one of our water … jet is. Okay, let's control—What else can we fill up there?

Aquarius, Houston.

We're not—we're not going to —

We're not going to be able to up link your time because of the IU, and we have a frequency problem there. But what I'd like to do is give you a time to set up on your mission timer and give you a mark and then you can put it into the DSKY from there. Over.

Okay. Stand by.

Wait a minute. Why do we need a mission timer right now, anyway? I mean, that bad, they'd tell us.

Well, I'd rather have a timer going so that we—what are we going to put in the DSKY? Should we shut down the mission timer?

Is that what you want to do?

Yes. Hey, OMNI.

Great.

Switch them. Okay. Let's fire on the mission timer.
