Spacelog Apollo 13

Aquarius, we need FORWARD OMNI.

FORWARD OMNI.

Say again, Jack.

FORWARD OMNI.

I am. Okay, Houston. If that call was an OMNI switch, I'm in FORWARD now.

Okay, Fred-o, how do I get the mission timer up? I got the mission timer cranked in.

You got it on?

I got the mission timer circuit breaker in.

Okay. We're going to probably need NUMERICS LIGHTING. There you go. You got it.

Aquarius, Houston. I think we've got a better way of getting your mission time up.

Go ahead with it.

Okay. We can do a VERB 55, ENTER, and then put an R₁, minus 00088. In R₂, minus 00059; R₃ minus 03274.

Watch the crapping attitude.

We're okay.

God damn. I wish you'd get to something I know.

Well, as soon as we get over here, we'll stop it with the TTCA.

Okay.

And, Aquarius; Houston. We've got you both on VOX.

Like to go what?

You want us on VOX, Jack?

We have you on VOX. We're reading you loud and clear and the clock took good.

Okay. Looks like we're on the FDA route there, Jack.

Okay, Jack. How do you read me on NORMAL VOICE now?

Reading you 5 square, Fred.

Okay.

And, Aquarius, we're ready for a VERB 74 when you can give it to us.

You got it.

Okay. And one other thing we noticed. When you pressurized the RCS, we got an increase in pressure in the ascent tanks, and so we want to have you verify that the ascent feeds are closed. In order to do that, on panel 11, close the ASCENT FEED 1 and 2 circuit breakers on—and cycle the Parker valves, and then open the ASCENT FEED circuit breakers on panel 11.

Completed, Houston.

And, Jack, Aquarius. What kind of return time is this maneuver given?

That puts you back in the water at 133 hours.

133, hey.

Affirm.

Atlantic landing?

Affirmative. That's the pad that we've given you, but we may change our mind later on. We want you to have this info for now. And that's a minimum —

Okay.

— minimum time return.

Aquarius, Houston. We've got to change the REFSMMAT to the one to which you're alined. So we'd like to have P00 and DATA and we'll ship that up to you.

Roger.

Okay, you got it, Jack.

Roger. Coming up.

Aquarius, could you give us DATA please?

Okay, Jack, you got it.

— the updata link, the DUA breaker may not be in, Jack.

Okay, Fred, and close the DUA breaker.

It's in now, Jack.

Aquarius, Houston. We're finished with the uplink. The computer's yours. We'd like to power down the DUA, so pull the DUA circuit breaker please.
