Spacelog Apollo 13

And, also the SYSTEM ENGINEER X- POINTER breaker.

Roger. Negative on the PQGS. Negative on the ASCENT HELIUM REG, and negative on the CROSS-POINTER.

Okay. On the second row, I'm going to leave the FLOODLIGHT breaker open.

Concur.

And we're again up to—Do you want the CWEA enabled?

Negative on the CWEA.

Okay.

Okay. Since we're—are we going to power up the AGS or should I concern myself with the ATCA breaker?

Negative on the AGS. However, Fred, we need the ATCA breaker in.

Okay. ATCA breakers IN. Yes. I guess for the backup power supply. Hey, how about ATCA AGS.

Negative on ATCA AGS.

And I'm leaving the SUIT FLOW CONTROL breaker open.

Let's close the SUIT FLOW CONTROL breaker —

And, now …

— so it doesn't take any current.

Okay. Without suits, it doesn't do us much good either though.

Okay. And are we going to continue to be able to operate off the OMNIs, Jack. So can I leave the S-band antenna powered down?

Okay, Fred-o. We don't plan to use the steerable antenna, although we want to leave the heaters on. So it looks you ought to open up COMM S-BAND ANTENNA, but leave S-BAND ANTENNA HEATERS closed.

Roger. COMM S-BAND is OPEN, S-BAND HEATER breaker is still CLOSED.

And, on the bottom row, Jack, I'm going to leave the HEATER DISPLAY breaker out, which we had pulled before, and EPS DISPLAY. But I question, do we want the ASCENT ECA breaker in, as prescribed?

Stand by. That's a negative on the ASCENT ECA breaker. Leave it open.

And, Aquarius, we need P00 and DATA —

And that's a —

— and we'll give you state vector and target load.

Okay. We need the UP LINK breaker in then now.

That's affirmative.

Okay. And, Jack, will you give us that—how about the ORDEAL breaker? Can I pull that? We don't need that, do we?

Negative on the ORDEAL. Leave it open.

And how about the ASCENT ECA breaker on panel 11? Jim has it in over there.

And panel 11 ASCENT ECA can be open.

It's open.

Okay, Aquarius. We're GO on the circuit breaker configuration as you have it now.

Roger.

And, Aquarius, tests in the simulator just showed that if you want to let the PGNS DAP hold your attitude for you, it will.

Okay, very well.

And, Jack, because it will take quite a while to get back to the attitude, I think we ought to think about going there very shortly.

Roger. I have a pad for you. I have a P30 maneuver pad.

Roger. Stand by.

… —

Go right ahead, Jack.

Okay. We want you to hold your maneuver until we finish making the load. We haven't completed it yet. Are you ready to copy P30 maneuver pad?

That's affirm.

Okay. Here we go. The purpose is midcourse correction for free return. NOUN 33: 061:29:42.84; minus 0021.3, plus 0004.1, minus 0031.2; HA and HP are NA; DELTA-V 0038.0; 031, 120, 298, minus 00213, plus 00041, minus 00312; COAS NA. And I have your LM GDA angles. Pitch 5.86, roll 6.75. Your DPS throttling, 5 seconds at 10 percent, burn the rest at 40 percent. Your ullage will be two jets for 10 seconds.

Okay, Jack, we have a P30 maneuver pad, a midcourse for free return. NOUN 33: 061:29:42.84; minus 0021.3, plus 004.1, minus 0031.2; HA and HP N/A; DELTA-V_R 0038.0; 031, 120, 298; minus 00213, plus 00041, minus 00312. COAS N/A; GDA angles; pitch 5.86, roll 6.75; DPS throttle 5 seconds at 10 percent; burn the rest at 40 percent. And we need a two-jet, 10-second ullage.

We've—Okay, we've also completed, I guess in essence, all of page 8.

That's affirmative and page 9 to boot. Scratch VHF. We've done the T_ephems.

Okay. You've updated it, that's right. We cranked in the time.

And, Houston, let's go to activation—or get into page 10 and see what we did there.

Okay. The only item on page 10 is to deploy the landing gear.

Okay, we'll do that now.

Okay. The landing gear are down and locked, Jack, and looking ahead now at page 11, we've done all of that.

We verify that. Page 12.

Okay, and I assume in amongst all those numbers you pumped up, we got a REFSMMAT and STATE VECTOR, is that correct?

That's affirmative. You've got that. So you can delete page 12.

Hey, on 13, you've read us up the fine aline angles and we've cranked those in.

Affirmative.

Okay, so now we're up to—we've got to do DAP set, the gimbal/throttle test.

That's—Okay, Aquarius. We recommend omitting the DAP set, gimbal/throttle test—just make sure the gim—DECA POWER and DECA GIMBAL circuit breakers are closed.

Okay, we're going to proceed now with the DAP set, gimbal/throttle test, is that correct? Or did you say delete it?

Aquarius, delete the DAP set, gimbal/throttle test. Just ensure that the DECA POWER and the DECA GIMBAL are closed.

Okay. Houston, DECA POWER is OPEN at this time. Do you want me to close it?

Affirmative, Jim. Close the DECA POWER.

It's CLOSED. We deleted that.

Okay. Also out of that list, Jack, we need the COMMANDER's THROTTLE set to THROTTLE and MIN.

Houston, if I recall the launch set of the gimbals, the GDAs are not correct here, and where are we going to get those set for the burn?

Stand by 1.

Okay. Here's the word on the DAP set, gimbal/ throttle test. Let's do step 1 and step 2, and that'll get our gimbal set.

Roger.

Okay, Jack, we're going to have to back up on this, if we're going to follow the procedure here, which has us go MODE CONTROL; PGNS, AUTO, we're going to have to pull the TCA breakers to keep from firing jets.

Stand by, Fred.

Stand by on step 1, Fred. We're getting the word for you. How do you like this SIM?

It's a beauty.

Okay, Aquarius, we recommend you do the DAP set and gimbal/throttle test as per the checklist. Go PGNS AUTO and proceed.

Well, we're going to fire our thrusters as soon as we go to AUTO because we've got those thrusters in—the thruster circuit breakers. Do you want us to do that and stop?

Okay, Aquarius, we're recommending you go to AUTO. Let the thrusters fire and settle down and proceed with the test.

We're in PGNS AUTO.

Roger, your DAP is set, you're in wide deadband. That ought to do the trick.

Roger.

Okay, we're looking at it, Aquarius. We're ready to proceed with the test.

Okay, we're proceeding.

Okay, and Houston, you—you're looking at the weights now. Those are still good, right?

You're GO on the weights.

Okay, Aquarius. We're looking at your gimbal and we notice that we got a four-jet ullage loaded in the DAP and we gave you two jets on the pad. But, let's go with what we've got loaded. It'll be a four-jet ullage.

Okay.

Okay, Houston. How does the GDAs look now?

The GDAs are GO as they are. Press on.

Okay, Houston, we're going to do the DPS pressurization and checkout.

Stand by 1.

Okay, your gimbals are within 0.3 and we're ready for the DPS pressurization and checkout.
