Spacelog Apollo 13

Okay, Houston, do you want to follow up on page 15 with RCS checkout? In essence, we've kind of already done that.

You're right, Aquarius. Let's delete the RCS checkout. And a DPS looks GO.

Houston, we're going to do a PGNS AUTO maneuver to the attitude.

Stand by on that. Aquarius, we recommend driving it around there manually with a TTCA.

We're going to AUTO now, Houston, to try to damp the rates. We're at the attitude.

Roger, Jim. We verify the attitude.

And, Houston, we'd like to confirm, do you want the VERB 65 ENTER in there?

Affirmative on the VERB 65.

Okay.

Okay, Jack. I got another question on page 18. At 1 minute, I concur with MASTER ARM ON, but I wonder why I have to have the ABORT STAGE breaker in. We sure don't want any staging now.

Aquarius, delete the ABORT STAGE circuit breaker CLOSE. Leave it open.

Roger. Will delete.

Okay. Also, Jack, since we have four-jet ullage versus two, do you want—still want 10 seconds ullage or do you want 5 now?

Okay, Aquarius, we'll use automatic ullage.

Okay. We'll just let the 7-1/2-second AUTO ullage do it.

Roger, and we'd like to do this in manual throttle, so on page 17 about two-thirds of the way down, THROTTLE CONTROL, MANUAL, vice AUTO.

Okay. We're set to MANUAL.

What's the 203 … ?

ENTER on the 203, Jim.

We've got 203 in the DSKY now and it looks as though it requires work, can we pass it?

Aquarius, ENTER on the 203.

Wait a minute.

Aquarius, we'd like to verify that your throttle is in the MIN position.

That's affirm.

And, in the event that you have to do a manual takeover, turn the ENGINE GIMBAL OFF, MODE CONTROL to ATTITUDE HOLD, and use the hand—use the TTCA.

That's affirmative. No trim required.

Roger.

Okay.

Aquarius, check your MASTER ARM OFF, please.

Okay, Houston. Burn's complete. Now we have to talk about powerdown, and what do you want us to do with the PGNS?

Roger. We're looking at that right now, and you'll be the first one to get the word.

And, Houston, it's doubtful right now whether we'll be able to see the stars in this configuration. The only way we could possibly get alinement is with the Earth and the terminator or the Moon and its terminator and I'd sure like to have you look at a powerdown—keeping the PGNS if at all possible.

Roger, Jim. We'll get the word for you.

And, Houston, we're in an ATT HOLD mode, can we turn off the buses?

Okay, Aquarius. We're working on what's going to happen next. In the meantime, we'd like to take some high-power items off the line, so on panel 11, open DECA POWER, and open DECA GIMBAL. On 16, open the ATCA breaker.

Okay, on 11, we got DECA POWER, DECA GIMBAL, OPEN. On 16, we got the ATCA breaker OPEN.
