Spacelog Apollo 13

Okay. Because I thought he said 2 degrees per second. Like to check on that.

Okay, Houston; Aquarius.

Go ahead, Fred.

Okay. Jim thinks he heard something different than I copied on the DAP load. Is REGISTER 1 supposed to be 31120?

That's correct, Fred. That was to be 31120.

Okay.

Okay.

And, Houston, how do you want us to …

… 3, 2, C and D, 2, 2, 0, … Okay. We're at high bit rate.

Okay. … give … a call.

Well, they probably don't know what to do there.

Okay. And, Houston; Vance.

Go ahead, Jim.

Just want to get a time check with you. When do you want us to start powering up the ball? We just got to our PTC attitude.

Understand you'd like to know when to power up the -

We think to take about 15 —

…

Yes. The ball inside the maneuver, we think it will take us about 15 minutes to get there. We'd like you to confirm that.

Stand by 1.

… god damn …

What would that take to use … use the command module or what? To load the PLSS …

When is that Sun check time supposed to take place?

74 hours 29 minutes …

Okay, Houston; Aquarius. I'd just like to do the little Sun check. Do you want me to do it now?

Jim, Roger. We just came up with a maneuver time of approximately 15 minutes, so if you start any time between now and about the next 2 minutes it would get you into attitude by 73:15. Over.

Roger. We'll start the maneuver at this time. Okay. Let's go.

Okay. SPS … —

If we don't keep working, we'll never develop it.

… now, Power up your FDAI.

All right.

Okay. Give me 16 … Apparently. … panel 11 …

Yes.

… GASTA.

Okay.

And COMMANDER FDAI.

Okay.

Reading you loud and clear. Go ahead.

Are you monitoring our P52 technique?

That's negative, Jim. We do not have high bit rate data on you now. Over.

Okay. Thank you.

Roger.

And be advised, Vance, that we are getting several echos in our COMM downlink here.

Roger. We'll check into it.

… … and … alinement.

Apollo 13, Houston.

Go ahead, Houston.

Jim, request you give us high bit rate now. We might be able to fix you up on the 120 antenna.

Okay. High bit rate.

Roger.

And, zero, zero, zero.

Yes.

Apollo 13, Houston.

Go ahead.

Fred, we can't lock up on your high bit rate. Request you go back low bit rate.

Hey, we lost you there, Vance.

Roger. Advise, we are not locking up on your high bit rate, so you can go back low bit rate. Over.

Low bit rate.

Right here, Jim. There it is. Looks like it …

I don't have all the confidence in the world in this Earth-Sun P52.

You know how many times I screwed up on my arithmetic.

Yes. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Listen, I'm not.

We're … going to be two diameters out, huh?

Yes.

Okay. Tell me what that technique is to get the lamp on, in case I don't see it.

They'll have to give you AC again and you punch in your breaker -Well, let's see—I've still got H_P on for the FDAIs, so you're in business now. All you need is the lamp breaker, the AC BUS A AOT lamp breaker, that is.

Let me know when these start going. There's the Sun. Give me the—Give me the AOT.

Okay.

Never mind. I don't need it. Go ahead. I got it. Never mind.

Reticle brightness, want it up? Got the reticle?

I got the reticle …

… Call it, Jack; you can see it better.

…

Okay.

… …

… we got it a great big one.

Yes. I show it about maybe a third of a diameter to the left.

Okay. Take a look.

Check your needles. You're off in roll, Jim.

Pitch and yaw are in, but we're off in your roll needle. Better get that …

Okay. It brings it in. Say when.

Okay. We got it. I think we got it. What diameter was it?

Yes. It's coming back in. Just a second.
