Spacelog Apollo 13

Okay. Vance, I guess I understood you all were amassing a couple of—list of things that you were thinking about later on—we'd be taking back from the LM across into the CSM. A couple of items to add to that list, we've pilfered the—the intake hose screens out of the CSM and we have them mounted on the LM hoses now to catch the debris in here. We probably ought to take those back.

Okay. We got that. Intake hose screens.

I guess that item isn't going to change your c.g. too much, Fred-o.

Let's hope not.

… command module water.

Yes. No, …

… Get out one of those big … bags.

Much debris in there?

…

Trying to put debris in?

Yes.

How's that for … (laughter).

… didn't see any …

Yes. Oh, what I'd like to do is find out how many—Yes—What happened to the two little midcourses that's got to be with this vehicle.

Yes. …

Now we just take the CSM and strip it down. Start putting the … stuff in here.

… seems to me.

Guaranteed to work.

Okay. …

Hey, can't you pilfer more there? Yes. …

… what you do—what you do, you put your -

Not bad …

Now, let's see, this burn's … to our back, I suppose. Let's hope it works.

Now, let's see. What should we be doing here now?

Okay. The next thing is power for the burn. Did they give you a time to start powerup?

No. …

Yes, we ought to get a … You know, we ought to get … —

They will.

Hello, Houston; Aquarius.

Go, Aquarius.

Let's just recap the situation now. We're not going to do any more PTC. We'll maintain this attitude. You have already updated us on P30 load. We would like from you an LOS time, and a powerup start time for the PC plus 2. And an AOS time.

Okay. We copy that.

We're going to also get back with you shortly, Jim, for—with some burn guidelines for PC plus 2.

All right. Very well.

Have they powered up the mission timer—the event timer?

…

Apollo 13, Houston.

Go ahead, Houston.

Jim, we were just discussing burn star monitoring and we were curious to know if you can see Nunki in detent 2 at this time. Over.

That's affirmative. I can see Nunki in detent 2.

Okay. Thank you. Roughly, in what part of the field of view?

Nunki is in the upper right-hand corner.

Okay. Thank you.

And Scorp—And Antares is barely visible in the bottom of the field of view.

Okay.

…

Hey, I bet I know how I could get an alinement. Give them a cursor spiral angle. Instead of maneuvering the spacecraft, I'll give them cursor spiral.

Do that for AGS and …

Houston, for what it's worth, we can probably give you a cursor spiral angle on Nunki and possibly Antares or more than likely Shaula.

Roger, Jim. According to our calculations, Nunki should be, at burn time, pretty close to the center of the AOT. We've been talking that possibility over.

Roger.

Also, as a matter of general interest, the Sun should be in—at the bottom part of the CDR's window at the bottom of the LPD vertical line.

Be at T_ig which is at —

That's affirm.

It must be that—You're right, because it's behind us now.

Wait a minute, […] holding insertion attitude.

Yes, we're not at the T_ig attitude.

Oh.

Apollo 13, Houston.

Go ahead.

Jim, whenever you're through eating and ready to copy the info, I can send you the burn rules.
