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

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Hello, Houston; Aquarius.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Jim Lovell (CDR)

All right. Very well.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Oh, I see. Are they going to?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Apollo 13, Houston.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Nunki is in the upper right-hand corner.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Do that for AGS and …

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Be at Tig which is at —

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Wait a minute, […] holding insertion attitude.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes, we're not at the Tig attitude.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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