Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Thank you.
03 04 46 37
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. And you corrected register 1; it's plus 27210.
03 04 46 43
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 04 46 45
Jim Lovell (CDR): And would you like us to make that maneuver at this time?
03 04 47 10
Jim Lovell (CDR): It's down below us, isn't it?
03 04 47 13
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Stand by.
03 04 47 19
Fred Haise (LMP): Can't see it.
03 04 47 26
Jack Swigert (CMP): Can we have some more light in here now?
03 04 47 29
Jim Lovell (CDR): I have a light.
03 04 48 20
Fred Haise (LMP): What do you see out your upper window?
03 04 48 32
Jim Lovell (CDR): Stars.
03 04 48 37
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes. It looks like—looks like the light is coming from around those clouds.
03 04 48 48
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, you won't get AOS/LOS until 77.
03 04 48 53
Fred Haise (LMP): …
03 04 49 18
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes.
03 04 49 19
Jim Lovell (CDR): …
03 04 49 22
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes.
03 04 49 37
Jim Lovell (CDR): Let's see, AOS is at 2 hours before the burn?
03 04 49 45
Fred Haise (LMP): Just about.
03 04 50 01
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston.
03 04 50 05
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
03 04 50 08
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Jim, we recommend you go ahead and make your VERB 49 maneuver, but just stay there in VERB 49 and don't go ahead to narrow the deadband just yet. And, when you're in that attitude, why, of course, then you can make your star check. And one other item is, I don't think we got back with you, but that hour 15 for powerup sounds fine with us.
03 04 50 40
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. At this time, I'll start my VERB 49 maneuver, but will not narrow the deadband, and we will take a look at Nunki. Okay, Vance.
03 04 50 52
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 04 51 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): Almost, huh?
03 04 51 46
Fred Haise (LMP): Jim? Jim?
03 04 52 30
Jack Swigert (CMP): …
03 04 52 32
Jim Lovell (CDR): No, it shouldn't.
03 04 52 45
Jack Swigert (CMP): …
03 04 52 46
Jim Lovell (CDR): It shouldn't.
03 04 52 54
Jim Lovell (CDR): I was below that …
03 04 52 57
Jack Swigert (CMP): …
03 04 52 58
Jim Lovell (CDR): That's a good idea.
03 04 53 03
Jack Swigert (CMP): …
03 04 53 34
Fred Haise (LMP): … how many lights you're going to see. You can coach Jim on that.
03 04 53 44
Jim Lovell (CDR): Sure. We're there.
03 04 54 22
Fred Haise (LMP): Nunki?
03 04 54 24
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes. I can just barely see it. I see Antares much better.
03 04 54 37
Jim Lovell (CDR): Why is the wide deadband on? Stand by. Is—Is Scorpio moving down?
03 04 55 20
Jim Lovell (CDR): What's that cloud I see over there?
03 04 55 23
Unidentified crew member: I don't know. It looks like a Milky Way.
03 04 55 27
Jim Lovell (CDR): Just a -

Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius.
03 04 55 55
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Go ahead.
03 04 56 00
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. We have completed our maneuver. We're in our wide deadband, and Nunki is close to the top of my display of the AOT. Right now, Antares seems to be more closer towards the center. However, we are in our wide deadband.
03 04 57 18
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Right; understand. We'll have to make a better check later, I guess.
03 04 57 26
Jim Lovell (CDR): I can't for the life of me figure out what that dark stuff is.
03 04 57 38
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes. Did you look at it, Jack?
03 04 57 46
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes. Okay. But I didn't recall what …
03 04 58 17
Jack Swigert (CMP): See it there. Like two black clouds.
03 04 58 24
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, you know what this burn is buying us; 10 hours.
03 04 58 29
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes.
03 04 58 32
Fred Haise (LMP): And how.
03 04 58 54
Jim Lovell (CDR): Might be a good idea.
03 04 59 41
Jack Swigert (CMP): Hey, that's pretty extensive, Jim. You can locate it and get it halfway through the …
03 05 00 25
Jack Swigert (CMP): Strange.
03 05 00 53
Jim Lovell (CDR): It's on the AOT. Well, maybe not.
03 05 01 02
Fred Haise (LMP): I don't think so.
03 05 03 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): I know what that is. That might be the debris that was thrown out there.
03 05 03 15
Jack Swigert (CMP): — into the cloud?
03 05 03 19
Fred Haise (LMP): It's all dark now.
03 05 03 24
Jim Lovell (CDR): From the explosion.
03 05 03 27
Fred Haise (LMP): … we made a maneuver.
03 05 03 30
Jim Lovell (CDR): No, from our explosion.
03 05 03 32
Jack Swigert (CMP): Take a look. It covers a wide area. God, that dark cloud. … Like a pair of contrails. Only if you switch the detent, they go on around. How long to LOS? Is that right?
03 05 04 06
Jim Lovell (CDR): I'd sure like to try the detent 2, but I guess our damn platform's okay, isn't it?
03 05 04 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes.
03 05 04 17
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 05 06 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
03 05 06 11
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. We have a little over 2 minutes until LOS, and everything's looking good here.
03 05 06 21
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. Yes. I take it that we don't have to start our activations until we receive AOS from you.
03 05 06 39
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger. That's correct.
03 05 08 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): You … up our edibles? … water? …
03 05 33 50
Jim Lovell (CDR): Good morning, Houston. How do you read?
03 05 34 37
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 05 34 42
Jim Lovell (CDR): Stand by for AOS.
03 05 35 02
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, how do you read Aquarius?
03 05 35 05
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Reading you about 3 by 3.
03 05 35 43
Jack Swigert (CMP): Houston, Aquarius. How do you read?
03 05 35 49
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Fred. Reading you fairly well now. How do you read?
03 05 35 53
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. I read you loud and clear, …

Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.

Fred Haise (LMP): Jack, why don't you get the other …
03 05 39 23
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, go this way.
03 05 39 31
Jim Lovell (CDR): All right. We're going up on Mare Smythii, now.
03 05 40 55
Jack Swigert (CMP): We'll see where … zooming off.
03 05 41 02
Jim Lovell (CDR): Oh, yes, yes, we're no longer 139 miles. We're leaving.
03 05 41 08
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes, look at that curvature.
03 05 41 18
Jim Lovell (CDR): That might be Crisium ever there, Fred.
03 05 41 37
Jack Swigert (CMP): Oh, yes; way off on the horizon, there, yes.
03 05 41 44
Jim Lovell (CDR): Hey, if you want to use the 250? There's a beautiful shot of Tsiolkovsky which we very seldom have.
03 05 42 04
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, at this stage of the game beggars can't be choosers, I guess.
03 05 42 08
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes, and we can't afford the amps to use the heaters.
03 05 42 36
Jim Lovell (CDR): Here you go.
