We DOWN VOICE BACKUP?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Roger. We still want an activation start time for a burn.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Understand. You want a powerup time, is that affirm?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. Look it. Let's get the cameras squared away; let's get all set to burn. We got one chance now.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

We're not going to hack it at 152 hours.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Jim, regarding the start time for the powerup, you mentioned an hour and 15 minutes. We think that is adequate. This is crew preference depending on how much time you think you need. We would go along with an hour and 15 minutes —

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay—Okay, sounds good.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, Fred-o. You been through most of that checklist for an hour? Let's get it out and …

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Hey, Jack. Did you … camera back up …?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Page 2, I'm going to power up the …

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, Jim. We have about three items for you. We have a maneuver pad, P30 LM maneuver, again; and the maneuver pad for the CM for splashdown. We also have a checklist change with contingencies,—LM contingencies checklist. And, I'll stand by while you're gathering the books.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. I'm at—I got the contingency book, so give me that one first.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. I'm at page 18.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. About half-way down. When propellant quantity equals 30 percent, or rather 37 percent, we would like to change that line to read—when time to go is equal to 10 seconds—Of course, the line under that remains the same then, DESCENT HE REG 1 to CLOSE.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. When time to go equals 10 seconds, DESCENT HELIUM REG 1, CLOSE.

That's affirm. Before I start on the pads, another comment. The general indications that we gave you before about the Sun being in the commander's window and about stars in the AOT, such as that might be used as general indication for your attitude for the burn, that's all out the window. We are just going on the Sun check that we made earlier and we don't feel that we have information that is good enough to give you the star and the Sun in the window information.

Over.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, Vance. … 079:27:38.30, plus 0833.0, minus 0050.9, minus 0213.9, N/A, plus 00205, 08615, 4:24, 272, 081 and the rest N/A.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, Aquarius; Houston. You're coming in about 1 by 1 now. Advise that I heard everything except the beginning NOUN 33 values and the comments. Please repeat the readback on those.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. I'm going to UP with the POWER AMP here, Vance.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Houston, how do you read Aquarius now?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Hey, you're loud and clear now.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. I got the POWER AMPS now, PC plus 2 hours, 079:27; 38.030, plus 08330, minus 00509, minus 02139, N/A, plus 00205, 08615, 4:24, 272, 081; rest N/A.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. Forty percent for 21 seconds, I believe is what you read back. And all the rest is correct. Now, for the maneuver pad for the CSM. Over.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, Fred-o. This is maneuver pad monitor PC plus 2 hours; all N/A until you get to NOUN 61, latitude minus 21.65, minus 165.00, 1163.5, 36292, 142:39:22. Over.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Monitor plane change plus 2; NOUN 81 minus 21.65 minus 165.00, 1163.5, 36292, 142:39:22.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. That was starting with NOUN 61, and that's correct.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

By the way, Aquarius, we see the results now from 12's seismometer. Looks like your booster just hit the Moon, and it's rocking it a little bit. Over.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Well, at least something worked on this flight.
