Spacelog Apollo 13

And I just want to verify one thing, we could —

Yes, I'm sure —

— Go ahead.

I say I'm sure glad we didn't have a LM impact, too.

Right. Just wanted to verify—We had poor reception when I was talking to you before—I wanted to verify that you understand that the Sun check you made earlier in the AOT was good, and that's what we're riding on. Anything that we told you in the past about looking at the Sun in the front left window or looking at stars, like Nunki through the AOT, why, we want to forget.

Roger. Understand, Vance. I think Nunki would be kind of hard to see anyway with the Moon right here.

Right.

And, Vance, we plan to start powering up at 78:12. Is that a good time or do you think we ought to hold off a little longer?

Jim, we think that's very good.

Apollo 13, Houst—Aquarius, Houston.

Go ahead.

Fred, after the burn, we'll get the powerdown instructions, or checklist changes to you. At the same time, we'd like to get a consumables status to you. All I'll say right now is that we think you look in reasonably good shape.

Okay. Very good.

Okay. Houston, Aquarius.

Go ahead.

Okay. One CAUTION AND WARNING light here showing that you didn't call out—it's the PRE AMPS—I suppose because we don't have the ATCA breaker in yet.

Houston, are you planning to give us a state vector update.

That's—That's affirm, Jim. All we need is UPDATA LINK circuit breaker closed on panel 11, and P00 and ACCEPT and we can ship it up to you. P00 and DATA.

Okay, Vance. We're in DATA and P00 and the circuit breaker's in. Go ahead.

Aquarius, Houston.

Aquarius, Houston. Did you call?

We didn't call, Houston.

Okay.

Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Houston, are you calling Aquarius?

Roger, Fred. I would like to confirm that you are getting drinking water out of, potable water out of the command module and, if you can make any estimates of how much you use as time goes on, and how much you have used, we would appreciate it for our consumables analysis.

Okay.

Okay, Jack. Tried the procedure and out of that pressure, we got 10 drinks made. That's roughly 80 ounces.

Okay, Fred, we had a little static on that one, but I think you said that 80 ounces of water has been used out of the CM. Is that right?

Yes. Jack worked the procedure and filled as many of the drinks as he could, and he made up ten bags of approximately 8 ounces a bag.

Aquarius, Houston.

Go ahead, Houston.

Jim, just a bit of information, if for any reason you had to slip T_ig, our people here feel it wouldn't do much harm if you slipped it up to 30 minutes. The procedure, of course as you know, is not to PRO on the flashing 99 and we thought you might like to be aware that T_ig time isn't all that critical.

Okay, Vance; Aquarius.

Go, Fred.

Okay. I think it's finally coming through to us here, what you said just a little while ago. Were you suggesting that we move the T_ig up 30 minutes?

No, not at all. We're just giving you excess information. Just saying if you had any problem at all it could be slipped.

Oh, okay. Slipped 30 minutes. Okay. That's better.

Right.

You guys are pretty fast, though.
