Spacelog Apollo 13

That's affirm. And I'm going to take out roll first to get it zero and then I'm going to take care of pitch.

Okay.

Okay. GUIDANCE CONTROL, PGNS; MODE CONTROL to ATT HOLD. VERB 73 clears. Okay. We've got to get that out. … it stopped moving.

Here we go.

… the battery. …

Do you know what the plus-X thrusters are?

Yes, okay. I just wanted to make sure you do. I got them over here.

Okay; understand. You want a GO before I—I'm—Of course, I just did a 76, and the MODE CONTROL is in ATT HOLD, at this time. But, this is later on down.

Yes. All we wanted to do was take a look at things before you disabled the plus-X thrusters, and before you go to MIN IMPULSE at the end there—that VERB 76, ENTER; MODE CONTROL, ATT HOLD.

Roger. Understand. And I'm maneuvering my roll now to zero.

Roger.

Yes. Those are the plus-X, right?

Houston, Aquarius

Go ahead, Aquarius.

Ah -

Go ahead.

In what fashion did you want us to disable those plus-X thrusters? Just pulling those appropriate TCA breakers, or did you want to actually go in and mask those jets?

Okay, Fred. We didn't explain that. The VERB 25, NOUN 07, ENTER sequence does that.

Okay. I didn't read the whole procedure. Jim just mentioned he wanted to disable plus-X.

I just did.

Okay.

And, Vance, are you still trying to get me an answer on that—pulling that ASA breaker?

That's affirm, Fred. This—The word here is, pull it.

Okay. Sure didn't get much work out of the AGS this time.

It's going slightly.

So is this one.

Yes. You got a ways to go in pitch.

Yes.

… 80.

You want to rest a little bit?

What time is it, 9:30? Yes. I got about what? I think I got about 10.

We're now in the hands of tracking.

Yes. It looks different than before.

Hard to do P37s in the LM. Hard to do a P37 in the LM.

Well, you can see where —

You almost can see —

— See Ptolemaeus, Althonsus—There's Herschel.

Yes, you can barely see it in the corner there.

Aquarius, Houston.

Go ahead, Houston.

Okay. Just some info. We're working up a procedure for you to use to—to use command module LiOH canisters to connect to your hoses—the outlet hoses in the LM so that, as time passes in the mission, you can continue scrubbing the LM atmosphere. And this whole thing requires modifying a kit so that you can attach the hose modifying a LiOH canister, so you can attach the hose to it. So, sometime in the future, we will be coming up to you with that procedure. Second point—Second point in, we're standing by to watch your maneuver for the PTC procedure. Over.

Okay. I'm in process now, Vance, of maneuvering to zero yaw, 90-degree pitch, using MINIMUM IMPULSE.

Okay.

And, Vance, I assume it had also been brought up that we got two extra secondary cartridges—one in each PLSS.

Roger.

We ought to start working on that MOD right now.

Yes. We wish we could send you a kit and it would be kind of like putting a model airplane together or something. As it turns out, this contraption will look like a mailbox when you get it all put together.
