Jim Lovell (CDR): 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.
03 08 05 24
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay.
03 08 06 07
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. GUIDANCE CONTROL, PGNS; MODE CONTROL to ATT HOLD. VERB 73 clears. Okay. We've got to get that out. … it stopped moving.
03 08 06 54
Jim Lovell (CDR): Here we go.
03 08 07 32
Jim Lovell (CDR): … the battery. …
03 08 08 27
Jim Lovell (CDR): Do you know what the plus-X thrusters are?
03 08 08 41
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes, okay. I just wanted to make sure you do. I got them over here.
03 08 08 55
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 08 08 59
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead.
03 08 09 01
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. A couple of things, Jim. One is that you can use the TTCAs to maneuver, but you're going to save a lot of fuel if you'd try MINIMUM IMPULSE. So, that might be a better recommendation. The other thing is, we'd like to give you a GO before you disable the plus-X thrusters, and before you do a VERB 76, and MODE CONTROL to ATT HOLD. Over.
03 08 09 40
Jim Lovell (CDR): 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.
03 08 10 04
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): 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.
03 08 10 20
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. Understand. And I'm maneuvering my roll now to zero.
03 08 10 25
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 08 10 51
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes. Those are the plus-X, right?
03 08 11 03
Fred Haise (LMP): Houston, Aquarius
03 08 11 07
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Aquarius.
03 08 11 11
Fred Haise (LMP): Ah -
03 08 11 12
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead.
03 08 11 13
Fred Haise (LMP): 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?
03 08 11 33
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Fred. We didn't explain that. The VERB 25, NOUN 07, ENTER sequence does that.
03 08 11 43
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. I didn't read the whole procedure. Jim just mentioned he wanted to disable plus-X.
03 08 11 49
Jim Lovell (CDR): I just did.
03 08 11 50
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
03 08 12 32
Fred Haise (LMP): And, Vance, are you still trying to get me an answer on that—pulling that ASA breaker?
03 08 12 44
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): That's affirm, Fred. This—The word here is, pull it.
03 08 12 53
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Sure didn't get much work out of the AGS this time.
03 08 14 43
Fred Haise (LMP): It's going slightly.
03 08 14 45
Jim Lovell (CDR): So is this one.
03 08 15 26
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes. You got a ways to go in pitch.
03 08 15 29
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes.
03 08 15 30
Fred Haise (LMP): … 80.
03 08 16 46
Jim Lovell (CDR): You want to rest a little bit?
03 08 16 52
Fred Haise (LMP): What time is it, 9:30? Yes. I got about what? I think I got about 10.
03 08 18 49
Jim Lovell (CDR): We're now in the hands of tracking.
03 08 18 52
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes. It looks different than before.
03 08 19 09
Fred Haise (LMP): Hard to do P37s in the LM. Hard to do a P37 in the LM.
03 08 19 52
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, you can see where —
03 08 19 55
Fred Haise (LMP): You almost can see —
03 08 19 57
Jim Lovell (CDR): — See Ptolemaeus, Althonsus—There's Herschel.
03 08 20 13
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes, you can barely see it in the corner there.
03 08 20 18
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
03 08 20 23
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM): 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.
03 08 21 16
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. I'm in process now, Vance, of maneuvering to zero yaw, 90-degree pitch, using MINIMUM IMPULSE.
03 08 21 25
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay.
03 08 21 42
Fred Haise (LMP): And, Vance, I assume it had also been brought up that we got two extra secondary cartridges—one in each PLSS.
03 08 21 55
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.

Jim Lovell (CDR): We ought to start working on that MOD right now.
03 08 22 13
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): 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.
