Jim Lovell (CDR)

What is it right now?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Nothing. We're not reading anything.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Well, that's the one they wanted you to leave in.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

It's in. That's how it triggers the—Okay, Jack. I'm going to push in on this thing to stop it.

Fred Haise (LMP)

That just turned the MASTER ALARM back on. Now that it's on steady, I'll leave it on. I can't understand why I got a power—Oh, I know. That's right. … That reading is correct.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Yaw. I'm going the wrong way though, aren't I?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. What we're going to do, Jack, … over there …

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Jim, it looks pretty good except that the pitch is going out in the wrong direction, now. Over.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

I concur. What I'm going to do is get roll to zero and I'm trying to bring yaw into zero and as soon as I get those two pretty well matched up, then I'm going to take the pitch and try to pitch it down.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okeydoke.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. Now I've got pitch going down; I've got roll almost zero and yaw is almost zero.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Houston, what's an acceptable pitch attitude, that you'll take?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Roger. What's the acceptable pitch attitude that we can have for PTC? I can go into AUTO any time now, I'm looking at 118 degrees in pitch, practically zero roll, and about 40 degrees of yaw.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Ninety degrees of pitch.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

I'm looking at 118 degrees of pitch.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

I'm trying to talk to them.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Stand by a minute, Jim. The pitch is the important thing, but—but stand by 1.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. It's coming down. What's that? Well, I guess I'd better eat something. Hey, this one has some of that candied jelly … you know, we've gone a hell of a long time without any sleep. I said we've gone a hell of a long time without any sleep.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

We'll have to start thinking about getting the … back to sleep again because—I know—I—I didn't get hardly any sleep last night at all.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Hey, Fred? These jettison bags with the—are real airtight stuff, if you want to use them for wrapping for a lithium hydroxide bag or something like that.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes, this stuff is really tight.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, Jim. Would you stable your—stabilize your rates here at the attitudes you're at now and go ATT HOLD. Over.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. Will do. I'm now at 103 degrees—106 degrees pitch, and 2.5 degrees roll.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

… mine are … Hey, I got you a clean one.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Last one's in the trash bag. Oh, I thought—if you wanted a …, you'll have to use the lithium hydroxide …

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, Houston. Are you monitoring my angles? It appears that it might be less then 1 degree per second.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Stand by. We'll check them, Jim.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Jim, that's affirm. We're monitoring and you're almost there, but we'd like to let them stabilize a little bit longer. Over.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. We'll—We'll just hold.
