03 08 50 55
Fred Haise (LMP): Fifteen even.
03 08 50 57
Jim Lovell (CDR): Huh?
03 08 50 58
Fred Haise (LMP): … to 15.
03 08 51 00
Jim Lovell (CDR): What is it right now?
03 08 51 02
Fred Haise (LMP): Nothing. We're not reading anything.
03 08 51 07
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, that's the one they wanted you to leave in.
03 08 51 10
Fred Haise (LMP): …
03 08 51 14
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.
03 08 51 35
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes.
03 08 51 51
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.
03 08 53 03
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yaw. I'm going the wrong way though, aren't I?
03 08 54 32
Fred Haise (LMP): (Laughter).
03 08 54 54
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. What we're going to do, Jack, … over there …
03 08 55 19
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 08 55 25
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
03 08 55 26
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Jim, it looks pretty good except that the pitch is going out in the wrong direction, now. Over.
03 08 55 37
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.
03 08 55 49
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okeydoke.
03 08 57 33
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Now I've got pitch going down; I've got roll almost zero and yaw is almost zero.
03 08 57 42
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. Copy, there, Jim.
03 09 01 26
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, what's an acceptable pitch attitude, that you'll take?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
03 09 02 12
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 09 02 17
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.
03 09 02 31
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Ninety degrees of pitch.
03 09 02 37
Jim Lovell (CDR): I'm looking at 118 degrees of pitch.
03 09 02 48
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Stand by.
03 09 03 06
Jim Lovell (CDR): I'm trying to talk to them.
03 09 03 09
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Stand by a minute, Jim. The pitch is the important thing, but—but stand by 1.
03 09 03 19
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.
03 09 03 47
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.
03 09 07 16
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.
03 09 07 33
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes, this stuff is really tight.
03 09 07 46
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes.
03 09 10 12
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 09 10 16
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
03 09 10 17
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.
03 09 10 29
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Will do. I'm now at 103 degrees—106 degrees pitch, and 2.5 degrees roll.
03 09 10 36
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 09 11 04
Fred Haise (LMP): …?
03 09 11 06
Jim Lovell (CDR): No.
03 09 12 16
Jim Lovell (CDR): … mine are … Hey, I got you a clean one.
03 09 12 22
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
03 09 12 23
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 …
03 09 13 18
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. Are you monitoring my angles? It appears that it might be less then 1 degree per second.
03 09 13 30
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Stand by. We'll check them, Jim.
03 09 14 29
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
03 09 14 34
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
03 09 14 36
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.
03 09 14 48
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. We'll—We'll just hold.
03 09 14 51
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): And if—if you can now go into your eat period or do something else while the rates are stabilizing, why, we recommend you relax somewhere and get some chow.
03 09 15 07
Jim Lovell (CDR): Right-o. We'll do that.
03 09 18 03
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 09 18 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead.

03 09 18 10
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. Looks like your rates are damped sufficient. Recommend that you go ahead with the VERB 25, NOUN 07, ENTER bit on down through the VERB 34, ENTER, and then wish you'd stand by for us to look at it again before you go beyond that. Over.
03 09 18 36
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. I'll go through VERB 25, NOUN 07, down through VERB 34 ENTER, and I'll stand by.
03 09 18 47
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Right-o.
03 09 19 46
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. That's complete.
03 09 19 55
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger. Houston copies, and we'll —
03 09 19 58
Jim Lovell (CDR): You … monitor our rates?
03 09 19 59
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 09 20 08
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): We —
03 09 20 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): You want to monitor the rates; we're 16 20.
03 09 20 12
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger. That's the way it should be done, and we're standing by for the rates to dump out some more.
03 09 20 21
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay.
03 09 20 51
Jack Swigert (CMP): How you coming?
03 09 20 56
Jim Lovell (CDR): Oh, we're taking stock of how much we got there, maybe sort of think about rationing some of it. I mean just to make sure we've got enough to last us and that we get enough water out. I'd hate to run out of water on the last day. Take a look and see how much we got, and fill them up and just hold them there. Yes, and I'll tell you the stuff that's good to eat now will be the candies, the sandwich spreads. Maybe the freeze—the dehydrated stuff. If you have to rehydrate it, it'd be kind of difficult. No, wet packs are good.
03 09 22 24
Jim Lovell (CDR): As a matter of fact, we might use those little—Well, how about the PLSSs?
03 09 22 34
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes, I know, but I mean the PLSSs are bombs, too.
03 09 22 39
Jack Swigert (CMP): …
03 09 22 41
Jim Lovell (CDR): We're damping rates.
03 09 22 44
Jack Swigert (CMP): …
03 09 22 47
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, maybe we ought to use the OPS first.
03 09 25 57
Jim Lovell (CDR): You guys moving around?
03 09 26 07
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay.
03 09 27 25
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. Over.
03 09 27 30
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Vance.
03 09 27 32
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Jim, just a reminder. Any waste water dumped at this point would really jiggle up the PTC preparation, so request you save that until we're spun up. Over.
03 09 27 49
Jim Lovell (CDR): Right. I don't think we're doing any.
03 09 27 52
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): No. No, I don't think so, but I just wanted to make sure you were aware of it—I thought you were.
03 09 28 03
Jim Lovell (CDR): We're saving all the water we can.
03 09 30 12
Jack Swigert (CMP): … for a minute?
03 09 30 16
Jim Lovell (CDR): With the new space. … we're … We've just about slowed down. You're damping right.
03 09 31 53
Fred Haise (LMP): There she is.
03 09 32 34
Fred Haise (LMP): And, Houston, Aquarius.
03 09 32 39
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Houston. Go ahead.
03 09 32 48
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Vance. A couple of items we uncovered for that cartridge MOD. One is the special dust covering bag that we were going to use on the tote bags, that is pretty thick and nonporous; and we went up to the upstairs kitchen and drained water a couple of more times, and made up a whole bunch of drink bags, again; and from the pantry, we retrieved a fairly large—enclosed—enclosure made of plastic that those drink bags are in that I think we can scissor and also make do for a cover, taping it on, if that's appropriate.
03 09 33 34
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. Jack Lousma here has a refined version of the procedure on how to make these the easy way, and I think before too long he ought to be reading that up to you. If —
03 09 33 52
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
03 09 33 53
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): It's not time critical to get this up to you. It's just that, before you get too far in assembling these on your own, we'd kind of like to give you the benefit of experience down here.
03 09 34 10
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Who—Who built them back there.
03 09 34 17
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Tony did some of it, and Jack's been working on it, too. So we've had a big effort on it.
03 09 34 27
Jack Swigert (CMP): Great.
03 09 34 37
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): We would encourage you to wait until tomorrow to receive that procedure, but we can send it up sooner, if you insist. Over.
03 09 34 47
Jack Swigert (CMP): No, that's all right, Vance. Before we have to worry about that I guess we got another primary and three secondaries to go through.
03 09 34 58
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): That's right.
03 09 35 18
Jack Swigert (CMP): You know, sometimes those cartridges have—I guess they rejuvenate.
03 09 35 29
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 09 35 32
Fred Haise (LMP): Man, that's a wicked low pressure down there. I wish I was on it. (Laughter).
03 09 35 44
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
