Okay. In the third row, under COMM: DISPLAY, open; SE AUDIO, closed; VHF A TRANSMITTER, open—That's a change—VHF B RECEIVER, open; PRIMARY S-BAND, POWER AMPLIFIER, open; TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER, closed; S-BAND ANTENNA, open; PMP, closed; TV, open. Under ECS: DISPLAYS, open; GLYCOL PUMP SECONDARY, open; LOC PUMP, open; CABIN FAN CONTROL, open; CABIN REPRESS, closed; and all the next four closed also. Read back.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. We have DISPLAY, open; SE AUDIO, closed; VHF A TRANSMITTER, open; VHF B RECEIVER, open; POWER AMP's going to be open; TRANSMITTER/ RECEIVER, closed; S-BAND ANTENNA, open; PMP, closed; TV, open; DISPLAY is open; next three are open; CABIN REPRESS, closed; and all the rest closed.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
That's affirmative, Jim. And in row 4, under HEATERS, we want them all—Correction—we want all the QUAD HEATERS open. Correction—we want all the QUAD HEATERS closed.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
We want DISPLAY, open; S-BAND ANTENNA, closed—to avoid a MASTER ALARM, CAMERA—SEQUENCE CAMERA, open; And under EPS, we want DISPLAYs, open; DC BUS VOLT, closed; INVERTER 2, open; ASCENT ECA, closed; ASCENT ECA CONTROL, open; DESCENT ECA, closed; DESCENT ECA CONTROL, closed; TRANSLUNAR BUS TIE, close; we want the CROSS TIE BUS, open; the BAL LOADS, closed; BAT FEED TIEs, closed. How do you read?
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. The four RCS HEATERS will be closed; DISPLAYS, open; S-BAND ANTENNA, closed; CAMERA SEQUENCE will be open; DISPLAY will be open; DC BUS VOLT will be closed; INVERTER 2 open; ASCENT ECA will he closed, but the ASCENT ECA CONTROL, open; DESCENT ECA, closed; DESCENT ECA CONTROL, closed; TRANSLUNAR BUS TIE, closed; and CROSS TIE BUS, open; and BALANCE LOADS, closed; and the BAT FEED TIEs, closed. I have one question, Jack. On panel—on the second line there under LIGHTING, why are we keeping: the FLOODS and TRACK closed? Or are they going to be open?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Negative. We have the, LIGHTING breakers all closed. Control the lighting with the switches and rheostats. Over.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. We don't need the floodlights, I don't think, but we can do it that way, I guess.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
And under row 4, under RCS SYSTEMS A/B-2, QUAD HEATERS, you notice that we've closed those circuit breakers, but what we want you to do is to—on panel 3, turn the RCS A/B-2 QUAD switches 1, 2, 3, and 4, off. Over.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
And we're going to watch your quad temps for you, and when we need to warm them up a little bit, we'll tell you to throw those four switches on—on panel 3.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. Now are we sure that this PTC mode is good enough so we don't … get crossed up later and get out of configuration.

Stand by 1 on that, Jim. Okay, Jim, as far as we can tell right now, the PTC looks as good as any PTC we've ever seen in a CSM, so we're going to go with what we've got.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, and if you turn over the page on Power 8, we have the spacecraft functions remaining to you. We've got low bit rate TM. However, we don't have any VHF. We have CWEA. We have GLYCOL PUMPS. We have SUIT FANS. We have CABIN REPRESS for you, and stand by in ATTITUDE CONTROL here. Okay, in ATTITUDE CONTROL, we'll have hardovers for uses in emergency, and for normal usage we want to have a 15-minute delay to get the heaters on to warm them up be before use. How do you read?
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. For emergency, we have the hardovers and for normal use it requires a 15-minute request to get the heaters on.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim, that concludes our powerdown procedure, and we're waiting for you to get with it.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay, Jack, we'll start. I sure hate to lose the PGNS. I sure hope that procedure for the midcourse is a good one.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
I'll give you this when I'm finished. After we go through this, then you can go through it again and doublecheck it.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Now, the flood lights are on, right? No, I kind of don't think we need them though, do you?
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Don't pull those. Give me the—first of all. We'll get back there. Those four are close, open, open, ENGINE ARM, open, …
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
You're familiar with our particular spacecraft that on panel 16 HEATERS RCS SYSTEMS A and B, QUAD 1 HEATER circuit breaker has been pushed in, and sealed in, and if it's ever pushed out, it's doubtful if we'll ever be able to reset it.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim, on the four QUAD HEATER breakers, we want you to leave them closed. And we'll operate the heaters with the switches on panel 3. Over.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
(Laughter) I still have one question, Jack. I still think that—I still say that the—on the LIGHTING in our panel 16, the FLOOD lights and the TRACK should be open. We're not using them.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay, Jack, my only other concern now is the CO2 rise in the spacecraft. I guess you're keeping a handle on that?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
That's affirmed, Jim. We have you up to 10.6 now, and we're willing to go a little higher on that. We have another cartridge and we have a procedure for making the command module cartridges up. We'll pass that on later.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim, we estimate we've got 1 more hour on the primary cartridge, and 6 or 7 hours on the secondary.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. Fine. Say, it's a spare primary cartridge back there, too, isn't it? So that's good for another, how long?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
And you're right, Jim. We've got another primary cartridge back there behind the ascent engine cover.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. I guess you've done everything right on that panel. Let me check the middle one. Yes. You powered down and then you leave me. Tell me, I've got it.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
But he's giving it to me inert. Of course, I'm giving him my command module, too, which is rather inert right now, too.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
— all of our analysis is based on powerdown to 14 amps, but we're reading on you right now 12.3 and so we're better off than we were in our analysis.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Jack, I thought you were going to get the sleep shift where there wasn't any excitement?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Well, I tried, but I didn't make it. I thought you were supposed to he sleeping now.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Well, Fred-o is getting something to eat, and Jim is starting to sack out so I'm taking the COMM here until Fred gets set.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
As I just—Yes, are you ready to take over? Well, he just—he just asked—said he thought I was supposed to be sleeping. And I told him that I was waiting for you to—Okay. You were off the NET when they explained the—But don't they—Can't we monitor our CDU's any more to tell when to switch antennas, so they've just—When they can see it switch—it will take a couple of minutes for them to get up. And they'll always make a voice check with you.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
It came out here. I caught it. Okay. Now, are you getting squared, I'll give you the COMM here.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
They're, they're showing right now 12.3 amps Their analysis is based on 14 so they're in better—Okay. Headset's yours
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Yes, I got all the good deals. I heard Jack brief you on the COMM mode so, you got any questions about that?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
And how is your PTC going? I heard Jack tell you that we can't see your CDU's. How's it going?
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Well, let's see, we may be offsetting slightly, the Sun looks like it may be a little higher now. Here comes the Earth by and it looks about the same perspective. I'll have to wait to see the Moon on the other side, Jack. …
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Fred, I can't hear you any more on account of the background noise. I assume that—I think I heard Jack tell you what we're going to do about COMM. UPLINK SQUELCH, off. You'll take care of the antennas because we can't see your attitude. We'll give you a voice check when come up. It'll take us 3 to 5 minutes to come up. And to make it astronaut-proof, when you see the Earth, use a forward antenna; when you see the Moon, use the aft one.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes, that's pretty straightforward. Okay, I see the Earth so I've very wisely shifted to FORWARD.
