Okay. I'm on the other OMNI now. I just said that you're coming in even louder than previously.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
And, for your information, Jack, I'm just going to tear into some beef and gravy and other assorted goodies.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
I presume that you're doing this with the full permission and—of the commander.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Well, I'm sneaking inside of the LM where he doesn't have … Incidentally, this PTC must have some—must have a wobble mode around our X-axis there because now the Moon and Earth are back in the right perspective.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Say, Fred, sometime when you're not too busy chewing on that beef, how about telling us what the CO2 reads?
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes. It appears the wobble is going the other way, Jack, because the Earth is now rising and the Moon is starting to get lower in the window.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
In fact, if you could give it two or three REVs in a row, why then we could predict where it's going and maybe help us set it up again if we have to.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
And, Fred, we're doing a little better on our water than we had anticipated. Our numbers were designed for 3.5 pounds per hour; we're using about 3.0, and expect to go a little bit less.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. The Earth went—just went by about—clear above the LPD index. It was—it was, if it were extended, the number would be minus 6.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes, there's actually no such number. I just extended the line beyond zero which, for a negative rate, is what it would be if there was one.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
It's still there. I'm looking at it right now. I can look at—the Sun is right behind me, then all these sparklies show up. Yes. It kind of looks like I'm right in the middle of the—of the Milky Way. There are several thousand little sparklies at various ranges out as far as I can see …
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
They're kind of interesting. They're all moving … and sparkling there. And I can …—at least I think I can what will occasionally give you a real star from the bunch of sparklies, but it really does break up the capability to pick out a star pattern, particularly through …

Okay. So far, we haven't identified what the sparklies are and what is venting.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Oh, as soon as I chug down this grape drink and grapefruit—orange drink, I think I'll be in pretty good shape.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
How much sleep did you get between the burn and the time you got up for this exercise?
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Oh, I'd guesstimate about 4 hours, Jack. Wait a minute, which burn you talking about?
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
It was the burn we just made. Did you get any sleep between it, and the time you got up for this watch?
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Oh, no. I didn't—I haven't been to bed since all the action the night before, and I went to go to bed for about 4 hours then …
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Well, we're just trying to figure out who's likely to be the most tired up there. You or Jim.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, Jack. The Earth has started back down. The hack on the LPD there was 1 degree.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Hey, tell Charlie that I'll be back down there personally to thank him for this baby.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. The Moon—I'd estimate it up around minus—somewhere 17 to minus 20 degrees LPD.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
They're going to take you by helo to Samoa. You'll spend the night in Samoa, get on a 141, and be at Ellington shortly thereafter.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Had you worrying that you're going to spend the night on the ship, helo to Samoa and directly to Ellington.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Fred, I'm not reading you. Maybe we'd better wait until we change antennas or unless you can speak up a little louder.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Gee, I'm sorry, Fred. We're just not reading you right now. Maybe we'll have to wait a little bit.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Let's try it now. If you can speak up, the background noise has gone down a little bit.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
I was just commenting—I've been looking here at the thrusters on quads 1 and 4. We've got a slight discoloration on the outside of the barrel. The nozzles look like they hadn't ever been fired,—like they're brand new. … of like those skinny things on the interior on the upper nozzle …
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
You say the coloration of the thrusters appears they haven't been fired on quads 1 and 4?
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
I'm saying all of them look clean again. I guess they've fired so clean that they don't seem to … at all. … different color, … copper, bronze, color of the oxygen cell. They've been fired because I watched them fire. Okay. The Earth's going by at an LPD of 42.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
And, Fred, that may be why the COMM is a little bit degraded, more background noise, because we're getting out of attitude a little bit there.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
I'm reading you, Fred. I've got a lot of background noise. Looks like it might come and go with attitude.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, the Moon at minus 14.

Okay. Your landing in—your weather in the landing area, which is about 560 miles south of Samoa, is now predicted to be about 1500, scattered, high broken. Waves are going to be 5 feet, the winds are going to be 15 knots, visibility 20 miles, showers in less than 10 percent of the area, and you will be landing at 08:00 local, roughly.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes. Just as we came around the corner, Vance, they told us that it hit—I don't recall the position now, but it was a … impact … and recorded it on the … seismometer.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Yes. It impacted 74 nautical miles from the ALSEP and the passive seismic detected major seismic activity on all long period channels and this was—this activity was detected for 4 hours afterwards with decreasing amplitude. And the impact also was detected by the high-energy channels … The high-energy channel of the SIDE.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Jack, I can definitely tell we're moving away from the Moon, now. I got it all in the monocular at one time. We're right over the top of FPA 8 right now.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
On a point between it and Censorinus—FPA 8 and—the point halfway between there and Censorinus.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. And incidentally, the LPD on the Moon was zero, so it's coming back down. The point looks like we're just about straight over is around Censorinus and the point between it and FPA 8.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Earth at 24. And it looks like you're getting up to about 15 on the CO2, so we want you to select SECONDARY and swap out the primary cartridge. Over.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Fred. And when you select—When you swap out the primary cartridge, don't reselect PRIMARY. Stay on SECONDARY until we use the secondary up. Over.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Well, I missed the Moon on that one, Jack. But I would guess—estimating back a little bit, the LPD angle was somewhere around 42.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Fred, I'm having a hard time reading you, but I think you're giving me a LPD angle.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Fred. I can just barely hear you saying something in the background and I can't make out what it is.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Roger. And Fred is being relieved now. He's—went back to get some rest. This is Lovell here who's got the duty.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Well, what we were really thinking about doing was letting you sleep a little bit longer because we figure you're pretty worn out.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. We're kind of watching this PTC a little bit. Fred's been giving us a few LPD angles as we swang by the center of the Earth—center of the Moon. We noticed that the COMM has been degrading just a little bit so you might have to talk up.
