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.

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.
