Oh, let's say whenever I left Jack, and Fred came up and we ate for about an hour, and then I went to bed, so whatever that time was. It must be about 5 hours, something like that; 4 or 5 hours.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Jim, the next time that it's convenient, could you get the readout of the REPRESS package in the command module for us? Over.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
And, Houston, Aquarius. It looks like service module venting has ceased, at least momentarily.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Understand service module venting has ceased momentarily. How about the descent stage? Does Fred report venting down there? Do you still see that?
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
What is your report on descent stage venting—Was it venting? Anything else going on? Any more venting?
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
No. Fred hasn't seen anything else from the descent stage. And I understand that we can expect the—the SHe—tank pressure to build up to relief here about 105 hours.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. I'd like to show them the arrangement of these hydroxide canisters. Do you have?
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
The main thing we got to think about, and when we have to get to them, is the procedures for LM jettison, the transfer of the LM to CSM mode (cough), LM jettison.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
We would like permission to turn the BIOMED on to get off the hot mike mode. I don't think that we have to be on it now if you have the big dish on, do you?
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
One other point. The philosophy of timing this midcourse is based a little bit on doing it just before the SHe tank is supposed to vent. That way, we hope that we would have — be powered up and you would have control when the venting occurs, in case you were tossed around a little bit. Over.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. Understand. Philosophy on the midcourse is doing it prior to venting of the SHe tank, which means we'll be doing this around 105 hours, I suppose, or 105:30 and so I'll have control of the spacecraft if it should give us some perturbation.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Jim, could you switch your BIOMED switch to the position opposite to where it is now? We are getting a subcarrier, but no data. Over.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. And we have a small addition to the procedure that was read up to you earlier, which involves power transfer from the LM to the CSM.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. At the end of the procedure, after the step BAT 5 and 6, OFF, add the following: circuit breakers, panels—panels 11 and 16, ASCENT ECA CONTROL, both open. Over.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. After the step BAT 5 and 6, OFF, step 3 will be circuit breakers panels 11 and 16 ASCENT ECA CONTROL, both open.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
That's correct, Jim. And this is to guard against a single-point failure that—a remote possibility that would preclude you from getting the batteries back on.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. We just had a battery warning MASTER ALARM, and it looks like it's battery 2.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Houston—This is Houston. Could you close the POWER AMP circuit breaker, and we'll get some high bit rate?
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
It's open.

Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
If you're getting high bit data, we could do an OFF/RESET and go back on on battery 2. We're standing by for that.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Say again. You want us to turn off battery 2, and leave it off until you look at it?
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Aquarius. So you want to stay in this configuration for awhile, and let's look at the battery.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
13, Houston. We want to close the BAL LOADS circuit breaker on panel 16 now, again.
