04 02 43 16
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger.
04 02 48 01
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius.
04 02 48 05
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Aquarius.
04 02 48 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): Our REPRESS package pressure is 820.
04 02 48 14
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. REPRESS pressure 820. Thank you.
04 02 54 17
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
04 02 54 23
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
04 02 54 26
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.
04 02 54 45
Jim Lovell (CDR): Now you know, Houston, I don't have BIOMED on.
04 02 54 53
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.
04 02 55 17
Jim Lovell (CDR): Stand by 1.
04 02 55 19
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay.
04 02 55 59
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. Go ahead.
04 02 56 02
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.
04 02 56 37
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.
04 02 56 50
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.
04 02 57 04
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger.
04 02 58 20
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead.
04 03 49 43
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius.
04 03 49 47
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Jim.
04 03 49 52
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. We just had a battery warning … Battery 2.
04 03 50 07
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Stand by, Jim. The COMM's no good here right now.
04 03 50 20
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius. How do you read now?
04 03 50 23
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead. Loud and clear.
04 03 50 26
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. We just had a battery warning MASTER ALARM, and it looks like it's battery 2.
04 03 50 38
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.
04 03 50 48
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger, Houston—This is Houston. Could you close the POWER AMP circuit breaker, and we'll get some high bit rate?
04 03 50 56
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger.
04 03 51 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): It's closed.
04 03 51 09
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. And we need high bit rate.
04 03 51 49
Jim Lovell (CDR): Are you picking it up, Houston?
04 03 51 53
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger. And we want to open the BAL LOAD CROSS TIE on panel 16. Over.
04 03 52 00
Jim Lovell (CDR): Say again.
04 03 52 01
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Open the BAL LOAD CROSS TIE breaker on panel 16. Over.
04 03 52 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): Open BALANCE LOAD CROSS TIE breaker on 16. Roger.
04 03 52 11
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): That's affirm.
04 03 52 13
Jim Lovell (CDR): It's open.
04 03 53 12
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.
04 03 53 29
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. Could you turn off battery 2, and leave it off and let us look at it?
04 03 53 36
Jim Lovell (CDR): Say again. You want us to turn off battery 2, and leave it off until you look at it?
Expand selection up Contract selection down Close
04 03 53 39
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): That's affirmative.
04 03 53 42
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Battery 2 coming off the line.
Expand selection down Contract selection up
04 03 54 27
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Aquarius. So you want to stay in this configuration for awhile, and let's look at the battery.
04 03 54 34
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. We'll stay in this configuration.
04 03 54 41
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Want to close the BAL LOADS circuit breaker back now.
04 03 55 00
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We want to close the BAL LOADS circuit breaker on panel 16 now, again.
04 03 55 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): We have it closed; the closed—BALANCE LOADS circuit breaker is closed.
04 03 55 13
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.
04 03 55 41
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Request RANGE FUNCTIONS switch to RANGE …
04 03 55 49
Jim Lovell (CDR): All right. RANGE FUNCTIONS switch going to RANGE.
