Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, Aquarius. On my mark, it's going to be 34 minutes to the burn, and you'll be reading 36. Stand by.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. We got it cranked up.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, Houston. We have our attitude set.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

I hope the guys in the back room who thought this up right knew what they were saying.

Fred Haise (LMP)

And I'm looking through the AOT there, Jack, and the Sun's right in the top and it's about maybe 2 degrees to the right of the cursor. So that looks real good.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, Aquarius. The attitude looks good here and your choice when you want to start the burn.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

We're counting down, aren't we, or do you want us to start any time?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

You guys are getting easy.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

It's not time critical, Jim.

Fred Haise (LMP)

And, Houston, we reset our clock and we're making the burn in about—I'll give you a hack here at 2 minutes to go.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Roger, Fred. And let us know when you're going to ullage, will you?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. Stand by. 2, 1.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Three minutes to go. Correction, 2 minutes to go, Jack.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Roger. Two minutes. We got it.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Check engine gimbal off, please.

Fred Haise (LMP)

It's verified to off. And -

Fred Haise (LMP)

ENGINE ARM to DESCENT.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. You're looking at 470.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Roger. 7.4 and I had about 0.2 showing, I guess, when we started.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Roger. We verify that, Okay, Aquarius. Trim it to 7.6.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. You want plus-X now to get 7.6. Is that correct?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. You're looking at it, Houston.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay. Looks good. Nice work.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, Aquarius. We're ready to follow you through on setting up PTC and powerdown. Your choice.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. We're pressing into getting PTC established right now.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. We'd like to change the number of yaw pulses we gave you before as 21. We'd like to reduce that to 12. Twelve pulses yaw right, and that'll take you about 3 seconds to get them in if you don't want to count them.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. We'll make it 12 versus 21.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, Houston. I'm just about there now and as soon as I get 90, we'll start damping rates.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, Houston. I'm trying to damp rates now. We're at the proper roll attitude and pitch.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Working a little bit better this time.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Are you copying any attitudes down there, rates, et cetera?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, Aquarius. We're seeing some extremely low rates at this time, really below our capability to measure them.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Houston, I think I've got pitch and roll just about squared away. I let yaw just slightly drift; it's drifting in a clockwise direction and I'm about all set now to put in my 12 clicks to the right.
