04 09 05 52
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.
04 09 05 59
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): MARK.
04 09 06 03
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. We got it cranked up.
04 09 10 29
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. We have our attitude set.
04 09 10 35
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger, Jim.
04 09 10 39
Jim Lovell (CDR): I hope the guys in the back room who thought this up right knew what they were saying.
04 09 10 50
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.
04 09 11 01
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. Good going.
04 09 12 04
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Aquarius. The attitude looks good here and your choice when you want to start the burn.
04 09 12 16
Jim Lovell (CDR): We're counting down, aren't we, or do you want us to start any time?
04 09 12 22
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Your choice.
04 09 12 28
Jim Lovell (CDR): You guys are getting easy.
04 09 12 32
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): It's not time critical, Jim.
04 09 12 36
Jim Lovell (CDR): I understand.
04 09 15 59
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.
04 09 16 11
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger, Fred. And let us know when you're going to ullage, will you?
04 09 16 16
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
04 09 16 25
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Stand by. 2, 1.
04 09 16 28
Fred Haise (LMP): MARK it.
04 09 16 29
Fred Haise (LMP): Three minutes to go. Correction, 2 minutes to go, Jack.
04 09 16 34
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. Two minutes. We got it.
04 09 17 01
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Check engine gimbal off, please.
04 09 17 07
Fred Haise (LMP): It's verified to off. And -
04 09 17 28
Fred Haise (LMP): MARK it.
04 09 17 29
Fred Haise (LMP): One minute.
04 09 17 31
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger, Fred.
04 09 17 58
Fred Haise (LMP): ENGINE ARM to DESCENT.
04 09 18 18
Fred Haise (LMP): ULLAGE.
04 09 18 48
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. You're looking at 470.
04 09 18 53
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. We copy 7.4.
04 09 18 59
Fred Haise (LMP): Roger. 7.4 and I had about 0.2 showing, I guess, when we started.
04 09 19 05
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. We verify that, Okay, Aquarius. Trim it to 7.6.
04 09 19 18
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. You want plus-X now to get 7.6. Is that correct?
04 09 19 23
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative.
04 09 19 42
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. You're looking at it, Houston.
04 09 19 46
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. Looks good. Nice work.
04 09 19 51
Fred Haise (LMP): Let's hope it was.
04 09 20 23
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Aquarius. We're ready to follow you through on setting up PTC and powerdown. Your choice.
04 09 20 30
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. We're pressing into getting PTC established right now.
04 09 26 49
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.
04 09 27 08
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. We'll make it 12 versus 21.
04 09 29 50
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. I'm just about there now and as soon as I get 90, we'll start damping rates.
04 09 29 57
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger, Aquarius.
04 09 33 58
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. I'm trying to damp rates now. We're at the proper roll attitude and pitch.
04 09 34 05
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger, Aquarius.
04 09 34 22
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Working a little bit better this time.
04 09 34 29
Jim Lovell (CDR): Are you copying any attitudes down there, rates, et cetera?
04 09 34 56
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): Roger.
04 09 36 25
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.
