Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
That's affirmative, Fred. We're ready to press on with powerdown. I've got two changes for you. Step 1 of the emergency powerdown on page power—5. Over.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Leave your POWER AMPLIFIER switch in PRIMARY vice OFF and put your RANGING switch to RANGE, vice OFF/RESET.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. We'll hold off. And we're looking at a SHe pressure, incidentally, of about 1830 now.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. We concur with that. And it looks like you got a little pitch rate going on here. Do you copy the same?
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. My pitch needle is just slightly up now. I could try to take it out if you want me to.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
What's that flitting out there in the breeze? Are we venting again? Take a look, Jack.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Well, once we get squared away, Joe, I think I am going to have to go to the space center and take a good healthy one and leave just about everything. I've held up long enough.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
That's coming from above. Another one just—is just coming down right over here. Well, there's the old terminator at Fra Mauro. We'd been landing about 2 hours ago, huh? Right on the —

Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Just for information, although I thought I'd never have to use it, that technique looked like it was a pretty good one.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Jim. And we'd like you to give us your idea of how the PTC looks. We're not sure we're seeing what we ought to here.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. I still have my ball powered up and I'm coming around past 270 right now. I've got a slight roll and pitch offset in there. My pitch needle about halfway up and my roll needle is about 4 degrees over now.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. With that info we'll go on the PTC, and let's proceed with the powerdown.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. We'll proceed with the PTC and proceed with the powerdown. I guess if we have to we can reestablish PTC at a later date. Okay. Okay.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. Let's—give the last thing to Jack and I'll keep it all out. Okay? RCS SYSTEM A. That's in. TCAs are going off. Why do they need the ISOL valves in the ASCENT FEED in?
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Because you didn't want them to get moved inadvertently, I guess. It doesn't matter, Jim, they can be out or in in terms of powerdown. They just don't count.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Reading you 5-square, Fred. How me?
