Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. CB LM POWER-2, MAIN B, open; CB LM POWER-1, MAIN A, open; CB EPS SENSOR SIGNAL, MAIN B, open. Stand by 1, Jack.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Jack, I don't think we ever closed CB LM POWER-1, MAIN A. We closed LM POWER-2, MAIN B, and LM POWER-1, MAIN B. Both of them on MAIN B.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. On panel 16 circuit breaker, EPS, BAT FEED TIES, two, open; and now you've got to listen real carefully for high volts and low volts, BATTERY 1, HIGH VOLTS, to OFF/RESET; BATTERY 2, LOW VOLTS, to OFF/RESET and then ON: BATTERY 2, HIGH VOLTS, to OFF/RESET and then ON; BATTERY 1, HIGH VOLTS, ON; and then the circuit breaker on panel 16, EPS: BAT FEED TIES, both of them, closed. Read back.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. On the LM side of the house is on panel 16. CB EPS BAT FEED TIES, two, open; BATTERY 1, HIGH VOLTAGE, OFF/RESET; BATTERY 2, LOW VOLTAGE, OFF/RESET then ON; BATTERY 2, HIGH VOLTAGE, OFF/RESET then ON; BATTERY 1, HIGH VOLTAGE, ON. Panel 16, CB BAT FEED TIES, two closed.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. That's a good readback. It concludes the procedure going both ways and now we just have to stand by.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
No, we're going to do it pretty soon, but we want to have high bit rate, and we don't want you to give that to us until we tell you.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. I think I'll go back and try to undamp up there. Do you have anything more for the command module?
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Jack. Just for curiosity's sake, does FIDO have any information as to whether that helium—that helium tank dump affected our trajectory at all?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Aquarius. Our tracking data shows that since the helium dump, our entry angle has not changed from its value of 6.24 and somebody calculated that if we had a propulsive vent, that helium could roughly, at the maximum, only impart a DELTA-V of a half a foot per second or less, anyway. But we're continuing to track and as soon as we get some more info, we'll pass it along.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
They said that it would be a while because they want to get high bit rate. They don't want to put high bit rate. …
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Aquarius. We're ready. So we want some high bit rate. To do that, go over to panel 16 under COMM and close the PRIMARY S-BAND POWER AMPLIFIER. On your COMM panel -
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. Okay, Jack. Wait 1. While—I'd like to get the whole crew up for this if you don't mind.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
We want to transfer some power—I want to go to high bit rate here first, then want to transfer LM power to CSM, Fred.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Aquarius, there's no great big rush. If you want to let Fred come up to speed slowly, why maybe that'll help out
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
And Houston, Jack is showing Fred the procedures before we start up.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. Jack is showing Fred the procedures. Want to get him familiarized with them, and how to get out of any problems before we proceed.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. No rush. Just let us know when you're ready. We don't want old Fred-o to slip a gimbal there.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, I guess the only question I have is in the first—the very first portion involving the LM here where it has me turn on the only BAT 6, and then turn off all the DESCENT BATTERIES. Are you still reading me?
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, the question is “Only one ASCENT BATTERY BAT 6 on the line,” immediately followed by turning off four DESCENT BATs. Is that correct?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
That's affirmative, Fred. That question has been banged around and we decided to go that way.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Let's see, we will be powering other BUS via the CROSS TIE BALANCE LOADS breaker. Is that correct?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
And after you turn BAT 6 on the line, you might as well take a look at the BATs 1 through 4 and so forth, and make sure that it's okay to turn them off.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Yes, we're ready for the POWER AMPLIFIER and the HIGH BIT RATE, and NORMAL VOICE, on the FUNCTION switch, please.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. Am I cleared to proceed with the next step, getting 1, 2, 3, and 4, OFF/RESET?
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, Houston. We need a call from you when to have Jack to proceed up into the Odyssey and start up there.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, Houston; Aquarius. We've completed the powerup and things look good upstairs. Are we GO for proceeding with battery charge?
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes. I think if you add up the—Yes—if you add up the operating time, I think the LM beats the CSM by a considerable margin on this flight.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes. It—it also must of not did very much, except the rates. I was asleep then and I didn't hear a thing.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Jack said it was just before he went up. Right now, the Sun's over there, and I can't really tell —
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
We asked him a long time ago if he was able to see any stars out the optics. I don't think we ever got an answer.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
That's a pretty good sleep station I had rigged up, Jack. I took one of the sleep restraints out of the command module, zipped up in it, and then hooked the tie, right at the top of the zipper, onto the LM upper hatch handle. So it kind of held me there, and then just drifted up in the tunnel upside down with my face toward the hatch, so the sunlight didn't get in my eyes and that worked pretty good.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
They came—both came down here rubbing their hands, shivering. It's pretty cool upstairs.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. And right now, it looks like … right now, it looks like the command module isn't venting, Jack, so I'm going to try to take a look at the optics.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes. That's the word. We've just looked through the AOT and you can't see anything back there.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. And everything's fine in El Lago.
