Okay, Jack. The plot shows you about 130 000 miles out, which is about, gee, 10 000 closer than you were when I came on a couple of hours ago. And let me check with FIDO for your rate of closure.

Roger, Jack. Hate to keep bugging you, but we would like another volts and amps reading. Over.

Jack, I think you asked if the canister MOD was working and the answer is, it sure as hell is.

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)

Okay. We had a handover, but that was about a half an hour ago, and I didn't call you on it. Let me check with INCO and see if he thinks everything's okay. Your COMM sounds just as good as it's ever been.

Roger. We're checking into it. We think we lost lock in Madrid for a while, and we've got it back now.

You're getting a little weak. Did you say you wanted to verify what—what your vacuum perigee is? Over.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. The good FIDO gives us a vacuum perigee at the present time of 23.6 with a flight path angle of minus 6.25 degrees. That's without a midcourse. He's kind of tossing around the idea of doing a midcourse-7 maneuver at 5 hours before entry. If we do it, it looks like it won't be more than 2 feet per second. Over.

You can tell Jay and David that I went for a whole flight and didn't use the bathroom.

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)

(Laughter) He copies that. David's here; he says you've kept him so busy he hasn't had time to work on his stereo all week.
