Spacelog Apollo 13

Houston, Aquarius.

Aquarius, Houston. Go.

Volts, 39.3; amps, 1.2 zip.

Okay. We copy 39.3 and 1.20. And, Jim, I've got one more item for information for you. At—In about 45 minutes or so, you will get an H₂O quantity caution light on the descent tank. We expect this. It occurs at 16 percent. And it's no problem, because we intend to run the tank dry just for drill. To reset the—the light, on panel 2, just set the O₂ H₂O QUANTITY MONITOR to the CAUTION/WARNING RESET position and the light will go away. Over.

Okay. I understand. We're going to get a H₂O warning light here shortly, and I'll reset it.

Houston, Apollo 13.

Aquarius, Houston; go ahead.

Okay, Joe, we got the WATER warning light.

Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston.

Okay, Jim. The experts would like another volt and amp reading.

Aquarius, Houston; go ahead.

Voltage is 39.3, amps 1.26.

Copy 39.3 and 1.26.

Houston, Aquarius.

Aquarius, Houston; go.

Joe, you might pass to our friends in Crew Systems that lunar boots make great footwarmers.

I guess you need them up there, too. Is—is anybody sleeping in the command module right now, Jim?

Negative, Joe. It's just too cold in there. I got Fred stashed over here to my left. He's asleep and Jack's …

Roger.

You can eliminate the chilldown procedure for reentry.

Aquarius, this is Earth. Over.

Go ahead, Earth; Aquarius here.

Roger. Earth is here, also; and, Jim, it is time for another one of those volt/amp checks. For your information, we've got that battery back up to 30 amp-hours now. Over.

Hey, that sounds great. Jack's gone up to check it.

Roger.

Aquarius, Earth.

Go ahead.

You know, I think Aquarius is …

We've got garble now, Jim; I'm sorry.

I said Aquarius …

Roger.

Houston, Aquarius.

Go ahead.

Voltage 39.3, amps 1.26.

Okay. Copy that, Jim.

Jim, Houston. Have you guys put on any extra clothes to try and ward off the nip of Jack Frost? Over.

Well, the lunar boots and two pair of underwear, and everyone is … crawl into their sleep restraints.

Yes.

We're a little reluctant to break out the suits.

Yes, that's understandable. You can always use them if you have to. I guess it's pretty hard to get extra coveralls on, huh?

Well, Joe, I didn't think we had any extra inflight garments aboard, but we're going to check right now.

Aquarius, Houston.
