Spacelog Apollo 13

No. Gee, I don't know what shift he is on. But he comes in later, I guess.

Actually, all the shifts are morning shifts to us.

Okay. Jack, right now we're told that it's closer to 6, and—But they would like to track it some more. Looks like your next midcourse will be in the order of 2 to 3 foot per second.

Houston, 13.

Go ahead, Jack.

Okay. We're still in good shape as far as water goes in the LM?

Okay. We copy.

The reason I ask is I'm assuming that we are, and I have no idea each time I pressurize the surge tank to get water out of the command module, how much I drop that surge tank and if we are in good shape as far as water goes in the LM, we'd like to fill a couple of drink bags to get some water for drinking purposes.

Okay. Have you run out of CM drinking water. yet, Jack?

Oh, no, we've got plenty of drinking water. I think the—I don't have any idea what the surge tank pressure is.

Okay. It's 750 —

— and I don't have any —

It's 750, Jack.

Okay. 750.

Aquarius, Houston.

Go ahead, Vance.

Okay. Stand by 1, Jack, and we'll give you an indication of how that water situation on the LM is—which is your question. Right?

Okay. But I guess what I was really asking is, if you'd have any violent objections if we filled two drink bags from LM water rather than repressurizing the surge tank.

Okay. Stand by on that.

Also, Jim is asleep up there and we didn't want to bother him, either.

Okay. We understand.

And, Jack, we'll be changing stations in 1 minute; so, we may have a temporary dropout in COMM.

Aquarius, Houston.

Okay, Vance. Go ahead. Loud and clear.

Okay, Jack. We're going to bargain with you on this one. Instead of two, would—wish that you would just get just one bag full. That shouldn't do any harm; however —

Okay.

— we are not all that fat on water that we want to do any drinking out of the LM as a regular thing after this one bag. So would you let us know when you get the water out and give us a mark on it so we can watch the TM. Over.

Okay, Vance. We've withdrawn—oh, about 8 ounces of water.

Okay, Jack. How's it taste?

Apollo 13, Houston—or rather, Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Go ahead.

Hey, Jack, we need another reading. Volts and amps.

Vance, you won't believe this, but Fred-o says it's 39.4 and 1.245.

Okay. Our EECOM is recording those numbers. Charlie Dumas, this time.

Oh.

Not changing very fast, is it?

How far out are we?

Okay. 953 and 6068 on velocity, per FIDO.

Okay.
