Spacelog Apollo 13

Jim, we—you were able to get those voltage—BAT A voltage and current readings?

Oh, yes. Fred's—Fred's up there now.

Okay. And we're ready to read you the first checklist installment. This will—What we're going to readup is going to be a LM time line, a CSM time line, and checklist changes to conform with these. And right now I have the first installment of the CSM time line ready to read up. Over.

Okay, Jack. I'm going to get—Vance, I'm going to get Jack on the line for that; and so stand by.

Okay. And he'll need a lot of paper.

Okay. Volts are 39.5; amps, 1.24. Stand by.

Okay. We got it.

Aquarius, Houston.

Okay, Vance. I'm on and ready to copy.

Aquarius, Houston.

Okay, Vance. Go ahead.

Okay, Jack. Do you have any of that CM water—bagged water, left? Over.

Negative. I went up and tried to repressurize the surge tank and get another shot of water, and was able to repressurize the surge tank okay, but there was no water that came out of the water tank.

Yes. We understand that there isn't any more in the potable tank, but we understood that you had put some water from that tank into bags, and I wondered if any of the bags were left.

Negative.

Okay, Jack. Ready to copy?

Okay, Vance. Ready to copy.

Okay. Start at EI minus 6-1/2 hours. You're going to re—get LM pads and CSM pads, and I don't know if you want to copy them or not. This is something I can just read off to you. Over. Without you copying unless you especially want it.

Okay.

Okay. LM pad, SM jettison —

Okay. Go ahead; read which ones we're going to get.

Okay. I'll read them fast first here so you get a general idea. LM pad, service module JETT attitude, Moon viewing attitude, Sun viewing attitude, and LM JETT attitude. The CM pads are coarse aline angles for LM attitudes during Moon and Sun sightings, coarse aline angles for entry REFSMMAT, and CMC angles on entry REFSMMAT for LM JETT. Moon viewing, and entry. Okay. That—That's general pad information. If you want, I'll read it slowly so you can copy it all down; otherwise, I'll go ahead.

I got—I was trying to copy it as you were reading it, Vance. The LM pads are service module jettison attitude, Moon viewing attitude, Sun viewing attitude, and LM jettison attitude. Is that correct?

That's correct. Okay. I'll read the CM pads now, slowly. Coarse aline angles for LM attitudes during Moon and Sun sightings.

Okay. The next coarse aline angles for entry REFSMMAT. Okay. The next, CMC angles on entry REFSMMAT for (1) LM JETT, (2) Moon viewing, (3) entry. Okay. I'll stand by until you read that back.

Okay. The CSM pads will be coarse aline angles for LM attitudes during Moon and Sun sightings. Coarse aline angles for entry REFSMMAT. CMC—CMC angles on entry REFSMMAT for (1) LM jettison, (2) Moon viewing, (3) entry.

Okay. That's correct.

Okay, Jack. Going to hold up 1. All the hordes of people that devised this procedure are going to be coming into the room in a minute, and they'd like to hold up until everybody can listen in.

Get that, Jack?

Okay, Vance. We're ready to go.

Okay. We lost you there briefly while you were in an attitude where we couldn't receive you. Jack, we'd like to hold off for about 5 minutes. We have some more people coming in to listen to this, and it took a lot of people to devise this procedure, and a few people have been testing it out, so we'd like to have them all on hand while we give you the rest.

Okay.

How's the temperature up there, Jack? You guys chopping wood to keep warm?

Deke, it's about 51, I think, or 50 in the LM, and it's about—I don't know—45 or little bit less in the command module.

Oh, it's a nice fall day, huh?

Okay, Vance. While we're waiting, do you have there also what I can expect ground to uplink me?

We'll have that, Jack, but—Stand by for that.

Okay.

Jack, probably—probably the thing to do is to give you all of the checklist, and it will include things like this. Then we'll have a big question and answer session afterwards, if that's okay by you.

Roger. Got that, Jack.

And the LM is pretty well stowed with the exception when we have yet to bring in the probe and the drogue.

Roger. Got that.

Relative to your water situation, Jack, we're going to have a pretty good hack on the LM here in the next few hours, and we anticipate letting you fill your own tanks before we transfer over, so you should be in reasonably good shape there.

Okay. We have a number of juice bags all out and ready to go, and we tried to get the water out of the command module about 20 minutes ago and found out that the command module's potable tank was empty. So we have no bags made up now, so we're dependent on LM water, PLSS water.

Roger. If you feel like trying the PLSS, that's all excess, and you might want to try that at any time. I'm sure it'll taste like PLSS but you might as well try it.
