Spacelog Apollo 13

Okay. And the first thing you want to do under “EMS initialization,” is circuit breakers EMS, that's two of them, to close.

Okay. CB EMS, two, to close.

That's correct. All right. Line 4 or step 4, where it shows “CM RCS check.” That occurs at minus 04:30.

Okay. Minus 04:30.

All right. Under “CM RCS checks,” the fourth line down says “MANUAL ATTITUDE, three, to MINIMUM IMPULSE.” We'll have to use “ACCEL COMMAND” and the reason for that, Jack, is we don't have the SPS powered up so there's no minimum impulse generator.

Okay. MANUAL ATTITUDE, three, to ACCEL COMMAND.

That's correct. And on the same page 2-1, strike out the last three lines, starting with “RCS transfer to service module.”

Right. The last three lines are scratched out. We ain't got one of those things.

That's correct. Okay, let's flip to page 2-2 and strike out the first two lines.

Okay. Now wait a second. I need to give you volts and amps, Ken.

All right. Go ahead.

Okay. It's 39.6, 1.12.

Sounds like you're getting there. Okay. I believe we scratched out the first two lines on 2-2. Now, we're—right below that, it says “Separation checklist.” So we're going to just delete that whole thing; it's included in the notes I gave you.

Okay. It's included in the notations.

All right. Line number 7. It says “Maneuver to horizon check attitude.” We're going to call this the “Moon-check attitude” and this is the one we discussed, Jack. The angle of 265 is not correct. I'll have one of those for you first thing in the morning.

Okay.

Okay. And at the bottom of the page, step number 1. That will be at EI minus 19 minutes, and we're off and running through a normal sequence of events.

Okay. That sounds good. Ken, I guess if you've read this thing—Is it a comfortable time line? Any areas where you had problems with?

Jack, it is very comfortable. We've run it several times now and, in fact, it's being run right now, again. And we've run it both here at Houston and at the Cape. The only place where you might find that you need to stay ahead of things is during the platform-alinement period, when you're getting ready to close out the LM and then once you get into the command module and jettison the LM, why you're back on a very comfortable time. And, of course, we'll be watching and anything we can do, like keeping track of time for you, we'll remind you of that as we go along.

Hey, that would be good—that would be good, Ken.

Okay. Let me emphasize, Jack, that 2-1/2 hours is the earliest time we can start in on that powerup stuff. Everything else you can do the way you normally would, where you get as far ahead of the game as you can. But the 2-1/2-hour time is based on saving command module consumables. And if you do that, why we're fat; we've got plenty of time to give you some fans on the water even. So that's the one point you don't want to start early on. I do have a couple of more lines to run through on the entry checklist and two pages in the G&C. And I think that will clean us up.

Okay, Ken. And G&C checklist now?

Let me finish a couple more things in the entry book. You still got that?

Yes. Go ahead.

Okay. On—These are just cleanup items, Jack. On page 2-3, it lists how you separate, from the CM/SM SEP and all that, so, obviously, if we're on step 5 at 43 minutes down—that's all deleted. And that gets deleted all the way over onto page 2-4, up to the line where it says “15 minutes.” And at that point, we pick back up and everything. From 15 minutes down is valid.

Okay. Delete item 5 down to the point where it says “Minus 15 minutes.”

Okay. When COMM is lost, SCE POWER OFF, PMP POWER OFF.

That's correct, Jack, and that completes the entry checklist. Let's look at the G&C book.

Okay. Ready to copy.

Okay. Let's go to page 2-1.

Okay. Go ahead.

Okay, Jack. The second line under “IMU powerup” says “FDAI POWER to BOTH,” and we're going to make that a “1.” The reason we're doing that is, again, to conserve power. There's no reason to drive the second FDAI before we get that information to put on it.

Okay. “FDAI POWER to 1.”

All right. That's correct. On page 2-2.

Go ahead.

Okay. Under CMC powerup, line—or step 2 says “Flashing 3700, ENTER.” The time we're going to use this, Jack, is going to be when you've just brought the computer up and it has a state vector in it that's way back many, many hours ago. So we want to do a VERB 96, ENTER to stop the integration to keep it from just sitting there ambling along. And when the ground gives you a new state vector, why then we can go through P00 and we'll be back in business.

Okay. You want me to go to VERB 37, ENTER; 00, ENTER; and then do a VERB 96?

When you come up, I guess you're going to—once you get the CMC powered up, you're probably going to be going—you're going to come up in a flashing 37, and if you'll just do a VERB 96, ENTER right there, that will take care of it.

Okay.

All right. And the last one I have for you is on page 2-4.

Okay. Go ahead.

Okay. Under the SCS powerup, the first line says “AUTO RCS SELECT, 16, to OFF.” Okay. You can just delete that part. On the fifth line, it says “Circuit breaker SCS LOGIC POWER,” that's really “LOGIC BUS, four of them, to closed.” The DELTA-V CG is not important since we are not burning the engine. The “SIGNAL CONDITIONER/DRIVER BIAS POWER” lists “Two to AC 1.” We are going to make that just one of them; make it “SIGNAL CONDITION/DRIVER BIAS POWER, one, to AC 1.” The “BMAG POWER,” which is the third line from the bottom, says “BMAG POWER, two, ON;” we are going to make that just one. We'll bring up number 1, and we'll make “FDAI POWER, number 1” and the last line “AUTO RCS SELECT, 16, enable,” you can strike that off and replace it with “BMAG MODE, three of them, to RATE 1.” You want to try reading that back?

Okay. Delete “AUTO RCS SELECT, 16, OFF.” Change “CB LOGIC POWER” to “LOGIC THRUST POWER—CBS CS LOGIC THRUST, four, to closed.” Delete “DELTA-V CG,” coming down here “SIGNAL CONDITIONER/DRIVER BIAS POWER, one, AC 1; BMAG POWER, 1, to ON,” and it's the number 1 BMAG. “FDAI POWER to 1; BMAG MODE, three, to RATE 1,” deleting the “AUTO RCS SELECT, 16, to enable.”

That's correct. You've got them all, Jack. Very good. Thank you.

Thank you. This does it, huh?

Yes, sir. Let's see—just a second—let me check on this hatch and integrity check maybe I can tell you something about that. And I do have an answer to your LM power question about the umbilicals. The umbilicals will be unpowered according to the LM procedures, so if you'd like to disconnect them, you can.

Okay. I think we will.
