Spacelog Apollo 13

All right, sir. Okay, Jack, and they'd like us to stand by just a second.

Jack, would you get the BATTERY CHARGER, OFF, please. And we'll send you —

Okay.

— the rest of that procedure later.

You mean there's more? Okay, in work. BATTERY CHARGER is going OFF.

Right.

Okay, Vance. Okay—I don't think you've given me the backout procedure, have you, for the battery chargers?

That's negative. Wait. All we want to do, Jack, is say BATTERY CHARGE OFF at the moment. We'll complete that procedure as soon as you are through with Ken completely.

Okay, Vance. The BATTERY CHARGER's OFF, and I'm ready to continue with Ken.

Okay, Jack. And we'll get the backout to you after that.

Okay, Jack. It looks like we've closed up the loose ends here. Amazingly enough, out of all that stuff, it looks like we only generated one question on the floor, and we'll research that one. We'll even let you guess what it might have been. If you have any questions, after you mull it over, why, we're always available. Just ask us what you're thinking about.

Okay. That's what we're going to do. We're going to wait until the LM people get theirs, and then we're going to discuss it and coordinate things here, and make sure that—that we don't have any interface problems. And, if we have any more questions, we'll be coming back at you.

Okay. We did run the thing integrated, so we think we've got all the little surprises ironed out for you.

I hope so because tomorrow is examination time.

Roger.

Ken, this is Jim.

Yes, sir.

Appreciate the work you've done, and Jack says that it's going to be hard to beat his record about saving SM RCS fuel all the way there and back.

I can't do much about that.

Some people will do anything to set a record.

Hey, Jim, you even did good on service module fuel this time.

Yes. We're coming back with a full load almost of both RCS and SPS, that's—That's pretty much of a record.

Okay. Did you want to put Fred-o on, or somebody to copy the LM—the LM side of the house.

Hey, Jack. Don't wake him up yet. Stand by 1.

He's—He's awake.

Okay. Just to verify. It starts out panel 3, BATTERY CHARGE switch, OFF; AC INVERTER 2, OFF; panel 5, MAIN BUS TIE, BAT A/C, on, up, et cetera.

Roger. Continues CB BAT A, POWER ENTRY/ POSTLANDING, open; INVERTER POWER 2, MAIN B, open; and then you reverse the steps that you had for entering the procedure.

Yes, that's fine. Okay. And we have one other comment regarding the systems checklist, and stand by 1, and that'll—that'll wrap it up for us. Oh, a new item came in, Jack. We need to switch to ascent water, and I have a three-step procedure for you, if you're ready to copy.

Okay. Jim will copy that.

Okay. DESCENT WATER valve, CLOSE. ASCENT WATER valve to CLOSE, and WATER TANK SELECT valve to ASCENT.

Okay, Vance. DESCENT WATER valve, closed; ASCENT WATER valve, closed; and WATER SELECT TANK to ASCENT. Is that correct?

WATER TANK SELECT valve, ASCENT. That's correct, Jim.

And we'll proceed with that right now, and how about still drinking descent water?

Jim, we understand that you should be able to continue drinking, it.

Okay. We switched to ascent water, but we'll probably have to have the descent water valve back open up again to drink water.

That's affirm. That's the one thing you'll have to do is, whenever you want to drink out of the descent tank, is open the descent valve—the DESCENT WATER valve momentarily.

Okay. And we are now on ascent water.

Okay; okay. And I need Jack back again, please.

Okay, Vance. I'm here, and you have something in the systems checklist.

That's right. Refer to S/2-6. This—Really what we're talking about, Jack, is the hatch integrity check decal. And I think it'll be easiest, if you'll open to S/2-6 and I explain it to you.

Okay, Vance. I'm ready to copy.

Okay. This will—This just involves changes. Look down to the third line where it says “TUNNEL VENT valve, TUNNEL VENT for 30 seconds;” cross out “30 seconds” and cross out the two lines below that. In other words, “LM CSM DELTA-P. Check DELTA-P and recycle to TUNNEL VENT.”
