Ken Mattingly

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

— the rest of that procedure later.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Ken Mattingly

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.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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.

Ken Mattingly

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

Jack Swigert (CMP)

I hope so because tomorrow is examination time.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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.

Ken Mattingly

I can't do much about that.

Ken Mattingly

Some people will do anything to set a record.

Ken Mattingly

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

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Hey, Jack. We'll give you this battery charging backout procedure, and then Deke says you ought to get some sleep. You're going to need it tomorrow.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. I'm ready to copy the backout procedure.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. Panel 3: BATTERY CHARGE, OFF—you've already done that, Jack—next AC INVERTER, INVERTER 2 OFF: Panel 5: MAIN BUS TIE BAT B/C to BAT B/C. Huh? Yes, it's up—the up position. Panel 250: circuit breaker, BAT A POWER ENTRY/ POSTLANDING to open; circuit breaker, BAT B POWER ENTRY/POSTLANDING, open, Panel 5: CB BATTERY CHARGER BAT B CHARGE, open. Okay. I'll let you read that back, Jack.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. BAT CHARGE, OFF; AC INVERTER 2 to OFF; MAIN BUS TIE, BAT B/C to on, up. Panel 250: BAT A, POWER ENTRY AND POSTLANDING, open; CB, BAT B, POWER ENTRY and POSTLANDING, open. Panel 5: CB BAT CHARGER, BAT B CHARGED, open.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. That's correct. Now, that gets you back to the place where you can back out of the—the big battery charging procedure, which you have. And I—I think you have the backout procedure for that, but I'd like to check with you.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, Jack. Do you have that backout procedure in your hand there?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay. Jim will copy that.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. And we are now on ascent water.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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

Jack Swigert (CMP)

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

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Okay, Vance. I'm ready to copy.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

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.”
