Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, Fred-o. Okay. This is “Entry, LM PREP.” Starts EI minus 6 hours. At that time, you power up the ACS. I think I'll give you a line at a time and, when I hear you say okay on that, I'll go to the next. That sound reasonable?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. I'll go hot mike briefly.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Hey, how do you read now?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. I read you okay, Fred. Okay. Battery 5 —

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Battery 5 NORMAL FEED ON is the first step.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, Vance. That—Go ahead.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. Use modified LM DPS/RCS 30-minute activation checklist.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

EI minus 5 hours. Midcourse-7, if required. Next: LM preentry procedure. And, Fred, the time on LM preentry procedure is just —

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. The time on the LM preentry procedure is just as soon as you finish midcourse-7, or 5 hours -

Fred Haise (LMP)

All right, go ahead, Vance.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. I've got this TEI minus 5 hours, MCC-7 if required, and now you're going to start me a new procedure called LM preentry procedure. Go ahead.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. Maneuver to SM SEP attitude. Configure for CSM hotfire.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Under that, DEADBAND, MAX; and ATTITUDE CONTROL, three, to PULSE.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Perform CSM hotfire. Maneuver back to SM SEP attitude.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

And under that, ATTITUDE CONTROL, PITCH and ROLL, PULSE; YAW, MODE CONTROL.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. Next, EI minus 4 hours, 30 minutes. Configure for CM/SM SEP.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. Hold on a minute.

Fred Haise (LMP)

That was EIEI minus 4-1/2?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. That's EI minus 4-1/2 hours, configure for SM SEP.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

That's affirm, and under that, BALANCE COUPLE, ON.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

AGS 404, plus 0; 405, plus 0; 406, plus 0; and 470, read out.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Translate plus-X at 0.5 feet per second.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Then CM/SM SEP. After SEP, null 470 —

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

ATTITUDE CONTROL, three of them, to PULSE.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Pitch to acquire service module for photos.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. Note: use ACA for control.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. We can use the ACA now for control.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. EI minus 3 hours, maneuver and ATT HOLD for Moon view, attitude —

Fred Haise (LMP)

Wait a minute. Was that maneuver in ATT HOLD for Moon view. Is that right?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

For—That's affirm.—For Moon view attitude until CM platform release.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. It says maneuver in ATT HOLD for Moon view attitude until CM platform release.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

That's affirm. Better worded, it would have been maneuver and hold in attitude for Moon view, et cetera.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. That's mainly for Jack to be able to get it in the optics, you mean.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Yes, that's correct. Okay, Fred —

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Could you give us a readback on everything up to this point?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. I'll go back to NORMAL VOICE. It might—Or is this pretty clear?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. The master title, “Entry, LM PREP, EI minus 6 hours.” First, BAT 5 NORMAL FEED, ON; second, use modified LM DPS/RCS, 30-minute activation checklist. Next, is at TEI minus 5 hours, MCC-7, if required. Now, we have a LM preentry procedure. First, we maneuver to service module SEP attitude. Second, configure for CSM hotfire. Under that, DEADBAND MAX, and ATTITUDE CONTROL, three, to PULSE. Thirdly, perform CSM hotfire. Fourth, we—The LM maneuvers back to SM SEP attitude, with ATTITUDE CONTROLs, PITCH and ROLL to PULSE, ATTITUDE CONTROL, YAW, to MODE CONTROL. Now, you got that so far, Vance?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

That's correct so far, Fred-o.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. At EI minus 4-1/2 hours, configure for SM SEP. First, BALANCE COUPLE, ON. Secondly, zero the counters in AGS; 404, 405, 406, plus 0; read out 470. Thirdly, translate plus-X to 0.5 foot per second. Fourth, CM/SM SEP. Fifth, after SEP, null 470 to 0. Sixth, ATTITUDE CONTROL, three, to PULSE. Seventh, pitch to acquire service module for photos. And a note, use the ACA for control. Last, we had—you gave me was TEI minus 3 hours. Maneuver in ATT HOLD for Moon view until the CM platform release.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, Fred. Only—Only a minor point that we just picked up. At the very top, EI minus 6 hours, the title is “power up,” above BAT 5 NORMAL FEED, ON.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. The title above BAT 5 NORMAL FEED, ON, is “power up.”

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. And on the last, it was maneuver and ATT HOLD for Moon view attitude until CM platform release. I think that's what you read. Okay. Ready to go on? EI minus—Are you there?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. Next is—Okay. Next is TEI minus what, Vance?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

It's—It's EI minus 2-1/2 hours, Fred.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. EI minus 2-1/2.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. The title, “Power removal from CM LM umbilical.”

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. “Power removal from CM LM umbilical.”
