I want to ask him why all these steps just to get rid of a LM that's going to burn up in a half hour. Seems ridiculous. God damn it. Too many guys —
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. The last one was SUIT FAN, OFF. Hey, Jim, Deke said he thought you were asleep.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Circuit breakers, panel—circuit breaker panel 16 rather. ECS, CABIN REPRESS to open.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Right. Okay. That's all for the ECS. Next, ATTITUDE CONTROL, three, to MODE CONTROL.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Oh, stand by 1, Fred. We'd like to—change the position of that ATTITUDE CONTROL, three, MODE CONTROL to be just under CM free. That's a more convenient time.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Yes, I agree. Okay. Under, it'll be my item B, after verify CM free, it's ATT CONTROL, three, to MODE CONTROL.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
If I don't sound too clear, it's because I'm holding a flashlight between my teeth.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Now again down at the bottom beneath ECS, verify transfer list.
Expand selection up Contract selection down Close -
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Transfer yourself to the CM. Or rather, IVT, that's the commander to the CM, and close hatch.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. That's all for the time line, Fred. Now the contingency checklist, if it's handy.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Now, at this point, you have this section marked up already, so what I give you now represents additional DELTAs to your previously marked up checklist.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. That's all right. I've got a different color pen, so it'll show up nicely. Go ahead.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Do you mean, under IVT to the LM, number 4, RCS SYSTEM A/B-2, QUADs 4, AUTO? That 4?
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
That's affirm. Yes. It's the—the only 4 on that page 24 and it's a—presently has after it RCS SYSTEM A/B-2, QUADs, 4, to AUTO. Under that put —
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. At the bottom of the page—Okay. You already have that. MODE CONTROL, both, OFF.
Expand selection down Contract selection up -
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. First row is okay as is. Second row, under FLIGHT DISPLAYS, GASTA should be closed.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. That's all on the second line. Now the third line, under STABILITY and CONTROL, ATCA (PGNS) to closed.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
That's all on that line. Fourth line, near the right side, LGC STANDBY to close. And —
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
That's correct. Okay. Fourth row is okay as is. Now we would like to add—add in a late arrival to row two. Under —
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. FLIGHT DISPLAYS, MISSION TIMER, closed. We can look at the ghosties right to the end.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Yes, that's right. Okay. That's all for that page, Fred. That should add up to six circuit breakers all closed, on that page.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Have we looked seriously now at just the essential things required to make a safe LM jettison? We're not—I don't think we have the time to really do any engineering data that people might want to look at as this thing goes into the atmosphere.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Well, Jim. I—I think that that was what everybody aimed for, and people down here feel that it's the essentials, that it's what you need.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Well, we'll do everything you think is essential, but I just don't want to be throwing switches at the last minute. What we're really thinking about, getting that command module in good shape.
-
Tom Stafford
-
Hey, Jim. This is Tom. The only reason we're bringing up the PGNS is to have another reference system just to control the LM when you jettison the thing. Over.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. Okay, Tom. It's—I thought the—an AGS ATT HOLD would have been sufficient for this, when we first thought about this.
-
Tom Stafford
-
Yes. I agree. But we decided just in case we have any glitch with the AGS, we want to make sure we get that LM off in a good shape. And I agree with you on keeping out all the garbage on it.
