Spacelog Apollo 13

Okay.

And, it's getting a little warmer in here now. Thank you.

Duck blinds are always warmer, Jim, when the birds are flying.

Right.

Jack, I've gotten so used to flying attitude with the TTCA, I won't be able to do it normally.

Say again, Jim.

Aquarius, we see your glycol temperature getting up there. If you want to make it a little warmer, or you can try putting your SUIT TEMP valve to HIGH, if you haven't already got it there.

Aquarius, Houston. On panel 16, we'd like for you to close the CROSS TIE BAL LOADS breaker, please.

Okay. It's closed.

And it looks like we could support a—an alinement in a few minutes, if you'd be willing to go ahead with that.

Jack, it sounds good. I think from our position here, we know where the Sun and Moon are and it's strictly going to be a pitch maneuver. But I think we can save some gas. I'll see what we can do.

Houston, Aquarius.

Go ahead, Aquarius.

We're all set to go. Are you going to ship us up a REFSMMAT?

Yes, we are. Stand by 1.

Okay.

The Sun feels wonderful. It's shining in the rendezvous window.

And, Aquarius, before we can ship you a load, we'll have to have, on panel 11, under COMM, the UPDATA LINK circuit breaker closed.

It's closed.

Roger. It'll be a few —

… closed … -

Okay. And it'll be a few minutes yet, Jim. We're still cranking it up.

Okay. Stay with it, Jack, and I'll go back to data.

Roger.

I got BAT in about 33-1/3 percent on that uplink. Too fast alarm.

Say again on that, Fred.

I just got another uplink too fast when I took the DATA switch back off—It's happening, I guess, about a third of the time.

Aquarius, Houston. We're ready with your load if you'll give us DATA please.

Aquarius, Houston. After the uplink, you'll have to set the drift and the REFSMMAT flag as on page 8 of the contingency book, steps 5 and 6.

Okay. Are you done with the computer now, Jack?

Negative. We'll give you the word.

Roger. Aquarius, we're through with it, it's your computer.

And, Aquarius, Houston; take option 1 on a P52 when you get to it. And I've got some ball angles for a Sun and Moon.

And have you got some plan in vectors for us, Jack?

Okay, Fred-o. For the Sun, I've got 246; for the Moon I've got 250.
