Spacelog Apollo 13

Are you talking about ball theta angles?

Negative. I was—I was reporting the code for NOUN 70.

They're in the computer, Fred.

Okay, Houston. We have the Sun marks and I'll start up at pitch now to go over and pick up the Moon.

Houston, Aquarius.

Go ahead.

Just as a note of interest in this dock configurations for P52s, the command module docking probe is right down the middle of—the docking light, rather, is right down the middle of the detent. And when the Sun flashes on, it really makes it difficult.

Just like the simulator.

Yes. It was good training.

Well, Jack, that's what it says the torquing angles are.

We haven't got them yet.

Aquarius, hold on to torquing angles, please.

We're doing that.

Jim, the reason for the delay is that we're not seeing the data yet. We're having to check a point here; and as soon as they come up, we'll let you know what to do with them.

Okay. We had a large NOUN 105 of—what—112, and our torquing angles, Jack, are minus 01713, minus 03278, minus 01395.

Roger. Minus 01713, and we see them now.

Aquarius, torque them.

Okay.

At 35:04:25.

Aquarius, do you have a star close by there you could check?

I'll look around, Jack. I was just trying to get a check on the Moon, again, to see if those angles were indeed true, and we got the Moon back again and centered.

Okay, Jack. What you're reading now the angles? We had the Moon centered, and it's pretty close to what we have on the 8 ball, I guess. Close enough for any entry that we'd like to do.

Roger. And I'm told that Denubla—Denebola and Regulus are nearby if you wanted to make a star check.

Okay. I'm going to start pitching around again, and I'll see if I can pick them up. I have Orion out here to my left a little bit, but it's pretty close to the—oh, here. I've got Sirius. That's a nice one. How about that?

Aquarius, is Jack sitting on the rumble seat there?

He was. He just headed upstairs to take another look around.

Okay. I got a minor addition to the entry checklist for him. This time it's in the —

Okay. Stand —

— entry book.

Okay. Stand by 1. He has that in his pocket.

What I'm doing, Jack, is just—I'm pitching over now. I'm going to pick up another star. Sirius was just too far off. I thought I was going to use too much gas getting there.

Roger.

By the time I get alined in the—in the AOT—be nice if we didn't have Odyssey attached, we could just AUTO—AUTO maneuver over to these things.

Looks to us like you've got her alined, Jim, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Yes. I'm pretty confident that the platform's fairly decent.

Aquarius, Houston. We need an E MOD VERB 74, when you've got a chance, please.

Okay, Jack. On your entry checklist, on page 2-5. Down there on step 9, where it says 152 degrees pitch at .05g, adjacent to that, so that Recovery can see you better on the way down, we want you to turn your S-BAND, POWER AMPLIFIER to HIGH. Over.

Okay. Turn S-BAND, POWER AMP to HIGH at .05g time.

That's affirmative.

Okay. Is that it?

Okay. Readback correct.

And, Aquarius; Houston. I have a service module SEP pad if you want to copy that, now. Over.

Say again, Joe.

Roger, Fred. I have a service module SEP pad with the attitudes. You don't need a pad sheet for it; just any old blank sheet will do.

Okay. I was going to say I don't—We don't hardly carry a service module SEP pad.

Yes, we'll have to change that.

Okay. I'm using a P27 here. Go ahead.

Okay. The pad reads as follows and then I'll repeat the angles for you, so you can copy them. The following MCC-7, maneuver the LM to the following FDAI attitudes: roll, 000; pitch, 91.3; yaw, 000. Now do you want those attitudes repeated, Fred?

Okay. Following MCC-7 we're to maneuver to the following attitudes: roll, 000; pitch, 091.3; yaw, 000.

Okay. That's correct. And the last part of the pad is at GET 138:10:00, which is EI minus 4.5 hours, execute a push of 0.5 feet per second, four jet, plus-X; perform SM SEP; then execute pull, 0.5 feet per second, four jet, minus-X. Over.

Houston, Aquarius. Jack's entering the command module, now.

Okay, Jim.

Okay. That last Joe was execute at the GET at 138:10:00 which is EI minus 4-1/2 hours; execute a push of 0.5 feet per second, four-jet ullage; then execute SM SEP followed by a pull of 0.5 feet per second, with respect to a nomenclature on the TTCA; I think we really need an up of 0.5 and then a down of 0.5.

That's correct, Fred.

Okay, Aquarius. The last pad I had for you right now is the LM jettison pad. Similar to the—Stand by 1, Aquarius.

Okay, Aquarius; Houston. Request P00 and DATA for a data load. Over.

You got it.

Okay. And I was about to say the LM jettison pad is similar to the SM SEP pad, Fred, when you're ready to copy.

Just about the same number of lines?

Yes.

Okay. Go ahead, Joe.

Okay, Fred. Prior to 141:40:00, which is EI minus 1 hour, maneuver the LM to the following FDAI angles: roll, 130; pitch, 125; yaw, 012.4. The corresponding CSM gimbal angles will be roll, 291; pitch, 196; yaw, 045, and that's the pad. Over. And the computer is yours, Aquarius.

Thank you.

Okay. A LM SEP pad prior to 141:40:00, EI minus 1 hour, maneuver to following attitudes: roll, 130; pitch, 125; yaw, 012.4. The corresponding CSM gimbal angles are roll, 291; pitch, 196; yaw, 045.

Readback correct.

Aquarius, Houston.

Go ahead, Joe.

Okay. We're so efficient down here that we got an entry pad ready, Fred. Do you want to copy that for Jack? Over.

Stand by. I'll have to try to borrow his book from him.

Roger.

Can we hold off on that a little bit, Joe?

Oh, absolutely, Jim. We're well ahead. I just wanted to let you know that we had it.

Okay. I hope that when you send up all those uplinks to Jack that you could get them up to him quickly.

We're shooting for less than 5 minutes.

Sounds good.

And are you still using the computer?

That's a negative, Fred. The computer is yours.

And, Fred, the computer has your target load in.

Okay.

Houston, Aquarius.

Go ahead, Aquarius.

Okay. I just want to clarify one thing on the LM SEP pad. It appears to me that in my configuration, I could probably use a VERB 49 loading in 622, yaw, pitch, and roll, in that order; and then being able to fly out at 5018 in roll, pitch, and yaw. Is that correct?

Stand by; I'll verify it, Jim.

Okay, Joe. And while you're doing that I've got a question about the command module checklist.

Okay, Jack. Go ahead with your question.

Okay. Either I copied the circuit breaker wrong, or—I can't read it. Comes down just about the—oh, about the 20th one down, after panel 276, where it says CB INSTRUMENTATION POWER CONTROL 3 and 4, open. The next circuit breaker on panel 5—I—Would you give that to me again?

Roger. That's CB ESSENTIAL INSTRUMENTATION POWER, MAIN B. Over. And it's, closed.
