Spacelog Apollo 13

I guess you're right.

Now wait a minute, Jack.

Okay. So, we'll be going to the service module SEP attitude, at which time we'll do a docked coarse aline, and -

Then you want—You want Jack then to do a P527

The way we'll do that in our time line Jim, is to go ahead and do the service module JETT and then we'll just stay in that attitude and when it comes time in our time line as we've outlined, to bring the platform up, we'll proceed with the P52—coarse aline, and then the P52.

Okay. Are we going to use the same techniques that we normally do for LM activation? In other words, I try to maintain an attitude, and give him some angles and then—Are you going to give him the angles? Then he does the 52.

Basically, it's the same procedure just reversed, Jim.

Okay.

Another nice thing about this, is it's one we've done before.

And, Aquarius. One thing, however, that we do not plan to do is to proceed with the command module powerup prematurely.

Roger.

Okay, Houston. This is Jack.

Go ahead, Jack.

Okay. I just wanted to talk over with you, it looks like we've had some changes in the flight plan here, due to Jim's P52. Do you have—Can you talk over with me what your plans are?

Roger, Jack. Since we've got the PGNS up, we plan to use that information to give the CMC a dock coarse aline, and then we're in the service module jettison attitude, we'll wait until it comes time to power up the CMC, and we'll get the CMC a dock coarse aline, and we'll pick some good stars to give you a fine aline with, and it looks like we can pick some stars that are looking away from the Sun in which you can find in that service module jettison attitude; so, we'll save you quite a bit of gas: and save you some time in a very busy time.

Hey, that sounds good. Really fine.

Keeping warm?

Hey, it's warmed up here now. It's almost comfortable.

I'm looking out the window now, Jack, and that Earth is whistling in like a high-speed freight train.

We're clocking you at 48 000 miles and coming in at about 9000.

I don't think there's many LMs that have seen it like this. I'm still looking for Fra Mauro and Cone Crater.

You're going the wrong way, son.

Okay, Jack. It looks—just looking over what I may expect here, it looks like I'm just going to get three angles to do a VERB 41 NOUN 20, right?

That's what it looks like from here, Jack. It's pretty much the opposite of the LM activation procedure where we do the dock coarse aline.

Yes, except in a way we did a lot of VERB 06 NOUN 20, ENTERS, simultaneously, and then you all shipped him up post-torque values. You're not going to do anything like that are you?

Say again, please, Jack.

Okay. During the activation part, we do a lot of VERB 06 NOUN 20, ENTERS simultaneously, reading you out the difference in the angles, and then MSFN furnishes the post-torquing angles, in order to get the platform fine alined. Do you plan something like that or just three coarse aline angles.

Jack, we're going to give you three coarse aline angles, and then you can go right to your checklist as we're giving it, and start in with the VERB 40 NOUN 20.

And, Jack, how do you read?

Fine—square.

I was around shooting pictures of all the debris inside here, before we left, and I inadvertently changed the settings on the DC command module Reseau camera that we need for the service module pictures. I wonder if FAO can dig them out again—what we need, f-stop and speed.

Okay, Fred. Stand by.

Fred, in regards to the camera settings, for black-and-white 3400 film, the settings were f:5.6 at 1/250th. Over.

Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston.

Okay, Jim. I got MCC-7 pad when you're ready to copy. Over.

Okay. Stand by.

Okay. We're in luck, I got one pad left.

Okay. We'll take care not to change this one. Ready to go?
