And, Jack, you can tell Owen Morris that the RCS SYSTEM A/B 2 QUAD 1 breaker is still nicely in.

Aquarius, Houston. We think we've figured out a way to save you some time at a very critical—very full schedule. And that's by doing a docked coarse aline, since we got the LM up now. That would save you a maneuver or two.

Houston, Aquarius. It seemed to me a docked coarse aline might be quicker for—for Jack.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Yes. We think it would be, and it'd save quite a bit of time at a place where you're going to be pretty busy. Also save you some petrol.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. We're looking at doing this in the service module SEP attitude, and the optics will be pointed away from the Sun. So it should be a good attitude for a P52.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. So, we'll be going to the service module SEP attitude, at which time we'll do a docked coarse aline, and -
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
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.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
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.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay.

And, Aquarius. One thing, however, that we do not plan to do is to proceed with the command module powerup prematurely.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
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?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
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.

I'm looking out the window now, Jack, and that Earth is whistling in like a high-speed freight train.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
I don't think there's many LMs that have seen it like this. I'm still looking for Fra Mauro and Cone Crater.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
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?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
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.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
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?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
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 Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
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.

Fred Haise (LMP)

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