Spacelog Apollo 13

I plan to do a final trim—AUTO trim, and then a four-jet translation.

Okay, Jim. For fuel conservation, we'd prefer you to trim it up MIN IMPULSE, and there's really very little trim required; and then go ahead and do it AGS. We're on the expected fuel usage, but we're just being old ladies about it.

Okay. Understand. My only question, Joe, is the fact that both the roll and the yaw needles did not go to null when I did an AUTO maneuver. I'd tried to go manually to the attitude; and then went to AUTO, but the roll and the yaw do not come in at all.

Roger. I haven't got an answer on that yet, but your attitude looks very close.

Okay. I can take it on …

And, Houston, Aquarius. I'm not sure that if I follow and null the needles, that will be the proper attitude.

Okay. Stand by 1, Jim. We're talking about it. It's going to be very close; in any event, close enough.

Okay.

And, Jim, just for your information, I have the entry pad. I have the landing area weather summary, which you probably don't even have to copy, but which I'll read up to you when you're ready; and some stars for Jack that I'm holding for him for later on.

Okay.

And, Joe, Jack says all the injector temperatures, he just checked them again, and they're all over 3.9 —

That they're all over 3.9 now. Thanks a lot.

You can tell him that it's looking good to us. They were even happy with the previous ones.

Okay.

And, my only question, Houston, is do you want me to null the PGNS needle manually?

Okay. Stand by 1 more minute, Jim.

Houston, Aquarius.

Go ahead, Aquarius.

Yes. I guess the basic question is comparing the balls here and out the window it doesn't look too unreasonable, and I guess Jim says the COAS is yawed and roll slightly off from what he might eyeball; but yet, the FDAI air needles for PGNS are showing a full scale left in roll and full scale left in yaw. …

Okay. Go ahead.

Yes. It appears if we track those we, obviously, aren't going to be on the attitude that we burned the last midcourse.

Okay. Well, this attitude we passed you is not quite alined to the terminator, and stand by on this.

How you doing there, Houston?

Oh, we're getting there, Jim. We're—we're all agreed that you're almost, but not quite, in the proper attitude, and we're just trying to get you one firm recommendation on how to proceed from here.

Okay. I have nulled the null—roll needle and the pitch needle now and I'm yawed—rolled left now. I'm rolled left about 9 degrees.

Okay. Understand the needles are nulled.

The yaw isn't, but the pitch and roll are.
