Okay. Here's the big story. Your attitude really looks quite good except in roll, and we'd like you to do the following. In MIN impulse PGNS, we'd like you to trim to zero pitch, which is about where you are now; to 008 degrees in roll, which is about 16 degrees from your present roll attitude; and to zero degrees in yaw, which is about where you are now. Then we'd like you to do the body-axis aline 400 plus 5, 400 plus 0. PITCH and ROLL to PULSE, select AGS, do the burn in AGS. How does that sound? Over.

Just for your information, we see 3.0 in register 1. We read you up 3.1 on the pad. The actual DELTA-V was 3.05, and they warned me that it might come out 3.0.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Aquarius, Houston. Your attitude looks real good. We will give you a mark at 10 minutes to the burn, which is in 28 seconds.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Right. I was looking at the wrong clock, and we're a little under 10 minutes now. I'll give you a mark at 9 minutes. Okay?
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
And, Aquarius; Houston. Roger that. And we're standing by for your body-axis aline and your zeroing 404, 405, 406, going to 470.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. You'd asked—you'd asked me before, Joe, to go 400 plus 3, which I did. I assume you've changed the script again.

Okay, Fred. We did tell you to do that awhile ago, and it doesn't matter; you're looking good.

Aquarius, Houston. AFT OMNI.

Okay, Aquarius; Houston. That attitude looks pretty good. How's Jack getting along?
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Again for fuel-consumption reasons, we'd like you to go back to the AGS mode you were in rather than PGNS ATT HOLD. Over.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. I'm in PGNS MINIMUM IMPULSE right now while we're firing. And I'll go back to the AGS mode.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Soon as we get rid of the service module, Joe, I think I'll be able to maneuver a lot better.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
I think so, but let me check. Aquarius, Houston. That's affirmative. You can jettison the service module when you are ready; no big rush, but any time.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. We recommend that you use the AGS for the separation maneuver, because we'd like to get the proper weight in for the DAP before we use the PGNS again.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Beautiful, beautiful. And for you information, Jim, you'll be coming up on an RCS caution light for helium. No sweat. Over.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Right by the—Look out there, will you? Right by the high gain antenna, the whole panel is blown out, almost from the base to the engine.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
That's the way it looks; unless that's just a dark brown streak. It's really a mess.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. We'd like you to get some pictures, but we want you to conserve RCS. Don't make unnecessary maneuvers.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
And, Jim; Houston. In particular, of course, we don't want any translation maneuvers.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Right on that. Joe, you realize that when I went up to the SM SEP attitude, I had to use TTCA to do it.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, Joe, I'm now looking down the SPS bell, and it looks—looks okay on the inside; maybe it is just a streak.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Copy that, Fred. Was the bell deformed on the outside or just nicked or what?
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
I think the explosion, from what I could see, Joe, had—had stained it. I don't know whether it did any actual deformation or not.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
And, Joe, looks like a lot of—a lot of debris is just hanging out the side near the S-band antenna.
