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.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
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.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Fred. We did tell you to do that awhile ago, and it doesn't matter; you're looking good.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
And I'm pitching up to the proper attitude.

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.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Jim.

I know you're busy, but when Jack gets a chance, we'd like BAT C current and MAIN A voltage in the command module.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. I've pitched up to about 180 degrees now, and do you want me to go to the LM SEP attitude for his alinement?
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
And, Jim, when you have leisure to copy, I have your NOUN 46 and NOUN 47 DAP data load numbers.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
And now, Houston, do you still think that AGS is going to be less expensive than PGNS mode?
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Stand by. Jack's on the line and he says that he can't get the computer to go into standby.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Have him tell us what he's—what he looks at. And remind him that he won't see the light. He won't see the STANDBY light —
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Joe. Okay, I get a flashing 37, I am in PROGRAM 06. There is no STANDBY light, but when I ENTER, I don't get the three balls 62 displayed like I'm supposed to.
- Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Copy that, Jim. Looks good. Do you know whether Jack got any pictures out of window 5? Was it still fogged up? Over.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
I don't think so. I think he came right down here, because I think he saw it first in the—in the LM.
- Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Good deal. And whenever you get cleaned up, we got the entry pad and the landing area summary for you.
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. Doing a VERB 37, ENTER; 06, ENTER does bring up the three balls 62 display, but I can't PROCEED on it on either DSKY and a VERB 33 doesn't work either.
