Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
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.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Think it zinged the SPS engine bell, huh?

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)
-
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.
