Spacelog Apollo 13

Good show. You ready to copy?

Go ahead.

Okay. CSM coarse aline angles: ROLL, plus 298.95; PITCH, plus 271.30; YAW, plus 000.20.

Okay. The command module angles will be: ROLL, 298.95; PITCH, 271.30; and YAW, 000.20.

Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston; Aquarius here.

Okay, Jim. We're getting about 9 minutes from the commencement of command module powerup, and we wanted to just mention to you for Jack's benefit that, although the batteries are looking real good, in case they're cool and have a little difficulty hacking the load just at first, we'd like him to monitor main bus voltage to 24 volts or above during the powerup procedure and, if it falls below, we'll have a couple of circuit breakers for him that—that will solve the problem.

Okay. And I take it you're also monitoring main bus voltage.

Negative. Not in the command module at this time, because we don't call up telemetry until a little bit later on.

Ah so. That's right; I forgot. Okay. I will tell him.

Aquarius, Houston.

Go ahead.

Okay. You're GO to start powering up the command module.

Right-o. We're starting now.

Okay.

Okay. We have LM power breakers.

Okay. Houston, you're looking at it.

Okay. Roger. Stand by.

Okay. Press on, Fred.

Okay.

Okay. That's—That's it, Joe.

Aquarius, Houston.

Go ahead.

Roger. We have command module AOS. Request OMNI Charlie in the CM. Over.

OMNI Charlie. Okay. Standby.

Coming up.

Okay.

That was sent through a new onboard communication system known as yelling through the tunnel.

(Laughter) The 1MC.

I've got Fred up there with Jack now helping to power up the CM, and I'm staying down in good old Aquarius.

Aquarius, Houston.

Go ahead.

Just to inform you. We've got data from the—from Odyssey, and it looks good.

Hey, great

Houston, Aquarius. Odyssey is trying to call. Can you read them?

Negative. Don't read Odyssey yet; has he got his intercom panel configured?

Okay, Odyssey; Houston. Select your own best OMNI and then repeat VERB 74 ENTER. Over.

Okay, Odyssey; Houston. We are locked on solid high bit rate now; repeat the VERB 74 ENTER. Over. Delay that; hold the VERB 74 1 minute. Wait.

You're too late, Joe; it's coming down.

Okay, Odyssey, Houston.

Go ahead.

Okay. We are going to skip the E-MOD dump for right now and get the uplink in.

Okay. P00 and ACCEPT.

Okay. P00 and ACCEPT. And, Jack, you can go ahead with the IMU and optics powerup. Over.

Roger. It's in work.

… unable to read any BAT B voltage. We do have current, though, on BAT B.

Okay. Copy that, Fred.

Why don't you check?

You're looking good on the ground, Odyssey.

Okay.

And I think the reason you don't read voltage is it's a circuit breaker that we have called as being out.

All right.

Odyssey, Houston. The uplink is going well. We have one more load to get in.

Is the computer mine now, Joe?

Stand by 1 second.

Okay, Jack. We'd like the VERB 74 ENTER, and it'll take less than a minute for E-MOD dump.

Coming down.

And, Jack, Houston. It'll be 100 seconds on that.

Okay. Can I go to BLOCK on the UP TELEMETRY?

Not just yet, Jack.

Odyssey, Houston. You can go to UP TEL BLOCK. Over,

UP TEL BLOCK and the computer is mine.

Not yet, Jack. We're still in the E-MOD dump. And, Aquarius, Houston.

Go head, Houston.

Okay. We're coming up on time for the coarse aline, Jim, so you can hold your attitude real good.

Roger.

And, Odyssey, Houston. The computer is yours. You can press on.

Okay,

Houston, Aquarius.
