Spacelog Apollo 13

Houston, why can't I stay in PGNS ATT HOLD for the LM attitude hold?

Stand by on that, Jim.

Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Go ahead.

Okay. Our recommendation is that you stay in AGS for the LM JETT simply because we've thought it through. We've got the right deadbands and all set up. Over.

Okay. It's a lot easier for me to maneuver in PGNS, Joe, than it is AGS.

Yes. You can maneuver in PGNS, Jim. I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about the ATT HOLD and the LM JETT afterward. You can maneuver in PGNS if you want to.

I want to get way over here, Joe. To prevent him into gimbal lock, I have the yaw at about—I'd say about almost 50 degrees.

Roger that. Just stay out of gimbal lock and that 45-degree isn't critical—the out of plane, that is.

Odyssey, Houston. Request OMNI Charlie.

Okay. Going OMNI Charlie.

Thank you.

There.

Okay. Good.

Roger. That's VERB 46. Roger. Aquarius, Houston.

Go ahead.

Okay, Jim. The particular DAP configuration we have set up now is using more fuel than we'd like out of system B. We'd like you to reconfigure the DAP to 30021. Over.

Thank you.

Odyssey, Houston.

Go ahead.

We'd like to have you turn the optics power off until you need them again, and we would like to have you check the RCS ring 1 and 2 temps for us. Over.

Optics power going off.

Okay.

Okay, Joe. Our ring 1 is 50; ring 2 is plus 42.

Ring 1 is 50; copy. What was the other?

42.

Got it. Thank you.

Okay, Houston; Aquarius. I am at the LM SEP attitude and I'm planning on bailing out.
