Spacelog Apollo 13

Okay.

And AGS PULSE is the recommendation.

We're having trouble maneuvering, Joe, without getting it in gimbal lock.

Okay. You can —

You picked a lousy attitude, though, to separate.

Well, we apologize. Just take your time. Jim, we've got time now.

Okay.

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. I can't think of a better idea, Jim.

I'll go to AGS ATT HOLD, if you want me to.

We recommend that, Jim.

Okay, Aquarius; Houston. In AGS ATT HOLD, we recommend WIDE DEADBAND. Over.

I'm in the AGS DEADBAND.

Roger.

Aquarius, Houston. Don't forget the …

You need to relay something downstairs, Jim?

Odyssey, Houston.

Go ahead, Joe.

Okay. Our troops would like to have you go to the SYSTEMS TEST METER and read out the injector temps on RCS for us.

Okay. Okay. In work.

Okay, Houston. Let me read out the injector temperatures for you.

Go ahead.

5 Charlie, 4.2; 5 Dog, 4.6; 6 Alfa, 4.3; 6 Bravo, 4.3; 6 Charlie, 3.6; 6 Dog, 3.6.
