Spacelog Apollo 13

Okay, Houston. We'll punch off at 141 plus 30.

Okay, Jack. We copy and we concur.

Okay, Houston. Do we have a GO for PYRO ARM?

Odyssey, Houston. We can give you a GO if you'll put the LOGIC ON momentarily first.

Okay. The SECs LOGIC is on.

Watch gimbal lock there, Jack.

Yes, we did.

Odyssey, Houston.

Go ahead.

Okay, Jack. We'll have a pad for you in a few minutes. We're getting data now on the tracking, and although we suspect the changes from your preliminary pad will be very small, we recommend that you hold off on initializing the EMS until we get you the final pad. Over.

Okay. Will do.

Roger.

Okay, Houston. The sextant star check passes.

Houston, copy. Good show. That was some P52, Jack.

Yes. I was kind of lucky, I guess.

Give you a big gold star for that.

Thank you.

Okay, Jack. It'll be a few minutes yet. We want to get it right up to speed.

Okay. I can proceed with EMS check, can't I, Joe?

Odyssey, Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston.

Okay, Jim. Your CABIN is looking real good. We recommend you turn the SUIT COMPRESSOR to OFF now. Over.

Going OFF. Boy, it's nice and quiet in here.

Okay, real good. Incidentally, your power is looking real good also, Jim.

Thank you.

Odyssey, Houston. I have your final entry pad when you are ready.

Okay, Houston. Ready to copy.

Okay. Mid-PAC, 000152, 000; 142:38:19, 178; and you recall that's GET moonset and Moon-check attitude. NOUN 61, minus 21.66, minus 165.37; 05.2; 3621.1, 6.20; 1119.7, 36291; 142:40:46; 00:30; the next four are N/A; D_O is 4.00, 02:20; 00:19, 03:38, 07:59. The rest of the pad is N/A for this one. You are lift vector up at the very bottom. And the remarks all remain the same; if you want me to copy them, let me know; otherwise, you can read back. Over.

Okay. Entry pad as follows: Mid-PAC, 000152, 000; 142:38:19, 178; minus 21.66, minus 165.37; 05.2; 3621.1, 6.20; 1119.7, 36291; 142:40:46; 00:30; all the DLS are N/A. DO is 4.00, 02:20; 00:19, 03:38, 07:59. All the rest are N/A, except lift vector which is up; and I have the the …

Okay, Jim. That's a tiny hair shallower than we had you before, but it's based on solid tracking, and it still is lift vector up comfortably.

Roger. We never did bring that angle up, did we?

Odyssey, Houston. Over.

Go ahead.

Okay, Jack. We'd like P00 and ACCEPT for your final state vector.

You've got it.

And, Odyssey, Houston. We're also sending you a final PIPA bias update and clock increment. Over.

Okay. Fine; thank you, Joe. How does the LM look? Are you still tracking it?

All I've heard was that it's that the cabin was holding pressure. I haven't heard anything more. And, Odyssey, we're ready for you to warm up the BMAG number 2's at your discretion and we're curious whether the Moon check attitude is good. Over.

Yes, Joe, it's coming down. I got just about 45 degrees now and it's coming on down.

Odyssey, Houston. The computer is yours. Over.
