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

Key moment Jettisoning the lunar module: Okay. Just copied that, and you are GO for PYRO ARM.

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.

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. Your CABIN is looking real good. We recommend you turn the SUIT COMPRESSOR to OFF now. Over.

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; DO 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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

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

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

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)

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.

Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Yes, Joe, it's coming down. I got just about 45 degrees now and it's coming on down.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. You're still looking real fat on power. We show you having over 30 amps on the water. If you do get into a bind and don't come up—that's amp-hours—don't come up with Recovery, you can always power down and you can always put the pyro batteries on the line if you need them after you're down.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jack. This is Houston. We've got POWER, and you can cycle it for 10 minutes if you so desire, but we don't think you need to do it. Over.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
That's affirmative. Hold it just a second; we are looking at 6.13 and 4.80. I'll get a check on that.

Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
I know all of us here want to thank all you guys down there for the very fine job you did.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Odyssey; Houston. Just for your information, it looks as though battery C will deplete around main chute time; that's expected; you've got plenty of amp-hours in the other batteries.

Odyssey, Houston. Over.

Okay, I was just going to tell you about that handover we just had, but I was a little late on the—on the ball. Since we're fat on power and we'd kind of like to have S-band with you after blackout—we'd—We'd like you to delete the step on your entry checklist page 2-5, after “Begin blackout,” it says “POWER PMP to OFF.” We'd like you to leave it on if you think of it. Over.

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)

Okay. At 10 minutes to 400 K, you're looking good; we're real happy with the trajectory, and a minute ago, we just lost contact with your friend Aquarius.

Hey, just as I said that, we got another burst of LM data, so I guess it's still ticking.
