Spacelog Apollo 13

Okay, this is 13. We are standing by, too.

Apollo 13, Houston through ARIA. Just a COMM check. Over.

Reading you clear …

Okay, Jim. It's not the best, but we are reading you.

13, Houston. You're weak but clear; it will probably get better in a second. We're standing by for the burn report.

Roger.

13, Houston. The booster reports that everything looks good with the S-IV.

Sounds good, Houston. The ride was very nominal. We a little vibration, though, during most of the run.

Okay. We copied your call on that, Jim.

Okay, Joe. the DSKY read 35560, plus 04445, plus 01769, and DELTA-V_C was minus 3.0.

Roger. You can't ask for much better than that. How about the burn time? Did you notice?

Okay. On my trusty watch, I had about 3-3/4 seconds long.

Okay. Copy that.

Apollo 13, Houston.

Roger, Houston; 13 here.

Okay. We have the S-IVB maneuver to SEP attitude commencing at 2 plus 56 plus 37. Duration of the maneuver: 4 minutes. SEP time, 3 plus 06 plus 37. Over.

Okay. If I heard those right, Joe, the S-IVB maneuver was 2 plus 56 plus 57. SEP time is 3 plus 06 plus 27.

Correction on the second; 2 plus 56 plus 37, and 3 plus 06 plus 37.

Okay. 2 plus 56 plus 37, with the maneuver time and the SEP time, 3 plus 06 plus 27?

That's plus 37, too. Exactly 10 minutes later, Fred.

Apollo 13, Houston.

Go ahead.

We see the booster doing all the right things, and FIDO says your trajectory looks good, and it looks like we'll stick with a pretty close to nominal midcourse, too. We'll have some numbers for you later.

Okay. And we concur. The S-IVB is maneuvering at this time.

Roger.

And, Apollo 13, Houston. We'd like OMNI Alfa. Over.

13, Houston. Now request OMNI Charlie.

Roger. OMNI Charlie.

And, 13, we'll be doing a handover, now.

Okay.

Apollo 13, Houston. You are GO for T&D.

Okay, Joe. Thank you.

And, 13, Houston. Check your NOUN 17 for extraction pitch attitude. It should be 319 degrees. Over.

Okay, Houston; 13. Do we have a GO for pyro arm?

13, Houston. Affirmative. You're GO for pyro arm, and recommend you secure the cabin pressurization.

We did. We closed the waste management vent valve, there. Or waste stowage valves —

Okay. We're reading 6 psi on the cabin, Jack.

Roger, Joe. Thank you very much.

Yes, that's quite a bang, Joe. We've separated, and we've pitched around about 60 degrees now.

Roger, Jack. We see you pitching.

Okay. We got the SLA panels—one of them is out front now.

Ah, so.

Got the S-IVB. I guess we're about 80 feet.

Good deal.

Okay. I'm going to come on with the TV now, Joe.

Okay, Fred. We're waiting for it.
