Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. I think we can stand to go to f:44 on that. The clouds are pretty bright.
00 03 48 56
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. We are going to have to press on here, Joe, so we are back inside.
00 03 49 00
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Thanks a lot.
00 03 54 04
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. How's that picture looking back outside now, Joe? Getting ready for LM extraction.
00 03 54 13
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. That looks pretty good, Fred.
00 03 54 14
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, this is 13. Do we have a GO for pyro arm?
00 03 54 20
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. Affirmative. You're GO for pyro arm.
00 03 54 50
Jack Swigert (CMP): Hey, Joe, when we went back up and rechecked the tunnel there, we found two latches that weren't cocked and we reset them.
00 03 55 02
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): I'll roger that, Jack.
00 03 56 56
Jack Swigert (CMP): Joe, I've got a beautiful view of the Earth out window 1.
00 03 57 03
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger, Jack.
00 03 57 04
Fred Haise (LMP): By the way, the windows came through in real good shape. Window 5 looks real clean, so I am kind of hopeful that Hycon stuff will be pretty good.
00 03 57 14
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Good deal.
00 03 57 22
Fred Haise (LMP): I meant window 3, Joe.
00 03 57 58
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, 13; Houston. You're GO for LM SEP whenever you're ready.
00 03 58 06
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger.
00 03 58 18
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, 13; Houston. Correction on that. You're GO for LM SEP at the nominal time and—or later. We don't want it early.
00 03 58 27
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Joe. We'll do it at 04:01:00.
00 03 58 29
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger.
00 04 00 54
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. We're about ready to pull the LM out, Joe.
00 04 00 59
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, 13.

Jack Swigert (CMP): Here she comes.
00 04 01 15
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Looks like we're clear, Joe.
00 04 01 19
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Looks good. It's weird because we get the TV about 10 seconds after you call it.
00 04 02 45
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston.
00 04 02 52
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead.
00 04 02 53
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. We'll be waiting for you to tell us that you feel you're safely clear of the booster, and give us the GO to command the booster in its yaw maneuver.
00 04 04 39
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. Did you copy my last about giving us a GO for the yaw?
00 04 04 46
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes, we're maneuvering, Joe, and we hadn't picked her back up again yet.
00 04 04 55
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Do you want to wait till you acquire it before we yaw it?
00 04 05 03
Jim Lovell (CDR): How much time do you have, Houston? Can you wait, or do you want to do it right now?
00 04 05 09
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): We can wait if you want us to, Jim.
00 04 05 11
Jim Lovell (CDR): Why don't you wait just a little bit.
00 04 05 13
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay.
00 04 06 02
Jack Swigert (CMP): Joe, did they ever get an idea of what that—the TD and E fuel was?
00 04 06 09
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Jack, they're not willing to pin it down to a specific number right now because they say the tanks will warm up later on and the apparent consumption will go down. But it was nominal.

00 04 06 20
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
00 04 08 26
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Houston. We have the S-IVB in sight. You are GO to maneuver the S-IVB.
00 04 08 31
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Houston, Roger that.
00 04 09 04
Jack Swigert (CMP): Try to give you a—Houston, we're going to try to give you a shot of the S-IVB with the TV out window number 3.
00 04 09 11
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Real good, Jack. Our S-band signal strength has been fluctuating. Does it seem to be going all right up there in the AUTO TRACK mode?
00 04 09 24
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes. Right now; yes, it's dropped off to about the 70-percent point, Joe, and it was before up about 85.
00 04 09 34
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay.
00 04 09 54
Jim Lovell (CDR): And, Houston, do you have a TV picture?
00 04 09 57
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Not at the moment, Jim. We had a garbled one there for a few seconds, and we don't have one at this moment.
00 04 10 05
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. I can see the S-IVB now out the hatch window and it's —
00 04 10 11
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. Suddenly we have a very good picture.
00 04 10 13
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay.
00 04 10 50
Jim Lovell (CDR): And, Houston, I can see the gold shroud around the IU, and it looks that it's all intact.
00 04 10 56
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger, Jim. We copy that. Incidentally, the APS evasive maneuver will be about 4 minutes late. It'll be at about 04 plus 18.
