Hey, Joe? Is FAO ready to—do you—or are you ready to give me those items that we made optional and deleted in the solo book?
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Jack, we are not quite ready with that yet, but we will be before too long. Can you wait awhile?
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Just a passing comment, Joe. We're having lunch right now, and I just made myself a hotdog sandwich with catsup. Very tasty and almost unheard of in the old days.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
That's correct, 13. As I recall the flight plan, you're supposed to put mustard on the hot dogs and not catsup, but I guess we'll overlook that.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
It's going pretty good. We have about four different methods of spreading catsup, right now.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. Fine, Joe. We did a pit check on the Hycon camera and everything works okay.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
That's acceptable, Fred, and meanwhile, when you guys are ready to copy, we've got an MCC-2 pad for you.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger that. And also if you can go to P00 and ACCEPT conveniently, we'd like to uplink.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, Joe. You can go ahead with the P30 pad.

Okay. Here we go. MCC-2, SPS/G&N: 63634; plus 0.96, minus 0.23; 030:40:49.00; minus 0021.7, minus 0001.7, minus 0008.0; 080, 164, 326; N/A, N/A; 0023.2, 0:03.5—We'll give you half a second on the burn time because it's so short—0018.5; 44, 135.9, 28.1; and the rest is N/A. Comments: set stars 31 and 23; roll aline 288, pitch 205, yaw 034; no ullage, LM weight 33499, and over.

Okay. MCC-2, SPS/G&N: 63634; plus 0.96, minus 0.23, 030:40:49.00; minus 0021.7, minus 0001.7, minus 0008.0; 080, 164, 326; N/A, N/A; 0023.2, burn time 0:03.5, 0018.5; 44, 135.9, 28.1; and the rest N/A. Set stars 31, 23; roll aline 288, pitch 205, yaw 034; no ullage, LM weight 33499.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Readback correct. I have two more short comments on them, but I want to wait just a second and make sure I understand them before I pass them to you.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
The two additional comments were just that, first of all, they biased DELTA-VC by minus 0.34 feet per second based on your EMS null bias cheeks. That's just for information. And the second one also for information is that your targeted pericynthion is 60 miles after this correction.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, understand. For Jack's information the EMS DELTA-V bias is 3.4, and our targeted pericynthion after this maneuver is 60 miles.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
We'll give you—we'll give you the read—we'll give you the results of another null bias test for comparative purposes right before the—oh, at the proper time.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Hey, you've got a new CAPCOM on now with the Black Crew, and we have about three items to give you, Jack.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
I'm going to give you some high gain antenna angles for TV and the rest is just information, general words.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Burn attitude for TV, your pitch and yaw angles are as follows: PITCH minus 1—minus 69, YAW 180, HIGH GAIN.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
And the last item's for Jack. Jack, the preliminary indications are that you can get a 60-day extension on your—filing your income tax if you're out of the country.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Yes, we were just looking at the map, and you're south of Florida so you're not in the country now. But we wondered how about your car tags. Have you taken care of those?
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
And, Apollo 13, Houston. Recommend OMNI Alfa until you get to the burn attitude.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Vance. The EMS DELTA-V pass passive, the results of the no-bias pass in 100 seconds, have been from 100 to 101.5.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Copy plus 100 to plus 101.5, and that agrees fairly closely with the last one, as I recall.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Houston. We're at P40 burn attitude. Jim is on the sextant star check, and we do have a star in the sextant.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Houston; 13. We're a little bit ahead of ourselves. Do we have a GO to do the fuel cell purge and the waste water dump?
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Jim, battery A is charged now. Whenever you want to unhook it will be fine with us.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Vance. We're pointed just a little ways off from looking directly at the Moon. Jim is holding the camera through window 3. The Sun is coming at about 40 degrees off our left side, and what we are going to show you in just a minute is about 30 seconds of waste water dump and just show you just what it looks like. It's really fantastic.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. We saw some droplets speeding out for a little while, Jack. Now we don't see anything.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Actually, Vance, what you're looking at is solid water droplets coming out just about all the time. It lights up the whole sky around the Moon. It's Just far too fine for you to see. Now I think they're coming out a little thicker.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
It's amazing watching these little frozen droplets maneuver. They seem to go in all directions, but finally after they get out a certain ways, settle down and they all seem to be traveling in the same direction.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. Now you are looking at a thruster quad at the lower part of your screen.
Expand selection down Contract selection up -
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
I've got the f-stop all the way open now, Vance; that's quad—quad 1 you're looking at with the LM should—The Moon should be in view just over the top of the quad.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
13, Houston. INCO suggests you try AVERAGE if you're in PEAK to see if that gives us a better picture.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Now, 13, request you either move it away from the bright area or else move it back to PEAK. Over.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, Vance. I cranked the focus down a little bit. Is the quad coming in any better now?
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. We could see you zoom in on the Moon, and it's near the center of our screen, just a little to the left. Very clear.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
I don't know if you can make out the features there, Vance, on the Moon, but it looks like the terminators are at central plains area somewhere around Descartes, maybe.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. We're—We see it just as a bright portion of the lunar disk, and it looks a lot like you see it from Earth. Very bright. We are unable to see any features at all.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
It's pretty much the same with the eyeballs in here, and it looks a little bigger now. But the only way I could see it very good at all was with the monocular, a little while ago.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Fred. Very good. We'd be interested to seeing the cabin when you get ready for that, too.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
And, Vance, we're counting down to midcourse-2, we're up to, in our checklist, to minus 6 minutes to go.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Minus 6 minutes. Understand you're about ready to turn on the gimbal motors and all that sort of thing. Okay. We see the computer now in the upper middle part of the—the panel. I think we see somebody's checklist in the center couch. It must be Jim holding the checklist.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Right. And what Jim's holding now, he's got a pen in his hand we've rigged on a string, as sort of a simple-minded accelerometer. This burn's pretty short and I'm not sure even that's going to show very much. But we'll see if it'll stretch out at the end of its string.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Yes. We see the pencil at the top of the picture floating around. And Jack's coming into view now.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Now in a few minutes, Vance, I guess we'll see how about the only system we haven't used yet works. Everything else sure has worked mighty fine.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Right. The spacecraft's really working nicely. Okay. We're picking up panel 2 now. Still a little bit of the checklist.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Right. We just saw your—your testing of the caution and warning system at the left-hand side of the panel on our TV. See the lights all flash on. You're doing it again.
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
You mission timer's showing up as a—a brilliant green in the upper left-hand part of the picture.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. We'll—what we'll do—We'll be on VOX for the remainder of the burn and preburn countdown.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
… And what we're waiting for is 54 minutes on our counter or 20 which would be minus —
-
Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Jim, we hear clipping on your VOX. Could you adjust it so that you're coming in continuously all the time?
