02 08 39 33
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger, we copy them and we'd like to build up the pressure in O₂ tank 1, so turn the heaters on manually; we'll watch the pressure for you.
02 08 39 44
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, do you want to see —
02 08 39 45
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Go ahead.
02 08 39 46
Jack Swigert (CMP): — We're going to get a MAIN BUS A UNDERVOLT, probably.
02 08 39 49
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. We realize that; we feel we can stand 5 more amps on it.
02 08 39 56
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 08 40 00
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, heater on tank 1's ON.
02 08 41 52
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We'd like you to additionally bring on the fans in O₂ tank 1, and we can stand the additional amperage on that.
02 08 42 03
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay—bring up the fans on O₂ tank 1.
02 08 44 32
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We'd like you to check some circuit breakers on panel 226. CRYO O₂ HEATER number 1 MAIN A, and check the three CRYO FAN MOTORS, TANK 1, three phases.
02 08 44 56
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Jack. 226 is configured just like it should be. I got three REACS breakers and three RAD breakers open. All the rest are closed.
02 08 45 11
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Fred. Thank you.
02 08 45 55
Jack Swigert (CMP): Jack, looking outside, the number of particles has diminished greatly, almost ceased now, which indicates maybe what was venting has almost stopped.
02 08 46 09
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger, Jack. Thank you. We copy.
02 08 46 14
Jack Swigert (CMP): I'm still getting some rates in negative pitch, though.
02 08 46 17
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 08 46 28
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, 13, we'd like to verify that both BMAGs are off, please.

Jack Swigert (CMP): Negative. We just have one BMAG. BMAG number 1 is still on.
02 08 46 43
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack. Let's take BMAG 1 off.
02 08 46 50
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. BMAG number 1 off now.
02 08 48 06
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, this is Houston. We'd like you to give us a survey of your displays on MDCs 1 and 2. Give us gage readings and talkbacks. Over.
02 08 48 22
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. We'll start with display number 1.
02 08 48 30
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. On MDC 1, there's nothing abnormal. All the rate indicators are zero. Ball number 2 is frozen, of course; we lost MAIN B. I've got—Ball number 1 appears to be working normally. Right now I'm sitting at roll 0, pitch 180, and yaw about 13 degrees. I'm going to try and hold 0, 180, and 0.
02 08 49 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. The center panel—I'm looking at the RCS indicator A. We have a package temperature of about 180. Our helium pressure is 3900. I'm looking at fuel pressure of about 180 and percentage of about, I'd say 85 percent. B is about the same, except that that package pressure is 190. On quad C, we're looking about the same, except that the package temperature is 100. On quad D, we're looking at package temperature of 160. All other indications are about the same. CM pressure—RCS pressure is looking nominal. Helium pressure's up around 4000. And package temperature is about—a little less than 80 on ring 1 and about the same on ring 2.
02 08 50 02
Jim Lovell (CDR): And the—talkbacks on the SM RCS, I've got HELIUM 1 now are all gray. HELIUM 2 are all gray. PRIMARY PROPELLANT all gray. SECONDARY PROPELLANT, I've got two barber pole, and A is barber pole, B gray, C barber pole, and D gray. Okay. On the ECS RADIATORS, barber pole is gray. On the—On the ECS, PRIMARY INDICATOR.
02 08 50 57
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Jack. Starting at the top. Okay. The CRYO TANKS; H₂ 1 is reading 230 and the same for 2. Our O₂ CRYO TANK 1 is—looks like it's barely holding its own at 300. And, CRYO TANK 2 is reading zip. Our quantities: H₂ 1 is reading 73, 2, 74. On the O₂ side, we're reading O₂ 1 at quantity, 76; O₂ pegged to full scale high. RAD TEMPs PRIMARY INLET, we're reading about 55; RAD OUT is reading about 30, and the SECONDARY OUTLET is reading—reading 52 degrees. And the EVAP OUT TEMP is 45, STEAM PRESSURE 0.17, and GLYCOL DISCHARGE 48. SUIT COMPRESSOR is reading zip. The ACCUM is reading 30; H₂O WASTE is reading about 34; POTABLE's reading about 98; SECONDARY RAD INLET is reading about 71; and the RAD OUT is about 30; GLYCOL EVAP TEMP is reading 65, STEAM PRESSURE pegged full scale high; DISCHARGE PRESSURE 9 psi.
02 08 53 06
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Excuse me, Fred; I'd like to butt in here a minute. We'd like to have THRUSTER C-1 off.
02 08 53 17
Jim Lovell (CDR): C-1 is off.
02 08 53 18
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And proceed —
02 08 53 19
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay —
02 08 53 20
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): — my last copy is SECONDARY RAD IN.
02 08 53 28
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Your SECONDARY RAD IN, I gave to you 70—about 72 degrees; the RAD OUT is about 30; the GLYCOL EVAP TEMP is reading about 65; STEAM PRESSURE full scale high, GLYCOL DISCHARGE PRESSURE about 9 psi. The ACCUM—SECONDARY ACCUMULATOR is about 30—34 percent. Our temperatures: SUITS showing about 52 degrees; CABIN about 58 degrees; pressures, SUIT reading 4.1, CABIN at 5. PARTIAL PRESSURE CO₂ is up to little over 1, about 1.1. On the SPS side of the house, the temperature is 72 degrees, helium's reading 3500; N₂ A is reading 2300; N₂ B about 2450. And our ullage pressures: FUEL is reading about 165; OXIDIZER 170. Fuel cells: FUEL CELL 1, both CLOSED, they're zip; SKIN TEMP 405 degrees; CONDENSE EXHAUST is lower scale. FUEL CELL 2—right now we've got an O₂ or an H₂ FLOW reading of 0.13 to 0.14, and the O₂ FLOW is right now pegged full scale high although it has been varying depending on thruster activity which has also given us MAIN BUS A under volts from a steady reading of about 1.1 up to full scale high. The T_SKIN is about 445 and the CONDENSOR EXHAUST 17, correction, 180. Let's see if you want it on the DC indicator: FUEL CELL 1 is 0 amps; 2 is reading somewhere between 44 and about—oscillating 44 to 48 again depending on thruster activity.
02 08 56 03
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Stand by.
02 08 56 04
Fred Haise (LMP): — is 0 amps. Say again, Jack.
02 08 56 23

Fred Haise (LMP): Hello, Houston; Apollo 13. How do you read?
02 08 57 07
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, 13. This is Houston. It appears to us that we're losing O₂ flow through fuel cell 3. So, we want you to close the REAC valve on fuel cell 3. It looks like fuel cell 1 and 2 are trying to hold up okay. You copy?
02 08 57 26
Fred Haise (LMP): Are you saying fuel cell 1 and 2—1 and 2 are trying to hold up but we're leaking O₂ out of fuel cell 3? And you want me to shut the REAC valve on fuel cell 3? Did I hear you right?
02 08 57 40
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative. Close the REAC valve on fuel cell 3.
02 08 57 48
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. I'll go to the SSR page. Do you want me to go through that whole smash for fuel cell shutdown? Is that correct?
02 08 57 57
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Stand by.
02 08 58 24
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, 13. We want you to turn the inline heaters off on fuel cell 1. Then we want you to go through the fuel cell shutdown procedure on fuel cell 3. Read back.
02 08 58 40
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Shut down the inline heater on fuel cell 1. We're proceeding with the shutdown, special subroutine, for fuel cell 3.
02 08 58 51
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative.
