Fred Haise (LMP): And 3-D is reading 1.95.
02 09 14 08
Fred Haise (LMP): And, Houston, 13. O₂ tank pressure number 1 is less than 300 now.
02 09 14 14
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. We're seeing that. We confirm it.
02 09 15 04
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We're going to have to have you go through the shutdown procedure on fuel cell 1. Our O₂ pressure is going down as you note and the temperature confirms it. Did you copy?
02 09 15 24
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Well, what bus configuration—What main bus do you want powered?
02 09 15 36
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack. We want you to leave the bus configuration as it is. Fuel cell 2 on MAIN A, and we need OMNI Bravo.
02 09 15 52
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. We're proceeding on the shutdown procedure for fuel cell 1.
02 09 16 35
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, 13, Houston. We'd like you to isolate the REPRESS package, please.
02 09 16 42
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 16 43
Jim Lovell (CDR): Isolate the REPRESS package. Roger.
02 09 16 45
Fred Haise (LMP): I can confirm REPRESS package is off.
02 09 16 48
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. So now you've got the REPRESS package and the surge tank isolated. Is that affirm?
02 09 16 55
Fred Haise (LMP): That is Charlie.
02 09 16 59
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Now, this is—We're ready to close the REACs on fuel cell 1; is that right?
02 09 17 35
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Jack, stand by on the fuel —
02 09 17 36
Jack Swigert (CMP): On that last—confirmation. Okay.
02 09 17 41
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. We're—We're giving you one last —
02 09 17 42
Jack Swigert (CMP): We want to just get one last confirmation.
02 09 17 45
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack. We're getting that last confirmation. Stand by, please.
02 09 17 51
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 18 01
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, 13. We verify that we want you to close down—shut down fuel cell 1, close REACs valve.
02 09 18 10
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger —
02 09 18 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 18 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): — fuel cell 1; close the REACs valve.
02 09 18 19
Jack Swigert (CMP): Fuel —
02 09 18 20
Jim Lovell (CDR): REACs valve on fuel cell 1 is closed.
02 09 18 45
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. I can confirm step 2. The fuel cell shutdown procedure is complete for fuel cell 1.
02 09 18 55
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 09 19 58
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, we recommend that you enable BD roll in the DAP. Over.
02 09 20 05
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Will do —
02 09 20 06
Jim Lovell (CDR): BD roll in the DAP.
02 09 20 23
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We're working on the big dish now, so turn the HIGH GAIN POWER switch off, please.
02 09 20 32
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
02 09 20 55
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. When we got the loud bang, we got also a restart. Did you copy that? Is—does GUIDO want anything, a VERB 74 or anything done with the CMC?
02 09 21 06
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Stand by.
02 09 21 54
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We're ready with a VERB 74 now, please.
02 09 22 05
Jack Swigert (CMP): Coming down at you.
02 09 23 54
Jack Swigert (CMP): Key moment With oxygen dropping, the crew considers a move to the LM: Okay, Jack. It looks like O₂ tank 1 pressure is just a hair over 200.

02 09 24 02
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): We confirm that here and the temperature also confirms it.
02 09 24 09
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Does it look like it's still going down?
02 09 24 12
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): It's slowly going to zero, and we're starting to think about the LM lifeboat.
02 09 24 20
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes. That's what we're thinking about, too. You want me to do a quick P52? It kind of looks like—We've been talking it over, and it kind of looks like we'd probably aline our plats—LM platform with our platform and then power down the CM, and keep the LM powered up doing a DPS—whatever DPS burns you give us?
02 09 24 54
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, we're not going to concern ourselves at the moment with a DPS burn. It's going to be some time before we'd get to that; but we're working on other procedures to give you, which will allow us to use the LM systems. Over.
02 09 25 12
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Real fine.
02 09 26 40
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. We'd like to charge battery A now.
02 09 26 46
Jim Lovell (CDR): Charge battery A. Roger.
02 09 27 13
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Jack, in regard to your question about the P52 and LM platform, it's—There's no need to worry about that now. We wouldn't be using the LM platform for—until about 79 hours, so let's go as is on the platform for now. Over.
02 09 27 30
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. We understand.
02 09 27 37
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack.
02 09 30 13
Jack Swigert (CMP): And, Jack, we've turned off the waste dump heater. If you're going to consider dumping any more waste water, we probably ought to do it while the duct is warm there.
02 09 30 30
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. Stand by, Jack.
02 09 30 34
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 30 38
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack. Let's keep the water; no need for a dump right now.
02 09 30 44
Jack Swigert (CMP): All right.
02 09 32 15
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We see the PROP ISOL valve on RCS quad Charlie closed, so we'd like to also disable AUTO RCS feature in quad Charlie.
02 09 32 30
Jim Lovell (CDR): You want to isolate the AUTO RCS features in quad Charlie?
02 09 32 33
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Affirmative.
02 09 32 44
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Jack. I didn't plan to reset that quad Charlie DROP ISOL valve. Do you want me to do that? Okay. We just tried it and quad Alfa and Charlie barber poles are showing.
02 09 33 01
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Stand by, Jim.
02 09 33 03
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. That's the sec—secondary propellant barber poles on Alfa and Charlie.
02 09 34 47
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. It won't do any good to try to power the propellant valves on A and C, so we want you to disable the AUTO on RCS Charlie. And we have a procedure for getting power from the LM we'd like you to copy down.
02 09 35 08
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 35 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): Stand by, Jack.
02 09 35 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): That sounds like good news.
02 09 36 05
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Jack. About how long is it?
02 09 36 12
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): It's not a very long procedure, Fred. We figure we've got about 15 minutes' worth of power left in the command module, so we want you to start getting over in the LM and getting some power on that. And, you ready to copy your procedure?
02 09 36 27
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
02 09 36 29
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. In the CSM.
02 09 36 30
Fred Haise (LMP): Stand by.
02 09 36 40
Fred Haise (LMP): Go ahead.
02 09 36 41
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. In the CSM on panel 5, circuit breakers LM POWER 1 and 2, OPEN. Then LM POWER switch, reset and release. In the LM, on panel 11 and panel 16, TRANSLUNAR BUS TIE. Both circuit breakers CLOSE. On panel 16, circuit breaker ASCENT ECA CONTROL, CLOSE. On 16, DESCENT ECA CONTROL, CLOSE. On panel 14, put your BAT 5 NORMAL feed ON. BATs 1, 2, 3, and 4 LOW VOLTAGE taps, ON. BAT 5 NORMAL feed, OFF. ASCENT ECA CONTROL, OPEN. You copy?
02 09 38 08
Fred Haise (LMP): Stand by 1.
02 09 38 24
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. In the CSM, on panel 5, we want CB LM POWER 1 and 2, OPEN. Then the LM POWER switch to reset, release. In the LM, panels 11 and 16, X LUNAR BUS TIE breakers closed. On panel 16, the ASCENT ECA CONTROL closed; the DESCENT ECA CONTROL closed. On panel 14, BAT 5 NORMAL feed ON, followed by BATS 1, 2, 3, and 4 LOW VOLTAGE taps ON. Then BAT 5 NORMAL feed OFF. Then ASCENT ECA CONTROL breaker OPEN.
02 09 38 58
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's a good readback, Fred.
02 09 39 14
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, 13, Houston. As a final effort here, we would like you to turn on the fans in tank 2. Over.
02 09 39 23
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. Understand. Turn on the fans in tank 2.

02 09 43 15
Fred Haise (LMP): You got another one?
02 09 43 17
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): I have an activation procedure. I'd like you to copy it down.
02 09 43 25
Jim Lovell (CDR): How long is it, Jack?
02 09 43 27
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): It's just four lines. Go to Activation 1, do step 3. Go to Activation 11, omit step 1. Do Activation 12, and then go to Activation 13 and do step 1. Do you copy?
02 09 43 54
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Is that Activation 1? Do step 3. Is that correct?
02 09 43 59
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative, Jim.

02 09 44 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): Do Activation 12 and Activation 13, step 1.
02 09 44 14
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's all correct.
02 09 44 25
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. Pressure in tank 1 is approaching 100 psi. What's going to be the symptoms of this fuel cell starting to drop off?
02 09 44 51
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Stand by, Jack. We'll get the word on that.
02 09 44 56
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 45 06
