02 09 47 05
Jim Lovell (CDR): — … Jack. It's got—Okay.
02 09 48 17
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Jack, this is Houston. We want you to keep the IMU up and keep the lights on so you can see in there, and leave battery off—battery A off and, at the appropriate time, we'll put it on MAIN A. And we're going to keep the IMU up so's we can get a coarse aline in the LM.
02 09 48 38
Jack Swigert (CMP): All right. Real good. Right now, we're charging battery A. Do you want to discontinue that?
02 09 48 46
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Discontinue the charge on battery A, Jack.
02 09 49 22
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. I discontinued charge on battery A. You give me the call and I'll turn BUS TIE AC on.
02 09 49 32
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. And we want you to keep the lights up and the IMU on.
02 09 49 38
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 49 48
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Jack, we'd like you to leave the COMM configuration as is until we get COMM with the LM.
02 09 49 57
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 09 50 08

02 10 02 06
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. I can verify all heaters off. Jack, I've got to keep a fairly minimum deadband until I get through this coarse aline.
02 10 02 15
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 10 02 26
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. VERB 41, NOUN 20. Okay. You want plus? Plus or minus? Plus 302.43? Is that right?
02 10 03 12
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Let me enter it. Okay. What's the next one? Plus 347.78. 347.78. Okay. 081.3. Is that right? ENTER. Okay.

02 10 10 11
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Say again, please.
02 10 10 17
Jim Lovell (CDR): The LM middle gimbal is 011.79.
02 10 10 22
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): 011.79. Got it.
02 10 12 10
Jack Swigert (CMP): Houston. … flashing.
02 10 12 19
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Odyssey, Houston. We need a command reset on your—on your COMM, and then we'd like you to power down to CMC, power down the IMU, heaters off on the IMU, but leave the battery A on.
02 10 12 43
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes.
02 10 12 58
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Odyssey, Houston.
02 10 13 08
Fred Haise (LMP): Ask him if he's …
02 10 13 10
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes.
02 10 13 11
Fred Haise (LMP): Are you …?
02 10 13 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes.
02 10 13 13
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, this is Odyssey. Go ahead.
02 10 13 16
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim —
02 10 13 18
Jim Lovell (CDR): Copy it down.
02 10 13 20
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. I think I'm reading Jack, now. But what we want him to do is to give us a command reset. And then power down the CMC, power down the IMU, turn the IMU heater off, leave battery A on. Over.
02 10 14 19
Jack Swigert (CMP): That's just about 80—in fact, 82 hours out of the two primary cartridges. That's two guys. 44 is what LC8 got. That would be 88 hours. We got a secondary. You're right. We're listening.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Odyssey, Houston.
02 10 14 43
Jack Swigert (CMP): They can stand it—Go ahead?
02 10 14 47
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Yes, Jack. Did you copy down about the CMC IMU?
02 10 14 52
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes, Jack. I read it back twice to you. Command reset, which I've done. I'm about to power down the IMU, power down the CMC, turn the IMU heaters off, leave BAT A on.
02 10 15 07
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirm. Thank you.
02 10 15 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. I just got a MASTER ALARM and MAIN BUS A UNDERVOLT. And I'm starting to power down, now. —
02 10 15 21
Fred Haise (LMP): We've lost—The only advantage to doing it early; if we can power back—the LM back down. The only advantage doing it early is you can do a big burn now and a midcourse and then power the LM down. Otherwise, we got to keep the LM powered up clear until we get around the Moon. Plus it would be inside on the burn. I just hope the G&N hangs up on—hangs in on this one—I'd sure hate to do that one manual.
02 10 16 05
Jim Lovell (CDR): Oh boy.
02 10 16 06
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Odyssey, Houston. Couple circuit breakers for you. On panel 276, on our INSTRUMENTATION POWER CONTROL, open CB number 3 and number 4.
02 10 16 33
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Houston. Panel 276, INSTRUMENTATION out and reset —
02 10 16 39
Jack Swigert (CMP): — a lot of light.
02 10 16 40
Fred Haise (LMP): — CB-3 and CB-4 are open.
02 10 16 45
Jack Swigert (CMP): What?
02 10 16 47
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative, Odyssey. And also get your SCS electronics package and power off, and your FDAI POWER/GPI off, and your AUTO jet SELECT, all 16 off.
02 10 17 07
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Well, wait a second. Let me—Let me get the CMC power down.
02 10 17 13
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger, Jack.
02 10 17 16
Fred Haise (LMP): I wonder how much that's going to bring this up, here.
02 10 17 28
Jim Lovell (CDR): Jack, while he's doing that, copy down what you just said again. I want to write it down.
02 10 17 36
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, we need to get your sublimator powered up, Activation page 20 and Activation page 21, step 3. Over.
02 10 17 52
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. Activation page 20 and Activation page 21, step 3, sublimator.
02 10 17 58
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 10 18 00
Jack Swigert (CMP): That's Activation, page 20? Okay, Jack. Now I have to power down IMU. I have no control at all. I'm going to turn my 16 jets off, Say again the other things you wanted?
02 10 18 28
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack. We'd like you to turn off your O₂ tank 2 heaters and fans. Correction—tank 1. Turn the fans and heaters off.
02 10 18 41
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. And, Jack, can we turn on the FDAI circuit breakers so we could have a ball to see if we go to gimbal lock or not?
02 10 18 49
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Stand by.
02 10 18 53
Jack Swigert (CMP): Houston, he's going to give a 16 NOUN 20, Jack. And, okay, I've got O₂ heaters and fans off in tank 1.
02 10 19 15
Jim Lovell (CDR): And, Jack, let me know if you get close to gimbal lock, would you?
02 10 19 25
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Jim, we don't want you to power down the ball in the LM. We wanted you to power down the ball in the CSM.
02 10 19 39
Jack Swigert (CMP): Jack, they haven't powered down —
02 10 19 42
Jim Lovell (CDR): Jack, we don't have the balls powered up in the LM.
02 10 19 45
Jack Swigert (CMP): I have the CMC and IMU in the command module is powered down. The heaters are out.
02 10 19 56
Fred Haise (LMP): And the EVAP flow valve, that's open now, and I've undone my suit hoses here and opened up the suit flow valves; so, we got air flowing in the LM now.
02 10 20 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. Will you say again the SCS items you wanted me to power down?
02 10 20 45
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Houston. Do you read Odyssey?
02 10 20 55
Jim Lovell (CDR): Hello, Houston. How do you read?
02 10 21 01
Fred Haise (LMP): His gimbal lock and ours are different, Jim.
02 10 21 09
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Apollo 13, Houston. Say again, please. You were cut out.
02 10 21 15
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Jack. Do you want me to proceed by the SCS powerdown checklist? I did not copy the SCS items you wanted me to power down.
02 10 21 32
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Odyssey. We want to go SCS ELECTRONICS POWER, OFF.
02 10 21 39
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. It's done.
02 10 21 41
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): FDAI POWER/GPI, OFF. AUTO jet SELECT, 16 —
02 10 21 47
Jack Swigert (CMP): That's done.
02 10 21 48
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): — OFF. And all your ROTATIONAL CONTROL POWER, OFF.
02 10 21 52
Jack Swigert (CMP): It's done. ROTATION CONTROL POWER, DIRECT, and AUTO …, OFF.
02 10 21 59
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Jack. Tell me there. We need to know when we're getting close to gimbal lock in the LM. We have no balls right now.
02 10 22 06
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. We want you to power up your eight-ball. We want you to get your RCS heaters on. Pressurize the RCS and open up the MAIN SOVs. Over.
02 10 22 23
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Jack. I got two commander FDAI breakers in, AC and DC, and the two GASTA breakers in AC and DC and next you'll want the RCS heaters all on with the—pressurize the RCS and then the MAIN SOVs open. And I think they're already open.
