Aquarius, Houston. Stand by on opening your circuit breakers for displays. We're going to let you know what they are, and I have some gyro torquing angles for you.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. We'd like you to proceed with the fine aline and your gyro torquing angles are X plus 003.30, Y plus 024.80, Z minus 015.10. Over.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. I read your gyro torquing angles as plus 003.30, Y is plus 023, I only have four numbers for Y; you'll have to give that one to me again, and Z is minus 015.10. Read Y again, please.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. We read Y as plus 024.80. We'll proceed on Activation 40 to fine aline the platform.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. As soon as you get a chance to—on your position—to take a look, we'd like to know if you can see stars for alinement purposes.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. Jim's going to be in trouble in our present attitude out his side. The Sun's there.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
What have you got? How much you got left in battery A? Okay. I wish I knew what the hell they were thinking right now … —
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Aquarius, Houston. Negative on the P51. We want to stay just like we are, but we'd like to be able to correlate what you're doing with some simulator work we're going to crank up. And so if you can give us information as to what stars you can see out the window, we can make that correlation.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Jim, what we want you to do is go with your current fine aline and disregard the P51. What we're attempting to do is to crank up some LMS simulations to correlate what we can get out your window with what we can get out the LMS window to see if that will help us any. So when you can see some stars, if you can, you think you can recognize them and recognize constellations, please let us know.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Aquarius, Houston. We notice that the O2 pressure in the ASCENT TANK O2 is a little high, so we want to use some of it. So close DESCENT O2 and open ASCENT O2, tank 2. Over.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. I'm looking out of Fred's window. I see a lot of particles out there, but a lot of that stuff is still drifting away from us, so a lot of it is flashing in the local vicinity, and I don't recognize any constellations right now, in this particular attitude.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
And, Aquarius; Houston. I've got some circuit breakers you can open to power down displays. In addition, I have a P30 maneuver pad. Over.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. I have some circuit breakers that you can open up in order to power down displays.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
All right, I'll tell you what. Get all the LM stuff. Give me the LM stuff right now. Jack, give me all the LM stuff.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
It doesn't matter where the hell you are. … gimbal lock … my flashlight or any flashlight.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Aquarius, Houston. You're watching the middle gimbal there, aren't you? Go ahead, Aquarius.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, they're all on panel 11. Row 1 under AC BUS B, open HELIUM PQGS for PROPELLANT DISPLAY.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
On row 2, FLIGHT DISPLAYS, open THRUST, open MISSION TIMER, open RANGE/RANGE RATE, ALTITUDE/ ALTITUDE RATE, and open the AC BUS A RANGE RATE, ALTITUDE/ALTITUDE RATE.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. The purpose is a pericynthion plus 2 hours DPS abort. NOUN 33: 079:25:26.48; plus 1633.0, minus 0014.5, minus 0751.5; apogee not applicable, perigee is plus 0020.5; 1797.7, 8:35, 268, 264, plus 16410, minus 00145, minus 07338. COAS is NA. And I have two gimbal trim angles for you which will be updated. Right now, however, we want you to go with pitch 5.86, roll 6.75. Over.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Pericynthion plus 2—Okay, DPS pericynthion plus 2, at 079:25:026.48; plus 1633.0, minus 0014.5, minus 0751.5; HA N slash A, HP plus 0020.5; 1797.7, 8:35, 268, 264, plus 16410, minus 00145, minus 07338 —
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
— N slash A in the COAS, and you gave me GDA angles of pitch 5.86, and you want roll 6.75.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Aquarius, Houston. Say again, please.

Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Neither am I, okay. Why the hell are we maneuvering at all now? Are we still venting?
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Every time I try to—I can't take that doggone roll out. I got to wait until they get around to the bellyband.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Wait a minute. Do you—you fight roll by using the TTCA left right. That's what you need to play with.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. We'll try that. Let me get around though. Let's roll. Let it roll all the way.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. Well, should I ask him what the return time on that one is? Or are you interested?
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Oh, you don't want to hear. Let me figure some times out here. That's at 79, and what are we at now? About—do we—do we—do we even know any better computer time, do we?
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
I'll tell you what. Let's ask—let's ask Houston to give us a mission timer, computer time. They can up link it to us. Okay, hold it.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
You know, we don't have a—I don't think we have a computer clock going, and why don't you up link that stuff to us?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. On row 1 under FLIGHT DISPLAYS, SYSTEMS ENGINEER's CROSSPOINTER, OPEN. Under RCS B —
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. And two more. In row 4 under HEATERS, open DISPLAYS and under EPS, open DISPLAYS.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. HEATERS DISPLAY, EPS DISPLAY OPEN. And I've long since had all the lights off, floods, et cetera.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
I wonder if one of our water … jet is. Okay, let's control—What else can we fill up there?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
We're not going to be able to up link your time because of the IU, and we have a frequency problem there. But what I'd like to do is give you a time to set up on your mission timer and give you a mark and then you can put it into the DSKY from there. Over.
-
Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Wait a minute. Why do we need a mission timer right now, anyway? I mean, that bad, they'd tell us.
-
Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Well, I'd rather have a timer going so that we—what are we going to put in the DSKY? Should we shut down the mission timer?
