Jim Lovell (CDR)

What about these lights up here?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Where would you like …?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

We don't want to lose COMM with him.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

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.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. What page is that there gyro torquing?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. What page is the, do we write the gyro torquing angles on there, Jack?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. We're there now, Jim. Jim's got it. Go ahead with the gyro torquing angles.

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.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, Jim. X and Z are correct and Y is plus 024.80.

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. Okay, Aquarius, proceed as on page 40 with IMU fine aline.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Can you see any stars out the LM window?

Fred Haise (LMP)

We'll have to wipe them off, Jack. They're coated with water right now.

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 … —

Jim Lovell (CDR)

They're talking about powering down and doing a P51 here?

Fred Haise (LMP)

No. They were just thinking about P52

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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Would you say one more time? Give me the top two. The top two.

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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. We'll check. Stand by.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. Here, unplug this.

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.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, Jack. Switch now on ASCENT number 2 O2 tank, DESCENT O2 is closed.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay, Houston; Aquarius. How do you read?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Reading you 5 square, Jim. Go ahead.

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)

Okay, Jim. If that status changes, please let us know.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Roger. We're continuing to drift. Okay, get your TTCAs to roll.

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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Roger. Stand by, Houston. Get the CS—get the pad book.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Get the LM data—get the LM book.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

And, say—We're getting the pad book now, Jack—and say the boost on powered up?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay. I have some circuit breakers that you can open up in order to power down displays.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. Stand by 1, Jack. I'm going to get my COMM carrier on.

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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

All right, Jack. Hey, what do you need out of here?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Now is there any way they can control this thing with the LM on? Fred-o?

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Looks like I'm cross-coupling here. I might as well -

Fred Haise (LMP)

Yes, you are. TTCA will give you the best controlling warning.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Yes, and I want to get out of this roll. What if I go to —

Fred Haise (LMP)

It doesn't matter where the hell you are. … gimbal lock … my flashlight or any flashlight.

Fred Haise (LMP)

… down and power down …

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Well, I'm not doing any good here.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, how do you read now, Jack?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Hello, Houston; Aquarius.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. You're watching the middle gimbal there, aren't you? Go ahead, Aquarius.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. Go ahead with the breakers first, Jack.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay. You watching your middle gimbal there?

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Your attitude is just straight pitch down, Jim. Okay, you're moving away.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay, Fred, I've got six circuit breakers for you.

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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. They're all OPEN.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay. On row 4, PGNS, SIGNAL STRENGTH DISPLAY.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay. That concludes the powerdown of displays. And I have a P30 pad for you.

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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Pitch and yaw, maybe, huh?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, what was the last two things you gave me, a pitch and roll angle for what?

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

That's for your DPS trim.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Those were gimbal angles for—pitch and yaw.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Yes, that's what I mean. Sorry.

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 —

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Did we lose the water in the —

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.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Yes, lose—get all the little bags you can with water.
