Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. I have some circuit breakers that you can open up in order to power down displays.
02 10 55 45
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Stand by 1, Jack. I'm going to get my COMM carrier on.
02 10 55 54
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.
02 10 56 45
Fred Haise (LMP): Why?
02 10 57 06
Jim Lovell (CDR): All right, Jack. Hey, what do you need out of here?
02 10 57 13
Jack Swigert (CMP): … status.
02 10 57 19
Jim Lovell (CDR): Here.
02 10 58 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): Now is there any way they can control this thing with the LM on? Fred-o?
02 10 58 20
Fred Haise (LMP): What's that?
02 10 58 21
Jack Swigert (CMP): Looks like I'm cross-coupling here. I might as well -
02 10 58 23
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes, you are. TTCA will give you the best controlling warning.
02 10 58 30
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes, and I want to get out of this roll. What if I go to —
02 10 58 42
Fred Haise (LMP): It doesn't matter where the hell you are. … gimbal lock … my flashlight or any flashlight.
02 10 59 16
Fred Haise (LMP): … down and power down …
02 10 59 34
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, I'm not doing any good here.
02 10 59 38
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, how do you read now, Jack?
02 10 59 44
Jack Swigert (CMP): OMNI.
02 10 59 46
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes, we're on.
02 10 59 51
Jim Lovell (CDR): Hello, Houston; Aquarius.
02 10 59 54
Jack Swigert (CMP): Back on? Yes.
02 11 00 04
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. You're watching the middle gimbal there, aren't you? Go ahead, Aquarius.
02 11 00 12
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Go ahead with the breakers first, Jack.
02 11 00 15
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. You watching your middle gimbal there?
02 11 00 20
Jim Lovell (CDR): Tell them we are.
02 11 00 24
Jack Swigert (CMP): Your attitude is just straight pitch down, Jim. Okay, you're moving away.
02 11 00 48
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Fred, I've got six circuit breakers for you.
02 11 00 54
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Go ahead.
02 11 00 56
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, they're all on panel 11. Row 1 under AC BUS B, open HELIUM PQGS for PROPELLANT DISPLAY.
02 11 01 07
Fred Haise (LMP): It's OPEN.
02 11 01 08
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.
02 11 01 25
Fred Haise (LMP): They're OPEN.
02 11 01 26
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. They're all OPEN.
02 11 01 27
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. On row 4, PGNS, SIGNAL STRENGTH DISPLAY.
02 11 01 38
Jim Lovell (CDR): It's OPEN.
02 11 01 39
Fred Haise (LMP): It's OPEN?
02 11 01 42
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. That concludes the powerdown of displays. And I have a P30 pad for you.
02 11 01 53
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Go ahead.
02 11 01 57
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.
02 11 03 37
Fred Haise (LMP): What was that for?
02 11 03 40
Jim Lovell (CDR): Pitch and yaw, maybe, huh?
02 11 03 42
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, what was the last two things you gave me, a pitch and roll angle for what?
02 11 03 47
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's for your DPS trim.
02 11 03 48
Jim Lovell (CDR): Those were gimbal angles for—pitch and yaw.
02 11 03 54
Fred Haise (LMP): Oh, Roger. GDAs.
02 11 03 56
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Yes, that's what I mean. Sorry.
02 11 03 58
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 —
02 11 04 43
Jim Lovell (CDR): Did we lose the water in the —
02 11 04 44
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.

02 11 04 56
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Good readback, Fred.
02 11 05 00
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes, lose—get all the little bags you can with water.
02 11 05 06
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Say again, please.
02 11 05 13
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. We didn't answer back there, Jack. Check to see if you're on VOX.
02 11 05 19
Jim Lovell (CDR): No.
02 11 05 22
Fred Haise (LMP): Neither am I, okay. Why the hell are we maneuvering at all now? Are we still venting?
02 11 05 34
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, we're at ATT HOLD for one thing—I mean, we're at MINIMUM IMPULSE.
02 11 05 38
Fred Haise (LMP): No, I mean why can't you null them out, somewhere?
02 11 05 41
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.
02 11 05 50
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.
02 11 06 04
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. We'll try that. Let me get around though. Let's roll. Let it roll all the way.
02 11 06 12
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes, you can't let it roll all the way.
02 11 06 13
Jim Lovell (CDR): I know. I know. But I mean -
02 11 06 16
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Then until it's upside down at least, huh?
02 11 06 18
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes.
02 11 06 19
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Well, should I ask him what the return time on that one is? Or are you interested?
02 11 06 31
Jim Lovell (CDR): Let's get the first things first.
02 11 06 43
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?
02 11 06 57
Jim Lovell (CDR): No.
02 11 07 00
Fred Haise (LMP): Hey, Jack. Do you still have a mission timer? You don't? Okay.
02 11 07 07
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.
02 11 07 18
Fred Haise (LMP): Go ahead.
02 11 07 20
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius.
02 11 07 21
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Aquarius.
02 11 07 25
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?
02 11 07 31
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger.
02 11 07 40
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Fred-o, I got some fast circuit breakers on panel 16 for you.
02 11 07 49
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Go ahead.
02 11 07 51
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. On row 1 under FLIGHT DISPLAYS, SYSTEMS ENGINEER's CROSSPOINTER, OPEN. Under RCS B —
02 11 08 00
Fred Haise (LMP): It's OPEN.
02 11 08 01
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Open the TEMP/PRESS DISPLAY-FLAGS and PQGS/DISPLAYS.
02 11 08 10
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. They're both OPEN.
02 11 08 12
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Fred. On row 3 under COMM, open DISPLAYS and under ECS, open DISPLAYS.
02 11 08 25
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. COMM DISPLAYS, ECS DISPLAYS, both OPEN.
02 11 08 28
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. And two more. In row 4 under HEATERS, open DISPLAYS and under EPS, open DISPLAYS.
02 11 08 40
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. HEATERS DISPLAY, EPS DISPLAY OPEN. And I've long since had all the lights off, floods, et cetera.
02 11 08 55
Jim Lovell (CDR): Where are those bags? Where are those bags for weighing water in the PLSS?
02 11 09 02
Fred Haise (LMP): Why?
02 11 09 03
Jim Lovell (CDR): We're going to fill up command module water. We'll …
02 11 09 09
Fred Haise (LMP): Hell, do you need a QD … Jim. No way to get ours in there. I don't think.
02 11 09 37
Fred Haise (LMP): Hey, Jim.
02 11 09 44
Jim Lovell (CDR): I wonder if one of our water … jet is. Okay, let's control—What else can we fill up there?
02 11 10 00
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
02 11 10 02
Fred Haise (LMP): We're not—we're not going to —
02 11 10 03
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.
02 11 10 25
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Stand by.
02 11 10 27
Fred Haise (LMP): Wait a minute. Why do we need a mission timer right now, anyway? I mean, that bad, they'd tell us.
02 11 10 32
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?
02 11 10 37
Fred Haise (LMP): Is that what you want to do?
02 11 10 38
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes. Hey, OMNI.
02 11 10 43
Fred Haise (LMP): Great.
02 11 10 47
Jim Lovell (CDR): Switch them. Okay. Let's fire on the mission timer.
02 11 10 59
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, we need FORWARD OMNI.
02 11 11 05
Jim Lovell (CDR): FORWARD OMNI.
02 11 11 07
Fred Haise (LMP): Say again, Jack.
02 11 11 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): FORWARD OMNI.
02 11 11 11
Fred Haise (LMP): I am. Okay, Houston. If that call was an OMNI switch, I'm in FORWARD now.
02 11 11 28
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Fred-o, how do I get the mission timer up? I got the mission timer cranked in.
02 11 11 34
Fred Haise (LMP): You got it on?
02 11 11 35
Jim Lovell (CDR): I got the mission timer circuit breaker in.
02 11 11 38
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. We're going to probably need NUMERICS LIGHTING. There you go. You got it.
02 11 11 47
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. I think we've got a better way of getting your mission time up.
02 11 11 56
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead with it.
02 11 11 59
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. We can do a VERB 55, ENTER, and then put an R₁, minus 00088. In R₂, minus 00059; R₃ minus 03274.
02 11 12 28
Fred Haise (LMP): Watch the crapping attitude.
02 11 12 31
Jim Lovell (CDR): We're okay.
02 11 12 36
Jack Swigert (CMP): God damn. I wish you'd get to something I know.
02 11 12 41
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, as soon as we get over here, we'll stop it with the TTCA.
02 11 12 43
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
02 11 12 46
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Aquarius; Houston. We've got you both on VOX.
02 11 12 54
Fred Haise (LMP): Like to go what?
02 11 12 56
Jim Lovell (CDR): You want us on VOX, Jack?
02 11 12 58
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): We have you on VOX. We're reading you loud and clear and the clock took good.
02 11 13 17
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Looks like we're on the FDA route there, Jack.
02 11 13 39
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Jack. How do you read me on NORMAL VOICE now?
02 11 13 42
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Reading you 5 square, Fred.
02 11 13 46
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
02 11 14 12
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And, Aquarius, we're ready for a VERB 74 when you can give it to us.
02 11 14 23
Fred Haise (LMP): You got it.
02 11 14 25
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. And one other thing we noticed. When you pressurized the RCS, we got an increase in pressure in the ascent tanks, and so we want to have you verify that the ascent feeds are closed. In order to do that, on panel 11, close the ASCENT FEED 1 and 2 circuit breakers on—and cycle the Parker valves, and then open the ASCENT FEED circuit breakers on panel 11.
02 11 15 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): Completed, Houston.
02 11 15 10
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. Thank you.
02 11 17 53
Fred Haise (LMP): And, Jack, Aquarius. What kind of return time is this maneuver given?
02 11 18 02
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That puts you back in the water at 133 hours.
02 11 18 11
Fred Haise (LMP): 133, hey.
02 11 18 13
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Affirm.
02 11 18 24
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And that's an Atlantic landing site.
02 11 18 31
Fred Haise (LMP): Atlantic landing?
02 11 18 36
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Affirmative. That's the pad that we've given you, but we may change our mind later on. We want you to have this info for now. And that's a minimum —
02 11 18 47
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
02 11 18 48
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): — minimum time return.
02 11 20 09
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. We've got to change the REFSMMAT to the one to which you're alined. So we'd like to have P00 and DATA and we'll ship that up to you.
02 11 20 21
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger.
02 11 20 30
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, you got it, Jack.
02 11 20 34
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. Coming up.
02 11 21 22
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, could you give us DATA please?
02 11 21 32
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Jack, you got it.
02 11 21 33
Fred Haise (LMP): — the updata link, the DUA breaker may not be in, Jack.
02 11 21 44
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Fred, and close the DUA breaker.
02 11 21 51
Jim Lovell (CDR): It's in now, Jack.
02 11 21 54
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim, and it's coming up now. Thank you.
02 11 28 03
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. We're finished with the uplink. The computer's yours. We'd like to power down the DUA, so pull the DUA circuit breaker please.
02 11 28 14
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Updata link breaker's coming OPEN.
02 11 36 25
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. We'd like to have AFT OMNI, and we're going to lose contact with you for about a minute here while we try to establish tracking. And our latest data shows that your closest approach to the Moon is going to be 60 miles perigee. Over.
Expand selection down Contract selection up
02 11 36 44
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Closest approach, 60 miles, and I'm sitting on AFT OMNI now.
02 11 36 50
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. We'll probably be going off the air here in about a minute.
02 11 41 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius. Over.
02 11 41 14
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Aquarius.
02 11 41 19
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. We're thinking about rigging up the urine dump to the side hatch. We're thinking about rigging up the urine dump to the side hatch and save urine heater power. What do you think?
02 11 41 36
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Stand by 1.
02 11 41 42
Jim Lovell (CDR): Better still so we won't freeze up our urine dump.
02 11 41 48
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. That sounds like a good plan, Jim. Why don't you go ahead with that one?
02 11 42 59
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Aquarius. And down here we're getting regrouped, trying to work on your control modes and trying to set up something for PTC and taking a look at consumables as opposed to flight plan, and so forth, and as soon as we get all that information, we'll pass it up to you. We also have the 14 backup crew over in the simulators looking at dock burns and also trying to see what kind of alinement procedures they can come up with for looking at stars out the window. So if you ever are able to see any stars out there and think you can do an alinement out the window, why let us know.
02 11 43 40
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Jack, right now we're not able to. The sunlight's reflecting off the thrusters and whatever debris came away at the time of the mishap is still with us, such that the stars are hard to find, and why—what respect do you want us to do the stars out the window—just to check the LMS run, is that correct?
02 11 44 04
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmative. We'd like to correlate the information we get with your's, so that if we can use it to update the platform, we can. What we're really trying to do, Jim, is see if we can do a COAS aline so we can power down the platform.
02 11 45 23
Jim Lovell (CDR): That is Aquarius. We're getting an awful lot of static on the uplink now, and we're not reading you at all.
02 11 45 39
Jim Lovell (CDR): I have good signal strength and I'm on AFT OMNI.
02 11 45 51
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): How do you read now, Aquarius?
02 11 47 06
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Hey, Jim, do you suppose that you could orient the LM so that the service module would be between you and the Sun? I believe you could see—recognize constellations out your front windows then.
02 11 47 47
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Radio check.
02 11 48 15
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Jack. How do you read now?
02 11 48 17
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay. Hearing you 5 square now, Jim. And the question we have, is there some way you can orient the spacecraft so that the service module is between the LM and the Sun so you can recognize constellations out the window? And secondly, can you see anything out the AOT?
02 11 49 28
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. How do you read?
02 11 53 46
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, how do you read me now?
02 11 56 56
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. How do you read?
02 11 57 08
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, request FORWARD OMNI, please.
02 11 58 22
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Request FORWARD OMNI. How do you read?
02 11 59 06
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Houston; Aquarius. How do you read?
02 11 59 09
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Hello there, Aquarius. Loud and clear. How do you read me?
02 11 59 14
Jim Lovell (CDR): There's an awful lot of background —
02 11 59 16
Fred Haise (LMP): We get a lot of background static, Jack. You're down in the mud. You having a ground problem?
02 11 59 23
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): What we tried to do was to get the IU frequency shifted off a little bit so that we'd have less interference. I think it'll come up—What we want you to do is turn on your descent oxygen and turn off your ascent oxygen. Over. And request FORWARD OMNI.
02 11 59 43
Fred Haise (LMP): You're unreadable, Jack. We've got our signal strength meter—right now it keeps wavering up and down, and the best I'm getting is about 2.4 AGC.
02 11 59 53
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. Request FORWARD OMNI.
02 11 59 58
Fred Haise (LMP): I am on FORWARD OMNI. I've been on FORWARD OMNI.
02 12 00 43
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. How do you read, Jack?
02 12 00 46
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): I'm hearing you 5 square, Fred. How me?
02 12 01 13
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. How do you read?
02 12 01 58
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. We're up to about 2.6 AGC now.
02 12 02 03
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Radio check.
02 12 02 10
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Every time you transmit, Jack, the AGC starts to drop off and the static level turns up.
02 12 02 18
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Fred. You're loud and clear.
02 12 02 24
Fred Haise (LMP): I wish you were.
02 12 02 30
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Fred, go to DESCENT O₂.
02 12 02 35
Fred Haise (LMP): DESCENT O₂. Roger.
02 12 04 05
Jim Lovell (CDR): Hello, Houston; Aquarius.
02 12 04 08
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Hello there, Aquarius. How do you read me now?
02 12 04 23
Jim Lovell (CDR): Hello, Houston. Aquarius.
02 12 04 26
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Go.
02 12 04 30
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. That's the first clear word we heard from you, Jack. Do you think it could be my pitch attitude that's breaking up your incoming? I guess you've been hearing us.
02 12 04 42
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): We have been hearing you, and the problem is on the ground. I hope we have it corrected now.
02 12 04 51
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. That sounds good.
