Spacelog Apollo 13

Well, we're at ATT HOLD for one thing—I mean, we're at MINIMUM IMPULSE.

No, I mean why can't you null them out, somewhere?

Every time I try to—I can't take that doggone roll out. I got to wait until they get around to the bellyband.

Wait a minute. Do you—you fight roll by using the TTCA left right. That's what you need to play with.

Okay. We'll try that. Let me get around though. Let's roll. Let it roll all the way.

Yes, you can't let it roll all the way.

I know. I know. But I mean -

Okay. Then until it's upside down at least, huh?

Yes.

Okay. Well, should I ask him what the return time on that one is? Or are you interested?

Let's get the first things first.

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?

No.

Hey, Jack. Do you still have a mission timer? You don't? Okay.

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.

Go ahead.

Houston, Aquarius.

Go ahead, Aquarius.

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?

Roger.

And, Fred-o, I got some fast circuit breakers on panel 16 for you.

Okay. Go ahead.

Okay. On row 1 under FLIGHT DISPLAYS, SYSTEMS ENGINEER's CROSSPOINTER, OPEN. Under RCS B —

It's OPEN.

Open the TEMP/PRESS DISPLAY-FLAGS and PQGS/DISPLAYS.

Okay. They're both OPEN.

Okay, Fred. On row 3 under COMM, open DISPLAYS and under ECS, open DISPLAYS.

Okay. COMM DISPLAYS, ECS DISPLAYS, both OPEN.

Okay. And two more. In row 4 under HEATERS, open DISPLAYS and under EPS, open DISPLAYS.

Okay. HEATERS DISPLAY, EPS DISPLAY OPEN. And I've long since had all the lights off, floods, et cetera.

Where are those bags? Where are those bags for weighing water in the PLSS?

Why?

We're going to fill up command module water. We'll …

Hell, do you need a QD … Jim. No way to get ours in there. I don't think.

Hey, Jim.

I wonder if one of our water … jet is. Okay, let's control—What else can we fill up there?

Aquarius, Houston.

We're not—we're not going to —

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.

Okay. Stand by.

Wait a minute. Why do we need a mission timer right now, anyway? I mean, that bad, they'd tell us.

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?

Is that what you want to do?

Yes. Hey, OMNI.

Great.

Switch them. Okay. Let's fire on the mission timer.

Aquarius, we need FORWARD OMNI.

FORWARD OMNI.

Say again, Jack.

FORWARD OMNI.

I am. Okay, Houston. If that call was an OMNI switch, I'm in FORWARD now.

Okay, Fred-o, how do I get the mission timer up? I got the mission timer cranked in.

You got it on?

I got the mission timer circuit breaker in.

Okay. We're going to probably need NUMERICS LIGHTING. There you go. You got it.

Aquarius, Houston. I think we've got a better way of getting your mission time up.

Go ahead with it.

Okay. We can do a VERB 55, ENTER, and then put an R₁, minus 00088. In R₂, minus 00059; R₃ minus 03274.

Watch the crapping attitude.

We're okay.

God damn. I wish you'd get to something I know.

Well, as soon as we get over here, we'll stop it with the TTCA.

Okay.

And, Aquarius; Houston. We've got you both on VOX.

Like to go what?

You want us on VOX, Jack?

We have you on VOX. We're reading you loud and clear and the clock took good.

Okay. Looks like we're on the FDA route there, Jack.

Okay, Jack. How do you read me on NORMAL VOICE now?

Reading you 5 square, Fred.

Okay.

And, Aquarius, we're ready for a VERB 74 when you can give it to us.

You got it.

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.

Completed, Houston.

And, Jack, Aquarius. What kind of return time is this maneuver given?

That puts you back in the water at 133 hours.

133, hey.

Affirm.

And that's an Atlantic landing site.

Atlantic landing?

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 —

Okay.

— minimum time return.

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.

Roger.
