Jack Swigert (CMP): See it there. Like two black clouds.
03 04 58 24
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, you know what this burn is buying us; 10 hours.
03 04 58 29
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes.
03 04 58 32
Fred Haise (LMP): And how.
03 04 58 54
Jim Lovell (CDR): Might be a good idea.
03 04 59 41
Jack Swigert (CMP): Hey, that's pretty extensive, Jim. You can locate it and get it halfway through the …
03 05 00 25
Jack Swigert (CMP): Strange.
03 05 00 53
Jim Lovell (CDR): It's on the AOT. Well, maybe not.
03 05 01 02
Fred Haise (LMP): I don't think so.
03 05 03 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): I know what that is. That might be the debris that was thrown out there.
03 05 03 15
Jack Swigert (CMP): — into the cloud?
03 05 03 19
Fred Haise (LMP): It's all dark now.
03 05 03 24
Jim Lovell (CDR): From the explosion.
03 05 03 27
Fred Haise (LMP): … we made a maneuver.
03 05 03 30
Jim Lovell (CDR): No, from our explosion.
03 05 03 32
Jack Swigert (CMP): Take a look. It covers a wide area. God, that dark cloud. … Like a pair of contrails. Only if you switch the detent, they go on around. How long to LOS? Is that right?
03 05 04 06
Jim Lovell (CDR): I'd sure like to try the detent 2, but I guess our damn platform's okay, isn't it?
03 05 04 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes.
03 05 04 17
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes.
03 05 05 03
Jack Swigert (CMP): …
03 05 05 38
Jack Swigert (CMP): …
03 05 06 03
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 05 06 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
03 05 06 11
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. We have a little over 2 minutes until LOS, and everything's looking good here.
03 05 06 21
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. Yes. I take it that we don't have to start our activations until we receive AOS from you.
03 05 06 39
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger. That's correct.
03 05 08 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): You … up our edibles? … water? …
03 05 33 50
Jim Lovell (CDR): Good morning, Houston. How do you read?
03 05 34 37
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 05 34 42
Jim Lovell (CDR): Stand by for AOS.
03 05 35 02
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, how do you read Aquarius?
03 05 35 05
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Reading you about 3 by 3.
03 05 35 43
Jack Swigert (CMP): Houston, Aquarius. How do you read?
03 05 35 49
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Fred. Reading you fairly well now. How do you read?
03 05 35 53
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. I read you loud and clear, …
03 05 35 58
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 05 38 34
Fred Haise (LMP): Jack, why don't you get the other …
03 05 39 23
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, go this way.
03 05 39 31
Jim Lovell (CDR): All right. We're going up on Mare Smythii, now.
03 05 40 55
Jack Swigert (CMP): We'll see where … zooming off.
03 05 41 02
Jim Lovell (CDR): Oh, yes, yes, we're no longer 139 miles. We're leaving.
03 05 41 08
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes, look at that curvature.
03 05 41 18
Jim Lovell (CDR): That might be Crisium ever there, Fred.
03 05 41 37
Jack Swigert (CMP): Oh, yes; way off on the horizon, there, yes.

03 05 41 44
Jim Lovell (CDR): Hey, if you want to use the 250? There's a beautiful shot of Tsiolkovsky which we very seldom have.
03 05 42 04
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, at this stage of the game beggars can't be choosers, I guess.
03 05 42 08
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes, and we can't afford the amps to use the heaters.
03 05 42 36
Jim Lovell (CDR): Here you go.
03 05 43 33
Jim Lovell (CDR): All right. You're in zero phase up here.
03 05 43 46
Jim Lovell (CDR): Are we—back to DOWN VOICE BACKUP?
03 05 43 48
Jack Swigert (CMP): What's that?
03 05 43 49
Jim Lovell (CDR): We DOWN VOICE BACKUP?
03 05 43 50
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes.
03 05 43 51
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius.
03 05 43 55
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Aquarius.
03 05 44 01
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. We still want an activation start time for a burn.
03 05 44 07
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Understand. You want a powerup time, is that affirm?
03 05 44 14
Jim Lovell (CDR): That's affirm.
03 05 44 21
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. Stand by.
03 05 44 48
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Look it. Let's get the cameras squared away; let's get all set to burn. We got one chance now.
03 05 44 55
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay.
03 05 44 56
Jim Lovell (CDR): We're not going to hack it at 152 hours.
03 05 45 02
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 05 45 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
03 05 45 10
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Jim, regarding the start time for the powerup, you mentioned an hour and 15 minutes. We think that is adequate. This is crew preference depending on how much time you think you need. We would go along with an hour and 15 minutes —
03 05 45 46
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay—Okay, sounds good.
03 05 47 24
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Fred-o. You been through most of that checklist for an hour? Let's get it out and …
03 05 47 50
Jack Swigert (CMP): 78 hours and …
03 05 47 56
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Let's …
03 05 48 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): Hey, Jack. Did you … camera back up …?
03 05 48 18
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Page 1.
03 05 48 19
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay,
03 05 48 22
Fred Haise (LMP): Page 2, I'm going to power up the …
03 05 52 38
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 05 52 43
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
03 05 52 46
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. We have about three items for you. We have a maneuver pad, P30 LM maneuver, again; and the maneuver pad for the CM for splashdown. We also have a checklist change with contingencies,—LM contingencies checklist. And, I'll stand by while you're gathering the books.
03 05 53 15
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. I'm at—I got the contingency book, so give me that one first.
03 05 53 20
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. Page 18 …
03 05 53 26
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. I'm at page 18.
03 05 53 28
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. About half-way down. When propellant quantity equals 30 percent, or rather 37 percent, we would like to change that line to read—when time to go is equal to 10 seconds—Of course, the line under that remains the same then, DESCENT HE REG 1 to CLOSE.
03 05 53 58
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. When time to go equals 10 seconds, DESCENT HELIUM REG 1, CLOSE.
03 05 54 05
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): That's affirm. Before I start on the pads, another comment. The general indications that we gave you before about the Sun being in the commander's window and about stars in the AOT, such as that might be used as general indication for your attitude for the burn, that's all out the window. We are just going on the Sun check that we made earlier and we don't feel that we have information that is good enough to give you the star and the Sun in the window information.
03 05 54 58
Jim Lovell (CDR): …
03 05 55 05
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. You're very weak now. When you are ready to take the P30 LM maneuver pad, I'll be reading it up.
03 05 55 20
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Go ahead with the …
03 05 55 24
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. This is P30, LM maneuver pad, PC plus 2 hours, starting with NOUN 33, 079:27:38.30, plus 0833.0, minus 0050.9, minus 0213.9, N/A, plus 0020.5, 0861.5, 4:24, 272, 081, and the rest is N/A except for comments as follows. Ullage, two jets, 10 seconds; CSM weight, 62480; LM weight, 33452 and the DPS throttle profile is the same as before, 5 seconds at minimum, 21 seconds at 40 percent, and the remainder of the time at MAX. Over.
03 05 56 02
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Vance. … 079:27:38.30, plus 0833.0, minus 0050.9, minus 0213.9, N/A, plus 00205, 08615, 4:24, 272, 081 and the rest N/A.

03 05 58 30
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Aquarius; Houston. You're coming in about 1 by 1 now. Advise that I heard everything except the beginning NOUN 33 values and the comments. Please repeat the readback on those.
03 05 58 48
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. I'm going to UP with the POWER AMP here, Vance.
03 05 59 15
Fred Haise (LMP): Houston, how do you read Aquarius now?
03 05 59 17
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Hey, you're loud and clear now.
03 05 59 23
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. I got the POWER AMPS now, PC plus 2 hours, 079:27; 38.030, plus 08330, minus 00509, minus 02139, N/A, plus 00205, 08615, 4:24, 272, 081; rest N/A. Ullage two jets, 10 seconds, CSM weight 62480, LM weight 33452; DPS throttle profile the same, 5 seconds idle, 40 percent at 21 seconds. Remainder at MAX.

03 05 59 50
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger. Forty percent for 21 seconds, I believe is what you read back. And all the rest is correct. Now, for the maneuver pad for the CSM. Over.
03 06 00 29
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. Stand by.
03 06 00 55
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Go ahead.
03 06 00 58
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Fred-o. This is maneuver pad monitor PC plus 2 hours; all N/A until you get to NOUN 61, latitude minus 21.65, minus 165.00, 1163.5, 36292, 142:39:22. Over.

03 06 02 06
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger. That was starting with NOUN 61, and that's correct.
03 06 02 25
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): By the way, Aquarius, we see the results now from 12's seismometer. Looks like your booster just hit the Moon, and it's rocking it a little bit. Over.
03 06 02 44
Jack Swigert (CMP): Well, at least something worked on this flight.
