Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): That's affirmed, Jim. We have you up to 10.6 now, and we're willing to go a little higher on that. We have another cartridge and we have a procedure for making the command module cartridges up. We'll pass that on later.
03 10 25 42
Jim Lovell (CDR): Oh, yes. I'm not worried about that. I just wanted to make sure that you —
03 10 25 46
Jack Swigert (CMP): Are they going to —
03 10 25 47
Jim Lovell (CDR): — that—We just don't want to go to sleep here and forget about the rise in CO₂.
03 10 25 51
Jack Swigert (CMP): Are they going to use … —
03 10 25 52
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. We're watching it for you —
03 10 25 54
Jim Lovell (CDR): Yes, they're getting it …
03 10 25 55
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): — We have it here. It's now 10.7 and we have a medical go to 15 millimeters.
03 10 26 03
Jack Swigert (CMP): That's a new one.
03 10 26 04
Jim Lovell (CDR): There's a new first for you.
03 10 26 19
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim, we estimate we've got 1 more hour on the primary cartridge, and 6 or 7 hours on the secondary.
03 10 26 31
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Fine. Say, it's a spare primary cartridge back there, too, isn't it? So that's good for another, how long?
03 10 27 10
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes. Yes. That's yours though, isn't it?
03 10 27 14
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And you're right, Jim. We've got another primary cartridge back there behind the ascent engine cover.
03 10 27 21
Jim Lovell (CDR): Right, yes. We know. Thank you.
03 10 27 43
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes, yes, I just -
03 10 27 51
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. I guess you've done everything right on that panel. Let me check the middle one. Yes. You powered down and then you leave me. Tell me, I've got it.
03 10 28 05
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack, we just thought it's about time you got a LM checkout.
03 10 28 16
Jack Swigert (CMP): But he's giving it to me inert. Of course, I'm giving him my command module, too, which is rather inert right now, too.
03 10 28 32
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Well, you've got to walk before you run, you know.
03 10 36 42
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
03 10 37 07
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 10 37 15
Jack Swigert (CMP): Go ahead, Jack.
03 10 37 19
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Roger. For your information, Jack —
03 10 37 20
Jack Swigert (CMP): You're loud and clear.
03 10 37 21
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): — all of our analysis is based on powerdown to 14 amps, but we're reading on you right now 12.3 and so we're better off than we were in our analysis.
03 10 37 38
Jack Swigert (CMP): That sounds good.
03 10 38 12
Jack Swigert (CMP): Jack, I thought you were going to get the sleep shift where there wasn't any excitement?
03 10 38 18
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Well, I tried, but I didn't make it. I thought you were supposed to he sleeping now.
03 10 38 31
Jack Swigert (CMP): Well, Fred-o is getting something to eat, and Jim is starting to sack out so I'm taking the COMM here until Fred gets set.
03 10 38 42
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay.
03 10 39 19
Jack Swigert (CMP): As I just—Yes, are you ready to take over? Well, he just—he just asked—said he thought I was supposed to be sleeping. And I told him that I was waiting for you to—Okay. You were off the NET when they explained the—But don't they—Can't we monitor our CDU's any more to tell when to switch antennas, so they've just—When they can see it switch—it will take a couple of minutes for them to get up. And they'll always make a voice check with you.

Jack Swigert (CMP): It came out here. I caught it. Okay. Now, are you getting squared, I'll give you the COMM here.
03 10 40 42
Fred Haise (LMP): I don't know. […]
03 10 40 56
Jack Swigert (CMP): They're, they're showing right now 12.3 amps Their analysis is based on 14 so they're in better—Okay. Headset's yours
03 10 42 12
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Jack. How do you read?
03 10 42 17
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Hearing you loud and clear, Fred. OMNI.
03 10 42 21
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
03 10 42 22
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, I heard the —
03 10 42 23
Fred Haise (LMP): I see you luck out with all the good shifts.
03 10 42 27
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Yes, I got all the good deals. I heard Jack brief you on the COMM mode so, you got any questions about that?
03 10 42 40
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
03 10 43 06
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): And how is your PTC going? I heard Jack tell you that we can't see your CDU's. How's it going?
03 10 43 17
Fred Haise (LMP): Well, let's see, we may be offsetting slightly, the Sun looks like it may be a little higher now. Here comes the Earth by and it looks about the same perspective. I'll have to wait to see the Moon on the other side, Jack. …
03 10 43 37
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Okay, Fred, I can't hear you any more on account of the background noise. I assume that—I think I heard Jack tell you what we're going to do about COMM. UPLINK SQUELCH, off. You'll take care of the antennas because we can't see your attitude. We'll give you a voice check when come up. It'll take us 3 to 5 minutes to come up. And to make it astronaut-proof, when you see the Earth, use a forward antenna; when you see the Moon, use the aft one.

03 10 44 08
Fred Haise (LMP): Yes, that's pretty straightforward. Okay, I see the Earth so I've very wisely shifted to FORWARD.
03 10 44 17
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM): Good boy.
03 10 45 09
Fred Haise (LMP): Got another battery?
03 10 45 12
Jack Swigert (CMP): … really sick.
03 10 45 14
Fred Haise (LMP): Earth will be by over there in a minute.
