Jack Swigert (CMP): … But we're in this wobble.
03 23 03 40
Fred Haise (LMP): … pass … then it'll come back down.
03 23 06 02
Fred Haise (LMP): Hey, Aquarius; Houston. How do you read me?
03 23 06 04
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Okay. Go ahead.
03 23 06 11
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay, Joe. It—Our wobble in this PTC has picked up where the Moon is running by pretty high in the window and the Earth pretty low; so I expect—On the side where the Moon's present, we're having a little bit of trouble with the COMM … breakout there in a couple of places.
03 23 06 37
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Roger that, Fred.
03 23 08 33
Fred Haise (LMP): … pressure gage as far as the noise … get the thing from the AFT. …
03 23 09 10
Jack Swigert (CMP): Houston, Aquarius.
03 23 09 13
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Go.
03 23 09 20
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Joe. I'm all set to copy that procedure for powering up the command module from the LM, whenever you want to give it to me. When did you, I guess you want to put battery A out of the CHARGE, huh?
03 23 09 32
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Jack, we're not certain when the best time is to implement this procedure, and what we want to do at this time is read it up to you, so you'll have it and understand it and we'll—We'll be able to do it quickly when the time comes. And I don't have it for you quite yet. Over.
03 23 09 56
Jack Swigert (CMP): (Laughter) Okay. All right. I'll be standing by to copy it whenever you get it.
03 23 10 03
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack.
03 23 11 34
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
03 23 11 42
Jack Swigert (CMP): Joe, I got to switch antennas here. Okay, Joe, I read you on the FORWARD antenna.
03 23 11 52
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jack, I have the procedure now to read up to you. Before I do, I want to mention something that will be of interest to Fred. We are looking at the SHe tank pressure rise and we expect it to blow. We don't know exactly what time it will go, somewhere around 105 hours or perhaps later than that. We've got plenty of blowdown capability. We just thought you ought to be informed.
03 23 12 23
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Stand by. I'll tell him, now.
03 23 12 27
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay.
03 23 12 28
Jack Swigert (CMP): Fred, they said they're looking at the SHe tank pressure rise, and they expect it to blow somewhere around 105 hours … Okay. Fred thought they did. …

03 23 12 48
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Real fine. Are you ready for the procedure, now, Jack?
03 23 12 55
Jack Swigert (CMP): Yes. Joe, how long is it? Is it a big long one, or a short one, or a medium sized … about how many pages?
03 23 13 01
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): It's about—I'd say 15 to 20 steps, Jack. Some of it is LM stuff, and the rest of it is in CSM.
03 23 13 15
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. I got a fresh page here, and I'm ready to copy.
03 23 13 18
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. I'll give you the LM steps first. They have to be done first, and the first step is on panels 11 and 16, circuit breakers ASCENT CA, ASC ECA, two to close.
03 23 13 42
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Panels 11 and 16 CBs ASCENT ECA to closed.
03 23 13 50
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Next step: panels 11 and 16 CB ASCENT ECA CONTROL, two, to close. Over.
03 23 14 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. On 11 and 16 CBs ASCENT ECA CONTROLs to close.
03 23 14 19
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. That's correct. The next step is BAT 5 and 6 NORMAL FEED to high; those are switches.
03 23 14 41
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. BATs 5 and 6 NORMAL FEED, ON.
03 23 14 46
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's correct. Next step: BATs 1 and 3 to OFF slash RESET. Over.
03 23 15 05
Jack Swigert (CMP): BATs 1 and 3 to OFF slash RESET.
03 23 15 09
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's correct. Next step: wait 30 minutes for preconditioning.
03 23 15 23
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. That's wait 30 minutes for preconditioning.
03 23 15 29
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's correct, and the last LM step for now is BATs 2 and 4 to OFF/RESET.
03 23 15 50
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. BATs 2 and 4 to OFF/RESET.
03 23 15 55
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's correct. Now we'll go to the CSM, and the first step there is connect LM/CSM umbilical. Over.
03 23 16 13
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. Connect LM/CSM umbilical.
03 23 16 17
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. The next step, on panel 5, CB LM POWER-1 MAIN B and LM POWER-2 MAIN B, both, closed. Over.
03 23 16 43
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. On panel 5, CB LM POWER-1 MAIN B and 2 MAIN B, both, closed.
03 23 16 52
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's correct. On panel 5, CB EPS SENSOR SIGNAL MAIN B to close. Over.
03 23 17 11
Jack Swigert (CMP): EPS SENSOR SIGNAL MAIN B closed on panel 5.
03 23 17 16
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's correct. Next step, panel 250: CB BAT C POWER ENTRY/POSTLANDING; closed. Over.
03 23 17 40
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. On panel 250: CB BAT B POWER ENTRY/POSTLANDING, closed.
03 23 17 50
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's Charlie. Verify MAIN BUS voltage; then, LM POWER switch on panel 2 to CSM. Over.
03 23 18 14
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. That's verify the MAIN BUS voltage, and switch LM POWER to CSM.
03 23 18 23
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. That's correct. Then go back to 275, CB MAIN B BAT BUS B to open. Hey, Jack, that's the step I skipped for you, I'm afraid. Before verifying MAIN BUS voltage, you have to, on panel 275, close CB MAIN B BAT BUS B. Over.
03 23 19 07
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay, Joe. How are you reading on the AFT OMNI.

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): You're okay now. Go ahead.
03 23 19 15
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. After putting the BATTERY B POWER ENTRY/POSTLANDING on, then I want to push the—on panel 275 MAIN B to BAT BUS B in, huh?
03 23 19 38
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's right. Then you go to verify MAIN BUS voltage, LM POWER to CSM, and then, on panel 275, circuit breaker MAIN B BAT BUS B to open. Over.
