Spacelog Apollo 13

Aquarius, Houston, I have some additional entry data that goes with the pad I just read up. It's five items. Let me know when you're ready to copy. It's on a maneuver pad.

Okay. I'll try to squeeze them in there, Jack. I'm rapidly running out of pads.

Go ahead.

Okay. It's N/A all the way down to NOUN 61. Your latitude is minus 21 —

Hold on a minute; hold on. You need the—Hold on, Jack, I need the other pad book, that CSM pad.

That's affirm.

Okay. Now I'm ready.

Okay. NOUN 61: latitude, minus 21.67, minus 165.37, 1163.1, 36292, 142:41.02. Read back.

Okay. NOUN 61; minus 21.67, minus 165.37. 1163.1, 36292, 142:41.02.

Good readback.

And you should have high bit rate now, Jack.

Houston, Aquarius.

Go ahead, Aquarius.

Did you have readouts on our quad temps to know when we can start? We're taking a time hack. We'd just like a verification with you.

Okay, Houston; Aquarius. We're going to stop PTC at this time.

How about if you do —

Say again, Jack.

Negits on my last, Fred.

Okay, Jack. How do you read now?

Go ahead, Aquarius.

Okay. I thought you called, Jack. We're maneuvering around here to fish for the Earth.

And, Houston, Aquarius. How's the ASA package temp look now?

Okay, Fred. The ASA package temp is looking good. It's around 98 degrees, and we'd like to see it go up about 15 to 20 degrees.

Okay. Why don't you give me the word before I proceed with the AGS. We really don't need it right this instant.

Aquarius, Houston. The ASA package temp is up now so you can activate the AGS.

Okay, Jack. So we can make sure and get our timer set here, I wondered when your—you've got about 48 minutes to the burn which should be coming up pretty quick—you'd give us a hack so we could set our event timer at 12.

Roger, Fred. I understand you want a mark at 17 minutes prior to the burn. Is that affirm?

Roger. We think we got it set now. We just wanted to check it. If we don't, then I'll set it to 13, and you can give me another hack at 47 to go.

Okay. We got 33 to go.

MARK.

My mistake. It was 33 —

Right on.

Roger. It was reading 33 on my mark. Right?

Okay. You got about 105:03 GET now down there?

That's affirmative, Fred. Going through 105:03:45.

MARK.

Okay.

Okay, Jack. Give me the next number you want me to set then, and I'll take another hack here.

Roger. You're counting up, right?

Roger.

Okay, Fred. On my mark, be 35 minutes to the burn.

Standing by.

We missed her, Fred. Let's get it on the next minute.

Twelve clicks right.

Okay, Jack. Are we clear now to proceed with the powerdown?

That's affirmative, Fred. We're ready to press on with powerdown. I've got two changes for you. Step 1 of the emergency powerdown on page power—5. Over.

Go ahead.

Okay. Leave your POWER AMPLIFIER switch in PRIMARY vice OFF and put your RANGING switch to RANGE, vice OFF/RESET.

Okay. We're in PRIM in the POWER AMP and RANGING on RANGING.

Affirmative.

Okay. I'm going to pull. Well, here, let's just look at the checklist.

Okay. Configure CBs. There you go.

Aquarius, Houston, hold off 1 on powerdown, please.

Okay. We'll hold off. And we're looking at a SHe pressure, incidentally, of about 1830 now.

Roger. We concur with that. And it looks like you got a little pitch rate going on here. Do you copy the same?

Okay. My pitch needle is just slightly up now. I could try to take it out if you want me to.

Not—Wait, wait. There you go.

Just hold off on it 1, Jim. We'd like to take a look at it.

Okay.

Aquarius, we'll need high bit rate, please.

Flashlight, Jack. Jack, flashlight over here a minute.

Aquarius, we need the POWER AMPLIFIER back in high bit rate, please.

You got it.

You got a couple in the roll pretty soon.

What is it, 1.7?

You have another set of them by the PGNS.

Now we got to turn on the heaters you want to save -

What's that flitting out there in the breeze? Are we venting again? Take a look, Jack.

Well, once we get squared away, Joe, I think I am going to have to go to the space center and take a good healthy one and leave just about everything. I've held up long enough.

That's coming from above. Another one just—is just coming down right over here. Well, there's the old terminator at Fra Mauro. We'd been landing about 2 hours ago, huh? Right on the —

Houston, Aquarius.

— to the right of the terminator.

Go ahead, Aquarius.

Just for information, although I thought I'd never have to use it, that technique looked like it was a pretty good one.

Roger, Jim. And we'd like you to give us your idea of how the PTC looks. We're not sure we're seeing what we ought to here.

Okay. I still have my ball powered up and I'm coming around past 270 right now. I've got a slight roll and pitch offset in there. My pitch needle about halfway up and my roll needle is about 4 degrees over now.

Okay, Jim. With that info we'll go on the PTC, and let's proceed with the powerdown.

Okay. We'll proceed with the PTC and proceed with the powerdown. I guess if we have to we can reestablish PTC at a later date. Okay. Okay.

First row. Ullage. AGS.

Your AGS on?

My what? My what? Oh, yes. Go ahead.

Okay. The four INVERTERS of this AC BUS volt, Fred.

Okay. Go ahead.

Okay. Let's—give the last thing to Jack and I'll keep it all out. Okay? RCS SYSTEM A. That's in. TCAs are going off. Why do they need the ISOL valves in the ASCENT FEED in?

You're not sucking any power unless you take these switches and move them.

How come we pulled them out, then, in this burn?

Because you didn't want them to get moved inadvertently, I guess. It doesn't matter, Jim, they can be out or in in terms of powerdown. They just don't count.

Okay. I got 1, 2, 3.

ISOL valve should be in 2.

Yes. Okay. Third row. Attitude DIRECT CONTROL I still have in.

Jack, how do you read now in baseband?

Reading you 5-square, Fred. How me?
