Spacelog Apollo 13

Okay, Jack. We're going to get a time on a revolution here, and maybe that'll help you out.

Right. And, for your information, the tank went at 1937.

That's two thousand—1937?

Right.

Okay, Jack. The Earth went through again at 18 degrees on the LPD.

Okay. Earth at 18. Thank you.

Okay. And we didn't see the Moon that time.

Okay, Jack. The Moon went through that time at 32 degrees on the LPD.

Okay, Jack. Well, we didn't get the Earth that time. The Moon came back through at about 10 degrees, and now we're getting to the Earth again. Stand by.

Okay. The Earth came through the LPD at 62 degrees that time. And the total time for the two revolutions,—I missed the Earth revolution before, but the total time for the Earth's two revolutions was 3 minutes and 50 seconds.

Say again the time and the—and also the LPD number. You're in the background noise, Jack.

Okay. Okay, Jack. LPD that time was 62 degrees and that was for two revolutions, being at that distance we missed the Earth—The time before we didn't see it. And the time was 3 minutes and 50 seconds.

Okay. Three minutes and 50 seconds. Is that rate uncomfortable for you?

Is the Skipper in the sack now?

Aquarius, Houston,

Go ahead, Houston.

Okay, Jim. Since the antenna switch is kind of annoying, we've talked them into buying only half of the data. If it gets too troublesome for you to switch antennas, why, just leave it on one antenna and we'll listen to you half of the time.

Okay. It's not really much trouble. That's all we're doing about it. We'll try to keep up with it. And you're satisfied with this attitude so far. I guess you're going to watch the thermal and find out whether perhaps we're going to some other PTC attitude.

Roger. Thermal appears to be no problem. We're looking at what DELTA-V might have been imparted due to this, and it looks like we're not going to change the PTC attitude.

Okay. Then DELTA-V was a part of it; I hope it raised that angle a little bit.

Yes. We'll be looking at the data here, and give you a better answer in next 30 minutes or so.

Okay. Meanwhile, back to the drawing board about nonpropulsive vents.

And, with your kind of luck, it probably lowered the angle some more.

Thanks for the confidence.

And, Jim, we're going to have a handover here pretty soon, about 3 minutes, we may lose uplink for 30 seconds or a minute.

Aquarius, Houston. We're handed over. How do you read?

Read you loud and clear, Jack.

Okay. I'm hearing you now, and the noise has come up again, but it will go down.
