04 19 38 50
Jim Lovell (CDR): I just relieved the watch; just thought I'd find out how things are going.
04 19 38 56
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. Good morning; and understand you relieved the watch, and the rest was kind of blurry. Did you have any questions?
04 19 39 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): No questions, Joe. Just …
04 19 39 10
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. That was—That was loud and clear, that one there. Now we don't have a heck of a lot going on as you know we're working on the entry procedures. I've got preliminary copies, but we're not ready to pass—to pass it up to you. Looks like you're about 125 000 miles out, starting to—starting to really pick up speed, and the Astros won last night, and that's about all I've got. Over.
04 19 42 21
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
04 19 42 26
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead.
04 19 42 29
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. It's about time, at your convenience, for another volts and amps reading on the command module. For your information, we put 6 amp-hours back in the battery already and we've got about 14 to go. It's looking real good, and I also just got the word that the entry weather tomorrow is looking better all the time. Really looks great.
04 19 42 55
Jim Lovell (CDR): That's good. When I went to bed last night, … a lot of rain …
04 19 43 04
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Couldn't copy that, Jim. Sorry.

Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius.
04 19 44 14
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Go ahead.
04 19 44 17
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. 39.2 on the volts; 1.4 on the amps.
04 19 44 23
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): 39.2 and 1.4. Thank you.
04 19 44 54
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
04 19 45 00
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Joe.
04 19 45 01
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. Just for your information, in case it happened when you were off watch, the master caution circuit breaker is still pulled, and we're seeing the—the malfunction indication on the descent battery now, but all the parameters still look just as good as ever, and that's just for information.
04 19 45 28
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. I see the battery light flickering now.
04 19 45 33
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Recommend you ignore it.
04 19 45 37
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay.
04 20 26 40
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
04 20 26 44
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
04 20 26 46
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Jim, it's volts and amps time again, at your convenience.
04 20 26 53
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay.
04 20 28 31
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius.
04 20 28 35
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Aquarius.
04 20 29 27
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. If you gave me those readings, I didn't copy them. Over.
04 20 29 51
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius. Do you read?
04 20 29 53
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Okay; go ahead.
04 20 29 58
Jim Lovell (CDR): Volts, 39.3; amps, 1.25.
04 20 30 06
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Copied 39.3 and 1.25. Jim, did Jack tell you what your trajectory looks like? Over.
04 20 30 18
Jim Lovell (CDR): Haven't got up to … on it. How about giving me a rundown?
04 20 30 21
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. We are looking at a vacuum perigee right now of 23.6; flight path angle of minus 6.25; and if we decide we want to trim that up, we're looking at a midcourse of about 2 feet per second. Your consumables, of course, are getting better all the time; we've got 163 hours of water, 230 hours of oxygen, and 172 hours worth of electrical power. Over.
04 20 30 55
Jim Lovell (CDR): That sounds good.
04 20 30 56
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger.
04 21 00 36
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Over.
04 21 00 40
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
04 21 00 42
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. We would like to get another check from you on the propellant tank temperatures, as we did yesterday. And the procedure is to, on panel 16, circuit breaker PROPELLANT, DISPLAY/ENGINE, OVERRIDE/LOGIC to close. Then go to your display and read the tank 1 and tank 2 temperatures for us, and then open the circuit breaker again. Over.
04 21 01 14
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. I'm closing now—the DISPLAY/ENGINE, OVERRIDE/LOGIC.
04 21 01 18
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger.
04 21 01 26
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. And the reaction control temperatures are 65 in A and 65 in B.

04 21 01 34
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. We'd like the descent tank temperatures, too. Over.
04 21 01 59
Jim Lovell (CDR): 67; oxidizer is 63; descent tank 1 … is 64; the oxidizer is … Did you copy? Over.
04 21 02 22
Jim Lovell (CDR): Hello, Houston. Did you copy the—the DPS display temperatures?
04 21 02 27
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Jim, I copied 63 and 64, which I think were the descent 1 temps, and that's all I got.
04 21 02 37
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. I'll go over it again. I'm on descent 1, now and fuel is about 64, and oxidizer is 65, and I'll go to descent 2 —
04 21 02 47
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Thank you very much —
04 21 02 48
Jim Lovell (CDR): — our descent 2. Okay. I've got descent 2 now right up on 67 and 66.
04 21 02 55
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. We copy that, and once again we'd like to get the volts and amps check in the command module. Over.
04 21 03 07
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. I'm going to go up there and get it. Jack is—and Fred are asleep, so I'll be off the air a minute.
04 21 03 12
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Real good.
