Spacelog Apollo 13

Okay. It says maneuver in ATT HOLD for Moon view attitude until CM platform release.

That's affirm. Better worded, it would have been maneuver and hold in attitude for Moon view, et cetera.

Okay. That's mainly for Jack to be able to get it in the optics, you mean.

Yes, that's correct. Okay, Fred —

Okay.

Could you give us a readback on everything up to this point?

Okay. I'll go back to NORMAL VOICE. It might—Or is this pretty clear?

It's clear.

Okay. The master title, “Entry, LM PREP, EI minus 6 hours.” First, BAT 5 NORMAL FEED, ON; second, use modified LM DPS/RCS, 30-minute activation checklist. Next, is at TEI minus 5 hours, MCC-7, if required. Now, we have a LM preentry procedure. First, we maneuver to service module SEP attitude. Second, configure for CSM hotfire. Under that, DEADBAND MAX, and ATTITUDE CONTROL, three, to PULSE. Thirdly, perform CSM hotfire. Fourth, we—The LM maneuvers back to SM SEP attitude, with ATTITUDE CONTROLs, PITCH and ROLL to PULSE, ATTITUDE CONTROL, YAW, to MODE CONTROL. Now, you got that so far, Vance?

That's correct so far, Fred-o.

Okay. At EI minus 4-1/2 hours, configure for SM SEP. First, BALANCE COUPLE, ON. Secondly, zero the counters in AGS; 404, 405, 406, plus 0; read out 470. Thirdly, translate plus-X to 0.5 foot per second. Fourth, CM/SM SEP. Fifth, after SEP, null 470 to 0. Sixth, ATTITUDE CONTROL, three, to PULSE. Seventh, pitch to acquire service module for photos. And a note, use the ACA for control. Last, we had—you gave me was TEI minus 3 hours. Maneuver in ATT HOLD for Moon view until the CM platform release.

Okay, Fred. Only—Only a minor point that we just picked up. At the very top, EI minus 6 hours, the title is “power up,” above BAT 5 NORMAL FEED, ON.

Okay. The title above BAT 5 NORMAL FEED, ON, is “power up.”

Okay. And on the last, it was maneuver and ATT HOLD for Moon view attitude until CM platform release. I think that's what you read. Okay. Ready to go on? EI minus—Are you there?

Okay. Next is—Okay. Next is TEI minus what, Vance?

It's—It's EI minus 2-1/2 hours, Fred.

Okay. EI minus 2-1/2.

Okay. The title, “Power removal from CM LM umbilical.”

Okay. “Power removal from CM LM umbilical.”

That's correct. Next, assumes—This assumes all descent batteries on line.

Okay. I'll put that as a note.

And ASCENT BATTERIES 5 and 6 on NORMAL FEED.

Okay. This assumes all descent BATs on line, and ASCENT BATs 5 and 6 on NORMAL FEED. Go ahead.

Roger. Next, CSM CB LM POWER 1, MAIN B to open.

Okay. CSM, CB LM POWER 1, MAIN B, open.

Next. CB, LM POWER 2, MAIN B, open.

Okay. CSM, CB LM POWER 2, MAIN B, open.

CB EPS SENSOR SIGNAL, MAIN B to open.

Okay. CB EPS SENSOR SIGNAL, MAIN B, open.

Okay. Next, the LM. CB, EPS panels 11 and 16, CROSS TIE BALANCE LOADS to close.

Okay. On the LM side now. CB EPS 11, panels 11 and 16, CROSS TIE BAL LOADS, close.

That's correct. Next, CB EPS panel 16, BAT FEED TIE, two of them, open.

Okay. LM, CB EPS, panel 16, BAT FEED TIE, two, open.

Okay. CB EPS 16, ASCENT ECA CONTROL to close.

Okay. CB EPS panel 16, ASCENT ECA CONTROL, close.

Correct. BATTERY 1, HI VOLT—HIGH VOLTAGE to OFF/RESET.

Okay. BATTERY 1, HI VOLT, OFF/RESET.

BATTERY 5, OFF/RESET.

Okay. BATTERY 5, HI VOLT—or, it should be BATTERY 5 NORMAL FEED to OFF/RESET.

Roger. And—Stand by.

Or did you mean battery 2?

Yes. I think that's what he meant.

Okay. We mean BATTERY 5 to OFF/RESET.

Okay.

That's a NORMAL FEED.

BATTERY 5, NORMAL FEED—NORMAL FEED, OFF/RESET. Got you.

Okay. BAT 2, LOW VOLTAGE, OFF/RESET then ON.

Okay. BATTERY 2, LOW VOLT, OFF/RESET, then ON.

Roger. PRESSURE REGs A and B, close.

REGs A and B to close.

CABIN REPRESS valve, close.

REPRESS VALVE, close.

SUIT FAN, OFF.

How many more steps, Vance?

Two after this, Fred-o.

Okay. Stand by.

Maybe you need a scroll, yet.

Yes.

I want to ask him why all these steps just to get rid of a LM that's going to burn up in a half hour. Seems ridiculous. God damn it. Too many guys —

SUIT FAN, OFF.

— got in the act.

Okay. The last one was SUIT FAN, OFF. Hey, Jim, Deke said he thought you were asleep.

Okay. All these steps woke me up.

Okay. We'll try to be quieter. Except I don't know how. Okay, Fred-o —

I got my audio breaker on.

Did you get SUIT FAN, OFF?

Yes. SUIT FAN, OFF.

Okay. Circuit breakers, panel—circuit breaker panel 16 rather. ECS, CABIN REPRESS to open.

Okay. CB panel 16, ECS, CABIN REPRESS, open.

Roger. OVERHEAD DUMP VALVE, closed. Maybe Jim has a point there, though.

Yes. OVERHEAD DUMP VALVE close, and it is already.

Right. Okay. That's all for the ECS. Next, ATTITUDE CONTROL, three, to MODE CONTROL.

Okay. Stand by 1.

Oh, stand by 1, Fred. We'd like to—change the position of that ATTITUDE CONTROL, three, MODE CONTROL to be just under CM free. That's a more convenient time.

Yes, I agree. Okay. Under, it'll be my item B, after verify CM free, it's ATT CONTROL, three, to MODE CONTROL.

And, along with that, DEADBAND, MAX.

Okay. Three to MODE CONTROL, comma, DEADBAND to MAX.

Next verify —

If I don't sound too clear, it's because I'm holding a flashlight between my teeth.

Roger.

Okay.

Okay. Now —

Okay. I think I'm—I'm up with you. Go ahead, Vance.

Okay. Now again down at the bottom beneath ECS, verify transfer list.

Okay. Verify transfer list.

IVT to CM, and close hatch.

What was that—What was the first part of that?

Transfer yourself to the CM. Or rather, IVT, that's the commander to the CM, and close hatch.

Okay.

Actually, it's commander transfer to CM and you mean close hatches. Plural, right?

That's correct. Yes.

Okay.
