Jim Lovell (CDR): Vance, Jim.
05 09 08 41
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Jim.
05 09 08 43
Jim Lovell (CDR): Have we looked seriously now at just the essential things required to make a safe LM jettison? We're not—I don't think we have the time to really do any engineering data that people might want to look at as this thing goes into the atmosphere.
05 09 09 06
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Well, Jim. I—I think that that was what everybody aimed for, and people down here feel that it's the essentials, that it's what you need.
05 09 09 19
Jim Lovell (CDR): Well, we'll do everything you think is essential, but I just don't want to be throwing switches at the last minute. What we're really thinking about, getting that command module in good shape.
05 09 09 35
Tom Stafford: Hey, Jim. This is Tom. The only reason we're bringing up the PGNS is to have another reference system just to control the LM when you jettison the thing. Over.
05 09 09 45
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Okay, Tom. It's—I thought the—an AGS ATT HOLD would have been sufficient for this, when we first thought about this.
05 09 09 53
Tom Stafford: Yes. I agree. But we decided just in case we have any glitch with the AGS, we want to make sure we get that LM off in a good shape. And I agree with you on keeping out all the garbage on it.
05 09 10 03
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Tom.
