05 16 20 16
Jack Swigert (CMP): Okay. I just can't, right—I just can't read my writing, ESSENTIAL INSTRUMENTATION POWER MAIN B, closed.
05 16 20 20
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): That's affirmative.
05 16 21 39
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
05 16 21 45
Fred Haise (LMP): Go ahead, Joe.
05 16 21 46
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. The word we have is that you can't make a VERB 49 maneuver to the LM jettison attitude because those are FDAI angles we gave you, they don't correspond to the gimbal angles for the load; it'll have to be a manual maneuver. Over.
05 16 22 05
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
05 16 22 06
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): And mind out for gimbal lock.
05 16 22 12
Fred Haise (LMP): We will.
05 16 42 01
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
05 16 42 05
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
05 16 42 07
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. We're looking at LM current, to see if Jack has started his preheat, and we haven't seen it yet. Is he doing okay down there?
05 16 42 24
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Jack said he's already started it, and he said that in 1 more minute, he'll be up to 20 minutes.
05 16 42 31
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Oh. Roger that.
05 16 42 42
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Jim, Houston. Have him let us know what his test meter reads when he's done.
05 16 42 51
Jim Lovell (CDR): He says that he had a battery A voltage drop of 2 volts, and he'll try to look at the test meter for you right now.
05 16 42 55
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay.
05 16 42 58
Jim Lovell (CDR): He's been looking at them, but they haven't been coming up, so far.
05 16 43 02
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): We copy.
05 16 43 23
Jim Lovell (CDR): Do you see a current now, Houston?
05 16 43 28
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Stand by 1 on that, Jim. That's affirmative, Jim; it looks like we are seeing one now.
05 16 43 43
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. And thanks for keeping us on it.
05 16 43 51
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay.
05 16 46 43
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
05 16 46 46
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead.
05 16 46 47
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. Reminder P41 for the RCS burn.
05 16 46 54
Jim Lovell (CDR): Thanks for keeping us honest.
05 16 46 57
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): We got to protect our jobs, Jim.
05 16 47 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): We've been DPS-ing so long here.
05 16 47 12
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Yes.
05 16 54 30
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. I finished up the maneuvers, the AUTO maneuver in 41, but only roll and yaw needles seem to be offset. Pitch is okay.
05 16 54 41
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. We copy. Stand by. Aquarius, Houston. We recommend PGNS MODE CONTROL to ATT HOLD. Save a little gas and stand by on the error needles.
05 16 55 01
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay.
05 17 04 39
Fred Haise (LMP): Houston, Aquarius.
05 17 04 53
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Did you call?

05 17 04 57
Fred Haise (LMP): Roger, Joe. Figured, if we're going to do this burn in PGNS now, I ought to give you an update on the contingency book pages 32, 33, and 34, because the last time we went through this portion, we were burning it in ACS.
05 17 05 22
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Fred. Stand by. We've been talking about possibly having you do it in ACS. We recommend at this time that you do an ACS to PGNS aline, the 400 plus 3 procedure only. Over.
05 17 05 44
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay.
05 17 06 19
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): And, Aquarius, Houston
05 17 06 23
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
05 17 06 24
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. We recommend that you perform this burn in AGS, as you did the last midcourse manuever; we think it will save gas. Over.
05 17 06 36
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Joe, do you want me to line up the same way we did the last one, too?
05 17 06 42
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Stand by on that.
05 17 06 57
Fred Haise (LMP): And, Joe, Jack just handed me some injector temperatures, if you want to read these on … so I can plug them in.
05 17 07 05
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Roger. Go ahead with those.

05 17 07 07
Fred Haise (LMP): Okay. 5 Charlie, 14.0; 5 Dogs, 3.7; 6 Able, 3.5; 6 Bravo, 4.1; 6 Charlie, 4.2; 6 Delta, 3.8.
05 17 07 21
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay. Copy those, Fred.
05 17 09 09
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
05 17 09 11
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
05 17 09 13
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM): Okay, Jim. Our recommendation on this burn is that you maneuver to the burn attitude, in PGNS MIN IMPULSE, then do a body-axis aline, 400 plus 5, followed by 400 plus 0, and then do the burn in AGS. Over.
05 17 09 34
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Now we're spinning it with the PGNS, what you gave us for a PGNS attitude. Is this the wrong one? Do you want me to just to aline up the Earth as I did before in the last midcourse?
