Okay, Aquarius; Houston. That attitude looks pretty good. How's Jack getting along?
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Again for fuel-consumption reasons, we'd like you to go back to the AGS mode you were in rather than PGNS ATT HOLD. Over.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. I'm in PGNS MINIMUM IMPULSE right now while we're firing. And I'll go back to the AGS mode.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Soon as we get rid of the service module, Joe, I think I'll be able to maneuver a lot better.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
I think so, but let me check. Aquarius, Houston. That's affirmative. You can jettison the service module when you are ready; no big rush, but any time.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. Sounds good.

Roger. We recommend that you use the AGS for the separation maneuver, because we'd like to get the proper weight in for the DAP before we use the PGNS again.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Beautiful, beautiful. And for you information, Jim, you'll be coming up on an RCS caution light for helium. No sweat. Over.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Right by the—Look out there, will you? Right by the high gain antenna, the whole panel is blown out, almost from the base to the engine.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
That's the way it looks; unless that's just a dark brown streak. It's really a mess.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. We'd like you to get some pictures, but we want you to conserve RCS. Don't make unnecessary maneuvers.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
And, Jim; Houston. In particular, of course, we don't want any translation maneuvers.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Right on that. Joe, you realize that when I went up to the SM SEP attitude, I had to use TTCA to do it.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, Joe, I'm now looking down the SPS bell, and it looks—looks okay on the inside; maybe it is just a streak.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Copy that, Fred. Was the bell deformed on the outside or just nicked or what?
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
I think the explosion, from what I could see, Joe, had—had stained it. I don't know whether it did any actual deformation or not.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
And, Joe, looks like a lot of—a lot of debris is just hanging out the side near the S-band antenna.
