Okay. Good deal. Jack, let me mention something about the hatch integrity check. You're going to vent the tunnel until you get a 3-psi DELTA-P. That should take 9 or 10 minutes, and it's our firm feeling that you don't have to wait another 10 minutes after that for a leak check. If it holds pressure for a minute or so or even gets down there, you know you've got a good hatch. Over.

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. We think that you were just pressurizing the cabin up to that regulator's particular SPEC.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. We're observing middle gimbal angle getting a little bit high. The LM appears to be deadbanding okay within its attitude, but just wanted you to know that we're keeping an eye on it and if it does get too high, we might want you to punch off early.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Joe. Since we're ahead of the time line, can I proceed on and kind of punch off early, or do you want me to punch off at exactly 1 hour?
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Odyssey, Houston. We just had a formal GO for LM JETT at your convenience. Over.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Odyssey; Houston. We're ready for you to bring the BMAGs ON and WARM UP and all other things being equal, we'd like you to go through the LM JETT at—on the checklist you've got. And that is BMAGs 1 —

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)

Okay. I'm reminded that the entry DAP is all you've got. It'll initialize itself, and you won't have an—you won't have an RCS DAP, so you don't have to fool with it.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. I'm coming down here to a step that says FDAI POWER, off. Is that what you want right now, I guess, huh?
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jack. That FDAI POWER, OFF, is to stop momentary gliches as you bring up the BMAG to put it on, and you turn right around and put the FDAI POWER right back on 1.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. And I don't have the BMAG TEMP light out yet. Do you want me to go ahead and put the BMAG ON with the TEMP light still ON?
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
That's affirm. We can go ahead and you'll have a good stable rate.

Odyssey, Houston. We can give you a GO if you'll put the LOGIC ON momentarily first.

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)

Key moment Jettisoning the lunar module: Okay. Just copied that, and you are GO for PYRO ARM.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jack. We'll have a pad for you in a few minutes. We're getting data now on the tracking, and although we suspect the changes from your preliminary pad will be very small, we recommend that you hold off on initializing the EMS until we get you the final pad. Over.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. Your CABIN is looking real good. We recommend you turn the SUIT COMPRESSOR to OFF now. Over.

Okay. Mid-PAC, 000152, 000; 142:38:19, 178; and you recall that's GET moonset and Moon-check attitude. NOUN 61, minus 21.66, minus 165.37; 05.2; 3621.1, 6.20; 1119.7, 36291; 142:40:46; 00:30; the next four are N/A; DO is 4.00, 02:20; 00:19, 03:38, 07:59. The rest of the pad is N/A for this one. You are lift vector up at the very bottom. And the remarks all remain the same; if you want me to copy them, let me know; otherwise, you can read back. Over.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Okay. Entry pad as follows: Mid-PAC, 000152, 000; 142:38:19, 178; minus 21.66, minus 165.37; 05.2; 3621.1, 6.20; 1119.7, 36291; 142:40:46; 00:30; all the DLS are N/A. DO is 4.00, 02:20; 00:19, 03:38, 07:59. All the rest are N/A, except lift vector which is up; and I have the the …
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. That's a tiny hair shallower than we had you before, but it's based on solid tracking, and it still is lift vector up comfortably.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
And, Odyssey, Houston. We're also sending you a final PIPA bias update and clock increment. Over.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
All I've heard was that it's that the cabin was holding pressure. I haven't heard anything more. And, Odyssey, we're ready for you to warm up the BMAG number 2's at your discretion and we're curious whether the Moon check attitude is good. Over.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Yes, Joe, it's coming down. I got just about 45 degrees now and it's coming on down.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. You're still looking real fat on power. We show you having over 30 amps on the water. If you do get into a bind and don't come up—that's amp-hours—don't come up with Recovery, you can always power down and you can always put the pyro batteries on the line if you need them after you're down.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jack. This is Houston. We've got POWER, and you can cycle it for 10 minutes if you so desire, but we don't think you need to do it. Over.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
That's affirmative. Hold it just a second; we are looking at 6.13 and 4.80. I'll get a check on that.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
I know all of us here want to thank all you guys down there for the very fine job you did.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
I'll tell you—We all had a good time doing it.

Okay, Odyssey; Houston. Just for your information, it looks as though battery C will deplete around main chute time; that's expected; you've got plenty of amp-hours in the other batteries.
-
Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, I was just going to tell you about that handover we just had, but I was a little late on the—on the ball. Since we're fat on power and we'd kind of like to have S-band with you after blackout—we'd—We'd like you to delete the step on your entry checklist page 2-5, after “Begin blackout,” it says “POWER PMP to OFF.” We'd like you to leave it on if you think of it. Over.

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. At 10 minutes to 400 K, you're looking good; we're real happy with the trajectory, and a minute ago, we just lost contact with your friend Aquarius.

Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)

Hey, just as I said that, we got another burst of LM data, so I guess it's still ticking.
