CDR: I - I think we answer to number 9. We - at around 5:32, I think, was when we think the number 5 light came on in the S-II, and a definite vibration which was more than just a high-frequency vibration we got with the normal S-IV burn, and then the light came on. I called ECO thinking from the training that it was 7:42 and looked up at the time and realized it was early. And then, soon after the light came on, the vibration stopped and the engine or the booster smoothed down. It was very smooth from there on.
CC: Okay. This may be a stupid question, but do you have any idea what the frequency of it was?
CDR: Only to say that it was much higher - I couldn't really guesslInow. It was rather a rapid longi- tudinal vibration.
CC: Okay, Jim. Stand by now for a minute, we're going to switch OMNI.
CDR: Houston, 13, _..
CC: 13, Houston. I read you. We still have quite a bit of noise on the loop.
CDR: I'11 stand by. Roger.
CC: Okay, Jim. It should be pretty good now. We copied you answering question number 9.
CDR: Do you want any more comments on the S-IVB vibrations?
CC: I don't think so. When you get all done, I'11 - I'11 make a quick check to see if the booster people have any - any additional questions. You skipped number 8, Jim; could you go back to that for a second?
CDR: Our only comment there, Joe, was that the burn on TLI, to our knowledge, was about 3-3/4 second longer than had been predicted and that was the only thing that we really noticed; otherwise, looked like PI [?] was nominal at cut-off.
CC: Okay, understand.
CDR: Okay, on comparing the flight of 13 to Apollo 8, lift-off was about the same amount of vibration as I noticed on 8, but at the beginning of the flight, there was less of the sideways motion than we experienced on Apollo 8. The S-IC separa- tion felt more violent on 13 than it did on 8, maybe that's because I was in a different seat, I don't know. But there was about three sharp transients of the cut-off and a couple of big bangs where we were thrown backwards longitudinally on our straps before the S-II went off. And the S-II was, of course, Just as smooth on 13 as 8 except for the number 5 engine. And we did not experience the vibration that we experienced on 8 towards the end of the S-II burn. And the S-IVB was - had more vibration than we had on 8.
CC: Okay, Jim, got all that.
CDR: The up - the update on the ORDEAL ball was a good one. At the burn, we were about - just about 8 degrees. We had to pitch down. The yaw was right on all the way through the entire burn, and Just towards the end of the burn, the ball started going black in pitch a little bit.
CC: Okay, sounds good, we'11 give Mike Wash a gold star on that one. Okay, Jim, stand by 1 while I see if we have any extra questions.
CC: Jim, while we're waiting to see if they have any more questions, I'd like to read you the booster people's preliminary analysis on the - the S-II cut-off. Over.
CDR: That would be very interesting. Go ahead.
CC: Okay, preliminary analysis of the data indicates that the center S-II engine vibrated at a some- what higher amplitude than we've seen on previous flights, and it started at about 160 seconds into the S-II burn. As a result of these vibrations, the engine chamber pressure decreased to the level where the two low-level thrust sensors, the thrust- okay sensors, initiated center engine cut-off. Early evaluation of data indicates that no damage occurred to the engine, and the cause of the in- creased vibration amplitude is still under inves- tigation. Over.
CDR: I thought it was the center engine.
CC: Yes, right.
CDR: Joe, do you have any word on what marks we had for TLI?
CC: At the time of TLI, as I recall, you had 6 seconds longer than the nominal burn which was 3 seconds longer than the B-sigma Iow burn, and you were also GO for a second-opportunity TLI if we had re- quired one.
CDR: Okay, we were Just wondering because it appeared to us that we had a longer TLI burn than had been predicted.
CC: Yes, you did. We confirmed that - that - that cut-off time Just about as you saw it, and I don't have an explanation for it, but it was within the B-sigma margin.
CC: Roger, we have no further questions. All the answers were clear and satisfactory, and we thank you very much. You can press on with the rest of your busy day.
CDR: Right-o.
LMP: And, Houston; 13.
LMP: Okay, Joe. Out window 5, I just picked up the tumbling object again so, for sure, it must have been a SLA panel. I don't think we could still be in the proximity of the S-IV at this time.
CC: I don't think so, Fred. It's several hundred miles aft of you. 700 miles is - is the number, I'm told. And since the SLA panel didn't make the midcourse correction, that might be it. Psge 72
LMP: Yes, it's, I can't really tell for sure even through the ,_nocular that it is, but it looks the same relative position to the stars. And the best I can tell about the same intensity and still about the same distance from us.
CC: Can you see it tumbling. Does it have a shape, or is it a point?
LMP: No. I can tell it's tumbling; I guess the flat side not only is facing me, it's not only much brighter, it also grows larger.
CC: Okay. Very interesting. We'11 see if we can figure out where that's relative to you. They keep updating the S-IV impact on us a little bit. The last guess we had was that it will impact about the sue longitude we gave you but close to zero latitude and a little bit later. You still won't be able to see it. And they're say- ing it might make a - -
CC: - - they're saying it might make a 100 to 120 foot crater, too.
LMP: It'11 still be past the terminator for us for awhile.
CC: Right. It will be at about the REV 20 terminator, so it will be late in your lunar orbit activities before you will be able to photograph it, and FAO is looking at whether we can work that in or not.
CC: lB, Houston.
CMP: Hey, Joe? Is FAO ready to - do you - or are you ready to give me those items that we made optional and deleted in the solo book?
CC: Jack, we are not quite ready with that yet, but we will be before too long. Can you wait awhile? Tape
CMP: Sure can. Got lots of time.
CDR: Hello, Houston; Apollo 13.
CDR: Just a passing comment, Joe. We're having lunch right now, and I Just made myself a hotdog sandwich with catsup. Very tasty and almost unheard of in the old days.
CC: That's correct, lB. As I recall the flight plan, you're supposed to put mustard on the hot dogs and not catsup, but I guess we'11 overlook that.
CMP: We blew it.
CC: Right. How's everything going?
CDR: It's going pretty good. We have about four dif- now. ferent methods of spreading catsup, right
CC: Okay. Jack, we'11 have your update to you before too long.
CMP: Okay. Fine, Joe. We did a pit check on the Hycon camera and everything works okay.
CC: Okay. Beautiful. We don't have anything else for you at the moment.
LMP: Okay. We'd like to get the FM up now to look at some inside pictures there.
CC: Okay. Stand by and I'11 get a GO on this.
LMP: Go ahead. Fred,
CC: That's acceptable, and meanwhile, when you guys are ready to copy, we've got an MCC-2 pad for you. Stand
LMP: Okay. by 1. And
CC: Roger that. also if you can go to P00 and ACCEPT conveniently, we'd like to uplink.
LMP: Okay, Joe. You can go ahead with the P30 pad. SPS/G&N:
CC: Okay. Here we go. MCC-2, 63634; plus 0.96, minus 0.23; 030:40:49.00; minus 0021.7, N/A, minus 0001.7, minus 0008.0; 080, 164, 326; N/A; 0023.2, 0:03.5 - We'11 give you half a second on the burn time because it's so short - 0018.5; 44, 135.9, 28.1; and the rest is N/A. Comments: set stars 31 and 23; roll aline 288, pitch 205, yaw 034; no ullage, LM weight 33499, and over.
LMP: Okay. MCC-2, SPS/G&N: 63634; plus 0.96, minus 0.23, 030:40:49.00; minus 0021.7, minus 0001.7, minus 0008.0; 080, 164, 326; N/A, N/A; 0023.2, burn time 0:03.5, 0018.5; 44, 135.9, 28.1; and the rest N/A. Set stars 31, 23; roll aline 288, pitch 205, yaw 034; no ullage, LM weight 33499.
CC: Roger. Readback correct. I have two more short comments on them, but I want to wait just a second and make sure I understand them before I pass them to you. Page 7%
CC: Okay, Fred; Houston.
CC: The two additional comments were Just that, first of all, they biased DELTA-V C by minus 0.34 feet per second based on your EMS null bias cheeks. That's Just for information. And the second one also for information is that your targeted pericynthion is 60 miles after this correction.
LMP: Okay, understand. For Jack's information the EMS DELTA-V bias is 3.4, and our targeted pericynthion after this meueuver is 60 miles.
CC: That's correct on the pericynthion. The EMS bias is 0.34, very small.
LMP: Okay. 0.34 on the EMS DELTA-V bias.
CC: Roger. And - -
CMP: Hey, Joe, we'11 give - -
CC: Go ahead, Jack - -
CMP: We'11 give you - we'11 give you the read - we'11 give you the results of another null bias test for comparative purposes right before the - oh, at the proper time.
CC: Okay. Real fine; and the computer is yours.
CMP: Okay. Thank you. Going BLOCK.
CMP: Okay, Houston; 13. Are you copying the torquing angles on the P527
CC: Okay, Jack. Give us a second.
CC: And, 13, Houston. We have them. You can torque them.
CMP: Okay, Joe. Time of torquing 29 hours 0 minute 30 seconds.
CC: Hey, you've got a new OAPCOM on now with the Black Crew, and we have about three items to give you, Jack.
CMP: Okay. Stand by 1. Are these updates or what? antenna
CC: I'm going to give you some high gain angles for TV and the rest is Just information, general words.
CDR: Go ahead ...
CC: Okay. Burn attitude for TV, your pitch and yaw angles are as follows: PITCH minus i - minus 69, YAW 180, HIGH GAIN.
CC: Okay. Second point is that you're GO for MCC-2. Everything's looking good here.
CMP: Okay. Real fine.
CC: And the last item's for Jack. Jack, the pre- liminary indications are that you can get a 60-day extension on your - filing your income tax if you're out of the country.
CMP: That's good news. I guess I qualify.
CC: Yes, we were Just looking at the map, and you're south of Florida so you're not in the country now. But we wondered how about your car tags. Have you taken care of those?
CMP: Yes, I did, as a matter of fact. I think I did:
LMP: Known as, "plan ahead."
CC: And, Apollo 13, Houston. Recommend OMNI Alfa until you get to the burn attitude.
CMP: Okay. OMNI Alfa. 20/1 Tape
CMP: Okay, Houston; Apollo 13.
CC: 13, go ahead.
CMP: Okay, Vance. The EMS DELTA-V pass passive, the results of the no-bias pass in 100 seconds, have been from 100 to 101.5.
CC: Roger. Copy plus 100 to plus 101.5, and that agrees fairly closely with the last one, as I recall.
CMP: Okay, Houston. We're at P40 burn attitude. Jim is on the sextant star check, and we do have a star in the sextant.
CC: Roger, Jack. Copy. Very good.
CMP: But we oould't tell you whether it's 44 or not.
CC: Whoops.
CMP: Okay, Houston; 13. We're a little bit ahead of ourselves. Do we have a GO to do the fuel cell purge and the waste water dump?
CC: Jack, that's affirm. You have a GO for those.
CC: Jim, battery A is charged now. Whenever you want to unhook it will be fine with us.
CMP: Houston, 13. Are you still planning to have TV at the scheduled time?
CC: Okay, 13; Houston. That's affirm. At the flight- plan-scheduled time.
CMP: Okay. All right. We've got a beautiful sight we want to show you.
CC: 13, Houston. You can go ahead with the TV now. We're standing by.
CMP: Okay. Here it comes.
CC: Okay. Jack. It's coming in, and it's right in the center of our screen.
CMP: Okay, Vance.
LMP: Can you - Think you could guess what that might be, Vance? Better than Charlie?
CC: I don't want to start flipping coins at this point.
CMP: Okay, Vance. We're pointed just a little ways off from looking directly at the Moon. Jim is holding the camera through window 3. The Sun is coming at about 40 degrees off our left side, and what we are going to show you in just a minute is about 30 seconds of waste water dump and Just show you Just what it looks like. It's really fantastic.
CC: Okay. We'd like to see that.
CC: Okay. We saw some droplets speeding out for a little while, Jack. Now we don't see anything.
CDR: Actually, Vance, what you're looking at is solid water droplets coming out just about all the time. It lights up the whole sky around the Moon. It's Just far too fine for you to see. Now I think they're coming out a little thicker.
CC: Okay. Yes, we see those.
CDR: Jack's complaining about seeing stars.
CC: FIDO says he can understand why that would perturbate a trajectory now.
CDR: It's amazing watching these little frozen droplets maneuver. They seem to go in all directions, but finally after they get out a certain ways, settle down and they all seem to be traveling in the same direction.
CC: Right. That's coming in real well.
CDR: The objects in the foreground are parts of the LM that you're looking at.
CDR: The camera is now going to ...
CC: We can Just barely see those parts of the LM. They must be in a shadow.
CDR: Okay. Now you are looking at a thruster quad at the lower part of your screen.
LMP: I've got the f-stop all the way open now, Vance; that's quad - quad i you're looking at with the LM should - The Moon should be in view Just over the top of the quad.
CC: Right. We see the nozzle of the quad, but it's dark and it's not easy to see.
CC: 13, Houston. INCO suggests you try AVERAGE if you're in PEAK to see if that gives us a better picture.
LMP: Okay. We're in AVERAGE now.
CC: I think that helps out. We can see it better.
CC: Okay. Now, 13, request you either move it away from the bright area or else move it back to PEAK. Over.
LMP: Okay, Vance. I cranked the focus down a little bit. Is the quad coming in any better now?
CC: It's coming in about the same, Fred, and you're a little weak now on the COMM..
CC: We could see when you went back to PEAK.
LMP: And I'm now ... all the way out.
CC: Okay. We could see you zoom in on the Moon, and it's near the center of our screen, Just a little to the left. Very clear.
LMP: Yes. I show it Just about at 38.
CC: We can't tell if it's gray or light brown, though.
LMP: Do you have your grid down there, Vance?
CC: That's negative, Fred.
LMP: I don't know if you can make out the features there, Vance, on the Moon, but it looks like the terminators are at central plains area somewhere around Descartes, maybe.
CC: Okay. We're -We see it Just as a bright portion of the lunar disk, and it looks a lot like you see it from Earth. Very bright. We are unable to see any features at all.
LMP: It's pretty much the same with the eyeballs in here, and it looks a little bigger now. But the only way I could see it very good at all was with the monocular, a little while ago.
CC: Okay, Fred. Very good. We'd be interested to seeing the cabin when you get ready for that, too.
CC: Okay. I'11 set up now.
CDR: And, Vance, we're counting down to midcourse-2, we're up to, in our checklist, to minus' 6 minutes to go.
CC: Roger. Minus 6 minutes. Understand you're about ready to turn on the gimbal motors and all that sort of thing. Okay. We see the computer now in the upper middle part of the - the panel. I think we see somebody's checklist in the center couch. It must be Jim holding the checklist.
LMP: Right. And what Jim's holding now, he's got a pen in his hand we've rigged on a string, as sort of a simple-minded accelerometer. This burn's pretty short and I'm not sure even that's going to show very much. But we'11 see if it'11 stretch out at the end of its string.
CC: Yes. We see the pencil at the top of the picture floating around. And Jack's coming into view now.
LMP: And I've gone back - Okay, I've gone back to AVERAGE now and ... pitch up.
LMP: Now in a few minutes, Vance, I guess we'11 see how about the only system we haven't used yet works. Everything else sure has worked mighty fine.
CC: Right. The spacecraft's really working nicely. Okay. We're picking up panel 2 now. Still a little bit of the checklist.
LMP: Wondering if you can pick up the caution array there?
CC: Right. We Just saw your - your testing of the caution and warning system at the left-hand side of the panel on our TV. See the lights all flash on. You're doing it again.
CC: You mission timer's showing up as a - a brilliant green in the upper leFt-hand part of the picture.
LMP: Roger. I got the camera kind of canted on you here, Vance.
CMP: Vance, Jim's going to go to VOX now.
CDR: Vance, how do you - -
CC: Roger. Read you loud and clear, Jim.
CDR: Okay. We'11 - what we'11 do - We'11 be on VOX for the remainder of the burn and preburn count- down.
CDR: ... And what we're waiting for is 5_ minutes on our counter or 20 which would be minus - -
CC: Jim, we hear clipping on your VOX. Could you adjust it so that you're coming in continuously all the time?
CDR: l, 2, 3, 4, 5. How's that, Vance?
CC: Okay. That's better.
CMP: Vance, how do you read the CMP on VOX?
CC: Jack, read you loud and clear.
CDR: We show minus 8-1/2 minutes.
CC: Roger. Houston copies.
CDR: Close --
LMP: Is that too close, Vance, or can you make out the SPS engine panel now?
CC: We can see your fuel and oxidizer gages and hydrogen/oxygen gages at the top of the picture and the PUGS, but it isn't coming in in focus too well. It's a little dim.
LMP: Yes. I think the problem is I'm about 2 feet and it doesn't go down but to 4.
CC: Right. We understand that's the panel right in front of your face.
CDR: Okay. Vance, stand by for the main ...
LMP: Okay. We're minus 7 minutes.
CC: Fred, the focus is good enough that we can see the position of your four ball valves at the top of the picture for the big SPS engine.
CDR: What would you like to watch, Vance?
CMP: Hopefully, you'11 see the - or we'11 see the two on the left here, set A, go on here directly - -

LMP: Yes, we were on those ... so that we had less than 0.2.
CC: Okay. Houston copied your residuals, very iow.
LMP: Okay. Fuel is 1.0; oxidizer 0.25; the OX un- balance is reading on the decrease, which doesn't mean very much, and I guess that wasn't too much for a push there, Vance. I didn't see the accel- erometer do a whole lot and it was a little sur- prising how slowly the injector valves opened, at least on the indicators.
CC: Roger. That was a very short burn. Request you give us a sweep across the panel when you get a chance, Fred. Let us see Jack and Jim again. Over.
CMP: Okay, Vance, I was going to show you on - wonder if the folks might - down there might be inter- ested in how we find out how far we're away from the Moon. Going to do that right now in pro- gram 21 here.
CMP: I'm asking the computer how far away we are. And the computer is telling me we're 121 490 miles out.
CC: Okay. That agrees fairly closely with our map on the wall.
CMP: I'm glad. That means you're tracking us too.
CDR: And if you didn't see our residuals, it was 0.1 X, 0.2 on Y, and 0.1 Z, and DELTA-V C was minus 3.8.
CC: Jack, Houston. We show you down here 121 thou- sand miles 520 out. So I guess we all agree.
CMP: Okay. Real good, Vance. What I'm going to do is give you a shot of Fred.
LMP: If we can get all the wiring out of the way.
CMP: The big problem here is, when you move the TV around, this wire follows you like a snake here.
CC: Yes, we have Fred now. Looks like he has a lariat there, getting ready to rope the checklist.
LMP: That's only half of it. We have most of it hidden away. It's been pretty interesting doing all the camera work here to get a little extra training running the TV here, hopefully for when we get on the ground at Fra Mauro. The monitor does make it pretty easy though.
CC: Right. That's a real advantage in the cockpit. You're just a little bit dark. It looks like it might help to have the f-stop run down about one increment. See how it comes out - -
LMP: Can't do it, we're wide open.
CC: Are you?
CDR: I think we're wide open - -
CMP: Yes. We're wide open, Vance.
CMP: Okay. Does that help any, Vance?
CC: Okay. It's reasonablly good. We can make out Fred fairly well. Looks like he's in a shadow. Hey, that helps. You just turned up the lights, huh?
CMP: Yes. We went fixed on the - -
CC: Okay. You're on candid camera.
CDR: We did notice one thing, Vance. You know that new fad with long hair? It won't work too well up here in space.
CC: What was that one again?
CDR: I say, you know the new - the new fad with long hair?
CDR: It doesn't work too well up in space, you can't comb your hair up here.
CC: Well, I guess you have to give up something.
CC: Well, at least it - it helps to try. We can see you trying to comb your hair there, Jim. It looks like your - your beards haven't come along to the point where you've had to use the razor though.
CDR: Well, we've been debating that. We thought we'd take care of our beards tomorrow and make that one of our daily routines.
LMP: I take it that was a subtle hint, Vance.
CC: No, no. We're not commenting on your appearance, F_red. I mean nothing derogatory, understand.
CDR: _n_d, Vance, thought we'd get a picture of Jack Just so that all the girls know that he's still here.
CC: Yes, we - we appreciate that. There he is. Big Jack.
CC: Jack, you're in the shadow right now; we have a little bit of interference from your window, which is very bright, so we can't - I think you're smiling, but it's a little hard to tell.
CC: Hey, there we go. Incidentally, we've been getting ali kinds of tits of information to pass up to you. We've had baseball scores coming in, basketball. Somebody said there's 220 days, shopping days left until Christmas.
CMP: Yes. Who won the Masters, Vance?
CC: It was a tie in the Masters and stand by. It was a tie between Littler and Casper after 72 holes, and there is going to be a playoff Monday, we understand.
CMP: Oh. Sounds good.
CC: One thing the world might be interested in knowing is what you do after the burn in the way of configuring switches back. We - We heard you go through the checklist. But, I guess right now, basically, you probably have all the switches back in position and you're in the mode to con- tinue on with - Okay. What does the flight plans say? You're going to be doing cislunar naviga- tion. So, Jack you're going to be down in the LEB. Is that correct?
CMP: That's right, Vance. Be going down there shortly.
CC: Okay. The TV now is all but black. Looks like it must be pointing into a shadow.
CMP: What he's doing, he's trying to give you one more shot of the Moon, and right now I'm setting to maneuver pad and the optics calibration attitude.
LMP: And what I wanted to point out, I don't know if it's apparent, but ... to show the advantage of doing all the dumps just before the burn, we're looking again at the same scene over quad i at the Moon. And now you don't see all the sparkly frozen particles outside there any more. We've sort of run off and left them.
CC: Roger. We - We don't see anything out there any- more in the way of particles leaving the space- craft. We'd suggest, maybe you zoom the Moon in a little bit again so we can see the shape of it better.
CC: Okay. That brings the Moon in. We can see the terminator at the top of' the melon-shaped disk.
LMP: Okay. Now you can see a few of the spark - sparkling particles going across the screen. Those are being emitted from the thrusters. Jack's maneuvering the spacecraft now.
CC: Okay. We can see those very poorly. Well, actually, they are coming in better now. It looks like little specks going from the upper left part of the screen across to the right, and understand those are from the thrusters.
CC: Okay, 13; Houston. Just as an item of interest, advise your speed with respect to the Earth is now 4667 feet per second.
CC: Okay, Apollo 13; Houston. The Moon has been in and out of the - the - our screen here. Right now it's off at the bottom side, but we can still see the particles coming off of the spacecraft.
CMP: Okay. I am going to have to pull it out the window now, Vance. The Sun's coming up on the right side.
CC: Roger. Understand. You - -
CDR: Do you want to see any shots down in the LEB, Vance?
CDR: Do you want to see any of the photographs or do you want the TV down in the LEB?
CC: That's right, Jim. It would be good to see what you are doing down in the LEB or the far corner of the spacecraft where the optics are. Might be interesting to describe what you will do in the next few minutes in the way of sighting.
LMP: Okay, Vance. First we are going to give you a shot of the sleep station.
CC: Okay. The camera's bounced around a little, but we can see the green computer come in every once in a while.
CDR: While Jack is getting the sleep station rolled up, I thought I would show you one interesting corner. We've got a temporary stowage bag here and that's where all our wastepaper and all that goes while we're - after every meal. It's in the right-hand corner down by our dump system.
CC: Roger. Understand. We're looking at the wastebasket.
CDR: And the age-old question that is always asked us is how do we get rid of liquid waste and that line that you see, I think you can see it now, it goes right outside where we open up the over- board drain dump, and all of our waste products, liquid waste products, go out through that line and get dumped overboard.
CC: Roger. Understand, and we can see somebody's foot, as well.
CDR: Okay. Fred is now going down there, and he is going to try to get underneath the sleep station on his side where we have a sleep restraint. And the whole object of that is to ... to position the body between the - between the bottom of the spacecraft and - so it doesn't float up between that and the bottom of the couch.
CC: Roger. The sleep restraint of the hammock is coming into view underneath the couch. It's the white object.
CDR: You perhaps can see the zipper of the h_mock right now. It's the black lines in that white object.
CC: Right. We can see it.
CDR: These hammocks, by the way, are very comfortable. When we first heard about them in the design of Apollo, we thought they weren't necessary, but they turned out to be very nice devices to sleep in.
CDR: I'm trying now to get down there with Fred to show you how it works. I keep floating up, though, but maybe we can get a little shot here.
CC: Okay. We have somebody upside dow_ in the photograph now. Realizing, of course, in - in space there is no really rightside up or upside down. It still looks that way to us.
CDR: Okay. That's - That's Fred now. I'm trying to put him rightside up, for you folks back there in the sleep station. Fred, would you move your hands there so the folks back home can see you?
CC: Okay. That's coming in real clear, Jim. We see Fred in the sleep restaint - restraint.
CDR: As a matter of fact, Vance, I find my - I find Fred down there all the time.
CC: Yes. I can see he appreciates that. Looks fairly comfortable.
CC: Looks like there is a lot of room down there, considering all the boxes on the floor and under- neath the couch.
CDR: It's surprising. There still is quite a bit of room down there even with the Hycon camera box down. And now, I'm going to bring the camera back up.
CDR: Okay, Vance. If there is no more that you would l_ke to see right now, we'11 terminate our little TV for you today.
CC: Okay. Thank you very much, Jim. Appreciated seeing inside the spacecraft and getting a look at the Moon that you're rapidly approaching.
CDR: Roger. This is Odyssey saying goodby.
CC: o'kay. At your convenience we have an item to give you which will have to be copied. It's information on how to photograph Comet Bennett at time 32 hours GET. Over.
LMP: Okay. Stand by i minute.
LMP: Okay, Vance. Go ahead.
CC: Okay. Time 32 hours 00 minutes GET. Instructions at completion of P23, maneuver to following atti- tude: roll ]01.0, pitch 090.0, yaw 000.0. High gain antenna angles will be: pitch minus 23, yaw 93. Use normal PTC procedures to dampen rates. After vehicle's stable, and before spinup, take photographs of Comet Bennett. Use the DAC on the sextant with magazine G. That is, very high-speed black-and-white film, right? That's the dim-light film. Take three photos, one each at 5-, 20-, and 60-seconds' time exposure. Use AUTO optics. NOUN 88 values are R1 plus 34717, R2 minus 08028; R3 plus 35075. Take three photos one each at 5-, 20-, and 60-second time exposure using manual optics. Shaft will be 000.8 degrees, trunnion 12.5 degrees. Comment: Strip off about 50 frames; that is, 2 seconds of - at 24 feet per second be- fore the first frame and after the last frame of the photos. That is, 2 second - 2 seconds at 24 frames per second - before the first frame and after the last frame of photos.
LMP: Is that it, Vance?
CC: And that's all.
LMP: Okay. The time is - The event will be at 32:00; and we're to maneuver to the following attitude; roll 101.0, pitch 090.0, yaw all zips. High gain angles will be pitch minus 23, yaw 93. And we're to use normal PTC procedures to damp the rates. And after damping the rates and before spinup, we're to put the DAC on the sextant with the magazine G, very high-speed black and white film. Then, we're to take three photos, one each at 5-, 20-, and 60-seconds' time exposure using audio - AUTO optics. Our NOUN 88 values RI plus 34717, R 2 minus 08028, R3 plus 35075. Thence, three more photos, one each at 5-, 20-, 60-seconds' time exposure using manual optics. Shaft 0.8 de- grees, trunnion 12.5 degrees. And we're to take 2 - second bursts at 24 frames per second, before and after these pictures.
CC: Your readback is correct, Fred.
CC: Jim, for PTC tonight, request that you disable quads C and D. That's the opposite of last night. Over.
CDR: Okay. For PTC tonight, disable quads C and D.
CC: Roger. And advise in approximately an hour, we'11 have some read-ups whenever you're ready to take them regarding solo book changes.
CDR: Okay. We'11 be standing by for it.
LMP: Have you all got a chance to look at the data on the SPS yet?
CC: Fred, it looks good, but they haven't had a chance to evaluate everything. They'11 probably be finished with looking at strip charts in about 15 minutes, and after that we'11 try to get back with you.
CC: On the P33, just like to verify that you changed the NOUN 88 values for this last star. It looks like they haven't been changed. Over.
CDR: That's better. Let's read you what we - what we have. We have what they had in the flight plan, and if it's been changed from the flight plan, we don't have it.
CC: Stand by 1.
CDR: We think you're right, Vance. It looks like they used the same set of NOUN 88 for both stars by mistake.
CMP: Okay, Vance. That ought to complete the P23s, right?
CC: Okay. Very good, Jack.
CC: We have some results on your - your first star, if you'd like to hear them. The rest of the stars we'11 - we'11 have to give you in a couple of hours. Over.
CC: Okay, the first star: the corrected altitude, 15 kilometers plus or minus 4; effective altitude, 12 kilometers plus or minus 7. As far as the substellar point, the value is arc-minutes - 2 arc-minutes, and that's very good. And, like I said, we'11 get back with you in a couple of hours for the rest.
CC: Okay. We have several items, here. First, is a reminder on the PTC that R I should be 375 - 0.375 degrees as last night, to get 0.3-degree rotation rate. The second one - -
CMP: Okay. Copy that.
CC: Okay. The second one, at 32 hours looking at Bennett's Comet - we want the pictures taken when the spacecraft is as stable as it's going to be before starting PTC. The stability requirement is very high. We weren't sure if you understood that from what we passed up. In addition, the photographs might not show as much as the eye can see of the comet, so if you see anything interesting about the structure of the comet, why, sketching it is in order and is encouraged. Over.
CMP: Okay, Vance. What we'11 do is, when we get to attitude, we'11 disable the quads and do like we did last night; we'11 let GUIDO and you people down there tell us when you think we are stable enough; then we'11 do all this work with the DAC on the sextant, first; and then when we get that done, we'11 go back and put the sextant eyepiece back on and see what we can observe visually.
CC: Okay. That sounds good. Also, while you are waiting for the vehicle to stabilize, it might be interesting to have the eyepiece on and be looking at it visually. Okay. Next item: your SPS burn had no anomalies whatsoever. It was a very good burn.
CMP: OKay. Very good.
CC: Next item: request hydrogen tank i HEATER OFF for balancing purposes.
CC: And Apollo 13, another item: something that we have observed and you might be seeing is a slight TCE fluctuation on fuel cell 3. This fluctuation has been going from about 152 to 160 over a 37-second period. It has been seen on other flights in the past. No one is worried about it, l-l/2 but the usual fluctuation is about degrees instead of 7 seconds, so I thought you should be aware of it.
CMP: Okay, Vance. And one other slight distinction we've noted is the flow of hydrogen versus the oxygen is not exactly matched on fuel cell 3 either.
CC: Okay. We copy. And the last item: we'd like to send you an IRIG update, so at your convenience, request POO and ACCEPT.
CMP: Okay. We are in POO and ACCEPT, Vance.
CMP: Quad C and D are disabled, Vance.
CC: Roger. Disabled. And down here, we see that your hydrogen and oxygen on the fuel cell are exactly matched, so we suspect it's purely a spacecraft read-out problem.
CMP: Okay, Vance, let us know when you're through with the DSKY so we can load NOUN 88?
CC: Roger. We'11 let you know, Jack.
CC: Apollo lB, Houston. The computer's yours, again.
CC: Okay. You're go for the pictures.
CMP: Okay, Vance. We tried our AUTO OPTICS and couldn't pick it up there. We're pointing pretty much right into the Sun, and things are pretty well washed out. And I've gone to MANUAL OPTICS and I'm trying to get 0.8, 12.5 on the shaft and trunnion, and I still can't pick it up. So - it's very light in the sextant, so I kind of think maybe we're too near the Sun to see it.
CDR: That's right, Vance. The sextant is all - it's - it's all milky and it - any comet that could be seen through there is just going to be missed in the background.
CC: Okay, we copy that. We got some discussion. Stand by.
CMP: Okay, Vance, it isn't - we're not looking into the Sun - what we are getting is a large reflection from the Sun behind us off the LM; and it is - it is coming on that quad i there, and that quad is reflecting back into the sextant.
CC: Okay, Jack. Understand. Just a question: if you look through the telescope, can you see the comet at all? Over.
CMP: No, I can't, Vance. It's - it's still too light.
LMP: Say, Vance?
LMP: Are the flowers blooming yet?
CC: Gee, I sure haven't seen any.
CC: Hey, we've - we've got quite a discussion down here on your trying to observe the comet, and this reflection is not unexpected. And give us another minute, and we'11 be back with you on something on that.
CDR: Okay. I doubt very seriously though, if we take any photographs with high-speed black and white with the light coming into the sextant that you're going to get anything out of it.
CC: Okay. Unanimous opinion is that you're right, and we'11 scratch all of this Bennett Comet stuff on the way out, with the hope that conditions will be more favorable after TEI. Over.
CDR: Sounds good. Without the LM, we may have a better chance.
CC: And Apollo 13, you're GO for PTC. Tour rates are very low according to what we can read.
CDR: Roger, Vance.
LMP: Okay. Are you going to give a call on OMNI B, Vance?
LMP: Do you read, Vance?
CC: Roger. Go ahead. Request OMNI B, Fred, and secure the high-gain antenna.
CDR: Go Houston. ahead,
CC: Just something to think about. In about 30 minutes, we can generate the pads that we have yet to send up before the sleep period, so we could sup- port an earlier sleep period if you so desired. And - but, it will take us 30 minutes to get that stuff. The other thing is any time you're ready to copy, I can read up the solo book changes. Over - And, also, two pages in the flight plan.
CDR: Okay, Vance. We're about ready to copy the solo book changes and the flight plan changes, and whenever your pads are ready, we'11 take those. And as far as moving up the sleep period, that's fine, but we'11 - if we don't go to sleep right away, we'11 use it to get out some of our lunar maps and study them.
CC: Okay. And we'11 get busy getting those pads for you as soon as possible then, and I'11 stand by on the copying bit.
CDR: Okay, Vance, I'm ready to copy the solo book changes there. 13 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION 22/1 Tape
CC: Okay. First, turn to page 12. On the right-hand side of the page, starting from the middle of the page down, everything under "Cycle 5 frames, Replace dark side or dark slide" should be deleted until you get to the very bottom of the page where you have "Acquisition MSFN OMNI D" and that should remain in. Also, leave in "Remove window shades ," which is about the third line down from where you start.
CMP: Okay. Okay. Then from "Cycle 5 frames, Replace dark slide," from there on down, delete.
CC: That's everything from there on down, with the exception of "Remove window shades" and at the bottom "Acquisition MSFN OMNI D."
CMP: Okay. Copy.
CC: And that includes in the margin to the left, the "DAP load" that's at the _ery start there and the "0.0507" and "plus 0500," farther down.
CC: Okay. Going to page 13.
CC: Okay, in the left margin, just below 105 hours GET, cross out the "0507" and the "plus 0500," and below that, add in "DAP load" as follows: "10111 and lllll."
CC: Okay. Now, next, at about 105:05, there's a "VERB 48." That should be moved up to 105, and below that, the "VERB 49 maneuver" should be moved up, too.
CMP: Okay. That "VERB 48" should be moved up to 105:05 and also the "VERB 49."
CC: That should be moved up to 105:00. I'm sorry. Both.
CC: And what that does is give you more time to maneuver.
CC: Okay. Next.
CC: Page 14, right-hand side, near the bottom under "Orbital Science," scratch out "Verify DSE ON," and also delete "Visual target 3 on track 180 plus 19," and cross out the penned-in "D5."
CC: Next, page 15, left-hand column, or left-hand side, rather, near the bottom, where it says "Configure cameras and tape" and goes down through "Replace dark slide." Just make the comment there, "Solar corona is optional." Over.
CC: Okay, next page, 16. This is a continuation of the same solar-corona thing. On the right-hand side of the page, starting Just above 107:40 with "VERB 49, maneuver to solar-corona attitude," from there on down to 107:55 Just beneath "Replace dark slide," all of this is in an optional cate- gory. So you Just might line off - -
CMP: All right. Got it.
CC: - - that and put "Optional, solar corona." Okay, next, page 17 - -
CC: - - starting at 108:00 on the left-hand side, line out "Stop ORB rate at ORB science attitude." At - Line out in the left-hand collumn the DAP load of "10101" and "lllll." Going down to 108:lO, add in the following: "Stop ORB rate at track attitude," and, in parentheses, "0, 353, 0." In the left-hand - -
CC: Okay, in the left-hand column under 108:10, put in a DAP load in parentheses of "10101" and, under that, "11111."
CC: Beneath that, scratch out "Spacecraft control dash CMC AUTO verify." Scratch out the "VERB 79" and all in parentheses after that, like the "Minus 00507," et cetera. And beneath that, scratch out "PRO to start pitch rate." In paren- theses, "0, 230 slash 018, 0."
CC: Okay. Looking to the right, the LM attitude or rather the CSM attitude will be incorrect, so you can cross that off. And beneath the picture of the moon, cross out the - in parentheses, "108.19" and the "0 230/018, 0"
CC: On the right-hand half of the page, cross out the "Orbital science block," and under that "Visual target i south of track TR." And under that, the penned-in "D2/3/4."
CC: And beneath that, cross out "VERB 49, maneuver to track attitude" by the "'C' 0, 353, 0" and the "HU ,SCF."
CC: Okay. The information beneath that starting with "Configure camera earthshine photos" down through "Replace dark slides" is optional. So Just put in "Earthshine optional" as a comment there, and in the camera settings, in the block that has "f:2.8 125, infinity," cross out the "125" and put in "one-eighth," i slash 8, in other words.
CMP: Okay, that last part was, cross out the "125" "1/8." and put in Is that right?
CC: That's affirm. Okay. Next page. No change. Go to page 19. '['ape22/4
CC: Okay. On the right-hand side, from the "VERB 49, maneuver to earthshine attitude," down through everything up to "MSFN uplink," this is optional. This is "Earthshine optional."
CC: And once again, a camera-setting correction up near the top of that section that we called optional, where you have "bracket MIR f:0.9, 125 ," cross out the "125" and put in "l slash 60." In other words, one-sixtieth. Over.
CMP: Okay. Cross out the "125" and put in "1 slash 60."
CC: That's correct. And further down at 109:50, where you have "Visual target 17," et cetera, cross out that line and cross out the penned-in "D17."
CC: Now, move to page 25.
CC: Okay. At about ll4:10, everything under "Altitude set equals 60 miles" should have the comment "Solar corona, optional," and on that first line of that optional where it says "VERB 49, maneuver to solar corona and limb brightening attitude," cross out "And limb brightening attitude."
CC: Going further down to 114:16, cross out the "14 DAC 18 VHBW limb brightening" line and the line under that which is "BRKT, MIR," et cetera.
CC: In the block where it says "Solar corona and limb brightening photos," cross out "And limb brighten- ing photos" and just put "Solar corona, optional."
CMP: Okay. Got it. 22/5 Tape
CC: Going a few lines below that where you see "DAC ON for 4 seconds at about 50 frame rate cover lens," cross that out.
CMP: Hey, Vance, we lost you there, or did you ...?
CC: Yes, I think we lost lock. We'11 stand by a minute.
CMP: Okay, I got you back.
CC: Okay. Going on down, cross out "114:29:16, DAC ON, SR dash 40 seconds."
CC: And at the very bottom line on that half of the page should be crossed out which is "114:29:56, DAC OFF, SR."
CC: On the right-hand side of page 25, where you have the title "Solar corona and limb brighten- ing photography," cross out "limb brightening photography."
CC: And in the figure, where you have the "DAC LOS" line, which is parallel to the X-axis on the horizon, cross out "DAC LOS" parallel to X-axis on horizon.
CC: And cross out the bottom block on that half of the page which is "DAC magazine percent required 12 magazines, g," et cetera.
CC: Next page, 26.
CC: Okay. Cross out the top line on the right-hand side of that page, which is "DAC on for 4 seconds, 50 frame rate cover lens." And cross out the block to the right of that and down, which has "Magazine percent." Page [06
UNKNOWN: page 28.
CC: Ready to go?
CC: Okay. On the left-hand side of page 28, at the very bottom, cross out "Photo target 5 north, frame f:5.6, 215, infinity," et cetera. All of that line over to the vertical strip. And cross out the penned-in "E4" below that.
CC: Okay, and the next page, 29, right-hand side near the top, cross out "Photo target 13, north at 5.6, 250," et cetera, all of that line. And cross out beneath that the penned-in "E5 slash 6."
CC: Going to page 30, next, left-hand side.
CC: At the top at 127:01, cross out "Visual target 9 on track, 180 degrees, plus 0.47," and cross out the penned-in "Ell" beneath that.
CC: Going down to 127:11, cross out "Verify DSE ON." Beneath that a ways, cross out "127:14:20, start visual observations of Fra Mauro."
CC: Beneath that, cross out "Continue visual observa- tions,'' and cross out "Stop observations." And beneath that, cross out "Photo target 56 on track f:8, 250, infinity, 5," et cetera, to the end of that line. Cross out the "5.6" beneath that and the penned-in "El5."
CC: Over in the margin, to the left of all that, make a comment: "Delete visual only." 22/7 Tape
CMP: Where was that, Vance? I didn't get that last one.
CC: Okay. That's still on page 30, on the left-hand side. In the time - in the margin at the left where you have times, Just pen in beneath the "127:10" the following: "Delete visual only." That 's only a comment.
CMP: Okay. All right.
CC: Okay. Going to page 34.
CC: About - on the left-hand side about almost half- way down beneath the "VERB 49, maneuver to TOPO target 54A," make the comment "Target 54A is optional."
CC: And, next, page 35, on the right-hand side. Everything from "Spacecraft control, CMC, AUTO, verify" on down should be given the comment "Zodiacal light photos optional."
CC: And, well, where you have the block in the middle of the page that says - the small block that says "Zodiacal light photos," Just put "Optional" in that title, too.
CC: And, next, page 36, on the left-hand side.
CC: Okay. First a comment. In the middle of the page is where the zodiacal light stuff ends, Just under VERB 48. And then, if you'11 go down to the bottom of the page, cross out the line "Photo target 12 on track," et cetera, and cross out the "E5" that is below that line.
CDR: Okay, Vance, can I break in a minute?
CDR: We have the CRYO PRESSURE light on now. _le It2 has hit its lower bound, so do you want us to go back to AUTO on the H2 HEATER 17
CDR: All right, go ahead.
CC: They request that you leave that switch in the AUTO position until you go to bed tonight. Stand by. I mean in the ON position. I'11 repeat that again. In the OFF position until you go to bed tonight for reasons that you have a 3-percent imbalance, and they'd like to get that more even. So, Just before turning in, we'11 change the switch to AUTO.
CMP: Okay, Vance, continue.
CMP: Before we get away, would you ask FAO - something didn't I get briefed on - what tee penned-in E5 and those letters and numbers mean?
CC: Okay. Just 1 minute.
CC: Okay, we'11 have comments on that for you in just a second.
