Otrobonita/noicy-space-talks huggingface dataset:
CC: That is, we want you to open it up. Looks like a very interesting book you're reading.
CMP: I have two of them.
CC: Hey, that's pretty, Fred.
LMP: Okay. I hope you got more detail than I have on the monitor here.
CC: No. We probably don't, but it's kind of a neat picture anyway.
CMP: Houston, we are now going to finish repressurizing the tunnel.
LMP: ... probably hear, Joe, we're just finishing pumping up Aquarius here.
CC: Okay. About all we see on this picture, Fred, are the bright spots with the lights around the tunnel area. The hatch itself is pretty dark.
CC: 13, Houston. By the way, we'd like to know how the high gain antenna lockup worked. Our signal strength is a little bit lower than we thought it would be.
CMP: It looked Just the way I expected it to, Joe. I had her sitting there in REACQ with the numbers cranked in and soon as we got pretty much through the rotation, I Just threw it down to HIGH GAIN and it appeared to lock right up. Page 22'
CC: Okay. Good deal. See that flashlight beam wandering around in there.
CC: 13, Houston. Go ahead.
LMP: We'd kind of lik_ to hold off on th_ - st_rL th_ venting again until we get the things - pumped back up inside here. Wonder if you might give us a call to remind us when to initiate that.
CC: Okay, 13; will do.
LMP: And we'11 try to shift her up to look up into the tunnel here.
CC: Okay, 13; Houston. I think we could use an f-stop lower. What f-stop are you in now?
LMP: I'm about as iow as you can go, Joe. I'm sitting on 4.4.
LMP: What you're looking at, Joe, is the commander has removed the hatch and is proceeding to stow it.
CC: Okay, 13. That's a pretty good picture there.
LMP: The CDR is verifying the docking latches now.
CMP: Hey, Joe. Jim reports that there's a slight, you know, burn smell up in the tunnel area, as been reported on previous flights.
CMP: Okay. The commander reports all docking latches latched.
CC: 13, Houston. For your information, the S-IVB vent is proceeding on schedule. 'Pape t'a[V_ ;.'_ (;MI' Okay, Joe.
UNKNOWN: Yes, Joe. That':; - ?hat':: coneurrin6f wit_ all the thousands of particles that I see going by outside here.
CC: Yes. I guess I didn't need to tell you.
CC: 13, it looks like Jim is connecting the _mnbilical at this time. Is that right?
LMP: Yes, that's affirm - affirm, Joe. Do you have any detail up in there at all? On tile monitor it looks like I can - I can make out tile drogue - the drogue a little bit, but not much else.
CC: We can see the probe pretty well, and we carl see his hands quite well there.
CMP: Okay. We're powering the LM now, Joe.
CC: Okay, Roger that.
CC: And the voltage looks good there, 13.
LMP: Okay. We're going to take an outside view now, out the left side, Joe.
CC: Okay, Fred. Real good.
LMP: Okay. You making out the picture there, Joe?
CC: Yes. Is that the world?
CC: Okay, Fred. That's pretty nice looking picture. We'd like to know what settings you used to get that.
LMP: Okay. I think Jim is holding it now and - it - Okay, it should be in about f:22, infinity, and I think the 50-millimeter. And Jim says he thinks he hit Baja in the picture now.
CC: Okay. I think we can stand to go to f:44 on that. The clouds are pretty bright.
LMP: Okay. We are going to have to press on here, Joe, so we are back inside.
CC: Okay. Thanks a lot.
LMP: Okay. IIow's that picture looking back ouN:id_' now, Joe? Getting ready for LM extraction.
CC: Okay. That looks pretty good, Fred.
CDR: Houston, this is 13. Do we have a GO for' pyro arm?
CC: 13, Houston. Affirmative. You're GO for pyro arm.
CMP: Hey, Joe, when we went back up and rechecked the tunnel there, we found two latches that weren't cocked and we reset them.
CC: I'11 roger that, Jack.
CMP: Joe, I've got a beautiful view of the Earth out window 1.
LMP: By the way, the windows came through in real good shape. Window 5 looks real clean, so I am kind of hopeful that Hycon stuff will be pretty good.
LMP: I meant window 3, Joe.
CC: ()kay, 13; Houston. You're GO for LM SEP whenever you' re ready.
CC: Okay, 13; Houston. Correction on that. You're GO for LM SEP at the nominal time and - or later. We don't want it early.
CDR: Okay, Joe. We'11 do it at 04:01:00.
CMP: Okay. We're about ready to pull the LM out, Joe.
CC: Okay, 13.
CMP: Here she comes.
CMP: Okay. Looks like we're clear, Joe.
CC: Okay. Looks good. It's weird because we get the TV about 10 seconds after you call it.
CC: Okay. We'11 be waiting for you to tell us that you feel you're safely clear of the booster, and give us the GO to command the booster in its yaw maneuver.
CC: 13, Houston. Did you copy my last about giving us a GO for the yaw?
LMP: Yes, we're maneuvering, Joe, and we hadn't picked her back up again yet.
CC: Okay. Do you want to wait till you acquire it before we yaw it?
CDR: How much time do you have, Houston? Can you wait, or do you want to do it right now?
CC: Ne can wait if you want us to, Jim.
CDR: Why don't you wait Just a little bit.
CC: )kay.
CMP: Joe, did they ever get an idea of what that - the TD and E fuel was?
CC: Jack, they're not willing to pin it down to a specific number right now because they say the tanks will warm up later on and the apparent consumption will go down. But it was nominsl.
CMP: ,)kay.
CMP: Okay, Houston. We have the S-IVB in sight. You are GO to maneuver the S-IVB.
CC: _ouston, Roger that.
CMP: Try to give you a - Houston, we're going to try to give you a shot of the S-IVB with the TV out window number 3.
CC: Okay. Real good, Jack. Our S-band signal strength has been fluctuating. Does it seem to be going all right up there in the AUTO TRACK mode ?
LMP: Yes. Right now; yes, it's dropped off to about the 70-percent point, Joe, and it was before up about 85.
CDR: And, Houston, do you have a TV picture?
CC: Not at the moment, Jim. We had a garbled one there for a few seconds, and we don't have one at this moment.
CDR: Okay. I can see the S-IVB now out the hatch window and it's - -
CC: Okay, Jim. Suddenly we have a very good picture.
CDR: And, Houston, I can see the gold shroud around the IU, and it looks that it's all intact.
CC: Roger, Jim. We copy that. Incidentally, the APS evasive maneuver will be about 4 minutes late. It'11 be at about 04 plus 18.
CC: 13, Houston. Wonder if you could zoom in on that's-IVB for us a little bit?
CC: Yes, yes. More like that. That's nice. It's off our screen to the right, now.
CC: Oh, that's very nice, very nice.
CMP: Okay, Joe. Is EECOMM monitoring the 02 FLOW HIGH light again? We haven't yet started the venting yet.
CC: Okay. Stand by. I'11 check.
CC: Jack, your cabin REGs are still making up, but you're GO to open the waste management vent again at this time, and we'11 delta the time to close it by the appropriate amount for you.
CMP: Okay. Real fine. Well, we'11 wait till the S-IVB does its maneuver here.
LMP: Okay, Joe. We just had a momentary dropoff in signal strength again there.
CC: Roger, Fred. We had an LOS for a minute and we lost our TV picture. It looks like - yes, we Just got it back. It looks great again.
CC: 13, Houston. You might stop the f-stop down one more notch, if you got any left.
CC: And, 13, Houston. We'11 be commanding the evasive maneuver in about 17 seconds.
CMP: Dkay, Joe. We aan see it start to move. However, it doesn't seem to be a lot of debris or vapor coming out of it.
CC: Roger that, Jack. Booster says that's great. He says the booster's doing its thing normally. Con- cur. We don't see much on the television at all.
CC: _nd, Apollo 13, Houston. We'd like to change the S-band and antenna configuration. Like you to go OMNI Delta. Like you to go MANUAL mode on the high gain with pitch of minus 60 and yaw of 90. Over.
LMP: Okay. You want us to OMNI Delta and MANUAL on the high gain to minus 60 and plus 90. Is that correct?
CMP: Okay, Houston. How much longer would you like the television?
CC: Stand by on that. We'11 get a word.
CC: Okay, lB; this is Houston. You can turn the TV off anytime you're ready. We've enjoyed the show.
CC: 13, Houston. Before you secure the TV, we'd like to know whether that was in maximum zoom, Just for information.
LMP: That's affirm. Jim had it in MAX zoom.
CC: Okay. Good deal. That was a real good picture.
CC: And, 13, Houston. The APS evasive maneuver ap- 4 plus 39 plus 20, about 3 minutes late.
CMP: Okay, Joe. We are right now opening the WASTE STOWAGE VENT.
CC: Okay, Jack. We copy.
CMP: Okay, Houston. We are charging battery B.
CC: Roger, 13. We see it. Looks good.
CC: Apollo lB, Houston. Request OMNI Alfa now. Over.
CC: Roger. They are having trouble verifying that the high gain is doing its thing. Like to verify 350, that the pitch is minus 10, the Y is plus you're in WIDE BEAM WIDTH and AUTO. 350
LMP: Okay. Minus 10 pitch, plus yaw, and WIDE BEAM WIDTH and going into AUTO. You want HIGH GAIN, John?
LMP: Okay. Here, it's coming at you. 4/1 Tape
LMP: Ail right, Houston; 13.
LMP: Is the S-IVB doing something different now?
CC: Well, I don't know. It should be - let's see, it should have started the LOX dump at least quite a while ago. I guess that's complete. Why do you ask, Fred?
LMP: I'm looking out window 5 at what I think is the S-IVB, and I'm seeing what looks to be double plumes, going in two very narrow bands maybe about 3 degrees that are streaming out from it. And then there is a less dense band that covers maybe a 40-degree swath through the sky that continues out, also, in two directions.
CMP: Hey, Joe, what it looks like, kind of, is if you pull up behind a guy that's pulling a con, rail, and you get in his contrail, like he's going away from you - there's a long contrail -
CC: Okay; stand by. Let me see what Frank's got to say about that.
LMP: Except we're between - Looks like we're between two contrails, one guy above and one below.
LMP: It's a very pretty sight.
CC: Okay, 13; Houston. The booster says that the propulsive dump is concluded; he now has the nonpropulsive vents open and what you see is a normal phenomenon and it should go on for another 5 minutes or so.
CC: And, while I've got you, 13, at your convenience, we'd like to have the results of the EMS bias tests that you did pre-TLI and pre-SEP.
CMP: Okay, Joe. The TLI - the DELTA-V no bias test prior to TLI, we had a 0.8, and post-TLI, it was 1.0.
CC: Okay, Jack. Copy that. Thank you very much. Incidentally, as your tracking gets better and better, the size of MCC-2 is getting lower and lower and figures to be somewhere between 20 and 30 feet per second now.
CC: Yes, sure does.
CC: Okay. We have a PTC REFSMMAT ready, if you're ready to go POO and ACCEPT, we'11 stick it in there.
CMP: Okay. I'm POO and ACCEPT, Joe.
CC: Okay. Roger that.
CC: Apollo 13, Houston. We'11 have a handover in half a minute or so. You may get a momentary loss of strength.
CC: Apollo 13, Houston. The computer is yours. Over.
CMP: Okay. Going to BLOCK.
LMP: Okay, Houston. Do you copy 13's torquing angles on the P527
CC: 13, Houston. Leave them up Just a second, and we'11 get them down.
CC: 13, Houston. Okay. We got them. 4/3 Tape
CDR: Okay. The time of torquing was 5 hours BO minutes and 40 seconds.
CDR: Hello, Houston; Apollo lB.
CDR: Okay. I Just got all hooked up to get in my COMM system here, and I Just wanted to check out. I've got my suit stowed, a few other odds and ends done, and I'm back in business again.
CC: Okay. Good deal. We're kind of hanging loose down here. I've got a lift-off plus 15 pad. There's no hurry to read it up, so let us know when you're ready.
CDR: Okay, Houston. Go ahead with the pad.
CC: Okay, Jim. Lift-off plus 15 pad: GETI 015:00, DELTA-VT 5622, longitude minus 165, and GET 400K 047:04. Over.
CDR: Okay, Houston. Lift-off plus 15: GETI 015:00, 5622, minus 165, 045:04. Is that correct?
CC: That's right, Jim.
CMP: Go ahead, Jim.
CC: Roger. We'd like to have the ATTITUDE SET switch back to GDC, if you're finished with your aline. It gives G&C down here a telemetry problem.
CMP: Yes; okay.
CMP: I'm Just going to give them one more aline here.
CC: Okay. No rush.
CC: Roger. Would you please verify or tell us what S-band antenna configuration you're in, please?
CDR: We're in HIGH GAIN.
CC: Roger. Stand by a minute, Jim. Our signal strength is getting a little iow. We may have a recommendation.
CC: 13, Houston. Are you in MANUAL or AUTO in HIGH GAIN?
CDR: Stand by. We're in AUTO TRACK, Joe, and HIGH GAIN.
CMP: Houston, you copy 137
CMP: Hello, Houston; Apollo 13. Over.
CMP: Hey, were you copying my P23 results?
CC: That's affirmative, Jack. We followed you through the whole thing. You're ahead of schedule.
CDR: And, Joe, we confirmed there is no midcourse-1. Over.
CC: That is affirmative as far as I know. Let's get a final check on it, Jim.
CDR: Okay. Because we're standing by. We want to do a fuel cell purge and a waste water dump. midcourse-1.
CC: Okay, Jim. We confirm there will be no
CDR: Okay. It sounds good.
CC: And, 13, Houston. You can go ahead with the purge and dump at your discretion.
CDR: Roger, Houston. What we're going to do is, we're going to get rid of Fred's suit here. Fred's suit has been right in the commander's slot here for the last half hour. So we're going to try and get it stowed.
CDR: You did a pretty good Job.
CC: Apollo 13, Houston. We'11 have a handover in about 1 minute.
CDR: Hello, Houston. Apollo 13.
CC: Roger, Jim. We'11 have a handover from Hawaii to Goldstone in about 30 seconds.
CC: We'11 be handing over from Hawaii to Goldstone in a few seconds. You may get a temporary loss of COMM.
CDR: Okay, Houston. We've got a whole bunch of noise, too.
CMP: Okay. Houston, 13.
CMP: Hey, Joe. Do you want to dump waste water down to 25 percent. Is that right?
CMP: Okay, in work.
CMP: Do you know we're also purging fuel cells 02 now.
CMP: Okay, Houston. The fuel cell purge and waste water dump are complete.
CC: Roger, Apollo 13. And this is your relief CAP COMM shift on now.
CDR: Well, good evening, Vance.
CMP: Boy, you sure made it back fast.
CC: Yes. You guys had a beautiful launch, there. Really nice.
CMP: Could you follow it all the way up, Vance?
CC: No, I didn't see staging. It was too hazy for that, but we could see it for a few miles anyway.
CMP: I'11 tell you, it's sure an interesting ride.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 13.
CC: Roger. Go ahead, Jim.
CDR: Roger. We're at that stage now where we're going to take some Earth weather photography. If you're standing by, I have the camera aimed at the Earth right now, and I'11 give you a mark when I take this first picture.
CC: Roger. We copy, Jim. We'11 be standing by for the mark.
CDR: Okay, Houston. 3, 2, 1 -
CC: And Apollo 13, Houston. Over.
CC: For the PTC, recommend that you disable quads A and B. Over.
CDR: Okay. Disable quads A and B, will do; and soon as Jack gets finished thrashing around, we'11 be going to that PTC mode.
CDR: Okay, Houston. We're starting PTC. We're disabling quads A and B now.
CC: Roger, Apollo 13. Houston copies. 1Jage 35
CC: Jim, we'd like to verify that the high gain is secured, that the S-BAND antenna is on OMni, and OMNI B should be the right antenna. Over.
CDR: Okay. You want the high gain secured and you want the OMNI on OMNI Charlie, huh? Or Baker?
CC: That's affirm. And this'11 be maintained in the PTC.
CC: And the high gain angles for stowage - or for stowing - are pitch minus 52, yaw 270.
CDR: Stand by for another Earth weather picture. I'11 give you a mark.
CC: Okay. Standing by, Jim.
CC: Houston copies.
CC: Houston here. Your rates look very stable. It looks like your rates are damped out completely here. As far as we can see, it would be alright to start the PTC.
CDR: Okay. We'11 give it a try.
LMP: Hello, Houston. This is 13. How do you read?
CC: Hello, 13; Houston. Loud and clear. 13, Houston is reading loud and clear. How do you read?
LMP: Okay. And do you have any estimate, Vance, on how long we'11 be charging battery B?
CC: Stand by 1, Fred.
CC: We'11 be charging for 4-1/2 to 5 hours yet, Jim.
CC: Fred, recommend that, when your window comes around facing the Earth again, that you catch another one of those pictures, and at the same time, you should probably start PTC again. We might have sent a confusing bit of info up to you. The "disable two quads" only applies to an early step in the procedure. We didn't mean that for the latter part of the procedure where we have the statement "enable all jets." Over.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 13.
CC: Apollo 13, Houston. Go ahead.
CMP: Vance, Fred said that you had some more informa- tion about PTC and a different way of establishing it or something, huh?
CC: Roger. Referring to the procedure on G/8-2, if you have that open, I'11 tell you what we had to give you.
CMP: Okay. Stand by and I'11 get it out.
CC: Okay. / Pa_.c 37
CMP: Okay. (;o _lc.ad, Van.
CC: Okay. On checklist G/8-2 under step 5, tbert_'s a statement, "disable all Jets on two adjacent quads," and that's what we were referring to when we called up saying "disable quads A and B." So that's all fine; however, going down now to step 7 where it says "enable all Jets," we hoped that you didn't think we meant leave A and B disabled there. In that case, it's as written. Ail jets should be enabled. Over.
CMP: Okay. Our checklist has "all jets" scratched out, and it says "enable couples on all axes." So what we'11 do is - we'11 reestablish this thing and come down to that step 7, and we'11 enable all jets. That means enable quads A and B. Is that right ?
CC: That's affirm. You'11 have A, B, C, and D en- abled for step 7.
CMP: Okay, real fine. I'11 start on it now.
CC: Okay. Understand you're going to reestablish it.
CC: And Vance, on that picture, I was all set to shoot it Just a little before you called, and the Earth hasn't showed up in the window yet. I don't know if we got too far off the bellyband or what.
CC: Roger. Copy, Fred.
LMP: Go ahead, Vance.
CC: Roger. On the photo, you'11 probably have to reestablish the attitude for PTC and then when- ever it comes into the window again, why we'11 just be standing by for the photo.
CMP: Go ahead, ...
CC: Roger, You're coming in a little weak. Have a recommended roll rate for this PTC, if you could copy. Pa_e 38
CMP: Alright. Go _uhead.
CC: Okay. Recommend that you put in RI the following: 03750, and that should give you exactly a rate of 0.3 degrees per second. Over.
CMP: Okay. Enter 03750. Is plus or minus our choice?
CC: Roger. The same direction you rolled the last time, which I believe is plus.
CMP: Hey, Vance, would you monitor our rates and kind of give an idea of when you think they're stable enough to start PTC.
CC: Roger, Jack. We'11 take a look and let you know as soon as they look stable enough.
CMP: Okay. I've got quads A and B disabled here.
CMP: Have they come up with an idea of how much fuel I used on the docking and also the P23 session at 5 hours or 6 hours.
CC: I think we can give you something. Stand by a minute.
CC: Okay. It's looking good so far as RCS consum- ables are concerned, Jack. You're standing about 20 pounds above the curve right now. Looking at the TD&E, you expended 65 pounds or - Stand by - 55 pounds, correction on that.
CMP: How much?
CC: And 14 pounds on P23s. You used a little more out of quad A than out of the others.
CMP: Okay. Thanks, Vance.
CMP: lley, could you say again the TD&E i'uel? We've got a different - we ali heard different things. and
CC: I said 65 then corrected that to 55 pounds.
CC: Okay, Jim. Your rates look good. It's okay to start the roll again, if you'd like.
LMP: Hello, Houston; Apollo 13.
CC: Apollo 13, go ahead.
LMP: Okay. Ready for a little count here, Vance, and I'11 shoot another picture. We found the Earth again.
CC: Okay. We'11 be standing by, Fred.
LMP: A 3, 2, 1 -
LMP: Hey, Houston, 13.
LMP: Okay. Stand by for a mark on another picture.
CC: Okay. Standing by, Fred.
CC: Okay, we got it. Page' 40
CC: Apollo 13, llouston.
CC: Jim, Houston here. Two items: first of all, your PTC is looking very good and it should carry you through the night; second point, have a procedure to give you, if you're ready to copy. We'd like to set three bits in the computer, and I'11 explain why.
CC: Go ahead, Vance, we're ready to copy.
CC: Okay. The procedure is as follows: VERB 25, NOUN 07, ENTER; 1331, ENTER; 7, ENTER; and ENTER. Explanation as follows. During the P23s, there was one time when VERB 37 was entered into the computer at about 16 seconds after the OPTICS ZERO switch was flicked to ZERO. This is a very uncommon anomaly in that, if you do this during - 0.4-second interval at around 16 seconds after you zero the optics, some OPT-mode bits are reset; and this would mean that, if you had a OCDU fail, it wouldn't be indicated; so all this procedure is doing is setting these three bits back again where they should be.
LMP: Okay, Vance, and I guess I'11 try to be slower on that VERB 37.
CC: Yes. Actually slower or faster, either one, I guess. Well s yes, slower. It's a very unusual thing to have that happen.
LMP: Okay. And s Houston, stand by for a mark on another picture.
UNKNOWN: 3, 2, 1-
CC: Roger. We copy, Fred.
LMP: Okay, Vance; we've completed that procedure, and let me know if everything was okay. 7/2 Tape
CC: Okay, thank you. We'11 let you know if anything isn't okay. I'm sure it's good now.
LMP: Tell G&C and GUIDO thanks a lot for keeping good track of me, there.
CC: Roger. They're right on the ball.
CC: And, 13, Houston. If you would like, we can let you know about every 2 minutes before the Earth should be coming into your window. We think we've got it pegged down pretty well now, and you won't have to look for it so much. You want that?
LMP: Yes. That would be fine, Vance.
CC: And, 13, Houston. GUIDO says the bits are reset - rather, are set.
LMP: Okay, thanks much.
CC: It's time for Fred to start looking for the Earth, should be coming by in about a couple of minutes.
CDR: Okay. He's got his head out there right now.
LMP: Yes. You've got that pretty well pegged, man. There it be.
CC: Doesn't that give you confidence?
LMP: Yes. I guess so. In a minute, you're going to hear my kitchen timer ding, and that also says the Earth is there.
LMP: Okay. Stand ... countdown.
CC: Roger. We're enjoying Fredts music there.
CDR: Yes_ ... up here.
LMP: Yes, I kind of like it too, Vance.
CC: Yes, we didn't hear much of it, though.
CMP: Okay, Vance, we did another _4S null bias test and the - it went from 100.0 to 101.8 in 100 seconds.
CMP: Go ahead, Vance.
CC: Jack, like to verify, was that 100 to 100.8 or 101.8?
CMP: 101.8.
CMP: It was plus 100 to plus 101.8.
CC: The Earth's coming up in the window again in 1 to 2 minutes.
CMP: Hers got it. You're right again.
CMP: Okay, stand by for a mark here. I
CMP: Okay, ready? 3, 2, i -
CC: Roger, copy your mark.
CC: Apollo 13, Houston. We have a CSM state vector to send you. Request POO and ACCEPT at your convenience.
CMP: Okay, Vance. There's P00 and ACCEPT.
CC: Okay, it's coming up.
CC: 13, the computer is yours again.
CMP: Okay, going back to BLOCK.
LMP: Looks like picture-taking time again.
UNKNOWN: Go ahead, Van.
CC: Okay, Earth should be coming into view. Okay.
CMP: Okay. Stand by, Vance. 3, 2, i -
CC: Earth starting to look pretty small now?
CMP: Well, looking at here, Vance, it's hard to be convinced it's even the Earth. All we see is water and clouds.
CC: Well, I guess that's what we want. We want pictures of weather, right, clouds.
CMP: Yes, about half of itts covered with clouds.
CMP: Okay, Van. Ready to copy in the torquing angles of the P52 option 3?
CC: That's affirm - thatts affirm, but stand by.
CC: Okay. We've got them. Go ahead with the torquing, Jack.
CMP: Okay. That was stars 20 and 27 and star-angle difference is five balls, and the time at torquing would be 10 hours 40 minutes 15 seconds.
CC: 1 hour 40 minutes and 15 seconds; 20 and 27, stars; and five balls. Roger.
CC: Time to look out your window for us again.
CMP: Lo and behold.
CMP: Okay. It's 3, 2, 1-
CC: Jim, we're coming up on a handover between sites. You might lose COMM momentarily.
CDR: Okay. Understand handover, we might lose the COMM.
CC: You should have the Earth coming into view here shortly.
UNKNOWN: ° We got a new CAP COMM now.
CC: No, I changed my voice.
CDR: Negative, Houston. Say again.
CC: We got your mark, Jim.
LMP: Hey, you still there, Van?
LMP: I guess the world really does turn. I can see some of my landmasses now. It must be Australia down near the bottom and I guess we haven't really figured out what's over the - to the left. It must be some part of Asia. China, probably.
CC: Hey, maybe the fact that you verified that the Earth really turns, we can call this Haise'S theory, huh? 'l'ap c 8/:' Pag, e 4(,
LMP: Very good, Vance. Very good.
CC: No, seriously. Very interestingly, we can see on the map now that you're between Guam and Hawaii and a little bit north, and you're almost out 60 000 miles.
CMP: Yes. I just did a P21 and we had 55 900.
CC: Okay. That's pretty good.
CMP: I'11 let you look at it again here.
CC: Incidentally, we're looking at a replay of your TD&E stuff here and the TV looks pretty good. First chance some of us had had to see it.
CMP: Okay, Vance. In R1, there's our altitude in tens of miles, 55 290.
CC: Okay. Looking at our computations back here, we show you about 55 450 and going out rapidly now.
CDR: Well, Hal might be a little bit off.
CMP: We have a sign underneath our LEB DSKY that "my name is Hal."
CC: I can't imagine how that got there. Just remember, you have to be nice to Hal.
CMP: We will.
CMP: I think this PTC's going to work out good. I been watching it here for the last hour here.
CC: Good. It's looking good here.
UNKNOWN: - Aquarius)
CC: Good Lord!
CDR: Houston, 13.
CC: 13, Houston. You're very weak. Please repeat.
CDR: Vance, to my calculations, we have taken about 10 Earth window photography pictures. I see nothing coming up here except to elose the waste stowage vent here in a little while. I was thinking about getting squared away to bed down for the evening pretty soon.
CC: Okay. That sounds good, Jim. FAO here would like to request just one more picture before you bed down, if you don't mind.
CDR: Okay. We'11 come through with one more picture.
CC: A couple of items, Jim. The first is, the time for closing the waste stowage vent is 12:24. If you turn in before that time, why it's okay as far as we're concerned down here to close it before that time just before you go to bed. The second point, we have some results on the P23s, and, if Jack's interested, we could give him the corrected altitudes we're getting, and so forth.
CMP: Yes. I sure am, Vance.
CC: Okay. This is preliminary results, but it will give you some indication. Corrected altitude is turning out to be 17 plus or minus 4 kilometers, and the fact that it's plus or minus 4 kilometers indicates that you're being very consistent in judging the altitude. The effective altitude is turning out to be 10 plus or minus 12 kilometers. Comments are that, as I said before, you're being consistent on the horizon selection. The sub- stellar point error is averaging 15 arc-minutes and if you could hold the rates to a minimum, you might shoot for 5 arc-minutes. That's the only comment there. Over.
CMP: Okay. We'11 try doing it better next time.
CC: But, they're real satisfactory. r?:Lp_' _/11 f':u:'_,' )1__,
CMP: Okay. 'J'hank_;, Vance.
CC: Okay, Jack, this is the last time for the Earth coming into view in about 1 or 2 minutes.
CMP: Okay. I got my photographer looking out there.
CC: 13, Houston. I just corrected. Actually, the Earth will come into view more times. It's just that we're ... to the photography. Over.
LMP: 3, 2, 1 - MARK.
CC: Roger. We copy, and could you give us the frame number on that last picture, please?
LMP: Okay. We've been writing them all down, Vance, as we went, but that one turned out to be 29.
CC: Roger. Twenty-nine, Fred. It should be 28 based on our start frame.
CC: Correction to 28.
CC: 13, Houston. Understand, though, the number showing that you read on the camera was 28. Is that affirm?
LMP: Yes. The readability of that thing is like, you know, half a frame one way or the other; so, 28, I think, is a good number.
UNKNOWN: - Halls of Montezuma)
CC: Roger. Houston copies. ?age 49
LMP: I'11 have to not wear it out before Jack gets there.
CC: Sounds like that music's a pretty nice thing to have on a long voyage.
LMP: Yes, you're right.
CC: Fred, did you get any MASTER ALARMS up there about 5 or 10 minutes ago? Folks thought they saw some here and they were curious about it.
LMP: Yes. We got another 02 FLOW HIGH on - I guess it was about 5 minutes ago.
CMP: Vance, what the people down there might have been seeing is our testing.
CC: Roger. Testing the CAUTION and WARNING?
CMP: Yes. We were rigging the siren device over the MASTER ALARM, and we were running a test on it.
CC: Okay. Good enough. And anytime you're ready to copy, I've got a pad P37 block data.
CMP: Okay. Go ahead, Vance.
CC: Okay. P37 block data, starting with GETI. 025:00, 5119, minus 165, 071:08; 035:00, 7733, minus 165, 070:36; 045:00, 6208, minus 165, 094:52; 060:00, 5993, minus 165, 118:53. Over.
CMP: Okay. Stand by 1 minute. 7733, minus 165, 070:36; 045:00, 6208, minus 165, 094:52; 060:00, 5993, minus 165, 118:53.
CC: Roger. That's all correct.
CDR: We're starting our presleep checklist and no medication.
CC: Okay. The Doc says very good.
CDR: And, Houston, is there any onboard readouts that you don't have from us.
CC: Stand by 1. We need the LM/CM DELTA-P for one thing, and I'11 check back in a minute with the others.
CDR: Okay. And we still have the vent valve open. We'11 close it one of the last things and looking LM/CM at DELTA-P right now and I see 0.5 in psi indicated.
CC: Roger. Five-tenths.
CC: Only other readouts we need are those on page 3-13 of the flight plan. BAT C, pyro BAT A, pyro BAT B, RCS A, B, C, and D readings, and DC INDICATOR select main A or B.
LMP: And, Vance, we're still charging BAT B. Did you want to dispense with that in a few minutes?
CC: Stand by on that, Fred.
CMP: Okay, Vance, I've got your readouts on page 3-13 of the flight plan.
CC: Okay. Ready to copy.
CMP: Okay, BAT C is 37, pyro BAT A is 37, pyro BAT B is 37, RCS A 94 percent, B 95 percent, C 93 per- cent, D 96 percent.
CC: Okay. In answer to the battery-charging questions, I calculate it should be fully charged at 12:35. Play that one, though, the same as the waste vent. If you want to do it earlier because you're turning in, why that's fine with us.
LMP: Okay, we'11 continue on with a few other things we got to get done, and just before turning in, we'11 check with you, and you can remind us then.
CMP: Houston, Apollo 13. Give me a call when you're ready for E-memory dump.
CC: This is Houston, 13. You are weak. Please repeat.
CMP: Okay, Vance, give me a call when you're ready for our E-memory dump.
CC: Okay, 13. We're not quite ready yet. We'11 give you a call when we're ready.
CMP: Okay, Vance. I understand you're ready.
CC: Negative, GUIDO isn't quite ready yet.
CMP: Okay. I thought I heard you call us.
CC: But we're ready now, Jack, so GUIDO says he's ready to take it.
CMP: On the way down.
CC: 13, Houston. Go.
CDR: Okay, Vance. Requesting clearance now to turn the vent valve back to CLOSE again, and also the battery charge off.
CC: Roger. That's fine with us, Jim. Proceed.
CDR: Okay, we'11 do that.
CDR: Go ahead, Vance.
CC: We think the spacecraft's looking in good shape. Nobody has any comment down here before you hit the hay.
CDR: Okay. Row do they think we stand on the way of consumables so far?
CC: You're looking in good shape in all respects - consumables-wise.
CDR: Okay. Real fine.
CMP: Okay, go ahead, Vance.
CC: Just the last comment, Jack. Would you clear Hal, please, so he doesn't burn his lights out there tonight?
CMP: No, I - I was just - I'11 do that for you.
CC: 0keydoke.
CC: And we'11 see you in the morning, huh?
CMP: Okay. It'11 be just a minute or 2 yet. We have to finish up a couple more chores.
CDR: What do you mean? It is morning.
CC: Hey, that's right.
CC: It's been a long day, huh?
CDR: Yes, it sure was. 10-14/1 Tapes REST PERIOD - NO COMMUNICATIONS
CDR: Hello, Houston. Houston, Apollo 13. Over.
CC: Good morning, 13. This is Houston. How are you?
CDR: Read you loud and clear. We had a fairly good night's sleep.
CC: Okay. Real fine. At your leisure, you can give us radiation reports, I guess. We are getting a consumables update together for you, and a few other little details whenever you are ready to talk. About the only major thing on tile spacecraft is that it's been getting farther away.
CDR: Okay. Well, that's to be expected, I guess.
LMP: And we're starting to charge battery A, Houston.
CC: Roger on battery A, Fred. EECOMM says battery B looks real good.
CDR: Okay. For information, Fred was on COMM last night; and he was over in the left-hand seat, and if you want our radiation readings, we just goofed. We left them all in the suits which are now nicely tucked away. We are going to get out Jack's suit in an hour or so anyway, and we'11 get ais dosimeter out if you wanted to get the reading on that one.
CC: Okay. That will be satisfactory.
CC: And in exchange for that, the surgeon would like to have a rough number of hours each of you slept and a qualitative verb to describe whether it was good, fair, or poor.
CDR: Okay, Houston. We had an average of around 5 or ...
CC: Jim, Houston. Your COMM got pretty garbled there just as you started to talk.
CDR: Okay. Houston, Apollo 13.
CC: Okay, 13. You're loud and clear again.
CDR: We averaged about 5-1/2 hours' sleep apiece, and we are estimating that the sleep was good.
CC: Okay. Copy that. Let's see what else we have for you, Jim. Mideourse-2 looks like about 23 feet per second, approximately retrograde and on time. And it's holding real firm now. For your information, and you don't need to copy this down, because it's still pretty soft, but we have an S-IVB impact of about 8.57 south and about 33_9 west, which is a little west and a little south of the flight plan value. We have it at a GET of about 77 plus 51 which is Just before AOS, and the LOI pads are a little bit late, and as I say, it's still pretty soft, and we'11 be updating you with firm numbers.
CDR: That's fine, Joe. Just as long as it doesn't hit Cone Crater.
CC: Okay. And I'11 have a consumables update for you in a little while, and I have a small flight plan update for you sometime a little later on when you're ready to copy. There's no big deals in it.
CC: And, 13, Houston. Wetd like to verify that you cycled the 02 cryo fans. We saw the H2, but we didn't see the 02 get stirred up.
CMP: Yes, Joe. We did, and it kind of looked like we might have had a little stratification because right after we put them on, we had a CRYO PRESS light. and
CC: Okay. EECOMM told me that might happen, he was right.
CDR: j Okay, Joe. We're ready t.o copy a F]iKht p]an update and your consumables.
CC: Okay_ Jack. The flight plan update has a couple of items in it_ and the first one we'd like to do is to update the Tephe m values in the G&C check- list on page G/9-2. These are fairly small changes, but in case you need them, we'd like you to have the exact numbers. Over.
CMP: Okay. Just a minute. I'11 get it out.
CMP: Joe, was that the G&C checklist, page 9-2?
CC: That's affirmative. G&C, page G/9-2.
CC: ()kay. On that page in line 04, column B, change the number from 03366 to 05253. Over.
CMP: _.- 53.
CC: Okay. And in line 05, column B, change from 11000 to 33661. Over.
CMP: 33661.
CC: Okay. That's right. The only other thing I've got for you, Jack, is three additional questions for the booster systems debriefing, which is to hours, take place at about 25 and we thought we'd pass these questions up to you early so you can consider them. Over.
CC: Okay. The first extra is, and let me get the original question because this question says, qMore specifically on item 2," and item 2 says, 'fWere there any significant changes in the noise ¥ihration level during the single stage of powered flight?" Specifically, describe your observations during the early S-II center engine out-off, and approximately 90 seconds prior to TLI cut-off_ you reported a high vibration in the S-IVB. We'd like you to describe the buildup of this vibration and its behavior through cut- off. Over.
CDR: Okay. Essentially, what you'd like us to talk about is vibration sequence during the early S-II cut-off of the center engine and also describe the vibrations that we encountered during the S-IVB TLI burn. Is that correct?
CC: _ That's it. Okay. The second extra question is for you, Jim, and it says, "Comparing this flight with your ride on Apollo 8, were there any sig- nificant differences in the powered flight environment?"
CDR: Okay. We'11 describe a comparison with 8 and 13 as far as powered flight goes.
CC: Roger. And the last additional question is what did the ORDEAL ball look like during TLI? As you know, we passed you an update to that setting, and we'd like to know whether it was riding right on zero or what during the burn. Over. ORDEAL
CDR: Okay. Will do. We'11 describe the ball.
CC: ()kay. That's it, and that's the whole flight plan update. I have a consumables update now if you want to listen to that.
CMP: ()kay, Joe. We're ready to copy.
CC: ()kay. At 23 hours the total RCS is 1121, quad A _s 274, quad Bravo is 286, quad Charlie is 274, quad Delta is 287, and the cryos are as follows: H 2 tank 1, 83 percent; H 2 tank 2, 86 percent; 02 tank 1, 87 percent; 02 tank 2, 87 percent. Over.
CMP: Okay, Joe. We got all those, and how do we com- pare them with where we should be in the time Sine?
CC: As I understand it, Jack, you're running slightly ahead of nominal in both those areas.
CMP: Okay; real fine.
CC: And, 13, Houston. That's all the business I got right now. I have a little news and plan of the day for you, if you feel like listening to that a little later on. don't mind ....
CC: Stand by one, Jim. You're coming in _arl)lcd :q.':ait_.
CMP: Houston, 13.
CC: Okay, 13; Houston. Loud and clear again. Go ahead.
CMP: Okay. Joe. On the news, Jim would like to hold off a little bit on that, and I want to make a request to FAO, if he will at sometime during the day, when we get a flight plan update with those activities we agreed to make optional during lunar orbit and the few activities we were going to delete, I think that I forgot and left that card back during the press of suiting, I left it in the suit room.
CC: Okay. Wilco.
CC: Okay, Jack. I understand FAO's working on that and we'11 have something for you later on.
CMP: Okay. We're not in any hurry.
CMP: Okay, Houston; 13.
CC: Okay. Jack. We copy the angles. You can go ahead and torque them.
CMP: Okay. Joe. The time of torquing will be 23 hours 47 minutes 30 seconds.
CC: _3, Houston. Go ahead.
CDR: For information, Joe, we're all configured back again now to our regular seating positions, if you're monitoring us.
CC: Okay. Thank you, Jim.
CDR: Hello there, Houston; 13.
CC: 13, Houston. (_n _O_ead.
CDR: Gosh, we had forgotten, but we'd like to hear what the news is.
CC: Okay. There's not a whole lot to it. Well, let's see, we'11 start with the - Let's start with sports, what the heck. The Astros survived 8 to 7, the Braves got five or six runs in the - five runs in the ninth inning, but they just made it; and in the other important game of the day, the Cubs were rained out. I have all the rest of the scores, you can tell me if you want any of them. They had earthquakes in Manila and other areas of the island of Luzon. There were three tremors and they kept the buildings shaking for about a half an hour or so, and it was about a 5 on the Richter scale. Okay, let's see. The Beatles have an- nouneed they will no longer perform as a group. The quartet is reported to have made in excess of a half billion dollars during their short musical career. However, rumors that they will use this money to start their own space program are false.
CDR: Maybe we could borrow some.
CC: (Laughter) Okay. Okay; West German Chancellor Willy Brandt, who witnessed your launch from the Cape yesterday, and President Nixon will complete their round of talks today. Brandt reportedly came to the U.S. to seek assurance from the President to go ahead with talks with the eastern European nations, especially East Germany, Poland, and Russia. Many air traffic controllers are still out, but reports indicate that they are slowly returning to work, and you'11 be happy to know the controllers here in the MOCR are still on the job.
CDR: I said thank goodness for that.
CC: Okay. Some truck lines are being struck in the Midwest, and the school teachers have walked off the job in Minneapolis. Today's favorite pasttime across the - Uh oh; have you guys completed your income tax?
CDR: How do I apply for an extension?
CMP: Yes, Joe. I got to - hey, listen - It ain't too funny; things kind of happened real fast down there, and I do need an extension.
CMP: I didn't get mine filed. And this is serious; would you - -
CC: You're breaking up the room down here.
CMP: - - because I may be spending time in a - -
CC: We'11 see - -
UNKNOWN: I may be spending time in a - I may be spending time in another quarantine besides the one that they are planning for me.
CC: We'11 see what we can do, Jack. We'11 get with Recovery and see if we can get the agent out there $n the Pacific when you come back. By golly, let's see. In professional basketball, the Nicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 110 to 102, and Billy Casper :s leading the Masters after 54 holes with a 208, _nd spring football practice is in full swing. And that's about all the news we got; the updated plan of the day for you guys, tile uniform will be service dress inflight coverall garments with swords and medals, and tonight's movie shown in the lower equipment bay will be John Wayne, Lou Costello, and Shirley Temple in the "The Flight of Apollo 13." 0ver.
CDR: Outstanding.
CDR: Houston, this is 13. Is it true that Jack's in- come tax return was going to be used to buy the ascent fuel for the LM?
CC: Well, considering that he's a bachelor and hasn't got that deduction to take, yes.
CMP: Hey, Joe. I'm glad you brought that up, because I was really serious about that.
CC: Okay, Jack. We'11 - We'11 take care of it. Tom Stafford says he'11 get an extension for you.
CC: And Jim McDivitt says, "yes, now that you mention it, he forgot to fill the ascent stage."
CDR: (Laughter) Suspicions confirmed.
CC: Should give you very good performance on descent.
LMP: We should have a lot more hover time, huh?
CC: Okay, crew. About the only other thing I've got for you right now is an update to your P37 pad for lift-off plus 35. This is a change to the pad we gave you yesterday. The reason for the update is for weather avoidance in the mid-Pacific landing area at 70 hours, which is the return time for this pad, and in case the question arises in your mind, we don't expect any problem there for She end of the mission. The weather area is 20 degrees south of your end-of-mission landing point, and it appears to be moving to the south.
CDR: Okay, Joe. I'm ready to copy the pad.
CC: ()kay. GET of ignition is 035:00, DELTA-V T 7883, Longitude minus 155, and the GET 400K 069:54. Over.
CDR: GETI is 035:00, 7883, minus 155, 069:54.
CDR: And, Houston, Jack's going to try donning his suit now for practice, himself, and when he gets it out, we'11 give you a dosimeter reading.
CC: ()kay. Real good.
CC: %3, Houston. Go.
CDR: Okay. We've retrieved Jack's dosimeter, and it's reading 02022.
CC: Okay. We copy 02022 on the dosimeter, Jim.
CC: 13, Houston. At your convenience, we'd like the LM/CM DELTA-P reading.
CDR: That reading is 0.65 psi.
CC: Copy 0.65. Thank you. 17/1 Tape
CDR: Houston, Apol ... Roger. We're thinking together. And we're here waiting for your call.
CC: Okay, you were a little broken up there, Jim, but I think it's getting better. We are ready for the launch-vehicle-systems debriefing whenever you are.
CDR: Okay, Houston; Apollo 13. You were cut out again; say again, please.
CC: Roger, Jim. We are ready for the launch-vehicle- systems debriefing whenever you are. Over.
CDR: Okay. Stand by 1.
CDR: Okay, Houston; 13. In answer to Question l, the changes in noise level occurred mainly between the first stage and the other stages - the other stages were about the same in noise level, very quiet, with the first stage, of course, making quite a bit of noise in the beginning but - which built up during the high Q, and then ... went quiet Just after high Q.
CC: Okay, copy that, Jim.
CDR: I might mention that the noise level during the first stage was not sufficient to be uncomfortable at all.
CC: Roger. And I assume COMM was okay.
CDR: That's affirm. COMM was very good all during - throughout the entire flight. Much better than I expected.
CDR: Now, in answer to Question 2, there was, of course, a vibration transient in the second stage that - due to the number 5 engine going out - which occurred shortly before the engine went out, and slightly after that then the S-II stage was very smooth.
CC: Okay, Jim. I guess the significant point there is that you didn't notice the vibration before you saw the engine light.
CDR: That's right. We - we noticed the vibration but it wasn't such that we thought something cata- strophic was going to happen; it just started vibration and then the EN light came on, and then the vibration went away and the stage itself was smooth.
CMP: Yes, and that - it was all pretty - pretty short in span - Just a second or so before and like a second afterwards, Joe.
CC: Oh. Roger.
CDR: And on the S-IVB, the vibration of the vehicle it- self wasn't what ... second ... powered flight - a very-high-frequency vibration.
CC: That was - was that during - just during TLI, or did you notice that at insertion?
CDR: Well, it was a high-frequency viola - vibration but more noticeable during the TLI burn than it was during the ... flight.
CC: Okay, I - understand.
CMP: I guess the S-IVB vibration during TLI was there all the time although it seemed to - to grow to us as the burn progressed, although that may have been just due to the boost weight decrease. 3-1/2
CC: Okay, you called this about minutes, but I guess the thing was slowly building up throughout the whole burn. Right?
CC: Okay, was it uncomfortable or did it cause your vision to degrade or anything like that?
CDR: No, it - it was not uncomfortable at all but I was recalling the ride on 8, and the S-IVB was more - much more smooth than even it was on 13. / 17/3 Tape
CDR: Okay, now, in answer to number 3, we did not ex- perience any unexpected transients except that all of us noticed the PU shift. We thought it was more pronounced than we had expected it to be.
CMP: Joe, on that. I guess most of every time that PU shift occurred we all - almost all of us glanced at the engine light. We could feel definite acceleration change.
CC: Roger. Understand, Jack.
CDR: And, during the high-Q portion of the flight, the Alfa meter, to my knowledge, nearly went above 25 percent.
CDR: In answer to number 4, we got a pretty good look at the thermal shroud and the IU after taking the LM away, and from our viewpoint, the shroud was completely intact. I saw no loose particles or parts of it floating at all.
CC: Okay, Jim. Understand. And,
CDR: I guess we answered number 5. I don't think at any time did we have any communication problem during powered flight.
CDR: In answer to number 6, the answer is essentially no. We saw no venting or suspected leak on the LM or the CSM ...
CC: Okay, Jim. I guess you described to us the non- propulsive venting on the S-IVB after the APS maneuver and we copied that at the time.
CDR: Okay. Fred saw the S-IVB venting.
LMP: Yes, we had already talked about that, Joe. And that was also visible when it - of course, when it did its evasive maneuver when we were looking at it right close up.
CDR: Okay, Joe. The last time we saw the S-IVB posi- tively was when Fred saw it venting at about - at about 5 hours. We think we might have picked it up later on. We saw a particle or something out there that was tumbling which might have been the booster or one of the SLA panels.
CC: And when was that, Jim?
CDR: We're - we're debating. It was somewhere between - say 7:30 and 9 hours.
LMP: But, Joe, assuming the S-IVB is still stable. The object I was looking at was definitely tumbling.
CC: Okay, Fred. As I recall, it was stable then, although it's tumbling now.
LMP: Okay. It probably was the SLA panel I picked up.
CC: Right. Incidentally, I guess the guys in build- ing 6 - -
CDR: Oh and I think we -
