LMP: Okay. And the Earth LPD was 8 degrees.
CC: Did you - Did you say 8 degrees, Fred?
LMP: Well, I missed the Moon on that one, Jack. But I would guess - estimating back a little bit, the LPD angle was somewhere around 42.
CC: Fred, I'm having a hard time reading you, but I think you're giving me a LPD anglo.
LMP: Roger. That's it's Jack. The Moon is about 42.
CC: You say the Moon is at 22?
LMP: Four two, 42.
CC: Okay, 4 2. Thank you.
CC: How you doing there, Fred?
CC: Okay, Fred. I can just barely hear you saying something in the background and I can't make out what it is.
CC: Hello there, Aquarius. Oo ahead.
CDR: Roger. And Fred is being relieved now. He's - went back to get some rest. This is Lovell here who's got the duty.
CC: Gee whiz. You got up kind of early, didn't you?
CDR: It's cold back there in _he command module. J T_,pe c,7 /o Pn_e 391
CC: Well, what we were really thLnking about doin6 was letting you sleep a little bit 2onger because we figure you're pretty worn out.
CDR: Well, I'11 go back and forth once in a while to get a ...
CC: Is Jack up there with you?
CDR: No, Jack's still sacked out.
CC: Okay, Jim. We're kind of watching this PTC a little bit. Fred's been giving us a few LPD angles as we swang by the center of the Earth - center of the Moon. We noticed that the COMM has been degrading Just a little bit so you might have to talk up.
CC: And we just went on to the secondary C02 canister. Fred swapped out the primary, but we want to stay on the secondary until it is all used up.
CDR: Okay. I'm going to use the tape ... C02.
CC: We're reading a partial pressure C02 of 4.2 milli- meters. We're cleared to use the secondary until it reaches 15.
CC: Aquarius, in comparing ot_ initial estimates of water usage and electrical power usage, it appears that we're right on the money on water usage, and we're using a little less amperes than we had originally expected in our first analysis, so we're either right on the money or Just a little bit ahead of the game in that regard.
CDR: Well, that sounds encouraging, Jack.
CC: And there are a few temperatures that we're watching for you. You have the heaters powered down. We're looking at them, and those include the PIPAs, the ASA, the q_ad temps, and your propellants, except for the DPS propellant. Ts.ye 57/4
CDR: Okay. I've got them here.
CC: We have, as you probably know, several groups working on procedures from here on out. We have a group working on m_deourse corrections to determine a system, the attitudes, how to do it, alinement techniques, and so forth. We have a group working on the entry, including how and when we're going to activate the CSM. We have a group working on the CSM system status, and in a few hours - Later on tomorrow, from where we see it, we're going to go to some base configuration on the CSM and we're going to conduct a MAIN BUS B check. Right now the COMM is kind of degrading, and I can't hear what you're about to say very well. But I just want to keep you advised as to how things are going here. And remember you've got duty on the antennas.
CC: Aquarius_ are you reading Houston?
CC: Okay, Jim. I can hear you talking but I can't tell what you're saying because you're way down in the background noise.
CDR: Okay. Can you hear Aquarius now? Over.
CC: Oh, yes. That's much better. Did you get my report on the various types of people and what they're doing around here?
CDR: Roger. Sounds like you had things well organized. You might also consider what kind of a stowage configuration ... and what we can leave behind Aquarius, in
CC: Okay, Jim. I didn't catch that suggestion on account of the background noise; maybe we can pass it on when it gets more favorable.
CDR: I'm thinking in terms of stowage. Whether we would leave the suit .... the Hyeon camera in Aquarius, prior to ...
CC: Okay. I heard you say something about using the Hycon camera in Aquarius. Tane 7/_
CDR: Negative, Jack. I'm thinking of reentry !_towage attitude. Whether we should - what we _hould leave behind in Aquarius. Leave the suits behind; leaving such big items as the Hycon c_neras in Aquarius. Over.
CC: Oh, understand. You're thinking about stowage. What'11 we leave behind in Aquarius when we fall back into Odyssey. Is that right?
CC: Okay. We've people working on that, too.
CC: And we presently are tracking you at 22 500 m_les from the Moon, moving out at 4400 feet a second.
CC: And, Jim, earlier in the evening, we thought there was a misunderstanding about the amount of pot_]_ water you can drink, but we want to advise you that you can drink as much water as you want to. There's 38 pounds in the potable tank, and that's about all you'11 need. The doctors suggest you drink as much fruit juices as you want, too.
CC: Jim, earlier in the evening, Fred-o reported some venting out of window number 1 in the command module. He also reported a piece of loose metal about 4 inches square, silver, floating by, and one thing we were trying to establish is whether or not this is a new venting or whether this is part of the residual venting of our original problem. Do you have any more words or co_nents? And one thing he was doing was taking some photographs and we authorized photographs, targets of opportunity, using the lunar-surface 1/250 camera number 1, and use the setting of of a second, and not knowing precisely what f-stop to use, we suggested taking three of each, using settings of f:4, f:5.6, and f:8. Over.
CDR: Roger, Jack. The ventirg really seems to ... I reported earlier, I alsc spotted the large piece go by and prior to our ... burn ... The venting you see now is much greater ... went into the dark mode, you could easily distinguish stars Paae 394 and _]idn't haw · tho brifg_t _r'tic]rm _lr_d _r_ght pJ/O toar'apll:: ....
CC: Okay, Jim. Once again I hear you ta]king hack there but I can only pick out a few words; maybe we'11 have a better time.
CC: Aquarius, we're trying to improve our communica- tions. Could you turn the BIOMED off and give us a voice check, please?
CDR: Voice check follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; voice check out.
CC: Okay, Jim. That seemed to be better.
CC: How are you doing there, Aquarius?
CDR: We're doing good, Jack.
CC: Okay. Sometime when you get two guys available there and you could construct one of these lithium hydroxide rigs, I'd like to have you get the materials together, and we'11 go through the steps together.
CDR: Okay. Sounds good. And how do you read me now?
CC: Well, there is a lot of background noise, and sometimes it is worse than others and right now I hear you better than I have in the past.
CDR: Okay, Jack. I'm kind of curious the amount of perturbations our PTC attitude is taking. Y notice that we are getting off attitude, and I'm Just kind of curious how far we can let this go.
CC: We were tracking the attitudes with Fred earlier and it looked like what we were doing was oscil- lating about some point, but coming back. Are you detecting some kind 2f divergence now?
CDR: Not too much. I notice that it's different than when I went to sleep. We are more at an angle now with the terminator of the Earth, so when we started out, we were just about parallel with the terminator, and now _e are canted off somewhat. I haven't seen any trends, though, of going back and forth. 57/'( Tape
CC: And, Jim, our current plan is to not correct _he PTC. We're going to take whatever we get and live with it. And we can kind of keep track of what's going on a little better if when you swing past the Earth and swing past the center of the Moon, if you could read off the LPD angles for the center of the Earth and the center of the Moon. Over.
CDR: Roger. Will do, Jack. And I'm looking into the AOT now to the right - No, the number 4 detent, and we are venting something back there; I can see particles moving on past the command module. What it is, I don't knew.
CC: Okay. Can you identify the quadrant?
CDR: Well, I'm looking through the right rear reticle now of the AOT, and when I was back _n the command m_e,_"_ I could see it out of the CM i window. The particles are rather small, but they are coming out with some force. That's probably what is disturbing our PTC attitude.
CC: Yes, that sounds quite probable, Jim. That's about the same report we got from Fred, tut we haven't been able to identify what they might be and probably won't be able to until we crank up the CSM. If there's any change in that status, why, we just want to keep advised of it.
CC: And, Aquarius, we are setting a pretty good vector on you now. And it looks like you're a little bit outside of the corrldor. We're looking at a 7-foot-per-second midcourse at 104 hours. We are going to come up with an entry interface minus situatior 8 pad to use in the event of a loss of COMM
CDR: Roger. Understand, and I hope you have that pro- cedure for attitude.
CC: We are ginning up a procedure for attitude for you, Jim. For the no-COMM case, it may be a little different than wi,at the guys working on the procedures Come up _ith for the burn at 104 hours.
CDR: Roger. 'Papc 57/8 Yagc_ 2496 CC
UNKNOWN: I'm saying, Jim, is the guys who are working on this attitude situation for the burns haven't made their final conclusions yet, but in the interim period, we want to come up with something you can use, in the event that you lose COMM.
CDR: I concur.
CDR: Houston, Aquarius. The Earth is going through the 10-degree line or angle of the LPD.
CC: Okay, We copied 10 degrees. Is that Earth or Moon, Jim? Earth.
CDR: That is
CC: Okay. Earth 10 degrees. Thank you. Page [_97
CDR: And, Houston ... As we ... No_ ... has mn sm_f]e of about 24 degrees or: the LPD.
CC: Okay. We read 24, Jim.
CDR: That's affirm,
CDR: Jack, ... the LPD on the Moon now is 22 degrees.
CC: Okay. I'm reading you better, Jim. Say again, please.
CDR: Roger. The LPD now on the Moon is 22 degrees. i missed the Earth la.':ttime. I'11 get it this time.
CC: Okay. Twenty-two degrees, and looks like we've come up with a procedure for the attitude control on the upcoming burns. Probably the ones that we'11 use from here on out.
CDR: Okay, Jack. Stand by 1.
CC: It's going to be a few minutes before I'm ready to read it up to you.
CDR: Jack, on the first of the LPD angles is about a minus 2 degrees and Just slightly above the top line.
CC: Okay. Just went by minus 2 degrees. Is that on the Earth?
CDR: That's the Earth. Now, I don't know whether we're oscillating back and forth or not, Jack, or whether it's a continual motion. We'11 have to see here.
CDR: Okay, Jack. The Moon now has an LPD angle of 10 degrees 58/i! Tat_e Page 39_
CC: Okay, Jim. Just as kind of a lead-in to this procedure that we're _oing to use for the mid- course burn, I'd like to say that we're going to use AGS and it's going to be a manual burn. The attitude will be c_ontrolled manually_ the start/stop on the engine will be controlled man- ually. So we have a pretty good vector on you now, and it turns out you're coming in a little bit too shallow. So _at that means is we're going to make our burn to come in a little more steeply, and we're going to be coming in around the dark side of the Earth. Therefore, to come in more steep, our thrust should be in the di- rection of the Sun. Does that all make sense to you?
CDR: I think so. We're going to use AGS for a burn monitor. The burns _'e going to be manual, _md they're going to be started manually and stopped manually.
CC: Okay. And your reentry is around the dark side of the Earth, and since we're coming in shallow, we're going to have to burn toward the Sun to make it steeper. Do you follow that?
CDR: That's affirm. Especially these burns will be perpendicular to our flight path and to the Sun giving a steeper entry angle.
CC: Okay, Jim. I heard you say perpendicular to your flight path, which is affirmative, and I didn't get the rest of your statement.
CDR: I understand the technique, Jack. We're burning to give us time to steepen our entry angle, and it will be perpendicular to our flight path for corridor control.
CC: Okay. That's affirmative. So, in general terms, what we're going to have to do is to power up the AGS and bring up the AGS eight-ball, and then to set up your a_titude, put the COAS in the front window, and guidance control will be in AGS, of course. But manually orient the spacecraft to place the center of the Earth directly out the Z-axis. Then rotate about the Z-axis to place the point of the crescent on the l_d Y-axis of the COAS. this will have your plus X-axis in the direction of the SurL as we discussed before. So the crescent will be up with the point down. Copy that? Page B99
CDR: Okay, Jack. We'11 have to _o over _hat again. The COAS will be out front wir_dow; we'11 place the Earth in the center of the COAS, and, let's see, the center of the Earth right now is paral- lel to the LPD which is about parallel to our X-axis. And we'11 have to rotate about 90 de- grees to get our X-axis pointing toward the Sun.
CC: Okay, Jim. So we want to get the Y-axis of the spacecraft parallel to the terminator by putting the points of the crescent on the Y-axis.
CDR: Seriously, Jack, when I stop the spacecraft looking at - at the Earth, I'm going to have to roll - in LM terms, roll the spacecraft 90 de- grees to get the tip of the Earth all on the Y-axis.
CC: That's affirmative, Jim. You're going to have to roll 90 degrees to point your plus X-axis at the Sun and put the crescent - the points of the crescent on the Y-axis. The points of the crescent on the Y-axis with the COAS pointed at the center of the Earth will take care of your yaw and your pitch.
CC: Okay, Jim. After you get that orientation to come in a little more steeply, we perform an AGS body-axis aline which is at 400 plus 5 on the DEDA. If the AGS ball is up at this time, the AGS ball will go to 000. We can talk more about control modes later, but we'd recommend doing this, of course, in AGS ATTITUDE HOLD - ATTITUDE HOLD. Put your YAW to MODE CONTROL and leave PITCH and ROLL in PULSE_ therefore, con- trolling your attitude with the TTCA. We don't want to use the gimbal, so have ENGINE GIMBAL OFF. We'11 make these burns at 10-percent thrust. We'11 use a _aanual start and stop. For ullage, we'11 use the PLUS-X TRANSLATIONAL button, and ullage will be for 10 seconds. Over.
CDR: Okay. I understand what you're saying, but you'11 have to repeat it here. 58/4 Tape Pa_? 400
CC: Okay. We'11 pcrl'orm l,hH [luFri i.[: (iU]L)M_CI!] COi]- TROL to AGS. And MOi)t': CONT[iOL to ATT['?UDE HOLD. Your ATTITUDE CONTROL switches will be ROLL to PULSE, PITCH to PULSE, and YAW to MODE CONTROL. So the AGS will control your yaw and you will use the TTCA to control pitch and roll. ENGINE GIMBAL OFF; 10-percent thrust. Start and stop manual. For ullage, use the plus-X translational button; 10 seconds ullage. Over.
CDR: Okay. For the burn there will be go to GUIDANCE CONTROL AGS, MODE CONTROL ATT HOLD, ATTITUDE CONTROL switches will be ROLL PULSE, PITCH PULSE, YAW MODE CONTROL. We'11 use TTCA control for pitch and roll. ENGII_E GIMBAL will be OFF; we'11 be using 10-percent thrust; we'11 start and stop manually, the ... control ullage will be a PLUS-X TRANSLATIONAL button. And also our thrust will still be, but before that we are going to do an AGS aline ... ball ...
CC: That's affirmative, Jim. After you get oriented in the attitude you want to burn in, do an AGS aline which is - an AGS body-axis aline which is 400 plus 5. When you get ENTER, this will bring ball up to 000, and I want to confirm that you - that you said ENGINE GIMBAL OFF. 0-F-F. Over.
CDR: Roger. Confirm that ENGINE GIMBAL will be off.
CDR: And, Jack, how long do you estimate the length of the burns will be?
CC: Okay. The length of the burns are going to be probably less than a minute. And we want you to have cut-off based on time. So we will give you a burn time. And I have a P30 maneuver pad for midcourse-7 in the event that we lose COMM if you are ready to copy.
CDR: Okay, Jack. Ready to copy.
CC: Okay, Jim. P30 LM maneuver pad: the purpose is midcourse-7. NOUN 33 is 134:59:42.98. NOUN 81 is N/A. HA is N/A. !b is plus 0020.5. DELTA-V R is 0019.3. Burn time, 0:39; 008, 000; the rest is N/A; thrust will b_ at 10 percent. Read back. 58/5 Tape
CDR: Ail right. This is midcourse-7 corridor control, and it's in case we lose COMM: 134:59:42.98; NOUN 81 is N/A; 42, N/A; plus 0020.5; 0019.3. Burn time, 0:39; 008, 000. Ail the rest is N/A: thrust 10 percent.
CC: Okay, Jim. That's a good readbaek, and in the event of lost COMM, use the procedures that I gave you. It may be that between now and tomor- row these procedures will change a little bit, so we'11 go with what we've got now, and stand by for something better if it comes. Over. see that the ... total gimbal ... 19.3 feet per second.
CC: Okay, Jim. We verify 19.3 feet per second for 39 seconds.
CDR: The old midcourse technique sounds like some- thing that we came up with on Apollo 8.
CC: Yes, everybody wondered if you would remember that; by golly, you did.
CC: Hey, Jim, I got a little bit more information - LAT/LONG range maneuver pad, I got to go, VERB 10 and GET; if you got a place to copy that down, I'11 give it to you for EMS.
CDR: Go ahead. ?age _02
CC: Okay, Jim. I just have the ]asr three blocks. NOUN 61: latitude, minus 021.62; ]ongitude, minus 265.37; range to go, 2162.9; VERF 10:362_1: GET of .05g is 142:h1:30; read back.
CDR: I didn't get the latitude, but the longitude is minus 165.67; range te go, ]]629; ve]ocity 36291; 142:41'30.
CC: Okay, Jim. The latitude is minus 021.62; I i_ave a correction on the longitude - minus 165.37. Go ahead.
CDR: Roger, Jack. The latitude is minus 21.62; longitude is minus 16_.37, and this goes in conjunction with that midcourse 7 pad you gave US.
CC: That's affirmative. That means no maneuvers between now and midcourse 7- And this is a horizontal in-plane burn, plus X, toward the Sun, 19.3 feet per second.
CC: And, Jim, on the - Setting up the AGS, right after you do the 400 plus 5, you should do a 400 plus all balls. And one other point we want to clarify is that we know that youtre sure that this burn will be made with the plus X-axis pointing at the Sun to make the entry angle steeper. You got it?
CDR: That's right, Jack. What I'm going to do is - We'11 stop with the Earth in the commander's window, the COAS down, and then I'm going to maneuver the spacecraft so that I have the lighted portion of the Earth at the top of the window; that is, the COAS will be along the plus-Y of the spacecraft and the top of the window - of the rendezvous window, I should be looking into the Sun. That means I'11 be burn- ing towards the Sun and steepening the angle.
CC: That's affirm, Jim. I - You got the attitude right, and did you copy about doing a 400 plus all balls after - you do the 400 plus 5? That is, a 400 plus 5 and a 400 plus all zeros back to back.
CDR: Roger. I have copied that.
CDR: Jack - this is Aquarius. I'm not to_ sure h_,': long or with what force the venting is going to do to our trajectory. However, you might kee_ a check on that. It may have been going on fsr some time.
CC: Roger, Jim. We've been taking a look at it. We haven't been able to detect it on the Doppler, however.
CC: But we think it's pretty small.
CDR: And, Houston, Aquarius.
CDR: Jack, would you give me a time hack on an even GET so I can start my watch.
CC: Okay. Coming up on 87 hours and 35 minutes, we will be there in 30 seconds. Set it for 87.35.
CDR: Just give me a hack at 88 hours.
CC: Okay. I'11 give you a hack at 88 hours. That'11 be another 25 minutes.
CDR: Ail right. Thanks. Y'a_'_e)iU4
CDR: }louston, Aquarius.
CDR: Okay, Jack. Let's just talk over how i'm _-.oin_: to get to the attitude aad then do the burn. What I'm talking about is the control techni4ues. The way it looks now I'11 try to stop the ,_i'_ce- craft in yaw with the Earth out my window, i:_en we'11 be in GUIDANCE or we'11 be AGS CONTROL; we'11 be in - yaw will be in MODE CONTROL. Then we'11 be using the TTCAs to control the pitch : d then control the roll. I don't see another way we can control the combination that we have here without using the TTCAs. Then we will also use the TTCA during engine burn. Do you people con- cur with that technique?
CC: Jim, that sounds like the one that is best to use to me. Let me talk Jt over with the rest of the guys here, and we'11 advise you.
CC: Jim, in that control mode, that sounds liJ_e the best way to go. The only thing you'11 have to do is to get ATTITUDE HOLD in the AGS, and so before you start to maneuver, you'11 have t_ bring the AGS up, and get a 400 plus all zeron in there, and then AGS will respond in yaw when you go to MODE CONTROL. That is, AGS will con- trol your yaw in MODE CONTROL and your pitch and roll can be taken care of in PULSE with a TTCA. After you get in attitude, then, you'11 have to re-do an AGS body axis aline which is 400 plus 5, then go back to 400 plus all zeros again.
CDR: Right, Jack. That was my next question. I don't want to aline the AGS ball 000 until I am in po- sition, so we use that as a primary attitude burn monitor device.
CC: And, Jim, you can do a 400 plus all zeros any time you want to; that just tells the AGS that you want it to control your attitude should you go to ATTITUDE HOLD in MODE CONTROL.
CDR: Roger. I understand, but after we t?t to the attitude, we'12 do a 400 plus 5 to Met the AGf? aline ball, and then we'11 do a h00 plus zero.
CC: Another thing, Jim, is while you're maneuvering to that attitude using _ to control --_........ - if you find out enroute to that attitude tLTv you didn't quite have the yaw where you wanzed it to be, you can use your ACA and tweak up !he yaw, and your AGS needles go right back to zero because you zero the attitude errors.
CDR: Roger. Sounds good.
CC: Jim, you'11 be splashing down about 560 miles southeast of Samoa at about 0800 local time. The weather forecast for the area is good_ ]500, scattered, high broken, 10-mile visibility. The seas will be 5-foot waves, 15 knots, and you'11 _- going to _._o_ by boat ............ _n_/nr a_r_r_ft_ You'11 spend either the night on the boat or in a and return to Ellington by 141 on Saturday, the following day.
CDR: Roger. Would you tell the people of the LRL to turn it off.
CC: Oh, no. We're going to do the whole bit.
CDR: And don't forget my hack at 88 hours, Jack.
CC: Say again, please, Aquarius.
CDR: I want to get my time hack at 88 hours. 6-1/2
CC: Roger. That will be in about more minutes.
CC: Jim, we got a couple of news-type items. Presi- dent Nixon has chosen a judge from Minnesota for the position of Assocffate Justice in the Supreme Court. A bill gi_ing federal employees a 6-percent pay raise passed the House and went to the President; includes the military. And the air traffic controllers returned to work. Pa_e 406

CC: Okay. We got a minute to go.
CC: Okay. Coming up on the 88-hour mark. I'1] _iw, you a 2-second delay. Stand by to mark.
CC: How are you doing, Jim?
CDR: Pretty good, Jack. Say, you might have the peo- ple look at our DPS burn card to see what changes have to be made on it for the burn.
CC: Heard you say look at the DPS burn; you'11 haYe to say what about it again, please.
CDR: Roger, Jack. You might take a look at our DP_ burn card, our checklist card that we have in the LM, and see what changes might have to be put in that checklist.
CC: Okay, DPS burn card.
CC: How're you doing there, Jim?
CDR: Okay, Jack. It appears that we're going - funny diversion here, the PTC attitude in - in pitch. I'm going to do a LPD check now, but the last time the Moon went around, it was above - way away above the LPD angle and I see the Earth coming around now which is going to be pretty low. They oscillate back and forth, but each time they seem to get a little farther away from the center line. You might think of some pro- cedure to reestablish PTC, if itts necessary.
CC: Jim, the only way we know of y_e, ttint:_the as _ood or a better PTC than you've got r_t_ht n,,w is _,_ crank up the G & N and we - We don't want to d_- that. So our plan is to just take whatever _,--, get out of this, and later on, it may turn out by the time you get to burn attitude, you'11 _ce right where you want to be.
CDR: Okay. We'11 just leave her go.
CDR: What's our course of action to set up PTC after this midcourse at 1077
CC: We thought you'd ask that. t,o
CC: The only thing we can try to do, Jim, is _et the thing up manually and see what happens. Thcre must be a better answer than that
CC: - - and one course of action is to omit the mid- course and make a total midcourse, say, about 8 hours before entry. We haven't decided yet.
CC: Right now we're talking about a 7-foot-per-second midcourse at 104 hours. And extrapolate that down to about 8 hours before entry. We gave you a pad for that - that's about, only 19 feet per second, so if it doesn't change too much - and we can get all kinds of DPS.
CDR: Understand. Sure like to keep this vehicle in the corridor though.
CDR: Can you think of any normal venting phenomena that might occur like maybe _ a hydrogen tank that's over-pressurized relieving in the window?
CC: Yes, we thought of that, Jim. Fage 408 That i:_on_ po:;._;ibi i it.y i,JJaL d ira, t)a'cau_' - Wc h,_at_'d Ilf, 1.hat t:_hk, _J.rld WF: haven't been usin_ any hydroF,en and, therefore. it could be venting in the overboard release.
CDR: Right. The only other thing I can vhink of when I look at it through the AOT is - it did appear to be coming from one spot, but that's the only difference although I can't see where it is com- ing from because it's beyond the curvature of the command module. But, it appears like it. _ ir-bt be coming from more than this one spot.
CC: Okay. Thank you. We hope that when we cr_lk _,_ the command module tomorrow that we'11 be able to - or later on today - that we will be able to identify more closely what it's been coming from. But, the guidance guys say that they haven't been able to see the results of any venting in their data and it would take a very, very small r_nount to perturb their data.
CDR: Well, thatTs a note of encouragement.
CC: You got a Chinese band going up there?
CDR: Oh, sorry. I forgot all about hot mike.
CC: Sounds pretty good.
CC: Jim, we've had you scheduled for an eat period about an hour ago. I suppose you've taken care of that. The other thing is we're kind of in- terested in knowing how long you're going to be at stick there, or if you're going to go back to bed or what?
CDR: Okay, Jack. We're - We're going to set up a regular watch and sleep period here. Fred was up for a long time, so I got up a little bit early to relieve him. Jack and Fred are now asleep, so I'm going to let them sleep as long as they can, and then we'11 have an eat period and then I'11 go back to bed for a bit. And we'11 separate the schedule.
CC: Okay. We're right at the point now where, according to the flight plan that we had made up for you, that you would have all l_inished eating and you and Jack would have the duty while Fred went to sleep. So, ess_mtially, according to the plan we've got, you got uD ab_.... 3 or 4 hours early. And - The next time that ._ have that as a rest period for you is at 96 hours, which is 7 hours from now, and an hour before that, say at 95 hours, all three of you would eat, and then you and Jack would hit the sack again and Fred would have the duty until 102 hours. We'd be glad to take care of this work-rest cyeL for you.
CDR: Okay. That's good. Let me - Let me wait until they get up, or at least Jack gets up. He should be getting up before Fred. And we'11 try to get back on the schedule. I hate to wa_e everybody up right now though, if they're sleeping.
CC: Okay. Your choice on that. As soon as Jack gets up, i'd suggest we go ahead and break up these lithium hydroxide canisters and make a couple of them. Jack could work on that. It's going to take four sets of hands, I think.
CDR: Okay. We'11 make that the project, getting the lithium hydroxide canister squared away. 61/1. '{'apo ]'age }il0
CDR: Go _head, Itouston.
CC: Hi, Jim. We've got a flight handover in abeut 2 minutes, and we'11 have a temporary loss ef COMM. You don't need to switch antennas. Over.
CDR: Okay; fine.
CC: Aquarius, Houston through Madrid for a COMM check. How do you read?
CDR: Loud and clear, Joe. How me?
CDR: ... asleep?
CMP: I ... Maybe ...... hydroxide ...
CDR: ... on secondary. We'11 let it go to 15. Why don't you get on a headset, and I'11 be down ... for . . .
CDR: Okay· Jack's up with me now and you all ... procedure for making these lithium hydroxide devices, and soon as he gets on his helmet, he'11 be ready to copy, and then he'11 get started making one.
CC: Roger that, Jim. Understand - -
CDR: On second thought -
CDR: I'11 give Jack the headset for a while and he'11 copy down your instructions.
CC: Okay, Jim. I didn't c3py your second thought· Over.
UNKNOWN: _'J[ _Jv_: ,)n_'k thl: hc!:_lt_l t ri.nd let him copy the instruct, ion:;. Jim.
CC: Okay, The way I thought it might be best to do it would be to have you gather the eouir- ment and let us talk you through your procedure while you do it. Now, maybe you could give Jack the headset and - and - get the equipment to- gether, and we'11 talk you through the procedure. I think it'11 be a little easier to do that way than if you tried to copy it all down - and then go do it,.
CDR: Okay. Do you have any equipment listed? I']] just get it and give it to him and I can just sit here where I am.
CC: Okay. I think the equipment you'11 need will be two command module lith_llm hydroxide canisters, a roll of the gray tape, the two LCGs, because we're going to use the bags from the LCGs, and one - one LM cue card - one of those cardboard cue cards which you will cut off about an inch and a half out from the ring. Now, i think that's all we'11 need. Over.
CDR: Okay .... Okay, Houston.
CDR: Okay. That's two lithium hydroxide canisters, one roll of that special gray tape, two LCGs which we're going to use the bags from, one LM cue card and ...
CC: Okay. That's affirmative, Jim. If you'11 just cut the cue card, which is a handy piece of stiff paper the right size, about an inch and a half from the rings. Just cut off the ring holes, in other words, and you'11 have a card about 11 inches long and probably 6 inches wide, something like that.
CDR: Okay, ... I'11 have Jack gather up the stuff.
CDR: ... that roll of gray _;ape.
UNKNOWN: ... Okay. ... and ... plastic b_s.
CDR: Yes. Bring iL down he_'e. One LM cue card. i get that.
CMP: Okay. I got the canisters.
CDR: Okay, Houston; Aquarius.
CC: Yes. Aquarius, Houston. Go ahead.
CDR: We have gathered the materials, and I can put Jack on the headset and he can copy the instruc- tions ... do you see any need for - or should I copy it to give them to him, or do you th_nk they're too detailed?
CC: Why don't you pul him on the headsets, Jim, and I'11 read it out to him.
CMP: Okay, Joe ....
CC: Okay, Jack. Did anybody ever tell you that you got a 60-day extension on your income tax. Over.
CC: Yes. I think - I think somebody said that when you are out of your country, you get a 60-day extension.
CC: Okay; right. Okay. I'm ready to start into the procedure. When you answer me back, speak up - speak wp into the microphone, because our downlink is pretty noisy. The first thing we want you to do, and we'11 do this on one canis- ter, and then let you go ahead and repeat it on the second. So take one of the LCGs and cut off the outer bag. By cutting along one the heat seals; do it carefully and close to the heat seal, because we may h_ve to use the outer bag if we damage the inner bag. So go ahead and do that, and then we'11 do the next step.
CMP: Okay. Take an LCG, cu_: the outer bag by the heat seal. Be careful not to damage the inner bag. Right? (;ut
UNKNOWN: iI_.y, llouston, Odyssey - or Aquat'iu_;. Wo'vo douc that.
CC: Okay, Jack. Now - now remove the inner ba_ from the outer bag, and cut the inner bag, also, along one of the heat seals down one side.
CMP: Okay. Remove the inner bag from the outer bag, cut the inner bag along the heat seal along one side.
CC: Okay. That's correct. Do that, and report.
CMP: Okay, Joe. We've got that done.
CC: Okay, Jack. Now you can put the LCG itself; that is, take it out of the inner bag, put it in the outer bag, and stow it some place; we recommend U-I, but you can stow it wherever it's convenient.
CMP: ... outer bag ... _ld stow it back in ...
CMP: Okay, Joe. We've got that.
CC: Okay. Now pick up one of the lithium hydroxide canisters, and let me describe which end is which. It's approximately square on one - one of the vented flat ends, has the strap, and that end we call the top, the end opposite we call the bottom. Is that clear? Over.
CMP: Okay. I've got it, Joe.
CC: Okay. Now then, we're - we want you to take the tape and cut out two pieces about 3 feet long, or a good arm's length, and what you're - what we want you to do with them is to make two belts around the sides of the canister, one belt near the top and one belt near the bottom, with the sticky side out; wrap it around, sticky side out, as tight as possible. It'11 probably take both of you to get it nice and snug. Over.
CMP: Okay, now -
CMP: Okay. Now we've got to make the belt real taut here.
CMP: Real tight. And th_n ...
CC: Okay, Jack. Did you have - -
UNKNOWN: - - Hey_ Houston_ are you reading?
CC: Jack - -
CMP: - - We've got the two belts around the top and the one around the bottom all done.
CC: Okay, fine. The next step now is to anchor that tape, and the way we want you to do that is to cut about a 2-foot length off the roll and then tear it lengthwise so that you have two strips about 2 feet long and about a half an inch wide. And you'11 wrap those around the canister at right angles, more or less, to the tape that you've got so that it goes across the top and across the bottom; and when it goes across the top and the bottom, put it so that it's outboard of the center hole and try to get it over one of the ridges between the screens, so that it won't block the flow. Is that clear? Over.
CMP: Yes, Joe. Very good.
CC: Okay. Press on.
CMP: Okay. I've got a cut length right here and we'11 tear it lengthwise ... and I'm going to go around right here at this ridge all the way around at right angles and anchor it ...
CMP: Joe, just to clarify that, sticky end down. Right? On the tape that I am putting on now?
CC: I didn't quite copy that, Jack. Say again.
CMP: Okay. That will be the sticky end down on the container, right?
CC: Oh, that's correct. I forgot to say that. That's right.
CMP: ... hold that one right here, if I can s{_t it.
CMP: Okay, Joe; Aquarius. We've got that done.
CC: Okay, Jack. The next step is to get the EVA cue card and use it to form an arch over the top of the canister; just tuck one short end under one ridge on the top the other one against the ridge on the other side so that it forms a rounded arch over the top of the canister. You see, Jack, what we're going to do is slip the bag over this whole assembly and the cue card will serve to keep the bag from being sucked down against the screen. Over.
CMP: Okay. I got the idea.
CC: Okay. And when you've done that, to hold the arch in place, just run a strip of tape across the side of the - that is, across the top of the arch, and anchor it down to the sticky strips along each side.
UNKNOWN: Okay. i got the idea. Okay. Let me just repeat it here. Take a cue card, form an arch over the top, bringing it under the side here. When we're through, run a piece of tape from the sides across the top of that to anchor to the other side.
CMP: Okay. It worked.
CMP: The top .... Across the top.
CMP: Looks like you're going to have to cut the cue card slightly.
CMP: Doesn't have to be really ... over that the only thing we're ... we can just take the scissors and cut off the edge here. The only thing this does, Jim, is prevent this from being sucked down into the container.
CMP: Still going to need some more tape. Cut off the end. Okay. Whack off the bottom ....
CMP: Okay, Joe. We've got that arch built, and it's all taped in securely.
CC: Okay, Jack. The next step is to stop up the bypass hole, which is the hole in the center of the bottom of the canister; we want to stop t!_at up because we don't want to bypass the flow; and I forgot to tell you to get something to stick in that hole. We recommend that you either use a wetwipe, or cut off a piece of sock and stuff it in there, or you could probably even crumble lip some tape and use that. Over.
CMP: Okay. We'11 start plugging up the bypass hole.
CMP: Plug that hole. We can either - we can put some - either Let's cut a piece of your towel there.
CC: Sounds good. 62/1 Tape
CMP: Okay, Houston; Aquarius. We have the bypass hole all plugged up.
CC: Okay, Aquarius. The next step is take the inner LCG bag that you cut open, and slip it over the top of the canister, when you do that, orient it so that the ears of the bag, that is, the corners should stick out on the closed end - are oriented along the open ends of the arch, because we're going to snip one of those corners to stick the hose in. Pull it down until it fits snugly over the arch. Over.
CMP: Okay, Joe. Slip the bag over the canister so that the arch is at the bottom of the bag and that the ears are along oriented along, let's see - I guess it would be - would be at the sides of the arch.
CC: Depends on whe£ you mean by sides - over the - the open ends of the arch.
CMP: Right, the open endz of the arch.
CMP: Okay, Joe. We've got that done. i
CC: Okay. Now press the bag against the sticky belts that we put on the sides of the canister. If there is any excess material, just kind of pleat it, so that it makes a fairly tight seal, and then take another 3-foot strip of sticky tape and wrap it around the outside of the bag opposite the bottom - the bottom sticky belt - to make a nice tight seal.
CMP: Okay. I'11 do it. Okay. Now they want two strips around here to make a tight seal.
CMP: Okay, Joe. We've got the canister inside the bag, two strips around the sides of the bag, real tight, and both sealed.
CC: Okay; real fine. Now there's probably a couple of inches of excess bag sticking our around the bottom of the canister. To prevent this from sucking in against the bottom screen, we'd like you to trim it off with the scissors, and when you've done that, we'd like you to cut two more strips of tape about 12 inches long or so, cut the - tear them lengthwise to get four pieces 12 inches long and 1/2-inch wide, and then use those four strips to secure the bag by passing the strips from the sides of the canister outside the bag around the bottom of the canister and back up the other side, and when you do this, just as you did on the top, make them go outward of the hole and in between the screens. Over.
CMP: Okay. You want me to trim the excess material that's sticking off here; trim it at the edge of that canister? Or do you want any excess left over?
CC: No, you don't need to have any excess. Just trim it approximately level.
CMP: Okay. Let's do that first.
CMP: Okay. Now, Joe, you want to cut four strips, 1/2-inch 12 inches long each, in diameter. Tape that along the outsides of the bag across the ribs.
CC: That's correct, Jack. That's Just for additional security on the bag. When you get those done, you'11 have - You'11 have two strips going one way, and the other two will be perpendicular to them.
CMP: Okay, Houston; Aquarius. We've got the four strips in place. the next step to perform is to get ready to put the red suit hose, either the commander's or the LMP's because we're - we're going to want you to have both of these made up eventually, into the top of the - of the bag, and to do that you, first of all, have to assure that the - that the red hose is separated from the blue hose. I don't know whether this has been done already, but if it hasn't, what you have to do is cut the outer Beta-cloth sheath down the full length of the _ of the hoses and then also cut the rubber ties that secure the two hoses together, and the hoses should come apart and the COMM cable should - should come off. Over. Fagc, Iii() Ok_Jy. I'rn ,l,, T_d_.e th_ - go_lg to want to separate th_. red hose from the [ ]ue hone by cutting this Beln-clc_hh qf]_ath Ok_%_ rfhat'_ ir] work
CMP: Okay, Houston_ Aquarius. I have the LMP's red hose '.r'ren_ i. he e!.hers. separated
CC: ()kay. Rea} fine. Now the next step _s to cut s diagonal hole in erie ear of the - of the plastic bag near the arch. You can pick either one and cut about, a 1-1/2 or 2 inch diagonal hole, big enough bo sl:ip the red hose through. And when dorl(_ l,lml; , you'w_ you'11 jt_st slip the red hose through so that it goes about to the center of the canister, i_l's - it's - It's not critical t,l_}t opening should except the be down, and then 1c: wher'e [,ape the ml: the hose it goes in so that 5!,'_ trod nice [;,nu_-1 Over o . · CMP 1-1/2
UNKNOWN: Copy that. We want a 5nth hole right hero at this ear, and put the hose in here, end down and toward the canister and then we tape the seal around here.
CMP: Let's try iL. We can always make it bigger ii' we have Lo. Fred, get those .... the center of the arch.
UNKNOWN: Got to - Got bo come in towards the center, all the way to the (;enter. No, no.
CMP: Yes. I (tan't fiet,those big knobs.
CMP: ... Al} we have to do is ... tape around here ... tight fi1.....
CMP: Okay, IIouston; Aquarius.
CC: Aquarius, JJo_zston. Go ahead.
UNKNOWN: Okay. Our do-it--yow'se}f lithium hydroxide canister change is complete. Joe, the only thing different Js that our arch on this piece of card- board is not big enough to position the red hose with the inlet down, and the inlet - the inlet to - to the red hose is lying on its side, but I think it'11 still work.
CC: Ok_my, Jack. [ concur. I think it'11 work, too. There's oue step that i omitted, which you can do now qult_ conveniently, arid it's this. Where you stuff tho towel in the bypass hole ori the bottom, we rcconnmend that you cut a few short pieces of tape and just tape that over so it doesn't fall out. Over.
CMP: Okay. Will do. Jim, I've got one more little thing to do, and that's ... seal that top.
CMP: Okay, Joe. That's done.
CC: Okay, Jack. Now the remaining steps are simply suit-loop configuration steps to get this thing into full operation, and our ECS people want to ho]d off on that until the canister you're work- ing on gets to 7.6 millimeters of mercury, which will probably be another 45 minutes or an hour - it - We're reading 4.7 now. So what we'd like you to do in the interim is to set up the second command module canister the same way you just did the I'irst one, using the commander's hose, and get that all set and probably about that time it'11 be time to - to switch over. For your in- formation, when you've got that done and if you've had your breakfast and so on, the next thing I've got for you is a switch-configuration list for the cormmaridmodule, which will represent the - the powerdown, square-1 starting configuration for all our - our preentry checks. Over.
CMP: Okay. We'11 start setting up the commander's hose configuration the same as the LMP's hose. And I'11 get - instead of - I guess you want me to use my launch ... - launch checklist which I'd ...
CC: That's affirmative, Jack. What we have done is marked up the lift-off configuration checklist, and we'11 run through it whenever you get around to it.
CMP: And, I assume that ...
CMP: What I'd better do is before I put this thing back in operation, they're going to complete that other canister. I don't know. It should be in operation now .... Page 1_21
UNKNOWN: ()kay, I[ouston; Aquarius.
CMP: Okay, Joe. Should this canister be in operation now because it's already mounted on the hose? suit loop to get full flow through there, and it's okay the way it is. What I recommend you do with the commander's hose is get the bag all ready, but not stick the hose in until we call you on it. Okay.
CMP: It won't go around?
CMP: Yes. Or else a strip of tape.
CMP: Okay, Jim. We've got Lo start setting up the commander 's ....
CDR: You can get one of the cards, and I'11 start cutting the ... bag.
CMP: Yes .... show. How about that ... because I've got two in my ...
CMP: Yes. Here, we'11 store them back where I got it.
CC: Hello, Aquarius; Houston.
CC: Roger, Jack; Tom here. Just thought I would pass on to you and Jim that got a little data priority going today, and going to convene to CPCB and we'11 have you all kinds of good procedures for later on. Over.
CMP: Okay. Thank you, Tom. You guys are really work- ing overtime.
CC: We're getting a little coordination down here.
CC: Aquarius, Houston. You might pass on to Jim, he had such a long day yesterday, we thought we were going to have to play him some guitan music to get him to sleep last night. Over.
