CC: Apollo 14, Houston.
CC: We have about 4 minutes to LOS Vanguard, Ed. And, - due to the launch delay, the Canary pass will be pretty low elevation, marginal; at the most, about 2 minutes long.
CC: We're reading the CDR's EKG loud and clear now. We're wondering if you did anything to fix it up there.
CC: Roger. It looks good.
CC: Roger; we're real close to LOS, so I'11 go ahead and give you the words I've got about TLI. First of all, the - the monitor angles on page 12-24 should all be increased by 2.5 degrees. And, if you're monitoring the TLI burn with the cue card, the pitch angles should all be reading about 9 degrees higher than on the card. The yaw should be within a quarter of degree, one-fourth degree of what the card reads. Did you copy? Over. CANARY (REV 2)
CC: Apollo 14, Houston through Canaries. Over.
LMP: Okay, Houston. We got nothing of your last trans- mission. You dropped off the air.
CC: Okay, Ed. I'11 start over. For the TLI - coming up on your monitor - First of all on the cue card, the yaw angles as shown are okay. The pitch that you see on the ball should be 9 degrees higher all the way through the burn than as shown on the cue card; Just add 9 to all your pitch angles and that should be good. On the ORDEAL angles that - is shown on pages 2-24 and 25, increase each of those by 2 and a half degrees. At 57 minutes instead of 18, you should have 20.5 degrees; at 59 minutes, 12.5; and at 59:55, 8.5 degrees. Over.
LMP: Roger; understand that the yaw angles are okay. Pitch should be - angle should be plus 9 degrees and ORDEAL angles increased by 2.5 degrees.
CC: Roger. That pitch is a 9-degree increment over what is shown on the card. In other words, all the angles should be 9 degrees higher than as shown on the card - the inertial angles. Over.
LMP: Roger; got you, Gordon. We got that. We're with you.
CDR: Thank you, Gordon. Good call.
CC: For that time to take, you're going to have to reselect P15.

LMP: And Stu and A1 have started to change seats. We're going into our - -
LMP: - - pre-SEP checklist. NOTE After the Guam pass following TLI, there is continuous acquisition among Goldstone (GDS), Madrid (MAD), and Honeysuckle (HSK).
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. I have an update to your high- gain gimbal angles as shown on page 3-3 when you're ready.
CC: Okay, about five lines from the bottom, this is the high-gain angles after pitcharound for docking. It should be a pitch, plus 11; and yaw, plus 306.
LMP: Understand. Pitch, plus 11; and yaw, plus 3 - plus '306.
CC: Roger. That's right.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. I have some updates for your - for you now. Over.
LMP: What type of updates?
CC: I've got the S-IVB maneuver time and SEP time that goes on 3-1, and then a new S-IVB viewing attitude.
LMP: Roger. I'm ready to copy.
CC: The S-IVB maneuver time, 2:49:23. Maneuver will be complete in 3 minutes, and the nominal SEP time is 2:59:23.
LMP: Understand S-IVB maneuver 2:49:23 and it'11 m-neuver for 3 minutes. SEP is 2:59:25 - 23.
CC: That's correct, Ed. And then on page 3-7 - stand by 1.
CC: Terminate the cabin repressurization. We show you over 6 psi.
LMP: We beat you to it.
CC: Okay. And we have B 7 in front of you. I'11 give you the new S-IVB view-attitude NOUN 22 angle.
CC: Okay, it's about a quarter of the way down where it reads 93, B9.6, and 355.8. Change them to read same for roll, 090; pitch, plus 349.0; and yaw, plus 356.0.
LMP: Roger; understand. Roll is the same, pitch is B49.0, yaw is 356.0.

CDR: And we have the usual ...
LMP: You should have the television here in a minute. There it comes.
CC: Roger. We're not seeing it yet.
CC: Roger, Ed. We're getting a great picture now.
LMP: Okay. TRANSCRIPTION
CC: We can see the drogue down toward the bottom of the picture and slightly left. You might move the cam- era a little bit left and down about a half a frame.
CC: That's real good. Right there.
LMP: Houston, how's the television look to you now? Anything I can do to the picture? wouldn't
CC: No. I change a thing, Ed. Looks really good. It's right in the middle and steady.
CC: Just for your information, we've lost data with the LVDC. We don't have any procedures for you with regard to that.
CC: We've lost data with - all data from the LVDC, but we have no change in the figures. Go ahead with normal procedures.
LMP: Houston, 14. Do you need any commentary to help you identify what you're seeing on the TV?
CC: We're - we're picking out things pretty well here. anything If you have for - the rest of the country, you might go ahead and talk if it won't interfere with the operation there.
LMP: Okay, I'11 chat for a minute. The S-IVB is sur- rounded here by typical thousands, or millions of particles that came out when we separated. They look like little winking stars, floating around in a very random pattern. The sunlight is shining very strongly off the top of the lunar module as we drift into it. Stu's doing an excellent Job of sliding in here very slowly. As you can see that - our approach speed is a few tenths of a foot per second, probably. And the LM is starting to get very large in our field of view; starting to cover the window, out my plus-X window. And the LM and the S-IVB are boresighted right out our X-axis. We can see all of the - orange, yellow - thermal protection around the LM. The parts that are black, silver, and white; the colors stand out very nicely. And I can look across - across Stuart.
CC: Hi, Ed, this is Houston. About how far out in range are you now, would you estimate?
LMP: About 5 feet.
UNKNOWN: And Houston; we're about to dock.
LMP: We're probably a foot - 18 inches to 2 foot out now.
LMP: And we docked.
CC: Roger. We could see a slight oscillation.
CMP: Okay, Houston. We hit it twice and - Sure looks like we're closing fast enough. I'm going to back back out here and try it again.
CMP: Man, we'd better back off here and think about this one, Houston.
LMP: We're unable to get a capture.
CMP: Okay, Houston. We backed out a little bit, and that last time I hit it pretty good and we're Just not getting - getting the capture latches in there.
CC: Roger. We suggest you verify, if you haven't al- ready, the docking probe circuit breakers on panel 8.
CC: And - stand by 1.
CC: And, Stu, we suggest you go to EXTEND on the DOCKING PROBE EXTEND/RETRACT switch and check the talkbacks gray.
CMP: Okay. We did that when we extended them, but we'11 sure do it again.
CC: And then back to RETRACT.
CMP: Okay. We get both gray in the EXTEND position.
CMP: And we go RETRACT and both gray.
CC: 14, Houston. One other suggestion. Go to panel 229 and check the EPS group 4 circuit breakers.
CMP: Okay. They're both in.
CC: 14, Houston. We're about out of ideas here. Sug- gest you verify you got it - the switch back in RETRACT and then give it another try at docking.
LMP: Houston, we're starting to drift back in now.
CC: We suggest that at the initial contact that you hold plus-X for 3 seconds or so at least.
CDR: Okay, Houston. We tried it before, but not quite 3 seconds.
CDR: And ... a good rate coming in this time.
CMP: And here we come in again.
CMP: Okay, Houston. I hit it pretty good and held 4 seconds on contact and we did not latch.
CC: Roger. We're seeing it all on TV here.
CC: For your information, at B plus B4:24, a nonpropul- sive vent in the booster will be sequenced open. We don't expect to see much from it. Over.
CDR: Say that again, please.
CC: At B plus B4:24, a nonpropulsive vent in the booster will be sequenced open. Over.
CDR: Okay, we got you.
CMP: Okay, Houston; 14. I can look in the drogue and I can see three marks 120 degrees apart, like the capture latches are scratching the drogue. They're about - I don't know - inch and a half long going into the hole in the drogue about - spaced about 120.
CC: 14, Houston. Can you describe the scratches? Are they sharp scratches or rounded off? Over.
CMP: Well, I didn't really see that good. I can move back in, I guess. We can take a look at them. They look like fairly distinct - scratches coming into the hole, but - let's move up. We'11 take another look.
CMP: Houston, 14.
CMP: Okay, Gordon. I'm sure you're all thinking along the same lines, but - you know, if the capture latches were depressing as they slide into the drogue, I don't see why they would have made those marks.
CC: Yes, that's been discussed here. We think probably something is holding them out. One possibility is a sort of a shearpin that gets pulled off when the tower is Jettisoned and - First look at it looks - We're thinking maybe that may not be - may not allow the capture latches to depress. I guess we'11 just have to tell you to stand by while we talk it over here more.
CMP: Okay. We're - we're nice and comfortable. And I'm just going to drift around here about this range and try not to use any more fuel than I have to.
CC: Roger. A reminder. You have about 3 minutes until that vent will come open. Keep an eye on that booster when that happens.
CMP: Okay. How about you give me a mark on that beauty?
CC: Stu, this is Houston. That vent is due in 30 sec- onds.
CC: 10 seconds.
CC: Ready -
CC: MARK. It should be on now.
CMP: Man, it's beautiful.
CC: We can see one-half of it from here.
CMP: Okay, I'11 back down a little bit and let you watch this.
LMP: There's lightning - the whole sky. Of course, it's the source of another 10 million particles floating out in front of us.
LMP: As I was going to say when we were - got busy there a little while ago - look out our left window across Stuart, we could see the Earth receding.
LMP: Houston, we observe that the S-IVB is slowly rotating.
CMP: Gordon, how do you read?
CC: Loud and clear. Go ahead.
CMP: Okay, I'm not sure what we might be doing to the win- dows. I guess it's a minor problem at this point, but is everybody happy with us sitting here in this vent ?
CC: I don't think that point's been raised. Let me ask it around here.
CC: While we're working on the problem here, we suggest that you go to a 5-degree dead band in the DAP. That will be a DAP load llll2 to save RCS, and nobody's come up with a good suggestion on what to do about the windows, so I guess we just won't worry about it now.
CMP: Roger. Like I say, I think it's a minor problem.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. I'd like you to try one thing. Take the EXTEND/RETRACT switch to RETRACT and tell us what the talkbacks read in RETRACT as you have on others before.
CMP: Okay, Gordon. You want the switch in RETRACT and a read - readout of the talkback?
CC: That's affirmative; while the switch is in RETRACT.
CMP: Roger. It's in RETRACT now and the talkback is gray.
CC: Okay. That tells us right there that the capture latches are indeed cocked and that kind of says that there's something in there that's keeping us from releasing them when we go ahead and dock. And it says that we cannot fire bottle.
CC: It Just wouldn't fire, is that the true ...? It would not fire. Right?
CC: Another question. Can you remember back to the initial probe extension, did you hear a thud as though it did extend out?
CMP: That's affirmative, Gordon. I guess I should have mentioned that sooner. Yes. We got the thud and we got the talkbacks on barber pole, then _mmediately back to gray. But we did feel - feel - feel the thud.
UNKNOWN: Houston, 14.
LMP: Do you want me to leave the television running or shall I take it down now?
CC: Stand by. Like to leave it running, Ed. But we're not seeing that booster right now. It's in the lower left corner, Just barely. But we'd like to keep it running for a future use.
CDR: Houston, 14. And turning the PYROs and SECS - and SECS LOGIC, OFF.
CC: Okay, we'd like to essentially try the docking again with the normal procedures rather than going to more drastic alternate procedures. We'd like you to re- configure the DAP. R1 should be lll02 for docking. We'd like you to go to EXTEND/RELEASE and hold it for at least 5 seconds, and then return to RETRACT and proceed with one more try at a normal docking. Over.
CMP: Okay, we'11 put a narrow dead band in and we'11 go EXTEND for 5 seconds at least and back in RETRACT and bang it again.
CC: And, 14; Houston. Make your closing rate on this try, not - not fast, not slow, just a normal closing rate.
CMP: Okay. We'11 try it. I thought that's what I had the first time, but we'11 give it a go.
CC: Roger. The first time looked that way to us. We'd just like to try it again.
CC: 14, Houston. When you do that EXTEND/RELEASE - for the - at least 5 seconds so you can read the talk- backs to us.
CDR: And, Houston, we'd like to bring SECS LOGIC, ON, and get another GO for pyro arm.
CC: Stand by. We're ready for LOGIC, ON.
CDR: LOGIC is ON.
CC: lb, Houston. You're GO for pyro arm.
CDR: Roger. Go for pyro arm.
CDR: Houston, 14. Are you ready for the EXTEND/RELEASE position of the switch?
CC: That's affirmative. Go ahead, Al. EXTEND/RELEASE
CDR: Okay. Going in RETRACT, and on my mark. Five seconds.
CDR: MARK. My barber pole stayed gray, back to OFF. Barber pole is still gray.
CC: Roger; understand.
CDR: Back to RETRACT. Barber pole still gray.
CC: Roger. I understand the talkback stayed gray all the way through.
CDR: Okay, Houston, we're starting to close on it now.
LMP: About 4 feet on it, Houston.
LMP: No latch.
CMP: No latch, Houston.
CDR: Houston, 14. I'm sure you're thinking about the possibility of going hard suit and bringing the probe inside to look at, as we are.
CC: That's affirmative. We may have one more procedure to try prior to going to that. Stand by i now.
CC: We'd like some more words on the exact appearance of the drogue, the scratches, and so forth. Over.
CMP: Okay, I'11 give you - try to give you the best. As I look at the probe - and then you all can figure out where the docking latches are from there; but as I look at the probe in the docking position, the prominent thing - are we have three scratches about - oh, maybe a couple of inches long, and they're really - well, the top one is about - essentially 12 o'clock, maybe 11:30, and then they're spaced, you know, equally around the ring, about 120 out.
CMP: And there is one other scratch that I didn't see before, that I must have put on this last attempt. I noticed it as we backed out, and it - Well, there - there are a couple of other little ones, but the next prominent scratch is, oh, at about the 7 o'clock position. It starts at the hole and runs out for about 3 inches - maybe 4 inches.
CDR: Houston, all these scratches are radial, and they're right up at the very apex of the drogue.
CC: Hey, Stu. This is Gene-o. Do you read?
CMP: Yes, loud and clear.
CC: Okay. We - we got one more idea down here - Be- fore doing any hard suit work, and - let me throw it out at you, and you come back with your impres- sions. We're thinking of - of attempting to - to dock actually without the aid of the probe, which requires some pretty fine alinement. We're think- ing that maybe you could go ahead and go through a normal plus-X and put the probe in the drogue, and while your holding a - This will help you with your alinement - and while you're holding a plus-X, go ahead and blow a bottle and try and retract the probe. Now, if the probe retracts, it should retract well out of your way, so that the - the actual docking latches, with any luck on the alinement, should mate. Now, if you get one latch, we feel we'11 - we'11 be fast and we can - we can get them all. There's one hooker. The configuration that we thinkyou might be in - Electrically, there may be a series path broken which doesn't allow us, actually, to - to retract the probe through blowing one of those bottles. But we feel it sure is worth a chance or, worth a try before - before we do any hard suit work.
CDR: All right, Gene-o. Let me see if we understand you on that. Your - your thought is to blow one of the bottles to retract the probe after we're alined up and Just before contact - or wait until we contact, and then thrusting, and then retract the probe.
CC: Okay, Al. We're - we're thinking that actually, if you use the - Leave the probe extended until you actually contact, that - that any small, mi- nute misalinement, at least in translation left, right, up, or down, will be taken out as the probe centers in the hole of the drogue. If you can keep a plus-X going at that time and then retract the probe, hopefully, your alinement will stay fairly close and - and we may pick up a couple of the docking latches. Now, as I said, we've got some reservations. We're not - we're not sure, actually, the probe is going to retract, so you might keep that in mind. But again, if it doesn't retract, we haven't lost a bottle, and if it does retract and you - you do get a docking latch, we've accomplished what we wanted to.
CDR: Okay, Houston. We'11 review what we're going to do for you. See if it is the right thing. Stu is going to make the approach; close at a very slow rate until initial contact. He's going to call out at that time and apply plus-X. I will then go to the RETRACT PRIME i position.
CC: That - that's it, Al. That - That should -shouid do it if that - that probe does actually retract, and if our alinement is good enough, the possi- bilities are pretty good of picking up the dock on latch.
CDR: Okay. You - Your theory is, it is going to re- tract because you feel the capture latches are locked.
CC: No. I - Actually, the impression here is that it is not going to retract.
CDR: Okay, Houston. We're on our way in now and we're going to try the plus-X until it's - After its initial contact, try the plus-X until it's settled down for perhaps a second or two and then go through the retract cycle at that time.
LMP: Okay, Houston. We're about 12 to 15 feet away.
CC: Roger, Ed. We got a very good picture.
CDR: We got some, Houston. I believe - -
CMP: - - we got a hard dock, Houston.
CMP: Wa got it.
CDR: We noticed no response for practically perhaps 2 to 3 seconds after initiating PRIME RETRACT 1. We then got barber pole on both - went gray on - both at the hard dock.
CC: Roger, Al. That's great.
CC: Super Job, Stu.
LMP: It didn't even wiggle when you hit it. Hight in there.
CDR: Okay. Shall we proceed with the checklist?
CDR: All right. Go ahead, Houston.
CC: Roger. We'd like you to proceed on now with the normal hatch and tunnel procedures.
CDR: That's in work, Houston. We'11 keep you advised.
LMP: And, Houston, I'm turning the TV off now.
CDR: Roger. We want to Just verify that you're still all hard suited before proceeding with the - the tunnel procedures - -
CDR: Not hard suited.
CC: Not hard suited, but completely suited up before proceeding the - the tunnel procedures.
CMP: Roger. We will - Roger, Houston. Why don't you review the procedures again as we go down the checklist here, and we'11 check with you again when we get to that point. We do watch the cabin pres- sure pretty closely, you know.
CC: Al, can you just give us a - a qualitative feeling of what it sounded like when those docking latches just did go? Did you get a - a sort of ripple bang or are you convinced you got quite a few of them?
CDR: Yes. It was a ripple fire, Gene-o. I'm convinced we did quite a few.
CC: Yes. That - that sounds pretty familar, Al. It - it sounds like you're really probably - I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see if you got them all.
CDR: Yes. I think we got quite a few, Gene-o. It looked - It was a good hard dock.
CC: Beautiful. Tell Stu that session he had this morning paid off.
CDR: Yes. And we're going to buy him his present from here.
LMP: Houston. DELTA-P at 2.0. We're starting a - a DELTA-P stable check.
CC: All right, Ed. Would you repeat your last, please.
LMP: Roger. We're starting to check the DELTA-P for 3 minutes.
CDR: Houston, Apollo 14. We have lost 1/10th of 1 pound per square inch by the DELTA-P gage during the B-minute period. We'd like to proceed as we are.
CC: All right. You're clear to GO with that.
CDR: Roger. Proceeding.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. We'd like you to verify the H2 FANS, OFF.
LMP: That's verify.
LMP: Belay that, Houston. They're OFF now.
MS: Go ahead.
CC: Have some RCS quantity numbers - just - it should make you feel good. You used 131 pounds so far, which is 62 pounds below nominal, but you're still 211 pounds above the redline. Over.
LMP: Roger, Houston. We got - We used 131 pounds, which is 62 pounds below nominal. And say again how much above redline?
CC: You're still 211, 211 pounds above the redline.
LMP: And, Houston, we got all the docking latches.
CC: Roger. Understand; you got them all. Very good.
LMP: Al's checking carefully now, but that's his first report.
CMP: Okay, Houston. We got all the latches, and every- thing was fine. All we had to do was Just tap on number 2 and 8 to lock the handle down.
CC: Roger, Stu. If you haven't bled the nitrogen with the red button, don't for a minute here.
CMP: Oh, you caught us in time. We have not bled it.
CC: Okay. Stand by. I want to make sure that - What EECOM wants to do here.
CC: Okay, after a massive discussion here, we've de- cided - have you go ahead with the procedures as you see them in your checklist there. Verify the EXTERNAL LATCH ENGAGED indicator, not visible, and then go ahead and bleed the GN2.
CC: Roger. In 5 to 10 minutes, the S-IVB fuel pressure should get up to the point where it'11 vent. It's through a nonpropulsive vent - it shouldn't affect you - much. Over.
LMP: Okay, in 5 to 10 minutes. Thank you. And we're Just about to put the hatch back in.
CC: Go ahead, 14.
CMP: Okay, Gordon. Is there - Just want to make sure that we're all talking on the same frequency on this ejection and - and the maneuvering and every- thing. Have we got any changes on any of those procedures?
CMP: I guess that - -
CMP: I guess what I'm wondering is - after this long a time, is the S-IVB still in the same condition, and so forth and so on?
CC: Okay, Stu. Stand by. I'11 get a good s_mmary of that.
LMP: Gordon, be advised. We're on page L37 and ready for pre-LM SEP and ejection.
CC: Roger. I'd, essentially, like you to go through procedures and - as you would have nominally. The - the only anomaly with the booster is - right now - is the - that we have lost the downlink from the launch vehicle digital computer, and so your visual indications of its attitude and maneuvers are the only ones that we'11 have. We have no read-out on booster attitude down here. And, actually, we've lost many of the downlink param- eters on the booster; however, it shouldn't affect the evasive maneuver and targeting to impact. Over.
CMP: Okay, Gordon. That - that - that's what I was wanting to clarify before we pressed ahead so we'11 - we'11 press right on down and - as nom- inal and give you the call when we see it and so forth.
CDR: Houston, 14. We'd like a GO for pyro arm, please.
CC: You have a GO for pyro arm.
CMP: Houston, we're going for SEP.
LMP: Houston, got a CRYO PRESS light in the - 02 tank 3.
CC: Roger. We're - we estimate that's probably stratification.
LMP: Roger. Sorry, that's also tank i and 2 that Just dropped down.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. We'11 be standing by from you for a - let you have the S-IVB visually and a GO for the yaw maneuver.
CMP: Okay, Gordon. It's just now coming out from be- hind the LM for me in the left window here. About another 15, 20 seconds, we ought to have a good view of it.
CMP: And - Okay, we're well clear, Gordon, if you want to go ahead and do yaw maneuver at your convenience.
CC: 14, Houston. We Just sent a checkout command to the booster which looked good. So we're getting ready to start the yaw maneuver now.
CMP: Okay. Why don't you give me a mark when it's coming?
CC: All right, will do.
CC: 14, Houston. We'11 be commanding at 55 plus 30, about 5 seconds from now. Ready -
CMP: Okay, she - she's moving, Gordon.
CMP: Well, Gordon, the maneuver looks like it's going well. She's sure maneuvering away from looking at us, and it's a beautiful sight.
CC: Roger, Stu. It sounds good to us. We had some question about command capability and it sounds like it's okay.
CMP: Oh, yes. She's going away from us.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. Would you give us OMNI Delta?
UNKNOWN: you have it, Houston.
CC: With a GO from you up there, we'11 plan to initiate APS the evasive burn at 6 plus 04 even. Over.
CMP: Okay. Yes, it's well boresighted away from us, and we '11 be standing by.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. The evasive maneuver should be going now. How does it look?
CMP: Roger. We - we see the booster moving.
CC: Now the last thing you can do for us on this, be- cause of our lack of determining the booste r at- titude, is, as it fades out of view - if you can determine if it is still looking stable. Over.
CMP: Okay. We can sure handle that, and you got some venting there, too, as you started that maneuver.
CC: Roger. That's normal. I was expecting it.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. Would you go to MANUAL and WIDE on the HIGH GAIN, but stay in OMNI Delta?
CC: Thank you, Ed.
CC: Go ahead. Go ahead, 14.
CMP: Okay, Gordon. I'm sure - sure you all have been - been talking about it. Do you want me to press ahead with the maneuver to the P52 attitude and go into that?
CC: Roger, Stu. That's affirmative. We'd like you to go through with the normal procedures as shown in the flight plan down to that P52 at 5 hours and 40 minutes, but at that point we're going to deviate slightly in order to save some RCS. We do not want you to do the fuel cell purge or the waste water dump. We're planning to have you - or - or - and we do not want you to do the - go into PTC. At that point we're planning to do the P2B which will be a little early, and we'11 have a new attitude for that. And then we'11 go into PTC. Right now it looks like midcourse 1 is likely to be necessary, so that we'11 save one PTC spinup. That way we'11 save some RCS. Over.
CMP: Okay, now at 5:50 you say, do not do the fuel cell
CC: That's affirmative, Stu.
CMP: Okay, we won't do it. 14 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CC: Roger. As soon as you get to your attitude there, we're ready to uplink a new REFSMMAT to you.
LMP: Houston, 14. Do you want me to start a battery B charge ?
CC: Ed, that's affirmative. Go ahead with the battery B charge.
CMP: Hey, Gordon. I can - got a beautiful view of S-IVB now, out of the left-hand window, and she's stable as a rock.
LMP: And, Houston, I've initiated battery B charge.
CC: Roger, Ed. Would you give us OMNI Charlie, Ed?
CC: You have it.
CC: Roger. And at about 6:25:20 the LOX dump should start on the S-IVB. You might keep an eye on it at that time. I'11 give you a warning about 10 seconds prior.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. That LOX dump should start in about 10 seconds.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. The LOX dump should be com- plete now. Did you see anything of it?
CDR: Yes. It's a beautiful sight, Houston. The sun was shining from the side; it was streaming out. We tried to get a couple of Hasselblad shots of it from the corner of the window. It was really fantastic.
LMP: Okay, Houston. You have POO and ACCEPT.
CC: Roger. And we'd like you to try to bring up the HIGH GAIN now. Use a PITCH of plus 28 and a YAW of plus 317. Over.
LMP: Roger. 28 and 317.
LMP: Okay. You're in AUTO and locked up, Houston.
CC: Ed, this is Houston. We're having a little problem with our read-out of high-gain-antenna angles here. Would you read out your onboard pitch and yaw angle?
LMP: Roger. PITCH of plus 29 and YAW of about 320 - 330.
CC: Say again the YAW.
LMP: About 330.
CC: 330. Roger.
CC: 14, Houston. We have the REFSMMAT and trunnion bias zero in there. It's your computer. Okay.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. Go ahead.
LMP: Roger. Did you get our NOUN 93s?
CC: That's affirmative. We copied them.
CC: Ed, would you give us the torquing time?
LMP: Roger. 006:40:35.
CC: 6:40:35.
CC: Apollo 14, Houston. Over,
CC: Okay. If you haven't already, we'd like you to continue on through the rest of the procedures in the flight plan after the P52 down to 6 hours, ex- cept don't do the 02 fuel cell purge or the waste water dump.
CC: Okay. That's what we're planning to do.
CC: And, then, Ed, I have a longer update; I want you to do a P23, the one that's scheduled for about 9:50 in the flight plan- correction 9:30, and if you'd turn to that, 'I'11 give you some new stars and other informati °n to go then.
LMP: All right Houston, I have the flight plan open to 09:30.
CC: Okay, Ed. On the P23, the optics CAL attitude is the same as listed there. Like you to change the P23 sighting attitude to roll, 184; pitch, 2 --
LMP: Hold it, hold it.
LMP: Okay. · I'm ready; go again.
CC: Okay. It's listed there at 42. Roll, 184; pitch, and 283; yaw, 310.
CC: Okay. The sighting attitude is 184, 283, 310.
CC: That's right. And we have a change in the order of doing the stars, plus a couple of substitutions. I'd like you to use the listed star number 3, that's G_,m- Centauri, number 53. I want you to do that star first.
LMP: Hold it a minute.
LMP: Okay, 53, G,_m, Centauri is first.
CC: Roger. And then the star that's listed number 2, number 236, will be the second star.
CC: Roger. Delta Ophiuehi.
CC: Okay. And then the third star is a different one, a new one. It will be star 161, Iota Centauri - and Earth far horizon. EFH.
LMP: Okay, star 3 is 161, Iota Centauri,
CC: Roger. The NOUN 70 for that star is the same as the NOUN 70 on star number 1. It ought to be easy Just to write it down. That'11 be OO all balls on the first register, all balls on the second register, and 00120 on the third register.
CC: And NOUN 88 is completely different. First register, minus 75603; second register, minus 27129; and third register, minus 59566. Over.
LMP: Roger, stand by a minute.
LMP: Okay. For Iota Centauri, NOUN 70 is all zeroes, all zeroes, 00120; NOUN 88; minus 75603, minus 27129, minus 59566.
CC: Roger, Ed. Readback correct. Okay, the fourth star will be star number 24, Gienah, Earth's far horizon. And NOUN 70 will be first register, 00024; second register, all balls; third register, 00120; and you don't need a NOUN 88 for that one. Over.
CC: Okay. The fourth star is 24, Gienah, EFH; NOUN 70 is 00024, all zeroes, and 00120.
CC: Roger. That readback's good. After you finish that P23, we'd like you to do the 02 fuel cell purge and the waste water dump. And then the - the activity to follow is still under discussion here; we're talking over possibly removing the drogue and taking a look at it at that time and possibly cranking up the TV to give us a picture of it back here. So the decision to start PTc after finishing the P23 will depend on whether we're going to request you to give us a TV shot of the drogue and probe. Over.
LMP: Okay. Understand, and the - following the P23, you want us to press on with the 02 fuel cell purge and waste water dump that's listed about 11:25. Is that correct?
CC: I guess it's listed there, and it's also the same thing you skipped back there at 5 hours and 55 min- utes. I guess - -
LMP: Do you want us to do it immediately after the P23, or wait until 11:25.
CC: Roger. Stand by. I'11 check on that to be sure. Do that immediately after the P23, Ed.
CC: One other thing, while you have a pencil in hand, is a lift-off plus 15 P37 block data when you're ready.
LMP: Houston, go ahead with the PB7 for lift-off plus 15.
CC: Okay, Ed. GET of ignition is 015:00; DELTA-V T , 5700, minus 165; GET for 400K, 045:04. Go ahead.
LMP: Okay. GET is 015:00; 5700, minus 165; 045:04.
CC: Roger, Ed. Your readback's good.
CC: 14, Houston; go ahead.
CC: Roger, Gordon. We didn't quite understand when you wanted us to start this P23 that you passed the info on.
CC: Right now, whenever you're ready.
LMP: Okay. Stu's going to get out of his suit here, and we'11 be ready in a few minutes.
CDR: All right, Houston; 14. How do you read?
CDR: Okay, Gordon, I Just wanted to check and make sure that I was back on the corem here.
CC: Apollo l_, this is Houston. Over.
CC: Roger, Stu. When you get ready to commence your P23, we have a change to the sighting attitude, based on your current estimated time of starting. Over.
CMP: Okay. And, hey, could you give me an estimate on - on this? Are you wanting us to press on into that right now, or do you want us to go ahead and get the suits stowed, so forth?
CC: That's really your option, Stu. Whenever you con- veniently get ready to run a P23, why don't you check with us, and we'11 m-ke sure you've got a current attitude? Over.
CMP: Okay, Bruce. How do you read?
CC: Go ahead. Apollo iH, this is Houston. Go ahead.
CMP: Okay, Houston. I'm getting ready to start this P23, and - and I guess that last P52 will still be good for this, and I'11 start into the optics CAL attitude and then get your VERB 49 attitude to start after that.
CC: Okay. And I'11 check and see if we want to update our attitude from the one I got here in front of me, and we'11 pass it up to you when you'reready.
CMP: And, Bruce, I guess I want to verify we do not need another P52. It's been - what - an hour since that last one?
CC: That's verified.
CC: Apollo 14, this is Houston. Over.
CC: 14, this is Houston. We'd like you to acquire us with the HIGH GAIN antenna. PITCH, minus 75, and YAW, plus 99. Over.
CC: Roger. Minus 75 and plus 99.
CC: Apollo 14, this is Houston. Change YAW angle to plus 120.
LMP: Okay, Houston. We've locked up AUTO TRACK.
CC: Apollo 14, this is Houston. Ed, we'd like you to read out the PITCH and YAW position meters on the HIGH GAIN antenna for us, if you would, please.
LMP: Roger. The PITCH is read£ng - minus 90, and YAW is 150.
CC: Roger. Minus 90 and plus 150.
LMP: No, make that about 180 - I mean about minus 80 and 150.
CC: Roger, 14. Minus 80 and plus 150.
CMP: Okay, Bruce, how about that attitude for the P237
CC: Roger, Stu. The attitude will be roll, 179; pitch, 280; yaw, 310. Over.
CMP: Roger. 179, 280, 310.
CC: Apollo 14, this is Houston. For your information, the booster people are planning an APS burn on the S-IVB at 9 hours GET even. Over.
LMP: Houston, 14. Have you any idea where we should look to see it?
CC: Stand by on that one, Ed. And, if we can get some good angles and stuff for you, we'11 send them up.
LMP: Okay. We've Just been moving around here. We've lost track of it.
CC: Ed, this is Houston. Coming up on the S-IV3 APS burn, and - we don't have a good attitude for you to look out right now.
LMP: Okay. We'11 kind of look around and see what we can see.
LMP: Give us a hack on it, Bruce.
CC: Roger. It's going now. It's about a 4-minute burn.
LMP: Houston, we've been unable to spot the S-IVB.
CC: 14, this is Houston. You can try looking out the right-hand side window and - with your line of sight depressed a little bit from the straight-out pos ition.
CC: ... SPS engine bell was.
LMP: Roger. The Sun's coming in that window.
CC: Okay. That's probably going to make it pretty difficult to spot.
LMP: Makes it a little hard on the eyes.
LMP: Bruce, we've been sincerely busy with housekeeping up here. We haven't had a chance to - describe anything we've been seeing. We'11 get around to that after a while.
CC: Say again what you're going to get around to.
LMP: I was saying, we'11 get around to - doing a de- scription for you after a while.
CC: And the S-IVB burn has been completed, Ed.
CDR: Bruce, we've been wondering if you found your headset all right when you got back to the MOCR.
CC: Yes, I've got it on. I didn't notice anything wrong with it. You may be a little subtle for me, but go ahead.
LMP: You obviously found it. It is working.
CC: Apollo 14, this is Houston. I have a flight-plan update for you.
CDR: All right. Just a minute.
CDR: Okay, Houston, go ahead with your flight-plan up- date.
CC: Roger, 14. We have a P52 that was previously _ scheduled in the flight plan at 9 hours GET. We'd like you to hold off on that P52 until after PTC is established, and then run it while in the PTC mode. After your P23s are complete here, we'd like you to perform the oxygen purge and waste water dump. Also perform the DELTA-V test and null bias checks, as called out in the flight plan at 9 hours and 20 minutes GET previously. And then you can deactivate the primary evaporator at your convenience. And we'11 be having instructions for you on what we want to do on - with respect to the probe and drogue, and I guess that we'd like your commentary or your feelings on how you'd feel about pulling it out and reinstalling it this evening before you turn in. Over.
CDR: Okay. You want the P52 regularly scheduled for 9 to be done after PTC is commenced. You want 02 purge and water dump, and ... now and we'11 do the DELTA-V test and null bias check momentarily, as soon as 23's been completed. We'11 check out the probe and call you back.
CMP: And, Houston; 14.
CMP: Okay, Bruce. I Just wanted to say a word about that P52 that we had Just before the P2B. Went to that P52 attitude and PICAPAR - I went to pick the star that was occulted by part of the LM. So you probably saw me dial in another star. Andthe stars weren't probably separated too far, as far as the criteria goes. So if anybody's looking at that, that's the reason.
CDR: Regarding the probe, I don't think we'd mind taking it out tonight, discussing it with you, letting you look at it, and then leaving it out for the night.
