Apollo 13 - Flight Director Loop (GET: 43:00 - 53:00) Part 7

Apollo 13 - Flight Director Loop (GET: 43:00 - 53:00)

Part 7 of a series to cover the entire mission in near real-time (long silences have been edited out). This part covers the overnight period into day 3 - crew wake up, P52 and discussions about moving into the LM to do the scheduled inspection and TV broadcast early to the 55 hour point. There are various controller conversations revolving around the Hydrogen levels in the Service Module tanks and the need to balance these up. Regular stirring of the tanks is advised. Listen out for the calls from the Capcom console to Jack Lousmas home and calls with Deke Slayton!

Audio is sourced from the Flight Directors communications loop in mission control (left channel) and the Capcom loop (right channel). NOTE - For this part of the audio the two channels were merged so this does not apply until later.
