Ken Mattingly:
I know this sequence works, John.John Aaron, EECOM Arthur:The sequence looks good, we're just over budget on the amperage.Ken Mattingly:By how much?John Aaron, EECOM Arthur:Three or four amps.Ken Mattingly:Goddamn it, John! Is it Three or four?John Young:Four.John Aaron, EECOM Arthur:Four!Ken Mattingly: Four more amps...Ken Mattingly:We know they have some power left in the LEM batteries, right?John Aaron, EECOM Arthur:Yeah.Ken Mattingly:We have an umbilical that provides power from the Command Module to the LEM.John Young:Right. It's a backup for the LEM power supply.John Aaron, EECOM Arthur:I'm listening.Ken Mattingly:So, reverse it. Reverse the flow and see if we can draw these four amps from the LEM batteries before we cut it loose. Why can't we do that?John Aaron, EECOM Arthur: We don't have a procedure for that, do we?John Young:You're gonna lose a lot in the transfer, Ken.Ken Mattingly:Yeah, yeah. But all we're talking about here is four amps

l know this sequence works John
00:00:03.998 --> 00:00:05.837
The sequence looks good We're just over budget on the amperage
00:00:05.922 --> 00:00:08.294
By how much Three or four amps
00:00:08.383 --> 00:00:10.541
Goddamn it John ls it three or four
00:00:10.593 --> 00:00:12.467
Four Four
00:00:12.553 --> 00:00:16.254
Four more amps
00:00:26.109 --> 00:00:28.944
We know they have some power left in the LEM batteries right
00:00:28.986 --> 00:00:31.275
Yeah
00:00:31.364 --> 00:00:35.444
We have an umbilical that provides power from the command module to the LEM
00:00:35.493 --> 00:00:38.992
lt's backup for the LEM power supply l'm listening
00:00:39.998 --> 00:00:41.286
So reverse it
00:00:41.374 --> 00:00:43.616
Reverse the flow and see if we can draw these four amps
00:00:43.071 --> 00:00:45.619
from the LEM batteries before we cut it lose
00:00:45.712 --> 00:00:49.958
Why can't we do that We don't have a procedure for that
00:00:50.999 --> 00:00:52.125
You're gonna lose a lot in the transfer Ken
00:00:52.176 --> 00:00:56.126
Yeah yeah but all we're talking about here is four amps
