Gus Grissom

Lost what? What have we lost?

John Young

Lost a primary converter.

John Young

I'll get that heater off.

John Young

Okay, I'll get the mains back off.

Gus Grissom

Are you sure you didn't bump the converter to the OFF position?

John Young

That switch way up there?

Gus Grissom

No, you couldn't, could you?

John Young

Want to try it back on the primary and see what happens?

Gus Grissom

That's how we lost it. Yes.

Gus Grissom

Okay. That did it.

John Young

How's that circuit breaker set-up up there?

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Roger. How's your status on that thruster?

Gus Grissom

It's still GO. We're still drifting a little bit, Gordo. It's not bad. I can hold it with Pulse with no problem. But we did lose our primary dc-dc converter.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Roger. Lost your primary dc-dc.

Gus Grissom

That must not have been the scanner problem though.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Have you tried your circuit breaker, Gus, on that?

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Molly Brown, have you tried your circuit breaker to cut off that one erratic thruster.

Gus Grissom

I don't know which one it is. Let's see—yaw left—

John Young

Yaw left. It would be either OAMS No. 7 or 8.

Gus Grissom

We're not getting any roll with it.

John Young

It really is pitching up, isn't it?

Gus Grissom

Yes, but it's stopping.

Gus Grissom

That stopped it, all right.

John Young

I turned the auto heater back on.

John Young

I should turn that off till the cryo pressure comes down.

Gus Grissom

Flight control loss.

Gus Grissom

Now it's drifting us the other way.

John Young

It's hard to see in here, isn't it?

Gus Grissom

Can't pull it off? Can't you get it off?
