Apollo One: Where Was the Power Switch Located?
No. Roger Chaffee switched over to internal power DURING the fire.
(See the timeline.) At 12.4 and 13.6 he switched the entry bats over to the main bats. According to NASA, this was done to keep the floodlights on; that explanation is absurd. Roger did it to keep power to the suit compressor so they could BREATHE in the event GSE power was lost. LaDonna |

LaDonna Hmmm. Thanks, I remember reading that now. I didn't make the necessary connection at the time, possibly because of the "Entry Batt" terminology. I don't think I'm buying into NASA's speculation for Roger's motive yet, because I know why *I* might have instinctively switched power sources in that emergency situation (after considering crew comments related to anomalous events and earlier test results of that day).

Otherwise, this is *supposition* on your part. |

John Maxson Well, don't leave us in suspense: Why would YOU have switched power sources? :-) LaDonna |

Were there flames over his head by then? John Maxson |

At 12.4 is when the surge tank pressure dropped dramatically, indicating the fire was now consuming the cabin oxygen. It was originally contained in the lower equipment bay for eight seconds, so there was time for the crew to do what they needed to do. As for the telemetry, fortunately I also have the Post-Fire Switch Configuration List, and it does confirm the batteries were switched over. LaDonna |
