This is Volume I of III of the Gemini VII voice communications transcript, covering pages 1 to 337 and marked Confidential. It records air-to-ground, ground-to-air and on-board exchanges beginning at lift-off. Early passages cover staging, orbit insertion and stationkeeping with the booster, which the crew reports is venting heavily, and they photograph it. Later passages near 116 hours hold the crew's detailed descriptions of airglow, stars and a sunrise seen from orbit.

The motor was running for Number 4. It appears here that we reported that the reticle was RED for Number 6. We'll check that. We went back and checked it again and it was GREEN. 31:20:50 CC Roger. 31:20:51 P Number 9 was the calibrate of the data ... day. The reticle was RED. 31:21:01 CC Roger. Copy.
