· 341 pages · text by OCR

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.

## CONFIDENTIAL

00:12:11	P	Oh, I don't know. About 100 feet.
00:12:16	C	Are you having to put much Delta-V on?
00:12:19	P	What?
00:12:21	C	Are you having to pulse it much?
00:12:22	P	Not too much.
00:12:23	C	Okay. We're down to about 89 percent. You want to take her? You have her?
00:12:24	P	I have her.
00:12:25	C	That's fine.
00:12:26	P	Okay.
00:12:28	C	I can't see ...
00:12:31	P	I hate to lose the horizon.
00:12:32	C	I have the horizon, Jim.
00:12:33	P	Oh, you have?
00:12:34	C	Yes.
00:12:35	P	Okay.
00:12:36	C	Okay. I've got it.
00:12:37	P	Okay.
00:12:44	P	Wish we could get out of that sun.
00:12:45	C	So do I. Are you getting pictures?
00:12:46	P	I hope to tell!
00:12:47	C	Listen, I have to get out the flight plan, though. You got it?
00:12:48	P	Okay, I have it.
00:12:55	C	We need the flight plan, don't we?
