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.

It's very dim. We were doubtful that you could hear it. What's your suit status at the present time? 44:43:21 P We're still suited. We found out that we had to open up the zipper between the legs to get comfort. It was too hot down there and we're now fairly well unzippered but our suits are on. We are waiting for a very quiet moment so I can take my suit off. 44:43:37 CC Okay. We want you to understand completely that we are clearing you to take it off if and when you desire. 44:43:45 P Roger. Understand. 44:43:53 CC Okay. We're going ahead without the oral temp in... 44:43:59 CC ... blood pressure. 44:44:01 P Roger. Blood pressure coming through. 44:44:02 CC Roger. 44:44:05 CC And stand by for the Flight Surgeon.
