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.

Jim, we've been watching your sleep patterns here and we notice that there were several times when you were awake last night and particularly it appears from both your records that there was an awake period at about 37 and 1/2 hours over CSQ last night. Was there some particular activity that had you both awake at that time? 44:49:17 P We don't recall any. I think both of us got a good night's rest last night. Really felt great! 44:49:24 CC Okay.
