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 is going to take his suit off now. 45:02:02 CC Okay. 45:02:05 CC Keep us informed as much as possible on your status and his status. 45:03:44 C ... 45:03:57 C Jim is trying to remove his suit now, at 45:03. ## CONFIDENTIAL
