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 TEXAS 46:13:53 C We are almost in position to do an S-5, pitching down now so that Jim can do a series of sequences every 10 seconds, shots over Mexico. Time is 46:14:09. Starting the sequence now of S-5, 46:15:38. 46:14:34 CC Gemini VII, Gemini VII, Houston CAP COM. How do you read? 46:14:39 C Loud and clear, Elliot. 46:14:41 CC Roger. We'd like to have you bring your computer up at this time, Frank, in preparation for this 46-1 load. That would be A.C. power to IGS and then computer on in PRELAUNCH. 46:14:54 C Roger. 46:15:06 C Computer's on. 46:15:09 CC Roger. Stand by for a DCS update and you have a GO for 46-1 at this time. 46:15:16 C Roger. 46-1 GO. We inadvertently had our TRS circuit breakers off while Jim was taking the suit out. Will you check out our TRS for us? 46:15:25 CC Roger. 46:15:43 CC We have a proper readout here. You said it should be updated now. Did you get the light, Gemini VII? 46:15:50 C Roger. 46:15:53 CC Are you ready to check out the TR at this time? 46:15:57 C Negative. Not now, Elliot. 46:16:06 CC Understand you could not read it at this time anyway. It's too big. We'll have to wait until a later pass, I guess. 46:16:12 C As long as yours is looking all right to you, that's all I was worried about. ## CONFIDENTIAL
