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 46:19:37 CC Roger. Just for your information, I’ve contacted both Sue and Marilyn last night and this morning. All families are doing fine and all the kids are back in school. Sue said the boys have promised to try to buckle down to their school work and Marilyn's particular message was that your mother's doing real fine, Jim. She talked to her on the phone. 46:20:07 P Fine! Great! I feel kind of naked here without my suit on. 46:20:12 CC Temporarily embarrassed, right? I assume it's still comfortable. 46:20:20 P Roger. 46:20:21 C Elliot, this is VII here. We're tracking in on the Cape. Let's have our radar test. 46:20:26 CC Roger. HF should be available again to you anytime you want to tune it back in. 46:20:40 C Roger. ... can we turn the computer off? 46:20:43 CC Stand by. We want to leave the computer on a few more minutes, VII. 46:20:51 C Okay. 46:21:41 C Okay. We passed over the Cape. Had a real good track. It was very easy to acquire and very easy to stay on. 46:21:47 CC Okay, VII. Have a report for you. Your D-4/D-7 data are coming in very good. We have been very pleased with the results on it so far. 46:22:00 C Thank you. 46:22:03 CC And we're standing by for your GO/NO-GO information. 46:22:05 C You're going to get it right now. 46:22:07 CC Okay. 46:22:09 C We took a little longer to get the suit off than we anticipated. ## CONFIDENTIAL
