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.

I was tracked exactly on the ... it was very, very easy to spot and we were right on it. 47:13:16 CC What they feel is that it was an error in the ground pointing data, what the ground had themselves. 47:13:21 C Roger. I see. Thank you. 47:13:27 P From up here it looks like they're pretty busy on Pad 19. 47:13:32 CC Roger. Everything is going real good on it. 47:15:12 C Carnarvon, Gemini VII. 47:15:14 CC Roger, Gemini VII. 47:15:16 C Roger. While Jim is purging here, he's been out of his suit for about a revolution now. He's very, very comfortable. I'm able to stay as comfortable as I was.
