Gemini VII Air-to-Ground Transcript Volume I: 5011500_VolumeI

· 341 pages · text by GLM-OCR

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.

  • p. 148 …Clouds are about as represented, only white doesn't show in the photograph and the grays…
  • p. 332 …a little bit later of a greenish gray color. Would you agree, Frank? 116:03:11…

Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.
