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 53:58:34 CC Roger, Gemini VII. Surgeon out. 53:58:43 CC VII, like to have a complete - just a short report on your flight plan. Just want to know if you have completed all scheduled flight plan items in the last 24 hours? 53:58:57 C Roger. We have a flight plan update, CSQ. We have completed them all, except one pass of S-5 over Mexico. There were clouds. D-4/D-7 over Mexico: the IR return from the water and the land was degraded because of cloud cover, but we completed it. 53:59:17 CC Roger. 53:59:18 C Other than that we're all up-to-date. 53:59:22 CC Roger. Flight's real happy with the report. 53:59:26 C Roger. ## ROSE KNOT VICTOR 54:27:10 CC Gemini VII, RKV CAP COM. We have nothing for you this pass. We're standing by. All systems are GO. 54:27:54 P RKV, how do you read Gemini VII? 54:27:56 CC Read you loud and clear, Gemini VII. 54:27:58 P Okay. We're just doing a little housekeeping now. 54:28:00 CC Roger. 55:00:04 C We're getting in preparation for a urine dump. Lovell will be dumping first. ## COASTAL SENTRY QUEBEC 55:11:49 CC Gemini VII, CSQ CAP COM. 55:11:53 P Go ahead, CSQ. Gemini VII. ## CONFIDENTIAL
