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 66:21:47 CC Very good. 66:22:05 CC How was your suit condition, Gemini VII, for the Pilot - Command Pilot? 66:22:11 C I've got the suit off. All I'm using is the ventilation garment. I've got it completely unzipped and I'm halfway out of it, but it's fairly comfortable that way. 66:22:20 C Roger. Copy. 66:22:58 C We've turned off MSC's 2 and 3 at 66, and I guess we don't have anything else now but eat and an S-8/D-13, Carnarvon. 66:23:06 CC Roger. 66:23:09 C One thing we tried last night was to put the EEG leads back on my head and this was impossible to do; so we no longer have the leads on. I cut the harness. All four of them came off and we don't have the proper size "stickem" to put them back on my head. 66:23:27 CC Roger. Copy. 66:23:30 C We've got - - 66:24:22 CC Gemini VII, Carnarvon. 66:24:24 C Go ahead. 66:24:26 CC They have a complete flight plan update for you, which will be given to you over the States. 66:24:34 C Very well. 66:24:54 C Carnarvon, Gemini VII, Purge complete. Crossover switch off. 66:25:00 CC Roger, VII. Could you place the Panel Quantity switch to the ECS O₂ position, please? 66:25:05 C There she is. 66:25:14 C I didn't have to use those heaters all night.
