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 Denebola and Spica, and Arcturus will rise at 69:43 correction - 69:39:41. You should aline 4.9 degrees right of Arcturus. Do you copy? 68:45:53 P Roger. Our alinement will be 4.9 degrees right of Arcturus, which should be rising at 69:39:41, and the general position between Denebola and Spica will be SEF. 68:46:05 CC That's correct. Okay. We'll continue with the flight plan update now, if you're ready. 68:46:29 CC Gemini VII, do you still copy? 68:46:36 P Roger. 68:46:41 P Houston, this is VII. Go ahead. 68:46:42 CC Okay. MSC-4: 73:45:35; Sequence 09; Mode 01; pitch 30 degrees down, yaw 10 degrees right - correction - 10 degrees left. This may be scrubbed due to equipment problems. We'll let you know later. D-4/D-7: 74:00:00; Sequences 415 and 416; Mode 02; pitch 90 degrees down. Do you copy? 68:47:39 P Roger. 68:47:42 CC Okay. That's the end of the flight plan update. We'll be giving you a systems review status of all your systems and quantities and so forth - if you want to have your systems book out - either on the next pass or the following one, depending on how long the crew status report takes on the next pass. 68:48:02 P Okay. Understand that. 68:48:07 CC You can turn your ECS Quantity Read off. 68:48:11 P Read switch is off at this time. 68:48:16 CC We have some questions on the D-9 experiment. Probably won't have time to finish them here. Let me comment one thing. After you leave our station here you might tune in your HF. We've got some special music for you. Okay. On the D-9, we're wondering about the green filter comments that you made on the airglow measurements. Does the filter dim the airglow substantially? CONFIDENTIAL
