· 341 pages · text by 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.

KANO

00:22:54	CC	Gemini VII, Houston. Remoting through Kano. How do you read?
00:22:55	C	I wonder about that Delta-P light.
00:22:58	C	Read you loud and clear, Houston. How do you read us?
00:23:00	CC	Roger. Loud and clear. We're standing by for your burn.
00:23:03	C	Roger. We completed the burn early here. We've already separated and we're performing D-4/D-7.
00:23:09	CC	Roger, Gemini VII.
00:23:12	C	And we still have a Fuel Cell Delta-P light.
00:23:14	CC	Roger. Still have the Fuel Cell Delta-P light.
00:23:17	C	Right.
00:23:19	CC	Is the oxygen pressure coming up at all yet?
00:23:22	C	Negative. It's still going down. It's 100 pounds now.
00:23:26	CC	Roger.
00:23:31	C	Okay, Jim. Everything under control?
00:23:33	CC	Gemini VII, Houston. Would you give us the time of your burn?
00:23:36	P	Everything looks good. Let me see.
00:23:38	C	Roger. At the time of the burn we had 22:17.
00:23:42	CC	23:07?
00:23:45	C	22:17.
00:23:47	CC	Right.
