· 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.

77:33:48 C Go ahead, CSQ. Gemini VII.

77:33:51 CC Roger. We have you GO on the ground. We're standing by for your flight plan report.

77:33:56 C Roger. Today we've used one magazine of S0217 standard Hasselblad; 14 frames on the second magazine. We've shot six frames of color-shifted IR, five frames of Hasselblad high-speed black and white. One frame Hasselblad high-contrast, low-speed black and white. We've used two magazines of 16mm movie film and two tape recorder packages. I gave our scores on S-8/D-13 before, but here they are again. Borman missed 7, Lovell missed 11 this morning.

77:34:32 CC Repeat that last again, Gemini VII.

77:34:36 C Roger. Borman - 7, Lovell - 11 for S-8/D-13 visi sion test this morning.

77:34:41 CC Roger. Copied.

77:34:44 C My OAMS fuel now reads 57 percent.

77:34:49 CC Roger.

77:35:14 C Anything else, CSQ?

77:35:16 CC Negative. Gemini VII, we got it.

77:35:19 C Okay. Thank you.

77:36:16 P CSQ, Gemini VII.

77:36:19 CC Go ahead, Gemini VII.

77:36:20 P I inadvertently knocked off the electronic circuit breaker - Time Recorder circuit breaker again. Would you give me a time hack, please?

77:36:27 CC Roger. GET time hack 77:37 on my Mark. 20 seconds to Mark.

77:36:55 CC 5,4,3,2,1.
