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 91:06:59 P For the Pilot, the total water to date is 283 ounces - at the same time eating meal D-4, M - Day 4, Meal A. 91:07:16 CC Okay. Could we have your sleep report? 91:07:21 P Roger. Both of us slept, I'd say, approximately 6 to 7 hours last night, probably awaking 2 or 3 times during the night. 91:07:31 CC Roger. 6 to 7 hours and awake 2 or 3 times. We can see those wake times very easily on your records down here, Jim. And it appears that at about - over CSQ, at about 83 hours and almost 84 hours - 83:53 or so - the BIO MED Tape Recorder Number 2 was turned on for a few minutes. Why was that done? 91:07:56 P I don't believe it was done up here, Chuck. We turned off BIO MED 1 some time ago and both of them have been off since that time. 91:08:04 CC Okay. It may have been a spurious signal of some sort. Looks like it was on for about 10 minutes over CSQ, according to the report. We couldn't understand how it came about. Do you think that you're sleeping better now from last night, than you were the last couple of nights? 91:08:25 P I believe our sleep has been pretty consistent since the first night. The first night was pretty poor, as you could probably guess, but we both needed a good sleep the second night and we've been sleeping the same way since that time. 91:08:38 CC Very good. Okay, how about the exercise? Are you getting it in now before the meal times? We saw one scheduled this morning and it appeared you were exercising. 91:08:48 P Roger. Both of us did our exercise before meal time, and one more meal that we had, which we can't find the title of. At 78 hours we had shrimp, potato soup and an orange drink, but the number was not on it. 91:09:07 CC Okay. We can get that off the list, Jim; that's ## CONFIDENTIAL
