· 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.

At 38 plus 00: D-4/D-7 going outside the booster field of view for 1/2 minute; D-4/D-7: at 38 plus 30, going back on booster; at 42:40, correction - 43:00 - D-4/D-7: booster alinement is in line with the moon at this time, and I think that D-4/D-7 might be compromised by picking up ... The moon now, is about 2 degrees right of the booster and 43:20 for D-4/D-7.
