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.

Can you confirm that either way? 91:27:50 C Stand by. 91:27:56 C That's negative. We have not had the Bus Arm switch on. It's been in place the whole time. 91:28:03 CC Roger, Gemini VII. 91:28:55 CC Gemini, Houston. 91:29:10 CC Gemini, Houston. 91:29:12 C Go ahead, Houston. 91:29:15 CC We'd like to try that one one more time, Frank. We feel that the Bus Arm switch would have been in the EXPERIMENT position at times for some of your D-4 work and we wonder if you are certain that it was not on at the time crossfeed was used. 91:29:45 P Hello Houston, this is VII. ## CONFIDENTIAL
