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.

92:44:58 C We couldn't get them. It's so bright we have to get the Polaroids and sunglasses out to get it - to look into it. 92:45:06 CC Okay. Well, just keep it in mind and whenever it's convenient get them. Any sunrise or sunset would be all right. 92:45:13 C Roger. We could get them now, as a matter of fact. 92:45:14 CC Roger. How was the temperature in the cabin last night? We noticed you adjusted it up a little better. Does it seem comfortable to both of you? 92:45:27 C Roger. We're comfortable, but I didn't know - we didn't touch the temperature. 92:45:32 CC You did not touch it for the sleep period last night? 92:45:36 C Negative. 92:45:38 CC And you were both comfortable last night? 92:45:40 C Roger. It seems like late in the afternoon, just before we go to bed it gets real hot, and then after we settle down in here it cools off, and you're cold in the morning. Hot at night when you go to bed, and cold when you wake up. 92:45:52 CC Roger. I was just wondering if Jim wouldn't like to try out that orbital flight suit, just to get another data point working toward the ultimate flight suit here. 92:46:04 P We will. 92:46:05 CC Roger. 92:46:06 P ... data point ... 92:46:09 CC Say again, Jim. 92:46:13 P I'll try out Rannawski's special suit for us. 92:46:16 CC Roger. We'll be very interested in your comments on it. ## CONFIDENTIAL
