Gemini VII Air-to-Ground Transcript Volume I: 5011500_VolumeI

· 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.

00:49:51	C	Roger.
00:49:55	P	VII, fuel cell ...
00:49:56	C	Heater is off. It's reading 700.
00:50:04	CC	Would you say again, please?
00:50:05	C	Heater on, Carnarvon.
00:50:11	CC	That's the fuel cell O₂?
00:50:17	CC	Gemini VII, Carnarvon CAP COM. Fuel cell O₂ tank pressure, once it reads 200, turn your heater to the OFF position.
00:50:28	C	Roger. It's off.
00:50:29	CC	Roger. Thank you.
00:50:31	C	And we still have the Delta-P light. Do you have any instructions on that?
00:50:34	CC	Negative. Not at this time.
00:50:37	C	Okay.
00:50:42	CC	Okay, we have you GO on the radiator. Would you turn your evaporator to NORMAL.
00:50:47	C	Roger.
00:50:50	P	Evaporator is NORMAL.
00:50:52	CC	Roger.
00:51:02	CC	Okay, Gemini VII, we have you GO for 17-1. We're going to update your TR at this time.
00:51:11	C	Say again, please.
00:51:13	CC	Roger. You are GO for 17-1.
00:51:18	C	Thank you. GO for 17-1.
