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.

Over. 101:09:41 P Hello Houston, Gemini VII. Go ahead. 101:09:43 CC Hello Gemini VII. Read you loud and clear. First off I would like to advise you that we're working on that suit request; we don't yet have an answer. As soon as we get it, we'll shoot it up. I might say we're working quite hard on it at the time. ## CONFIDENTIAL
