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.

## CONFIDENTIAL 101:09:58 P Thank you very much. 101:09:59 CC And we have a couple of questions Jim, if you'd like to answer them. We'd like - this concerns the results of that Photometer Test. Were you able to calibrate? 101:10:12 P We haven't had a chance to run it yet. We plan to do that the very next today. If you could hold off a little bit we would appreciate it. 101:10:19 CC Okay. Fine. I understand you haven't done it yet. Question concerning the film report. Was that used during the last 24 hours or is that the total of the flight? 101:10:30 P That was the last 24-hour usage. 101:10:33 CC Okay. Fine. And I'd like to update you on a fuel purge for after you're awake. 101:10:39 P Understand an update on fuel purge. Okay. 101:10:41 CC Okay. It'll be on Rev 71 at Canaries, at Time 112:05 elapsed time. 101:10:57 P Understand. The next fuel cell purge will be at 111, Rev 71, Canary 112:05. Is that correct? 101:11:10 CC 112:05. That's affirm. 101:11:25 CC Gemini VII, this is Houston Surgeon. Jim, I would like to pass one more item about this water thing which would help us a great deal to pin down your intakes here. If you give us - give a last report on the water- your water intake at the last station contact before you go to sleep, which tonight will be Hawaii. If you'd just give them the total water ounces of water that each of you have had at that time. And can you also then give us a total tomorrow morning from Column 6 - Columns 5 and 6 on your M-7 log? Just totals. 101:12:14 P Roger. Check at Hawaii on water input totals tonight and tomorrow we'll give you Columns 5 and 6 of the M-7. Hope you much ## CONFIDENTIAL
