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 101:12:27 CC Very good. 101:12:29 C Hey, Gene, this is Frank. 101:12:32 CC Go ahead, Frank. 101:12:33 C Listen, this request to take the suit off is not a big deal. I'm very comfortable. I've got it unzipped and everything. So don't make out like it's an emergency, will you? 101:12:41 CC Okay. I think we understand it pretty well. 101:12:44 C Doctor Miller was pretty much against doing it now. I didn't want him to think it was an emergency but I thought since we've had the good success with him he might change his mind. But I'm comfortable the way I am. 101:12:55 CC Okay. I think we've got your request. 101:13:01 CC Gemini VII, I've got a node update for you now. 101:13:08 P Roger. Go ahead. 101:13:10 CC Okay. At Time: 107:23:13; Rev 68; 6.8 degrees west; right ascension at 11:37:16. 101:13:28 P Would you give us the longitude again, please? 101:13:30 CC Okay. That's 6.8 degrees west. 101:13:36 P Roger. 6.8 degrees west and also the right ascension. We've missed that. 101:13:40 CC Okay. Right ascension is at 11:37:16. 101:13:48 P Thank you very much, Gene. 101:13:49 CC Okay. Everything seems to be going great down here. It sounds like it's going real fine up there. 101:13:56 P We've found all kinds of room in the space... 101:13:59 CC Where? ## CONFIDENTIAL
