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.

Colonel Frank Borman on the pulled muscle of his leg. 101:49:24 C ... my left leg, doing isometric exercises, and I just don't want anybody to think that this is the result of the OGA. I felt it go this morning when I was straining against the safety belt. 101:49:28 P That's about 85 or 90 hours. 101:49:30 C That's right. 101:49:31 P And I will authenticate same.
