· 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.

101:54:42	C	Thank you.
101:54:43	CC	Roger.
101:54:44	C	We appreciate all the help, really. Feel a lot better sleeping if you know somebody is down there keeping check on these things.
101:54:52	CC	Okay. Very good.
101:55:15	CC	Okay. A little bit more data here. Your OAMS propellant remaining - we're ahead of the flight plan. And your numbers agree real well with ours, and your orbit at this time is 127.4 by 170.5.
101:55:34	C	Roger. Thank you.
101:56:00	CC	You got any data on your M-7 log for me?
101:56:05	C	No. What I gave you just - had them - do you want Columns 6 and 7 added up today?
101:56:11	CC	If you don't mind, I'll take that from you.
101:56:14	C	Stand by.
101:56:25	C	Okay. Column 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 on the Command Pilot is 2.
101:56:31	CC	Roger.
101:56:35	CC	I've got that.
101:56:43	C	Column 5 on the Command Pilot is 9.
101:56:46	CC	Say again the number.
101:56:47	C	Niner.
101:56:48	CC	Roger.
101:56:52	C	On the Pilot, Column 6 is 0.
101:56:56	CC	Roger.
