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.

Roger. 113:30:08 CC Could I get a readback? Negative, you don't have to do that. 113:30:13 C We got it. 113:30:17 CC Did you sleep well last night? 113:30:20 C Yes, except we were a little warm. 113:30:26 CC CM4 says to get to work. 113:30:29 C I hear him.

The first item is at 115:40:00: a cabin temperature survey. 113:31:49 C Hey, Charlie? 113:31:50 CC Right. Go ahead, Frank. 113:31:56 C Listen, the cabin temperatures haven't varied much at all. Can we cut down the frequency of those to maybe once a day? 113:32:06 C Do it this time, but ask them to cut the frequency then, will you? They haven't varied it 2 degrees over the whole flight. 113:32:10 CC Sure. That'll be fine, Frank.
