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 113:32:20 CC Well, why don't we go ahead with this one and we'll cut out any of the rest of them for today. How's that? 113:32:25 C That's what I'm suggesting. 113:32:26 CC Okay. 113:32:32 CC The next time is 116:29:00: fuel cell purge at Guaymas. D-4/D-7: 116:58:00; Sequence 424; Mode 02. At 118:07:00: you'll have a GO/NO-GO for 90-1 at Texas. MSC-12: 118:12:52; pitch 30 degrees down, yaw 0 degrees; do over west coast of Florida. 118:20:00 is an exercise period. 118:30:00 starts your eat period. At 118:55:00: use horizon scanner to control spacecraft SEF for UHF test over Carnarvon; use the adapter antenna. 113:34:21 C Charlie, you faded on that when I got horizon scanner to control spacecraft. 113:34:29 CC Control spacecraft SEF for UHF test over Carnarvon; use the adapter antenna. At 119:00:00: key UHF continuously until 119:10:00; voice-modulate the UHF until 119:06:00; note, that's the first 6 minutes of a 10-minute key. We realize this is in the middle of an eat period, but it's a particularly good pass for this test over Carnarvon. 113:55:26 CC Gemini VII, Houston. Are you with me? CANARY 113:40:58 CC Gemini VII, Canary CAP COM. Com check. How do you read? 113:41:06 C Loud and clear, Canary. 113:41:07 CC Okay. We have a PLA update for you whenever you're ready to copy. 113:41:13 P Stand by a minute. 113:41:31 P ... update, Canary. ## CONFIDENTIAL
