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.

It isn't - have you got your temp probe in? 114:59:15 C Not yet. 114:59:16 CC Okay. 114:59:21 CC Frank, have you eaten yet, this morning? 114:59:25 C Roger. 114:59:27 CC Roger. 114:59:33 C Just a little bit warmer up here than we would like to see it, Elliot, and it seems to be getting hotter. 114:59:39 CC Roger. 114:59:43 CC Okay. We observe your temp coming up now on the temperature. 114:59:49 C Fine. 114:59:56 CC Okay. Stand by for the Surgeon, for his discussion. 115:00:02 CC Frank, while the temperature probe is coming up on Jim, could I go ahead and ask you - let's check on this meal. You had Meal 15A - you had 15A, apparently last night, I assume. Could you give me the time on that, and then for breakfast this morning, could we get your food report? 115:00:20 C 15A. 115:00:24 CC Roger. 15A. 115:00:27 C Flight, Jim didn't eat the gingerbread and I only ate two of the gingerbread.
