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.

115:06:01 CC Roger. Copy. 6, 7 hours. 115:06:04 C Sure would like to have some sort of petroleum jelly or Vicks to put in your nose up here. 115:06:11 CC Is it getting pretty dry, Frank? 115:06:19 C Houston, do you read? 115:06:21 CC Roger. Gemini VII. I read. Frank, you could use some of that ointment that you have there, that cream. You could use some of that for your nose. I suggest that you do that if you are getting dry. 115:06:42 CC Gemini VII, did you copy? 115:06:49 CC Gemini VII, do you read? 115:06:55 P Houston, Gemini VII. 115:06:59 CC Did you read the transmission about going ahead and using the ointment that is available there, Jim? I would suggest you use that for your nose. 115:07:09 P Roger, understand that. And also it looked like the cuff did slip down. I could see the microphone just half way out of the cuff. Do you want me to try? 115:07:20 CC Jim, I think we ought to get this suit discussion here. Let's hold this one and we'll get a recheck on your pressure and exercise later. Let's let them go on to the suit discussion now and make sure that your cuff is all right and we'll check you later. All right? 115:07:33 P Roger. 115:07:35 CC Gemini VII. We are working on that suit situation. We would like to ask for a report on the orbital flight suit at this time. 115:07:48 P Roger. I put on the orbital flight suit last night to wear it to go to bed but it's just too hot, so I removed it about 15 minutes later and stowed it. I'm very comfortable just the way I am.
