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 115:55:35 C Very well, we will start drinking. 115:55:39 CC Very well, this is Carnarvon ... out. 115:55:41 C I've got the gun out now. 115:55:50 C Carnarvon, Gemini VII. 115:55:52 CC Go ahead, Gemini VII. Carnarvon. 115:55:54 C You probably noticed that our suit temperature's going down now. Our cabin temperature's also going down since we've turned the Cabin Heat exchanger to the ON position. We feel that when in doubt, do nothing. We've done nothing and it seems to be clearing up. 115:56:10 CC Roger, Gemini VII. 115:56:13 C And if we get hot, we'll take Flight's advice and turn on Pump A and turn off Pump B on the primary loop. 115:56:18 CC Roger. 115:56:24 C If we're going to stay one suit on and one suit off, we'd like to stay the way we are until Tom and Wally come up, and Jim'll get back in his suit. I prefer not to switch out and have him get back in. Let's go the way we are if we have to stay with one suit on. 115:56:37 CC Roger. We'll relay this on to Flight. 115:56:40 C Thank you. 115:56:45 C Wonder if we're all going to see you all in the daylight. 115:56:48 CC What say, Gemini VII? 115:56:50 C I wonder if we're going to see you in the daylight. 115:56:52 CC Yes, we should hear, maybe in a couple more days. 115:56:55 CC Flight reported that they wanted to talk to you some more on this suit problem, over the next pass. ## CONFIDENTIAL
