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.

How do you read through Ascension? 03:26:52 C Houston, this is VII. How do you read? 03:26:55 CC Roger. Read you loud and clear. Based on the results during the purge, we feel that the Delta-P light may very possibly be erroneous; at any rate, we do not see a problem of a short-time nature. We will continue to observe it. We are not very concerned about it at this point and we'd like you to feel the same way. 03:27:21 C This is VII and I thank you for your information that the light is not dangerous. 03:27:25 CC Roger. 03:32:17 CC Gemini VII, Houston CAP COM. 03:32:21 C This is Gemini VII. 03:32:24 CC Roger. I'd like to advise you Spica is not a perfect pointing command. Are you aware of that? 03:32:39 CC Gemini VII, do you read? 03:32:40 C Roger, we read. Spica is a little bit to our right. Is that not correct? 03:32:45 CC The pointing command to Spica would be 8 degrees yaw right and 12 degrees pitch up, so for your purposes you would want to go left and down. 03:33:04 C Roger. 03:33:05 CC Roger. ## CONFIDENTIAL
