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 03:50:48 CC Gemini VII, did it look like this came from the nose section? 03:50:54 C No. It looked like it came from behind, and came up and hit right in front of the right window, then bounced off again and I haven't seen it since. 03:51:05 CC Roger. And this was during the burn? 03:51:08 C That's affirmative. 03:51:10 CC Roger. CARNARVON 04:00:29 CC Gemini VII, Carnarvon CAP COM. 04:00:32 P VII. Go ahead. 04:00:33 CC Roger. We'd like to have you turn BIO MED Tape Recorder Number 2 off, please. 04:00:39 P Roger. That's just completed. 04:00:41 CC Roger. 04:00:53 CC That BIO MED Tape Recorder went off at 23 hours, 30 minutes and about 30 seconds - something like that. 04:01:28 CC Gemini VII, Carnarvon CAP COM. Would you give me a readout on your OAMS propellant quantity, please? 04:01:35 C Roger. It reads 67 percent. 04:01:38 CC Roger. Copy 67 percent. 04:01:41 C Now give us a reading on how we stand on that, will you please? 04:01:45 CC Roger. 04:01:51 CC Stand by one. Flight will come up with something. 04:02:04 CC What - do you have ACQ over Hawaii? Acquisition time?
