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 22:23:10 C Yes, I think we're both fairly comfortable. It's a little warmer than I thought it would be, based on Pete and Gordo's experience. We're running FULL COLD and we're just comfortable. 22:23:22 CC FULL COLD and just comfortable. Okay. How about the M-1 noise? Do we understand that you had the helmets on during sleep last night? Can you hear any noise from the M-1 and is it functioning all right at the present time? 22:23:36 C We had our helmets on but not our hoods, of course, and you can hear the M-1 and it makes noise, and it's functioning. 22:23:46 CC I read that you can hear the M-1 and it does make noise. Is that affirm? 22:23:55 C Yes, that's one of the reasons that sleep is light at times. But we are getting used to it now, ... 22:23:59 CC Okay. We better check that again tonight. And we may want to turn that off then, so we can be sure that we get enough rest here tonight. Your rates and things here look very fine, Frank. You're both leveling out very well. There haven't been any abnormalities that we have been able to see at all, and we have a report from both your families. They asked us to get the word to you that they're all okay. Sue's on her way back from the Cape and will arrive here sometime about 2:30 this afternoon. And said to tell you that everybody is okay, and Marilyn said the same, Jim. 22:24:35 C ... will you? 22:24:39 CC They haven't yet. Plane today. 22:24:44 C That's what I mean. Let us know this afternoon, not evening. 22:24:46 CC Roger. 22:24:59 CC Gemini VII, this is Houston Surgeon. Do you read? 22:25:04 C Loud and clear, Chuck.
