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 24:32:22 CC Did you copy my transmission? 24:32:24 C Negative. Say again, please. 24:32:27 CC We understand your D-5 reticle is GREEN all the time. We are working on the problem. We do not have an answer. 24:32:38 C Thank you. 24:32:40 CC Roger. CARNARVON 24:46:00 CC Gemini VII, Carnarvon. 24:46:02 P Go ahead, Carnarvon. Gemini VII. 24:46:03 CC Roger. We have your T/M solid on the ground. You look good. 24:46:07 CC We would like to get some information on your D-5 reticle as you can give it to us - detailed description. 24:46:14 C Roger. The reticle - when you push the Calibrate button it should turn RED and then if you advance the gain wheel it turns from RED to GREEN and flashes. This one stays GREEN at all times, so we're running the experiment with the gain wheel pulled down. 24:46:31 CC Roger. Copy. 24:46:48 CC I have the flight plan update for you if you're ready to copy. If you're not, we'll give it to you over Hawaii. 24:46:55 C Roger. I'd like to hold off on that; we're all - we don't have any lights on. We're trying to stay dark-adapted for these stars and we want to get set up right away for S-8/D-13 over Texas. 24:47:07 CC Roger. We'll hold off until you get over Hawaii. 24:47:11 C Thank you. ## CONFIDENTIAL
