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 25:31:37 CC Roger. We'll give it another try tomorrow then, if we get a chance. 25:31:41 C Right. 25:31:43 CC I have some modifications in flight plan update when you're ready to copy. 25:31:55 C Stand by a second. 25:32:25 P Ready to copy. 25:32:27 CC Roger. We're deleting several items on that flight plan we just gave you and we're adding a new item. Okay. The ones we are deleting are: MSC-12 at 27:00:39; D-4/D-7 at 27:00:39; all three sequences on that. The D-4/D-7 at 27 plus 14 plus 00, and the D-5 at 27 plus 15 plus 00. Did you copy all that? The O1 Sequence on that. Did you copy all those? 25:33:16 P Roger. I have all the ones you deleted. 25:33:21 CC Roger. And the reason for deletion is the instrument malfunction which you reported. The thing we are adding is S-8/D-13 at 27:03:54; Sequence 02; pitch 30 down, yaw 18 left. 25:34:09 P Houston, Gemini VII. You were cut out for part of the transmission. Say again the time and the pitch angle, please. 25:34:19 CC Roger. The time was 27:03:54; pitch was 30 down - 30 down, do you copy? 25:34:32 P Roger. Adding S-8/D-13 and deleting D-4/D-7 and MSC-12. I have it. 25:34:40 CC Roger. And the D-5, deleting D-5. 25:34:45 P Roger. 25:35:15 CC Gemini VII, we have a question on the status of cabin lights at the time you were doing the D-5 experiment. 25:35:26 P The cabin lights were out except for the Fuel Cell Delta-P light, which is loud and clear.
