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.

The markers that they have out there for identifying are as plain as day. 27:07:00 CC Roger. Understand the markers are as plain as day. 27:07:30 CC Gemini VII, Houston CAP COM. Did you ever get a chance to snap a picture of Houston this time? 27:07:36 P I - we're too far north. 27:07:38 CC Roger. 27:07:45 C Gene, we do get to see this strap and stuff that we've got hanging, again - just briefly. It's some light - looks like white, rubbery material. ## CONFIDENTIAL
