Spacelog Gemini 3

Very slight. Very slow drift.

Roger.

Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM. I have your radiator temperatures, if you are ready to copy.

Roger.

Roger. your radiator outlet temperature if off-scale high. Your radiator inlet is 74.

Roger. Off-scale high. Going back to BY-PASS on radiator.

Roger. Understand.

Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM. Stand by to start your clock at 20 minutes ground elapsed time. On my mark.

MARK! Did you copy, Molly Brown?

Roger. I copied, and sea urchin eggs activated.

Roger.

Be advised we have received your blood pressure, Molly Brown.

Roger.

Radiator outlet temperature is off-scale high and Greenwich Mean Time is 1445.

Rate Command looks good.

Okay. The control checks are completed.

Do you still read, Canaries?

Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM.

Roger. Control checks are completed and insertion checklist is completed too.

Roger. Understand.

I've been advised from the Cape you might put your prop switch off and recycle a couple of times, and it might stop your leak.

It's not leaking.

Did you copy Molly Brown?

I copied.

Here, Gus, let me get your drogue pin in.

Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM. Do you copy?

Say again.

Roger. Can we have your sea urchin egg time again, please?

Roger. 20 minutes elapsed.

Roger. Understand.

We are over Africa, John.

Yes.

I knew I wouldn't get these pins stowed until we were over Kano.

There's all kinds of junk floating around in here.

Man, I agree!

If you'll give me the camera, I'll take a couple of pictures.

Okay. The waste valve is in NORMAL.

We've got a scanner ignore. Wonder what caused that. Hey, we're pitching over and there's nothing I can do about it.

Scanner ignore is driving you?

Yes.

Oh, I know what it was. My knee was hitting the control stick, wasn't it?

No, I don't think so. That would only be in Pulse anyway.

It's still GO. We're still drifting a little bit, Gordo. It's not bad. I can hold it with Pulse with no problem. But we did lose our primary dc-dc converter.

Roger. Lost your primary dc-dc.

Roger.

Roger.

That must not have been the scanner problem though.

Have you tried your circuit breaker, Gus, on that?

Yes, we have.

Molly Brown, have you tried your circuit breaker to cut off that one erratic thruster.

Negative.

I don't know which one it is. Let's see—yaw left—

Yaw left. It would be either OAMS No. 7 or 8.

We're not getting any roll with it.

It really is pitching up, isn't it?

Yes, but it's stopping.

That stopped it, all right.

Yes.

I turned the auto heater back on.

I should turn that off till the cryo pressure comes down.

Flight control loss.

Now it's drifting us the other way.

It's hard to see in here, isn't it?

Can't pull it off? Can't you get it off?

What time is it now?

32 elapsed.

We're just about over … Africa.

Over where?
