Canary CapCom: Roger. Understand that you get a continuous yaw left.
00 18 57
Gus Grissom: Very slight. Very slow drift.
00 18 59
Canary CapCom: Roger.
00 19 13
Canary CapCom: Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM. I have your radiator temperatures, if you are ready to copy.
00 19 19
Gus Grissom: Roger.
00 19 20
Canary CapCom: Roger. your radiator outlet temperature if off-scale high. Your radiator inlet is 74.
00 19 30
Gus Grissom: Roger. Off-scale high. Going back to BY-PASS on radiator.
00 19 33
Canary CapCom: Roger. Understand.
00 19 47
Canary CapCom: Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM. Stand by to start your clock at 20 minutes ground elapsed time. On my mark.
00 20 00
Canary CapCom: MARK! Did you copy, Molly Brown?
00 20 04
Gus Grissom: Roger. I copied, and sea urchin eggs activated.
00 20 08
Canary CapCom: Roger.
00 20 12
Canary CapCom: Be advised we have received your blood pressure, Molly Brown.
00 20 16
Gus Grissom: Roger.
00 20 18
Gus Grissom: Radiator outlet temperature is off-scale high and Greenwich Mean Time is 1445.
00 20 34
Gus Grissom: Rate Command looks good.
00 20 48
Gus Grissom: Okay. The control checks are completed.
00 20 55
Gus Grissom: Do you still read, Canaries?
00 20 58
Canary CapCom: Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM.
00 21 00
Gus Grissom: Roger. Control checks are completed and insertion checklist is completed too.
00 21 04
Canary CapCom: Roger. Understand.
00 21 07
Canary CapCom: 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.
00 21 17
John Young: It's not leaking.
00 21 18
Canary CapCom: Did you copy Molly Brown?
00 21 20
Gus Grissom: I copied.
00 21 25
John Young: Here, Gus, let me get your drogue pin in.
00 21 38
Canary CapCom: Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM. Do you copy?
00 21 41
Gus Grissom: Say again.
00 21 43
Canary CapCom: Roger. Can we have your sea urchin egg time again, please?
00 21 46
Gus Grissom: Roger. 20 minutes elapsed.
00 21 48
Canary CapCom: Roger. Understand.
00 21 53
Gus Grissom: We are over Africa, John.
00 21 54
John Young: Yes.
00 21 59
John Young: I knew I wouldn't get these pins stowed until we were over Kano.
00 22 13
Gus Grissom: There's all kinds of junk floating around in here.
00 22 15
John Young: Man, I agree!
00 22 37
Gus Grissom: If you'll give me the camera, I'll take a couple of pictures.
00 22 42
John Young: Okay. The waste valve is in NORMAL.
00 22 56
Gus Grissom: We've got a scanner ignore. Wonder what caused that. Hey, we're pitching over and there's nothing I can do about it.
00 23 14
John Young: Scanner ignore is driving you?
00 23 17
Gus Grissom: Yes.
00 23 21
John Young: Oh, I know what it was. My knee was hitting the control stick, wasn't it?
00 23 24
Gus Grissom: No, I don't think so. That would only be in Pulse anyway.
00 23 35
John Young: We've got to get this pressure back up.
00 23 41
Gus Grissom: Do we have a leak?
00 23 59
John Young: It's this event they were talking about.
00 24 03
Gus Grissom: Let's see.
00 24 04
John Young: Key moment Problems with the primary DC-DC converter: Look at the cabin pressure!

00 24 06
Gus Grissom: What?
00 24 07
John Young: We've lost the —.
00 24 09
Gus Grissom: Lost what? What have we lost?
00 24 14
John Young: Lost a primary converter.
00 24 17
Gus Grissom: Really?
00 24 18
John Young: Yes.
00 24 23
John Young: I'll get that heater off.
00 24 39
John Young: Okay, I'll get the mains back off.
00 24 44
Gus Grissom: Are you sure you didn't bump the converter to the OFF position?
00 24 47
John Young: That switch way up there?
00 24 48
Gus Grissom: No, you couldn't, could you?
00 24 49
John Young: No.
00 24 51
John Young: Want to try it back on the primary and see what happens?
00 24 55
Gus Grissom: That's how we lost it. Yes.
00 24 58
John Young: See?
00 24 59
Gus Grissom: Yes.
00 25 00
John Young: Okay.
00 25 03
Gus Grissom: Okay. That did it.
00 25 07
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.
00 25 10
John Young: How's that circuit breaker set-up up there?
00 25 20
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.
Gus Grissom: …
00 25 22
John Young: Yep.
00 25 40
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.
00 25 43
Gus Grissom: Cape CAP COM, Molly Brown here.
00 25 46
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger. How's your status on that thruster?
00 25 50
Gus Grissom: 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.
00 26 02
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger. Lost your primary dc-dc.
00 26 05
Gus Grissom: Roger.
00 26 07
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger.
00 26 14
Gus Grissom: That must not have been the scanner problem though.
00 26 17
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Have you tried your circuit breaker, Gus, on that?
00 26 22
Gus Grissom: Yes, we have.
00 26 29
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, have you tried your circuit breaker to cut off that one erratic thruster.
00 26 33
Gus Grissom: Negative.
00 26 36
Gus Grissom: I don't know which one it is. Let's see—yaw left—
00 26 42
John Young: Yaw left. It would be either OAMS No. 7 or 8.
00 26 50
Gus Grissom: We're not getting any roll with it.
00 26 52
John Young: It really is pitching up, isn't it?
00 26 53
Gus Grissom: Yes, but it's stopping.
00 27 02
Gus Grissom: That stopped it, all right.
00 27 04
John Young: Yes.

00 27 14
John Young: I turned the auto heater back on.
00 27 20
John Young: I should turn that off till the cryo pressure comes down.
00 27 24
Gus Grissom: Flight control loss.
00 28 42
Gus Grissom: Now it's drifting us the other way.
00 30 04
John Young: It's hard to see in here, isn't it?
00 30 44
Gus Grissom: Can't pull it off? Can't you get it off?
00 32 33
John Young: What time is it now?
00 32 47
Gus Grissom: 32 elapsed.
00 33 14
Gus Grissom: We're just about over … Africa.
00 33 17
John Young: Over where?
