00 41 36
Gus Grissom: About another minute.
00 41 39
John Young: Going back to No. 1 on the UHF.
00 41 43
John Young: Going back to No. 1 on the UHF at elapsed time of 42.
00 42 00
Gus Grissom: There's no horizon out there at all.
00 42 27
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, Molly Brown, CSQ CAP COM.
00 42 31
Gus Grissom: CSQ, this is Molly Brown.
00 42 34
CSQ CapCom: Roger. how is your control system working?
00 42 38
Gus Grissom: Well, the control system is working fine. It's just that I have a very slight yaw to the left.
00 42 47
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, I copy you very weak. Would you say again?
00 42 51
Gus Grissom: All the control system is working fine. We just have a very slight drift to the left.
00 42 58
CSQ CapCom: Roger. Understand. Would you confirm that you are on secondary dc-to-dc converter?
00 43 11
Gus Grissom: Affirmative.
00 43 15
CSQ CapCom: Are you on secondary ACME yaw logic?
00 43 20
Gus Grissom: Should we try that?
00 43 25
John Young: Yes.
00 43 32
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ CAP COM. Are you in the FLOW position on the radiator?
00 43 40
Gus Grissom: Radiator is in FLOW position. We're trying secondary ACME yaw logic now.
00 43 46
CSQ CapCom: Roger.
00 44 08
John Young: I don't know where I'm going to put this.
00 44 13
Gus Grissom: Does it have urine in it?
00 44 14
John Young: No, there isn't anything in it. it's air in it. I'm supposed to fit it into the aft food box.
00 44 22
Gus Grissom: Puncture it if it's just air.
00 44 24
John Young: Well, that's a thought.
00 44 47
Gus Grissom: CSQ, Molly Brown.
00 44 54
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ CAP COM.
00 44 58
Gus Grissom: Roger. Unable to send a blood pressure. The bulb won't fit in the suit hole anymore.
00 45 05
CSQ CapCom: Roger. Cape recommends that you place the driver switch to SECONDARY.
00 45 13
Gus Grissom: Roger.
00 45 18
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ CAP COM.
00 45 23
Gus Grissom: Go ahead CSQ.
00 45 24
CSQ CapCom: Your inlet temp: 76°. Your outlet temp: 42°.
00 45 32
Gus Grissom: Roger.
00 45 40
John Young: We'll stay in FLOW.
00 45 54
Gus Grissom: That secondary driver may have stopped the drift.
00 46 12
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ.
00 46 14
Gus Grissom: Go ahead.
00 46 15
CSQ CapCom: We have not received a blood pressure or an oral temp.
00 46 19
Gus Grissom: Roger. I told you the blood pressure bulb won't fit in the hole anymore. I think the “O” Ring is jammed, or something.
00 46 29
CSQ CapCom: Roger. We're standing by for respirator maneuver.
00 46 38
Gus Grissom: Okay. Here it comes.
00 46 52
Gus Grissom: Okay. How about this? No. 2 audio in UHF and T/M CALIBRATE —
00 46 55
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ. Stand by for a GMT time hack.
00 47 00
Gus Grissom: Roger.
00 47 01
CSQ CapCom: On my mark GMT will be 15 11 10.

CSQ CapCom: MARK!
00 47 14
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ.
00 47 15
Gus Grissom: Roger your mark. My watch is 10 seconds fast.
00 47 17
CSQ CapCom: Roger.
00 47 51
Gus Grissom: Have you received oral temp yet?
00 47 54
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ.
00 47 59
Gus Grissom: Go ahead CSQ.
00 48 01
CSQ CapCom: We copied your respiratory maneuver, and we have your oral temp. All systems appear GO from the ground.
00 50 27
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Molly Brown, Molly Brown, Carnarvon CAP COM. How do you read?
00 50 31
Gus Grissom: Loud and clear. How me?
00 50 33
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Roger. Read you the same. Could you give us your status please? And the cape would like to know if any of the remedies helped your yaw problem.
00 50 43
Gus Grissom: No. None of the remedies helped and we are GO.
00 50 46
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay. You have a GO from down here for the second orbit, and, if you'll stand by, I'll send you a 2-1 T_R and a Gemini load.
00 50 58
Gus Grissom: Roger.
00 51 00
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Stand by for T_R.
00 51 03
Gus Grissom: You ready?
00 51 04
John Young: Yes.
00 51 12
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay, Molly Brown. We got your Gemini load. We could not get T_R in. We got a spacecraft reject on T_R, and it did go in at this time. I'd like to give you a hack on T_R at 39:30, in about 10 seconds.
00 51 29
Gus Grissom: You're going to punch it, aren't you?
00 51 30
John Young: Yes.
00 51 52
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Molly Brown, stand by on my mark.
00 51 53
Pete Conrad (CapCom): MARK! 39:30 is your T_R. Your T_R clock is synched with all on the ground, and your spacecraft elapsed time is synched.
00 52 05
John Young: Okay. We have computer time of 39:28. That's close enough.
00 52 07
Gus Grissom: Roger, and I believe I see a light from Perth.
00 52 11
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Roger. I understand you see light from Perth. We'll have a radiator status for you in a minute, and anytime you can give your GMT for your experiment, I'd appreciate it.
00 52 21
John Young: Roger. The GMT of that Blood Experiment —
00 52 23
Gus Grissom: The elapsed time of the Blood Experiment was 50 minutes and 18 seconds. That was elapsed time.
00 52 31
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Roger. 50 minutes and 18 seconds. Your radiator—in is 73, your rad-out is 38. You're looking pretty good.
00 52 38
Gus Grissom: Roger.
00 52 40
Pete Conrad (CapCom): And if John is ready to copy any of this maneuver load, I have it for you.
00 52 44
John Young: All set.

00 52 45
Gus Grissom: He's ready to copy.
00 52 47
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay. GMTB 15 43 23. ΔV of 139. Duration of burn—2 minutes 39 seconds. Your GMTRC 15 55 24. Roll left 55. GMTRB 16 05 28. Roll right 65. GMT 400 K 15 58 23. Your maneuver load: 6344257, 0444775, 0533348, 664903.3, 676628.4, 082244.4, 09120.50, 10031.38, 11302.00.
00 54 28
John Young: Roger. Copied your parameters. Over.
00 54 32
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Molly Brown, Carnarvon here. You can go secondary coolant loop OFF, and you can go evaporator to NORMAL.
00 54 40
Gus Grissom: Roger. Secondary coolant loop OFF and evaporator to NORMAL.
00 55 22
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Molly Brown, Carnarvon CAP COM.
00 55 24
Gus Grissom: Go ahead.
00 55 26
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Roger. Your Texas burn will be 48 ft/sec for 73 seconds.
00 55 37
Gus Grissom: Okay, 48 ft/sec for 73 seconds.
00 55 40
Pete Conrad (CapCom): That's affirmative. We got your T_R and Gemini load in. Your clocks look good on the ground, and everything is GO here. See you next trip.
00 55 50
Gus Grissom: Roger.
01 00 31
Gus Grissom: Let's get back on RECORD.
01 00 32
John Young: Okay.
01 00 40
Gus Grissom: On the OAMS thruster check, the fire is red in streaks. When the yaw thrusters fire it definitely wipes out the horizon. Can see the horizon all right through the pitch thrusters.
01 01 02
John Young: Oh, that's lovely.
01 01 05
Gus Grissom: Huh?
01 01 06
John Young: I wouldn't believe it if it hadn't happened.
01 01 08
Gus Grissom: What?
01 01 10
John Young: I got my left shoulder harness tangled up in the backboard.
01 01 14
Gus Grissom: Oh, Oh.
01 01 15
John Young: Had to turn around to get it out.
01 01 26
Gus Grissom: Hey, I think our yaw drift has stopped.
01 01 36
John Young: We're down to 2400. That's pretty good.
01 01 39
Gus Grissom: Is that okay?
01 01 40
John Young: Yes, that's fine. It means we haven't used any OAMS fuel.
