John Young

Elapsed time is 1:05. Now, I'm going to get a main batteries check.

John Young

—9½ and 24 on one and 9½ and 24 on two, and 9½ and 24 on three. 9½ and 24 on four. Those mains are good!

John Young

What time is it now, Gus?

Gus Grissom

It's 63 minutes.

John Young

63. Okay.

Gus Grissom

Look at that thing. I don't know what we can do with any of this stuff floating around. Do you?

John Young

No, I don't either. We need a special place to keep that stuff.

Gus Grissom

I'll put it in my pocket.

John Young

Okay. I'll verify that load.

John Young

Is the TR-5 circuit breaker off?

Gus Grissom

Yes.

John Young

Okay.

Gus Grissom

You don't see many stars. You know that?

Gus Grissom

We have a scanner ignore light again. Aren't losing those gages again, are we?

John Young

No.

Gus Grissom

All of our power is okay?

John Young

Yep.

Gus Grissom

Must have been our scanners, I guess.

John Young

204. This is just beautiful, Gus! It checks to the digit!

Gus Grissom

Hey, we ought to have our face plates closed.

John Young

Okay.

Gus Grissom

Cabin Air Recirculation Valve-UP. That's where it is.

John Young

Huh?

Gus Grissom

It says Cabin Air Recirc Valve UP. That's where it is.

John Young

Yes. Faceplates closed or open?

Gus Grissom

Closed.

John Young

Okay.

Gus Grissom

Now we have a Catch-Up Mode Check.

John Young

Okay.

John Young

Now?

Gus Grissom

Well, yes. Now.

John Young

Okay.

Gus Grissom

Hey, there was lightning down below.

John Young

You want to go to CATCH-UP?

Gus Grissom

Yes.

Gus Grissom

In CATCH-UP. That right?

Gus Grissom

Yes.

Gus Grissom

Hey. I'm not in CATCH-UP yet. There's CATCH-UP.

John Young

Okay. I scratched this one out.

John Young

Okay.

Gus Grissom

You want to punch it in?

John Young

It's punched.

Gus Grissom

Okay, I'll start the computer.

Gus Grissom

50—30—40.

John Young

How about that? Just what it's supposed to be.

Gus Grissom

Roger. Just what it's supposed to be.

Gus Grissom

Pitch down.

John Young

Yes.

John Young

Okay, 56 is 20094, 57 is 19280.

John Young

Cabin pressure is reading 5.2, isn't it?

Gus Grissom

Yes, it's holding.

Gus Grissom

50—30—40. Those readings are right. You get 56?

John Young

Yes, 56 and 57 are right on the money. I copied them.

John Young

Okay, there it is — 10—20—30.

John Young

Okay, what time is it now?

Gus Grissom

70 minutes.

John Young

Huh?

Gus Grissom

Elapsed time of 70 minutes.

John Young

How many?

Gus Grissom

70.

John Young

Right now?

Gus Grissom

1:10. Yes.

John Young

Okay, at 70:18 give it to me.

Gus Grissom

MARK!

John Young

Okay, Blood Experiment deactivated.

Gus Grissom

Okay, that's exactly — that's 39° pitched down.

John Young

Okay, and you've got the sea urchin eggs coming up at 1:15, too.

Gus Grissom

Okay.

Gus Grissom

Pulse control is real good.

John Young

Yes.

Gus Grissom

It sure lights up all around though, doesn't it?

John Young

Sure does.

Gus Grissom

Okay, we're just about to get it all in one window.

John Young

Okay.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.

John Young

Okay, reading on the Catch-Up mode Check was 69 000 00.

Gus Grissom

Cape CAP COM, Molly Brown. Go ahead.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Roger, Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM. We're going to have you leave your propellant switch on and do the Texas burn, and we will watch your fuel usage then across the States. If it continues, we'll have you turn your propellant switches off, then, when you're over the Cape next time, except when you need to use the fuel.

Gus Grissom

Leave the propellant switch on for the Texas burn, and then watch for leakage?

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Roger. Leave it on till after the Texas burn, and then we will watch your leakage. If it continues to leak, we will have you turn them off over the Cape.

Gus Grissom

Roger. We can't tell that we're using any fuel.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Okay, fine. We are not overly concerned. It's just that we'd like to get a handle on what is causing it here.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Your O2 pressure is off the scale on the high side by telemetry.

John Young

Say again, Gordo.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Your oxygen pressure, your O2 pressure, is off the high side of the scale. You may have had that switch failure in there. you may have had a telemetry failure in there that failed to the high side.

John Young

Roger. We'll go to High Rate and see if it comes down, Gordo.

Gus Grissom

Roger, and Gordo we have lost our primary scanners.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Roger. Did you say primary scanners?

Gus Grissom

Affirmative.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

Okay. Can you give us a helium source pressure?

Gus Grissom

Say again.

Gordon Cooper (CapCom)

What is your helium source pressure?

John Young

Roger. It's 2350, Gordo.

Gus Grissom

Look at the sunrise.

John Young

Yes.

John Young

Our source pressure is 2350, Gordo.

John Young

Let's see if I can bring that pressure down, using O2 High Rate, if it is all right with you, Gus.

Gus Grissom

Okay.

John Young

We can try manual actuation of O2 High Rate. I never did the Suit Integrity Check.

Gus Grissom

We probably drove it overboard using that heater switch when we thought the pressure was down.
