Spacelog Gemini 3

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.

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

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

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

Say again, Gordo.

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.

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

Roger, and Gordo we have lost our primary scanners.

Roger. Did you say primary scanners?

Affirmative.

Okay. Can you give us a helium source pressure?

Say again.

What is your helium source pressure?

Roger. It's 2350, Gordo.

Look at the sunrise.

Yes.

Our source pressure is 2350, Gordo.

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

Okay.

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

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

Yes. That's right.

We have got to get ready for this Texas burn.

Yes.

What time is that Texas burn?

1:33.

1:33.

Now see, it is coming down.

Okay.

Now, we'll just recock it.

That was O₂ High Rate for about two minutes to bring the pressure off the peg. it's now reading 985, and cabin pressure is holding at 5.6.

Here comes the sunrise. Is that beautiful!

Isn't that pretty?

Aren't you going to take any pictures?

I hadn't planned to on this pass. I'll get the camera out.

Let's see, I want circuit breakers 9 and 10 off, don't I?

Yes. That sun's bright, isn't it?

Look at that! Where do you suppose that came from?

What?

I know you shouldn't let those things float around, but I don't know what to do with them.

What did he say that burn was on that … net? It's 48 ft —

48 feet and 73 seconds.

Okay. you put that in, don't you?

Yes.

Do I have to be in CATCH-UP when you put it in?

What?

Do I have to be in CATCH-UP when you put it in?

For me to enter it, yes. I'll just put in on the MDIU indicators here.

Looks like the velocity is about perfect. You can really tell you're moving on. You know that?

You sure can!

I can see some interesting cloud formations down there.

We'll be coming up for Guaymas, I guess, next.

Okay, what elapsed time are we in the flight plan, Gus?

1:19

1:19

RKV we get at 1:24.
