Spacelog Gemini 3

Yes, it's holding.

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

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

Okay, there it is — 10—20—30.

Okay, what time is it now?

70 minutes.

Huh?

Elapsed time of 70 minutes.

How many?

70.

Right now?

1:10. Yes.

Okay, at 70:18 give it to me.

MARK!

Okay, Blood Experiment deactivated.

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

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

Okay.

Pulse control is real good.

Yes.

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

Sure does.

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

Okay.

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.

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

Cape CAP COM, Molly Brown. Go ahead.

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.

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

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.

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.
