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.

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.

Do you want me to tell them about the oxygen pressure being off-scale?

Our status is GO. We did bring the ECS O₂ back down on the scale with O₂ High Rate, and since that time it has returned to off-scale.

Roger, and I have transmitted a T_R and Gemini load for your maneuver over Corpus. Confirm you were in CATCH-UP. Over.

Negative. We're in CATCH-UP, now.

Roger. I'll retransmit the load.

Roger. You have a load in the CATCH-UP for your maneuver.

Got to be in CATCH-UP.

Okay. There you go.

Roger. Go.

You are GO for the next orbit.

Roger. Thank you.

Are you ready to copy your maneuver times?

Stand by.

Roger.

You ready?

Yes.

Okay. We're ready to copy.

Roger. Your GMTB…correction, 15 57 00. Your ground elapsed time to burn, 01 33 00. Your ΔV of the burn, 048. Your length of burn, 01:14.

Roger. We copied 15:57, 01:33, 48ft/sec, at a minute and 14 seconds.

74 seconds.

Well, 1 minute 14. You want to read it back to them?

Did you get him the other one?

Neg. Wait until I'll get them.

Roger. Stand by for a GET time hack.

On my mark, it'll be 85 minutes and 45 seconds. Stand by.

MARK! You copied?

Roger. We copied.

Roger. Your clocks looked good on the ground.

Will you give me a readout of core 25, 26, and 27? Over.

26 and 27 are all zeros.

I wonder if he got it?

I don't know.

Molly Brown, RKV CAP COM.

Go ahead. Over.

Go ahead RKV.

Will you give me a readout of your computer core — 25, 26, and 27, please?

Roger. It was: 25 was minus 0480. 26 and 27 were all zeros. Over.

That is affirmative. I concur.

Molly Brown, can you give me a readout of your OAMS helium source pressure, temperature, and your propellant quantity gage.

The propellant quantity gage is 83 percent. Stand by. John will give you the other.

Roger. Source pressure is 2450. Source temperature is 85°, and fuel and oxidizer regulated at 295 with 68°.

Roger. 295 at 68. Say again your propellant quantity, Command Pilot.

Propellant quantity is 84 percent.

Roger. I copy.

Molly Brown, RKV standing by. Do you have anything else?
