Gus Grissom: They sure blurp a lot, don't they? That may be attitude control thrusters though. Probably what it is.
01 33 49
John Young: Okay.
01 33 55
John Young: Coming up on—coming up on a minute.
01 34 00
John Young: MARK.
01 34 02
Gus Grissom: 7 ft/sec to go.
01 34 05
John Young: A minute, five.
Gus Grissom: What did we do? Burn down an—give me a mark.
01 34 09
John Young: Okay. 4—3—2—1 -
01 34 14
John Young: MARK!
Gus Grissom: Thrusting complete.
01 34 18
Roger Chaffee (CapCom): Roger. Confirmed maneuver complete.
01 34 21
John Young: That burn was 1 minute and 14 seconds by our watches.
01 34 27
Gus Grissom: And when we started out, the IVI's were reading 51 ft/sec, and I burned them down to 2 ft/sec aft.
01 34 37
Roger Chaffee (CapCom): Say again, Molly Brown.
01 34 38
Gus Grissom: As we started to burn my IVI's read 51 ft/sec, and we burned them down to the place where they read 2 ft/sec.
01 34 48
Roger Chaffee (CapCom): Say again that last number.
01 34 50
Gus Grissom: Two. Zero, zero, two.
01 34 56
Roger Chaffee (CapCom): Roger.
01 35 01
John Young: What have you got on your propellant, Gus?
01 35 05
Gus Grissom: Propellant quantity is 65 percent.
01 35 09
John Young: Hey, we're in good shape.
01 35 14
Gus Grissom: Yes.
01 35 27
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.
Gus Grissom: Go ahead, Gordo.
01 35 29
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger. Do you want to get your transmitter up to start your tape dump?

01 35 31
John Young: Yes, it's on. The transmitter is now DELAYED-TIME.
01 35 38
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Ready for your tape dump?
01 35 42
John Young: Understand. Going tape playback CONTINUOUS.
01 35 49
John Young: Tape playback is on CONTINUOUS.
01 35 53
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Okay, Molly Brown. Looks like your OAMS has leveled out before your burn. Can you give us an OAMS source pressure and temp again now?
01 35 59
John Young: Roger. Source pressure is 2050, temperature is 56.
01 36 10
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.
01 36 12
John Young: Oh, that record switch!
01 36 16
John Young: This source pressure is 2050. Source temperature is 56.
01 36 24
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger. it looks like that pressure switch on that O₂ is failed. You probably better bring that O₂ heater from AUTOMATIC to OFF, and then manually control the temp from then on—the pressure from then on.
01 36 43
John Young: If I go into High Rate you can break it off the peg. Over.
01 36 48
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Okay, you can bring it off the peg by going to High Rate. Is that affirm?
01 36 51
John Young: Roger, but—
01 36 52
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Okay. I have a time for you, where you will be nearest to the booster. Would you like to have that so you can look for it?
01 36 58
John Young: Roger.
01 36 59
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger. 02 + 08 + 52. Will be dead ahead at an elevation of plus 80° at 190 miles. This will be just prior to darkness. It should be very bright. Proceed to see if you can rendezvous.
01 37 22
Gus Grissom: Roger.
01 37 37
