Spacelog Gemini 3

MARK!

Thrusting complete.

Roger. Confirmed maneuver complete.

That burn was 1 minute and 14 seconds by our watches.

And when we started out, the IVI's were reading 51 ft/sec, and I burned them down to 2 ft/sec aft.

Say again, Molly Brown.

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.

Say again that last number.

Two. Zero, zero, two.

Roger.

What have you got on your propellant, Gus?

Propellant quantity is 65 percent.

Hey, we're in good shape.

Yes.

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.

Go ahead, Gordo.

Roger. Do you want to get your transmitter up to start your tape dump?

Yes, it's on. The transmitter is now DELAYED-TIME.

Ready for your tape dump?

Understand. Going tape playback CONTINUOUS.

Tape playback is on CONTINUOUS.

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?

Roger. Source pressure is 2050, temperature is 56.

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.

Oh, that record switch!

This source pressure is 2050. Source temperature is 56.

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.

If I go into High Rate you can break it off the peg. Over.

Okay, you can bring it off the peg by going to High Rate. Is that affirm?

Roger, but—

Roger. We got you loaded.

We had another DCS load just in, too.

Roger. That was the actual values. The first one was the T_R.

Roger.

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM. Did you get your experiments for the first orbit?

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.

Go ahead Cape CAP COM.

Roger. We just wanted to get a confirmation that you got your experiments on time for the first orbit.

Roger. We got them on time for the first orbit.

Roger.

Everything looks good down here.

Roger.

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM. Our memory loads on the ground confirm your loads were correct in there, so you might delete all the MDIU readouts.

Okay.

Here is the blood pressure coming down there, MCC.

Okay.

Tape dump is complete, Molly Brown.

Rog.

You still got a blood pressure, John? We didn't read it.

He sent it, okay. I'll give you another one.

Okay. Just wondered if he was breathing.

Gordo, do you have me a time for the Horizon Scan Check?

Cape CAP COM, do you read, Molly Brown.

Go ahead Molly Brown. Cape CAP COM.

Do you have me a time for the Horizon Scanner Check?

Okay, sunset time is 16 + 34. Stand by, and I will get you the horizon scanner.

1634.

That is the time for it, Molly Brown. 16 + 34.

Thanks.

Pretty spectacular up there, huh?

Say again.

Pretty spectacular up there, huh?

Yeah, it really is. It really is!

We didn't get to see much of the States though.

Clouded over? Too many clouds, huh?

Let's see, do you want your meal?

Yes.

Is this one all right?

Yes, this is the one here.

You can't get the bulb in, huh? How about if I just leave it in and give them blood pressures.

Yes, go ahead.

I can't get it in.

Hot dog! Good old food.

Going to have to make Alinement Check.

Want to just slap those babies over there?

They said to leave the brownies closed.

Okay, starting Alinement Caging Check. Minus 10° in pitch, 10° in yaw, and 10° in roll. Going to CAGE, small-end-forward, holding attitudes out the window. Okay, I've caged. Going SEF, platform and attitude. Fine aline from 1:45 to 1:55.

Let me have some of that juice when you get done.

Get any water?
