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—

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?

Roger.

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.

It looks like it's something on the side. I don't know what it is.

Canaries, Molly. Go ahead.

Roger. We have systems GO on the ground.

Roger. We are GO in here. We are finishing our Alinement Check.

Roger. Understand, and Canaries transmitting a calibrate command.

What was that?

Transmit my T/M cal.

Okay. It's coming.

What was the time we could see that booster?

2 08 52.

Elapsed?

Yes.

Okay. Tell them we're sending them a T/M 2 cal.

A T/M 2 cal is coming.

I don't see where it says for us to do that, but I guess that's all right. I think we should have done it on the first pass.

One of these pills came off.

Molly Brown, Canary CAP COM.

Go, Canaries.

Roger. After your burn your orbit is 85.6, 92.6.

Roger. 85.6, 92.6.

And I have a Two-Bravo time.

I thought they weren't going to give those times to us.

Stand by.

If either one of these things leaks, we can just close up shop.

Okay. What's the Two-Bravo time?

Roger. ΔV90. GMTRC 16 52 25. GETRC 02 28 35. Roll left 55.

Roger. Two-Bravo: 90 ΔV. 16 52 25 GMTRC. Elapsed time of 02 28 25. Roll left 55.

That's affirm.

No, you can handle that.

What was the time of that booster again? What elevation?

02 08 52. 18° el.

02 —

2 hours, 8 minutes, 52 seconds. 18° el.

Above? They didn't give us the mileage, huh?

19 miles.

Dead ahead.

Yeah.

We're alined just about perfect. What do you think, looking out your window?
