Spacelog Gemini 3

Roger, DCS load received.

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.

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?
