Gus Grissom: I'm going to use them all.
02 16 42
John Young: Okay.
02 16 44
CSQ CapCom: Key moment Second orbital maneuvre, changing orbital inclination using all the OAMS thrusters: Molly Brown, CSQ CAP COM. We're standing by for the maneuvers.
02 16 55
Gus Grissom: Roger. 5 seconds . . .
02 17 13
John Young: Using the aft ones?
02 17 14
Gus Grissom: No, forward-firing ones.
02 17 15
Gus Grissom: 9 ft/sec-10. Okay, now 1 second on the others.
02 17 22
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ. Would you give us your IVI readouts before and after the burn?
02 17 28
Gus Grissom: Roger, IVI readouts before the burn were all zeros. After the burn was 10 ft/sec forward.
02 17 38
CSQ CapCom: Roger. Understand. 10 ft/sec forward.
02 17 42
Gus Grissom: That was in the 009° attitude. 10 ft/sec forward.
02 17 44
CSQ CapCom: Roger.
02 17 47
Gus Grissom: That was with a 90° yaw.
02 17 58
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ. Be advised I sent T_X twice. I've had spacecraft reject. I'll try again.
02 18 13
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ.
02 18 16
Gus Grissom: Go.
02 18 17
CSQ CapCom: We still cannot get an … back from spacecraft on T_X.
02 18 33
John Young: Roger, I'll set the T_X for the … Over.
02 18 38
CSQ CapCom: Say again.
02 18 45
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ. How did your attitudes hold during the maneuver?
02 18 49
John Young: Attitudes held very well.
02 18 52
CSQ CapCom: Roger.
02 19 53
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ.
02 19 54
Gus Grissom: …
02 19 59
CSQ CapCom: You still look real good from the ground here.
02 20 02
Gus Grissom: Roger.
02 21 00
John Young: Okay. Replaced the tape recorder cartridge.
02 21 01
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, CSQ CAP COM.
02 21 03
Gus Grissom: Go ahead CSQ.
02 21 04
CSQ CapCom: Would you give us a propellant quantity readout before and after the burn?
02 21 09
Gus Grissom: Before the burn it was 66 percent, and now it reads 61 percent.
02 21 16
CSQ CapCom: Molly Brown, say again.
02 21 20
Gus Grissom: 66 percent before, 61 percent after.
02 21 24
CSQ CapCom: Roger.
02 21 28
Gus Grissom: I'm not real sure of that before burn.
02 21 30
John Young: At 1645 GMT, changed the tape from No. 28 to No. 10. Okay.
02 21 32
CSQ CapCom: That looks like it's in the ball park.
02 22 03
Gus Grissom: This thing isn't alined, is it?

02 22 06
John Young: I think you're right.
02 22 25
Gus Grissom: Give it one more chance.
02 22 38
Gus Grissom: Let's see — 2:22 elapsed. Carnarvon comes up in about a minute.
Expand selection down Contract selection up
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Molly Brown, Molly Brown, Carnarvon CAP COM. How do you read?
Expand selection down Contract selection up
02 23 25
Gus Grissom: Carnarvon, this is Molly Brown. Read you loud and clear.
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Very good, Gus; we'd like to get a blood pressure on the co-pilot, please, and could I have your status?
02 23 36
Gus Grissom: Okay — blood pressure's coming and our status is green.
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Very good. We don't have any communications with the Cape at this time, but they have requested for me to run down your flight control problem a little bit. The first thing I'd like to know is what kind of rates are you getting if you just let it yaw?
02 23 57
Gus Grissom: They are very slow, Pete. Probably on the order of a quarter of a degree per second.
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay and you are in a horizon scan mode, is that correct?
02 24 13
Gus Grissom: At the present time I'm in Pulse and alining the platform.
Pete Conrad (CapCom): Okay. You're in pulse alining the platform. Are your ACME logic yaw rate gryos and attitude drivers and all that stuff still primary?
