John Young

Yes. Well, I'm going to turn them off now and see what happens. Okay. The mains are off. Been on seven minutes while we were on O2 High Rate. Okay, we are down to 62 percent at three hours. We are two percent under what we should be. That ought to be good enough for a couple of orbits.

Gus Grissom

I really can't tell whether I have zero yaw or not. What do you think?

John Young

Get off some and then I can tell.

Gus Grissom

I'll take this sight down out of here a second.

Gus Grissom

I have to get the 8-ball caged.

John Young

Now I can tell you have — haven't.

Gus Grissom

Do I have to go to the right?

John Young

You have to go back to the right. You are going the right way.

John Young

Now, let's see what TR is.

Gus Grissom

How does that look to you? Is that enough?

John Young

It looks pretty good to me, Gus.

Hawaii CapCom

Hello, Molly Brown. This is Hawaii CAP COM.

Gus Grissom

Hello, Hawaii. This is Molly Brown.

Hawaii CapCom

Confirm your telemetry in REAL-TIME and ACQUISITION.

Gus Grissom

Telemetry is in REAL-TIME and ACQ. Neil —

John Young

I thought they told us to put it in COMMAND over Carnarvon.

Hawaii CapCom

Yeah. Go ahead, Molly Brown.

Gus Grissom

I have a problem with the 8-ball here, keeping it alined, or Orbit Rate control is not right.

Hawaii CapCom

Say again, Molly Brown. I didn't understand.

Gus Grissom

The attitude on the 8-ball is drifting badly. I'm trying to get it alined right now.

Hawaii CapCom

Okay. Understand the 8-ball attitude is drifting badly. You have a GO from the ground. We are ready to up-line a 4-1 TR to you.

Gus Grissom

John, do you think I've got too much right yaw?

Gus Grissom

Ready to copy it?

John Young

Tell them to send it.

Gus Grissom

Go ahead and send it.

Hawaii CapCom

Okay, sending now.

John Young

Roger, 4-1 time received and verified.

Hawaii CapCom

And we would like to send you a TX as soon as you are ready.

John Young

Roger. Send TX.

Hawaii CapCom

Right, sending TX now. And we confirm your TR — in synch.

Hawaii CapCom

Give us a hack when you start your Gage Correlation Check.

John Young

Okay, Roger. Mark the Gage Correlation Check.

Hawaii CapCom

Roger. Got it.

John Young

Okay. Gage Correlation Check at 1816, and away we go.

Note

Pilot misread 24-hour clock. It should have been 1716.

Gus Grissom

What do you thin, John? Do you think that's about it?

Note

Reference to yaw alinement

John Young

—and the propellant quantity is 60 percent.

Gus Grissom

That should be about zero, shouldn't it?

Hawaii CapCom

Molly Brown, Hawaii CAP COM. Are both your attitude indicators drifting together?

Hawaii CapCom

Okay.

John Young

Natch. Cabin temperature — 92. Suit temperature — 58. Cabin pressure is 5.6. Suit CO2 is 3/4. Left bottle is 5100. Right bottle is 5050. O2 quantity 62. Pressure is 840. Source temperature is 55. Source pressure is 2000. OAMS fuel —

Hawaii CapCom

Molly Brown, Hawaii CAP COM. Everything looks good on the ground. We will see you on the next time around. Aloha.

John Young

Roger. We are in the middle of the Gage Correlation Report.

John Young

OAMS fuel temperature — 68. RCS A temperature — Gee! A temperature is 87.

Gus Grissom

Look at the ball. It immediately goes out in roll.

It sure does, Gus.

Gus Grissom

I think the rest of it is all right.

John Young

It could be the horizon scanner, huh?

John Young

A pressure is 2000 — B is 2650 — Main ammeter No. 1 is 19 — No. 2 is — 1A is —

Gus Grissom

Now there it is coming in. It is in SEF mode.

John Young

Looks good, Gus.

Gus Grissom

Yes, when I go to small-end-forward it alines it all right.

John Young

Maybe we ought to aline it small-end-forward, huh?

Gus Grissom

Well, that is, if you go to ORBIT RATE it goes off. That's what happens.

John Young

That Orbit Rate isn't any good, then.

RKV CapCom

Molly Brown, RKV CAP COM. Over.

RKV CapCom

Roger. We are standing by for your respiratory maneuver.

John Young

The respiratory maneuver? I can give it to them.

RKV CapCom

Roger. We copy, Molly Brown. We are standing by for your pilot's oral temp and blood pressure.

Gus Grissom

Blood pressure is on the way.

RKV CapCom

Roger.

RKV CapCom

Stand by. Roger, we are receiving the blood pressure, Molly Brown.

RKV CapCom

Molly Brown, RKV. We have received your blood pressure and temperature.

Gus Grissom

Roger, RKV. The platform alines all right when I'm in SEF and, evidently, when I go to ORBIT RATE it drive the ball off in roll.

RKV CapCom

Roger. Understand. Stand by one.

John Young

The Gage Correlation Report is complete.

Gus Grissom

The Gage Correlation Report is complete.

John Young

Time is 1821. Can I read these into the recorder, Gus, or will it get to you?

Gus Grissom

Read it into the recorder.

Gus Grissom

Let's see. It's pitching down on Orbit Rate. Horizon Scan now. Let's see if it stops it. Pitched down to 10°.

RKV CapCom

Molly Brown, RKV CAP COM.

RKV CapCom

If you are drifting in Orbit Rate, suggest you select a mode of your own for your tracking task coming up on the coast.

John Young

Thanks a bunch. Okay, I'll read these quantities off. The GMT was 1716 when we started. Propellant quantity was 60. Cabin temperature — 92. Suit temperature — 58. Cabin pressure — 5.6. Suit CO2 — 3/4 millimeter. Secondary left O2 bottle — 5100. Secondary O2 bottle right was 5050. ECS O2 quantity — 62 percent. Pressure — 840. Source temperature — 55. Source pressure — 2000. Fuel temp — 68.

Gus Grissom

You are supposed to take pictures of this.

John Young

I know it, I know it — 295. RCS A temperature — 87. RCS A pressure — 3000. RCS B temperature — 82. RCS B pressure — 2650. Main ammeter — 19. No. 2 — 19.5. 1A —4.5. 1B — 4.5. 1C — 4. 2A — 5. 2B — 4 3/4. 2C — 4 3/4. DC volts 23.5. S1 — 29. S2 — 29. C — 27. 1A — 24. 1B — 24. 1C — 24. Greenwich Mean Time is 1721. Completed.

RKV CapCom

Molly Brown, RKV. You are looking good here on the ground. If you have any further comments we are standing by.

RKV CapCom

Roger. Guaymas will be next.

Gus Grissom

I don't see a good target anyplace.

John Young

Man, just pitch over and I'll take a picture.

John Young

Can you pitch it down and toward the States, Gus?

Guaymas CapCom

Molly Brown, Guaymas CAP COM.

Guaymas CapCom

Your Three-Alpha times are nominal.

Gus Grissom

Roger … and nominal.

John Young

Can you come across a ground tracking looking down like that, Gus?
