Spacelog Gemini 3

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

Looks good, Gus.

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

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

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

That Orbit Rate isn't any good, then.

Yes.

Molly Brown, RKV CAP COM. Over.

RKV, this is Molly Brown.

Roger. We are standing by for your respiratory maneuver.

Roger.

The respiratory maneuver? I can give it to them.

Here it comes.

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

Blood pressure is on the way.

Roger.

RKV, Molly Brown.

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

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

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.

Roger. Understand. Stand by one.

The Gage Correlation Report is complete.

The Gage Correlation Report is complete.

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

Read it into the recorder.

Okay.

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

Molly Brown, RKV CAP COM.

Go ahead.

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

Roger.

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.

You are supposed to take pictures of this.

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.

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

Negative.

Roger. Guaymas will be next.

I don't see a good target anyplace.

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

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

Molly Brown, Guaymas CAP COM.

Guaymas, Molly Brown.
