John Young

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.

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