John Young: It sure does, Gus.
02 54 22
Gus Grissom: I think the rest of it is all right.
02 54 25
John Young: It could be the horizon scanner, huh?
02 54 29
John Young: A pressure is 2000 — B is 2650 — Main ammeter No. 1 is 19 — No. 2 is — 1A is —
02 54 57
Gus Grissom: Now there it is coming in. It is in SEF mode.
02 55 02
John Young: Looks good, Gus.
02 55 07
Gus Grissom: Yes, when I go to small-end-forward it alines it all right.
02 55 14
John Young: Maybe we ought to aline it small-end-forward, huh?
02 55 16
Gus Grissom: Well, that is, if you go to ORBIT RATE it goes off. That's what happens.
02 55 24
John Young: That Orbit Rate isn't any good, then.
02 55 26
Gus Grissom: Yes.
02 55 32
RKV CapCom: Molly Brown, RKV CAP COM. Over.
02 55 35
Gus Grissom: RKV, this is Molly Brown.
02 55 37
RKV CapCom: Roger. We are standing by for your respiratory maneuver.
02 55 41
Gus Grissom: Roger.
02 55 43
John Young: The respiratory maneuver? I can give it to them.
02 55 49
Gus Grissom: Here it comes.
02 55 58
RKV CapCom: Roger. We copy, Molly Brown. We are standing by for your pilot's oral temp and blood pressure.
02 56 44
Gus Grissom: Blood pressure is on the way.
02 56 46
RKV CapCom: Roger.
02 56 55
Gus Grissom: RKV, Molly Brown.
02 56 57
RKV CapCom: Stand by. Roger, we are receiving the blood pressure, Molly Brown.
02 57 12
RKV CapCom: Molly Brown, RKV. We have received your blood pressure and temperature.
02 57 17
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.
02 57 33
RKV CapCom: Roger. Understand. Stand by one.
02 57 38
John Young: The Gage Correlation Report is complete.
02 57 42
Gus Grissom: The Gage Correlation Report is complete.
02 57 52
John Young: Time is 1821. Can I read these into the recorder, Gus, or will it get to you?
02 58 00
Gus Grissom: Read it into the recorder.
02 58 01
John Young: Okay.
02 58 07
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°.
02 58 15
RKV CapCom: Molly Brown, RKV CAP COM.
02 58 17
Gus Grissom: Go ahead.
02 58 18
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.
02 58 25
Gus Grissom: Roger.
02 58 26
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.
02 58 58
Gus Grissom: You are supposed to take pictures of this.
02 58 59
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: Roger. Guaymas will be next.
02 59 30
Gus Grissom: I don't see a good target anyplace.
02 59 41
John Young: Man, just pitch over and I'll take a picture.
02 59 50
John Young: Can you pitch it down and toward the States, Gus?
02 59 51
Guaymas CapCom: Molly Brown, Guaymas CAP COM.
02 59 55
Gus Grissom: Guaymas, Molly Brown.
02 59 58
Guaymas CapCom: Your Three-Alpha times are nominal.
03 00 01
Gus Grissom: Roger … and nominal.
03 00 03
John Young: Can you come across a ground tracking looking down like that, Gus?
03 00 06
Gus Grissom: Sideways?
