Spacelog Gemini 3

It sure does, Gus.

I think the rest of it is all right.

It could be the horizon scanner, huh?

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

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.

Your Three-Alpha times are nominal.

Roger … and nominal.

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

I don't see anything that makes a decent target at all.

Well, I can't — can you pitch down so I can see something?

Oh, you can't see anything. If I pitched straight over you could have. See?

Yes.

Here, there is a target down there.

Where?

You've got to pitch the nose down. Right by the nose.

That green spot?

No, down — like straight down.

I don't know what you see.

There's all kinds of stuff. See that town down there?

Where?

Right around here on the right.

I can't see over there, John. I'll roll back to the right so we can both see. Ah yeah, there is one right down below here. Let's see if I can get it.

Guaymas, go ahead.

Have you completed your Coolant Pump Checks?

Yes.

Right there?

Yes.

Yes, go ahead.

I'm tracking him right on around.

Okay.

You can't see the pipper.

I know.

Tell them we have done our Coolant Pump Check.

Coolant Pump Checks complete.

Roger. What is the status on the checks?

What difference does it make?

We couldn't get the B pumps to come on simultaneously.

We couldn't get the pumps on simultaneously.

Say again, Molly Brown. You're broken.

We couldn't get the pumps on simultaneously.

I copied you cannot get the pumps on simultaneously.

Roger.

Got the pictures?

Yes.

That is right up from the tip of the Gulf of California, isn't it?

Yes.

I don't see the Salton Sea.

Guaymas standing by for your standby T/M real-time modulation check.

I can't see in here now. I'm blind.
