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

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

02 58 25
Gus Grissom: Roger.
02 58 26

02 59 08
Gus Grissom: Negative.
02 59 10
RKV CapCom: Roger. Guaymas will be next.
02 59 30
Gus Grissom: I don't see a good target anyplace.
02 59 41

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?

03 00 07
John Young: Yes, sideways, and pitch down 90. Will this hurt alinement? — because I can see some targets up north.
03 00 14
Gus Grissom: You mean roll to the right?
Guaymas CapCom: We are standing by for your coolant pump checks.
03 00 18

03 00 48
John Young: Well, I can't — can you pitch down so I can see something?
03 00 53

03 02 01
Gus Grissom: Coolant Pump Checks complete.
03 02 04
Guaymas CapCom: Roger. What is the status on the checks?
03 02 07
John Young: What difference does it make?
03 02 10
