Spacelog Gemini 3

Yes, sideways, and pitch down 90. Will this hurt alinement? — because I can see some targets up north.

You mean roll to the right?

We are standing by for your coolant pump checks.

No. Roll left.

Roll left, and pitch down.

I don't see a good target anyplace.

What did you say, Guaymas?

We are standing by for your report on your Coolant Pump Checks.

Roger.

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?

Molly Brown. This is Guaymas handing you over to Texas.

Roger.

There is nothing down there to see. You know it?

That sight blocks the window. Know it?

Yeah, I know it.

I couldn't track it in Pulse.

I know.

How much fuel will we need for the next burn?

The standard burn is 93 ft/sec. We will have enough.

We're alined okay, now.

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.

Go ahead, Cape CAP COM.

Do you have your standby telemetry transmitter on and ready for a tape dump?

Okay. Our standby T/M is in REAL-TIME.

Okay. You are commanding it on. All righty, we'll give you the word on it then. What is the status of your other platform modes, Molly Brown — BEF or Free?

Say again.

What is the status of your other platform modes, such as BEF and Free?

Well SEF is fine. Orbit Rate is the one that drives me off in roll. I haven't checked BEF yet. I'll go ahead and give it a check now.

Okay.

How long does it take you to build up this quarter degree rate in that yaw rate, starting from zero yaw rate?

Gordo, it just gradually accelerates. It's some slow leak out there.

Roger. Are you satisfied with obtaining and holding your attitudes visually?

Roger, and the platform is alining properly in SEF.
