Spacelog Gemini 3

I am too.

Secondary pump is off and T/M to COMMAND.

Molly Brown, Guaymas CAP COM.

Go ahead, Guaymas.

We are standing by for your standby telemetry transmitter check with real-time.

Okay. Tell them to stand by. T/M's in REAL-TIME.

Standby T/M is in REAL-TIME.

Roger.

Hey, Gus. We are coming up on El Paso.

Are we?

Molly Brown, that T/M check is okay on the ground.

Yes.

You see it?

You've got to pitch over. It's beneath us.

Where?

Where?

That's the mountain range right there. See that hill right over there? I think El Paso is under the clouds.

Molly Brown, Guaymas. Would you say again the trouble you are having with your pump check?

We had no trouble with the pump check.

Roger.

Would you remove pump A off of primary?

Is pump A off primary?

We got A off.

Pump A is off primary.

Well, No. 2 audio to RECORD. Suit Fan No. 2 — check.

At 3:10. Okay.

Change the tape again over the Cape.

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?

We could see the southern part of California and Arizona, I guess. That was about it.

You want to get your real-time telemetry and acq aid on?

I can't see it, Gus. I'm blind from looking outside.

It's on.

Okay. We've got it.

How's the weather, in general, around the world?

Very cloudy.

I see.

We've seen very little land.

All clouds and water, huh?

Yep, not even much water.

Roger. We got a DCS update just then. Was that the T_X. Over?

We just got DCS update, Gordo. Was that the T_X?

Roger. They got it up and verified.

T_R looks good, Molly Brown.

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.

Go ahead.

We understand you don't have this rolling off in Free mode. Is that affirmative?

I don't have any in SEF or BEF mode, Gordo. I haven't checked Free yet. Give me another few minutes.

Okay, fine.

But the platform does aline properly in the BEF mode. I can tell that already.

Okay, real good.

We have good verification on your load now, Molly Brown. It looks good.

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.

Go ahead Cape.

Have you had a chance to check that Free mode yet?

I'm in Free mode now, and it looks like it is working all right.

Very good. We were sure interested in that.

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.

Go ahead.

I would like for you to turn that cabin fan on for two minutes and then back off when you can to see as a little experiment.
