03 07 38
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Okay, if you think the platform is drifting too much there for that Control Mode Characteristic Check, just delete that — that at 3 + 30.

03 08 22
Gus Grissom: We were facing the wrong way at that time, making a Horizon Scanner Check.
03 08 27

03 08 30
Gus Grissom: Yes.
03 08 33
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Did you manage to see anything over the U.S. because of the clouds?
03 08 36

Gus Grissom: Go ahead.
03 10 32
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): We understand you don't have this rolling off in Free mode. Is that affirmative?
03 10 39
Gus Grissom: I don't have any in SEF or BEF mode, Gordo. I haven't checked Free yet. Give me another few minutes.
03 10 46
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Okay, fine.
03 10 48
Gus Grissom: But the platform does aline properly in the BEF mode. I can tell that already.
03 10 52
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Okay, real good.
03 11 56

03 12 33

03 12 35
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Very good. We were sure interested in that.
03 13 24
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.
03 13 28
Gus Grissom: Go ahead.
03 13 29
