03 07 33
Gus Grissom: Roger. We were on secondary scanner for quite awhile. We are back on primary now.
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 07 48
Gus Grissom: Roger. I deleted that one Horizon Scanner Mode Check, too.
03 07 56

Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger. Did you have any success on contact with the booster?
03 08 22
Gus Grissom: We were facing the wrong way at that time, making a Horizon Scanner Check.
03 08 27
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Yeah, I was afraid you would be. That was a little bit tight in there.
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: We could see the southern part of California and Arizona, I guess. That was about it.
03 08 44
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): You want to get your real-time telemetry and acq aid on?
03 08 49

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

03 10 48
