Spacelog Gemini 3

Roger, 20 and 5 foot.

Roger. Did you have any success on contact with the booster?

We were facing the wrong way at that time, making a Horizon Scanner Check.

Yeah, I was afraid you would be. That was a little bit tight in there.

Yes.

Did you manage to see anything over the U.S. because of the clouds?

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.

Okay, it's on.

Okay.

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.

Go ahead.

That next normal burn will be a ΔV of 96.

Roger, the next burn will be 96.

The time on that is 1 + 49.

Roger. 96 ft/sec and 1 + 49 seconds.

1 + 49 and 96 ft/sec.

…

Okay.
