Spacelog Gemini 3

Okay.

T_R-5 circuit breaker is closed.

Yes.

Okay. All equipment is stowed. Secondary B pump is on.

There comes the sun.

And that old suit temp down there at 55°, S-band-CONTINUOUS, C-band-CONTINUOUS, T/M in REAL-TIME and ACQ.

Main batteries—we tested them. They checked good. C is way up there at 29, S2 —

Man! With that sun shining on the nose, I can't see anything now.

Every time you fire those RCS thrusters S1 and S2 drop voltage. Well, that's not unusual.

Hey, I can see the shadow of the scanner working now.

23.5 on the main bus.

Okay, right circuit breakers all closed.

Man! I hope the 8-ball is right, because there's no horizon.

Okay. Now 4:06 after retrofire is 400K, and 11 minutes after retrofire is reverse.

What's that again, now, John?

4:06 after retrofire is -

Let me write that down.

I'll tell you. I won't forget it.

4:06

And what is reverse?

One, MARK.

You're going to be a little late. I think you punched a little late.

19:04. That's a good T_R check.

Hope the sun doesn't get that scanner right here.

The last burn we received was 96 feet a second and a minute and 49 seconds of burn. Right?

Yeah, we're going to aline.

Okay. Ready for this burn.

Okay. Six minutes.

I've got to start that computer.

Man! There's the horizon and it is beautiful.

Okay. Better pitch over and check yaw.

Huh?

Better check yaw, for sure.

Okay. We have it. It's lying good now and the scanner —

Feels like it. Looks like it.

Got everything but start computer.

Okay, well —

I'm not going to start until later.

Wait a second.

Is it in?

No.
