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?

Eleven minutes flat. That sounds about right, because it was 10 minutes and 51 seconds from our nominal data.

There is still no horizon.

Okay. Give me a mark, and let me check T_R one more time.

Okay, I'll give it to you at 19:08.

Okay.

Got about 10 seconds. Could give it to you anytime, couldn't I?

Yep.

I'll give it to you at 05.

Okay.

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. 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.
