Spacelog Gemini 3

MARK! End of burn.

Right. Mark end of burn. Good show.

We timed that a minute and 48 seconds.

Give us your IVI readings.

IVI's: Fore-Aft 0, Left was 1, Up was 2.

That was the end of burn.

Yes.

Okay, and how did your attitudes look?

Attitudes were right on, plus or minus 2 or 3°.

Okay, they look good on the ground.

Roger.

Now we can go to REENTRY. Right?

Yes.

Okay, I've got 9:29 on the T_R.

Okay, MARK!

Oh! Give me another.

I'll give you one at 19. Okay?

Okay.

MARK!

Okay, and the propellant source pressure is 1500.

We had indicated 22 percent when we got done, Neil.

20 percent. Rog?

About 22.

Okay.

Source pressure is 1500, source temperature 60-50, I mean. And the RCS-both rings on. Antenna okay. On REENTRY. Heaters off. Quantity Read Switch off.

Let's see, did we get all of this?

OAMS power to ATTITUDE, controller stow, attitude PULSE, computer to REENTRY.

Okay.

Now we're lined up good.

Okay, and the retro load is initialized now, because I called addresses 10 and 11 out of the computer.

Now, don't go out of Reentry mode.

Okay, but I don't think it would make any difference, as long as we go back. Okay — platform — rate — computer to REENTRY — RATE COMMAND — roll gyro off.

Yes.

Platform is ORBITAL RATE — No.

No.

Retro power—ARM.

Not now. At T_R-5, you mean?

Well, this is the 5-minute checklist.

Okay, well, we'll just — 7:20 now.

Oh, yeah!

You have to listen for it to hear it.

Can't see inside.

It's bright, isn't it?

Well, the nose looks way down there, but that's about right.

One minute.

Those thunderstorms would make it really tough coming in. You know?

It doesn't look like we're so high.

Batteries on. Mains on —

Got everything on we need. Right?

Yes sir.

Retro power is coming on here at 5:15.

Turn it off now.

Okay. It's 5 minutes.

MARK.

Okay.

That's everything but O₂ High Rate.

Okay.

Molly Brown, RKV CAP COM.

RKV, Molly Brown.

Molly Brown, Molly Brown, RKV CAP COM. Over.

Say again.

Molly Brown, RKV CAP COM. How do you read?

Read you loud and clear, RKV.

Roger. Have you completed T_R-5 checklist?

Roger.

Roger. I'll give you a mark at T_R-4.

Did you set your clock over there?

Yes, I want to start it at retrofire.

Okay, both rings working.

Stand by.

MARK!

Roger.

Your clock looks like it's counting good.

Are we all set for T_R-1?

Yes, just about. We'll make it.

Got it complete?

Yep. The adapter batteries are off. We're complete.

T_R-5 is complete.

Roger.

Molly Brown, RKV CAP COM.

Go ahead.

You want to mark at T_R-1?

Not necessary.

Roger.

Two minutes.

Molly Brown, RKV. You look good from the ground.

Roger. Thank you.

Roger.
