Spacelog Gemini 3

I'm rolling to 60° left now.

Roger, bank left 45.

I mean 45.

10 + 54 after retro is reverse bank angle.

Say again, Gordo.

What did you say, Gordo?

Time from retro fire to reverse bank angle is 10:54. Ten minutes, 54 seconds.

Go ahead, Molly Brown.

Molly Brown, are you reading Cape CAP COM now? Over.

Black Dog …

Hello there!

Molly Brown, Cape CAP COM.

Roger. We're down to 80 000 feet. My needles show us about 25 miles short.

Roger, indicating about 25 miles short on your computer. Very good.

I have a drogue time 19 10 42. What is your altimeter reading?

Reading 60 000.

You say 70 000?

There goes the drogue.

Intrepid, this is Molly Brown.

Roger. We are reading you now and then. How us?

Loud and clear. I have 30 ft/sec rate of descent. Passing through 5500.

You never took your D-Ring out, huh?

Roger, 5500.

Yes I did, too!

Oh, did you?

You better believe it!

Face plate open?

Open?

That's what the checklist says. Indicate Landing Control circuit breaker open.

What?

Indicate Landing Attitude Control circuit breaker open. That's that second one over on your panel. There you go.

ACME bias power off.

Molly Brown, this is Intrepid. It appears you will land 5 miles ahead of me. Over.

Roger. Thank you.

That'll be nice. Rescue beacon is on.

Do you have us in sight, Intrepid?

Not yet. Over.

Roger.

I'll turn the rescue beacon on, then.

Rescue beacon coming on.

Passing through 4000.

Suit fan to No. 2.

That drogue chute is right above us, or the pilot chute.

I understand the drogue is just above you, or the pilot chute.

Say again.

RCS heater's off. We did not do that heater check. Oh, well. We didn't need it anyways. RCS temperature was way up. Scanner Heater circuit breaker open.

Do you smell that fuel? Fumes from that stuff?

Yes. Let's close up.

Yes. I can see 'em smoking out there.

Suit flow increase.

They'll get quenched in a minute.

Reentry Antenna Experiment off.

Okay. Manual O₂ High Rate—PULL. I don't think we want to do that yet, do you?

No.

I imagine it is pretty bad in here.

The water seal is closed. AC power off.

Okay.

We're coming through the lower layer, John. You better get ready to hit. We're at 2000. No telling how far the altimeter is off.

Okay.

I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

You can put your head back.

Landing attitude was a bump, wasn't it?
