CC: Roger. Reading you loud and clear, also. Are you still copying the McDivitt hour on Space Station MCCH?
C: Negative, we haven't read them since--
P: Carnarvon, this is Gemini-5. The last thing we heard f_om them was "Never On Sunday" at 15:08:00 and then they faded.
UNKNOWN: say, everything looks good on the ground; we're standing by.
CC: Be advised that they will start playing the music again after our IDS.
P: Roger. STANDBY.
CC: - 00, radar to
CC: Radar 16:22:OO. Radar to ON. Monitor for interfer- ence.
UNKNOWN: SPADATS will be tracking.
P: Go ahead, Hawaii. Next, OFF.

CC: Next item: S-7 16:26:00, 02. Under remarks: Disturbance will be north of track.
CC: Copy? HAWAII
P: Hello, Hawaii, Gemini-5 on HF. Go ahead.
CC: Roger, did you copy mY Sierra setup?
CC: Gemini-5, this is Hawaii,--
CC: Gemini-5, this is Hawaii on HI_.
P: Hello, Hawaii. Nello Hawaii. Gemini-5.
C: Hello, Hawaii. Hello, Hawaii. Gemini-5.
CC: Roger. California lost, Hawaii lost their trans- mitter. I'm talking to you through California. How do you read?
P: The only thing I got as far as Radar, 16:22:00 ON.
CC: Okay. When you put it on at 16:22, we'd like to STANDBY have you turn it to and ON and STANI_Y with the 30 second period in each position for a total of 6 minutes until 16:28:00.
CC: Okay. There'11 be an S-7 at 06:16:26:00. Sequence No. 02. The distrubance will be north of track. There will be another S-7 at O6:17:43:00. Sequence No. 03. Over.
P: Roger. Say again the sequence number on the first one and time on the second S-7.
CC: Roger. The sequence number on the first S-7 is 02. I say again, Sequence 02. The time of the second S-7 is 06:17:43:00. I say the time again. 06:17:43:00.
P: You want us to bring our UNF back up at 16:04.
P: Roger. MUSIC.
CC: Gemini-5, Gemini-5, this is Houston on UHF.
C: Go ahead, Houston, Gemini-5 on UNF.
CC: Roger. How was your HF across the Pacific that time? I was giving you music out of California from the time you left Carnarvon. Could you read it?
P: Okay, let me give you a time, Just a second. We started hearing discernible w,,_ic--Wecouldn't tell what it was at 15:49, and by 15:50 you were loud and clear.
P: Is the D-6 135 still on for a 16:10:387
CC: Stand by here, let me check.
CC: Gemini-5, Houston. Yes, they were up last time and they'11 be up again this time.
P: Okay, well about 2 seconds before they're supposed to be up, why we rolled out our White Sands view.
CC: Okay. Give it a whirl this time. We'd like to have you go to C-Band Adapter Switch to CONTINUOUS at this time.
CC: Gemini-5, we'd also like a co,_-enton your vehicle rates.
C: Oh, it's about 1-_2 degrees per second, I guess.
CC: Okay. Gemini-5, there's a large storm down off the northeast coast of South _merica that we'd like to have you take a look at. It's on your chart on your orbit map there. It sticks out to the north- east from just about where the town of Georgetown is plotted on the map. We would like to know if there are any large areas which seem to be breaking off from the main body of the storm and moving up to the north.
CC: This particular radar teat we're doing ia a teat with the SPADATS tracking you. I'd like to clarify again that we want the radar to be on for 30 seconds and then at STaY for 30 seconds for the 6 minute period. At the end of that period we want you to go ahead and turn it off, because you'11 probably be out of our sight by that time.
CC: Also, we're going to leave your Fuel Cell Section 02 up now until you get to Hawaii on this next pass. When you get over Carnarvon, we want you to purge both sections of it, and Carnarvon will be talking to you on a relatively short pass there. Then we'11 look at it over Hawaii, and if it looks okay, we'11 shut it back down again.
CC: This is the best we've been able to come back at you with: There was a young poet from Shawnee, Whose lines were very funny, When told this was so, He said yes, I know, But I always try to get as re,nywords in the last line as I possibly can.
UNKNOWN: (Many chuckles ) Very good.
P: Okay, I'm looking at White Sands, but I don't see anything.
CC: Okay, look harder.'
P: AIl right ... We'11 try now rotating at left yaw and roll. If we can figure out which way Laredo is, we'11 try and get a picture of it.
P: But I 'm afraid we're not going to make it.
CC: Gemini-5, Houston Flight. Flight.
C: They've been doing very well.
CC: We 'ye made some selections down here for you tomorrow, so you can stand by.
C: We saw the target.
C: No we're just rotating by.
C: This is your Captain speaking to you, 40,000 miles, weather is clear. MUSIC
CC: Did you get our message?
CC: Okay, put your C-Band Adapter Switch to COMMAND now please.
CC: Do you think you got the picture of the acquisition targets?
P: Gordo took one with the 35 and the 250 bunch, and I took one with the Hasselblad. But I was taking it out of the very corner of the window; I may have all spacecraft.
CC: Yes, I appreciate the problem. Did they have the smoke pots out there today for you?
P: MARK, radar to STANDBY. Say again.
CC: Did they have the smoke pots out there for you?
C: I didn't note the smoke pots at all. I Just found the target.
P: I had another good look at White Sands, and I didn't see anything.
CC: Gemini-5, we'd like to have you damp your rates out now. We'd like to have another check on it to d-_ed see if we can get the rates out. Okay?
CC: And you might report on how all the thrusters seem to be operating.
C: Okay, we're powered up.... works all right on pitch. Have on thruster out on right yaw.
C: It's not completely out; it's Just weak, but it's giving us some left roll.
C: That's the way the simulator sits.
CC: Oh, that's right, I forgot. This is a pretty good slm,,lation,isn't it?
P: We're trying out the thruster No. 7, No. 8, Direct BOW. Okay.
C: Aha: some
CC: Did you get then?
C: It was in Direct. There - a long burn going on - just a teensy bit, there may be Just fuel.
P: Yes, I think we're dumping either fuel or oxidizer overboard. It slows down the combustion.
CC: Gemini-5, we'd like a voice report on that storm there that's off the northeast coast of South America when you go over Carnarvon, or across the States the next time.
CC: ECOM wants to know if you just turned your radar on.
C: Radar is on.
C: Right .... cockpit, we even frost over the inside of the cockpit slightly when we roll fast, and when we stabilize slow, everything seems to warm up.
CC: Well, that's novel, isn't it?
P: Yes, our breath would freeze on the windshield last night when we were rolled up, and been rolling for quite a while.
CC: Gemini-5, Houston. Do you think that it was just the rotation of velocities causing the moisture to go out toward the window, or were you actually breathing on the window?
C: We finally had both suit circuits shut completely down. No flow, and the flow on each of the suits was down almost to zero.
C: I finally was freezing so bad - Pete was finally comfortable - that I had broke out my wrist band and put them on to stop the flow out of the wrist area of the suit, and that seemed to warm up my suit up to the level of his, anyway.
C: The gage has been broken ever since very early. However, the reading, Pete has a reading here he took with our wet ... ball.
P: It varies about 10 degrees - in the center of the cabin it will go from 79 down to 72 or 71.
CC: Okay, I've got you. I think we're getting IDS. CARNARVON
CC: Give us a m-wk when you start.
P: MARK No. 2.
P: AIl right, check complete. Commencing No. 1 on my mark. MARK. No. 1 oxygen started.
CC: What we're interested in is if you saw anything breRk_ng away and moving toward the northwest.
P: Well there were several smaller cells breaking off from it down at the edges, but we couldn't tell whether they were moving completely away or not. It was a big widespread storm. We couldn't see any eye to it but there were some smaller cellq that were sort of separated from it, that were kind of out to the edges of it.
CC: Roger. that,
P: What was Carnarvon? TX?
C: You guys can have the rest of the day off. We'Il see you tomorrow.
CC: Right. We '11 be going home shortly.
C: Have a little of that Swan Lager.
CC: Will do. I'11 have one for you also, and Pete-- HAWAII
CC: Gemini-5, Gemini-5, Hawaii CAP COM.
P: Go ahead, Hawaii, Gemini here.
CC: Roger, we'd like you to hold off on powering down that Section 2 until we get a look at the data. It ,11 take us a few minutes. We ,11 give you a call before DOS.
CC: Be advised you'11 have a medical data pass at Texas on the Pilot. AOS at Texas is 17:44.
CC: It's on the Command Pilot. Co--,-ndPilot
CC: Gemini-5, did you copy that on the over Texas?
P: Is it the Co--nd Pilot or the Pilot?
CC: Cnmmnnd Pilot, Pete, I'm sorry.
P: Okay, 17:44 on the Co,w,nnd Pilot over Texas.
CC: Is Gordo doing any exercising?
P: I hope to shout; he's upside down in the food box for something, to repack some stuff. Ha ha ha.
P: As a matter of fact, we're up to our ears in gar- bage now.
CC: Okay, we'd like you to power down Section 2, leave the Control switch on, Power switch to OFF, and then turn off Pump A in the secondary loop.
P: Okay, No. 2's off and Pump A in secondary loop's off.
CC: Roger. CALI_OBNIA
CC: Roger, Gemini-5, Houston here. I'd like to s,_mmar- ize our view of your position at the time. We'11 go through it a step at a time here. On your thrusters we feel that the thrusters aren't working, are probably cold. And they're not working because they are cold, and we think possibly they're cold because those individual heaters are not working. Of course, we don't have any exact way of confirming this. We think that because they are, the cold is the problem, we would like to have you damp your ... a little more often and start dmmping it before they build up too high a rate. That way we'il get a little more activity on the thrusters that we are using and keep the temperatures on those up a little bit. Now if we do have any problem with the thrusters that you still have left, and we see that they're starting to fail, we have some other proce- dures that we can go through that are a little more complicated, but we feel that should keep them warm. Now on the fUel that you have remaining, we want to still conserve it as long as the hydrogen tank is venting because we want to be able to always damp out the rates that you build up so that we don't get into a really high rate setup. But we are planning on tomorrows we're tentatively setting up a flight plan that will allow us to use the remain- ing fuel to accomplish some of the experiments. And what we're thinking of right now is that D-4/D-7 needs a few more measurements to make it really complete, and the ones we're thinking about most of all were the sun measurement which, of course, would land-to- be last. Measurements of the mountains, and water interfaces, over land with vegetation. We also want to do some S-8/D-13 and if the fuel's available we'11 ,_ke one pass over Woodley tomorrow and one over Laredo. That should give us some in- formation on the Visual Acuity Test. We'd also like to work in the track over Mexico tomorrow on the S-5 if at all possible so that we can get the ... pictures across that area.
CC: The fuel cells, it looks like the hydrogen is starting to--the venting is starting to taper off and it's running pretty much as predicted where you're really going to be fat on hydrogen if it does taper off at the predicted rate. The water production looks by all estlm,tes now to be low enough under the rate that we're producing it now so that it shouldn't be a constraint on your flight and you should be able to go on to 8 days. I think that pretty much s,,mm,rizes our viewpoint of your position. Do you have anything that you would like to know Or that you might add to this?
P: Yes. What's the TR - 12:11 or 12:217
CC: Just a second, I'11 get ... so busy.
CC: I'11 give it to you in elapsed time. It's 44 hours 15 minutes and 19 seconds. 18, 17, 16, 15.
P: I 'm with you .... the garbage through.
P: The Hawaii Surgeon called and wanted to know if Gordo was exercising. He was upside down and tried to pack the ... down.
CC: Well listen, don't get your foot stuck in the food container.
CC: We'd like to have you place the Cryogenic Gaging Switch to ECS O2, please. _XAS
CC: Pete, this is Houston here. I'm getting worn out too, I guess. Would you make sure that Gordo has the temperature probe in his mouth. We're not getting anything down here.
P: Okay. He just got back turned around; that's our problem.
CC: Okay. Do you have the Cryogenic Gaging Switch to · ECS 02?
UNKNOWN: Oka_, we'd like to have you place the Cryogenic Gaging Switch to FUEL C_LL 02 now, please.
P: At D-5 we didn't get the S-7. At 16:26:OO we saw the storm but we were not in a position to photo- graph, and we gave a report on what we saw.
CC: Okay. We've got your report from Carnarvon and understand you were not able to take a picture.
P: Yes, but we did get the S-7 at 17:43:00.
CC: Okay, very good. We'd like to have you take and put your Cryogenic Gaging Switch to FUEL CELL Hz now, please.
CC: Okay, would you put your Cryogenic Gaging Switch back to OFF, and the Flight Surgeon would like to have a word with you.
CC: Gemini-5, we have a valid oral temp. We're stand- ing by for your blood pressure.
CC: Gemini-5, your cuff is full-scale.
C: He said he was exercising for the last 35 minutes.
P: Exercise ...
CC: Cuff full-scale. Gordo, while that's being done, could we get your water report?
C: 29.3 pounds. We're just finishing a meal right now which we'11 have on here.
CC: Either of you having any trouble with plugging your nose? Pete sounded a little bit that way here earlier today.
C: Very much, but I think we're better now. We had Meal 4B. We just finished.
CC: 4B, okay.
CC: Gordo, are you having any trouble with these rates? Have you had any sort of symptoms at all with the rates?
C: No, no symptoms, it's just, you know, every time you try and see anything out the window it's whipping by so fast, and then when you let anything loose from the spacecraft it doesn't hang there. It whips over to the side, of course.
CC: Roger. Well, looking at all the data, Gordo, for this period of time now after almost 148 hours, we haven't seen anything in the rates that would con- cern us at all as far as rates or blood pressures ere concerned. Your overall heart rates are tending to get somewhat lower. You're tending to stabilize out at low rates, which are really resting rates, which is pretty well what we'd expect. The same thing is sort of happening with blood pressure, and we think everything looks real fine down here as far as going the whole way. Are you having any sort of feeling that it's more difficult for you when you do exercise? Does it feel to be more effort now than it did earlier in the flight? COASTAL SENTRY QUEBEC
P: Roger. We're GO up here. I'm ready to copy.
CC: Okay. 96-3, 21:41:35, 14 plus 53, 20 plus 07, 97-3, 23:16:51, 13 plus 36, 18 plus 55, 98 Delta, OO :10:08, 20 plus 45, 26 plus 25, 59 Delta, 01:41:33, 26 plus 05, 1OO Delta, O3:16:30, 19 plus 40, 04:53:53, 18 plus 06, 23 plus 22. Do you copy?
CC: Roger. And Houston would also like to know if the exercises you are doing seem to be harder to do now than at the beginning of the flight. Over.
P: No, why, does it look like that on you data?
CC: I really don't know--
CC: Houston advises negative, it doesn't look like that on the data. They're just curious, I guess.
P: Okay, let me know if we're getting weak ...
CC: Gemini-5, CSQ. There's nothing further. Standing by.
P: Roger. Gemini-5 standing by. Thank you, have a good day.
CC: Gemini-5,CSQ.
P: Go ahead CSQ. I put my transmitter off.
CC: Roger. Flight would like to know why the Pilot is not asleep.
P: Because the Command Pilot is occupied.
P: For a more accurate report, the Corem-ndPilot is unable to come to the phone right now.
CC: CSQ copied.
CC: Roger. Houston would like to know if the score is now 2 to ,3 or 3 to 1.
CC: Gemini-5, this is Hawaii. Be advised to turn on your HF after Hawaii LOS to REV Acquisition which is 19:29:41. Station MCCH will be broadcasting.

CC: And we'd like to get your experiment status over the last 24 hours if you have that available.
C: Okay, I better pass that on to the next station. It's not quite yet available.
CC: Gemini-5, REV. Everything looks real good here on the ground.
C: Okay, mighty fine. Looks real good here.
CC: Roger, we were noticing it on the ground.
CC: Were you able to null them out pretty good?
C: Roger, have them all nulled out now.
CC: Very good then. COASTAL SENTRY QUEBEC

CC: And CSQ is standing by for experiment status.
P: Roger, experiment status--this will be the status as of what we did yesterday?
P: We did no D-6 camera work, but on the D-6 Sequence No. 135, first pass, we were not in view of ... Second pass, we did it to the right direction but didn't see anything.
P: Before we shuttered we got a 417 and a 418.
P: And a 6, ... and a 5 4 3 ... and a 7. -.. .. D'l/4' that was mostly one sequence. Mostly Australia. We saw the smoke go ... miles but we were in the wrong attitude to observe at passing overhead ... with the ... except we may have gotten the 7_- picture that they wanted.

P: ... more photographs with the 35"""with the other S-5/S-6 ... would be in the category. But these are not listed as experiments.
CC: Roger. CSQ has you GO on the ground. Have nothing further. Stand by.
CC: Gemini-5, this is Hawaii CAP COM. We hold your system Green on the ground.
P: Hawaii CAP COM, Gemini-5. Go ahead.
P: Roger. We're Green up here.
CC: Gemini-5, Hawaii CAP COM. Would you give us the eryo quantity readout, ECS 02 first, please?
P: Roger. I heard him ask for fUel cell, ... fuel cell. Say, would you and Flight work up a list of stations, we are, our ... has changed enough now that we are off the Flight Plan that we have here and we weren't expecting to hear from you.
CC: Wilco, we'11 make one up.
CC: Roger, Gemini-5. We'11 do that.
P: I want the Flight Plan and maybe a little update as to the ACQ times that we could correct in the Flight Plan that we have. Okay?
CC: We'11 give it to you at the RKV this pass, Gemini.

CC: Gemini-5, CSQ would like to take some ground read- ings of your cryogenic quantities. Would you select ECS 02 on your Quantity Read Switch, please?
C: Roger. You have it.
CC: A]_o, Houston advises we'd like you to null rates before reaching the RKV in order to warm up the thrusters. Do not use thrusters 7 and 8. They also suggest that you null rates every 2 to 3 hours of a duty cycle for the thrusters. Over.
C: Negative. The venting seems to be keeping on about the same.
CC: Fuel Cell 02 position, please.
CC: Gemini-5, do you have your suit temperature control turned down?
C: Roger....
CC: Okay. Fuel Cell H2 position, please.

CC: Okay. We'd also like to advise you that if while damping your rates in the future if you notice another thruster failure or if you notice any more sluggishness than you've noticed to the present time, to just terminate your damping and inform the next site. But Flight has some alternate pro- eedures that you might try in that event.
CC: Do you have any sort of a report over that tropical depression?
P: I saw that we passed right over it. It is a rather large storm with heavy cumulus activity. We could see air-to-ground lightning even in the daytime. And it does have an eye.
CC: Can you estimate the size of it?
P: It was a couple hundred miles across, I guess.
P: I have some S-8/D-13 scores for you.
P: Okay. At 06:21:20 we ran a set and Conrad had nine wrong, but the M-9--Conrad had 95, 98, 97, 98, 98 . Cooper had 90, 91, 92, 92, 92.
CC: Okay. Got it.
P: Then we ran another one at 07:01:45 and the Pilot had nine wrong; CommRnd Pilot had six wrong. Command Pilot's M-9 was 91, 91, 91, 91, 92. The Pilot's was 96, 97, 95, 95, 96.

C: Roger. I got it all. Those ... bank angles. Thank you very much.
CC: Roger. We'd like to know what sort of tumble rates you are experiencing up there.
C: Roger. We have very very slow rates now. I got them damped down a little earlier and we're just very slowly oscillating--and I 'm not oscillating-- just ...
CC: Gemini-5, REV CAP COM. How do you read?
CC: Okay, stand by for m_ mark in about 4 seconds or so; in fact, right now.
CC: As of 03:24:39 you started your lOOth revolution and congratulations are extended to both of you from all the flight controllers throughout the world.
C: We just have 22 orbits to go here.
CC: That's right. Only 22.
CC: Incidentally, if you'11 turn on your HF receiver following this test, we'11 send your way about 15 minutes of uninterrupted music.
C: That would be very, very nice. Thank you. quite
CC: You're welcome, I'm sure.

CC: Gemini-5, this is Canary CAP COM. We would like to know how many S-7 photos you have taken so far.
C: Roger, Canary, this is Gemini-5. Just a minute, then I'11 look.
C: Roger, we didn't get the last group ... attitude. Over.
CC: Roger, understand you did not get the last group due to attitude.
C: Yes, we got one more coming up here that we'11 try again.
CC: Okay, we'd like to know the total number that have been taken.
CC: Okay, we would also like to know the number of subjects that you have photographed.
CC: On the 8-7.
C: Ali right, we've taken 26 exposures on S-7, and approximately 9 different subjects. Over.
CC: ... we have some AOS times for you if you're pre- pared to copy.
CC: Roger. Flight would also like to know if you heard the HF transmissions between RKV and Canaries.
C: 2fas,sure did. It was very nice.
C: Okay, go ahead on ADS times.
CC: Roger, Canary Islands, Rev 102 would be 06:50. Carnarvon, Rev 102 will be 07 hours 26 minutes.

C: Go ahead, Art. Check ... RKV, Gemini-5.
C: Can you wait for about a minute?
CC: NSC-l, 05:24:00 start time. End time 06:25:00.
CC: I 'd like to give you a little information so you can have it ready for Canary.
CC: We would like for you to have a wet and dry bulb reading ready·
CC: And we'd like for you to get a temperature of the window, the ... around the window and temperature of the blotter, about i inch east of window.
CC: Would you cycle your Quantity Read Switch to the H2 position, please?
CC: I 'd like to have the amount of time remaining on D-4/D-7 your report, if you have it.
C: It's, I believe, at 16 minutes ...
C: We got one more sequence of Test 7 pictures, 04:18:01.
CC: Roger, understand, one more sequence No. 7 photo- graph.
C: Roger. That's S-7 experiment, Sequence 1.
CC: Sequence l, Roger.
CC: You may place your Quantity Switch to the OFF Posi- tion.
CC: We'd like a little more detailed evaluation of the HF music from RKV to Canaries on the last orbit. We would like to know if you noticed any fading, any dropouts of anY kind, and if you heard voice in the background sometimes as well as music.
C: Naturally, we heard a little voice and then once ·.. switch down there, we heard a little voice and I imagine there was a little bit of fading but not bad at all .... think it was pretty good.
CC: Roger. Understand. CONFIDENTIAL 557
CC: Did it drop out completely at anytime?
C: Yes, it finally dropped out. Not just completely, it gradually died down as well as CW over ...
CC: Gemini-5, RKV CAP COM. Everything looks good here on the ground. We have nothing else for you. We'11 be standing by.
C: Okay, very fine. You want that wet and dry bulb for temperatures and so forth for Canaries on this pass.
CC: That's affirmative. Both the wet and bulb, wet and dry bulb and the temperature report at Canaries.
CC: Their acquisition is 05:16.
C: Roger. I have that. CANARY ISLANDS
CC: Gemini-5, this is RKV CAP COM. Standing by for your report.
C: Roger, RKV, everything is Green here.
CC: Everything looks good on the ground.
C: Roger. Are you ready for the temperature report?
C: Wet bulb temperature is 64 degrees.
C: And the best I can tell the window, the window fr-me, and the padding around the window are all right at temp 74 degrees. Over.
C: Anything else you need?
CC: Negative, that's about it. Thank you much. We'11 stand by.
CC: Roger. I guess I called myself RKV on that first call.
C: Okay. I figured that's what you had done.
CC: Gemini-5, RKV CAP COM. your
CC: Roger. We have all systems Green on the ground. We'd like for you ... your Quantity Read Switch to the Fuel Cell E2 provision program.
CC: Gemini-5, you m,y return it to the OFF position now.
CC: We have nothing else for you this pass. We'11 be standing by.
CC: Roger. You're looking good on the ground. I 'ye got a couple of requests for you. When you damp your rates, the next time you damp them or at any time, would you please turn on your rate gyros so we can get some data on the rates and the rates dur- ing your damping? Copy?
C: Roger. We copy that.
CC: Okay, and then you can turn the gyros off after you get through dsmping the rates. And would you dsmp try to over the States on the 103rd revolution so that we can get a real-time readout on the ground as you do your damping. If you can hold off until then we would appreciate it. Your Texas AOS on the 103rd revolution is 09:41:45.
C: 09:41:45, right.
C: It'il vary from time to time, but we're still vent_ ing, and if you let them vary, they'11 build on up to 11 or 12 degrees per second.
CC: Roger. And about how long does it take them to build up to that rate?
C: It takes quite a while and all-in-all it stayed much on one axis; of course, it was split between the axes. It won't stay with one axis purely.
C: Mostly yaw, yes.
CC: Okay. Well, we figure that you're just about ready to stop venting now, so if you get a stop on it you could give us the word.
CC: Do you want to continue to receive the station acquisition timeB, or would a Delta-T ttme. differential from your Flight 1_An be acceptable to you?
C: Just the Delta t4m- would be acceptable.
CC: Okay. Well right now you're running about 19 mt-uten later than your Flight Plan. In other words, your acquisition at this station according to your Flight Plan was about 06:14 and you ac_,-lly came over about 06:38. try daEping on the lO,rd revolution over the States, right?
C: Okay. We've been using the rate gyros each time the damp went ...
CC: Okay. Real fine. We can get the data on that and that'11 help them analyze what the rates are doing.
CC: G_mt-t-5, Houston here. Act-,-lly, I got a correction on your Delta-T. It's re-lly 24 minutes, not 19; 24 minutes later than the Flight Pl-n.
C: All right. 24 _utes later.
CC: Roger. You were supposed to be here at 06:14 and you're here at 06:38. Fine.
CC: Gordo, in regard to the radar, I understand you ran nc_e tests this morning to check for SPADATS inter- ference. Did you get any lock-on lights when you were operating it this morning?
C: No. Not that T noticed.
CC: Roger. Are you pointing toward the ground at the present time?
C: Yes, Z am.
CC: How about turning on the radar for me right now and just take a brai* a minute or so waxY-up and stand by and turn it on and see what we get here. Just for a quick check and then Just turn it right back off. I'm interested to see if you get a lock- on here when you really shouldn't.
C: Okay. You want me to ... stand by?.
CC: Just put it on STANDBY for 30 seconds or so, or a minute, and then--
C: Okay. It's in STANDBY.
CC: Roger. and warmed utD
CC: Okay, after it's for 30 seconds or a minute here we'11 put it on and Just see if you get a lock-on. We're contemplating another Radar Test today as you come across the Cape looking at the pod on the ground, trying to repeat the good 1--t We results you got Sunday. noticed that the only thing we can really see is a difference be- tween that and the subsequent ones we've done is that the platform was not on that first time, so we're planning to try to do another one today with the platform off Just to see if we get good range readouts -nd to see if they will go into the computer in the Rendezvous Mode like we tried to do the other day on those other two tests.
CC: I think we've probabl_ had enough warm-up here now. Why don't you turn it on and see if you get a lock-on light?
C: I'm pointing right at the ground now.
CC: Okay. Do you get a lock-on light?
CC: Okay, fine. Well, when we lose LOS here, you can Just turn it on back off.
CC: There is still no lock-on light, I prestone?
C: Is the h2drogen going to last us?
CC: Oh, yes. No problem on t_At, Gordo. We're well ahead. The reason it's still comtng down lfWe this is that we're not using it as fast as expected, and that's why it hasn't stopped venting yet. But we're in real good shape. The tightest thing is going to be this water stor_e Cal_city, and it looks like we have a pad of about 3 to 10 pounds, something in that region, at the completion of your 8 days, so I think we're in real good shape.
CC: Did you copy, G_mt_t-5?
CC: I wu] Just going to say the water storage capacity as is the only thing that was r_ally tight, but I _ntioned, we're in good shape on that. We'11 have about am extra, say, half a day or something 14ks that. CANARY ISLANDS

CC: Roger, understand. Looks good. Everything looks good on the ground.
C: Roger. Looks good here.
CC: Okay. Be advised that during your experiments use no fuel. We don't want to use any fael until we look at it a little longer. If yom --_ perform the experiments, go ahead, but we'11 maWe another evaluation on Rev 107 over the U.S. as to fuel usage. Okay?
C: Okay. I think that's a pretty good idea because I can ac_,-lly detect it going down in the little bit of damping I've been doing.
C: Our rates are ... here this last orbit. Okay. Fine.
CC: Understand. We're going to give you a power-up procedure at Car_A_von or either over the States during the updates. We'11 include it in the experi- ment updates, and this is to use some H2 later on over the States to try and slow the hydrogen venting down. And we'11 pass it to you later.
CC: And we have a workout today. I'11 give you the procedures now and we'11 give you the go ahead on performing it prior to the test. It'11 be done in the 106 Rev and it will require fuel, so do not perform it until we give you the go ahead. BERMDDA

C: Go ahead, Houston CAP COM. G_,_ni-5.
CC: Roger. We've got a Blight change in this power-up procedure on the fuel cells if you're ready to copy.
CC: Okay. Instead of turning the Rate Gyros, Platform, and Computer on at 12:00:00, we would like to turn the_ on at 12:40:00. And this will give the mode a chance to stabilize before you turn them on. Copy?
CC: Okay, and your D-4/D-7 over Car_von last time, that was correct. That was the time that we wanted to perform the experiment. So you were okay on that.
CC: Okay, real good. We want to change your medical data pass at Canary again. You have one on the Canary Pilot at on this pass. We would ]tke to change that to Guaymas, and the acquisition time of Guaymas is 11:12:09.
CC: G_m_ni, Houston here. We got a change on a change. We want to leave the one at Carney. Okay? And the acquisition time on that is O9:59:3k. Okay, we want to change the one that was supposed to be at Carnarvon on the Cn-wm_udPilot on the next revolution after Guaymas. We want to move that back up to Guaymam at 11:12:O9. You got it straight?
C: Roger. Okay.
C: You got ,11 the calibrators going down there on the hydrogen?
CC: Watching it ltkea hawk, Gordo. We're watching it real close and we're expecting it to stop venting at any time, but even if it doesn't, projected presentrate curve at the would show you completing your mtssion with about 4 percent r_w_ning.
C: Okay. It hasn't stopped venti_ up here yet.
CC: Roger. You still notice it slowing down, you think?
C: No. It se_,, to be going just as fast as ever.
P: The curve that I have, E11tot, showed it leveled out. Then this morning on the next pointer I put on it, it showed it turned down again.
CC: Well, we show that for the last 15 hours or so it's been a relatively straight line, and if you project that to the completion of the mission, you'11 have about 4 percent left. And we're watching it care- D,11y. We're expecting it to quit venting at any time, and that would level it off even better.
C: stop
UNKNOWN: bees expecting it to venting for two days.
CC: Well, act,,-lly,it's supposed to stop venting at about 15 percent quantity r_w_, and that's about where you are now.
CC: If you can believe it, there are so mazy charts and graphs down here that I think Elltot has the display saturated.
P: I can believe it.
CC: Just a point there, G_,_ni-5. The curve that we were working with at the start of the mtssion would have shown us a considerably lower at the present time, 7 aown around percent, so you would have re,11y been sweating it out if that had been the case, even more so.
CC: I didn't think you had that one before the flight, the one with the curves in it. That is the one with the expected venting rates. I thought that only was drawn here after you got launched.
CC: Based on your advanced information, when do you think it's going to stop venting?
CC: Well, if you notice, if you really do have this curve, you'11 notice that it actually breaks at about 15 percent, and that's when the venting should stop, and that's just any time now.
CC: As I see it, your tightest thing is your water storage capacity, and right now it looks like you'11 have something ltke 6 pounds r_w_4ning at the end of your mission. That's about a third of a day pad, something 11ke that. Half a day pad, maybe.
C: ... water readouts you've gotten from ttme to time?
C: That's based on the water readouts you've gotten fram time to time or Just an estimated water production rate?
CC: That's based on the water readouts plus the Tank A readings we get by telemetry and because those give us the most pessimistic calculations, the production rates based on the prelaunch values are running considerable higher than that. But we think probably these water calc,,1-tionsmight be more accurate. At least we've got to believe the_ because we don't know anything better than that.
UNKNOWN: You might give me a water readout at the present ttm_ for both of you if you happen to have one-- the
CC: --both at same time rather than staggered.
CC: 61 pounds at the present time. Roger. Thank you.
C: That's conservative. Itm sure we've drunk more than that.
C: Yes, I say that we're betr_ conservative on our dri_g estimate.
CC: You mean you think your n,m_rm are low or high?
C: Probably a little low. I think we probably have drunk slightly more than what we have here. I think our sips have been bigger ... increased pressure with the ...
CC: Well, that's interesting. How much have you been m_king for each gulp?
C: We've been w_-king one ounce per gulp.
CC: Well; when you measured it back at the Cape you were running 0.83 ounces. Do you th_nW that one ounce is about correct?
CC: Okay. That's what we've been counting on. You shook us up for a minute. Just for your information we feel that even if you ran out of water storage capacity, you could go for about 13 hours. That's parti-lly extending the fuel cell usage until the m_mbranes are drowned out and then going onto batteries after that. So I think we're in real shape. good
CC: Just remember where that parachute switch is.
C: Got it marked.
CC: I understand there was a bee in the window at lift- off. Have you ever seen any more of him?
C: No, but there's been ... between the panes here.
CC: Is he still flying?
C: Yes, he's still flying but he's not very -14ye, I don't think.
CC: You're looking real good down here, Gordo.
CC: Understand they already played our music for you.
C: Right. We got that down in the remote region last night. Sounded real good.
CC: I was saving that for the GO/NO-GO today. We might give you another shot on it.
C: Okay. We can always stand a little shot now and then. It didn't come through too clearly, so we'd Just as soon have it again.
