C: Roger. Ready to copy.
CC: Okay. _ If you see the common control bus drop below 20 volts at any time, stop the test i_mediately. And remember that fuel shortage. Flight wanted us to remind you.
CC: Okay. We have one more here. When you close the prop valves holding the hand controller, you' re probably going to get all the fuel out of the manifold, so you'11 have to watch that. It ,]1 give you a slow start on your next try with motor valve open. Watch it for any big bunches of fuel.
P: Do you have any Dl_ns to continue what you said there?
CC: Oh, okay, Pete. If you see, when you're holding the hand controller open, if you see fuel coming out, it's just evacuating it between the motor valve and the opening. So the next time you try to start i%, get it heated up and it will start. It's going to take a time for it to start because there's no fuel in the lines. Okay?.

CC: Good morning to you.
C: Good morning. How are you?
CC: Fine. Would you like to have me review what the initial far downrange needle deflections mean as as the bank angle for you for this particular orbit, or are you pretty familiar with it?
C: As far as 30, 60, 90.
CC: Roger. familiar as--60
C: I'm very with it as far degrees is the nominal would with the footprints and 30 degrees show you're beyond your footprint. A deflection of 90 degrees would show that you are targeting the thumbwheeLs down heel. towards the
CC: Roger. What I was referring to exactly wn.s that for your initial downrange def!ecsion on your needle, if it deflected full scale up, it would require zero bank angle to get there. If it shows no downrange deflection, it's roughly 45 degree b_d_gKangle; and for full downrange short, it requires about an initial 75 deg_rees bank angle.
C: Okay, those are lower scale readings, rig_ht?
CC: Roger, and that's pretty nominal. It's just about right in the middle of ail the other lines on the graph.

P: No, I blew the stick but I couldn't hear it.
CC: Okay, very good. O;d_S
CC: I'm not showing any lights at ali on my console.
C: Our whole OAMS system is pretty well shot, there aren't many thrusters left, and those that are left are pretty cruddy.
C: We're also indicating below zero on the quantity gage, so I expect everything's in pretty bad shape, generally.
C: We're all set with the platform all alined, and all ready to fly around once more and follow along.

CC: Be advised that by some calculations your water t_xnk for your fuel cells is approaching the full point, and if you get a Delta P light, we advise you not to worry about it, because we've run some tests that indicate that there's plenty of time on the order of 20 hours after you run the tank full that the fuel ceil will still operate properly.
C: Roger. So, no sweat.
C: Those fuel ceils have done very well, haven't they?
CC: They sure have. We've run all kinds of tests on them, haven' t we?
C: Yes, we have'
P: Listen, on the OAMS syst_3n. It was just so sick that there was no sense working with it. I got the information down into thrusters what was coupling what, so you can figure which were bad.
P: And I blew the squib and couldn't hear it, but I did pulse the regulator and it worked.

P: Roger. We'11 put the Computer to REENTRY at this time.
CC: Gemini-5, this is bh_rgeon. I want to check again for sure that we' re in agreement that we will not use Item B. Is that affirm?
C: Tell them we took one for the road.
CC: One for the road. Okay. Gordo, I ws_mt to co_firm again reentry. We've this blood pressure for Pete's use on only time checked the times here, and we see that the that could pressure we'11 be over a site whcre we get any blood prior to the time that you' re on the water would be over Ouaymas, Pete. This will he between 12:35 and 12:40 over Ouaymas. That would be after re%to over Ouaymas, so if you can get one blood pressure at that time, then get the programmer in as soon as you're on the water, and be prepared to switch it back and forth then. _e other item is in postlandin_; remember that if y_l, do have any sympt_m_ at all after bridling of the chute or on the water, be stu_e and pump those calves and get your feet elevated, slide down so that your feet are above your head.
P: I've got the blood pressure roll installed and I have the programmer in my pocket. All I have to do is put it on and pump up the blood pressure, and it goes on the recorder.
CC: Rog, correct,

C: No, that's wrong.
CC: Must have been the sun angle.

CC: Did Dave Scott mention to you the fact that you're going to have a lighted horizon at tgDO,OOO feet on your reentry?
