CC: Roger. Okay. Platform Test No. 2 configuration. It's the same as Platform Test l. Procedure is as follows: Point at Southern Cross and take one photo. Should be on horizon. Next, point at Pollux and take one photo; should be Venus.
P: Point where?
CC: P zero, Pollux_ Pollux. Do you copy?
P: Roger. Next point at Pollux and take one photo.
CC: Right. That's it on the platform test.
P: %fnat's the time for Platform Tests 1 and 2?
P: What are the times for Tests 1 and 2?
CC: Okay. That's next on the Flight Plan update, Pete. I'11 start that now.
CC: Okay. Title of this is Platform, 12 hours 40 min- utes, OO seconds, Remarks, power up. Okay. Next is D-4/D-7, 12:50:00, Sequence No. 408. Next is, next one is Platform, 13:lO:OO, Remarks, aline SEF. Next is S-8/D-13, Time 13:32:46, Sequence No. 03, Remarks, pitch down 30, yaw left 2 degrees. Next-- Are you copying okay?
CC: Okay. Next, Medical Data Pass, 13:47:01, Remarks: Command Pilot at Canary Islands instead of Carnarvon. Next is Platfo:rm, 14:00:00, aline SEF. Next is S-i, Time is 14:18:36, Remarks; Sunset time. Next is D-6, 15:08:56, That's Sequence No. 021. Mode No. 08, Re- marks; pitch down 30, yaw left 2 degrees, speed 60. We've got about 30 seconds, Gordo, left and I've got about halfway through this thing. We'11 pick you up later. I'11 go ahead and give you the next one. D-6 is 15:13:51, Sequence No. 134, Mode No. 08, pitch down 30, yaw O, Speed 125. Do you copy?
CC: Okay. That's about it. We'11 have LOS any minute now. We'11 pick up the rest of these next station.
CC: Ali systems look good on the _round. TEXt3
CC: Gemini-5, Gemini-5, Houston CAP COM. Over.
CC: Hello, Houston CAP COM. Gemini-5 here. Go ahead.
CC: Roger. I have a continuation for your experiments update. Are you ready to copy?
C: Ready to copy. D-4/D-7,
CC: Roger. The first one will be 15:59:OO, Sequence 409, and 410 Bravo. Next one is a Platform at 16:15:00, aline SEF. Next one is power up at 16:20:OO, radar and rate gyros on. Next one is D-4/D-7, 16:37:24, Sequence 423 Alpha, Mode 08, pitch 30 down, yaw 42 left, speed 60. Next one is c_nputer, 16:45:00, power up. The next one is a radar test., 16:46:O2, Sequence 09, pitch 30 down. yaw 07 left. The next, your test will be complete at 16:55:00, radar off, aline SEF. Next one is a platform test, at 17:05:00, Sequence 01. The next one is the other platform test, at 17:21:43, Se- quence 02. And we have a change on the starts. It will be Venus instead of the Southern Cross, and Fomalhaut instead of Pollux. Next one is S-8/D-13, at 18:16:14, Sequence 03, pitch 30 down, yaw 22 left. The last one is a power down at 18:25:00, computer off, platform off and rate gyros off. Do you copy?
CC: Roger and would you turn your radar off now please _.
C: Roger. Radar off.
CC: Okay. You look real good here on the ground. Do you have any questions on the experiments?
C: No, I'11 tell you we've got a full day; I hope we get them all done.
CC: Yes, it should bunch you up a little bit sometimes, but we try to plan them so you have time in between. If you have any questions as you go along, just ask and we'11 be standing by.
C: How's the weather back there in Houston?
CC: G_mini-5, Houston
C: I say, how's the weather back there in Houston?
CC: Oh, it's real nice. Just hot and sunny as usual. No rain in particular; every once in a while a little thunderstorm.
CC: Say, we've noticed that the temperature up there is a little cooler than we expected. How is your cora- l ort ?
C: Cold.
CC: Cold_ huh? Have any rain up there?
C: We're taking the inlet hose off our suits every once in a while to warm up. We've got quite cold.
C: I wish you'd tell Joe ... I'11 have to eat crow on that. We had the suit set down on a full-hot posi- tion, we had both suits closed down a bit before and we still get cold.
CC: Roger_ understand.
C: I guess both those coolant loops really did it.
CC: Roger. BE_$4UDA
C: Hey, Houston, G_mlni-5.
CC: Gemini, Houston. Go.
C: Roger. For your information, the relative h,_m_dity has been running around 56 to 59_.
CC: Roger, understand. 56 to 59.
CC: That's nice and dry.
CC: Wish we were up there.
CC: Wish we were Llpthere.
P: Yes, but another day or two I'11 be glad to trade with you.
CC: You got a deal.
CC: How many peanut tubes have you got left?
P: Haven't found any yet but we're collecting an awful lot of stuff.
CC: How much of that stuff are you having left over from the meals?
C: Hey, Elliot, Gemini-5.
C: What's the deal on the hydrogen? It seems to be going down fairly fast.
CC: Yes, it's venting now. We expect it to be going down pretty fast. We're watching it very closely. It's following the predicted curve.
CC: Gemini-5, this is Houston Flight.
CC: That's just about exactly the way it was predicted prior to lift-off. There's been hardly any differ- ence and so we can't measure the difference between preflight predicted and what we're getting right now.
CC: Gemini, your 02 pressure's around 115 now in case you' re interested.
C: What temperature?
CC: No, your oxygen pressure is around 115. You've done real well pumping it up there.
CC: Did you notice a difference when you had the fuel cell shut down and only the one coolant loop running? Was it a lot better than?
C: Yes, you could sure tell the difference and we could also tell the difference when we power up.
CC: We're going to be putting a lot of power on with some of these tests here shortly so that'11 warm you up.
C: What do you think of acquisition here in about another minute?
CC: G_mlni-5, this is Canary CAP CO_. We have nothing for you this pass. Everything looks okay on the ground.
C: Roger_ Canary. Gemini-5 is GO up here.
CC: Gemini-5 _ Carnarvon. We have a valid oral temp. Stand by for the Surgeon.
CC: G_mlni-5, Ca_wlarvon Surgeon. Standing by for your first blood pressure.
C: Roger. C_ing down.
CC: Your cuff is scale.
CC: We have your blood pressures. Standing by for your exercise on your mark.
C: Roger. _.
CC: You_ cuff is full-scale.
CC: And we have your second blood pressure. On your food report, if you could, give it to us by day and letter and_ if you remember, the items which you did not eat in either meal. Over.
C: Okay. The ... of the water is 15 pounds ...
C: Eight ounces and I'm presently eating Meal _a and I have pretty well been eating the rehydratables and not the solids.
CC: Sleep report now.
C: I slept about 4 hours last night in hour periods and I slept about 2-1/2 on the 2-hour nap period.
CC: Roger. An_ftbing else to report?
CC: Roger. Carnarvon Surgeon out.
CC: Gemini, Carnarvon CAP COM. What is the position of your suit temperature control valve?
C: Roger. I give you a number reading. It's just off No. 8.
CC: Is it full--clockwise? Full-warm?
C: No, not quJ.te.
C: We were last night. It gets pretty cold in here with two cooler boosters running.
C: Our suit temperatures run down aro_md 44.
CC: Roger. Copy 44.
C: We've got them running up around 50 right now.
CC: Gemini, be advised if that temperature control valve is in the full-clockwise or full-warm posi- tion, it should cut off the coolant.
C: Yes, I think we discovered that.
P: We' re GO up here.
CC: Roger, Gpmini. You look real good down here also. We had a visual sight of the booster which has fol- lowed about 8 minutes, about 15, lO to 15 minutes ago.
CC: There's a correction on that. It's got 36 minutes ahead of you.
C: How's everything going down there? We keeping you busy?
CC: Very busy. Got up this morning about noon. The piano player at the board got us up and we had a delicious meal at the ... Hotel and then came to work.
P: Roger. Give my best to all my friends down there, please.
CC: Will do, Pete. They send you their regards also. They mis s you.
CC: We're about a minute to LOS.
P: Roger. G_mtni-5 standing by.
CC: G_m_ui-5, Gemini-5, Houston CAP CM. Over.
CC: G_m_ui-5, Gemlui-5, Houston CAP COl_. Over.
C: Go ahead, Houston. Gemini-5 here.
CC: Roger. You're looking good here on the ground. We'd like to get a number of readouts from you for correlation with our T/M data. First, could you give us your cryo-quantity readout in all three positions please?
C: Roger. ECS 02, 7 percent, 790.
CC: Roger. I understand 87 percent and 790.
C: Roger, and Fuel Cell 02, 91-1/2, 100. 91-1/2
CC: and lO0.
C: Hydrogen is 82 percent, mavbe just a notch above that. Make it 82.5 and about 785.
CC: Roger. 82.5 and 785. Next eou2d we have your OAMS source pressure and temperature, please?
C: 0_S source is 50 and 1550.
CC: Roger. 50 and 50. And your OAMS regulator pres- sure please _.
C: No OAMB regulator pressure; the temperature is 50 and the pressure is 1550.
CC: Roger. Understand 50 and 50. And next the _CS Ring A source pressure and temperature.
C: I say again. The OAMS source temperature is 50; the pressure is 1550.
CC: Roger. 50 and 1550.
C: Roger. Go on to your _CS Ring A, temperature is 65, 290.
CC: Roger. Temperature 65 and 290 pressure. Okay. RCS Range Rate.
C: 63, 285.
CC: 63 and 285, and your propellant quantity please.
C: 40 percent.
CC: Could we have another read on your OAMS regulated pressure please?
C: Roger. You're keyed.
C: Hello, Houston?
C: The OAMS regulated source pressure: 1550.
CC: Gemini, could we have your regulator pressure, not your source pressure, your regulated pressure.
C: Roger. Sorry. Fuel is 50, 300.
P: Anything else, Houston?
CC: Yes. Elliot want to talk to you about the H2 here.
CC: Pete, I'd like to give you a little further brief- ing on what to expect on this fuel cell hydrogen. As you'11 notice, you've _sed about 20 percent over the past three days and you can now start expecting a rate of about 23 percent per day until you get down to about 25 percent remaining, and then the curve will flare out there and decrease at a slower rate and it's a little bit unknown at that point. We'11 kind of have to wait and see how it goes down in there as to just exactly what it will behave like. We are venting now, and that's why it is g_ing down so rapidly.
P: Okay. Now, would you give me some more brief in- formation on this Radar Test 09? You want us to ac- quire the first time in the Rendezvous Mode or should we be in Catch Up for acquisition?
CC: You can be in Rendezvous. That's okay. As you ap- proach the target, you can have a readout going on 69 and it shouldn't, as I understand it, it shouldn't change until you actually acquire the target and start reading out same range; and then once you get a range readout you can start into your cycles.
CC: Good morning, Pete. How are you this morning? Mz'.
P: Fine. Who's that? Kraft?
C: Morning, Chris.
CC: How are you_ Gordo?
P: We discovered one thing. Gordo's beard's white.
P: Don't kid him, Boss.
CC: You're doing a great job up there.
C: Getting over to these next State passes, we look
C: I wish you'd tell John Yardley I really was wrong.
CC: Yes. That's one of the reasons we want to power-
C: That would be great. Both of us have been sitting here shivering all the last few hours.
CC: Did running that suit temperature up to full-warm help out any there, Gordo?
C: Barely. Got :iton full-warm but if you run it com- pletely to fu_l-warm, it shuts the flow completely off.
C: Yes, but aren't we apt to get a little too cool on the radiator vent that way?
P: Okay. We'11 turn her clear off then.
CC: They're monitoring the coolant loop temperature here on the ground and they'11 let you know if it gets too cool.
C: You should have seen our act last night, having all the nuts and bolts and screws rebuilding that re- ticle.
P: Okay, the time is 3 days 12 hours 10 minutes. Our inadvertent circuit breaker turning off last night in OAMS Regulator Control with P_0P circuit breaker was probably due to keeping the water gun fastened up there on the overhead. In discussing that and looking up there, you see that fastening the gun up there has been chipping the gray paint off the switch breaker guards. So we don't think that's too good an idea any more, and we keep the gun in the holder back in the back. CAN_ IST_S
CC: Gemini-5, this is Canary CAP COM. I nave notiting for you this pass; everything looks good from the ground. We' re standing by.
P: Roger, Genlini-5. Thank you.
P: Let's see; the time is 3 days 12 hours 21 minutes. We are setting up for our Stateside passes_ and reviewing the fligklt plan they sent up, we're go- ing to have everything we own out in the cabin - trying to shuffle gear.
P: Let's see; the time is 3 days 12 hours and 40 .min- utes. At 'this particular sun angle I've got smme sort of--
P: Crud on the inner pane of the outer windshield.
P: Yes_ and I can see it all over. It's all over the inside. It's not on the outside. How about yours'?
C: No; mine doesn't seem to be that bad; I've got some.
P: But I can't tell which pane it's on.
P: On the D-6 pass, on Dallas , if you can get that airfield right in the center of that sight and track with it, it really comes up in the Questar. Now yesterday, the Naval Air Station in Dallas - waen I had it in there - only half the runway fill- ed the whole picture. So you can see how big that Questar is blown up.
P: So if you can really get on there in the same way with the ship--
C: Yes, but apparently the reticle is boresighted pretty good, because on the moon and star measure- ments we made_ when I get right on it, you're on it too.
P: Oh, yes, yes, boresight seems to be very good be- tween the blob, the telescope_ and the ...
P: The time is 03 days 47 minutes. The ICS power supply is on, and we're getting ready to power up the platform and we're getting ready to do D-4/D-7 408 over Carnarvon.
P: The time is 03 days 12 hours 50 minutes. Acquisi- tion with Carnarvon, platform is powered up, stand- ing by to do the 408. C_RVON
P: Hello, Carnation, Gemini-5 here.
P: Roger, We're GO up here. We're GO on 408. The platform is powered up in the Cage Mode SEF, and IGS inverter ON.
P: Are you ready to receive our D-4/D-7 data?
P: Okay. We'11 give you a mark when we've got it in the right place.
C: It's black sky.
P: It's black sky.
C: Okay, Big Daddy, we're right on the black sky in line right now.
P: My night vision is getting better all the time ... on the Milky Way. You got it? Okay.
UNKNOWN: Okay, you can mark this time as the time to take data. And I'11 cycle through the Cryo Read Switch for you.
P: Okay. Do you mind if I turn up the light?
C: No_ go ahead. You can turn it up.
P: Roger. The eryo reading onboard is 86_ 790. Fuel Cell 02 91'_, 100.
P: Hydrogen 8L%, 790.
C: You know, I'm really serious about one thing. T:_at doggone M-ZL thing just bothers the beck out of me.
P: Roger. Well, listen, why don't I turn it off your next sleep period to see how much noise it makes with it tuzmed off?
C: I think it still makes the same noise. I don't t inink--
P: I don't think it does it as many times, though.
C: Oh, it doesn't matter how many times that it aoes it.
P: It's just that it does it--
C: It's just that every time it does it, it just wakes me up_ just BAM, like--
C: I'm going t;o put in a real strong recommendation to t"_ke Shaky and Frank that they don't it unless they redo that thing, because I told those guys that I thought that it was too noisy months ago.
P: Yes_ you're right; it really makes a lot of noise. I didn't realize how much it made. Especially seeing how quiet it is in here.
P: Even when I mumble in the mike and you're asleep, I know it wakes you up.
C: Yes_ sometimes it does. No, not usually; it just depends. Like if I'm just trying to get to sleep and can't--
P: When you've got that long spell there, 45 or 50 minutes between a station, you can usually get powered down pretty much.
P: There's no doubt about it, though. I think another thing that helps was putting these polaroid filters in the window and cutting that sunlight [iO%rfl.
C: Yes, those polaroid filters are really great.
P: Because now when you keep it out of your eyes and when you Just have the goggles on and the sun hits yo,zr face, the temperature jumps about 10 degrees on your face.
P: Carnarvon_ Gemini-5_ Would you give us a call at LOS minus i minute, please?
P: I guess that's the southern end of Australia_ isn't it?
P: What are we seeing there? Are we seeing some Northern Lights out there on the horizon? Look at that. I mean, not Northern Lights, Aurora.
P: Yes, but it's all jagged over here on my side. L_n-huh.
P: it's not airglow. I think it's the Aurora. Ca_n you see out my window right where my finger is pointed?
P: _, you can't see that far.
C: You see how bright it is out mine _. Where you can see how bright the airglow is out mine.
P: Yes, but that's not what I'm seeing over here.
C: Oh, i sec..
P: Okay, the time is 03 days 12 hours 59 minutes. We're passing over Australia and I have a very jagged line--
CC: We have 1 minute to LOS.
P: Roger, Carnarvon, i minute. Thank you.
P: .Ve're going to secure the D-4.
P: I believe i'm seeing some Aurora, and the Aurora is under located right Canopus ia a straight line down through the Magellanie clouds, and it's very bright--
P: No, i can't distinguish any color except that it is very bright and it's sort of a greenish color if anything; and it's changing, it's brightening a_nd d_mming and it occupies about 15 degrees across the horizon.
C: You've got to yaw faster, because we'11 be leaving it pretty quick.
P: Okay, you should have Canopus over the nose. Can you see Canopus?
P: All right, now pitch right down fram where you can see the horizon.
P: Yes, that's the Aurora. You see how jagged it is? You see how it's disrupted the airglow?
P: As a matter af fact, that's very interesting. Look, the airglow actually slopes up; I mean it gets black. You see that?
C: No, I think what it is, is that there are clouds under the airglow elsewhere, and maybe this is just clear right in here.
P: Yes, but that's Aurora. It's changing. And it's sort of green. Don't you agree the color is sort of green?
C: I think that it's just that there aren't any clouds underneath the--
P: No, thatSs Aurora.
P: Well, it's a very unusual discontinuity, and I haven't seen it before.
C: Well, it's on the ground. That's actually the ground on the horizon you're seeing there, i think then you're fading on to where there are same clouds _%dcrneat_ this other place; which kind of tend to raise away--
P: No, now look at that' Now it's just a smooth green demarcation all the way across'
C: Maybe you're right. Maybe--
P: Yes, that's Aurora: You see how it changes? Look, we're passing over Sidney right now. I can see Sidney and Australia, and there's nothing south of here but water:
P: There's Sidney down there, bright as day'
P: Okay, now did you see the Southern Cross and Alpha and Beta Kentaurus? They're up real well aha we're not going to have any strain--You're going to have to roll left 120 degrees; after that, pitch up keep- until ing the horizon in sight you see Achernar, and then move up till you pick up Grus and Fomalnaut for the S-l, next revolution.
P: Now we're going by New Zealand. I can see it.
P: That's A urora_ bigger than heek. Now it's gotten real small a_ain_ but it's still there.
C: Yes_ i relieve you're right. I think it is--
P: And it's a very decided green, now that I got the red lizht out and I've been adapted a little longer.
P: Yes. There are a couple or three towns down there_ aren't there?
P: Okay, I got the red light back on; we can get back on the flight plan here.
C: A good point here that I'd like to record, that Pete has just made:,is that these power and utility and telemetry plugs are almost impossible to hook up at night. They're very miserable. They don't have a proper detent to lock in right, and you have to fid- dle around with them a little too much. The
C: main trouble with this reticle - strictly for Wally's purposes here - is that the reticle picks up any kind of light in the cockpit very badly. Just multiplies it by mAny angles.
C: Yes, but now you've picked up my little red light over here. That's the point that Pete just made. It's been made many times before and should be re- iterated. Because of the poor lighting conditions and changing light condition and also this scum and crud that is on the window, when you're going into or cQming out of a day or night or vice versa, you're just cc_pletely blinded at that point,
P: Okay, the computer took a full 25 minutes to came on the line.
C: The platform.
P: The platform, excuse me, the flatform took 25 min- utes to come on the line. Must be very cold.
P: Current for the tape. We're doing a platform aline at night with the reticle in the window and firing the pitch-up thrusters. Makes quite a bright illum- ination off the reticle there in Gordo's eyes and also I can see it quite plainly.
C: Comment for the tape. We're alining the platform going right into the sun now, and I really notice lot of film on my windshield. It selma to be on the inner side of the outer pane. It seems to be getting a little bit worse as the flight goes along. GUAYMAS, MEXICO
CC: Gemini-3, Guaymas CAP COM.
C: He£1o. G_laymas, this is Gemini-5 _:ere.
CC: Okay, we'd like you to bring your computer uo in Prelauncn the Mode at this time.
C: Roger, the computer is in the Prelaunch Mode.
CC: Okay, here's what they're going to do. They're going to update a 47-1 load in a T R over the States. Over.
C: Roger, a_ld we'11 give them our GO readings here after we pass Laredo. veI_;
CC: Okay_ good.
CC: We'11 stand by if you need
C: Comment for the tape. We're coming in over bright sunshiny land and clouds. I have the unmodified without the other resistor type thing in the thing, and I'm able to see the reticle reasonably well. It fades a little over the bright clouds.
P: Tape on, and I believe that we have the smoke gen- erators from Laredo site. Yes, I'm positive we do see it loud and clear, the smoke. The next thing is: Will we see the target?
C: Yes_ we'11 see it, Pete.
P: Okay, what you want to do is put the sight right on the smoke and keep _itching.
C: I don't think that's it, Pete. No I think it's fu_ther _wer here to the right.
C: Oh, heck'
C: I'11 be darned if I could see them that time.
CC: Gemini-5, Gemini-5, Houston here. Go ahead.
P: Roger. Would you tell us whether the Laredo site was making smoke?
P: Okay, we had the smoke, but we could not pick up the squares. As a matter of fact, we had the smoke fram about 200 miles out and we tracked right on the smoke and never picked up the squares. Now the sun angle is pretty bad for the pass altho-gh the pass was right smack over the site.
P: And we had no trouble tracking it. We had no trouble picking up the smoke, but we did not see the squares, either one of us.
CC: Okay, Pete. I'11 check and make sure that they had the smoke and I'11 give you that information over the Canaries. Okay?
CC: As a matter of fact, we'11 try to get it for you before you leave the States.
P: Roger, are you ready to copy our GO for the onboard readings?
P: You ready for our onboard readings?
P: Okay, the main bus is 26.0 volts, and the iA stack 9-1/2. current is 8.1, lB is 8.0, lC is 2A is 7.02 2B is 6.9, 2C is 8.5.
P: RCS Ring A is 65 degrees, 295 is the pressure. RCS Ring B is 60 degrees at 285. Secondary 02 Left is 5400, Right reads 5300. We're GO for the 47-1, if you are.
CC: Roger, you have a GO.
P: Pitch down' Here's Houston, right down there: Here, I'11 get it' Take the picture' Take the pict ute:
CC: You're GO for 62-1.
C: All right, let me get it. I'm changing the con- trol mode.
P: Roger, we got a GO frc_ you. We were just whistling over Houston here; wanted to get some pictures.
CC: Okay, I've got some other information here for you. You don't have to bother acknowledging most of it.
CC: We'd like to have you be aware that we want you to do a medical data pass on the Cnmm_nd Pilot over Canaries.
P: We've got that. Have you got an AOS time?
CC: Roger, it will be at 03:13:47:01.
CC: We'd like to know what condition you're in with the suit gloves and helmets. Do you have the gloves and helmets off or on?
P: Oh_ about the time you gave us a GO pass 6-4, we took off the helmets and gloves and we haven't had them on since.
CC: Okay_ very good.
P: Gordo's not wearing the cuffs on his wrist, and I am, and that's just because I got used to it. The relative humidity has stayed down around 565 all the time so we feel we're in good shape that way.
CC: Okay, how about the neck dams?
CC: Roger, are you wearing your neck dams?
P: That's affirmative, we've been wearing the neck dams the whole time.
CC: We'd like to know if you're staying warm now. Do you have the cooling under control?
P: Yes, our problem is that the temperature really doesn't change in here too much, but when either of us go to sleep, we're just not putting out too much ourselves and we really chill down.
CC: Yes, I noticed that a little too. Listen_ one thing I want to tell you about, don't worry about turning the coolant off in the cockpit; we've got sc_e excellent T/M on the radiator outlet tempera- taxes and we'11 keep you advised if they go down. So don't worry about turning off the coolant to the suit loop or the cabin loop.
P: Okay. Boy, Florida is really clear today; I can see Jacksonville and all the streets in it and the Cape and all the way down to Miami.
CC: Verst good, very good.
P: It's rea:Lly pretty out there today.
CC: Can you give us a couple of general comments on housekeeping? Are you keeping the stuff under control?
P: Yes, but we're going to have a lot in the end. I'a like to tell you right now I've got three airols_nes in sight; counted off Jacksonville.
CC: 0h, very good. .le'11 run
CC: a separate Visual Acuity Test here.
P: Yes, I may not find that target, but we're seeing loads ... of other things.
P: Now we're keeping the housecleaning under control, but it takes a great deal of time.
CC: How's that bag wor_ing out behind the seat, Pete?
P: It's full.
CC: Already?
P: Yes;
UNKNOWN: gear that has other places to go later.
CC: Oh, okay. Be advised you've got a good 47-1 load in.
CC: Al_e you having any trouble with those blue bags?
CC: Gemini-5, Houston here,
P: GO ahead, Houston.
P: Houston, Gemini-5. Do you want us to leave the computer up?
CC: Gemini-5, Houston here. You can go ahead and power down the computer now.
CC: Okay. Has Gordo been doing any chest testing exer- cises or anything like that to keep in shape?
P: He's been pulling the bungee a couple of times. I haven't done any other than medical passes, although I stretch out and put quite a press between the floor and the seat a couple of tlm_s in order to keep fit.
P: ... cnmfortable.
CC: You say you are comfortable?
CC: Yes, pretty nice floating around, isn't it?
CC: Hey, listen, you were a big singing star on televi- sion last night.
CC: You were a big singing star on television. You've got requests for thousands and thousands of copies of that song you sang.
C: I want to report on that 16 pounds and 4 ounces of water. [Last night, I had about 2 hours of sleep during my nap period, and about another 3 hours sleep during mV long sleep period.
CC: Roger, ... Canary Surgeon. Could you give me an estimate of the quality of your sleep? Also Houston Surgeon inas asked us to get food reports on you.
C: Roger, the quality of our sleep was better in my short nap period that it was in my long sleep per- iod. It was quite easier in my shorter sleep per- iod. The food I just ate--3A was the last one I had. 3A was the last meal I just had at O3:12:30:00.
C: Okay, go ahead, Canary. please2
CC: Would you repeat that This is Canary Sur- ge on.
C: Roger, Meal 3A was the last meal I had, at day 3, that's today, 12 hours 30 minutes OO seconds ....
C: Does that salmon ever smell strong in this small caoin:
CC: Gemini-5, Flight advises that over Laredo the smoke was at the northwest corner of the target approxi- mately 3000 feet long.
C: Roger, thank you very much. We saw the smoke ... back there and we assume it was the northwest cor- ner. We were unable to see the target. I think probably due to the sun angle.
P: Notes for the tapes. Time is 03 days, 14:OO:00 and on the updates frc_ the ground on the D-6 are 15:O8:56. On the Sequence No. 08 they sent up a time of 1/60 second and my book says 1/125 second, and I take that to be more right than the update. I question also the speed they sent up as 1/250.
C: Now I'm going to try and get that checked out before we do it.
P: Okay, the tape is on. Time is 03 days 14 hours 13 m_uutes, and we're ccm_ingright to 90 degrees and going to pitch up 20 with O degree roll to c_mence the S-1 experiment. The S-1 experiment is mounted in the window. I'm standing by for O4:18--
P: We've got--
C: I've got them right now. I can see that ...
P: 3 minutes.
C: There's some ... there, let _ see. Can
P: you get on them. I'm in the daylight. I can't see.
C: Yes. There it is. Right there in front of me. OkaV.
P: You're on it.
C: Can you hold that daylight on ...
P: Yes, here; how's that?
P: Okay. I_'m going to start the camera at exactly 14:18:36, which is sunset time.
P: Better dim the scanner light.
C: All these particles flying out.
P: Well of (:ourse they'11 disappear as soon as tLe sun's off.
C: Oh yes.
P: My hands smell good. They smell of cocoa.
P: Oh, that was the ... did it_ boy: That really hit the bottom good'
P: Okay. Recorder's back on. The time is i4:18:15 and the sun is fading rapidly. Boy_ they had this sunset right on the noggin.
P: 4, 3, 27 1, MA_.
C: Tell me when the red light comes on again.
P: The red light's still on.
P: Okay.... taking a picture.
C: Okay .... on. Right on the money, boy.
P: We want to go until 23.
P: Red light is on.
P: Oh yes. You're lined up beautifully. Yes, I can see the stars.
C: ... hang on irkthere
P: You want to tLu_nout your cockpit red light?
P: Okay. Red light's on. You can maneuver.
P: Okay. The red light is still on. You can maneuver.
P: Got enough stuff out here. Hope it all stays down in the bilges.
P: Yes. That's holding good, Gordo.
P: Still taking aopicture.
P: Okay. Red light's on.
P: 5 minutes when the--
P: Still the red light's on.
P: 18:23:36. How am I going to tell the time? It's pitch black in here. 36.
P: No. 23:36 seconds.
P: Okay, It's taking a picture now.
C: The next time the red light comes on, I'11 turn my red light on and check the time.
P: Really pretty, isn't it? Southern Cross and Alpha and Beta Kentaurus up there. Sure is pr_iuent down re. he
P: The guys at Carnarvon will be on in m minute.
P: Yes. It's still taking a picture. I think we're up to about the 2-minute mark.
P: You can t_n on your red light. Check the time. Looking for 23 minutes 36 seconds.
C: Okay. We're at it now.
P: Okay. Leave your light on a second. Yo_ can leave your light on until roll left, 120 degrees. Here_ I'11 read it to you. Roll left 120 degrees. Then pitch up_ once you get roll left 120.
P: Roll left _ill put you approximately on the hori- zon. CARNA/_ON
CC: Gemini-5, Carnarvon. Go ahead.
P: Roger. We're Green up here. Unless you have something for us we're very busy.
P: Okay. Give me a call before you do it because it'Il ruin the camera in the window when the light's on.
P: Okay. Now pitch up keeping the airglow in the lower left part of your window. Pick up Achernar.
P: Now, we're Just leaving the Southern Cross now, aren't we?
C: Yes. Okay ....
P: Okay. When you get to Achernar, pitch up until you find Grus.
P: Carnarvon, G_m_ni-5. You can report to Houston that the first part of the S-1 went extremely well.
P: We're in the process of moving to the second phase of it right now.
C: Coming through Magellanic clouds. There's Achernar. right.
P: Okay. Yaw
P: There's Grus. Beautiful, beautiful'
P: Okay. Now.
C: ... roll on ...
P: Here, take m quick look. Line up the cross into Grus.
C: ... pointed up towards Fomalhaut.
P: That's right. Where did it go? Oh, there he is, yes. I see him right now.
C: Oh, yes.
P: ... excuse me. Hit the wrong switch.
C: It's on tape.
C: Boy, when that comes on--
P: Yes, Carnarvon, can you update our TR now?
CC: Negative. I have about 15 seconds, then I can.
P: Okay. We are just getting on it and we will be taking good pictures again here as soon as you can give us the TR .
CC: Okay, about 10 seconds.
P: Okay. We're taking a picture right now.
CC: Transmitting the TR.
P: Okay. Now listen, Gordo's taking a 2-minute picture which is fouled up; so take your time, get on well, even though this picture is fouled up, because maybe we were still maneuvering when I started taking this picture. So that's ruined as far as the thruster firing goes. Boy, that worked really well, didn't it?
P: We couldn't have done it with the platform.
C: ... I'm not qp_iteon. I was on but I drifted off.
P: You've got plenty of time. You've got better than 30 seconds.
P: That looks good from here. I don't know how it looks from over on your side.
C: Yes, we're right on it ...
P: Okay. Better than BO seconds so you can kill the rates down real good.
P: Still better than BO seconds.
P: You don't suppose this thing stopped running, do you? I have't seen a light for a long time.
P: There it goes.
P: Okay. You got 30 seconds now and you got every- thing killed down good and we're going to take our first good picture.
P: Boy 2 minutes se_m_ like an eternity on this thing, not being able to fire a thruster.
C: ... go on all night without an ...
P: Trying to see if I can see the ... I guess I can't.
C: I see some kind of a light over here, but I suppose it's the Magellanic clouds.
P: I sort of see something out here. But I can't tell bunch whether it's really just a of dim stars or not. I think I'm imagining it.
P: Hey, you got that thing killed down good. We're holding right on there.
C: Yes. Fairly well.
P: Just drifting a little. Boy, 2 minutes is a long time!
P: I'm going to shut the tape down. We've got all we needed to know off it. We're on good.
P: Okay. T_oes on at 14:42:00 and we're still taking pictures. We have a little bit of a roll rate yet, so we're going to fire the thrusters through this picture, whatever the one is. Out. HAWAII
CC: Gemini-5, Hawaii CAP COM. All systems are Green. Experiment, As soon as you've completed your S-1 would you contact us please?
C: Roger. Will do, Hawaii.
P: Okay. We ended the experiment at 03 days 14 hours 52 minutes, and we're going to try to get ready for our D-6. Tape off.
P: Hawaii, Ge_nini-5. We've done the S-1. Would you please check the speeds with the camera with the 1/125 D-6. I believe they should be second rather than 1/60 second and 1/250.
CC: We want to delete that D-6 anyway. We've got a weather problem.
P: Both of them?
CC: Negative. Delete the D-6. The ttme is 15:08:56.
C: Okay, that's the one over Texas.
P: ... listen with this Quester lens, tell them we're going to pick a good site somewhere going across the U.S. and get it.
P: Because we're in the process of rigging for it; we'11 be rigged for it for the one off the coast.
CC: They're working up the settings, Gemini.
C: Right, we only ... says 1/125.
P: Hawaii, Gemini-5. Do you want this Section i and 2 purge?
P: Coming up right now.
CC: Roger. Give me a mark.
P: Roger .... hydrogen purge co,_encing--
P: ... purge. Hydrogen complete. Commencing No. 2 hydrogen purge. On my mark.
P: No. 2 hydrogen purge complete. Stand by for oxygen purge No. 1.
P: Commencing No. 1 02 purge.
P: Now.
CC: Gemini-5, we're comin_ up on LOS. Those settings for your camera are 1/125 and 1/60.
C: Hawaii, we'11 get the_ next ...
P: Entry for the tape. Remind me to get these switches changed for the next guys on these purges. About to break my finger off purging. GUAYN3_S
CC: Okay. They'd like you to put in one 1/60 and one 1/125. Can you do that, Pete?
CC: Okay. That's what they'd like for you to use. 1/60 1/125.
CC: Okay. That'11 be and
P: Roger. CORPUS CHRISTI
CC: Gemini-5, Gemini-5. This is Houston here. When you have time give us a call. We've got some in- formation for you.
CC: Okay. We'd like to have you put your Cryogenic Gaging Switch to Fuel Cell (>2.
C: Roger. }_el Cell 02.
CC: Okay. Are you through with your D-6 so I can give you some other stuff?
CC: Okay. We'd like to have you put your Calibrate Switch to No. I position for 10 seconds.
CC: I'd also like to tell you that your target for your next D-6 will be going up track so that V weight will be downstream.
C: Roger. D-4/D-7 background measurement whenever you're ready to copy. I also need your GO for that over Carnarvon. I'd like to have you tell Carnarvon whether you're ready, whether you will be ready to do it or not.
CC: Okay. First put your Calibrate Switch to No. 2 for 10 seconds. Okay. Here comes the D-_/D-7 update. Your new time is 03:16:37:28, pitch 26 down, yaw 38 left.
C: Okay. Got that.
CC: Okay. They're updating your TR over Texas and Bermuda so you'11 get a couple DCS lights and stulT.
CC: Okay. They're both at the same time, 03:16:17:37. The map is 162.5 degrees East. The star is 01:17:_9.
CC: Rev h7. You can place your Cryogenic Gaging Switch now. to OFF
CC: Okay. That's all the information I have. Why don't you go ahead with your D-6 there_
C: Worked out okay, I think.
P: I gave Gordo a "well done" for tracking test. I think we really got some good ones.
CC: GOod. BERRRTDA
CC: G_mini-5, Gemini-5_ Houston here.
C: GO ahead. Gemini-5 here.
CC: How'd you make out on your D-6's?
C: Roger. There was quite a lot of cloud out there, and we saw one ship with a wake. I don't really think it was him. We spent a picture on it.
CC: Okay. Did you pick up anything across the States with your other D-67
C: No. It was pretty solid undercast and it's all out West.
CC: Yes. That's why we scrubbed it because of the bad weather.
C: Yes. It's pretty solid down there all the way from the coast on it. Houston was the only area that really looked ltke it was open.
P: Houston, Gemini Flight. Do we come anywhere near Austin next pass?
CC: Well, looks like you might be a little bit north of it there.
P: Okay. Over.
P: Yes. They were when we went by but we were too close in to yaw off and get him.
CC: Okay. I'11 take a look at that and see what we can do. You know you're going to be pretty busy next pass anyway.
P: Flight, we'11 pick them up tomorrow. Maybe the weather will be better.
C: Okay. The tape is on and the time is 03 days 15 hours 56 minutes and we're preparing to do D-4, 409, 15:59:00 over Carnarvon.
C: Tape is on and time is 03 days 16 hours OO minutes. Acquisition at Carnarvon and we're transmitting the 409 D-h/D-7. CARNAEVON

C: We're on secondary
C: On the SEF.
P: 16:38:28. At that time you should be 26 down, 38 left.
P: Yes, yes. Okay.
P: Okay. I've got the IR all set. The only thing I have to do is turn on the recorder. I need to get 16n_ncamera film for this.
P: At 15. We're not there yet.
P: Oh, that secondary scanner's doing great. I hope it's still running 8 days from lift-off.
C: You know that, Big Daddy.
P: Primary roll gyro. Prtmary pitch gyro. Primary yaw gyro. Radar to STANDBY.
P: Would you turn up your light and read me that Radar Test once? I think I got it. Will you fly here in RENDEZVOUS, get a radar reading, go to CATCH UP for one second and back to RENDEZVOUS. You're just going to track it. Is that right? And I'11 switch in and out everytime we get a reading.
C: Yes. I'm just tracking. You switch in and out. an Your readout's 69, so you get update on it. Yes. on.

P: Computer ON. And then at ... Pilot radar lock 30 degrees down, yaw 7 left.
C: 26 degrees down, 38 left. This is the radar.
P: No, 26 down 38 left is for the m4ssile.
P: And 30 down and yaw left 7 is the radar. I'11 give you the radar again.
C: And we're alined right on the money, looks like. HAWAII
CC: Gemini-5, this is Hawaii Surgeon. We have a valid temperature. Can we have your blood pressure please?
CC: We have a good blood pressure. Give me a mark when you begin your exercise please.
P: Blood pressure coming down.
CC: Gemini-5, Hawaii Surgeon. _]l-scale.
CC: We have a good blood pressure. Standing by for your water report.
P: Roger. It's still the same I think as it was this morning - 16, 4 ounces. I still haven't eaten any- thing since the last meal, which I think was 3C. Comm-nd
CC: Okay. Real fine. Are either you or the Pilot having any problemwith temperature now? Are you fairly comfortable?
CC: Okay. Have either you or Gordo been doing any shivering on the last few revolutions, or any exercises? We've noticed just checking on your respirations here there's a few sprinkles on it, and we were trying to figure out why that was happening.
CC: Were you shivering on the last revolution or two?
P: The last one revolution has been good but several before that we were probably shivering.
CC: Roger. Everything else all right up there?
P: Still fine.
C: The Pilot's working up a,big appetite, I can tell you that.
CC: This is Hawaii CAP COM. For your Experiment 423A, there's a small cloud deck that extends from 700 up to llO0; it's west to southwest about 2 miles east of the site.
UNKNOWN: Roger. 3._e'reready.
CC: 1]qey're still counting on time.
UNKNOWN: R rdnus 5 and counting.
P: Recorder is ON. The time is 3rd day, 16:33:25, standing by for D-4 423 Alpha. We are pitch down 26 degrees, yawed left 38 degrees. Questar is mounted; the speed setting is 1/60. The Rod 2 is ON, iR power transmitter's ON_ the 16mm camera's mounted_ and [_ican just see clouds on the water %ea,utif_zlly on this Questor lens:

P: Yes. AIl you got to do, Gordo_ is stick that reticle on it.
UNKNOWN: Yes, that looks like the end of the cloud deck, and _'see the California coast coming up.
C: We ]_:st might ] lek out here yet.
C: 34:45.
C: Radar's to STUBBY.
P: Okay. I'm going to bring up the computer ON at ]6:45.
P: Let's see. We got everything done that pass ...
C: T_mre's the California coast coming up. CALifORNIA
CC: Roger. The cloud deck over the site now is solid. It goes to broken about 5 miles to the southwest of the site, and it goes clear about 2 miles to the east of the site.
CC: Okay. Very good. And they're GO there.
C: Okay. We're in position and waiting.
P: Boy, I wish we could get on it; this Questar lens is fantastic '
C: If we don't get this this time, will you stand out- side and wave so we can get your picture as we go by?
CC: Oh, Roger, yes.
C: If we don't get this you can stand outside and wave and we'11 get your picture as we go by.
C: What's the time he lifts off?
P: 16:37:0C is recorder on. 16:37:28.
P: Let's see, he's right under that cloud deck, right there.
P: Give me--I got my own count here.
C: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, MARK.
P: Recorder's ON. IR power transmitter's ON. RAD 2. Right film in the camera.

P: I can still see himl He's coming out over the water
P: See him? There he is over the waterl See him?
C: Yes. I'm on him.
P: Okay. _ere he goes_ See him way out in front?
CC: Second Stage.
C: Okay. I'm on him.
P: Okay. We can see him real goodl
P: Oops.
C: Look at that con.
P: We can still see his con very, very clearly down there, even against the cloud background.
P: Give us a call when you want the computer ON.
CC: Yes, tell us when you get through there, we'11--
P: We're through. Recorder OFF.
CC: You all done? Okay, we'11 go back to this other stuff now.
P: Oh, there he goes. Up through the thing.
P: Well, you can Just see a trail going up.
P: ... higher.
C: Yes. We can see him going above us.
CC: You say he's going above you, right?
CC: Okay, Roger .... The computer power up time is 03:16:45:00 and you can power it up before then by a couple minutes if you like.
P: Okay. We were hoping to find something down here for the D-6.
P: Okay. Computer coming on to PREIAUNCH. TEXAS
CC: Hey, congratulations on that last one. I had my doubts about it.
P: What have you got down there - E1 Centro or Yuma or one of those?
C: It was loud and clear.
P: The thing that we saw was the engine burning against the white clouds first.
CC: Oh, yes? Were the clouds a help or a hindrance?
P: Hey, there's E1 Paso right there' Can you swing right? Or White Sands' Wait a minute, we're getting White Sands. Get HollomAu.
P: Beautiful' And there's the sled track:
C: Yes. Ha, ha, I'm on him, man:
P: Get him, bear. Don't let him get away: Boy, ... Holloman right now and I can see--the runway fills the whole Questar ...
C: We're tracking the Holloman air strip. We're well--
CC: Oh, very good. Okay, I got you. Did you get a picture of that other thing? them.
P: Yes, got about six of
P: Okay, now let's pitch up quick and back to--
C: Hey_ there's another little airport there.
C: You're too late. We're already past it now.
P: Boy, you get somebody else right out in here, and we '11 nail them.
P: Hey, there's Fort Stockton and the test track down there by it: How about that?
P: Listen, we could get Austin this time. There's Lake Austin right there.
C: Yes, it sure is.
P: Man, that runway was that big in that thing'
C: How did you like that tracking task?
P: That was beautiful'
C: Nailed him'
P: You did' That's great' That's tremendous: There's Austin; no, that's--what in the heck's that? San Antonio.
C: I think Austin's going to be right in under that cloud.
P: Yes, I'm afraid you're right. There's San Antonio.
P: No, there's Bergstrom_ See it out there on your right, up? See it?
P: Stick it right on there. Okay. Beautiful.
C: ... pulse.
C: Okay, what else will we get here?
P: Now we've got to get the Radar check. Pitch right back, 30. Okay, we got Bergstrom that time too.
CC: Very good. Sounds like you're getting caught up on D-6.
P: Yes, I hope so.
P: Okay, we're going to 30 pitch down, yaw 7 left and we're standing by for the Radar.
CC: Okay, fine. You got that procedure all s_,_ed away, haven't you?
