P: Roger. Would you give me the G_C on 73-2 again please?
P: Roger. We copy.
CC: Roger. We'd like to remind the Command Pilot that he has a medical data pass over the CSQ on Rev 69. I have a time for you.
CC: 03:01:07.
C: Roger. O3:01:07.
P: We just had one of our more spectacular sights of our flight. Coming into the sunset just before you acquired us, either our cryo-hydrogen or our cryo-oxygen tank vented, and of course it all froze when it came out, and it looked like we had seven million stars passing by the window. It was really quite a sight.
CC: Roger. Did you recognize any of the stars?
CC: Gemini-5, RKV. We have Just received your tape dump.
C: Everything looks good here.
CC: Roger. We have about i minute before LOS. We'11 be standing by.
C: Gemini-5, standing by. Thank you.
CC: You're welcome. Over and out. HOUSTON _ TEXAS
CC: Gemini-5, CSQ. We have a valid temperature and have you GO on the ground. Standing by for blood pressure.
CC: Gemlui-5, we have cuff at Cull-scale.
P: Starting exercise. MARK.
P: ... exercise.
CC: Gemini-5, your cuff is fUll-scale.
CC: Gemini-5, this is the--we have a valid blood pressure. Standing by for your sick report.
P: Roger. I have ...
CC: Gemini-5, Houston Surgeon. We meant your water report.
P: Roger. 24 pounds 6 ounces.
P: And I had Meal lC 04:22:00:00.
CC: Gemlni-5, CSQ. Negative and we have nothing further. Standing by.
P: Okay, fine. Thank you. ROSE KNOT VICTOR
CC: G*m_ui-5, REV. Co,mm check. How do you read?
P: Gemini-5, reading you loud and clear.
CC: Roger. All syst_m_ are GO on the ground. I have a tracking pass update for you.
P: Roger. Stand by one.
P: Okay. Go.

P: Okays fine. Thank you very much. COASTAL SENTRY QUEBEC
CC: Roger, we'd like for you to cycle your Cryogenic Quantity Readout Switch through the positions, please, for about 10 seconds in each position, and we would also like to get your onboard readout.
CC: That's affirmative, CSQ.
P: Roger. ECS 02 is 81 percent, 850 psia.
P: Fuel Cell 02 83 percent and 130 psia.
P: Fuel Cell Hydrogen 55 from--stayed under 55 percent, 780 psia.
CC: Houston would also like to know if you have purged the fuel cells between the CSQ and the RKV on the last LOS.
P: ... time, fuel cells were purged at 01:00.
CC: Roger. Understand that is one end of Flight Plan between CSQ and RKV they thought you might have picked up without being notified to do.
P: We did, however, notice the shorter CSQ last time. The jets going into flight ... very large and out planning. and of We checked the pressures it appeared to be the ECS 02 which was up to very high vent pressure.
CC: Houston would also like to know if the running report over the REV in last revolution looked like 068, if it looked like a lot of stars, when it looked like a lot of stars. Was that at sun- set or sunrise after the purge?
P: That was just at sunset and not any t_mp at all during ... purge and what it appeared to be that we had just had a very large -mount of venting going on back there, and we assumed that it was the ECS 02 . They looked like a lot of swallows ...
CC: Roger. That's the same one you reported previously, right?
P: Roger.... we haven't seen it since.
P: Okay. Fine. Th,,k you.
CC: Roger. All syst_mq look good here on the ground.
P: Okay. All fine here. Thank you.
P: All right. ROSE KNOT VICTOR

CC: Roger, G_mlni-5. ROSE KNOT VICTOR
C: REV, G_m_ni-5. Go ahead.
CC: Roger. We don't have anything special for you this pass. All systems look good here on the ground.
C: Ok_V. Gemini-5. Everything looks good here.
CC: Have you had any indications of venting since the last time you reported it?
C: Negative. We haven't had any visual signs of it. We had had a few little indications in the yaw, been yawed off ... some venting perhaps earlier.
C: When we get our rates killed down without ever putting ... I mean they keep building every now and then so I think it's varying a little.
CC: Gemini-5, RKV CAP COM. We have about 2 minutes before LOS. All system_ are good. We'11 be standing by.
C: Okay, fine. Thank you. CANAHY
CC: Gemini-5, this is Canary CAP COM. We are having a tape dump at this time. Everything looks good on the ground. We are standing by. We have nothing else for you.

CC: Configuration - same as 8 plus following: Computer RENDEZVOUS, MDIU address 69, Rate Gyros ON, Scnnners SECONDARY, Questar Mode O1, speed 60 ground, speed 30 stars. Copy so far?
P: No, you're fading in and out - start over.
CC: Okay. Configuration - same as 8 plus Computer RENDEZVOUS, MDIU address 69, Rate Gyros ON, Scanners SECONDARY, Questar Mode 01, speed 60 ground, speed 30 stars. You copy that time?
CC: Gpm_ni-5, did you copy that time?
P: After Questar Mode O1, speed 60, you faded.
CC: Roger. Speed 60 ground, speed 30 stars.
P: You faded again. Say again.
CC: Questar Mode 0l, speed 60 ground, speed 30 stars. Copy that time, Pete? ground,
P: Yes, speed 60 30 stars.
CC: Roger. Procedure, read out 69 until it updates, then switch to CATCH UP for 5 seconds and back to RENDEZVOUS. Copy okay?
CC: Repeat throughout pass. If 69 readouts are bad, Radar - STANDBY for i second, then ON. Copy okay?
C: Let's see, if the readouts are bad, switch to STANDBY for I second and then back ON. Let me write it down.
CC: Ready for more?
P: Go ahead, Just a minute.
CC: Take four photos of ground when radar is bore- sighted. Okay?
P: Take four photos of ground when radar is bore- sighted.
CC: Roger. Aline platform before next dark. During alinement Computer CATCH UP and operate radar in both ON and STANDBY. Copy okay?
CC: That's Just to check it, to get some data points; you won't actually he locking on anything. Okay, further instructions. Point at ... Australis - that's near your zenith - and take one photo. Copy okay?
C: Point at ... Australis and take one photo?
CC: That's correct. This is Just after you get in the dark.
CC: Point at Canopus and take one photo.
C: Point at Canopus and take one photo?
CC: Roger. And this test should finish up our require- ments on the Radar Test program, we hope.
C: Okay, this is the next night side after the one we're in. Is that affirm?
CC: Next night side after what?
C: I said, that's the next night side when we do that?
CC: Right following the Radar Test - that's correct. You'11 get an update on when to do the Radar Test.
C: Okay, will we get an update on when to bring on our platform and radar, etc.?
CC: That's correct; that'11 be in your Carnarvon update later on today.
CC: Looks like we may lose LOS here pretty quick. I've got a couple other quick questions. On this rendezvous ill,rm_uation test that was sent up to you, I think it was probably pretty lengthy. I'd like to boil that down to a much, much simpler test. And do you think you could do something like that for us in a leisure time - we'11 schedule it ahead next day or so - a leisure time and do it without the platform. This would be to get some visual sighting type data or feasibility of a star background for GT-6 type operation.
P: Yes, we'11 really have difficulty doing it without a platform. We're venting fairly badly, at least venting enough that it keeps setting up rates on us while, you know, while we're just drifting.
C: I think we probably wouldn't be getting anything wortl_hile in that type thing; we're going to need a platform to tell where we're at with, you know, to be able to damp the rates.
CC: I see; well, we'11 see how that works out. I'm going to try to write out a very simple procedure tonight and we'11 be getting back with you on that one.
C: Okay, at least I think we'11 need the rate gyro with the needles on that, if not on the platform.
CC: Okay, that's a good point. Another quick comment - we'11 probably lose you very quickly here - the water storage capacity is still in question. We're still working on that one.
C: Go ahead, Canary, Gpm_ni-5.
CC: Roger, G-m_ui-5, if the Pilot is awake, we would like to do a purge.
C: Okay, ECS 02 .
CC: Roger. Would you give me a readout?
CC: We'd like a spacecraft readout on these quantities.
C: Roger. We're reading 80 percent quantity, and we're teasing 845 psia.
C: Fuel Cell 02, we're reading 88 percent; we're reading 140 psia.
C: Fuel Cell Hydrogen, we're reading 52 percent; and we're reading 770 psia.
CC: Okay, we're readerfor your purge.
P: Stand by for hydrogen on Cell i - on my m_wk - MARK. Complete, stand by for hydrogen on Cell 2 - MARK.
P: Okay, complete with hydrogen on Section 1.
P: Starting the oxygen on Section l, starting now.
CC: Okay, while you're purging on the oxygen, Flight has advised that they are keeping an eye on the fuel cell water production. They should have a good hack on that within the next day or so. They think it's progressing approximately normal.
P: The Section i oxygen purge complete - starting Section 2.
CC: Roger, Gpm4ni-5. While you're re,kingthis purge, Flight advises that they are keeping an eye on fuel cell water production. Should have a good hack on it within the next day. Everything nor_-I appears to be on it.
CC: Roger. Would you switch to Fuel Cell H2 please?
CC: Roger. We're about to have LOS here, Gemini-5. Thank you. You can go back to the normal.
P: Roger. CARNARVON

P: Anybody read, GPmini-5?
P: Oh, Houston, Gemini-5 here.
CC: Hi. You look good on the ground. Got any questions? We're stand_ug by.
CC: Roger, but we thought we'd let you get into Carnarvon and get a little rest here.
P: Morning.
CC: Good. Looks pretty good down here, Pete. We've been goLug over this fuel - how _ch power you got left out of your fuel cells - and we think it's coming along pretty well. Kind of tight but you got it there.
P: Okay. We've been keeping track of it here and of course it has been going down pretty fast but we expected this.
CC: Pete, it looks like your tightest constraint is going to be the storage space for the water you produce.
CC: How's that for a surprise?
P: Nothing surprises me after lift-off.
CC: Got any comments about the weather up north?
P: We were talking about that. I don't know, we're going to take a look at it today.
CC: Okay. Been trying to get this water system settled down to see just what our possibilities might be.
CC: Yes, as far as I know they've all been getting T/M. good
CC: Gemiui, Houston here. We've had a little problem with the dump tape and we think maybe the tape's getting a little dirty but it's nothing signifi- cant.
P: Yes, Gordo and I figure we've been up long enough now that, to set that ... on reentry to get brushed up.
CC: We'11 see if we can't work one in for you.
C: Okay. Is this the real thing? I thought we were in the s_,lator all along.
CC: Just pretend like you're in the s_,,,_ator.
P: That's what we've been doing.
CC: Guess you know you've got about 3 hours to go here for a big event.
P: Is that what it is? We didn't know exactly what the t_me was. Could you give us the _?
CC: Yes, I think it's just about exactly 3 hours from now.
CC: We'11 get it for you. BERMUDA
CC: Gemini, Houston. The _ is 13:06:OO.
P: Roger, we copy. 13:06:00. Thank you. and
CC: Do a couple rolls a loop.
P: We haven't got the fuel ...
C: All we've been doing ... is rolling and rolling.
P: We sure passed a big milestone today. We got into the left-hand food box for the first time and didn't find any Christmas presents in the food. thn_h
CC: Have you gone all the way it yet?
CC: Never know.
CC: Have you been in the pouch under the right panel?
P: Yes, we have, as a matter of fact.

C: Hello, Houston, Ge_mini-5.
CC: C_mlui-5, Houston, go.
C: No joy, radar locked up, and the needles pointed and they pointed right at the Cape, but we never did get range reading, and I keep breaking lock and putting it back on and breaking lock and putting it back on, but we never got any range readings.
CC: Roger, that's what we were afraid of. Okay, try and give the other part of the test a whirl when you get over to it.
CC: Gemini,--Houston.
C: Right, Houston, Gpm_ni-5.
CC: Roger. We got a correction to the correction in your D-4/D-7 at 12:05:16. We added recorder ON for 3 minutes to Remarks. We would like to delete that statement now. Copy?
C: Okay. and
CC: Okay, be advised your Canaries medical data acquisition time is 11:55:34.

C: Starting m_ exercise, MARK.
C: Ending exercise.
CC: C_ini-5, Canary Surgeon, your cuff is full-scale.
CC: Gemini-5, we have good blood pressure again. Stand_ng by for your water, food and sleep report. pounds
C: Roger. I've now had 25 5 ounces of water. I had Meal 3]3at 05:09:00:00; I had approximately 3-1/2 hours of sleep last night.
CC: Roger, we read all that. Is that your total sleep for the past 24 hours? Over.
C: No, just in the last night period.
CC: Roger, Canary Surgeon again. Houston is asking if you can give us a total for the past 24 hours. Over.
C: About 4-1/2 hours, I guess.
CC: Okay, G_m_ni-5, we have nothing more for you. You're looking good here from the ground. We have about 2-¥2 minutes to go of pass time.
C: Okay, real fine. CARNARVON
P: Roger, Carnarvon, Gemini-5.
CC: Roger. We'd like to have you place your Quantity Read Switch at ECS 02 .
P: Roger. Carnarvon, are you ready to copy a little problem?
P: Roger. Our yaw left No. 70AR_ attitude thruster is out.
CC: Roger. I've got a continuous indication here on the ground of the OAMS yaw left thruster.
P: Okay. Well, it's not working at all and we powered the radar down and powered down the gyros and powered down everything but the platform. Standing by to see what Flight wants to do.
CC: Roger. Would you care to FC--quantity read FC 02?
P: Carnarvon, we've got one other thing. The OAMS temperature has been running really cold up here, and we noticed this morning that the system was sort of sluggish all over and so we turned the heater back on at this time, about 5 minutes ago.
CC: Be advised Flight copies the problem and they're taking a look at it now. They'11 let you know.
CC: Flight advises that they'11 keep an eye on this thruster problem and watch it with the OAMB heater on and see what happens. They'11 advise you later.
P: Okay. Well, we don't intend to do any more of the experiments unless they want us to because we're down to about 12 percent fuel.
CC: I'd hold off on the experiments. They'11 get with you again on it.
CC: Gemini, Carnarvon. Did the thruster stick on or off?
P: It stuck off. It would not fire and we've isolated it to the No. 7 thruster, and it will not operate.
P: Did your indication of the No. 7 thruster go off now?
CC: It's on now. It was on the first part of the pass, went off and came back on by the time you started tal_ing.
P: Okay. You say it's back on now?
CC: It's on now.
P: Okay. I've got the circuit breaker open now.
CC: Turn your circuit breaker back on. Okay, I lost indication.
CC: Have you tried to back up electronics?
P: Yes. We'11 bring you up to date. We tried Secondary ACME Bias Power, and Secondary Attitude Drivers and Secondary ACME Logic.
P: With no success.
P: I just opened the No. 8 circuit breaker and it checked No. 7 again. When you said it went out.
CC: Is your platform still on?
CC: Okay, okay. Request you power down your platform.
C: Okay. We're all powered down. MDI is OFF, platform OFF, MDIU OFF.
CC: Gemini-5, Guaymas CAP COM. If you read, turn your T/M Control Switch to the REAL TIME and ACQUISITION position. Thank you.
C: Ready when you are, Ouaymas.
CC: Stand by for Houston.
CC: G_m_ni-5, Houston.
C: Howdy, Houston. C_m_ni-5 here.
C: Negative. We're powered down and Just sitting here waiting on you to get on the line.
CC: Okay. Here's what we'd like to have you do. We'd like to have you turn off Circuit Breaker No. 8, and turn on Circuit Breaker No. 7 and go to Direct and give it a good squirt that way to see if we can knock it loose with a good surge of power there.
C: All right. We already tried it once, but we'11 try again.
CC: Okay. Yes, I imagine you've tried everything, but we want to do a couple of little tests here to see what we get.
C: Okay. That didn't succeed.
CC: O_-y. Now we'd like to try and find out what the problem is and we're goi-= to do a little test here to see if maybe the problem is one of the solenoid valves has failed. And what we want to do is to look at the common control bus voltage. I've got a procedure here. I'11 read out step by step. I want to brief you first. We'11 look at the co,m_n control bus voltage and we'11 pulse both the No. 7 and the No. 8 jets one at a time and have you watch the common control bus voltage. Now, if we've lost one of the solenoids on "7", the drop in cn_,nn control btm voltage will be half what it will be when you pulse No. 8. Now, if both of the solenoids are working on "7" and they're both worsts= on "8", rea_ to go through this thing step by step now?
C: Roger. We have No. 7 open now.
CC: Okay. I'11 read off the steps. First we want to go to the COmmon control bus on the voltmeter.
CC: Okay. Turn squib--just a moment. We're going to actually do the manipulation over Texas, Gordo, but we can make a few steps here and we'11 be ready to go when we get there. We would like to have you turn Squib Batteries i and 2 OFF.
C: Okay. Squib Batteries 1 and 2 coming OFF.
CC: Okay. We'd like to have you turn OAMB No. 7 circuit breaker--we'd like to have that closed.
C: You'd like to have OAMS Circuit Breaker No. 7 closed?
CC: And we'd like to have No. 8 circuit breaker open.
CC: And we'd like to have you in Direct Control Mode.
CC: Okay, Gordo. We'11 stand by till we get solid T/M over Texas and then we'11 have you start manipulating the controller.
CC: Go ahead, Gem-ini-5. Houston here.
P: I don't see any big problem if it stays out. We could just go to pitch on the Roll Logic and that ought to take care of everything as far as getting platform aline and so forth.
CC: Roger. That's right. We just wanted to see if what we could--if this is a heater problem or if we really lost part of the electronics or whether we had a valve stuck.
CC: We'11 plan on skipping that D-6 over Texas this time, Gemini-5.
P: Hey, could you give us a readout on our OA_ fuel; is our gage correct?
CC: Yes, Gpm_ui-5, your gage is correct.
CC: Okay, Gemini-5, we'd like to have you observe the common control bus voltage very carefully and go ahead and move the attitude handle to yaw left.
C: Okay. Going left now.
CC: Okay, you just have to mAke--these can be short pulses here. About a second or so.
CC: Is that a 0.4 drop?
C: About 1-volt drop.
CC: One volt, okay. Very good. Now we'd like to have you turn off the No. 7 circuit breaker and close the No. 8 circuit breaker.
CC: Now, we'd like to have you yaw left again and observe the drop.
P: It was only about half of what No. 7 was. Suppose we got a short in there?
CC: I don't know. We'11 think about that for awhile. Okay, you can now turn your Squib Batteries I and 2 back ON.
P: You get the same indications on the ground?
CC: Stand by one, we're looking at the data here now.
CC: Gemini-5, Houston. It looks on the ground like they both dropped about the same amount.
CC: We'd like to have you return the circuit breakers to the condition where No. 8 is closed; leave No. 7 open and we'd like to have you go to Attitude Control. We'd also like to have you power up the computer at this time in Prelaunch. We want to give you an update.
P: Okay. You want us to leave No. 7 open, you say?
P: Computer is in Prelaunch. Power is ON.
CC: Roger, we'11 be sending you an update shortly.
P: Wait till we get it warmed up here.
CC: Gemini-5, you can turn your T/M switch back to COMMAND.
P: Roger, back--
C: Looks like good weather down there.
CC: G_mini-5, you have a GO to 92-1.
C: --good.
CC: These n_mhers are so big that I can't even count that high.
C: _at is it?
C: --is it?
CC: 92-1 is the--is the orbit you have a GO for.
C: Yes, I was just kidding you.
CC: Oh, okay. You were cutting out and I couldn't read you very well.
CC: The Flight Director would like to speak to you for Just a moment.
C: Chris, how are you?
CC: How does it feel for the United States to be the new record holder?
C: At last, huh?
CC: Roger. Congratulations.
C: We thought maybe you had slept too well last night; you had to let us do ... we had so we'd see if we could put you to work this morning.
CC: Seems that John Nodge does that to me every morning.
P: You want the readouts for, on our part, for the 92-1 GO?
P: Okay. lA was 9.1, LB 8.6, lC 10.O, 2A was 6.9, 2B 7.0, 2C 8.2, RCS A 295, temperature 65, RCS B 290, temperature 68. Left secondary 02 5300, right secondary 02 5300. Those readings were taken back when we were powered up.
CC: Roger, and will you say what that lB was again please?
CC: And I'd like to add mv congratulations also.
CC: Have you gone to PITCH on your Roll Jets?
CC: You might as well go ahead and do that, and I'm not sure we're going to have any great solution on how to get this thing to work again.
C: I'd like to add one thing in there just for your information. When we first powered up this morn- lng, after having been drifting for quite awhile, all the thrusters were exceedingly sluggish and we saw great globs of liquid coming out of them and drifting by us when we were firing them in Pulse Mode. interesting,
CC: Roger. Roger. That's isn't it?
C: And ... went to Direct to see if we could clear them out and it didn't seem to, and we were getting big globules of liquid going by us but they cleared out.
CC: Okay. We were wondering about a drop in fuel here and that might have been where we lost all of it.
C: Could be. Well, during that last tracking experi- ment we were having great difficulty to get all of the Radar Test there. We were having quite a bit of trouble holding our attitude and currently we're having to go to Direct to get platform aline, and then we were fiddling around trying to find which thruster it was giving us the problem.
P: Yes, well another was--as we do get these tumbling rates pretty high out of the venting hydrogen so when we first started alining the platform, we apparently had intermittent operation on No. 7 and we'd attribute the fact that we'd start drifting off, too, to the fact that the hydrogen tank was venting. And then we finally got _m_t after awhile and decided to look at something else.
C: Yes, this venting has been giving us 2 to 3 degrees rate here for the last half day or so.
CC: Okay, have you noticed has it built up in just the last half day?
P: Yes. It seem_ to have built up just the last half day or so.
C: ... We drifted the first night if you rempmber, and the thing stayed pretty low, and last night's really the first night we drifted again. We had, of course, stayed in Horizon Scan most of the other United States night cycles, and so last night was the first night we really drifted any length of time, and it really did build up much higher than it did the first night.
CC: Okay. Well the venting should start going down. BERMUDA
CC: Gemini-5, we'd like to have you power down your computer at this time. We have a good load in it.
P: Roger. Computer com_ug down.
CC: Gemini-5, friendly backups send congratulations and Godspeed for the rest of your mission.
CC: We'd like to have you turn your Cryogenic Gaging system OFF.
P: Okay, coming to OFF.
CC: Another thing. We've watched your source pressure on your OAMS power from Carnarvon here to across the States. It's holding nice and steady so we're not using any fuel there. Looks like most of the fuel that you used up was in that one pass and it couldn't very well have been from the sticking thrusters.
CC: We're going to take a little look at the Flight Plan again, Gordo, and match up the fuel remaining with the experiments remaining. Okay?
CC: Can you give us one more propellant quantity readout from your onboard gaging system?
C: Roger. We are reading about 12 percent, a reading of the propellant quantity gage.
CC: Okay. Very good. CANARY
CC: Roger. We'd all like to extend our congratulations to you. We have nothing else for you. We're standing by. Everything looks good from the ground.
C: Okay. Everything's good here. Thank you very much.
CC: Roger. TANANARIVE
CC: Gemini-5, Houston. Do you read? Houston.
CC: Gemini-5, Gemini-5, Over.
C: Go ahead, Houston, Gemini-5 here.
CC: Roger, Gordo. We'd like to have you scrub a D-4/D-?. portion of We'd like to have you scrub the 410 Charlie. Scrub 410 Charlie, okay?
CC: Houston here, transmitting in the blind. I would like to have you scrub 410 Charlie.
C: Roger, Houston. We got that and will scrub it.
CC: Gemini, Carnarvon. Could you tell us why you had the platform up?
C: Roger, when we got there, it had only scrubbed one thing and we needed the platform for some of those others. Over.
C: So we have now powered the platform back down.
CC: Would you verify that the Roll Jets Switch is in the PITCH position?
CC: Gemini, Carnarvon. Do you have any other questions at this time on the Flight Plan?
C: Negative. I don't think so.
C: You might pass on to Flight also on a small failure we had. Our onboard voice tape failed sometime yesterday.
C: We have no onboard recording.
CC: Gemini-5, looks like your OAMS Source Pressure is holding nicely.
P: Okay, fine. Thank you. HAWAII
CC: Gemini-5, this is Hawaii. We have a valid tempera- ture. Standing by for blood pressure.
P: Roger. Sending blood pressure now.
CC: Now we have a real good blood pressure. Give me a mark when you begin your exercise.
P: _4ARK.
CC: Now particularly, we're interested in a summary for the last 24 hours if we can have one.
P: Okay. Water is 26 pounds. I already gave the last meal I ate, which was 3B at 05:09:00:00. Had about 6 hours sleep over the last 24. we have estimated from your past report that it's iD, lC and 3B. Is this correct for the past 24 hours?
P: That sounds about right.
C: ... put CAP COM back on ...
CC: Okay, that should do it. Hawaii Surgeon out.
CC: _m4ni-5, Hawaii CAP COM. We hold you Green on the ground.
C: Roger. We're Green here except for our Control System. And we do not have a yaw-left thruster. Over.
CC: I understand. No left thruster.
C: That's right. We've tried it at PULSE and in DIRECT, and we can see it fire a very faint fire from it in DIRECT up here; we were getting no thrust down on it.
CC: Very--
C: No. 8 thruster. Right. That's No. 8 thruster. No. 7, we have the circuit breaker open on it.
CC: Gemini, have both No. 7 and No. 8 failed now?
C: That ia correct.
C: Okay. Very fine. Thank you. GUAYMAS
CC: Gemini-5, Guaymas CAP COM. Over.
P: Go ahead, Guaymas. Gemini-5.
CC: Okay. Have you tried the other attitude thrusters?
P: Yes, we have pitch up, down and roll right and left.
CC: Are they working normally?
CC: Did you try complete secondary electronics on the
C: No, we haven't.
CC: Okay. Flight says leave it alone at this time.
CC: Okay. You're looking good here on the ground, Gemini.
P: Okay, very fine.
CC: We'd like to have you purge Sections i and 2. Start at any time you like now.
C: Okay. Suppose we'11 start them in Just a minute.
CC: I was going to give you some more Flight Plan stuff. We were going to scrub 8-7 because of the weather, but I guess we don't have to worry about that, do we?
C: Well, there'11 be some way around this.
CC: Yes. Say, do you want to check your TONE-VOX Cir- cuit Breaker? That powers the tape recorder. I wonder if it had popped off on you.
C: I'11 _heck that later.
CC: okny.
C: Gemini over Dallas and Fort Worth. Everything else seems to be agreeable.
C: What do all the pulse people down there think? Do we go a little ... on that off stuff? j
CC: J don't know. They're still working on it, Gordo. j!
C: Okay. I figured they probably were.
CC: Gordo, we think that the mixture ratio was off for some reason. We don't know exactly why yet.
P: Yes, we could see this thruster was actually burning but we're not getting any thrust out of it. We could see it--as a matter of fact, it puts out a brighter flame than the normal thruster firing.
CC: Yes, that's a pretty indication we've got a bad mixture ratio on it. Did you see anything like that on the other one, or did it Just fail?
P: No, it was Just not ... It didn't do anything at all on the other one.
CC: Okay. Yes, we're working on it down here and, I guess, why don't we Just hold the experiments in abeyance until we get something figured out here.
C: Okay. The only thing that I could think of, Jim, is last night I got to where we were Just drifting in this hydrogen venting and it was giving us--let me remember right--left roll and right yaw--
P: Left yaw and right roll.
P: And we spent a lot of time corkscrewing around like that and the tendency to keep that side out on the sun, any time we were in it, was fairly good. That would be the way we were drifting.
CC: Okay. You're getting left yaw and right roll and you say that side of the spacecraft was in the darkness quite a bit.
CC: Okay. That sounds like a nifty maneuver.
P: That's with this hydrogen purge and it just may be from the h_drogen venting.
C: The h_drogen venting ...
CC: I knew you guys weren't ver_ coordinated but left yaw and right roll, I don't know.
P: Got to purge fuel cells, Jim. Roger.
P: Okay. We're starting the hydrogen purge on No. 1 right now.
P: No. 2 hydrogen going.
P: No. 1 oxygen going.
CC: Gemini-5, this is MCC Surgeon. How did the sleep go last night?
C: Oh, we got about 3 hours each, 3-1/2 hours each, I guess.
CC: Yes, I heard the times, but was it easier? Was the Flight Plan working out better last night?
CC: Hey, did Pete get the cuffs off?
C: Yes, we got them off.
CC: Okay. flow'sthe skin now with the cuffs off?
C: Whole lots better.
CC: You having any more trouble around the sensors, Gordo?
P: Hey, I see a carrier and a destroyer ste-mtng right straight into Jacksonville:
P: Hey, the weather was really clear across the U.S.'
CC: You know that was our trouble with the S-7. We didn't have any sunny side for you to take pictures of.
P: Okay. Commencing No. 02 purge.
P: I think I see there's a recovery carrier or another large ship making a big wake down there.
CC: You're a real homing pigeon for these aircraft carriers, aren't you?
P: If the sun was just right today and the spacecraft holds Just right.
CC: How was the weather out around Laredo? Do you S-8/D-13 think there is any chance of seeing that target?
C: We are having small fluffy clouds out there.
CC: Okay. You think you can control the spacecraft, S-8/D-13? Gordo, so that you could do the
C: No, we wanted to do it.
C: We want to do
CC: You want to do it. Roger. We'd like to have you do it too.
C: Hello, you say can we control the spacecraft to do it?
CC: Yes, can you control it?
C: I don't know. We might be able to.
CC: Okay. Well don't expend a lot of fuel doing it; trying to too. we're save some fuel here
P: Go ahead, Carnarvon. This is Gemini-5.
CC: Also be advised that Flight requests that you use no fuel until advised. Do all experiments until advised.
P: Ready to copy Flight Plan.
CC: Roger. Item Map, 15:55:49, longitude 151.4 East, Rev 77. Next item Star 15:55:49, Remarks, zero hours 19 minutes. Do you copy?
CC: Did you copy this one about the fuel?
CC: Okay, and they want you in the powered-down con- figuration and this is the list of items they wish you to have powered up. Voice Control Center, one suit fan, two coolant pumps, ACQ-AID Beacon, UHF Receiver, DCS Receiver, TCM Tape Recorder, Bio-Med Recorder No. 2, the DC-DC Converter, the OARS Heater and the RCS Heater, the Water Line Heater, as necessary, the cabin lights. DO you copy?
P: I got all of it but one. Voice Control, one suit fan, two cool pumps, one ACQ-AID. What was the next thing?
CC: Next one was the UHF Receiver, followed by DCS Receiver.
P: ... DCS, TCM Tape, Bio-Med Recorder No. 2, DC-DC Converter, RCS and OAMS ...
CC: Roger. They're trying to work up some test on this attitude thruster problem and they haven't got any- thing as yet.
CC: P Oki.
CC: They have several thoughts; Thruster 7 and 8 are right on the end of the manifold; it's possibility of clogging toward the end of the mainfold or it could be low on fuel or oxidizer or both. They're working on the problem.
CC: Also Flight would like the Scanner Heaters left on.
CC: You can turn your prim-fy ACME power off.
CC: Okay. We've got your telemetry off; we got a look at it and it looks okay. We'd transmitted it off.
UNKNOWN: Hawaii CAP COM, C_'m_ni-5here.
CC: Roger. For your power-up configuration we'd like you to add the Horizon Scanner Heater Circuit Breaker on.
C: Roger. You--for the power-up configuration.
CC: The way you are now.
C: Do you want the Scanner Heater Circuit Breaker on?
C: Roger. We have it on.
CC: _11 of your systems are GO.
C: Okay, mighty fine. TEXAS
CC: Gemini-5, Houston here. I have a few things for you when you get your radios ready.
C: Roger, Houston, Qemini-5 here. Radio transmitters warmed up.
CC: Okay. How are your vehicle rates with the venting in drifting flight now?
C: Oh, we've a couple. 3 degrees in pitch and a little bit in roll; mostly Just in pitch right now.
CC: Okay. Do you find these rates to be objectionable at all?
CC: Okay. I've got a little briefing on the OAMS situation here. The OAMS Heaters are ON now and the tester is comtng up on TCA-IO, which is the one that has the temperature sensor on it. Now all the thrusters are okay except 7 and 8, and since these are on the same side of the spacecraft, they're subject to the same kind of euabientheat load; they'd probably be subjected to Just about the s-me tempera- ture. Also, these particular thrusters are pretty far down the manifold. Now, if the temperature is a problem and we can get the OAMS Heaters to bring TCA No. 10 temperature up to around 60 degrees or so, we'd like to fire up the ACME again and try ? and 8 in the Direct Mode to see if this is what the problem was. Okay?
CC: Gemini-5, Houston. Did you get that message?
C: We missed your last one, over.
CC: Okay. Did, did you get the OAMS thruster briefing about the temperatures?
C: We got that ...
CC: Roger. Okay, you got that. Be advised that we're considering a lot o.fdrifting flight now because we're not really sure what the state is; you know, the different mixture ratios we get from the dif- ferent thrusters. How do you feel about spending a day or two in drifting flight to make sure that we've got enough fuel for the last day or so, and to keep down the vehicle rates that we're going to get from the Hydrogen Test.
C: Well, I don't know. Hadn't really considered it.
CC: Okay. Well, why don't you think about it for a while. It looks to us down here that there may be any one of a number of things wrong and if we're getting low on fuel, we don't want to run out of fuel with 3 days to go. We want to save some of the fuel to keep down the rates due to the venting. So we don't want to run the thing dry so far in advance.
CC: 8o, what you ought to plan on tentatively is very few experiments, probably no experiments for the next day or two, till we get a better handle on what your fuel state is; and then on the last day we can expect to power up and do some more 9-8/ D-B's and that type of thing.
CC: Okay, Gemini-5. We're going UHF-6, now.
CC: Gemini-5, Houston here. Could you tell us what your Blue Bag situation is.
C: Roger. It still hasn't changed.
CC: Oh, very good, very good.
C: We just passed over the U.S. and were drifting slowly around. The weather is quite pretty there today. And we just came over Houston just a Zew seconds ago and saw Houston quite clearly.
CC: Gordo, have you ever been able to see the Domed Stadium?
C: No, we didn't see the Domed Stadium this time, either.
C: Very little or small, little puffy cu overhead ... and then we were drifting into a fairly good rate here too, which doesn't give us a great long look at anything.
C: We just went on out past Florida. Saw Florida.
P: Say, one thing, Jim, I'd like you to consider on the last day's worth of experiments, fuel per- mitting; let's not load us too badly, though, because we're going to have quite a re-stowage problem, you know.
CC: Right, I understand that. I set aside 3 hours prior to retrofire for our stowage. And it took us Just that long to do it. As a matter of fact, we were a little rushed at about an hour to go; we still had some things out. So I think probably 3 hours would be a good time to use there.
P: That was our feeling, that we needed at least 3 hours.
CC: Okay. Well, don't worry about that. We won't load you up so you can't get all the stuff stowed.
C: We're right over Key West now. It's really a nice day down there, too.
CC: Nave you ever noticed Florida, the Gulf Coast, and the Atlantic Coast outlining those little puffy clouds like we saw?
CC: That's really classical weather, isn't it?
C: Yes, it sure is. Can also see a big storm right down off the tip of Florida and the Gulf.
CC: Roger. S_y, were you ever able to see the eye of Doreen or does it Just look like a big--
CC: Is the eye actually ... does it actually look like an open spot or is is Just all clouded over?
C: It looked kind of like a semi-open spot. It built up very, very heavy and then right in the immediate eye of it was sort of like a sunken-in place. Kind of convex.
CC: Oh, very good. Ail the storms we passed over were AL1 Just flat. You could never really pick out any center to them.
C: No, this one had a very well-defined eye.
C: It looked like the center of a big whirlpool, you know.
C: Say, Jim, would you pass my wife a message. to.
CC: I'd love
C: Tell her she owes me a dollar.
CC: Okay, I'11 tell her that. You want to collect it yourself or do you want me to mail it to you? I'11 it.
C: No, collect I just want you to tell her that, though. Okay. Dr.
CC: Hey, Berry says that she's already called up and admitted she owes you a dollar.
C: I got a good look at the Guantanamo Naval Base near Cuba. good.
CC: Very
CC: Gemini-5, Houston again. Have you been able to see anything of Australia yet in the daylight?
CC: Gemini-5, Houston, have you been able to see Australia in the daylight, yet?
P: Go ahead, Houston, Geml_i-5.
CC: Dr. Berry said yesterday at the press conference that after the use of your blue bags, when you get back we'11 have a real milestone.
P: Right. I'm really keeping m_ eye on Gordo when I say that.
CC: So would I, Pete. So would I. CARNARVON
P: Go ahead Carnarvon, Gomini-5.
CC: Roger. Be advised we'd like you to turn your Fuel Cell Section 2 Power Switch off on m_ cue and also Secondary and turn off the Pump A in the Loop I '11 go on to explain why shortly.
P: Okay. that
CC: Stand by on until we get our s,,wm_ries out.
CC: Okay, also be advised we have a Medical Pass on Co,_-nd the Pilot at Hawaii and then ADS time is 17: 41.
P: Roger. 17:41.
CC: Okay, would you go ahead and place Section 2 Power Switch OFF and turn off the Pump A in Seconaary Loop.
P: Roger, Power Switch is OFF. Pump on the Secondary Loop is OFF.
CC: Okay, what we're doing here is--the best computa- tions at Houston on the H_O produced is running 0.03 0.031 amp-hour. about to pound_ of water per And what this is giving them is it shows that Tank B will be out of drinking water at about the end of the flight, based upon the present power consumption.
CC: Okay, what they're going to do is bring up Section 2 about ever_ 20 hours until the H2 stops venting. And then they '11 have a look at that for one or two orbits. And if it has stopped venting at that time they '4% leave the H2. They'11 bring Section 2 up and leave it up for 6 to 10 hours and get an N2 they'11 usage rate. And recompute a water usage. Then they ,11 take the water usage rate they had earlier in the mission before the _ venting-- and this is what I'm speaking of--and compute a new usage rate on the total water production.
CC: Okay, we'11 continue purging both sections on the present purge cycle. And Flight said they had worked out some power curves for your batteries toward the end of the mission, if necessary, and they look real good. And looks like they're going to try to make it the 8 days.
CC: Okay, you got any questions on that readout?
P: No, I don't believe so.
CC: Roger. Looks good down here also.
CC: We've got about a minute to LOS. Standing by.
P: Carnarvon CAP COM, is the Surgeon listening?
CC: Roger, he's listening.
P: Would the Surgeon pass on from the Pilot to Doctors Bishop, Wade, and Mm_rray Austin our regards please?
P: Okay. HAWAII
CC: Gemini-5, this is Hawaii. We have a valid tempera- ture; standing by for blood pressure. CONFIDENTIAL 463
CC: Gemini-5, we have a valid blood pressure. Give me a mark when you begin 2our exercise.
CC: Gemini-5, we have a valid blood pressure; standing by for your water and sleep report.
C: Roger. The Command Pilot has had 27 pounds 2 ounces of water, and I Just finished Meal 3C.
CC: Gemini-5, Hawaii Surgeon. Could you give me some data on your sleep?
C: Roger, I had about 2 hours of sleep in the last 7 or 8 hours.
CC: Roger, Gemini-5. I repeat, 24.2 pounds of water. Is that affirmative?
C: 27.2
CC: I understand, 27.2 pounds of water. Thank you, Gemini-), Hawaii Surgeon out.
CC: Gemini-5, this is Hawaii CAP COM. We hold your systems Green on the ground.
C: Roger. All systems look Green here. Thank you.
CC: Hawaii standing by.
