I Just wanted to let you know. us a report on what our orbit is now? to launch Gpmlni VI on the eighth or ninth day will have to be made. If the decision is to launch Gemini VI on the eighth day, a Circularization Man- euver will be made at that time. The approximate GET eqml_ls 5 da_s. This will give us two launch windows on the eighth day and one window on the ninth and tenth days. If the decision is made to launch G_mtni VI on the ninth day, the Circulariza- tion Maneuver will be delayed until approximately 7 1/2 elapsed days. This will allow the launch windows per the preflight normal, nr_ual flight plan. You got that? over the windows. We're just about ready to settle down for a sleep. Number i - we are using a small piece of tape to mark our next activity in the flight plan right above the panel clock. This r_minds us of what the next activity is going to be without looking in our flight book. Number 2 - we think you ought to color the covers of the log and experlm-nts procedures book differently so you can pick them without having to guess what book it is and then have to read it later on. Meal A. Also, our MSC-2 and 3 were off at 66 plus 00. I just took a picture, Magazine A, Exposure 43, 66:14:50, of the sunset. The exposure was 2.8 at 1/6Otb. Okay. We're observing the sunset now. I can see the entire area where the dense part meets the terminator. It's black on the bottam, black on top with blue in between. _Lud as you go out toward the middle you gradually pick up a darker red, right on the earth, giving way to an orange, then a light blue and a very distinct blend of aavk blue followed by a lighter blue and then gradually going into a black. So starting out at the bottcmanext to the earth, it is a red, orange, yellow, light blue, brilliant electric blue, then a definite band of light, and then dark blue and grad,,allygoing into a black at sunrise. We are observing no zodiacal light that we can see at that ttm_. We're in per- fect position to note it. Just after we're drifting throl_h,but no zodiacal light.
