It didn't take any film at all and it seems to have overheated because I guess we turned it on while the sun was still up.

I have one yaw and that one pitch thruster out, but we don't seem to be able to exercise proper control in RATE COMMAND or DIRECT, with our own attitude control system. Now it may be that there's some way of cleaning it out, but it's Just not too sensible right now. · And I think we want to get a particul-_ heading, we'd be much better off sacrificing some of that Agena ... roughly. correct? where near right side up, go ahead to FC2 and set up the commands through 0 0 0 and forget it. is the combination of that yaw/pitch.

So we feel that the problem is Just getting - just letting it sit there long enough for it to right itself - total combination with the low gas pressures. where near upright so the horizon sensors see some of the earth, and set up FC2 0 0 0 with gyro- compassing, I think you'11 find that it'11 even- tually come around.

CC: Faith Seven. Our telemetry on the ground looks like you have a very good capsule at this time. We would like to confirm the suit dome temperature, however.
P: Roger. The suit dome temperature is still down low. I'm easing up on it.
CC: We're reading approxfmately 40 degrees on the ground.
P: Roger. I'm indicating about 42 (degrees) here and I have decreased _ setting. It should be coming up momentarily.

CC: Faith Seven, Zanzibar Cap Com. How about giving me a suit aud dome right now. It'11 be LOS time.
P: Roger. Suit dome is about 45 degrees. Cabin dome is about 61 degrees.
CC: Roger. Thank you very much. See you next time.
P: Okay. I finally have my dome temps - fairly good
P: (cont'd) b_udle on them. I have about 62 (degrees) on the cabin dome. I have approxtm-tely 45 (degrees) on the suit dome. These $empera- tures have taken a setting of 2.0 (comfort control valve setting) on the suit and about 3.8 (comfort control valve setting) on the cabin. I have checked my control systems out.

I have from fairly midway through the launch. Lost it at the top of the trajectory. And then picked it up again when I yawed back around to orbit attitude.
P: My cabin pressure has slowly dropped to the advertised value of 5.2 (psia) and appears to be holding. My suit dome has dropped down again now to about 42 (degrees) and seems to be oscillating about this point area. Body temperature is good, not quite as cool as I would prefer, but good. My suit inlet temperature indicates 60 degrees however, so the sun is probably the biggest factor heating me up. I have drunk some water.
