This is Friendship Seven standing by. I am slightly behind on my checklist at present time. Will get caught up.

Roger, this is Canary CapCom standing by.

This is Friendship Seven still on ASCS. I can see dust storms down there blowing across the desert, a lot of dust; it's difficult to see the ground in some areas. Over.

Seven, you are fading; how me? Over.

Friendship Seven, this is Kano Cap Com, I read you loud and clear. How do you read me? Over.

Roger, Kano, loud and clear; how me?

Roger, loud and clear. What is your status? Over.

This is Friendship Seven. My status is excellent. I feel fine. Over.

Roger, this is Friendship Seven. Fuel, 90-98 [percent]. Oxygen, 78-100 [percent]. Cabin pressure holding 5.6 at the present time. Have very little dirt floating around in the capsule, just a little bit and preferring to take xylose pill at present time. Unsealing the, going to unseal the faceplate. Over.

Say again, Kano. Over.

Reading on your exhaust temperature.

Roger. Steam temperature is 59 [degrees]. Over.

Roger. Friendship Seven. We have TM solid. If you want, we will standby while you do your yaw maneuver and check your systems.

This is Friendship Seven, going to, UHF low for cheek. Over.

Roger, Friendship Seven.

Correction, going to fly-by-wire. Over.

Roger, understand on fly-by-wire for yaw maneuver.

That's affirmative.

This is Friendship Seven, having no trouble controlling on fly-by-wire. Drift is coming around at about 1° per second, and holding attitude okay in other axes. Over.

Roger. Check drift at 1° per second and holding attitude okay all axes, I have your retrosequence time for Area 1 Charlie.

Standby. Will get it later; I'm in the middle of yaw maneuver at present time. Over.

Standing by.

This is Friendship Seven at 60° right yaw, and holding temporarily. Over.

Roger. 60° right yaw and holding.

Attitudes all well within limits. I have no problem holding attitude with fly-by-wire at all. Very easy. Over.

Roger, check fly-by-wire is very easy. Our telemetry checks all your systems out okay. Are you ready for retrosequence time?

Negative, not yet. I'll pick it up possibly at next station if I lose contact with you. I'm still on manual control here on fly-by-wire. Over.

Understand.
