Spacelog Mercury 6

Some of them almost float with me. Most of them appear to be moving at about 3 to 5 miles an hour away from me. I'm going just a little faster then they are. Over.

That is affirmative. The scope is extended. The scope is extended. Over.

Roger.

This is Friendship Seven. A lot of cloud cover. I cannot see land yet. Over.

This is Friendship Seven. Yaw is drifting out of orbit attitude and will bring it back in. Over.

Roger.

Friendship Seven, Guaymas. I said the, I have an indication of scope retract. Your say your scope is out, though? Over.

That is affirmative.

Roger.

Friendship Seven, California Cap Com. We have your scope as extended.

That is affirmative, Cal, scope is extended.

This is Friendship Seven. Yaw drifted out of limits about 20 degrees to the right. I'm bringing it back in manually at present time. Over.

This is Friendship Seven. It drifts about out 20° to the right and then gets a large pulse to kick it back over to the left. It goes in about, the rate runs over to about 3 degrees per second, to the left.

It's drifting again in yaw. Over. And once again pulls through.
