Spacelog Mercury 6

Surgeon requests a blood pressure readout if convenient at this time.

Roger 47 [degrees].

Correction, Roger, blood pressure, 47 [degrees] on steam temp, blood pressure on.

This is Friendship Seven. I have a pretty good run here on, on yaw check. I believe my yaw is pretty accurate. Roll is off by about 20° to the right at present time.

Roger, Friendship Seven. Roll is off by 20° to the right; yaw looks pretty good. Hawaii. Over.

That's affirmative.

Friendship Seven, Hawaii Cap Com. MCC confirms that they are GO at the present time for third orbit.

Roger. Friendship Seven.

Friendship Seven, Hawaii Cap Com. Do you read? Over.

Roger, Hawaii. Loud and clear, how me?

Are you ready to copy?

Friendship Seven. Go ahead.

This is Friendship Seven. I have a better alignment now on the day side, I believe, on these, on the attitude. I will probably cage and uncage gyros again. Over.

Friendship Seven, Friendship Seven, this is California Com Tech, California Com Tech. Do you read? Over.

Roger, California Com Tech. Read you loud and clear. How me? Over.

Hello, California Com Tech. Friendship Seven. How me? Over.

Friendship Seven, Friendship Seven, this is California Com Tech, California Com Tech. Do you read? Over.

Roger, California Com Tech. Friendship Seven. How me? Over.

Friendship Seven, Friendship Seven, this is California Com Tech, California Com Tech. Do you read? Over.

Hello, California Com Tech. Friendship Seven. Loud and clear; how me?

Friendship Seven, Friendship Seven, this is California Com Tech, California Com Tech. Do you read? Over.

Hello, California Com Tech. Friendship Seven. Loud and clear; how me?

Friendship Seven, California Cap Com. Read you loud and clear, John.

Say again. You came in garbled that time. This is Friendship Seven.

Friendship Seven, this is California Cap Com. We read you loud and clear; how me?

Roger. Receiving you much better now, Wally. Very good. Fuel is 62-62 [percent], oxygen 62-95 [percent], amps are 25. All systems are still go. I have had some erratic ASCS operation. I caged and uncaged on the night side and it appears to be working fairly well now although I was drifting again in roll a moment ago. It appears to have corrected itself in roll, however, without me caging again now. Over.

Good, John. We have a go all the way on this. I'd like to give you your inverter temperatures. Your fans are 215 [degrees], your ASCS 198 [degrees]. We're not going to do anything about them. Looks real good.

Okay, fine.

Will you give me your attitudes and we'll check those with ground.

Roger. I'll go back into orbit attitude, drifting toward it at present time. Do you have TM solid now? Over.

Good here.

Roger. Roll is 5 [degrees] left, yaw 3 [degrees] right, pitch — 32 [degrees], right now.

Roger, have your readings.

John, we check almost right on the button with your attitudes within 2°.

Roger. I appear to have a little bit of drift in the scope yet though.

Roger. You probably don't have a good reference yet, do you?

Roger. This will affect your sequence time. I'll give you 3 Alpha if you're ready to copy.

Standby.

Roger, ready to copy 3 Alpha.

Roger. 3 Alpha corrected for the second error will be 03 plus 11 plus 26. Over.

Roger, 03 11 26.

You have your end-of-orbit time, and that has not changed and I believe you have Area Golf also.

That's affirmative. I have Golf at 03 plus 00 plus 39 and Hotel at 04 plus 32 plus 40.

That is correct. You can correct your Area Golf by subtracting one second and subtract one second from Hotel.

Roger. Understand for my retrosequence for end-of-mission is 04 plus 32 plus 39. Is that affirm?

Negative. That should be 04 plus 32 plus 38.
