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.

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

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.

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.

Roger. I'll go back into orbit attitude, drifting toward it at present time. Do you have TM solid now? Over.
-
John Glenn
-
It's rather, it's more difficult to pick up drift than I thought it would be. Your best drift really is to look out the window and try and get something moving away from you out the window.

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