This is Friendship Seven. I am in manual. Over.

Roger. Understand.

Friendship Seven, this is Canary Cap Com. The Aeromed wants to talk to you. Over.

Roger. Go ahead, Aeromed.

This is Canary surgeon. Are you having any nausea, or have you experienced any nausea at all during the entire flight?

This is Friendship Seven. Negative. I have felt perfectly normal during the whole flight. I feel fine. Over.

Very good. Back to Cap Com.

Friendship Seven, Friendship Seven, do you want your inverter temperatures at this time?

Roger. This is Friendship Seven. Go ahead.

Roger. We're turning you over to Canary Systems.

Friendship Seven, this is Canary Systems. How do you read?

Go ahead, Canary Systems, go ahead.

The systems on the ground look fairly normal at this time. The temperatures are a little bit on the high side but there's nothing critical showing up. The latest reports show that the inverters are about 200 [degrees] and 210 [degrees]; this does not seem to be critical. They should be holding all this level. Do you understand?

Roger. Friendship Seven.

All other systems are as you reported to me.

Friendship Seven, Friendship Seven, this is Atlantic Ship Cap, Com Tech. How do you read? Over.

Hello, Atlantic Cap Com. Read you loud and clear. How me? Over.

Friendship Seven, Friendship Seven, this is Atlantic Ship Com Tech. We read you weak but broken, weak but broken.

Roger. Friendship Seven. Fuel 64-54 [percent], oxygen 62-94 [percent], amps 23. Over.

Hello, Atlantic Ship: Atlantic Cap Com. Friendship Seven, do you receive? Over.

Friendship Seven, this is ATS Cap Com. How do you read me? Over. And what mode are you on for communications? Over.

Roger, Friendship Seven. We have TM contact, we have TM contact. Switch to UHF please.

Atlantic Ship, this is Friendship Seven. Over.

Hello, Atlantic Ship. Friendship Seven. Over.

Friendship Seven, this is ATS Cap Com. Read only the last part of your transmission. Say again, please.

Atlantic Ship, This is Friendship Seven. Wish you would pass to Cape. I let the capsule drift around to the 180° position and I am having to reorient at present time. When Iain all lined with the horizon and the periscope, my attitude indications now are way off. My roll indicates 30° right; my yaw indicates 35 [degrees] right; and pitch indicates plus 40 [degrees]; I repeat plus 40 [degrees] when I am in orbit attitude. Over.

Did you receive?

Roger, Friendship Seven. I read you a little broken. You have discrepancies in attitudes of 30° right in roll, 35 [degrees] right in yaw and plus 40 [degrees] in pitch. Confirm, please. Over.

That is affirmative. I am realigning the capsule at present time and wilt cage and uncage the gyros before I go on the dark side. Over.

Roger. We will standby.

This is Friendship Seven, ATS. Do you receive?

Roger, Friendship Seven. Reading you loud and clear. Over.

This is Friendship Seven, in orbit attitude present time, caging gyros.

Rog.

Gyros to cage, ready now.

This is Friendship Seven. Gyros are back on normal, going back to orbit attitude and will try ASCS. Over.

Roger. Standing by.

Friendship Seven. Going to ASCS. Ready-now.

Friendship Seven, this is ATS Cap Com. Do you read me? Over.

Roger, ATS.

Friendship Seven, you are getting weak, you are getting weak. Over.

This is Friendship Seven. Did not read you, ATS.

(ATS) Friendship Seven, this is ATS Cap Com. I'm reading you very clear, very clear. Could you give me the reason for the errors in your attitudes, please?
