Spacelog Mercury 6

Roger, retro sequence is green.

You have a green. You look good on attitude.

Retro attitude is green.

Just past 20.

Say again.

Seconds.

Roger.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, fire.

Roger, retros are firing.

Sure, they be.

Are they ever. It feels like I'm going back toward Hawaii.

Don't do that, you want to go to the East Coast.

Roger. Fire retro light is green.

All three here.

Roger.

Roger, retros have stopped. A hundred. …

Keep your retro pack on until you pass Texas.

That's affirmative.

Check.

Pretty good looking flight from what all we've seen.

Roger, everything went pretty good except for all this ASCS problem.

It looked like your attitude held pretty well. Did you have to back it up at all?

Oh, yes, quite a bit. Yeah, I had a lot of trouble with it.

Good enough for Government work from down here.

Yes, sir, it looks good, Wally. We'll see you back East.

Rog.

All right, boy.

Fire Retro is green.

Roger.

Jettison retro is red. I'm holding onto it.

Good head.

I'll tell you, there is no doubt about it when the retros fire.

Negative, very close. I backed it up and worked right along with the ASCS and it looked like it held right on the money.

Roger, we didn't notice any particular disparity here.

Roger, good. Do you have a time for going to Jettison Retro? Over.

Texas will give you that message. Over.

Roger.

This is Friendship Seven, cutting yaw on automatic and I'll control that manually; it keeps banging in and out of orientation.

Roger, Friendship Seven.

Hello, Texas. Friendship Seven. Over.

Friendship Seven, Cal Cap Com. Do you read?

Roger.

Consideration about leaving retropack on, they will inform you over Texas.

Roger

Roger, over the Coast.

Roger, clear blue here.

Yes, sir
