Spacelog Mercury 8

I am not there yet. I'd say about 25 to 30 degrees, I'm stopping yaw at this time. The periscope checks with the window and the reticle and I'm going to give a mark shortly, to try to get all the rates stopped. I am just about in retroattitude now, and yaw looks real clean. I'm going to pull off and look. It's about 1 degree of yaw, to the right—MARK.^T. Okay, I'm satisfied with that kind of day yaw check. That was done in retroattitude. I had a real good cloud layer, that was what was the cue.

Roger. How do you feel about systems at the present time now?

All systems are green except for the suit cooling and it definitely is—the dome temperature is going up at this time. I'm going to go back on ASCS for a while and hack out a network.

Roger.

I will not go to ASCS. Ah, by the way, how about taking a look at my high thrusters. Have you seen any high thruster action at all?

Standby.

I shouldn't have had any at all.

Wally, did you already switch to ASCS?

Negative. I have not switched.

Do it now.

Say again.

Go ahead and switch.

I'm going—have I had any high thruster action so far?

Negative.

Okay, that's good. I'm still in fly-by-wire low, standby switching now, flop. I'm going—.

Say again.

No high thrusters.

Okay, good deal going, gyros normal.

Roger, that is affirmative.

I have completed my day yaw checks. I am very satisfied with the technique of taking care of roll as I . . .

Sigma Seven, Sigma Seven this is . . .. Do you read? Over.

This is Sigma Seven. I had to give up on this lower temperature. Everything's going up.

Okay, I'll report that to the Cape.

I'm going to set in to number . . ..

Sigma Seven this is Kano Com Tech, transmitting on UHF/HF, do you read?

Roger, Kano. I read you loud and clear. How me?

. . . read you here. Report . . . setting number.

Okay. I've set it back to 7.5.

Roger. I copied 7.5.

The suit dome went up to 82 degrees.

Sigma Seven this is Kano Com Tech, transmitting on UHF/HF. Do you read? Over.

Could you read me, Canaries?

Hello Kano, hello Kano.

Sigma Seven Sigma Seven this is Kano Com Tech, transmitting on UHF/HF. Do you read? Over.

Kano, I read you loud and clear. How me? Over.

Sigma Seven Sigma Seven this is Kano Com Tech, transmitting on UHF/HF. Do you read? Over.

Kano this is Sigma Seven. Read you loud and clear. How me? Over.

Roger, Seven, I read you weak but readable. Standby this frequency for . . ..

Okay.

Sigma Seven, . . . how do you read?

I read you loud and clear. I wonder whether Canary's got my last on the suit system. I've got 82 degrees on the dome and went back up to a setting of 7.5 on the coolant valve. Over.

Sigma Seven, Kano Cap Com.

Go ahead, Kano.

Kano Cap Com, Sigma Seven, go ahead.

Hello, hello Kano Cap Com, Sigma Seven. Over.

Kano, Cap Com this is Sigma Seven. Go ahead.

Sigma Seven, Kano Cap Com . . ..

Kano Cap Com, this is Sigma seven, go ahead.

Sigma Seven, we don't read you.

Roger, Kano. This is Sigma Seven. I read you loud and clear. Sigma Seven switching to HF.
