NASA-UAP-D021, Gemini 7 Technical Debriefing, 1965

The Gemini 7 flight crew debriefing was conducted December 19-21, 1965.

This preliminary transcript was made from voice tape recordings of the Gemini 7 flight crew debriefing conducted December 19 through December 21, 1965 at the Crew Quarters, Cape Kennedy, Florida.

The windows of Gemini 7 were heated previously to prevent fogging.

The windows were heated previously as a result of 5's problems, and our windows, I thought, were perfectly clean.

There was a slight hint of POGO around two minutes into the flight.

But I did notice a slight hint of a POGO around about, I would estimate, two minutes.

The booster was bending rapidly during station keeping.

Now, I did have some problem because the booster was bending so rapidly.

The docking light was not particularly helpful during the first stage of station keeping.

One thing I did notice was that the docking light was not particularly helpful on that stage of the business.
