3· 0 COMMUNICATIONS

3.1 INTRODUCTION

The following is a transcript of the MA-9 flight communications

derived from both the spacecraft onboard recordings and the Mercury
network station recordings to form a single text. This is, therefore,
a complete transcript of the air-to-ground and ground-to-air co-.._.mica-
tions during station passages, and inflight comments made by the pilot
while between stations. A few non-flight-related transmissions and
an occasional repetitive word or partial sentence were removed by the
astronauts and the editors where clarity could be improved. Instances
of this type are noted by an asterisk at the start of the transmission
that was altered. Where a whole transmission has been deleted due to
lack of confirmation or non-flight-relationship, the asterisk will
appear where the transmission was removed. The text is otherwise
verbatim.

The format used for presentation is as follows: the first col_m_,

at the left, contains the capsule elapsed time (c.e.t.) from liftoff
in hours, minutes, and seconds_ at which each communication was initiated.
The second column identifies the communicator, and the third cold,mn
contains the text of the communication. The station in communication
with the astronaut is designated at the initiation of cow_mmications.
Where no station contact is made through a complete orbital pass the
text is headed with the orbital pass number only. In addition, each
page contains, below the page number, the station or stations and
orbital pass number transcription contained on that page.

The c.e.t, was reduced from the recording of the spacecraft clock
commutated time segments on both the onboard tape and the network
station tapes. These c.e.t, times are accurate to +0.8 seconds. Timing
of a few communications was not obtained due to either weak, noisy
signals on the network tapes, or to short sampling of onboard commmtated
time segments caused by commutator s_mpling interruptions when the
pilot was recording while in the VOX-record, programmed mode and paused
longer than 1/2 second. When t_m_ug was not obtained for either of
these reasons, the first cold,mn will contain the notation "Unreadable"
for that communication.

The communicators listed in col_m_ two are identified as follows:

P - Pilot

CC - Spacecraft communicator at the range station.

SY - Systems monitor at the range station.

F - Flight director at Mercury Control Center.

R1 - prlm_ry recovery Helicopter pilot.

CONFIDENTIAL
 3- 2 CONFIDENTIAL

R2 - Backup recovery Helicopter pilot.

Stony - Launch complex iL blockhouse communicator.

At various times throughout the flight, the pilot or network

station coaaa_nicator would indicate a precise time, event, or actiom
by the use of a significant work, such as "MARK", or "NOW". The
transcript editors also selected a few significant words or events
for ttmt_g. The timing of these words or events was accomplished
by the same process as was used to determine the e.e.t, times for
column one, and is indicated by the time enclosed in parentheses
followed by the superscript T.

Within the text, a series of dots is used to designate communica-

tions, or portions of communications which could not be deciphered.
A single dash indicates a pause during a communication. Information
contained within umm-rked parentheses indicates editorial insertions
for clarity as an aid to the non-systems-oriented reader.

democracy really can compete, and still are
able to do things in a big way, are able to
do research, development, and can conduct
