00:00:15 CAPCOM: Roger.
00:00:17 CAPCOM: Stand by for twenty seconds.
00:00:19 Glenn: Roger.
00:00:20 CAPCOM: Two, one, mark.
00:00:23 Glenn: Roger. Backup clock is started.
00:00:32 Glenn: Fuel 102-101 [percent], oxygen 78-100 [percent], amps 27.
00:00:39 CAPCOM: Roger. Loud and clear. Flight path is good, 69 [degrees].
00:00:43 Glenn: Roger. Checks OK. Mine was 70 [degrees] on your mark.
00:00:48 Glenn: Have some vibration area coming up here now.
00:00:52 CAPCOM: Roger. Reading you loud and clear.
00:00:55 Glenn: Roger. Coming into high Q a little bit; and a little contrail went by the window or something there.
00:01:00 CAPCOM: Roger.
00:01:03 Glenn: Fuel 102-101 [percent], oxygen 78-101 [percent], amps 24. Still OK.
00:01:12 Glenn: We're smoothing out some now, getting out of the vibration area.
00:01:16 CAPCOM: Roger. You're through max Q. Flight path is...
00:01:19 Glenn: Roger. Feels good through max Q and smoothing out fine.
00:01:26 Glenn: Cabin pressure coming down by 7.0. OK, flight very smooth now.
00:01:31 Glenn: Sky looking very dark outside.
00:01:42 Glenn: Cabin pressure is holding at 6.1 OK.
00:01:46 CAPCOM: Roger. Cabin pressure holding at 6.1.
00:01:49 Glenn: Roger. Have had some oscillations, but they seem to be damping out OK now.
00:01:56 Glenn: Coming up on two minutes, fuel is 102-101 [percent], oxygen is 78-102 [percent]. The g's are building to six.
00:02:07 CAPCOM: Roger. Reading you loud and clear. Flight path looks good. Pitch 25 [degrees] stand by for.
00:02:12 Glenn: Roger. BECO, back to 1.4 g's. The tower fired; could not see the tower fire. I saw the smoke go by the window.
00:02:21 CAPCOM: Roger. We confirm staging on TM.
00:02:24 Glenn: Roger.
00:02:27 Glenn: Still have about one and a half g's. Programming. Over.
00:02:36 Glenn: There the tower went right then. Have the tower in sight way out. Could see the tower go. Jettison tower is green.
00:02:48 CAPCOM: Roger.
00:02:50 Glenn: One and a half g's.
00:02:53 CAPCOM: Roger, Seven. Still reading you loud and clear. Flight path looks good.
00:02:56 Glenn: Roger. Autoretrojettison is off. Emergency Retrojettison Fuse switch, off. Retrojettison Fuse switch, off.
00:03:03 Glenn: UHF/DF to normal.
00:03:19 CAPCOM: Flight path looks good. Steering is good.
00:03:22 Glenn: Roger. Understand everything looks good. G's starting to build again a little bit.
00:03:30 CAPCOM: Roger.
00:03:32 CAPCOM: Friendship Seven. Bermuda has you.
00:03:34 Glenn: Roger. Bermuda, stand by. This is Friendship Seven. Fuel 103-101 [percent], oxygen 78-100 [percent], All voltages above 25, amps 26.
00:03:48 CAPCOM: Roger. Still reading you loud and clear. Flight path is very good. Pitch, minus 3 [degrees].
00:03:53 Glenn: Roger.
00:03:56 Glenn: My pitch checks a minus seven [degrees] on your minus three [degrees].
00:04:00 CAPCOM: Roger, Seven.
00:04:08 Glenn: Friendship Seven. Fuel 103-101 [percent], oxygen 78-100 [percent], amps 25, cabin pressure holding at 5.8 [psi].
00:04:20 CAPCOM: Roger. Read you loud and clear.
00:04:25 Glenn: Roger. Cape is go and I am go. Capsule is in good shape. Fuel is 103-102 [percent], oxygen is 78-100 [percent], cabin pressure holding steady at 5.8 [psi], amps is 26. All systems are go.
00:04:44 CAPCOM: Roger. 20 seconds to SECO.
SECO stands for second stage engine cutoff.
00:04:47 Glenn: Roger.
00:04:49 Glenn: Indicating six g's.
00:04:52 Glenn: Say again.
00:04:53 CAPCOM: Still looks good.
00:04:54 Glenn: Roger.
00:05:04 Glenn: SECO, posigrades fired OK.
00:05:10 CAPCOM: Roger, stand...
