97:25:53 CC It also turned out that, if we decide not to go for the eighth day and go for the ninth, the maneuver comes out in the middle of your sleep period. We're probably going to reshape that thing so we do two sets of maneuvers; one before you go to sleep, and one after you wake up.
97:26:12 P That's very considerate.
97:26:16 CC And the way we're going to do this thing is do two maneuvers. We'll bring up perigee and then bring down apogee within the fuel budget we have.
97:26:27 P Roger.
97:26:37 CC Gemini VII, you have a Tₓ coming up in about half a minute.
97:26:41 P Roger. Is that the finish of the flight plan update?
97:26:46 CC Negative. I've just a little bit more here.
97:27:12 P I've received the Tₓ.
97:27:17 CC Roger. VII. And for your information, if we don't circularize tomorrow - if we go for a Monday launch - we will be circularizing you on Sunday.
97:27:30 P Roger.
97:27:33 CC Are you ready to copy these additional instructions for the Test Number 3?
97:27:38 C All right. Stand by.
97:27:44 P Go ahead.
97:27:47 CC When you try to calibrate on this test, if you get no calibration, here are the instructions. If reticle stays GREEN, put a hand over the objective lens and see if the color changes. If the reticle stays RED, remove the day filter leaving the photometer in the DAY position, and try to calibrate on the water. Do you copy?
