LV GEMINI-7 NEAR GEMINI-6 (SILENT) 2.23 TRANSCRIPT: MATTHEWS: "Okay, this is a picture of 7 broadside to 6. You see the horizon scanners operating here; this is the mirror on the horizon scanner. This, of course, is one of the doors for the B-47 experiment. You can see the thruster configurations. Yes, these particular....appear to be the....plastic that contains the....charges....mounted in deep-fibre with a plastic cover. This is quite light and looks more like the plastic than anything else. This boom, of course, is part of the magnetometer experiment that extends out the adapter. This spot is probably some ice formation on the water boiler......And it looks like planes flying in formation. (UNINTELLIGIBLE QUESTION). As you can see, the spacecraft 7 is going blunt-end forward. Spacecraft 6 is sort of off the side. (PAUSE). This is a picture at night showing this thermal bank. Again you can see the colour contrast in the shadowed part and the sunlit part. It's typical of space operations....This, of course, is the spiral antenna for the transponder, and now you can see the horizon scanners again. These lines are the drogue and parachute lines..."
