PREFACE
This preliminary transcript was made from voice tape recordings
of the GT-5 flight crew debriefing conducted August 30, 1965 thru
September 1, 1965 at the Crew Quarters, Cape Kennedy , Florida.
Although all the material contained in this transcript has been
edited, the urgent need for the preliminary transcript by mission
analysis personnel precluded a thorough editorial review prior to its
publication.
Errors in this transcript will be corrected as soon as
possible and an official transcript will be published at a later date .
This document contains a transcript of the first part of the
debriefing, during which the crew described the mission generally
from an operational viewpoint.
A preliminary transcript of the re­
mainder of the debriefing will be published by September 3, 1965. It
will cover systems operations , operational checks, visual sightings,
experiments , pre-mission planning, mission control , and training.
