[sci.space.shuttle] Shuttle Mission Voice Transcripts

fcs@hardy.hdw.csd.harris.com (Fred Sabernick) (01/16/90)

Does anyone know if transcripts of the actual Shuttle/Mission Control
voice communications are published or obtainable in some fashion?

I realize that with the volume of communications and the number of
acronyms it might make boring reading, but I think you could pick parts
that were of special interest (such as LDEF recovery) based on mission
time and maybe scan the rest.

Thanks in advance.

I have the complete transcripts for STS-9, the first Spacelab mission.
They look to be about 3000 pages total

Be careful what you ask for, you might get it! :-)

BTW, anyone have transcripts for the Gemini flights. I've managed to collect
all of the Mercury and most Apollo transcripts, but have yet to find
any from Gemini.
