“Go” for a Third Orbit

At this point Hawaii faded from contact, and the next station on his track was Point Arguello, California, manned by CapCom Alan Shepard who, after confirming solid communications, asked for a short report. Carpenter replied that his fuel levels were now down to 45 percent in the manual supply and 50 percent in the automatic supply. He also stated that his suit temperature had dropped a little further, and now stood at 70 degrees. There was some good news in store when Shepard confirmed that the MA-7 mission had been given the “go” to complete a third orbit. However there was a further warning from Mercury Control about his excess fuel consumption. 03 00 15 (Point Arguello): General Kraft is still somewhat concerned about auto fuel. Use as little auto … use no auto fuel unless you have to prior to retrosequence time. And I think maybe you might increase flow to your inverter heat exchanger to try to bring the temperature down. They are not critical yet, however.
