Description
Gemini 5 Flown On-Board Testing Checklist Page with Mission Launch Photo, in Matted Display. A 4.25" x 6.5" page titled "HF EVALUATION TEST/ (TEST 4)" with a 4.25" x 5.5" B&W photo of the liftoff, double matted to an overall 16" x 14" and ready to frame. It bears a Ken Havekotte stamp on the verso and a date of 1995. An interesting item. Excellent.This original onboard checklist leaf was used during the Gemini 5 mission, detailing spacecraft configuration, timing, and operating procedure for a scheduled high-frequency communications evaluation. The page instructs the crew in setting the HF radio, antenna, scanner, squelch, and audio controls, then monitoring transmissions from the Hawaii ground station ("HAW") during a defined mission-elapsed GMT window. A note further specifies that Hawaii would transmit a 1000 cps tone at 80% modulation, confirming that this was an engineering communications test rather than routine operational voice traffic. References to CP and P indicate crew-use switch positions for the Command Pilot (Gordon Cooper) and Pilot (Charles Conrad). As such, the sheet is best understood as part of a mission-carried Gemini 5 communications or systems test checklist, used in orbit as a step-by-step procedure for evaluating the spacecraft's HF reception performance.
