	Manned Space Chronology: Gemini 11
		The Gemini 11 GATV was launched as the second stage of an Atlas-Agena rocket at 8:05 a.m.
		One of the primary objectives of the Gemini 11 mission was to complete a rendezvous and docking with the GATV on the first orbit, a procedure that might become necessary during the course of the upcoming Apollo program.
		The main objective of Gordon during the spacewalk was to attach a 50-foot rope tether from the GATV to a docking bar on the Gemini 11 spacecraft.

	Gemini Project
		Gemini 1 was to check compatibility between the Gemini spacecraft and the Titan II launch vehicle (see Gemini-Titan II) and no attempt was made to separate the two during their brief flight.
		Gemini 4’s goals were to evaluate the spacecraft and crew during a lengthy stay in space, rendezvous with the spent Titan II second stage, carry out the first American spacewalk, and continue testing the Orbital Attitude Maneuvering System (OAMS).
		After Gemini 12 had docked with its GATV, Aldrin carried out the first of three spacewalks, attaching a 30-m rope from the GATV to a docking bar on the capsule – a tether twice as long as that used on Gemini 11.

		It shows that images of the object that appears in the photographs taken September 13, 1966 from the Gemini 11 spacecraft and the verbal testimony of the astronauts are not consistent with the claim by NORAD that the object was the Russian Proton 3 satellite (and its booster rocket) at a distance of 450 km.
		The second paper, "An Update on the Gemini 11 Sighting of an Object from Orbit," was published, in shortened form, in the NICAP INVESTIGATOR in August, 1977.
		Gemini 11 is down over south Africa on the night side of its 18th revolution,within range of Tananarive now.

	Gemini
		Truth be told, a Gemini launched atop a Titan 3E or Saturn IVB Centaur could have accomplished a circumlunar flight as early as 1966 and, using earth orbit rendezvous techniques, a landing at least a year before Apollo.
		Gemini was to have continued to fly into the 1970's as the return capsule of the USAF Manned Orbiting Laboratory program.
		Gemini Project Office (GPO) reported that it was investigating the use of a parasail and landing rocket system to enable the Gemini spacecraft to make land landings.

	Gemini Program
		This was the second uncrewed Gemini test mission, consisting of a sub-orbital ballistic flight and reentry with the primary objectives being to demonstrate the adequacy of the spacecraft reentry module's heat protection during a maximum heating rate return, the structural integrity of the spacecraft, and the performance of spacecraft systems.
		Gemini 3 was launched from Complex 19 and inserted 5 minutes 54 seconds later into a 161.2x224.2 km orbit with a period of 88.3 minutes.
		Gemini 6A caught up to Gemini 7 and rendezvous was technically achieved and stationkeeping begun on 15 December at 19:33 UTC with the two Gemini spacecraft in zero relative motion at a distance of 110 meters.

	Manned Space Chronology: Gemini 12
		As the Gemini 12 spacecraft began its approach to the GATV, the radar system used as a rendezvous tool failed, and the crew completed a manual rendezvous that was achieved at a mission elapsed time of 3 hours, 46 minutes.
		As had been the case during Gemini 10 and Gemini 11, the mated spacecraft were to have been boosted to a higher altitude through the firing of the GATV multiple-start engine thrusters.
		As in Gemini 11, the tethered spacecraft were maneuvered to rotate around one another yet remained very stable and generated a miniscule amount of artificial gravity.

		Gemini 8's prime objectives were to perform the first successful docking with the Gemini Agena Target Vehicle (GATV), and the second American spacewalk.
		Gemini 8's thruster malfunctions were traced by McDonnell to an electrical short circuit that caused the fuel-flow solenoid in the thruster to stick open, thus causing the thruster to fire continuously.
		While only one of Gemini 8's major objectives was achieved (the docking with the Agena) and the mission was brought home early, NASA couldn't help but be impressed with the cool-headed way Neil and Dave brought the potential disaster under control.

	Humans in Space: Gemini 11
		During the Gemini 11 mission, astronauts Dick Gordon and Pete Conrad spent three days in space, practicing the skills needed for the Apollo moon missions and carrying out the twelve experiments on board.
		The inside of the Gemini capsule is very small—so small that the astronauts had to put on their space suits and open the capsule hatch if they wanted to stand up.
		The Gemini 11 on display in the Air and Space Gallery is the actual capsule that went out into space in September 1966, on loan to us from the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution.

	Project Gemini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original intention was for Gemini to land on solid ground instead of at sea, using a paraglider rather than a parachute, and for the crew to be seated upright controlling the forward motion of the craft before its landing.
		Gemini is also the name of the third constellation of the Zodiac and its twin stars, Castor and Pollux.
		The Gemini program was managed by the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas, under direction of the Office of Manned Space Flight, NASA Headquarters, Washington, D.C, Dr. George E. Mueller, Associate Administrator of NASA for Manned Space Flight, served as acting director of the Gemini program.

		During the period of the mid-1960s, Gemini gave the United States a big lead over the Soviet Union in the race to the Moon.
		Beginning with the meeting in orbit of Geminis 6 and 7 in December 1965, the Gemini program also proved that rendezvousing and docking of spacecraft was a relatively easy task for the trained astronauts.
		Finally, the 14-day flight of Gemini 7 proved that men could survive in space long enough for a round trip flight to the Moon.
