| | On The Shoulders of Titans - Ch10-3 |
 | | Spacecraft 3 went through a complete end-to-end propulsion systems verification test program, including static firing (as had its predecessor), partly to check out procedures and gear, partly to build some confidence in systems [227] whose development had been fraught with problems and which were not yet fully qualified. |
 | | Members of the Spacecraft 3 DEI were Low, Charles, Mathews, Duncan Collins (Gemini Spacecraft Office), Bailey, Max Faget (Director, Engineering and Development), Christopher Kraft (Director, Flight Operations), Grissom (in a dual role as astronaut and representative of Flight Crew Operations), John Williams (Florida Operations), and Robert Everline (Gemini) as recording secretary. |
