	Gemini 6A - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gemini 6 was originally intended to be the first mission to dock with an Agena Target Vehicle.
		However, after a failure in the Agena target 6 minutes after its launch (when the crew of Gemini 6 was already sitting in their capsule waiting for their launch), the mission was canceled.
		The Gemini 6 spacecraft is shown superimposed on the "twin stars" Castor and Pollux, for "Gemini".

	Project Gemini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original intention was for Gemini to use a paraglider instead of a parachute, and 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.
		Gemini was the first American manned spacecraft to include an onboard computer, the Gemini Guidance Computer, to facilitate management and control of mission maneuvers.

	Space Mission Patches - Gemini 6A Patch
		After the failed launch of the Agena target vehicle, and the decision to rendezvous with Gemini 7 instead, the patch was redesigned with the legend "GEMINI 6" in place of the original "GTA-6" legend, and with a second Gemini in place of the Agena.
		After the mission was revised to rendezvous with Gemini 7 instead of the Agena target vehicle, the patch was redesigned with the designation "GEMINI 6" in place of the original "GTA-6", and the outline of a Gemini spacecraft in place of the Agena.

	Gemini 6: The NASA Mission Reports
		Gemini 6 was the fifth manned flight of America’s two-man spacecraft.
		On October 25th 1965 the target vehicle, known as Atlas/Agena failed to make orbit and so the crew of Gemini 6 were suddenly presented with a totally revised and audacious flight plan.
		The long duration Gemini 7 mission was already scheduled for launch and so the crew of Gemini 6 were told that NASA would attempt a double manned mission and rendezvous.

		This photograph of the Gemini 7 spacecraft was taken from the hatch window of the Gemini 6 spacecraft during rendezvous and station keeping maneuvers at an altitude of approximately 160 miles on December 15, 1965.
		Gemini 1 made 64 orbits and confirmed that the Titan II launch vehicle and the spacecraft were compatible.
		The Gemini VI flight, scheduled for launch on October 25, 1965, was scrubbed when the Agena target spacecraft with which the crew had planned to rendezvous and dock exploded during its launch.

		Note lack of a docking hatch in Gemini is accommodated by having docking collar as large as the base of the Gemini re-entry vehicle itself.
		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 6
		Gemini 6 was to have been the first flight involving docking with an Agena target/propulsion stage.
		Gemini Agena target vehicle 5002 completed preliminary systems testing at Hanger E and was transferred to Merritt Island Launch Area, where it was joined by spacecraft No. 6 for Plan X testing.
		In the ashes of this setback, the idea of launching Gemini 6 to rendezvous with Gemini 7 was born.

		He served as the backup command pilot for Gemini GT-3 (Gemini-Titan), the first American two-man space mission flown by Grissom and John W. Young, an astronaut chosen with the second astronaut class dubbed the "New Nine." On June 22, 1965, Schirra was nominated by President Lyndon B. Johnson for promotion from commander to captain.
		Gemini 6 was removed from the pad and replaced by Gemini 7, which was launched on December 4, 1965, on a planned 14-day flight.
		Gemini 6 was redesignated Gemini 6-A. Eight days later, Schirra and pilot Thomas P. Stafford were in their spacecraft atop the Titan II booster when it ignited, then shut down after only two seconds.

	Manned Space Chronology: Gemini 6A
		On October 28, 1965 the White House issued a statement that the manned Gemini 6 spacecraft would attempt a rendezvous with the manned Gemini 7 spacecraft later in the year.
		Primary mission objectives included a rendezvous with the Gemini 7 spacecraft, stationkeeping during joint rendezvous operations, testing the visibility and communications between the two spacecraft and the performance of three on-board experiments.
		The Gemini 6A spacecraft was then maneuvered away, and the two spacecraft flew in formation at a distance of about 30 miles until Gemini 6A commenced re-entry operations.

		Gemini VI was the last of the program's battery-powered spacecraft, which limited the flight to two days at most.

		Gemini VIII's problems were certainly the most frustrating of any Gemini had yet encountered.
		But Gemini VIII's failure had forced the astronauts to resort to a last-ditch mode for attitude control before the ground crews had a chance to provide the options that might have allowed the flight to go on.
		There was still hope that the Agena for Gemini VIII might be used as a passive target for Gemini IX or X. "Uplink" was a term used by flight controllers to denote information telemetered from the tracking network to the spacecraft and Agena.
