	Gemini 9
		And in April 1966, just a month before the attempted launch of Gemini IX, Schneider had reminded Preston that he would have to be ready to launch the alternate target in a hurry if the Agena again failed to keep its orbital appointment.
		Stafford stayed 9 to 12 meters from the target but moved to a ticklish position only centimeters away in daylight.
		Now Cernan found that even those installed on Spacecraft 9 were inadequate and that the Velcro was not strong enough to keep his body in position as he edged back toward the adapter.

	The First Era in Space, 1957-1975
		The integrity of the suit and systems of the Gemini craft were severely tested during the flight, when Cernan made a difficult spacewalk that had to be abbreviated when he found it difficult to control his movements in the zero gravity vacuum of space.
		On February 28, the Gemini 9 backup crew of Tom Stafford and Gene Cernan (top) were flying alongside Gemini 9 prime crew members Elliot See and Charles Bassett (seated) in a T-38 airplane en route to the St. Louis facility of spacecraft contractor McDonnell Aircraft when the latter plane crashed, killing See and Bassett.
		Given the difficult circumstances by which they became the prime crew for Gemini 9 in the wake of the deaths of astronauts Bassett and See, and the failure of their docking target to deploy properly, Stafford and Cernan performed exceptionally well during the mission.

	Image of the Day
		By the time Gemini was flying the space agency had pretty much decided how it was going to get to the Moon, and it knew that astronauts and flight controllers alike had to learn how to rendezvous and dock two spaceships together.
		To salvage the Gemini 9 mission, a back-up plan was put in work in which a spaceship known as the Augmented Target Docking Adapter was lofted into orbit by an Atlas.
		But when the manned Gemini 9 capsule arrived on the scene they discovered that the nose cone was partially in place and blocking the docking collar.

	Gemini Science Requirements
		The purpose of the Gemini Science Requirements documents is to identify the main scientific goals of the project and to provide a logical framework for the project staff to develop the engineering requirements for the telescope systems.
		As such the goal of Gemini operations is the effective utilization of these facilities to exploit the unique characteristics of the telescopes and sites, and execute the highest priority observations as identified by the partners, consistent with the allocation of time among the partner countries.
		Instrument planning for Gemini to date has taken into consideration the key science programmes, the properties of the telescopes described in the previous section, the current state of instrumentation and detectors, and projections for future developments, especially in the areas of adaptive optics and detectors.

		The U.S. Air Force, which was planning to use the Gemini spacecraft as part of the Manned Orbiting Laboratory, designed the Astronaut Maneuvering Unit (AMU), which was a backpack, using hydrogen peroxide as the fuel.
		The AMU was flown aboard the Gemini 9 mission, but was not tested because the astronaut, Eugene Cernan, had difficulty maneuvering from the Gemini cabin to the AMU storage place, at the back of the spacecraft, and overheated, causing his helmet faceplate to fog up.
		The Skylab AMU was the closest to the Shuttle MMU, but was not used outside of the spacecraft because the EVAs were conducted with the astronauts attached to life support umbilicals, and to prevent damage to the delicate solar arrays on the Apollo Telescope Mount.

	Simplified Scientific Astrology, by Max Heindel, HTML Page 2 of 4
		In this horoscope the Common signs Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces, contain no planets, but Virgo, the other Common sign, has Jupiter and Venus; hence these are entered under the list of planets in Common signs, as is also the Part of Fortune.
		Mars in 24-30 Aries is in conjunction with Venus in 0-30 Taurus; Mercury in 26-0 Taurus is sextile Jupiter in 2-0 Leo; Saturn in 27-9 Gemini is square Uranus in 2-0 Libra; Neptune in 28-0 Cancer is trine Mars in 3-0 Sagittarius; Venus in 29-30 Leo is in opposition to Mercury in 5-30 Pisces.
		Mercury is a planet of a variable nature; it takes on the color and characteristics of any sign or planet with which it is configurated; therefore it has no particular affinity with any of the other planets or signs ruled by the other planets, and hence must seek exaltation in its own signs.

		The Gemini 9 Augmented Target Docking Adapter (ATDA) was launched from Cape Canaveral using an Atlas-Agena D rocket at 10:00:02 a.m.
		This was confirmed when Gemini 9 was launched two days later and the astronauts observed the launch shroud still on the ATDA blocking the docking port, looking, according to Tom Stafford, like an "angry alligator".
		The Gemini program was designed as a bridge between the Mercury and Apollo programs, primarily to test equipment and mission procedures in Earth orbit and to train astronauts and ground crews for future Apollo missions.

	Manned Space Chronology: Gemini 9A
		A subsequent launch attempt of the Gemini 9A spacecraft on June 1, 1966 was scrubbed due to a ground equipment failure which prevented the transfer of data to the spacecraft computer.
		Although a spacewalk by astronaut Cernan was scheduled for the second day of the mission, it was postponed due to crew fatigue, and the crew devoted their second day in space to experiments.
		Like the spacewalk performed by astronaut White during Gemini 4, Cernan remained tethered to the Gemini spacecraft by a 25-foot life support umbilical line, which Cernan also found to be unruly and later nicknamed "the snake".

	Space Mission Patches - Gemini 9A Patch
		The patch is in the shape of a shield, showing Gemini docked to Agena, with a spacewalking astronaut whose umbilical traces out the number 9.
		In the course of events, the originally planned Agena target was lost due to a failed launch; and the launch shroud on the replacement ATDA (augmented target docking adapter) failed to deploy properly, thwarting the docking attempt.
		While the mission designation was changed to Gemini-Titan IXA to reflect this substitution and the corresponding change in mission objectives, the patch was not updated -- in contrast to the revision of the Gemini 6A patch under similar circumstances.
