	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 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).
		Gemini 4's tanks were only half the size of later models, and the fuel can to be conserved for essential maneuvering later in the mission.

	Space Mission Patches - Gemini Index
		On Gemini 5, 6, 8 and 9 the mission patch was worn on the right breast; on the remaining missions (7, 10, 11, 12) the patch was worn on the right upper arm -- in some cases almost down at the elbow.
		Gemini 8 accomplished one of the Gemini program's major objectives -- docking with another spacecraft -- before being prematurely terminated due to the spacecraft spinning out of control due to a stuck thruster.
		Gemini 10 accomplished the first-ever double rendezvous: after docking with their own Agena target vehicle, they used its engine to raise their orbit to allow them to rendezvous with Gemini 8's abandoned Agena.

		Gemini 5's Titan II first stage survived staging (a feat in itself, considering the Titan II's "fire-in-the-hole" staging process, wherein the second stage engine ignited before the first stage was even severed, which sometimes just blew the first stage to pieces), re-entry, and unassisted splashdown.
		Gemini 5's computer fires the retro rockets early (someone fed it the wrong command from the ground), causing Gordo and Pete to abandon the planned demonstration of the controlled-re-entry guidance system, and they end up landing some 91 miles short of the planned splashdown area.
		Gemini 5, despite a few problems, was a valuable step on the long road to the Moon, and the United States can now claim the lead in the space race with the Soviets.

	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.
		The Gemini 9A spacecraft began moving away from the ATDA at a mission elapsed time of 22 hours, 59 minutes.
		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".

		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.

		One of the Gemini program's objectives was to prove rendezvous and docking in Earth orbit, in preparation for the Apollo moon missions.
		Gemini 7 was primarily a fourteen day long duration mission and so it didn't have an Agena.
		Gemini 8 was sent to a zone designated "Zone 7-3" in the western Pacific in range of military rescue aircraft at Okinawa.

	Project Gemini History
		On March 13, 1965, Gemini III (known as the Molly brown) rocketed into orbit with her crew of Virgil I. Grissom and John W. Young and the crew completed a three orbit mission that lasted for 4 hours and 52 minutes.
		Gemini V was the first mission to use electric fuel cells and special navigation equipment that would be used for rendezvous.
		Primary objective was to rendezvous and dock with Gemini Agena target vehicle (GATV-5003) launched on March 16, 1966 from Complex 14 and conduct EVA operations.

	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.

		Project Gemini was a transitional step between the pioneering Mercury Program and the actual goal of landing a man on the moon.
		The main objectives of the ten Gemini missions spanning a period of 20 months from 1965 to 1966, were to learn how to "fly" a spacecraft by 1) maneuvering it in orbit and by 2) rendezvousing and docking with other vehicles, which were essential skills for the later Apollo missions.
		One of these missions, Gemini VIII, nearly killed the man who would go on to be the first man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong.

		NASA assigned the Gemini IX prime crew positions to Stafford and Cernan, marking the first time in the agency's manned space flight history that a backup crew had taken over a mission.
		Gemini IX Astronauts Elliot M. See, Jr., and Charles A. Bassett II were killed when their T-38 jet training plane crashed in rain and fog short of the St. Louis Municipal Airport.
		The jet, which had been cleared for an instrument landing, was left of center in its approach to the runway when it turned toward the McDonnell complex, 1000 feet from the landing strip.

	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.
		A variant embroidered patch that, while not as faithful to the design reference (the shape is altered, the design elements smaller, and the Agena elongated), is very similar to the patch actually worn by the Gemini 9A crew -- except for the addition of the crew names.

	Gemini 9A - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In retrospect it is a bit surprising that considering the consummate detail that was employed in the design of spacecraft and mission planning that (a) such an ambitious mission would be planned as only the second US space walk and (b) so little attention was paid to handholds and astronaut positioning.
		Aside from the lack of handholds, the Gemini spacesuit was cooled by air.

		Gemini was becoming more routine, hence less newsworthy.
		Meanwhile, the Gemini IX Atlas and Agena had plunged into the Atlantic Ocean 198 kilometers from where they had started.
		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.
