Gemini Goals
The second U.S. manned space program
was announced in January 1962.
Its two-man crew gave it its name, Gemini, for the third
constellation of the
Zodiac and its twin stars, Castor and Pollux. Gemini
involved 12 flights,
including two unmanned flight tests of the equipment. Like
Mercury's, its major objectives were clear-cut:
- To subject man and equipment to space flight up to
two weeks in duration.
- To rendezvous and dock with orbiting vehicles and to maneuver the docked combination by using the target vehicle's propulsion system;
-
To perfect methods of entering the atmosphere and
landing at a preselected point on land. Its goals were
also met, with the exception of a land landing, which
was cancelled in 1964.
