The Gemini Program

Gemini 1 Lauch

Apr 8, 1964

An uncrewed orbital test of the Titan 2 launch vehicle, This was the first production of the Gemini spacecraft and launch vehicle.

Gemini 2 Launch

Jan 19, 1965

the second uncrewed Gemini test mission, consisting of a sub-orbital flight. this Spacecraft was used to test communications, cryogenics, fuel and cell reactant supply system and different qualifications of the spacecraft.

Gemini 3 Lauch

Mar 23, 1965

Gemini 3 was the first crewed Earth-orbiting spacecraft of the Gemini series. This spaceship was used to demonstrate crewed qualifications of the spacecraft.

Gemini 4 Launch

Jun 3, 1965

Gemini 3 was the second crewed spacecraft of the Gemini series. The first spacewalk was taken while in this spacecraft. This Spacecraft was used to test performance and schedule of the astronauts.

Gemini 5 Launch

Aug 21, 1965

First long duration space mission of the Gemini series.

Gemini 7 Launch

Dec 4, 1965

Gemini 7 was the fourth crewed Earth-orbiting spacecraft of the Gemini series. Its mission priorities were to demonstrate a 2-week flight, to evaluate the 'shirt sleeve' environment and the lightweight pressure suit. this spacecraft was launched before Gemini 6A.

Gemini 6A Launch

Dec 15, 1965

Gemini 6A was the fifth crewed Earth-orbiting spacecraft of the Gemini series, although it was launched after Gemini 7, it was originally scheduled to launch 2 months prior.

Gemini 8 Launch

Mar 16, 1966

Gemini 8 was the sixth crewed Earth-orbiting spacecraft of the Gemini series. This Spacecraft carried Neil Armstrong and David Scott. mission objectives were to perform rendezvous and four docking tests with the Agena target vehicle.

Gemini 9A Launch

Jun 3, 1966

Gemini 9A was the seventh crewed Earth-orbiting spacecraft of the Gemini series. The Main Mission was docking with a target vehicle to simulate maneuvers to be carried out on future Apollo missions

Gemini 10 Launch

Jul 18, 1966

Gemini 10 was the eighth crewed Earth-orbiting spacecraft of the Gemini series. This Launch included a bunch of medical and Scientific test.

Gemini 11 Launch

Sep 12, 1966

Gemini 11 was the ninth crewed Earth-orbiting spacecraft of the Gemini series. The mission was designed to perform docking practice, docked configuration maneuvers, tethered operations, parking of the Agena target vehicle and demonstrate an automatic reentry.

Gemini 12 Launch

Nov 11, 1966

Gemini 12 was the tenth and final flight of the Gemini series, which bridged the Mercury and Apollo programs. The purpose of the mission was to conduct a tethered station keeping exercise, to perform docked maneuvers using the Agena propulsion system to change orbit, and demonstrate an automatic reentry. There were also 14 scientific, medical, and technological experiments on board.
