65-H-1979 - Caption on reverse:
"A test series on EVA has been completed by the engineers of NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC), Space Medicine and Crew Systems Divisions. Test subject Jack Slight, wearing a Gemini spacesuit and strapped into a 6-degree of freedom zero gravity simulator, 'walked' through space from a mockup of the Gemini Spacecraft and Agena target vehicle as they were docked together on the laboratory floor at the MSC. Slight opened a panel on the side of the Agena which represented a micrometeoroid collection experiment that will be flown on a later Gemini mission. In a second set of maneuvers, he retrieved the trap and carried it back to the spacecraft. The purpose of the tests is to determine the procedures necessary for performing the task in space, to define the procedures necessary for the astronaut to perform the experiment, and design verification of the experiment. The tests will be performed again next month in a true weightless condition in the cabin of an KC-135 aircraft flying a trajectory which produces weightlessness for a period of 30 seconds. Martin Debrovner, Space Medicine Branch, is test conductor for the series [of tests]."
