“Docking in Space--Artist’s concept of rendezvous of the Gemini spacecraft and the Agena vehicle. They latch together as a result of visual observation by the Gemini astronauts.”

 

What's on the verso:

 

"FOR RELEASE: February 28, 1964

PHOTO NO: 62-Gemini-65"

 

While the release date is likely/hopefully correct, I'm certain the photo number is not. The 1962 version of the image has differences which identify it as being an earlier rendering. Even the poorly worded second sentence of the caption is more expected of something from 1962 & HOPEFULLY, not of something from 1964.

 

The caption is associated with the "SPACE WORLD" magazine cover linked to below.
