“GEMINI spacecraft orbits the earth after being launched into space by the GEMINI-TITAN II launch vehicle, a modified Air Force TITAN II ICBM. The two-man vehicle could be headed for a rendezvous attempt with another spacecraft or it could be on an extended flight of a week or more giving the crew experience in flight through outer space. Project GEMINI, under direction of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is an intermediate step between the current Mercury program and the three-man Apollo spacecraft which is being designed for a landing on the moon in this decade. Martin Company’s Space Systems Division near Baltimore is developing the GEMINI launch vehicle for the program while McDonnell Aircraft Corporation is building the spacecraft.”
