“LIKE THE GEMINI 11 mission last September, Gemini 12 also will experiment with tethered vehicle flight. Aldrin will attach line between spacecraft and Agena target during space walk while vehicles are docked. After separation the two vehicles will remain linked by line for further study of tethered flight as a means of holding formation in space and conserving maneuvering fuel.”
Formerly from the personal collection of Richard Bossler, a gentleman and a scholar…who was THERE.
No such thing as too much Russ Arasmith. Am I right or what?!?
Below is the Bab al-Mandab Strait, bridging the Red Sea & Gulf of Aden. The area of heavier cloud cover is over Djibouti. Striking.
