"Gemini B" heatshield
The heatshield of a USAF "Gemini B" capsule. The circular feature near the top of the heatshield was a hatch, intended to give the astronauts access to a space station (MOL, Manned Orbiting Laboratory) attached to the rear.
On display at the Museum of the USAF in Dayton, Ohio; read all about it in the scientific tourist #40.
