NASA Navy Vessel Retrievs in Gemini Capsule Tests
NASA operates a diverse fleet including a World War II utility landing craft converted for space work. The flagship, named Retriever, circulates in Project Gemini tests, where a parasail system designed by Manned Spacecraft Center teams aims to recover returning space capsules to land. The ship’s top speed remains a modest six knots while serving in this recovery role.
