Gemini 11 mission to test in-space coupling and artificial gravity
Gemini 11 will launch September 9 with Cmdr Charles Conrad Jr and Lt Cmdr Richard F Gordon Jr to attempt a first orbit rendezvous with an Agena satellite. They will link with a 100 foot line, spin to simulate artificial gravity, and perform space walks and a high altitude pass to study radiation, fluid behavior, and lunar mission instrumentation. The test aims to evaluate fuel-saving rendezvous techniques and potential long duration station keeping for future missions.
