Heat cuts Gemini 11 spacewalk short in Houston
Astronaut Richard Gordon cut his 115 minute spacewalk to 57 minutes because heat and sweat impaired vision. Charles Pete Conrad ordered Gordon back early while Gordon managed to reach the Agena and connect a tether. The mission aims include a high altitude record and a later stand in the hatch. Ground control reported Gordon tired but continuing the work, with planned camera and possible window cleaning tasks. The Gemini 11 mission is set to splash down Thursday in the Atlantic after a short extra-vehicular activity schedule.
