FRANK BORMAN, JAMES A LOVELL JR. Gemini VI in orbit 160 miles (257 km) above Earth, December 15,1965. Creators: James A Lovell Jr, Frank Borman.

FRANK BORMAN et JAMES A LOVELL JR. Gemini VI in orbit 160 miles (257 km) above Earth, December 15, 1965. Gemini VI spacecraft seen through the hatch window of Gemini VII during rendezvous and station-keeping manoeuvres. With these missions, NASA successfully completed the first rendezvous of two manned spacecraft. The main purpose of Gemini VI, crewed by astronauts Walter Schirra and Thomas Stafford, was the rendezvous with Gemini VII. The main purpose of Gemini VII, on the other hand, was studying the long-term effects of long-duration (up to 14 days) space flight on a two-man crew. The pair also carried out 20 experiments, including medical tests. Although the principal objectives of both missions differed, they were both carried out so that NASA could master the technical challenges of getting into and working in space. This photograph was taken by Gemini VII crewmembers Jim Lovell and Frank Borman.
