Definition

  • Spacecraft Brief Description Gemini 11 was the ninth manned earth-orbiting spacecraft of the Gemini series. The 3-day mission was designed to achieve a first orbit rendezvous and docking with the agena target vehicle, to accomplish two extravehicular activity (EVA) tests, and to perform spacecraft maneuvers. There were also eight scientific and four technological experiments on board. The scientific experiments were (1) synergistic effect of zero-g and radiation on white blood cells, (2) synoptic terrain photography, (3) synoptic weather photography, (4) nuclear emulsions, (5) airglow horizon photography, (6) UV astronomical photography, (7) Gemini ion wake measurement, and (8) dim sky photography. The experiments and the other mission objectives were successfully completed. Reentry occurred after 44 orbits using the first closed-loop automatic reentry mode. The spacecraft landed within 4.8 km of the planned impact point on september 15, 1966.
