Gemini flights Gemini 1 to Gemini 12

In the Gemini Program two astronauts were brought into an orbit close to Earth.

The Geminiproject included 10 manned missions (Gemini 3 to Gemini 12) in the years 1965 and 1966 and was the prepartion project for the Apollo Moonlanding Program.

The Gemini spaceship was constructed for 2 astronauts and during the 10 manned flights the main objective was to carry out rendez-vous trials and orbit corrections.

As well it should be checked some spacemedical investigations, trials for geophysics  and astrophysics and as well of course the needed EVA activities.

The spacecraft has been the Titan II rocket.

With the Geminiproject the US could come closer to the Russian Sojus development and closer to the competition of reaching manned spaceflight to Moon.
