Description Astronaut Edward H. White, pilot for the Gemini IV spaceflight, floats in space during the first spacewalk by an American. The extravehicular activity, or spacewalk, was performed during the third Earth orbit of the Gemini IV mission. White is attached to the spacecraft by a 25-foot umbilical line and a 23-foot tether line, both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand White carries a Hand-Held Self-Maneuvering Unit. The visor of his helmet is gold-plated to protect him from the unfiltered rays of the sun.

Gemini 6 Views Gemini 7
Title Gemini 6 Views Gemini 7
Full Description NASA successfully completed its first rendezvous mission with two Gemini spacecraft-Gemini VII and Gemini VI-in December 1965. This photograph, taken by Gemini VII crewmembers Frank Lovell and Frank Borman, shows Gemini VI in orbit 160 miles (257 km) above Earth. 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.

A Gemini Sky
Title A Gemini Sky
Explanation Where will Gemini take us tonight? It is dusk and Gemini North [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990629.html ], one of the largest telescopes [ http://www.seds.org/billa/bigeyes.html ] on planet Earth [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010204.html ], prepares to peer into the distant universe. Gemini's flexible 8.1-mirror [ http://www.gemini.edu/media/factssheet.html ] has taken already effectively taken humanity to distant stars [ http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2003MNRAS.343..880G ], nebulas [ http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2001AAS...198.1905K ], galaxies [ http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2003AJ....125.3046D ], and quasars [ http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2003AJ....125.1053H ], telling us about the geometry, composition, and evolution of our universe. The above picture is actually a composite of over 40 images taken while the Gemini dome rotated, later adding an image of the star field taken from the same location. The Gemini dome [ http://www.gemini.edu/media/factsheets/enclosurefacts.html ] is not transparent -- it only appears so because it rotated during the exposures of this image. The constellations of Scorpius [ http://www.astronomical.org/constellations/sco.html ] and Sagittarius [ http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/constellations/Sagittarius.html ] can be seen above the dome, as well as the sweeping band [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990224.html ] of our Milky Way Galaxy [ http://www.seds.org/messier/more/mw.html ], including the direction toward the Galactic center [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap011229.html ]. Gemini North's twin, Gemini South [ http://www.gemini.edu/media/GSDedication/ ], resides in Cerro Pach n, Chile [ http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ci.html ]. This night, 2003 August 19, Gemini North [ http://www.gemini.edu/media/GNDedication/ ] took us only into the outer Solar System [ http://www.nineplanets.org/overview.html ], observing [ http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/schedules/schedIndex.html ] Pluto [ http://www.nineplanets.org/pluto.html ] in an effort to better determine the composition of its thin atmosphere.
Gemini with Agena on Earth
Title Gemini with Agena on Earth
Full Description Gemini 6 spacecraft (right) and Agena Target Vehicle (left) on the Boresight Range Tower for at the Kennedy Space Center to test the two spacecrafts? docking capability. Agena was designed to launch separately from Gemini and act as a target for astronauts in a Gemini spacecraft to rendezvous with. Gemini 6 was slated to be the first mission to dock with Agena, but a malfunction with the unmanned target resulted in new objectives for Gemini 6 calling for a one day rendezvous with Gemini 7 in December, 1965.

NGC 6934 from Gemini North
Title NGC 6934 from Gemini North
Explanation What's going on near the center of globular cluster [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap981107.html ] NGC 6934? The blur caused by the Earth's atmosphere [ http://www.aspire.cs.uah.edu/~jonesj/r.html ] has prevented astronomers from discerning individual stars in this unusual environment. Telescopes in space [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap970306.html ] can help [ http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1999AJ....117..264P ], but the new Gemini North telescope [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990629.html ] took the above picture [ http://www.gemini.edu/dedication/ngc6934.html ] from the ground. In infrared light [ http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/Outreach/Edu/discovery.html ], Gemini was able to use its adaptive optic mirrors [ http://claret.kpno.noao.edu/wiyn/wttm.html ] to resolve stars even near the globular cluster's center. NGC 6934 [ http://adsbit.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_query?1973AJ.....78..242H ] is a 15 billion-year-old ball of hundreds of thousands of stars. Dating stars in ancient globular clusters [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990117.html ] like NGC 6934 provide valuable constraints on the minimum age of the universe [ http://www.ess.sunysb.edu/~simswg/siswg/node19.html ].
