Gemini Space Project: Exploring New Horizons

Dive into the iconic Gemini Space Project, where two brave astronauts ventured into space to pave the way for Apollo missions. With 10 successful launches between March 1965 and November 1966, Gemini aimed to develop vital space travel techniques. Gemini VI & VII achieved a historic first with the docking of two manned spacecraft in outer space. Witness Gus Grissom's daring extravehicular space walk during Gemini IV, lasting an impressive 22 minutes. Explore how astronauts lived for eight days onboard this innovative spacecraft. Uncover the fascinating science behind Gemini's rocket engines while admiring the significant splashdown landings. Follow the journey of these space pioneers as they conquered new frontiers and expanded our understanding of space exploration.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Use the information in the slides to create a TEAM poster…just like your homework! (80 pts) listing the eight most important facts and accomplishments of this project. (5 pts) Include a hand drawing of the insignia. (5 pts) Include a hand drawing of the rocket (10 pts) Give it a title…the project’s name Be sure to make the writing easy to read…and colorful!

  2. Project Gemini • Carried two people into space • Goal was to develop space travel techniques that would help them be ready for the later Apollo missions. • 10 different launches • March 1965-November 1966 Named after the constellation Gemini, the twins. Why would NASA name it after twins?

  3. Gemini VI & VII: First docking (joining) of two manned spacecraft…in outer space!! One of the rocket engines. About as tall as a basketball hoop.

  4. Here, astronauts could live for eight days • First extravehicular (outside of space vehicle) space walk: Gus Grissom, Gemini IV • He was on a space walk for 22 minutes! • Why is he wearing a tether/leash in outer space? • Go back to our Science page and watch a video of his space walk!

  5. Landing: Splashdown
