The purpose of the Gemini program was to make preparations for the Apollo program - test equipment, train astronauts, and perfect rendezvous and docking maneuvers that would be necessary for a successful lunar landing. In addition, the Gemini program was to continue the studies which had begun with the Mercury program: to investigate man's capability to perform in a weightless condition over extended periods of time, to determine psychological and physiological reactions of crew members to extended flights, and to carry out scientific investigations of space. |
