New Book Traces Project Gemini's Path to Apollo's Success
Original: A New Book Shows How Project Gemini Led to the Glory of Apollo
A newly released book examines how Project Gemini, NASA's mid-1960s program of two-crew missions, laid the technical and operational groundwork that made the Apollo lunar landings possible. Gemini proved out spacewalking, rendezvous, docking and long-duration flight — the essential skills Apollo needed to reach the Moon.
Why now: The book's publication offers a fresh look at the often-overlooked Gemini program on the eve of renewed public interest in lunar exploration.
