Gemini XI

RealSpace Models Gemini capsule and Agena docking target. I build the kit as Gemini XI. The mission started on 12th of September 1966 and last until 15th of September 1966. Astronauts, Command Pilot Pete Conrad and Pilot Duke Gordon. Several docking manouvers, EVA's, and, using the Agena rocket engine, raising the apogee to 1.373 Km, the highest Earth orbit ever reached by a manned space craft at that time, made the mission a great success. Conrad and Gordon flew again with Alan Bean in Apollo 12.
