NASA (Gemini X)
Photomontage of the launch of the Titan rocket carrying John Young and Michael Collins to the highest Earth orbit hitherto reached by humans, 18July 1966
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1966, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 20,3 x 25,4 cm
The Gemini-Titan X spacecraft carrying astronauts John Young, Command Pilot, and Michael Collins Pilot, was successfully launched by the NASA from the Kennedy Space Center’s (KSC) Launch Complex 19 at 5:20 p.m. (EST), July 18, 1966, boosting the astronauts into a 187-by-99-mile elliptical orbit within fourteen minutes. An Atlas rocket carrying the Agena 10 was launched one hour and nineteen minutes earlier.
Like the two previous Gemini flights, the Gemini X plan included rendezvous and docking with the separately launched Agena spacecraft which would boost Young and Collins to new
heights upward to a record 475 mile altitude.Additionally, this mission would be the first to include two spacewalks.
John Young was a veteran of the first mission in America's two-man spacecraft. A naval aviator, he would go on to fly to the moon twice, aboard Apollo 10 in 1969 and he also commanded the Apollo 16 lunar landing in 1972.
