Lotto No. 17


NASA (Gemini III)


The first Gemini astronauts, selected for the first American two-man mission into space, April 1964

Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1964, (NASA image S-64-19432), with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 21,8 x 27,8 cm, light crease in the upper corners

[original NASA caption for the photograph] Left to right: Astronauts John W. Young, Virgil I. Grissom, Walter M. Schirra Jr. and Thomas P. Stafford pose in their spacesuits after being selected for the first Gemini manned mission. Young and Grissom were selected as the prime astronauts and Schirra and Stafford will be the back-up pilots.

The Gemini program defined and tested the skills NASA would need to go to the Moon, with four main goals: to test an astronaut‘s ability to fly long-duration missions (up to two weeks in space); to understand how spacecraft could rendezvous and dock in orbit around the Earth and the Moon; to perfect re-entry and landing methods; and to further understand the effects of longer space flights on astronauts.
