Gemini Mockup |
One of the centerpiece items in the Prologue Room is a Gemini "engineering development fixture." A high-fidelity mockup, it was used by engineers to verify equipment relationships and system integration and to develop check-out, launch, and operational procedures. None of the flown Gemini spacecraft are displayed with adapter sections; neither are unflown Gemini/MOL spacecraft at the Air Force Museum or Gemini 3A spacecraft at the St. Louis Science Center. To the best of my knowledge, this is the highest-fidelity adapter section which remains. As of now, I have not yet sorted through all of my pictures of the Gemini mockup, but some other page references this location. Thus, this is a "place holder" version right now, with only the pictures actually referenced. Come back some time later to see if I've finished up, or drop me an email to request me to prioritize the rest of these pictures. |
