The sign by the Gemini simulator. It reads


GEMINI MISSION SIMULATOR

The Gemini Mission Simulator was designed to train Gemini astronauts how to rendezvous, dock and maneuver in space. The simulator was controlled by an engineer at a nearby station who would give astronauts problems to solve that might be encountered during actual spaceflight.

Tasks practiced in the simulator included:

  • Prelaunch
  • Launch
  • Abort
  • Docking
  • Expanded mission time
  • Controlled re-entry
