aircraft the main contractor for mercury and gemini was also one of the original bidders on the prime contract for apollo but lost out to north american aviation mcdonnell later sought to extend the gemini program by proposing a derivative which could be used to fly a cislunar mission and even achieve a crewed lunar landing earlier and at less cost than apollo but these proposals were rejected by nasa a range of applications were considered for advanced gemini missions including military flights space station crew and logistics delivery and lunar flights the lunar proposals ranged from reusing the docking systems developed for the agena target vehicle on more powerful upper stages such as the centaur which could propel the spacecraft to the moon to complete modifications of the gemini to enable it to land on the lunar surface its applications would have ranged from crewed lunar flybys before apollo was ready to providing emergency shelters or rescue for stranded apollo crews or even replacing the apollo program one proposal went as far as to using a modified gemini as part of a crewed mars expedition 54 some of the advanced gemini proposals used off the shelf gemini spacecraft unmodified from the original program while others featured modifications to allow the spacecraft to carry more personnel dock with space stations visit the moon and perform other mission objectives other modifications considered included the addition of wings or a parasail to the spacecraft in order to enable it to make a horizontal landing big gemini edit main article big gemini big gemini concept space station supply ship big gemini or big g was another proposal by mcdonnell douglas made in august 1969 it was intended to provide large capacity all purpose access to space including missions that ultimately used apollo or the space shuttle the study was performed to generate a preliminary definition of a logistic spacecraft derived from gemini that would be used to resupply an orbiting space station land landing at a preselected site and refurbishment and reuse were design requirements two baseline spacecraft were defined a nine man minimum modification version of the gemini b called min mod big g and a 12 man advanced concept having the same exterior geometry but with new state of the art subsystems called advanced big g 55 three launch vehicles saturn ib titan iiim and saturn int 20 s ic s ivb were investigated for use with the spacecraft military applications edit the air force had an interest in the gemini system and decided to use its own modification of the spacecraft as the crew vehicle for the manned orbital laboratory to this end the gemini 2 spacecraft was refurbished and flown again atop a mockup of the mol sent into space by a titan iii c this was the first time a spacecraft went into space twice 56 the usaf also thought of adapting the gemini spacecraft for military applications such as crude observation of the ground no specialized reconnaissance camera could be carried and practicing making rendezvous with suspicious satellites this project was called blue gemini the usaf did not like the fact that gemini would have to be recovered by the us navy so they intended for blue gemini eventually to use the airfoil and land on three skids carried over from the original design of gemini at first some within nasa welcomed sharing of the cost with the usaf but it was later agreed that nasa was better off operating gemini by itself blue gemini was canceled in 1963 by secretary of defense robert mcnamara who decided the nasa gemini flights could conduct necessary military experiments mol was canceled by secretary of defense melvin laird in 1969 when it was determined that uncrewed spy satellites could perform the same functions much more cost effectively in media edit two gemini capsules codenamed jupiter instead of gemini are featured in the plot of the 1967 james bond film you only live twice a modified one man gemini capsule is used to send an astronaut played by james caan to the moon in the 1968 film countdown 57 gemini 4 gemini 8 and gemini 12 feature in the first episode of the 1998 hbo series from the earth to the moon like other us space programs gemini was covered in the 1985 pbs series spaceflight some aspects of the gemini program relating to astronaut neil armstrong played by ryan gosling were touched upon in the 2018 film first man which depicts the launch of gemini 8 and its rendezvous docking and the uncontrolled roll emergency during the mission many episodes of the television show i dream of jeannie featured launch pad and launch footage of various gemini missions gemini is a layer 7 telecom standard named after the gemini missions its non standard port number 1965 is a reference to the first mission date see also edit spaceflight portal list of crewed spacecraft splashdown spacecraft landing timeline of hydrogen technologies us space exploration history on us stamps references edit notes edit the only gemini spacecraft not launched by a titan ii was the reflight of gemini 2 for a manned orbiting laboratory test in 1966 which used a titan iiic gemini 3 used the mercury control center located at cape kennedy for flight control as the new center was still in test status gemini 4 was the first to be guided from houston with mercury control as a backup from gemini 5 through today all flights are controlled from houston the requirement for a touchdown on land using a paraglider was canceled in 1964 during the ten crewed flights of the gemini program the soviets made no crewed flights and despite achieving the first eva did no more evas until january 1969 armstrong had left the us navy and was already a nasa test pilot when he and elliot see became
