Primary object was rendezvous and docking and to evaluate EVA.
Secondary objective included: Tethered vehicle operation, perform 14
experiments, rendezvous and dock in 3rd revolution, demonstrate
automatic reentry, perform docked maneuvers, practice docking, conduct
system tests and to park Gemini Agena target vehicle GATV-12 in 555.6
km (300nm) orbit.
Launch:
Nov 11, 1966 3:46:33.419 pm EST.
Orbit:
Altitude: 301.3km (162.7nm)
Inclination: 28.78 degrees
Orbits: 59
Duration: 3 Days, 22 hours, 34 min, 31 seconds
Distance: km
Landing:
Nov 15, 1966. Landed at 24deg 35min North 69deg 57min West. Miss
distance was 4.8km (2.6nm)
Mission Highlights:
EVA time 5 hours, 30 min. All primary objectives and most secondary
objectives were met. Docked maneuvers were canceled due to a
propulsion anomaly during Gemini Agena target vehicle (GATV)
insertion. The GATV was not placed in a 555.6km orbit because its
attitude control gas was depleted by earlier maneuvers.
