Gemini 5 (officially Gemini V) [3] was a 1965 crewed spaceflight in NASA 's Project Gemini. It was the third crewed Gemini flight, the eleventh crewed American spaceflight (including two X-15 flights above 100 kilometers (54 nmi)), and the nineteenth human spaceflight of all time.

2023年10月5日 · Gemini V, carrying astronauts Gordon Cooper and Charles "Pete" Conrad was the third crewed Earth-orbiting spacecraft of the Gemini series. The flight was designed to last eight days and test rendezvous procedures.

2015年8月5日 · During the summer of 1965, the United States began to pull even in the space race with the Soviet Union. The eight-day Gemini V endurance mission doubled America’s spaceflight record set two months earlier. It also tested technology that would help make longer missions possible in the future.

2023年10月5日 · Launched on August 21, 1965 for a nearly 8-day mission, Gemini V astronauts L. Gordon Cooper and Charles "Pete" Conrad Jr. set out to find the effects of weightlessness on humans for what was then a prolonged period.

With a mission duration of nearly eight days, Gemini 5 successfully demonstrated that astronauts could endure weightlessness for the approximate period of time necessary to fly to the Moon and back.

On Aug. 21, 1965, the third crewed Gemini flight went up with a pair of astronauts nestled in its belly. Charles “Pete” Conrad and Gordon Cooper were launched into space on a mission that lasted just shy of eight days, setting a new record for longest human space flight that was three days longer than the previous Soviet Union record.

2015年5月1日 · Gemini 5, carrying astronauts Gordon Cooper and Charles "Pete" Conrad was the third crewed Earth-orbiting spacecraft of the Gemini series. The flight was designed to last eight days and test rendezvous procedures.

2024年4月8日 · Gemini V was the first manned U.S. spaceflight with an official insignia. However, NASA required that a portion of the patch be covered during the flight to avoid embarrassment if the mission was cut short.

2023年8月21日 · The Titan II GLV (Gemini Launch Vehicle) or Gemini-Titan II was an American expendable launch system derived from the Titan II missile, which was used to launch twelve Gemini missions for NASA between 1964 and 1966.

2011年8月29日 · The primary objective of the Gemini V mission to demonstrate man's ability to function in the space environment for 8 days and to qualify the spacecraft systems under these conditions was met.
