It was piloted by astronauts Virgil "Gus" Grissom and John Young, with the primary objective of demonstrating the crewed qualifications of the Gemini spacecraft including evaluation of the two-man Gemini design, the worldwide tracking network, the orbit attitude and maneuver system, the control of reentry flight path and landing point, spacecraft systems, and spacecraft recovery. Secondary objectives included evaluation of flight crew equipment and effects of low level launch vehicle oscillations on the crew, performance of three experiments, and to obtain photographic coverage from orbit.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-6 padding-left-0 desktop:padding-left-10\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row margin-bottom-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-100 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-20-important padding-top-2 margin-right-1 desktop:margin-right-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"label margin-0 color-carbon-50-important\">Mission Type<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"p-lg font-weight-bold margin-0 padding-0 line-height-sm\">Human Spaceflight<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-100 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-20-important padding-top-2 margin-left-1 desktop:margin-left-0 desktop:margin-right-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"label margin-0 color-carbon-50-important\">Mission Duration<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"p-lg font-weight-bold margin-0 padding-0 line-height-sm\">4\u00a0hours, 52\u00a0minutes, 31\u00a0seconds<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-100 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-20-important padding-top-2 margin-right-1 desktop:margin-right-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"label margin-0 color-carbon-50-important\">Launch<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"p-lg font-weight-bold margin-0 padding-0 line-height-sm\">March 23, 1965<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-100 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-20-important padding-top-2 margin-left-1 desktop:margin-left-0 desktop:margin-right-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"label margin-0 color-carbon-50-important\">Landing<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"p-lg font-weight-bold margin-0 padding-0 line-height-sm\">March 23, 1965<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-full\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><a href=\"https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/s65-19225\/s65-19225~large.jpg?w=1516&h=1920&fit=clip&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1516\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/s65-19225\/s65-19225~large.jpg?w=1516&h=1920&fit=clip&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 49% 41%; object-position: 49% 41%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/s65-19225\/s65-19225~large.jpg?w=1516&h=1920&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1516w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/s65-19225\/s65-19225~large.jpg?w=237&h=300&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 237w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/s65-19225\/s65-19225~large.jpg?w=768&h=973&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 768w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/s65-19225\/s65-19225~large.jpg?w=809&h=1025&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 809w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/s65-19225\/s65-19225~large.jpg?w=1213&h=1536&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1213w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/s65-19225\/s65-19225~large.jpg?w=316&h=400&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 316w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/s65-19225\/s65-19225~large.jpg?w=474&h=600&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 474w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/s65-19225\/s65-19225~large.jpg?w=711&h=900&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 711w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/s65-19225\/s65-19225~large.jpg?w=948&h=1201&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 948w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1516px) 100vw, 1516px\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">S65-19225 (23 March 1965) — This view of astronauts John W.
