Gemini IV

S65-28653 (August 1965) — Rendezvous Evaluation Pod (REP) in orbit is approached by Gemini spacecraft as seen in this artist’s concept using an actual photograph taken on the Gemini-4 mission. The REP is superimposed over a Gemini-4 Earth-sky picture of cloud formations over an ocean. The REP will be used by the crew of the Gemini-5 spacecraft to practice rendezvous techniques.
