Gemini VI A Brief Chronology
Original Vintage NASA Photographs New Photos Added 27 September 2011 |
|
At 8:37 a.m. Gemini VI-A rose from its
pad. As if forcing it to move by will power alone, Schirra urged,
"for the third time, go." A moment of wonder followed, as the
launch vehicle seemed to shimmy. This shaking may have been only an
impression; because of their recent experience, both pilots were highly
attuned to movement and sound. At engine cut-off, Stafford checked the
computer and got a reading of 7,830 meters per second. This told them
they were on their way.
Borman and Lovell in Gemini VII, passing near the Cape Kennedy area, saw nothing except clouds; but they soon learned from the Canary Islands communicator that the orbital parameters of VI-A were 161 by 259 kilometers. A few minutes later, as they flew over Tananarive, Malagasy Republic, they saw VI-A's contrail and got a brief glimpse of the visitors' spacecraft. They put on their suits and waited for company to arrive. |

At insertion, the GT-6 spacecraft trailed
its the GT-7 spacecraft by 1992 kilometers. Over New Orleans, after 94
minutes in space, Wally Schirra ignited the thrusters to speed up by 4
meters per second. Gemini VI-A, being nearer to Earth and so moving
faster, now lagged only 1,175 kilometers behind Gemini VII.
Three hours 15 minutes into the mission, Elliot See told Schirra that radar contact should soon be possible with Gemini VII. The VI-A crew got a flickering radar signal, then a solid lock-on at 434 kilometers range. Over Carnarvon, at 3 hours 47 minutes, the aft thrusters fired for 54 seconds to add 13 meters per second to Gemini VI's speed. The result was almost a circle, measuring 270 by 274 kilometers. In slant range distance, the two spacecraft were now 319 kilometers apart and closing slowly. Schirra and Stafford placed Gemini VI-A in the computer (or automatic) rendezvous mode at 3 hours 51 minutes into the flight. While the lower orbiting vehicle gained slowly on its target, Schirra dimmed the lights on, his side of the spacecraft to improve outside visibility. At 5 hours 4 minutes, he exclaimed, "My gosh, there is a real bright star out there. That must be Sirius." The "star" was Gemini VII, reflecting the Sun's rays from 100 kilometres away. |

Schirra made two midcourse corrections
spaced 12 minutes apart (at 5 hours 32 minutes and 5 hours 44 minutes).
Six minutes later, at a range of 900 meters from his target, Schirra
began braking his spacecraft by firing the forward thrusters. Soon he
had no difficulty seeing Gemini VII. Fittingly, in the terminal stage of
rendezvous, the VI-A astronauts saw the stars Castor and Pollux in the
Gemini (Twin) constellation aligned with their sister ship. Then
Spacecraft 7 flashed into the sunlight - almost too bright to look at.
From a distance of 200 meters, it resembled a carbon arc light.
Following the braking and translation manoeuvre, VI- A coasted until the
two vehicles were 40 meters apart, with no relative motion between them.
The world's first manned space rendezvous was now a fact. In Mission Control, the cheering throng of flight controllers waved small American flags, while Kraft. Gilruth, and others of the jubilant crowd lit cigars and beamed upon this best of all possible worlds. At 2:33 p.m., 15 December 1965, Gemini VI-A had rendezvoused with Gemini VII. |

Borman and Lovell had been fascinated by
the fireworks of VI-A's thrusters during braking and startled by the
12-meter tongue of flame. As Schirra and Stafford neared, there was a
second surprise. Borman said, "You've got a lot of stuff all around
the back end of you." Minutes later, during station-keeping,
Schirra told Borman, "So do you." Cords and stringers three to
five meters long streamed and flapped behind both spacecraft.
Rendezvous manoeuvres had cost VI-A only 51 kilograms (113 pounds) of fuel. Schirra still had 62 percent left in his tanks. It had been easy, he said, and there was plenty of fuel for station-keeping, fly-around, formation flying, and parking the spacecraft in specific relative positions. Borman and Lovell were not so wealthy; Flight Control told them to stop manoeuvres when the VII tanks dropped to an 11 percent supply. Soon it was time for GT-6 to head home so Schirra placed the spacecraft in an inverted (heads down) attitude to see Earth's horizon. Nearing the 100,000 meter fringe of the atmosphere, Schirra set the bank angle at 55 degrees left and held it until computer guidance took over at 85,000 meters. The spacecraft threatened to overshoot its planned landing point. This had to be countered by banking first left, then right. Since the Gemini spacecraft obtained its greatest lift flying straight ahead, banking cut lift and shortened range. The crew turned the computer off at 24,000 meters, deployed the drogue parachute at 14,000 meters, and punched out the main parachute at 3,200 meters. Gemini VI-A landed about 13 kilometres from its planned impact point, recording the first successfully controlled re-entry. For another first, they did it in full view of live television beamed from the Wasp via satellite transmission. As on his Mercury, flight, Schirra elected to remain aboard his spacecraft while it was hauled onto the carrier deck. Thus, on 16 December 1965, after 16 revolutions (and 25 hours, 15 minutes, 58 seconds), the world's first manned spaceflight rendezvous mission became a matter of record. |
