Gemini IX-A ATDA Lift Off

10 x 8 Colour Glossy NASA Photograph

NASA No. S-66-32139 - 1 June 1966

The GT-9A Augmented Target Docking Adapter (ATDA) atop an Atlas launch vehicle is launched from Kennedy Space Center's Pad 14 at 10 a.m., June 1, 1966. The ATDA achieved a near-circular orbit. One hour and 40 minutes later, the scheduled launch of Gemini IX-A was postponed by a ground equipment failure which prevented the transfer of updating information from Cape Kennedy mission control center to the spacecraft computer. The mission was recycled for launch on June 3, following a prepared 48-hour recycle plan. Anomalous telemetry indicated some sort of problem with the ATDA, but it was not until Gemini IX-A rendezvoused with it in orbit that it was seen that fairing separation had failed which created the famous Angry-Alligator appearance of the ATDA.
