Object Details
- Summary
- This pouch held the camera for the S-11 scientific experiment, Airglow Horizon Photography, Principal Investigator Martin J. Kooman, Naval Research Laboratory. This experiment was also carried on Geminis IX-A and XI. Commanded by Jim Lovell and piloted by Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Gemini XII was launched on November 11, 1966, for a 4-day, 59-orbit mission. Highlights included 3 extra-vehicular activities (EVAs) by Aldrin, 5 hours 30 minutes total.
