Project Gemini was named after the constellation Gemini, as the capsule was built to carry two astronauts. The name also symbolized the program's focus on astronauts working together in pairs.
Each Gemini mission typically had two astronauts onboard the spacecraft.
The purpose of the Gemini 5 space mission was to test the endurance of astronauts in space for extended durations. It aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of astronauts spending up to two weeks in space, which was crucial for longer missions like the upcoming Apollo moon missions. Gemini 5 set a new spaceflight endurance record of over 8 days.
Gemini spacecraft was the first spacecraft designed to hold two people. It was part of the Gemini program conducted by NASA in the 1960s to prepare astronauts for the Apollo missions to the moon. Gemini spacecraft allowed astronauts to practice spacewalks, rendezvous, and docking maneuvers.
