Gemini 3 Full Mission 4 - This video covers the final (3rd) orbit, de-orbit burn, re-entry and recovery sequences. The audio record is incomplete and this is explained on the video. All thruster and OAMS firings are simulated. Video is limited for the Gemini 3 mission and I have included as much as I could find for the recovery sequence. The majority of the sequences are represented using the Spaceflight Simulator.
All audio is VOXED - the silence in transmissions is removed in most cases.
All audio/video and photos are courtesy NASA
Godspeed Molly Brown!
There was an interesting anomaly on this mission. They were constantly correcting for a left yaw. Grissom thought it was a stuck thruster - it turned out to be the water boiler working so hard it was outgassing like a separate thruster.
I enjoy these loops. It’s wonderful to hear how much better everyone gets as the missions continue, and how confident everyone becomes by the end of Gemini.
One of the most interesting things about this is listening to the recovery forces. We've forgotten that they didn't always land within sight of live video and that's why a carrier was needed. Searching thousands of square miles of ocean for an approximate position took a few minutes. Great work on getting this out there. Thank you.
Thank you so much for posting this, my father was the helo pilot of HS-57 shown hauling Grissom and Young out of the ocean and back to the Intrepid. Sadly he just passed away April 12 at 82,
Thanks for your comment CapCityDC - I am sure I speak on behalf of the entire space community when I offer condolences for your recent loss and thanks and respect for your Fathers contribution to the space race.
***** Thanks lunar its nice to know my Dad's efforts are still appreciated. He was always amazed that he some how went from being a dirt poor NC farm boy who had no running water in the house growing up to playing a tiny part in the history of the race to the moon.
CapCityDC Big WOW from my family in Canada! !
Thank you for sharing! Our Cousin, Richard A. Hauff, recently passed away in December 2019. He was a frogman for the Navy and can be seen in this video during the recovery effort.
RIP - thanks for your comment
I was a little too young to remember this one, but by the time Gemini 7 came around I was getting the "space flu" and missing school - with the approval of my Dad and the school! I was allowed to miss a day if I gave a report on the mission to the class. It's hard to remember there was a new mission practically every other month, and sometimes every month. There were 5 missions in 1965 and 5 in 1966, and that was to be followed by 20 Apollo missions starting in January 1967. Then came the fire, and Nixon, and it was over. I just assumed there would be space missions all the time, going everywhere we could go, from then on. Silly me. Spending money on tax cuts and pointless war and useless wonder weapons turned out to be more important.
Space Flu...lmao
I consider these videos the best work on the NET. I realized that you did a BIG job for all of us....HUMANS of EARTH. I learned a lot more cause of you🤓🤓
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of this historic flight. Listening to the voice transcripts. A GREAT start for the tremendously successful Gemini program paving the way for Apollo!
Just want to restate....I think your Simulations are FANTASTIC.....truely appreciate all your hard work!! Your videos are TOP NOTCH!!
Excellent.
Having witnessed the all space projects from Vostok and Mercury to the present, I have always been most fascinated by the Gemini series. This was when humans in space transformed from test pilots into genuine astronauts.
David Howard I always wanted to put Gemini 3 together - probably the most unknown of the series.
+David Howard Gemini is easily the most innovative space program in history. Apollo may have done the job of getting to the moon, but it was Gemini's task to test every single procedure and function to make it possible. Multi-man crews, Orbital Maneuvering, EVA, Duration, Rendezvous, Docking, Extending apogee and multiple rendezvous, and perfecting the art of spacewalking. And each mission mere months apart.
Gemini built the career of such historic names as John Young, Tom Stafford, Jim Lovell, Neil Armstrong, Pete Conrad and Buzz Aldrin. ... and it is unfortunately the most forgotten NASA manned program in history
This is great fun to watch. I remember these missions from my youth. It seemed like anything was possible in those exciting times. Thanks for posting this.
UR welcome!
Again, these are GREAT videos: thank you so much for making them. Please keep it up.
Very good four chapters!! And except for the crew of Gemini 7 and 6 that could be seen from a distance, you did this work allows us to see a Gemini like nobody else could see... Thanks friend!!!
Ricardo Hector Grumberg glad you liked the mission Ricardo and congrats on getting through all four episodes - regards lm5
Finished watching all 4 parts. You sir are a spaceflight Fanantic. I thought I was the only one. Much thanks for posting this and look forward to you next one.
Great Video lunarmodule5. Appreciate the work that you put into this and your other videos.
I never knew they'd worked out a way to communicate (poorly) through the re-entry blackout.
This was a great upload! I could almost smell the corned beef sandwich!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks again for all the time and hard work you put into these videos. Awesome Stuff!!!!!
But Gus only did 3 orbits. He never got to fully experience space. It was stolen from him.
John Young with high blood pressure? He was the coolest cat, that that I ever met!
Thank you again for your labor of love. Your diligence an patience are much appreciated!! :)
So John Young had slightly elevated blood pressure during the flight. Could that have resulted from the corned beef sandwich he reportedly smuggled aboard?
Nicely done! The corned beef sandwich was thrown up wasn't it? LoL!!
True Heroes 🇺🇸To those who posted about the Fathers who have passed I thank them for their service to our country. They are the Ultimate Heroes 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Fantastic vids ! Thanks a lot !
You are welcome eromadrol - glad you liked it!
Siempre que veo a Grisson, White o Chaffee me duele el corazón! Su pérdida es irreparable; es de esas cosas que cuando se recuerdan uno vuelve a sentir un frofundo dolor que no curó el tiempo.
Awesome job! Thanks for uploading
Great work again!!
U r most welcome!
the words from 'capcitydc' brought tears to my eyes of joy! His fathers contribution to Gemini, is reason enough for your efforts lunamodule5. God bless you.
Thanks Ron, your comment got me a bit watery, it's a little over a year ago my Dad died, was just at his condo in FL last month looking at the model the Navy gave him of HS57. He had the horse collar some place and it's signed by G&R and his helo crew but I can't find it, he talked years ago about donatiing it to the Museum at the Navy Yard here in DC or the Smithsonian but he never told me if he did.
Since the audio is courtesy of NASA, I am guessing it is royalty and copyright free and that it is currently free source material for anyone willing to use it, am I right?
Deliverygirl yep - available on the NASA audio archive!
***** if I recall NASA does not hold any hold copy rights to any pictures or audio . Public domain I believe it is called . I am correct
History, by definition, is public domain. And yet, if anyone would attempt to copyright history,... it would be America, lol.
No history is not automatically PD. What makes these recordings PD is that they have been A) Downgraded from sensitive material classification since the flight itself, until they were declassified completely. B) At that point, they are works of the US Government of a historical nature, and are thus PD, unless they are found to contain matter that is sensitive, at which point ot would have been redacted.
Wow...and wow... and ultra-super-mega-turbo-3D-ROGER-COPY-WOWWWW
nice animation sir
Glaube Mut Liebe .
Awesome!!! thanks for your hard work!!
