Agena Rocket in Orbit Around the Earth
ca. November 11-15, 1966 --- An Agena rocket is joined to the Gemini 12 spacecraft at the end of a long tether. They have been joined to test a means of creating artificial gravity involving spinning the two around one another. The Gemini 12 spacecraft was later docked with the Agena rocket, as practice for the later Apollo missions. | View from: 'Gemini 12' Spacecraft. --- Image by © Corbis
