Gemini was the second program of manned space flights launched by the the United States of America after the Programme Mercury (1959). In the facts, the Gemini program will be finished before the first manned flight of the Programme Apollo.

Of 1963 with 1966, the objectives of the Gemini program were to perfect the techniques used by the space flights, in particular in order to prepare the manned flights of the Apollo program. The Gemini missions were for NASA the occasion to carry out its first exits in space and of the moorings between the capsules and the Agena rockets. It is as within the framework of this program as was used for the first time in space a embarked Ordinateur.

The name Gemini comes owing to the fact that each capsule carried two Astronaute S. It is the Latin name of the Constellation of the Gemini.
