Manned

Mission	LV Serial No	Command Pilot	Pilot	Mission Dates	Launch Time	Duration
Gemini 3	GLV-3 12558	Grissom	Young	23 March 1965	14:24 UTC	00d 04h 52m 31s
	First manned Gemini flight, three orbits.
Gemini IV	GLV-4 12559	McDivitt	White	3–7 June 1965	15:15 UTC	04d 01h 56m 12s
	Included first extravehicular activity (EVA) by an American; White's "space walk" was a 22 minute EVA exercise.
Gemini V	GLV-5 12560	Cooper	Conrad	21–29 August 1965	13:59 UTC	07d 22h 55m 14s
	First week-long flight; first use of fuel cells for electrical power; evaluated guidance and navigation system for future rendezvous missions. Completed 120 orbits.
Gemini VII	GLV-7 12562	Borman	Lovell	4–18 December 1965	19:30 UTC	13d 18h 35m 01s
	When the original Gemini VI mission was scrubbed because its Agena target for rendezvous and docking failed, Gemini VII was used for the rendezvous instead. Primary objective was to determine whether humans could live in space for 14 days.
Gemini VI-A	GLV-6 12561	Schirra	Stafford	15–16 December 1965	13:37 UTC	01d 01h 51m 24s
	First space rendezvous accomplished with Gemini VII, station-keeping for over five hours at distances from 0.3 to 90 m (1 to 300 ft).
Gemini VIII	GLV-8 12563	Armstrong	Scott	16–17 March 1966	16:41 UTC	00d 10h 41m 26s
	Accomplished first docking with another space vehicle, an unmanned Agena Target Vehicle. While docked, a Gemini spacecraft thruster malfunction caused near-fatal tumbling of the craft, which, after undocking, Armstrong was able to overcome; the crew effected the first emergency landing of a manned U.S. space mission.
Gemini IX-A	GLV-9 12564	Stafford	Cernan	3–6 June 1966	13:39 UTC	03d 00h 20m 50s
	Rescheduled from May to rendezvous and dock with an Augmented Target Docking Adapter (ATDA) after the original Agena Target Vehicle failed to orbit. The ATDA shroud did not completely separate, making docking impossible. Three different types of rendezvous, two hours of EVA, and 44 orbits were completed.
Gemini X	GLV-10 12565	Young	Collins	18–21 July 1966	22:20 UTC	02d 22h 46m 39s
	First use of the Agena Target Vehicle's propulsion systems. The spacecraft also rendezvoused with the Agena Target Vehicle from Gemini VIII. Collins had 49 minutes of EVA standing in the hatch and 39 minutes of EVA to retrieve experiments from the Agena. 43 orbits completed.
Gemini XI	GLV-11 12566	Conrad	Gordon	12–15 September 1966	14:42 UTC	02d 23h 17m 09s
	Gemini record altitude with apogee of 739.2 nautical miles (1,369.0 km)[12] reached using the Agena Target Vehicle propulsion system after first orbit rendezvous and docking. Gordon made a 33-minute EVA and two-hour standup EVA. 44 orbits.
Gemini XII	GLV-12 12567	Lovell	Aldrin	11–15 November 1966	20:46 UTC	03d 22h 34m 31s
	Final Gemini flight. Rendezvoused and docked manually with its target Agena and kept station with it during EVA. Aldrin set an EVA record of 5 hours and 30 minutes for one space walk and two stand-up exercises, and demonstrated solutions to previous EVA problems.
