Description

NASA GEMINI IV mission Eight photographs showing astronauts James McDivitt (mission commander) and Edward White (pilot) at different times during the Gemini IV mission: - The two astronauts photographed at Pad 19, Cape Kennedy, after a simulation exercise (S-65-19528, May 31, 1965). - Mission Commander McDivitt at the pre-flight medical examination (S-65-19521, June 1, 1965) - Checking out the spacecraft during a simulation test (S-65-19578, May 21, 1965) - On the ramp to the spacecraft (S-65-30251, June 3, 1965) - Mc Divitt and White welcomed aboard the aircraft carrier USS Wasp, after being recovered at sea by helicopter and divers (S-65-19537, June 7, 1965) - Winching of the Gemini 4 spacecraft aboard the aircraft carrier USS Wasp (S-65-19532, June 7, 1965) - The two astronauts receive a telephone call from President Lyndon B. Johnson, just after boarding the USS Wasp (S-65-33533, June 7, 1965). - President Lyndon B. Johnson looking at a Gemini IV souvenir photo album presented to him during his visit to the space center (S-65-33318, June 11, 1965). Enclosed: Gemini IV control center (S.65.19514) Vintage prints on "A Kodak Paper", NASA text on back, NASA numbering in black in upper margin. Printed NASA-MSC legend on back. 25.5 x 20.5 cm with margins. Marginal handling marks. Gemini Titan IV (GT-4) was the second crewed mission of the Gemini program. James McDivitt and Edward White successfully completed this 4-day, 62-orbit flight between June 3 and 7, 1965. Only a few weeks before liftoff, the mission program was revised to include the first spacewalk (EVA - Extra-Vehicular Activity) by an American astronaut; a direct response to the success of cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, who performed the first EVA on March 18, 1965. On this occasion, White remained outside the spacecraft for 23 minutes.
