FOREWORD
In 1962, preparations for space-science investigations on manned missions were undertaken by NASA on the assumption that man's flexibihty, judgment, sensory perceptions, and manipulative abilities would be useful in performing a variety of experiments. The soundness of this assumption has been borne out by the early two- man Gemini flights when man's unique ability to control, modify, and reschedule contributed greatly to the success of the scientific portion of the missions.
The Gemini flight program has shown that man can operate and perform in the space environment. Beyond that, it has demonstrated that man's unique talents and capabilities are of tremendous value to the conduct of scientific investigations in space. Not only have astronauts been able to perform scientific tests during the operational missions, perfecting the techniques of space maneuvers, but in at least one instance the success of an experiment came from the astronaut's ability to repair a delicate instrument during flight.
The experiments conducted during manned flight have derived from a variety of disciplines, including aeronomy, astronomy, biology, physiology, geography, geology, meteorology, and space physics. As a result of Gemini photographs major geological features, hitherto unrecognized, have been identified, including a fault structure in Baja California and an extinct volcanic field in northern Mexico. Other results from these experiments include photographs of the gegenschein — the reflection of light off interplanetary particles beyond the orbital path of Earth — and photographs of twi- light bands. Excellent photographs have also been obtained of the zodiacal light, the reflection of light from interplanetary particles between the sun and earth's orbital path.
The early Gemini flights have shown that man is particularly well suited to perform the scientific investigations conducted in space. He can act as a sensor to observe, monitor, and adapt his own observations. He can also evaluate data and manipulate instruments and equipment. He is able to respond creatively to unexpected phenomena and to improvise.
Although earth-science photographs were not formally scheduled on Gemini HI, the astronauts did take 25 pictures, most of which showed cloud formations. On Gemini IV, two scientific experiments, Synoptic Terrain Photography (S-5) and Synoptic Weather Photography ( S-6 ) , were notably successful. More than 200 useful pictures were taken, the most significant of which are reproduced here. In Gemini V, terrain and weather photography was included in a schedule of 1 7 medical, engineer- ing, and scientific investigations. Guided by the principal investigators of the S-5 and S-6 experiments, Paul Lowman of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and Kenneth Nagler of the U.S. Weather Bureau, the astronauts obtained almost 250 pictures.
The advances that have been made in the Nation's manned space-science program to date will contribute directly to future efforts. Many of the experiments in the Gemini missions, including photography, will be incorporated into the early Apollo earth-orbital flights, generally in a more sophisticated form. It is a goal of NASA to provide an integrated program of scientific investigation that uses both manned and unmanned spacecraft to complement each other in the important task of gaining knowledge of our universe.

PREFACE
The overall aims of the Gemini program have been to exploit and extend the capa- bilities developed in the pioneering Mercury earth-orbital flights and to provide a vital link for the operating capability, the supporting technology, and astronaut proficiency in space that are so necessary to the Apollo program and to other future national efforts in space.
Specific Gemini objectives were (1) to determine how man performs in the space environment on flights of as much as 2 weeks; (2) to develop the capability to rendez- vous with another craft and dock with it; (3) to maneuver the combined vehicles; (4) to provide a platform for scientific, engineering, and medical experiments; (5) to develop methods of controlling reentry flight paths to selected landing areas; and (6) to develop astronaut space-flight experience, including extravehicular activity. The Gemini III, IV, and V flights in 1965 made important contributions toward the accomplishment of these objectives.
The Gemini III two-man crew achieved the first change of orbital plane by a manned spacecraft and the first use of variable lift during reentry to "fly" to a selected landing area. The maneuvering of the spacecraft by the crew marked a major step toward rendezvous and docking objectives and set the stage for the 4-day Gemini IV mission.
Further assurance that the overall objectives of the Gemini program could be met was provided by Gemini IV, which scored success in virtually all areas of accomplish- ment : Station-keeping exercise associated with rendezvous, long-duration flight, extra- vehicular activity, and scientific experiments.
The most significant result of the Gemini V mission was to show that rendezvous and docking with another object in space should not pose a particularly difficult prob- lem. Primary objectives met by Gemini V were crew capability for 8 days of flight with no adverse effects, spacecraft capability for long periods of flight, and evaluation of the onboard radar necessary for rendezvous and docking flights scheduled later.
In addition to accomplishing these major objectives, the three Gemini flights produced some significant experimental results, of which the photographs in this volume are a part. Most of them were obtained by Gemini IV and V in a series of synoptic weather and synoptic terrain photography experiments, formally scheduled to obtain high-quality color photos of terrain features and cloud systems for geological, geographical, and meteorological purposes. These experiments were under the direc- tion of the Manned Flight Experiments Division of the Office of Space Science and Applications.
As can be seen in the pages that follow, the color in many of the pictures is outstanding and ground resolution remarkably high. Many small roads, canals, and similar features are clearly visible. Photos of shorelines, river courses, and details never before seen by man are included. Considerable bottom topography and water current structure is visible, making these pictures highly valuable in planning future photog- raphy for studies in oceanography and marine geology. These photographs and other Gemini experiments are the beginning of a vast increase in man's useful knowledge of Earth and its environment.

The material for this book grew out of the synoptic terrain and weather photog- raphy experiments which were significant parts of the Gemini science program. The idea of publishing a volume of color photographs originated with Robert R. Gilruth, Director of the Manned Spacecraft Center. Its publication is an effort to fulfill the part of NASA's charter that calls for full and prompt dissemination of scientific information. It is hoped that various scientific disciplines and other public interests will have a multitude of uses for these Gemini photographs.
The principal investigators for these two Gemini experiments, Paul Lowman, Jr., of the Goddard Space Flight Center, and Kenneth Nagler and Stanley Soules, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, contributed much of the material for the captions. They were aided in this task by Arthur Alexiou and L. V. Streeves of the U.S. Naval Oceanog- raphic Office, and Herbert Tiedemann and Jose Toro of Goddard. Preliminary identification of the photographs was carried out by Richard W. Underwood, Manned Spacecraft Center, following each Gemini flight.
A technical panel with members from NASA and other agencies assisted in the original selection of the photographs. Panel members, in addition to Dr. Lowman, Mr. Soules, and Mr. Alexiou, were, Winston Siebert, W. D. Harris, and John T. Smith of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey; Anthony Liccardi of NASA's Office of Manned Space Flight; and Jocelyn R. Gill, Gemini Science Manager. Dr. Gill was also responsible for the organization of the effort to produce the book and served as scientific editor.

INTRODUCTION
1 HE PURPOSE of this volume is to provide examples of the photographs obtained from the first three manned Gemini flights, and to make them available to scientific users in various dis- ciplines. Most of the photographs selected are the result of the synoptic terrain photography and weather photography experiments formally scheduled for Gemini IV and V. In the case of Gemini III, photography was not a part of the scientific program, but the astronauts ob- tained 25 pictures during their flight, 3 of which are reproduced here.
The objective of the Synoptic Terrain Pho- tography Experiment (S-5) in Gemini IV and V was to show major geologic structures, their form, color, and albedo.The astronauts of Gem- ini IV were requested to give priority to photog- raphy of east Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Mexico, and the southwestern United States. For Gemini V, the selected land and near-shore areas were chosen not only for geologic study, but also for geographic and oceanographic in- vestigations. The camera was a Hasselblad Model 500C modified by NASA, using a Zeiss Planar lens of 80-mm. focal length, F/2.8. The film was Ektachrome MS (S.O. 217). During the Gemini V flight, one roll of Anscochrome D-50 was taken. The film format is 55 mm. by 55 mm. on 70-mm. film rolls of over 60 expo- sures. A haze filter helped reduce the intensity of the ultraviolet scattering from the atmosphere.
Most of the photographs obtained on these Gemini missions were considered to be of ex- cellent quality with respect to exposure, resolu- tion, and orientation. Although fuel and power restrictions prevented the flight crew from always orienting the spacecraft vertically, as preferred for photography, a continuous series of 39 near- vertical views were obtained by Gemini IV cover- ing the flight path on the 32d revolution from
the Pacific coast of Mexico to central Texas. The photographs are reproduced here.
The objective of the Synoptic Weather Pho- tography Experiment (S-6) in Gemini IV and V was to provide a set of high-resolution pic- tures that would cover a broad range of meteoro- logical phenomena, with emphasis on photo- graphs of a number of cloud systems that could be used to verify and amplify information ob- tained from the unmanned weather satellites. Cloud cover over the same area was photo- graphed on successive revolutions during the Gemini V mission to study the dynamic changes at 90-minute intervals. The camera was the same NASA-modified Hasselblad 500C used in the S-5 experiment.
Results of the two photographic experiments are of value to scientists in many disciplines. Of particular interest to geologists, oceanog- raphers, geographers, and hydrographers are the Gemini IV terrain photographs which reveal a large amount of geologic detail. Photographs taken over Baja California, for instance, show the contact between quaternary alluvium and bed- rock, identify aligned linear valleys as a fault zone, and make subsidiary faults apparent. Photographs taken over a section of Mexico identified the Sierra Carizarilla as volcanoes, probably of relatively young age, judging from the fresh-appearing topography. Geologic maps of Mexico, however, show only a few isolated outcrops of volcanic rock dated as more than 1 million years old. Another photograph shows an area in which two major tectonic provinces merge without marked change of direction. Such a relationship could until now be deter- mined only by extensive mapping in two countries.
Other examples, of interest to oceanograph- ers, hydrographers, and hydrologists : An ex-
cellent photograph of the mouth of the Colorado River entering the Gulf of California, .giving a synoptic view of sediment distribution; details in shallow- water bottom topography revealed in photos of the Bahamas; Gemini V pictures of Rongelap Atoll in the Marshall Islands, making it possible to correct existing charts of reef areas ; and pictures of the Odessa-Midland area of cen- tral Texas showing the terrain darkened by heavy rainfall on the previous day.
Orbital weather photos taken during the Gemini missions, by providing a higher resolu- tion and contrast, have aided in interpreting data obtained from weather satellites. For ex- ample, photographs obtained over Florida on three successive revolutions show changes in, and movement of, clouds at approximately 90-minute intervals. Included are photos of tropical and extra-tropical cyclones and the intertropical zones of convergence, for comparison with lower resolution pictures made with the help of meteor- ological satellites.
In addition to the many photographs of cloud patterns, the Gemini missions yielded pho- tographs of other features of interest to meteor- ology and related fields, such as smoke from forest fires or industrial sources that may indi- cate the low-level wind direction and may pos- sibly provide information on the stability of the lower atmosphere. Similarly, photographs of various types of sand dunes in the world's great deserts are of help in determining the relation- ship between winds and deposition patterns.
The Gemini photographs are also of poten- tial practical importance in agriculture, forestry, water and marine resources, cartography, and the study of air pollution. The use of orbital photography to depict geological formations may lead to applications in mining. The detection from space of faults, lineaments, folds, domes, basins, or haloes may indicate areas of potential mineral or petroleum deposits. Application in forestry and agricultural mapping is particularly promising because of the wide areal coverage possible with spacecraft.
Systematic photography of Earth from space
has only begun, but its feasibility and its use- fulness in science, as well as for practical applica- tions, have been demonstrated by the experiments performed by the Gemini astronauts.
Of the 550 photographs taken by the Gemini III, IV, and V flight crews, 244 have been se- lected for this book. They are arranged in or- bital sequence within three sections, representing the three missions. Details concerning length of flight, apogee and perigee, crew, number of photos taken, and photographic equipment used preface each section. Captions accompanying the photographs identify political subdivisions, geographic features, and in some cases discuss geological and meteorological phenomena. Place names used follow the standard established by the National Geographic Atlas of the World. Following each caption is the color print num- ber assigned by NASA as the films were de- veloped.
The photographs are placed with the hori- zon at the top when applicable. In oblique angle views, the foreshortening — furthest point from the spacecraft — is at the top of the picture. When the viewing angle is nearly vertical, the pictures are often oriented with north at the top. For further reader guidance, the viewing direction is specified in many of the captions.
A geographic index and an appendix com- plete the volume. The index provides a guide, by page number, to photographs of major geo- graphic areas. No subject index is included, but, in view of the large number of photographs taken of cloud formations, as a result of the S-6 ex- periment, these have been listed separately at the end of the geographic index.
The appendix lists, in orbital sequence, every photograph taken on the three flights. It also gives the magazine and frame number of the film; the color, as well as black and white, print number; the orbit; approximate Green- wich mean time; and geographic location. The photographs included in the book are marked by asterisks. All photographs, however, may be ordered from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

GEMINI IV
Gemini IV, launched on June 3, 1965, lasted 97 hours and 56 minutes. During that time the spacecraft made 62 orbits and 219 photographs were taken by the crew, James A. McDivitt and Edward H. White. This was the first flight in which the S-5 and S-6 photo- graphic experiments were included. The camera used was a hand-held modified Hasselblad, Model 500C with a Zeiss Planar lens of 80-mm. focal length; the film was Ektachrome MS (S.O.-217). During the 4-day flight apogee reached was 175 miles, perigee was 100 miles. In- cluded in this section are 96 of the photographs taken. A continuous series of 39 overlapping photographs of the southwestern United States is included in its entirety.

GEMINI V
On August 21, 1965, Gemini V was launched from Cape Kennedy at 1400 G.m.t. The flight, which ended August 29, took 190 hours and 55 minutes. During the 120 orbits Astronauts L. Gordon Cooper and Charles Conrad, Jr. took 250 photographs of the earth and clouds. On the following pages 145 of them are reproduced. The camera was a NASA-modified hand-held Hasselblad, Model 500C with a Zeiss Planar 80-mm. lens. Three of the films used were Ektachrome MS (S.O.- 217) ; the fourth roll was Anscochrome D-50. Apogee was 215 miles and perigee 100 miles.
