This official NASA internal program document - converted for accurate flowing-text ebook format reproduction - is a comprehensive account of Gemini 12, the final mission of Project Gemini, the two-man orbital capsule that pioneered rendezvous and docking techniques used in the Apollo lunar landing missions. Gemini XII was the tenth manned mission and the sixth rendezvous mission of the Gemini Program. The Gemini Atlas-Agena Target Vehicle was launched from Complex 14, Cape Kennedy, Florida on November 11, 1966. The Gemini Space Vehicle was launched from Complex 19, Cape Kennedy, Florida on November 11, 1966, with Astronaut James Lovell as the Command Pilot and Astronaut Edwin Aldrin as the Pilot. The flight was successfully concluded on November 15, 1966, when the spacecraft was landed within three nautical miles of the prime recovery ship, the U.S.S. Wasp.
