Dawn of Rendezvous

Learning to rendezvous and dock two spacecraft in orbit was critical to the success of the Apollo moon missions. NASA’s manned Gemini program was designed to develop that skill, using an unmanned Agena upper stage as a target vehicle.

Guests can re-create this moment in history with Gemini: Dawn of Rendezvous. With spectacular views of the Earth and the gleaming Agena from 220 miles high, your guests will experience a unique and exciting moment as they bring the two pioneering spacecraft together.
