From the Estate of Peter J. Vorzimmer, co-author of the 1967 NASA Project Gemini Chronology book. See item #1046 for Vorzimmer biography. Glossy photo has been professionally framed and matted to 10.25x13.75" in a 16.5x19.25" brushed aluminum frame w/UV glass. Photo shows a view of the Gemini 7 capsule as seen in outer space from its sister spacecraft Gemini 6A. Signed in black felt tip pen on Gemini 6A image by its crew - astronauts Walter (Wally) Schirra, Jr. and Thomas (Tom) Stafford, who took this photo. The crew of Gemini 7 - Frank Borman II and James Lovell, Jr. - have also signed their respective spacecraft in black felt tip pen. Exc. The Gemini 6A mission launched Dec. 15, 1965 and was the mission that achieved the first manned rendezvous with another spacecraft, its sister Gemini 7. Although the Soviet Union had twice previously launched simultaneous pairs of Vostok spacecraft, these established radio contact but came no closer than several kilometers of each other, while the Gemini 6 and 7 spacecraft came within a foot of one another and could have docked had they been so equipped. A great piece from a NASA insider present during the Golden Age of manned space exploration. Comes with Hake's COA and JSA LOA.
