NASA successfully completed its first rendezvous mission with two Gemini spacecraft Gemini VII and Gemini VI in December 1965. This photograph, taken by Gemini VII crew members Frank Lovell and Frank Borman, shows Gemini VI in orbit 160 miles (257 km) above Earth. The main purpose of Gemini VI, crewed by astronauts Walter Schirra and Thomas Stafford, was the rendezvous with Gemini VII. The main purpose of Gemini VII, on the other hand, was studying the long term effects of long duration (up to 14 days) space flight on a two man crew. The pair also carried out 20 experiments, including medical tests. Although the principal objectives of both missions differed, they were both carried out so that NASA could master the technical challenges of getting into and working in space
