Of the seven military test pilots selected as astronauts selected for Project Mercury, only six actually flew Mercury missions: Shepard, Grissom, Glenn, Carpenter, Schirra and Cooper. Slayton was medically grounded in 1962 and replaced by Carpenter, but eventually flew on the last pre-Shuttle mission, the Apollo-Soyuz Tesp Project, in 1975.

How many astronauts where onboard each space capsule during nasas Gemini space program?

How are astronauts brave?
Going into space is dangerous. A fair number of astronauts and cosmonauts have died during space missions and others have face with life-threatening situations. Astronauts go into space knowing that even a seemingly minor malfunction could prove fatal.
What did Neil Armstrong do in project Gemini?
Neil Armstrong served as backup commander and Capsule Communicator for the 8 day Gemini 5 mission. Buzz Aldrin was also a Capcom for Gemini 5. As backup for Gemini 8, Armstrong fell into the position of Commander of Gemini 8. Most of the crews who were backups rotated to prime 3 missions later. Armstrong's backup Co-Pilot for Gemini 5 was Elliott See. However NASA felt that See should be Commander of his own flight and was assigned to Command Gemini 9, and Dave Scott replaced See on Gemini 8. During Gemini 8, Armstrong performed the first docking between 2 vehicles in space when he docked with an unmanned Agena vehicle. A few hours after docking, the 2 vehicles began an uncontrolled spin, turning one revolution every second. On the verge of blacking out, Armstrong was able to bring his vehicle under control. The flight rules dictated that Armstrong bring the vehicle back to earth on the next revolution. He performed the only emergency landing in NASA history. Had he not been able to gain control of the vehicle, the 2 astronauts would have blacked out and died. They were beginning to get tunnel vision when Armstrong gained control Tunnel vision is the begining of blacking out. Armstrong's performance during Gemini 8 put him at the top of the list of astronauts to make the first landing on the moon. Following Gemini 8, Armstrong became the backup commander of Gemini 11. He was the backup commander for Apollo 8. He did not fly again until Apollo 11. Apollo 11 was his last spaceflight.
When was the first space docking by astronauts?
The first docking in space was performed by Neil Armstrong and Dave Scott aboard Gemini 8 on March 16, 1966. The first docking was to occur during the Gemini 6 flight, but the Gemini 6 Agena docking module failed to reach orbit. Gemini 8 began a slow tumble shortly after docking. Per mission rules, Armstrong undocked from the Agena. When he did, their spacecraft began spinning about 1 revolution every second. The astronauts were on the verge of blacking out when Armstrong finally regained control of the vehicle and stopped the spinning. Had he not been able to gain control, both astronauts would have died in space. It was Armstrong's courage and the calmness with which he handled the situation that caused the NASA planners to choose him to command the first manned landing on the moon.
Where do astronauts live?
In space during missions and at their training centers while on earth
Us space program that sent astronauts tothe moon?
The Mercury and Gemini programs gathered data on rocket hardware and human physiology, which was used to send astronauts to the moon during the Apollo program.
How many astronauts where onboard each space capsule launched during NASAS Gemini space program?
There were 2 astronauts on each Project Gemini mission.
How did astronauts go to the toilet during Gemini program?
by going in space!!
What other space programs preceded The Apollo Program?
NASA was still a young agency when Apollo was introduced. The first space program was Mercury, whose mission was to launch astronauts, one at a time, into space and then into orbit. Following Mercury was the Gemini program. Gemini spacecraft held two astronauts and saw was the first to really start with science and gear experiments. It was during Gemini that Ed White became the first American to perform an EVA (spacewalk). Apollo directly followed Gemini, and the Space Shuttle program followed Apollo.
What happened during the Gemini missions?
first American space walk
