I"m actually trying to find out so please improve answer
Project Gemini and Project Apollo had astronauts practice piloting and working in space.
As each Apollo spacecraft had three astronauts at a time and seven Apollo crafts flew to the moon, there were a total of 21 astronauts.
Gus Grissom.
Only seven people were chosen for the Mercury program. Six out of the seven astronauts chosen had a Mercury flight. Deke Slayton was grounded because he had a heart problem (a heart murmur to be exact). He was able to fly as part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. here are the seven mermbers of the Mercury program: Alan Shepard jr. Gus Grissom John Glenn Jr. Scott Carpenter Walter Schirra jr. Gordon Cooper jr. Deke Slayton
astronauts have special equipment called F.O.R.B (fuel, oxygen, radio and batteries) and of course visers by miss_india hoped that help u and here is a website if u r doing a project on space: www.nasa.gov/ see u!!!
Project Gemini and Project Apollo had astronauts practice piloting and working in space.
The Gemini Project (Gemini Missions) gave astronauts practice piloting spacecraft and working in space. It helped NASA develop techniques and equipment necessary for the success of the Apollo missions, including spacewalks and rendezvous and docking maneuvers.
As each Apollo spacecraft had three astronauts at a time and seven Apollo crafts flew to the moon, there were a total of 21 astronauts.
Astronauts during the Mercury project ate freeze-dried food, such as chicken stew and beef pot roast, that was rehydrated with water. They also consumed bite-sized cubes of food wrapped in edible gelatin coating to prevent crumbs in the spacecraft.
The project was named Gemini. Gemini was a NASA space program that aimed to test rendezvous and docking procedures in space in preparation for the Apollo missions to the Moon. It involved launching spacecraft with two astronauts on board to practice crucial maneuvers required for space travel.
Project Gemini was the second human spaceflight program of NASA that aimed to develop the capabilities and techniques necessary for the Apollo missions to land astronauts on the Moon. It focused on tasks such as spacewalks, docking of spacecraft, and long-duration missions. Gemini missions also helped in understanding the effects of long-duration spaceflights on astronauts.
Redstone.
The Project Orion study, often misspelled as the Project Onion study, examined a spacecraft that was meant to be launched by igniting a set of atomic bombs off behind the vehicle. The project was halted in 1963.
The Apollo Program
One problem with Project Mercury was the spacesuit. It was very heavy and needed to be redesigned several times. Another problem that Project Mercury faced was designing a way to bring back the astronauts without them overheating on re-entry. There were also tragedies to overcome when a test failed and astronauts died.
Project Gimini
Project Gemini, originally named Mercury Mark II, was the second US space program. It was a bridge from project Mercury to the Apollo moon missions program. The spacecraft carried two people and tested rendezvous and docking.
