1965-024A
Gus Grissom and John Young rode Gemini spacecraft 3 into orbit in Mar 1965. They made history by changing a piloted spaceship's orbit for the first time. The mission checked out the tracking network, tested the OAMS engines, and verified the life support systems.
Retrofire was 101m/s aft, 32m/s down. Splashdown was at 22 26 N, 70 51 W, near Grand Turk Island in the Atlantic.
