Gemini 8 - Re-Entry & Splashdown (Full Mission 4)

Gemini 8 - Re-Entry & Splashdown (Full Mission 4)

The final part of the full mission for Gemini 8 sees MCC-H and the crew making preperations for the early retro sequence and re-entry and the final splashdown.

Note: The audio that has been released finishes just after CSQ stations attempt to contact the spacecraft just before re-entry (the attempt was not sucessfull).

Movies used during this sequence include footage from "This is Houston, Flight". HD video taken from the ISS is used between ground stations. Orbiter Space Simulator is used to depict the Gemini spacecraft.

Photos were sourced from Hector Grumberg - thanks to him.

I would recommend the viewer following the flight with the mission transcripts.
