| - This spacecraft, an ATLAS/AGENA vehicle, was successfully launched from Cape Kennedy on July 18, 1966. It was the GEMINI X AGENA target vehicle (GATV10) with which the GEMINI 10 crew of young and collins successfully docked on July 21, 1966, 5 hr, 21 min after GEMINI 10 was launched. during rendezvous and docking, three midcourse maneuvers were effected using the GATV secondary propulsion system. In maneuver 1, the orbital apogee was changed from 163 n.m. to 414 n.m., the perigee from 158 to 160 n.m., the period from 90.4 to 94.9 min, and the inclination from 2887 to 2888 deg. During maneuver 2, the apogee was changed from 414 to 206 n.m., the perigee from 160 to 160 n.m., the period from 94.9 to 91.2 min, and the inclination from 2888 to 2886 deg. During maneuver 3, the apogee was changed from 206 to 209 n.m., the perigee from 160 to 204 n.m., the period from 91.2 to 92.0 min, and the inclination from 2886 to 2884 deg.
