Hi,

Looking for an interesting picture from Gemini 3 or 10.

Thanks in advance,

...Like what? Have you tried looking at the NASA GRIN archives yet?
And why those specific missions?

Yeah, I already went through GRIN. For those that are unfamiliar with that
archive, it's a nice site and well done:

http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/

What's in common between those two missions?

See Neil's post.

This one is making me hungry. Haven't had a good corned beef sandwich in a
while.

Hopefully yours will stay in your stomach, unlike the Gemini one.

Root cause of the problem: they screwed up and didn't get it from Nooo Yawk.

An especially interesting one. Does anyone here know where there's a
closer shot, or a diagram, of what was actually on the Agena display
panel?

(that setup always somehow reminded me of those bolt-on turbo/supercharger
packages and such for performance cars, which include mods to the hood --
usually a simple teardrop-shaped fairing -- to make room for the gauge
that protrudes, facing the driver's view from outside)

There is a diagram of the Agena Status Display Panel on my Titan II
website:

http://www.geocities.com/titan_2_missile/images/GT13.gif

http://www.geocities.com/titan_2_missile/gemini.htm

The diagram came from the page 14-6 (page 524 in the PDF file) of the
Gemini Familiarization Manual - Rendezvous and Docking Configurations.

A link to the PDF manual is available on Bob Andrepont's webpage at:
