Gemini 7 Seen From Gemini 6A

Gemini 7, carrying Frank Borman and Jim Lovell, is photographed from Gemini 6A during history's first rendezvous between two crewed spacecraft in orbit. Wally Schirra and Tom Stafford flew Gemini 6A to within a few feet of Gemini 7, station-keeping for more than five hours and proving that precise orbital rendezvous — a technique essential to the Apollo Moon landings — was achievable.
