A description of the rendezvous techniques, procedures, and flight data charts developed for the Gemini VI-A mission is presented in this paper. The flight data charts and crew timeline activities were developed over an 8-month period. Successful rendezvous is critically dependent on the presentation to the flight crew of sufficient information developed onboard the spacecraft. The Gemini VI-A flight crew used this information to evaluate the rendezvous progress by several different methods and made critical decisions based on their evaluation. The system combination found most effective in making these evaluations was the range-rate data from the radar, and the angle data from the platform.
