The Gemini 11 spacecraft is lowered onto a dolly for preflight maintenance before stacking on the Titan rocket at the Kennedy Space Center. Dick Gordon and Pete Conrad would liftoff in this spacecraft on September 12, 1966 for a mission lasting almost three days. The crew practiced docking with the Agena unmanned docking craft, and Gordon also performed two spacewalks during the mission.
