Gemini 4, Terrain Photography, Texas (1965), NASA Vintage Photo, 8x10
(GE4-002-1)
Original vintage Gemini 4 photograph distributed by NASA dated June 23, 1965.  Photo was taken as part of the Synoptic Terrain Photography (STP) experiment to provide high quality pictures of large land areas which had been previously mapped by aerial photography.  The STP experiment was managed by Dr. Paul Lowman, Jr., geologist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
Shown in this photo is Guadalupe Peak (highest point in Texas), and the Salt Basin to the left (west) of the Peak.
Gemini 4 was launched on June 3, 1965 with splashdown on June 7, 1965 in the North Atlantic Ocean.  The flight was crewed by Jim McDivitt (commander) and Ed White (pilot).  In addition to the STP experiment, another major accomplishment of Gemini 4 was the first United States spacewalk by White that lasted approximately 20 minutes.
This vintage photograph is printed on glossy paper stock and has the NASA "purple" text printed on the reverse side.  Included is the NASA logo, headquarters address, release date, photo number and caption.  Caption identifies the camera, film type and settings used to take the photo.
Photo measures 8 x 10 inches

About
Space Flight Collectibles
The memorabilia we offer in our store was collected while I was a teenager and wrapped up in the enthusiasm of those early years of the space program.  Much of what we offer was collected as part of the research I was doing for projects in local science fairs. The memorabilia in our store are all original and include NASA and contractor brochures, photos, technical reports, press kits and commemorative collectibles.
We will be adding new memorabilia on a regular basis.  Subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates on new arrivals.
Whether you have an interest in the space program from a historical or technical perspective, or just looking to give someone a unique gift, we're sure you will find the memorabilia in our store of interest.
Our store is dedicated to the memory of my parents John  and Lorette who never stopped supporting
me in my interest in the space program.
In July 1969, my Father and I were fortunate to
receive a tour of the Kennedy Space Center
3 weeks before the launch of Apollo 11.
In this photo I am joined by our NASA host to
view the Saturn V/Apollo on Launch Pad 39A
surrounded by the Mobile Service Structure.
In July 1970, I had the opportunity to meet with
Wernher von Braun in his office at NASA Headquarters
in Washington, DC. Dr. von Braun was kind enough
to take the time to critique the design I had presented
at a local science fair on a space station re-using
Gemini and Apollo hardware.
