Mission Summary: The mission will consist of two launches, the ATV (Agena Target Vehicle) and the Gemini crew. First the ATV will launch aboard the Atlas rocket. It will follow standard launch and ascent procedures and insert to the proper orbit for the mission. After the ATV is confirmed to be in a stable orbit the crew will launch aboard the Titan II. The Titan II will follow standard launch and ascent sequences. Once both are in orbit they will begin a series of maneuvers to synchronize their orbit and velocity. Once that is done they will dock together. The on orbit operations will then be performed. Once they are done the vehicles will undock and deorbit. The Gemini capsule will return on parachutes as normal while the ATV will burn up in the atmosphere.
