The countdown and launch into orbit of Gemini 3 on March 23rd 1965. Astronaut Gus Grissom is on his second flight and John Young his first (of an eventual 6). I have put together as much video as I could find of the preflight training along with pictures taken preflight. There is some video of the rocket assembly at Pad 19 and suit up activities as well as the pad arrival operations.

Audio is stereo containing seperate tracks for PAO and the ground/AirtoAir communication loops. It is roughly synched.

Video of launch is limited and is all I have on video and does not start until T minus 2 seconds. Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator is used to show the launch after T+ 1 minute (there is a snippet of staging from the film record). I have tried to use multiple views of the events through portions of the launch.

The video starts at T30 minutes and ends soon after orbital flight is started.

Audio is VOXEd in places The gaps are shortened to provide continuity and something to listen to.

This will be the first of a series to cover the entire Gemini 3 mission.
