Project Gemini (1964–1966) was NASA's second human spaceflight program after Mercury. Its overall purpose was to test rendezvous and docking technologies, and gain experience in week-long duration spaceflights. Its success led NASA to eventually achieve the first six crewed Moon landings later done by its successor program, Apollo, by July 1969.
