Rescue Gemini
A version of Gemini was proposed for rescue of crews stranded in Earth orbit. This version, launched by a Titan 3C, used a transtage for manoeuvring. The basic Gemini re-entry module was extended to 120 inches (3.05 m) diameter to provide a passenger compartment for the rescued crew. The same concept would eventually be used for Big Gemini.

American manned rescue spacecraft. Study 1966. A version of Gemini was proposed for rescue of crews stranded in Earth orbit. This version, launched by a Titan 3C, used a transtage for maneuvering.

Status: Study 1966. Thrust: 71.17 kN (15,999 lbf). Gross mass: 12,300 kg (27,100 lb). Unfuelled mass: 6,300 kg (13,800 lb). Specific impulse: 311 s. Height: 11.00 m (36.00 ft).

The basic Gemini reentry module was extended to 120 inches (3.05 m) diameter to provide a passenger compartment for up to three rescued crew. The same concept would eventually be used for Big Gemini.
