Poster contains two images and text. The first image depicts the interior of the Gemini module, showing the control panels, an astronaut operating them, and his motion path. Text between the images reads: "Gemini control panels (above) supply information from electronic computers enabling the astronauts to gauge roll and direction. By firing thruster rockets the astronauts change orbit and direction and guide their return to earth. The flights are monitored by the operations center (below) which receives reports both from the spacecraft and from tracking stations over the world." The second and lower image depicts the operations center on earth with a number of men sitting in front of computer panels and images tracking the capsule on the walls. Screenprint, Letterpress.
