This maneuvering unit was constructed for training purposes only, and is of the same dimensions and weight as the one that was flown on the Gemini 9 mission in June 1966. However, the unit was not tested on Gemini 9 due to Eugene Cernan having to return to the spacecraft ahead of schedule. The jet-powered devices were not actually used during spacewalks until the Space Shuttle program.

NASA transferred this device to the Museum in 1970.
