“1965 WAS THE YEAR OF GEMINI!”
“Artist sketch of the Gemini-8 Astronauts, Neil A. Armstrong, command pilot, and David R. Scott, pilot, watching an engineer at work on the Titan II, Pad 19. The Gemini-8 crew for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s three day mission will attempt to achieve the first rendezvous and docking of two spacecraft in earth orbit.
Art by George Mathis,
Aerojet-General Corp.”
A rare acknowledgement of an artist (other than Robert McCall) in a (contractor originated) NASA-issued photo. I wonder how Aerojet-General swung that? Granted, Mr. Mathis was very talented, but so were many “anonymous” others. I'll take it.
Another work that appears to be in chalk or charcoal pencil.
Note the Aerojet-General logo - a capital letter “G” (minus text) - on each thrust chamber.
