The following is a description of each of the major areas in which
the crew will be extensively involved. •••Schedules, defining specific areas
of preparation are included on figure 5-2 and figure 5-3 to illustrate

The crews will occupy their- respective seat positions during the
countdown and'launch through insertion. -Upon'completion of the launch
simulation, the crew will participate in the post simulation discussion.
During network simulations, the crews will have the option of remaining
in the trainer and practicing tasks independently. The launch and net-
work simulations as presently planned are as follows:
The Gemini crew station mockup, which duplicates the Gemini space-
craft internal crew ..station, geometry, will be. used-by the flight .crew to
establish cockpit stowage provisions, pressure suit and ejection seat •
interfaces, and use of special operational equipment. The.. advantages
afforded by this crew station are early availability and stowage flexi-
bility. The flight crew'will utilize this trainer as the" need arises.'

The three') major.-areas of briefings (excluding those briefings and ' '
reviews in' conjunction with training-'exercises') are the flight plan • -•' -
reviews, briefings on spacecraft systems, and flight experiments brief- •
ings.
Session 2 .*• This, session is .the same as Session 1 with more empha-
sis on reviewing stars and.constellations near the. orbital plane. The
flight crew will observe and identify constellations and star, patterns
as they drift across the window using the Gemini Flight Plan and star
charts for reference'. .Red .lighting, such as the suit finger tip lights,
will be utilized.. The .orbital conditions and the window viewing limits
for both pilots, will be simulated. . . . . . .
.2. Abort immediately after, staging with the associated half lift
reentry. : . ' . . . . . .
The flight crew will complete a Gemini egress and recovery operation
utilizing Boilerplate no. 201 and Spacecraft Static Article no. 5; if
available. .A brief outline of the program is as follows:
