Gemini 4 | Titan II | Original Footage

Video from the channel Volksord about Gemini IV, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 2:05. Language: English. Video type: Launch.

Gemini 4 lifted off aboard a Titan II with James McDivitt and Ed White. The clip captures the launch with the original period control commentary.

The final count and ignition can be heard, along with the start and end of the roll program, the pitch program, and confirmation at 50 seconds that the trajectory is nominal. After two minutes, stage separation is announced and confirmed from the ground, after which the radio guidance system that controls the final phase of powered flight comes into operation.

At three minutes, the trajectory was still as planned, and McDivitt reported that the spacecraft's readouts matched those at the control center. The video ends before orbital insertion.
