CHRIS CALLE (B. 1961) "GEMINI 9"ChrisCHRIS CALLE (B. 1961) "GEMINI 9"Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Gemini 9" Signed lower right. Watercolor taped to Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the Republic of Palau 25th Anniversary of the Moon Landing stamps issued July 20, 1994.
Twice before it was scheduled to be launched, Gemini 9 was postponed. But the delays were the least of the difficulties faced by astronauts Thomas Stafford and Eugene Cernan during the mission. Originally, Gemini 9 was intended to dock with a previously launched target called an ATDA (for Augmented Target Docking Adapter). However, that target had evolved into what Cernan described as an "angry alligator." The intriguing description resulted from the failure of the ATDA to shed its nose shroud. The off-kilter device looked to the astronauts like a long-nosed, open-jawed reptile. While their initial mission was scrubbed, the astronauts still had another goal in mind: an extended space walk by Cernan three days after the launch. Though the extravehicular activity, as it was called, was intended to last for nearly three hours, Cernan experienced immediate problems with his space suit and jet-powered backpack. The backpack proved too cumbersome to don easily, and caused Cernan to break into a sweat that fogged his faceplate. Just as he managed to finally put on the backpack, Mission Control ordered him back inside the Gemini capsule. Despite that, Cernan's space walk was a record-setting two hours and eight minutes long.
