Heat Shield Hatch Mechanism - Simulated Altitude and Temperature Functional Test.
Abstract
The heat shield-hatch assembly for Gemini B is designed to provide access to the crew transfer tunnel during the orbital phase of a mission. The purpose of the testing was to demonstrate that the heat shield hatch latching mechanism would function satisfactorily in simulated orbital temperature and pressure environments. (Author)
