Gemini Titan III lifted off from Pad 19 on March 23, 1965 and successfully completed three orbits. Unlike Redstone or Atlas of the Mercury Project, Gemini Titan’s rocket was two rockets in one. The first stage lifted the rocket from the launch pad to a height of 64 km (40 miles), before dropping away to allow the second stage to blast off into orbit. The flight had an apogee of 140 miles and perigee of 100 miles.
