Typewritten statement, one page, 8.5 x 11, NASA Manned Spacecraft Center letterhead, no date. Cooper details the highlights of his Gemini V flight. In part: “Despite the ultimate success of the Gemini V mission, frequent problems threatened its completion. Beginning with the malfunctioning of a fuel cell that supplied electricity, and then the malfunctioning of the guidance rockets as well as other problems, the astronauts were forced to make mid-flight repairs in space for the first time. As a result of these malfunctions, computer errors forced Gemini V to land a hundred miles off its original course. The difficulties that Astronauts Cooper and Conrad overcame accentuated the ingenuity of NASA to solve problems and remain a vital factor in space exploration.” Signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint “Gordon Cooper.” In fine condition.
