Gemini 3 March 23, 1965
The first manned Gemini flight and first U.S space flight with two astronauts aboard featured the first use of an Orbital Attitude Maneuvering System to create a controlled orbital and path. This capability created the first fully maneuverable U.S. manned spacecraft. During the flight, the Gemini 3 spacecraft's orbit was altered to a more oval and higher pattern, ranging in altitude from 100 to 139 miles. Orbit was also shifted to a more circular pattern, using on-board thrust -
