GEMINI SHOT
Third Try Begins (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) CAPE KENNEDY, Sept. 12. The countdown began a third time tonight for the launch of Gemini XI with Charles Conrad and Richard F. Gordon tomorrow, but an anxious eye was being kept on the weather which was expected to be marginal. The forecast was for “satisfactory but very cloudy conditions” with three layers of clouds over the area at altitudes of from 1500 ft to 10.000 ft. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration spokesman announced, “We are back in a go condition” after experts solved an electrical problem that grounded the Atlas rocket scheduled to launch an Agent target vehicle 97 minutes before the Gemini launch.
