Close-up view of the Hand Held Maneuvering Unit which will be used by astronaut David R. Scott during the extravehicular activity on the Gemini-8 spaceflight. High pressure cold gas released through the unit's nozzles produces the required controlled thrust to maneuver in a zero-gravity environment.
