China Lake, California - Tests continue with the mockup Gemini spacecraft mounted on the rocket sled in checkout phase of the high-speed ejection seat to be used in the Gemini program. Mannekins are placed in ejection seats and are ejected at high speeds. The parachute opens and the mannekin lands safely in the desert. These tests will be used for emergencies during launch or recovery phases, replacing the escape tower
