Due to the premature use of the reentry control system an immediate
landing was required by Gemini safety rules, so the planned EVA and
other activities were cancelled. Retrofire took place on the 7th
revolution at 9:45:49 p.m. on 16 March, just over 10 hours after launch,
and the spacecraft splashed down in the western Pacific Ocean about 800 km west of Okinawa at 25.22 N,
136.00 E, 2 km from the target. The time was 10:22:28 p.m. EST, but was
during the day at the splashdown site. USAF frogmen parachuted from a C-54 rescue plane within minutes and affixed a flotation collar around the spacecraft. The crew was picked up by the
recovery ship U.S.S. Mason 3 hours later (1:28 a.m. EST, 17 March) and
the spacecraft at 1:37 a.m. Total mission elapsed time was 10:41:26. Keyword(s) :
