The Gemini Agena Target Vehicle was designed to be launched into Earth orbit prior to a Gemini mission and used for rendezvous and docking practice. The GATV
had a docking cone at the forward end into which the nose of the Gemini spacecraft
could be inserted and held with docking latches. The GATV was a 6 meter long
cylinder with a diameter of 4.9 meters. The primary and secondary propulsion
systems were at the back end of the target vehicle with the attitude control gas
tanks and the main propellant tanks.
