As part of a project to obtain ultraviolet spectra of selected stars and planets, Gemini astronauts will take photographs through an open hatch in their spacecraft with a hand‐held camera. The experiment is under the management of Karl G. Henize, professor of astronomy at Northwestern University; the pictures will be taken during the last three Gemini flights, whose dates are still classified. Professor Henize expects to complete the analysis of the results in 1968.
