Photo of Gemini 7 from Gemini 6A during the revised Gemini 6A mission.

Gemini 6A launched 11 days after Gemini 7 had launched, and rendezvoused with Gemini 7 about three hours into its flight. During this time the two crafts came within nearly a foot of each other and Gemini 6 did several fly arounds of Gemini 7 allowing for some pretty unique photos of the two crafts.

Gemini 6A lasted 1 day, 1 hour and 51 minutes and was crewed by Walter Schirra and Thomas Stafford1 while Gemini 7 lasted 13 days, 18 hours and 35 minutes and was crewed by Frank Borman and James Lovell2.
