S-11: Airglow Horizon Photography, M. Koomen, NRL.

No difficulties in the schedule are anticipated. This is the first flight of this experiment and the flight hardware is on schedule. The equipment has passed environmental testing. The experiment is mounted on a movable bracket and is "pointed" by the astronaut.

The first briefing of the astronauts (See and Bassett) has been held and another is to be held later in the Morehead Planetarium. The astronauts seemed "reasonably happy" with the experiment according to the principal investigator.

S-12: Micrometeorite Collection on Gemini S/C:

On schedule. No problems reported by the principal investigator. This is the first flight of this experiment, having been canceled out on GT-6.

S-28: Dim Light Photography, L. Dunkelman:

This experiment was first carried on Gemini VII and VI-A as "operational procedure." After processing by SSSC and MSFEB this month, it is hoped that it will assume full experiment status. It uses cameras already assigned to the S/C and sensitive black and white film, already qualified. Some further briefing will be required, probably at the Planetarium and possibly can be accomplished at the same time as S-1's Planetarium briefing.
