• Computer model of the Gemini Attitude Control Handle grip and cap assembly.
• Grip features diamond knurled serrations to improve handling.
• Cap would house two pushbutton switches for activating the astronaut’s microphone.

• The “T” shape of the cap differs from the earlier Gemini design, an innovation requested by astronaut Tom Stafford to reduce fatigue when twisting the handle left and right.
• NASA photo at right shows the grip from the Gemini XII spacecraft.
