Gemini 5, launched on August 21, 1965, was a NASA mission that set a new endurance record by spending nearly eight days in space, proving that astronauts could survive the long-duration missions necessary for a moon landing. Commanded by Gordon Cooper and piloted by Pete Conrad, the spacecraft tested fuel cell technology for extended spaceflight and conducted scientific experiments. Despite initial problems with fuel cells and navigation, the mission successfully demonstrated the feasibility of long-term human spaceflight.
