Gemini Capsule atop Titan II GLV. The 10 manned Gemini program flights served as docking maneuver practice for future Apollo astronauts, as all but three who participated would go on to fly in the Apollo missions. Sadly, the three who did not get to fly all perished in the fatal Apollo I mission. Agena Target Vehicles launched by an Atlas rocket as soon as 90 mins prior to a Gemini launch served as placeholders for the landers the astronauts would have to dock with during an Apollo mission.
Staging functions historically.
Landing Procedure:
Once you have safely parachuted into the ocean, increase throttle to 100% and activate AG1 to deploy the flotation collar.
Abort procedure:
Press AG2 to eject seats, parachutes will deploy automatically but the force of the ejection is sufficient enough to propel the seats a safe distance away from the craft.
Enjoy!
P.S. Remember to disengage RCS prior to launch; only enable once in a stable orbit.

Thanks! I’m all about the little components and scalings that make the spacecraft distinct. Sharp eyes may notice that I increased the scale of the capsule by 40% in order to make it proportional to my Mercury capsules- the tinker panel is incredible! @HamishSpace

Experimented with orbiting at 57-59km, used the last booster stage to maintain altitude to directly combat the problem of air resistance. Was able to get quite a few orbits out of the second stage, from 125km to 185km before I attempted the in-atmosphere orbit. So long as you don’t dip below 55km you can actually use engines to stay at such a low orbit despite the extreme decay. Anyways, you should check out some of my replicas of WWII german rockets. I have in mind to do the Hermes Project rockets after the late Aggregat rockets, before moving on to Redstone, Jupiter, Juno and ultimately the Saturns.
