[i]Egressing the spacecraft, he will work his way to the Agena Target Docking Adapter, behind which is stored the 100-foot Dacron tether to link Agena and Gemini 11. He will withdraw the spacecraft end of the tether from the storage bag and loop it over the spacecraft docking bar, tightening the clamp to hold the tether in place. He will install the docking bar mirror, then return to the cabin area to change film in the 16mm camera and remount it so the lens points back toward the Power Tool Evaluation experiment worksite on the adapter. He will move back along the handrail, plug the quick-disconnect fitting on one end of the HHMU umbilical into the nitrogen valve fitting, and will commence the D-16 experiment.[/i]
[i]GORDON: Anyhow, I finally got the clamp on to my satisfaction. The tether was in place. There was one test remaining to do up there, and that was to install the mirror. I took one tug at the cover that was over that mirror, and it didn't give an inch. I just gave it up and said forget it. I came back to the hatch.[/i]
