I just picked up a dark blue covered, NASA Project Gemini familiarization manual Rendezvous and Docking Configurations, Manned Satellite Spacecraft, by McDonnell, SEDR 300 Volume II, July 1966, that has 16 sections to it. I'm not familiar with these publications, are these rare? |

I would say yes. Don't know what the market would be but these are quite uncommon. |

Yes these are rare. I believe they have sold at auction for $500-800, but I don't recall seeing one for a few years.I have seen a couple of versions. "Long Range and Modified Configurations" is an earlier version. I believe the one you have is the latest. |

To get one with the Communication chapter is very hard to find. |

Not an earlier version, just a version that covers different configurations. It just happens that all the configurations after Gemini 7 were the same. |
