I'm trying to find which Gemini missions were recovered with the astronauts remaining on board their spacecraft while being brought aboard the recovery ship. I know Gemini 6A, Wally Schirra and Tom Stafford remained aboard, but don't believe any others did.

Anyone have details?

Neil Armstrong and Dave Scott on Gemini 8 were recovered while still in their spacecraft.

Tom Stafford and Gene Cernan did as well on Gemini 9.

Gemini 8 is not exactly a correct answer. Both astronauts left the spacecraft and climbed the Jacob ladder to board the USS Mason before the capsule was put onboard the recovery ship.

I found the transcript for GLV-9A, Tom and Geno did come aboard with their spacecraft. Stafford even called to request to come aboard. I guess Wally rubbed off on Tom, even though he was a Naval Academy grad!
