I am researching obscure Gemini applications as proposed in the early 1960s. A specific topic I am researching is the origin of the Big G (Big Gemini) concept.

I already have several (McDonnell) reports from this program, but I am looking for its formation. Certainly their studies for MORL logistics capsules had some influence.

In the early 1960s NASA sponsored additional studies that evaluated logistics vehicles for large space stations. One study was called Operations and Logistics for Space Stations, was done in the 1962-63 time frame. I understand McDonnell did a contracted study for that effort, and I am looking for their report, which would be dated late 1963.

The archive in Clear Lake does not have it. Any suggestions?
