It was constructed for the Gemini program in Building 1244 and it became operational in June 1963 at a cost of $320,000[4] and later reconfigured for the Apollo program.[4] The simulator consists of a gantry frame, with an overhead carriage from which test craft were suspended by cables.[6] A gimbal was powered hydraulically and was capable of changing pitch and yaw at a rate of 1 radian per second or roll at 2 radians per second. The gantry also moved like an overhead crane using electric motors and was capable of travelling {{convert|210|ft}} longitudinally at up to {{convert|20|ft/s}}, {{convert|16|ft}} laterally at up to {{convert|4|ft/s}} and vertically {{convert|45|ft}} at up to {{convert|10|ft/s}}.[5] It is the only surviving simulator from the NASA Gemini and Apollo space programs that was used by astronauts to practice docking of space capsules with other vessels.[2] Ability to dock reliably with the lunar landing module was a crucial skill essential for the mission to return from the moon.[6] The docking simulator was used alongside the Projection Planetarium in training exercises. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1985.[2][6][7] Currently it is stored, hanging from the rafters in Building 1244, a vast hangar at Langley, and there are no plans for it otherwise.[2][6] See also
