Crew module contained crew and equipment module contained equipment, which is pretty obvious. Gemini Program sent 2 astronauts to space in bigger version of the Mercury Capsule. The objective of Gemini Program was to develop space travel techniques and knowledge to make Apollo Program successful, which had to land men on the Moon and back on Earth. All of the Gemini Program spacecrafts were launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. .
The Gemini Program used Titan II GLV as the launch vehicle to push the spacecraft out of the atmosphere. Titan II GLV was used to launch twelve Gemini missions. It was 109 ft high and 10 ft in diameter and weighed 340,000 lb.
