All astronaut maneuvering unit systems used during the Gemini 9 mission were in an acceptable condition for flight when the evaluation was terminated. Some difficulty was experienced with reception of the voice signal by the command pilot. All of the donning provisions are apparently practical in the orbital environment; however, the donning activities were more difficult to perform than had been experienced in the one-g and zero-g training exercises. Lighting was marginal because of the failure of one adapter floodlight and one penlight. The crewmembers reported a tendency for the extravehicular activity pilot and any loose equipment to move outward from the earth relative to the spacecraft. This tendency affected activities at a work station and maneuvering in an extravehicular environment.
