With the crew and capsule safely aboard the recovery vessel, the program of postflight debriefings and detailed investigations began. A major element of this was the immediate medicals conducted on the crew, for comparison with preflight data and that recorded during the mission. There was also a long, eleven-day debriefing schedule to be completed, onboard the recovery vessel, in Florida and back home at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas; all designed to maximise the scientific and technical information gathered while the experience was still fresh in the minds of the crew. The traditional postflight press conference followed, after which the crew's formal participation in the Gemini 5 mission ended. But before they could be reassigned to new duties, there would be a program of public appearances and tours to get through.
