This is a replica Gemini Spacecraft flown 1965-66, launching atop a two-stage Titan II rocket.
 

Titan II features a custom LR-87 engine and includes hot staging.
 

Gemini features a fully modeled thruster array including RCS (Re-Entry Control System). Has somewhere like 400+ dV worth of monoprop. Retro stage has 4x solid rockets for the deorbit burn. Includes ‘Gemini Docking Mechanism’, once in orbit hit Brakes to remove nose fairing.
 

No science on this one, just a crew report.
 

Launch Profile
Rocket is draggy, don’t stray too far from prograde in the lower altitudes, fly more vertical than normal until you’re past it. ~70deg. @ 10K.
 

It gets to space easily but it’s a little tricky to do it all in one full-throttle burn like the real thing.
