RF2MX9KMK–Gemini Paraglider Wing (1960) in Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center of Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Chantilly, Virginia, USA
![From 1962 to 1964, NASA used the Paresev to develop the technology for landing the two-man Gemini capsule on land, instead of parachuting into the ocean, as had been done in Project Mercury. The astronauts would release an inflatable paraglider wing based on the work of Francis Rogallo, and maneuver to a runway or dry lake bed. Astronauts "Gus" Grissom and Neil Armstrong were among those who piloted the Paresev during several hundred flights at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The Paresev was towed by a ground vehicle or a small aircraft and released at an altitude between 5,000 Stock Photo](https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2GGBNMB/from-1962-to-1964-nasa-used-the-paresev-to-develop-the-technology-for-landing-the-two-man-gemini-capsule-on-land-instead-of-parachuting-into-the-ocean-as-had-been-done-in-project-mercury-the-astronauts-would-release-an-inflatable-paraglider-wing-based-on-the-work-of-francis-rogallo-and-maneuver-to-a-runway-or-dry-lake-bed-astronauts-quotgusquot-grissom-and-neil-armstrong-were-among-those-who-piloted-the-paresev-during-several-hundred-flights-at-edwards-air-force-base-in-california-the-paresev-was-towed-by-a-ground-vehicle-or-a-small-aircraft-and-released-at-an-altitude-between-5000-2GGBNMB.jpg "From 1962 to 1964, NASA used the Paresev to develop the technology for landing the two-man Gemini capsule on land, instead of parachuting into the ocean, as had been done in Project Mercury.

![(February 5, 1962) W. C. Sleeman, Jr. inspecting a model of the paraglider in 300 mph 7 x 10 Foot Wind Tunnel. The paraglider, or "Rogallo Wing," was proposed for use in the Gemini Program. It would have allowed Gemini to make precision landings on land, rather than in the water. But the wing suffered a number of problems. The biggest problem was getting it to deploy properly and reliably. The plan was canceled.
