Gemini 9 will be the second half of a double-barreled U.S. space spectacular this week. If all goes as planned, while Stafford and Cernan sleep their furst night in space, a Surveyor spacecraft wUl try to gently settle its three spidery legs on the lunar surface.

Thursday morning, the world may be seeing television pictures of the moon's landscape shortly before Cernan sets out on a record breaking space walk. A lesm, 32-year-old Chicago native, Cernan plans to ease himself out of Gemini 9's right hatch for an exotic stroll through the cosmos that will wWp him one and a half times around the world at 17,500 miles an hour. For hours, he will be a human satellite. During the initial daylight time he is outside, he will be fed oxygen through a 25-foot umbilical cord from the spacecraft. Then, with a rocket pack on his back, he will attach himself to a 140-foot rope and shoot from place to place for about an hour.

All he needs to survive pressure for his suit and oxygen for life will be fed from the highly sophisticated maneuvering back pack. The pack will be used Instead of a space gun like Au" Force Lt. Col. Edward H. White had for the first American space walk last June.

Cernan's elaborate stint as a space walker clearly will be a highlight of Gemini 9's space venture. However, Stafford and Cernan also plan two re-rendezvous maneuvers with the ATDA, both critical to future U.S. space efforts. Morkefs Mt. Hog Market Prices paid until 12:30 p.m.
