MORL/MOL/ARIES_v_bw_o_n (1963 press/poss. Martin Co. photo)

“Wonders of The Universe:

A vital link in the space field, the Manned Orbital Research Laboratory (MORL) is being revived by both the [missing] and NASA with h[missing] the immediate future [missing] …tive program will [missing]
The Air Force w[missing] undertake this project to explore the military mission in space, while NASA would like to undertake this project to perform vital experiments in space which must be completed before the manned exploration of the planets is attempted.
One fact which is not too well known is that NASA probably would have initiated plans for a space station some time ago and would have been well along in their planning except for the priority which President Kennedy assigned to the Apollo project. However, the establishment of a space station was visualized as being so rewarding that NASA already had begun to develop the comprehensive technological foundation for this venture.”

Above per Dr. I. M. Levitt, Director, Franklin Institute, Philadelphia…once again with artistic accompaniment by Mr. John Gorsuch.

I think/thought the depiction is/was of Martin Company’s Authentic Reproduction of an Independent Earth Satellite (ARIES). But then again, MOL maybe? I do associate Gemini with MOL. They all sort of blur together to me now. Who knows.

What really matters is that this is yet another John Gorsuch work.
With that said, a wonderful profile, with what little is available on this remarkably talented & prolific artist:
