1. The Orbit Attitude Control Thrusters on the Adapter Section
malfunctioned and put Gemini 8 in a spin. This system were shutdown in
an effort to regain control of the spacecraft.

Was the malfunction in the control system, or a leak in the electric
valve in the thruster? If the latter, how did they shut it down;
were there other valves in series?
