The docking adapters for Gemini and Agena were apparently tested for Gemini VI; [there's at least one photo, S65-52015, of the ground test](https://images.nasa.gov/details/S65-52015). Gemini VI's Agena "[failed to go into orbit](https://www.nasa.gov/mission/gemini-vi/)" and the Gemini VI-A mission rendezvoused with Gemini VII instead.

These two components and the Gemini spacecraft were mounted atop a 50-foot "Timber Tower" at KSC'S Radio Frequency Test Systems site Jan. 27-28. The prime Gemini 8 crew and their backups boarded the spacecraft on the tower to conduct a series of Radio Frequency Capability Tests between Gemini 8 and the Agena target. **Docking compatibility checks also were made between the two vehicles.** Emphasis mine. It isn't clear to me if the "Boresight Range Tower" of the Gemini VI photo is the same as the "Timber Tower" referred to in the press release. [On Astronautix](http://www.astronautix.com/g/geminiagenatargetvehicle.html) such tests appear to be referred to as "Combined Interface Tests", starting with Gemini 6. The same term is used in [the link to SP-4002 that Controlgroup shared](https://www.nasa.gov/history/SP-4002/p3b.htm). All found by Googling "gemini agena interface test."
