Docked with an orbiting Agena rocket. Collins performed two EVAs totaling a little less than a hour and a half. The first was a standup EVA, terminated after 49 minutes when both Collins and Young experienced severe eye irritation from an unidentified source. During the second EVA, Collins lost his camera and had difficulties due to a lack of hand holds. He did, however, successfully retrieve a micrometeorite experiment.
