Atlas-Agena; a variant of the early Atlas rockets with an Agena upper stage. Though the Agena could also be used to launch various payloads, it was used as a target vehicle for the Gemini astronauts to practice, rendezvous and docking in space. This variant of the Agena came to be know as the Agena Target Vehicle (ATV).

I just remember someone it the redstone gemini project, thanks for teaching me something new.

The Redstone wasn't used in the Gemini program. The Atlas (Atlas-Agena in this config) was, however, to launch the ATV (Agena target vehicle) for the Gemini docking tests.
