"Freedom 7, The NASA Mission Reports" comes with a bonus Windows CDROM featuring NASA movies, hundreds of images and more! Project Mercury, America's first manned space flight program, was orchestrated by NASA's Space Task Group and included suborbital and then orbital flights using the Redstone and Atlas boosters. The period from NASA's inception in late 1958 until Shepard's flight in the spring of 1961 was a time of concentrated activity, much of it breaking new ground, both technologically and medically. Alan Shepard was chosen from the "Mercury Seven" - the seven original astronauts selected from all applicants - to fly Freedom 7 into history. Freedom 7, The NASA Mission Reports gathers together in one place the rare documents and drawings of the Mercury-Redstone 3 mission - the flight of Freedom 7. Presented herein are transcripts and documents from the NASA archives, from a time before the assimilation and reporting of mission data was a developed process. Friendship 7, The NASA Mission Reports comes with a bonus Windows CDROM featuring a 57 minute NASA movie. February 20, 1962 - After weeks of delays, the fledgling National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States of America sent a man into orbit around the Earth. From that day to the present, the name of John Glenn became synonymous with the hazardous new occupation of Astronaut. Friendship 7, The NASA Mission Reports takes a look at the first flight of John Glenn through the eyes of the people who made his trip possible. Also included is a transcript of the entire ground-to-spacecraft communications, as well as dozens of diagrams and photographs of the Mercury - Atlas space vehicle. Friendship 7, The NASA Mission Reports is taken directly from the NASA archives. It gives an unprecedented insight into the man, the team that supported him and the true nature of what it meant to have the "Right Stuff”.
