Mercury Freedom 7

This is it! Alan Shepard's capsule from Project Mercury. NASA's history of manned spaceflight begins with this beautiful aluminum cone, launched atop Mercury-Redstone 3 on May 15, 1961 in a short, 15 minute ballistic flight to an altitude of 187.5 km.

Mercury Freedom 7 II

The cancelled ultimate flight of the Mercury program which would have been Alan Shepard's second flight, this time launched with a Mercury-Atlas rocket rather than a Mercury-Redstone. Since they decided not to fly this mission, we get the rare opportunity to see a Mercury capsule complete with the retro rocket pack and the parachute section. Unlike other Mercury capsules, this one has a large window on top for the astronaut to see directly forward (not to be confused with the plexiglass on the angled section replacing the hatch position.
