1959Best.-Nr. 80613Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 1959. Contemporary print. Photograph. Good. Sheet is approximately 8 inches by 10.5 inches. Black and white photographic image is approximately 9 inches by 6.5 inches. This is printed on photographic paper stock. The image is of a Pilot/Astronaut in a flight suit/spacesuit seated on a chair. Based on comparison with NASA early photographs of the Mercury 7 Astronauts this appears to be an astronaut in their spacesuit. It may be Gordon Cooper in the picture. The photo is contemporary with Project Mercury. Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the United States running from 1958 through 1963. An early highlight of the Space Race its goal was to put a man into Earth orbit and return him safely ideally before the Soviet Union. Taken over from the US Air Force by the newly created civilian space agency NASA it conducted twenty uncrewed developmental flights some using animals and six successful flights by astronauts. The program took its name from Roman mythology. The astronauts were collectively known as the "Mercury Seven" and each spacecraft was given a name ending with a "7" by its pilot. On April 9 1959 NASA's first administrator Dr. Keith Glennan announced the names of the agency's first group of astronauts at a news conference in Washington D.C. Now known as the "Original Seven" they included three Naval aviators M. Scott Carpenter Walter M. Schirra Jr. and Alan B. Shepard Jr.; three Air Force pilots L. Gordon Cooper Jr. Virgil I. Gus Grissom and Donald K. Deke Slayton; along with Marine Corps aviator John H. Glenn Jr. This group photo of the original Mercury astronauts was taken in June 1963 at the Manned Spacecraft Center MSC now Johnson Space Center in Houston Texas. The astronauts are left-to-right: Cooper Schirra Shepard Grissom Glenn Slayton and Carpenter. Project Mercury became NASA's first major undertaking. The objectives of the program were to place a human-rated spacecraft into orbit around Earth observe the astronaut's performance in such conditions and safely recover the astronaut and the spacecraft. The Mercury flights proved that humans could live and work in space and paved the way for the Gemini and Apollo programs as well as for all further human spaceflight.
