Summary[edit]

Description
English: READY FOR FLIGHT - On level three of the gantry on pad 5, Project Mercury astronaut Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom pauses briefly while a technician completes final adjustments in the Liberty Bell 7 spacecraft, which carried Grissom 118 miles (190 km) into space on Friday, July 21, 1961. The craft's large trapezoidal observation window can be seen behind the pilot. The Pilot Observer Camera, which brought the astronaut's head and shoulders into view, was to reflect the lights on the flight events sequence panel through the 5-inch plexiglas parabolic mirror attached to Grissom's suit, to provide and accurately time record the pilot's voice communications, eye scan pattern and arm motions. The spacecraft sank on landing and was not recovered until July 20, 1999.
