Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Awaiting orders to proceed to the launching site for Project Mercury's second attempt to launch a man into space, astronaut Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom relaxes in a contour chair in the Personal Equipment Room of Hangar "S," Cape Canaveral, Fla. A parabolic plexiglas mirror on his chest reflects the faces of two fellow Mercury pilots: Walter M. Schirra (left) and M. Scott Carpenter. The mirror, which was not included in the May 5 Shepard flight, will be used to reflect the instrument panel, bringing it into view of the pilot observer camera. MR-4 has rescheduled for Friday, July 21.
