Atlas Facilities-Kearny Mesa

  • Drew Granston said:
    I believe that at least 3 of these men are Mercury astronauts. Starting from the left, they look like Alan Shepard, Gordon Cooper, (unknown), and John Glenn.

    On the right is John Glenn.
  • Drew Granston said:
    John Glenn is the only astronaut to fly in both the Mercury and Space Shuttle spacecraft. Before he became an astronaut, on July 16, 1957, Glenn completed the first supersonic transcontinental flight. He is one of 3 astronauts elected to Congress, along with Jack Schmitt (Apollo 17) and Jack Swigert (Apollo 13) (tragically, Swigert died of cancer after the election but before the beginning of his Congressional term).

UDT-21 and Mercury 7

  • Phil Konstantin said:
    You have several of the astronauts' names wrong. Left to right: Schirra - Cooper - Shepard - Grissom - Glenn - Carpenter - Slayton
  • Creamy Pet said:
    great
  • E G said:
    The written record suggests that this was at Wallops. This is anecdotally supported by that fact that there really was no need to travel all of the way to Rosie Roads to complete basic open-water training, especially with all of the other activities and training occurring at Langley, Johnsville, the Cape, and factory visits at Kearney Mesa and Marshall and STL during this same time. Doesn't make much sense.

    At the time UDT training in the East Coast was held at Little Creek, VA, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
