Project Mercury was the NASA program that put the first American astronauts in space. Astronauts made a total of six spaceflights during Project Mercury. Two of those flights reached space and came right back down. These are called suborbital flights. The other four went into orbit and circled Earth. The first of those six flights was made in 1961.

NASA. The program used two launch vehicles: a Redstone for suborbital flights and an Atlas for orbital flights. Unmanned tests of the booster and capsule preceded the first human flight. Alan Shepard was chosen for the first manned Mercury launch, becoming the first American to fly in space on May 5, 1961.

Known as America?s ?man-in-space? program, Project Mercury?s aim was to put a man in orbit, understand the technical requirements and medical effects, and bring him back alive. Accomplishing these goals was more complex. That would be the work of the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration?NASA.
