Feldman \n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/project_mercury.htm\">https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/project_mercury.htm<\/a><\/p>\nProject Mercury Printable (** for premium members only) \n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/printables\/files\/printables-club\/project_mercury.pdf\"> https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/printables\/files\/printables-club\/project_mercury.pdf<\/a><\/p>\nProject Mercury (1959 – 1963) was the first manned American spaceflight program . With the success of its Mercury-Atlas 6 flight on February 20, 1962, the project achieved its goal of putting an American astronaut (John Glenn) into orbit around the earth. Project Mercury took place at the height of the international space race, and was an important component of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the Western world.<\/p>\nThe Atlantic: The Historic Flight of Mercury 6 \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star4.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"****\"> \nSee what the Mercury spaceflight program looked like by scrolling through this huge collection of large high-resolution full-color and black-and-white photographs from the Atlantic magazine. With most of the photos coming directly from NASA and the Associated Press, this article is a time capsule allowing you to travel back in time to the start of the space program. “After being postponed ten times, the launch [of Mercury-Atlas 6] finally boosted Glenn into space, where he made three successful orbits at 17,400 miles per hour, returning safely home to a national celebration.” <\/p>\nNASA: Kennedy Space Center: Mercury \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*****\"> \nThe Kennedy Space Center has been the launch site of all human-manned space flights since 1968, so it is one of the best sources of information on manned space flights, including the very first ones launched as part of Project Mercury. The goals, objectives, and guidelines of the project are clearly laid out: “To orbit a manned spacecraft around Earth; to investigate man’s ability to function in space; [and] to recover both man and spacecraft safely.” These, plus information about astronaut selection, are all explored in detail. <\/p>\nNASA: Mercury \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*****\"> \nFebruary 20, 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the successful Mercury-Atlas 6 flight. Although this NASA site was built five years ago (in celebration of the 45th anniversary) these resources are all still relevant. They include videos, interviews, and photo slideshows in addition to articles, and the original 1960’s press releases. Best clicks include the multimedia Americans in Orbit, and History of Human Space Flight. <\/p>\n … Click to continue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/project_mercury.htm\">Project Mercury <\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n #3.

Feldman \n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/project_mercury.htm\">https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/project_mercury.htm<\/a><\/p>\nProject Mercury Printable (** for premium members only) \n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/printables\/files\/printables-club\/project_mercury.pdf\"> https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/printables\/files\/printables-club\/project_mercury.pdf<\/a><\/p>\nProject Mercury (1959 – 1963) was the first manned American spaceflight program . With the success of its Mercury-Atlas 6 flight on February 20, 1962, the project achieved its goal of putting an American astronaut (John Glenn) into orbit around the earth. Project Mercury took place at the height of the international space race, and was an important component of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the Western world.<\/p>\nThe Atlantic: The Historic Flight of Mercury 6 \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star4.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"****\"> \nSee what the Mercury spaceflight program looked like by scrolling through this huge collection of large high-resolution full-color and black-and-white photographs from the Atlantic magazine. With most of the photos coming directly from NASA and the Associated Press, this article is a time capsule allowing you to travel back in time to the start of the space program. “After being postponed ten times, the launch [of Mercury-Atlas 6] finally boosted Glenn into space, where he made three successful orbits at 17,400 miles per hour, returning safely home to a national celebration.” <\/p>\nNASA: Kennedy Space Center: Mercury \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*****\"> \nThe Kennedy Space Center has been the launch site of all human-manned space flights since 1968, so it is one of the best sources of information on manned space flights, including the very first ones launched as part of Project Mercury. The goals, objectives, and guidelines of the project are clearly laid out: “To orbit a manned spacecraft around Earth; to investigate man’s ability to function in space; [and] to recover both man and spacecraft safely.” These, plus information about astronaut selection, are all explored in detail. <\/p>\nNASA: Mercury \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*****\"> \nFebruary 20, 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the successful Mercury-Atlas 6 flight. Although this NASA site was built five years ago (in celebration of the 45th anniversary) these resources are all still relevant. They include videos, interviews, and photo slideshows in addition to articles, and the original 1960’s press releases. Best clicks include the multimedia Americans in Orbit, and History of Human Space Flight. <\/p>\n … Click to continue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/project_mercury.htm\">Project Mercury <\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n #3.
