His 144-ton spaceship soared into orbit Over Bermuda at the Start of his scheduled three orbit flight Carpenter laconically repeated that his condition was sex  it was a perfect launch. As car Penter passed Over Bermuda his fellow astronaut Virgil i. Grossom reported from a control station that Aurora 1 was in a Safe and stable orbit. Roger Sweet words Carpenter replied. Scientists said Carpenter flew through space at 17,532 Miles a hour in an orbit ranging in Alti tude from 99 Miles at the lowest Point to.164 Miles at apogee the highest Point Carpenter was Riding the same space path carved out feb. 20 by John h. Glenn or. In his pioneering flight. Out of Carpenter s experiments will come knowledge vital to the future of , manned flight tothe Moon and beyond. The Tough wiry Carpenter appearing As casual As any Man on thai Way to work was cased into his Bell shaped Cabin at 4 44 . Est. He Lay strapped to his contour Rouch for Oliree hours and on minute before his Atlas rocket s mighty motors roared into life. The checkout countdown had proceeded flawlessly the smoothest in the his tory of the Mercury Man in space program. There had been Only one hold a up up and a Way this was Liow Scott Carpenter got under Way on his triple t Earth orbit flight from Cape canaveral. His capsule Aurora 7 is perched High above Tho blast of the Atlas rocket engines at Tho moment of launch. United Tress International photo i delay of about 45 minutes to let a persistent morning Haze Burn off the Cape so tracking cameras could operate efficiently. Carpenter s Takeoff was two hours and two minutes earlier than Glenn a which had been delayed by repeated weather  the e Navy test Pilot jumped into orbit just 93 Days after Glenn s flight. Five minutes alter Takeoff the heartening word came from Mercury a electronic computer that the trajectory and the Speed about17,500 Miles on hour were right to put Aurora 7 in orbit. Maneu vers Craft Carpenter immediately began exercising the spacecraft s controls mane vering the Little Cabin to face this Way and that in space. This is Standard Pilot training practice. Scott reported the controls were working Fine. Seven minutes alter lift off car Penter oriented his Craft so he could see the empty Atlas Booster passing into orbit beneath him. I be got the Booster in the Cen Ter of the window he reported by radio. He was to try to photograph the separating rocket and observe i for As Long As possible to deter mine How Well distances can be estimated in space. Each time he took a picture he reported How far away he thought the spent Atlas was. The picture Sand a tape recording of his Esti mates were to be compared after the flight.
