This is the first of numerous readings the Pilot will make around the world to gather Radia Tion data at the project Mercury Orbital altitudes. He will eat x15 reaches 95,000 feet in heat test Edwards air Force . Up shooting to the Edge of space the x15 paved the Way for coming assaults on its own world aircraft record of nearly go Miles. The full Fth by air Force Muj Bob Rushworth. Was designed to ice How fast the x15 heats up from air friction a crucial Factor when the rocket ship renters the Earth s atmosphere from High in space. The test had been postponed twice. Rush Worth roared to almost 100, 000 feet or 20 Miles up to Cap Ture temperature increase rat in with More than boo sensors on the Els s Black Metal skin. At 05,000 feet Rushworth actually Reache Altitude or 9s.uou feet and a peed of .1,44.1 Miles per hour in tues Day s test described a uneventful for the highly Succop Soful  flight was scheduled with Pilot Jack Mckay at Tho controls to test nor pressure to which the x15 to subjected. In future soaring flights to As High As 73 Miles in space the rocket ship must descend along a pre Cise path or it can to mangled by reentry heating. 90-Degrefl Bank during his flight at five time the Speed of sound. Kush Worth rolled the x15 into a 90-degree Bank one of its steepest yet to obtain the necessary data for space scientists. He was not seeking highest temperatures. Tho Els s exterior made of special Nickel steel Alloy reached temperature of Doo degrees fahrenheit. Highest temperature re corded by the x15 i for is 1.450 degrees which would Burn up conventional aircraft.

Fifth orbit Cooper will make several Pitre a Riff checks Inge record n status a port and exercise n second time West of California. Sixth orbit the Pilot win pitch Faith 7 Down in an attempt to observe n 3-mll 11on-can die Power Light on the ground in South afr Lra. The lest will help determine if a manned spacecraft returning from Tom Moon Ean use a High intensity Light in Earth in n navigation Aid. Over the Pic Lff Copper will release a to Lnch inflatable balloon which will Trail him for 90 minutes be fore it h Cut Loose. Purpose is to Check drag effects on an object i space and to determine n Pilot f ability to judge distances. Seventh orbit t Cooper will study known Start checking their Light with a photo meter. He win Moke his first of seven passes Over red China and will ent and drink West of Chile. Eighth orbit Cooper will make additional spacecraft and physical checks. J ninth through Ift Tii orbits i the flight plan culls for Cooper to sleep for alight hours which he May begin anytime during the ninth orbit. If at times he in not asleep he will Monitor Cabin sys i terns operate the television com j Era. Take pictures or do other task int i option. During the rest period the capsule will he in uncontrolled Drifting flight Rotonti affonce every 30 minutes As it follows to Orbital course. If Cooper Over Lerps the Muchen.

Above the Indian Ocean a Sunset he will photograph zodiacal ight and of glow layers on the Torzon. Photos could determine if i Light he nebulous glow. M the East just before Dawn and in the West after Sun it is caused by Tho Sun s Ray fleeting off dust Clouds. He also will photograph the horizon in aimed at determining if it can in used As a guidance reference when manned spaceships return from the Moon. 11th orbit infrared photographs will a made of Clouds and other weather features. Results could help de Elop cameras for weather Satel Lites. Ift Tii orbit Cooper Wilt conduct medical spacecraft radiation and other checks. 19tii orbit Southeast of Cuba the astronaut will photograph the Moon and Norzon in one picture in another lunar navigation Experiment a 28 foot extendable High frequency radio Antenna sin Ted for the two Man gemini spacecraft will be tested in a communications Check. Soth orbit gemini Antenna test will be repeated. Radiation and other measurement will be made. Cist orbit Cabin Cooling system shut of during fourth orbit will be re stored Over Indian Ocean. Cooper again will photograph the horizon Over the Pacific. 22nd orbit Over Africa Cooper will begins towing Loose equipment in preparation for Landing. Reverse Rock ets on base of capsule will fir East of Shanghai China and Faith 7 will descend to Parachute land ing 80 Miles Southeast of Midway Island in the Pacific
