During which Mercury Program mission did America achieve space travel?
"Mercury Redstone 3", a Mercury capsule atop a Redstone rocket booster, carried NASA astronaut Alan Shepard on a 15-minute suborbital flight, May 5, 1961. The spacecraft was nicknamed "Freedom 7" and Shepard was the first American in space. Six months earlier, the more powerful Atlas rocket of "Mercury Atlas 5" had lofted Enos the chimpanzee for two orbits of the Earth. After Virgil "Gus" Grissom made a Redstone flight similar to Shepard's, John Glenn flew "Mercury-Atlas 6" and his capsule "Friendship 7" on February 20, 1962, becoming the first American to orbit the Earth.
Where was Mercury Freedom 7 launched?
It was launched at Cape Canaveral, Florida, on May 5, 1961 (9:34 EST). The Freedom 7 capsule was used by Alan Shepard on the first US manned space mission, a 15-minute suborbital flight called Mercury Redstone 3. The rocket used variants of the Redstone and Jupiter-C ICBM boosters (for later Mercury missions, the Atlas missile was used).
