Unidentified Photographer Two photographs of the Aurora 7 spacecraft on top of its Atlas Booster and its recovery in the Atlantic Ocean after three orbits, Mercury-Atlas 7, May 1962. Stamped "D4C 9290" and "D4C 9016," respectively, on the verso u.r., each with 1967 McDonnell Douglas stamps on the verso u.l. Vintage chromogenic prints on fiber-based Kodak paper with "A Kodak Paper" watermark on the verso, image sizes to 10 1/2 x 8 in. (26.5 x 20.3 cm), unmatted. Condition: Minor crease to u.r. corner of first print. N.B. Aurora 7 Mercury Spacecraft No. 18 is seen after mating to the Atlas Booster at Launch Complex 14 at the Cape (first image).
