Project Mercury Photos
Little Joe
The Little Joe project tested the Mercury escape tower system by
using a solid propellant rocket to simulate maximum launch forces.
Wallops Island Visitor's Center
This vehicle is on display at the NASA Wallops Island Visitor's Center
in Virginia. I would have shot some more photos, but mosquitoes were
eating me alive every time I stood still...
Hampton Air Power Park
David Weeks photographed this vehicle on display at the Air Power Park
in Hampton, Virginia. The Mercury capsule is a boilerplate model, but
the escape tower was the genuine article.
