Elbert Leander 'Burt' Rutan (born June 17, 1943 in Estacada, Oregon) is an American aerospace engineer noted for his originality in designing light, strong, unusual-looking, energy-efficient aircraft, and considered the 'second true innovator' in the field of aerospace materials technology, after German engineer Hugo Junkers, who pioneered the design of all-metal aircraft in 1915. He is most famous for his design of the record-breaking Voyager, which was the first plane to fly around the world w

Gordon Cooper was launched into space on May 15, 1963 aboard the Mercury-Atlas 9 (Faith 7) spacecraft, the last Mercury mission. He orbited the Earth 22 times and logged more time in space than all five previous Mercury astronauts combined ? 34 hours, 19 minutes and 49 seconds, traveling 546,167 miles (878,971 km) at 17,547 mph (28,239 km/h), pulling a maximum of 7.6 g (74.48 m/s?). Towards the end of the Faith 7 flight there were mission-threatening technical problems. During the 19th orbit the

This is the main computing console for the Data Reduction Complex and is the heart of the NASA-MSC postflight data processing and reduction for America's manned space flight activities. Information telemetried back from orbiting spacecraft is processed here in order that scientists and engineers can perform a complete post-flight analysis of the mission.

A major objective of Project Gemini was to demonstrate the solution of the rendezvous and docking problems as associated with Earth orbiting vehicles. This simulator is a moving base simulator and is applicable to that port of the mission from a range of 100 feet separation of the two vehicles to physical contact, docking, rigidizing, unlatching and maneuvering away.
