Mercury-Atlas 7 Patch

Item PAMERCA7 Price $4.50

This was the second U.S. orbital manned space flight. The flight featured space capsule attitude, stabilization and control tasks for the three-orbit mission. Scott Carpenter became the first astronaut to eat food in space. A re-entry navigational error caused the Mercury space capsule to overshoot its southeast Atlantic Ocean landing site by 200 miles. Carpenter spent three hours in a life raft before being picked up by a rescue helicopter.

3" diameter embroidered patch.
