The Flickr Atlas109D Image Generatr

Artist’s depiction of Mercury capsule (no. 13) separation from its Atlas LV-3B/Atlas-D booster (serial no. 109D) during John Glenn’s historic MA-6 earth-orbital mission. Gorgeous artwork by Convair/General Dynamics artist John M. Sentovic. A wonderful & appropriate combination of the “Right Stuff” in artist and of course, the original “Right Stuff” in Astronauts.

Thank You Gentlemen – Continue to Rest In Peace.

The image was featured in “ONE… TWO… THREE… AND THE MOON!”, NASA EP-7 (Revised 6-63), with the following caption:

“Artist’s conception of Mercury spacecraft separating from Atlas in orbit.”

Although apparently having been glued to a lightweight black construction paper (prevalent from the time period), it was likely within a binder, folder or something similarly protective, as it’s in very nice condition.
