Why MERCURY 7 ?

The Mercury Seven were a group of seven astronauts selected by NASA to participate in the Mercury program, the United States' first manned space program. They were chosen from a larger group of applicants for their exceptional qualifications, courage and adaptability.

These men were the pioneers of American space exploration, braving the unknown and pushing the limits of what was then technologically possible. They played a crucial role in establishing the foundations that allowed the United States to advance in the conquest of space and paved the way for more advanced space missions, such as the Apollo program.

The MERCURY program

NASA's Mercury program featured a total of six manned space missions between May 1961 and May 1963. Each of these missions was intended to test and demonstrate different capabilities necessary for human spaceflight, such as launch, orbit, recovery and survival in space.
