KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A Project Mercury spacecraft carrying astronaut Virgil I. 'Gus' Grissom on the nation's second manned space flight landed in the Atlantic Ocean about 305 statute miles from here and about 145 statute miles east northeast of the Grand Bahama Island at about 7:36 a.m. EST today. The craft reached an altitude of about 118 statute miles and a speed of approximately 5,310 miles an hour. The suborbital flight of the Mercury-Redstone 4 required about 16 minutes. Preliminary data indicated the pilot performed satisfactorily during the flight. The spacecraft was known as Liberty Bell 7. (NASA Photo)
