Gordon Cooper, Jr., completed 22 orbits of the earth on May 15/16. Cooper remained in space for 34 hours and 20 minutes in an orbit ranging from 100 to 166 miles altitude and landed near Midway Island in the Pacific only 7,000 yards from the recovery carrier, the USS Kearsarge. This sixth manned Mer cury mission and fourth U.S. orbital flight was the most accurate of the entire pro gram from the standpoint of landing and insertion into orbit. Booster for the flight was a 360,000-pound thrust Atlas D launch vehicle. 3
