Nearly 1000 miles separates
the point in space where a
Mercury capsules re-entry
maneuver begins and the point
in the ocean where the capsule
finally lands.
The drifting maneuver which
will be built into Comdr. Schir-
ra's flight plan will be designed
to leave him ample fuel for the
correct poSitioning of his cap
sule just before re-entry. Ex-
cess consumption of fuel in the
MAT flight of Comdr. Car
penter was one of the factors
believed responsible for the

The designation of Comdr,
Schirra as primary pilot for
NAB brings to the public eye
one OF the best-liked of the
seven astronauts. A pleasant
looking man Of slightly above
medium height, Comdr. Schirra
is notable even among the as
tronaut team for his ready wit.
He is also considered one of
the soundest technicians of the
group.
80 Korean Missions
Comdr. Schirra was born in
Hackensack, N. j., and edu-
Gated in Oradell, N. j.
During the Korean war he
was an exchange pilot, going
with an Air Force squadron to
Korea where he made 80 COM
bat missions.
He has been project officer
and instructor in several new
Navy plane developments and
a test pilot at the Nays Pa
tuxent River Md Naval Test
Center.
He has logged more than
5000 flying hours.
He was awarded the Dis
tinguished Flying Gross and
two Air Medals for his Korean
service.

drift. Whatever drifting takes
place will have no effect on the
orbital path or speed of the
vehicle.
The nine-hour flight is prob
ably about the limit that can
be attempted with the current
group of Mercury capsules.
Plans are under way for 18-
orbit flights in Project Mercury
approximating the 25-hour
duration of Russian Cosmonaut
Gherman S. TitoV'S flight of
last year. Capsules spaceworthy
for such missions require con-
siderable modification, and this
is being done at the Mcdonnell
Aircraft Co. plant in st. Louis.
Plans Indefinite
Plans we're still indefinite as
to when and where Comdr.
Schirra would return to civiliza-
ton after his mission. 1t ap-
peared likely-if the flight
went four, five or six orbits,
that the recovery force would
take him to Midway Island for
a day or two of debriefing,
after which he quite possibly
would be taken to Hawaii or
one of the large West Coast
cities of the Omitted States for
his official welcome and a news
conference.
It seemed highly unlikely,
on the basis of past Project
Mercury performances, that
the NAB mission would be
launched before mid-Septem-
Der. In every case involving
manned flight. more than three
months has elapsed between
missions.
To carry out a six-orbit
flight, it has been necessary to
modify the Mercury tracking
network, which is strung
around the world between about
80 degrees north and 80 de-
grees south latitude under the
orbital track of the space
capsule. Preparations for this
modification began even before
the Carpenter flight, when a
specially Instrumental Military
Sea Transport Service vessel,
the Rose Knot, was withdrawn
from service as Atlantic Ocean
tracking ship and was sent to
the Pacific.
To Supervise Firing
The Rose Knot probably will
take up station in the Pacific
Ocean between Japan and Mid
way. 1t will supervise the firing
Iof showdown rockets to bring
