Seller's Description
This 1961 goldtone commemerative medal issued by Amvets measures 1 1/16" across and is two-sided. One side depicts the Freedom 7 space capsule, which was launched May 6, 1951 as part of project Mercury, and crewed by Alan B. Shepard, Jr. "The main scientific objective of project Mercury was to determine man's capabilities in a space environment and in those environments to which he will be subject upon going into and returning from space. A few of the basic flight problems included: The development of an automatic escape system, vehicle control during insertion, behavior of space systems, evaluation of pilots capabilities in space, in flight monitoring, retrofire and reentry maneuvers and landing and recovery." (NASA)
The back of the medal has the text for the "Pledge of Allegiance". The front is very good; the back shows some corrosion.
