50 years ago, Wally Schirra became the fifth American in space, making the third of four orbital flights of the Mercury program. Schirra piloted the Sigma 7 (“Σ7″) capsule on a six-orbit flight that lasted more than nine hours on Oct. 3, 1962. To mark the anniversary, Retro Space Images has selected photos from its recently released collection of Mercury-Atlas 8 imagery to recall the flight of Wally Schirra aboard Sigma 7 half a century later.
