Project Mercury was America's first manned spaceflight program. John Glenn's historic flight occurred on February 20, 1962. His spacecraft, named Friendship 7, completed 3 orbits of the Earth. During the flight a warning light indicated the heat shield required for reentry might be loose. Flight Control advised Glenn to leave on the retro-rocket pack in the rear of the spacecraft with the hopes it would keep the shield secure.
