• Mercury-Atlas 9 was the final manned space mission of the U.S. Mercury program, launched on May 15, 1963 from Launch Complex 14 at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
• The spacecraft completed 22 Earth orbits before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean, piloted by astronaut Gordon Cooper, then an Air Force major.
• The Atlas rocket was No. 130-D, and the Mercury spacecraft was No. 20.
• This mission marks the last time an American was launched alone to conduct an entirely solo orbital mission.

10.Apollo Command Module

• This photo shows Apollo Command Module, which was a truncated cone (frustum) 10 feet 7 inches (3.23 m) tall with a diameter of 12 feet 10 inches (3.91 m) across the base.
• The forward compartment contained two reaction control engines, the docking tunnel, and the components of the Earth Landing System.
• The inner pressure vessel housed the crew accommodations, equipment bays, controls and displays, and many spacecraft systems.
• The last section, the aft compartment, contained 10 reaction control engines and their related propellant tanks, fresh water tanks, and the CSM umbilical cables.

13. Apollo Docking Mechanism

• This photo shows the docking system of the Apollo Module.
• The docking sysytem, which was a "probe and drogue" system, allowed the Apollo Command/Service Module to dock with the Apollo Lunar Module.
• And then it allowed the ASTP CSM to dock with the Docking Module (an adapter which allowed to dock with the Soyuz 19 spacecraft) and Skylab 2, Skylab 3 and Skylab 4 CSMs to dock with Skylab.

14.Astronauts in Moon Activity

• This photo shows two astronauts undergoing geological investigation on the moon surface.

15.Lunar Roving Vehicle

• This photo shows the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) or lunar rover, which is a battery-powered four-wheeled rover used on the Moon in the last three missions of the American Apollo program (15, 16, and 17) during 1971 and 1972.
• It was popularly known as "Moon buggy", a play on the words "dune buggy".
• The LRV was transported to the Moon on the Apollo Lunar Module (LM) and, once unpacked on the surface, could carry one or two astronauts, their equipment, and lunar samples. The three LRVs remain on the Moon.

16.Entrance of Lunar Samples Vault

• This photo shows Entrance of Lunar Samples Vault, where you are now touching a piece of the cosmos that is 3.8 billion years old.
• The Lunar Samples Vault, which is in Starship Gallery at Space Center Houston, is a certified clean room.
• The equipment seen in the room is the same equipment used in Lunar Sample Laboratory Facility.
• In the Lunar Vault, you can gaze at actual moon rocks, kept in a pure nitrogen environment as they are kept at NASA to preserve them.
• This is the largest display of moon rocks on public display in the world.
• You can check out a cross-section of a lunar sample under a microscope and see the devices that go into studying these fascinating bits of the moon.

17. Moon Rock

• This photo shows the Moon Rock, that was brought back to Earth by the Apollo 17 crew in December 1972.
• Astronauts Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan obtained the sample in the Valley of Taurus-Littrow, an area comparable to the Grand Canyon in scale and grandeur, located on the edge of the Sea of Serenity in the upper right quadrant of the Moon as viewed from Earth.
• In a geologic sense, this Moon rock is a basalt, formed by the cooling of molten lava ages ago.
• But in a larger sense, it is a touchstone symbolizing both our past and our future on the space frontier.
• It is a priceless artifact from one of history's greatest voyages of exploration, and a reminder that one day in the years to come, humans will return to the Moon to establish a permanent base where they will live, work, explore and gain new knowledge for the people of Earth.

18.Apollo-Soyuz Test Project

• This photo shows 1:25 scale model, represents the Apollo command module and the Soyuz spacecraft as they would have appeared after docking.
• The Apollo command module was launched on July 15, 1975, seven hours after the Soyuz 19 was launched in the USSR, and then maneuvered to rendezvous and dock 52 hours after the Soyuz launch.
• Once docked, Apollo and Soyuz crews conducted a variety of experiments over a two-day period.
• After separation, Apollo remained in space an additional 6 days.
• Soyuz returned to Earth approximately 43 hours after separation.
• The Apollo capsule splashed down on July 24, 1975.

19. Space Shuttle Endeavour

• This photo shows Space Shuttle Endeavour, which is a retired orbiter from NASA's Space Shuttle program and the fifth and final operational shuttle built.
• Structural spares built during the construction of Discovery and Atlantis were used in its assembly.
• NASA chose, on cost grounds, to build Endeavour from spares rather than refitting Enterprise or accepting a Rockwell International proposal to build two shuttles for the price of one.
• The United States Congress approved the construction of Endeavour in 1987 to replace Challenger, which was lost in 1986.
• It embarked on its first mission, STS-49, in May 1992 and its 25th and final mission, STS-134, in May 2011.
• STS-134 was expected to be the final mission of the Space Shuttle program, but with the authorization of STS-135, Atlantis became the last shuttle to fly.

20.ISS

• This photo shows a mockup of the International Space Station (ISS).
• The ISS is serving as a state of art laboratory in microgravity.
• Research conducted onboard allows humans to live and work in space for long periods of time and assist in the development of cutting edge technologies for use in Space and on Earth.
• The million-pound ISS is as long as a football field.
