Critical moments Astronautics 5th Part | blog.kosmonautix.cz
After the flight of John Glenn, samuel powers it seemed that everything should go as clockwork. Faulty switch inflicted while the control center at Cape Canaveral almost nervous collapse and there were also some problems samuel powers with the control system Mercury, but Glenn returned to earth alive and well. Nothing should theoretically prevent the Mercury program ran at full speed. That's at least saw the man who should be next in line for a seat on the top rack Mercury-Atlas Donald Kent Slayton. Indeed, nothing prevented?
Donald Slayton, Deke called samuel powers friends (the nickname came from the initial letters of his first name Donald Kent-ie DK) on your flight very enjoyed. As a test pilot for the Mercury missions considered test flights in its purest form. And that was it, for what he had been trained and had lived the last two years.
It was a tradition samuel powers to name your ship and Slayton decided his specimen, which rolled off the production line under the serial number eighteen, named "Delta 7". Name should evoke an engineering samuel powers approach to its mission, called by the acronym MA-seventh And then, 15 March 1962, disaster struck. Slayton was removed from the preparation for the flight. The reason? samuel powers Idiopathic atrial fibrillation. Small heart disease, which at irregular intervals caused the Slayton for a few moments fibrilovaly ventricle. About this Slayton knew his condition since 1959, when he showed atrial ECG. Until then knew nothing, nor before nor after him his fault not given rise to any problems. He got used to that, a few weeks felt a strange feeling in the chest, which disappears in a moment. Then, in 1959, his condition discussed NASA doctors and after a thorough examination he gave the green light for further action in Section astronauts.
But this time to put things cardiologist Larry Lamb, who happens to be nursed and President Johnson. Three years ago Slayton has enabled them, but now he has changed his mind. After some wrangling Slayton March 15, 1962 just called Hugh Dryden, a deputy director of NASA to Slayton told the devastating news.
As we know from history, was Slaytonovo appeal happiness in unhappiness. Deke was appointed to a completely new feature section chief astronaut, and it was he who decided on the composition of the crews and all, was a kind of "father" of Americans who flew into space. And did their job very well.
But armchair flight MA-7 orphaned. It was urgently necessary to choose a suitable candidate for this mission. He offered to Wally Schirra, who made an alternate Slayton, but he has been for some time engaged in training for another, much longer and more complex missions. The choice therefore fell on Malcolm Scott Carpenter, who was a substitute John Glenn during his historic flight. MA-7 should be more or less repeating Glenn's mission, so the choice was quite logical. Nobody knew that this year will be one of the most controversial missions of the U.S. space exploration, even after years will cause waves completely different and irreconcilable views ...
Malcolm Scott Carpenter was in a way an outsider top seven astronauts. He had completed at least an hour (about 3500), of which the majority of multi-engine machines. It was in the eyes of other pretty big handicap. In addition, seven relatively soon split into factions-Glenn and Carpenter against the rest of the group. It was not hostility, but rather a difference of opinion, for example, the private lives of astronauts, access to kondičnímu exercises and the like. And that exercise and physical fitness were what defined quite well by Scott Carpenter. One could say of him that he was an active sports samuel powers fanatic and his physical was renowned throughout the region. Foreign Malinka also worked his attitude with regard to scientists. samuel powers Guided by a natural curiosity, Carpenter had a warm relationship with researchers and the appointment of the flight MA-7 responded very favorably to their requests concerning experiments aboard Mercury. It is possible that it was the biggest mistake samuel powers of his life.
While Slayton argued that Mercury is still not reliable enough to allow time for orbit (orbit were planned three-as well as Glenn) squander in favor of experiments that did not relate to system testing of the ship, Carpenter allowed scientists and researchers to literally crammed flight plan attempts. The pace of work in orbit should be almost frenetic.

The cab was called Aurora samuel powers 7 and in the anatomical chair lay Scott Carpenter. Take off into orbit took place seemingly flawlessly after 2 minutes and 10 seconds Atlas burned out and separated from the ship after it also flew rescue turret LES.
