Gordon Cooper's blueprints of the Mercury Spac

Gordon Cooper's blueprints of the Mercury Spacecraft and Escape Tower. Two sheets, the first illustrates center of gravity points of the spacecraft with a graph that plots the projected path of the separation distance between the escape tower and spacecraft. The graph is based on altitude and down range distances during the launch profile. The second sheet has a more refined plot of the projected paths from sheet 1. Each approximately 11x17 inches with one fold.

Each sheet is inscribed and signed: "From my notebook, Gordon Cooper, Faith 7."
