Presentation transcript:

Scott Carpenter was one of the original seven astronauts selected in 1959 for Project Mercury, NASA’s entry into the space race. Carpenter was the second American to orbit the Earth and the fourth American in space.

Scott grew up in Boulder, CO and graduated from Boulder High School in Upon graduating he joined the U.S. Navy beginning a 20 year naval career.

He had three distinct periods of naval service each associated with a war: World War II, the Korean conflict, and the Cold War. It was in between these periods of service that he returned to Boulder to study aeronautical engineering at the University of Colorado.

During his third period of naval service he was chosen for Project Mercury, U.S.’s first human spaceflight program in 1959.

On May 24, 1962, Scott Carpenter lifted off onboard the spacecraft he dubbed Aurora 7 sitting atop the Mercury-Atlas 7 rocket. His spacecraft achieved a maximum altitude of 164 miles and an orbital velocity of 17,532 miles per hour.

His primary goal during the three-orbit mission was to determine whether an astronaut could work in space, a major stepping stone toward a lunar landing. He landed in the ocean after a flight of 4 hours, 53 minutes, and 47 seconds.

Scott Carpenter left NASA in 1967 and worked with the Navy on Sealab II. This project was responsible for developing deep-ocean research, rescue, salvage, and ocean engineering capabilities.

Scott Carpenter has the unique distinction of being the first person ever to penetrate both inner and outer space. He participated as an aquanaut in an experiment living and working on the ocean floor for 30 days in Sealab II at a depth of 200 feet.

Carpenter retired from the Navy in 1969 and founded Sea Sciences, Inc., a corporation active in developing programs aimed at enhanced utilization of ocean resources and improved health of the oceans. He has dived most of the world’s oceans including the Arctic under ice.

Scott Carpenter has written two novels (underwater techno- thrillers) called “The Steel Albatross” and “Deep Flight”. He also wrote his memoir “For Spacious Skies” which he co-authored with his daughter Kris Stoever.

Scott Carpenter was inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame on May 11, He currently resides in Vail, CO.

To recognize the astronauts of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions, these Ambassadors of Exploration were awarded a moon rock in a special ceremony at the National Air and Space Museum. Carpenter’s moon rock will be on permanent loan to the Museum of Nature & Science in Denver, CO. This is the large moon rock from which Carpenter’s piece is taken. It is shown in the Lunar Receiving Laboratory in Houston.

The rock is part of a sample returned by the crew of the Apollo 17 mission from the Moon. Apollo 17 mission was the sixth and final lunar landing in December The rock was collected from the area just to the right of the Lunar Rover in this image.

Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan (front) and Harrison Schmitt (back right) walked on the Moon while Ronald Evans (back left) orbited in the command module.

The basic objective of the Apollo 17 mission was to sample basin-rim highland material and adjacent mare material and investigate the geological evolutionary relationship between them.

The Apollo 17 lunar module landed on the Taurus-Littrow Valley floor amongst several large craters pounds of rock were taken from the Moon during three moonwalks during this mission.
