Name Firm Address— City Camera Eye THE EDITORIAL VIEWPOINT "Mastery of Space," Official Film of Glenn Orbital Flight, Relea.ied for 16»ihi Showings The National .-Xeronautics and Space Adniinistrations official film of America's manned space flight project. The Mastery of Space, is now in wide-scale distribution through all offices of Association Films. Inc. The hour-long film contains footage never seen before of Astronaut John Glenn's orbital flight. It shows the Astronauts' training program, scenes inside a spacecraft during flight, wind-tunnel tests to determine the shape of the Mercury capsule, highlights of Alan Shepard's Freedom 7 flight and views of the earth from various distances. Filmed sequences explain weightlessness and animation depicts orbiting and re-entry of a spacecraft. The picture was lensed at Cape Canaveral, the Marshall Space Flight Center at Huntsville, Alabama, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt Maryland, and at tracking stations throughout the world where contact with Glenn and his Friendship 7 capsule was maintained during his triple-orbit. The Mastery of Space explains that the NASA Project Mercury program is but another step in man's unrelenting urge to probe the mysteries of the earth, sea. air and space beyond. Special footage taken through a periscope mounted in a Mercury capsule shows the curvature of the earth at a distance of 100 miles, land masses and oceans as they appear on maps, and the sun "reflected like a gold coin on the sea." Actual footage taken inside the Mercury spacecraft shows Astronaut Glenn experiencing weightlessness, maintaining voice contact with Mercury Control at Cape Canaveral and tracking stations, and controlling the attitude of the spacecraft manually. Dramatic sequences recreate Glenn's historic flight, his entry into the capsule, the countdown, launch and ascent, his recovery, and the lowering of the spacecraft on to the carrier deck where Glenn receives President Kennedy's telephoned congratulations. Brief scenes Astronaut John Glenn is photographed in space by automatic sequence motion picture camera. of Glenn's triumphal parade in Washington bring the film to a close. The grueling and exacting training program demonstratC'S how each Astronaut is prepared for almost any eventuality, including misfiring of the launch vehicle, erratic behavior of the spacecraft, and other unexpected conditions. The Astronauts' reactions are shown in centrifuge rides, mock-up models of spacecraft, orbital flight simulators and a particularly demonic device known as MASTIF. designed to throw the Astronaut violently into any attitude, conventional or otherwise, duplicating the worst possible conditions in a spacecraft. The Mastery of Space concludes with a projection into the future and the projects that will take man to the moon. ^ Here Are Seminar Program Details for the "Ninth Day of Visuals" Coming June 4-5th ■ Details of the two-day seminar programs planned for the "Ninth Day of Visuals", sponsored by the National Visual Presentation Association, have been released.
