Description

This 1968 poster "Man in Space" provides a detailed depiction of an astronaut's journey to space and back. It shows the sequence of a space mission, starting from the lift-off of the Atlas rocket carrying the manned capsule, progressing through various phases such as the jettisoning of the escape rockets and the re-entry module, to the final splashdown where the capsule is retrieved by a ship.

Highlighted features on the poster include:

  • The main section of the Atlas rocket and the manned capsule as they ascend to a 100-mile altitude.
  • The escape rockets being released at a certain height above Earth.
  • The capsule's re-entry process, where it turns around to allow the heat shield to absorb the intense frictional heat of re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.
  • A detailed cutaway illustration of the space capsule, showing an astronaut seated inside with controls, life support systems, and navigation equipment labeled clearly.
  • The parachute deployment at 10,000 feet to slow the capsule for a safe ocean landing.

The poster serves as an informative piece, illustrating the technical aspects of a space mission during an era of intense interest and competition in space exploration.
