    Description

    Leroy Gordon Cooper, Jr. (1927-2004), selected by NASA as an original Mercury astronaut in April 1959, piloted the Faith 7 spacecraft.
    On May 15–16, 1963, he circled Earth 22 times in the space capsule Faith 7, completing the sixth and last of the Mercury crewed spaceflights. At the end of his 34-hour 20-minute flight, when the automatic control system had broken down, he piloted his craft back to Earth manually and landed just 4 miles (6 km) from the primary recovery ship. In August 1965 he served as command pilot of Gemini 5 on an eight-day endurance mission, becoming the first person to make two orbital flights. Cooper later served as back up command pilot for Gemini 12 and back up Commander for Apollo 10 until retiring from NASA and the Air Force in 1970 to start a private consulting firm.
