The capsule includes life support for 28 hours and a 11 inch by seven inch window with a 360 degree periscope. A rescue system and buoyant raft are aboard, with safety devices and heat shield to endure reentry. Glenn aims for a 90 minute mission with three orbits and splashdown near recovery ships.
