Carpenter Trip Into Orbit Now Set for Tuesday
The Aurora 7 mission for Navy Lt. Cmdr. Malcolm Scott Carpenter is delayed three days to next Tuesday to fix the parachute system. The postponement follows a review addressing why the stabilizing parachute deployed at 27,000 feet on Glenns flight and how to ensure reliable deployment with a backup switch. A Nairobi plane crash that killed 13 Air Force personnel supporting recovery operations for Carpenter added to the setback.
