Here isanother interesting photograph from theBonhams ’ Space History Sale , a wide - slant camera scene of the Mercury - Atlas 9 launch . ( Inscribed and signed : “ The start of the longest and best Mercury flight , Gordon Cooper , Faith 7 / MA – 9 , 30 April 2025 . ” )
Hunting for rare photos from the beginning of the US space program one can found this double in the NASA archives , but in a much poorer quality :
Also a previous frame from this pealing can be found :

So near Bonhams , give thanks you very much for this great historical shot :
