Nasa. On this photograph appear the main American astronauts suits elaborated since the beginning of the American space program until the Apollo 11 mission. On the left, astronaut Walter Schirra in the MERCURY program suit, in the center, astronaut John YOUNG in the GEMINI program suit and on the right, astronaut Neil ARMSTRONG in the Apollo 11 autonomous suit equipped with a life support system on the back. We can measure here the fantastic progress made in less than 10 years by America, which went from a simple improved fighter pilot suit for the MERCURY flights to an autonomous suit allowing a man to walk on the Moon a few years later. 1969. vintage silver print. Press release photograph with caption on the front. 17,6 x 25,6cm.
