This plastic covered capsule carried Scott Carpenter. Photography is difficult because of the covering. It is tipped on it's side to expose the heat-shield, which is cut in half to reveal layeres of insulation and electronics. The hatch-opening is also covered with plastic. I looked for the Aurora 7 emblem which was painted under the window (on top) but was unable to see anything.
