Mercury
Mockup
Air Zoo, Portage, Michigan
When the Smithsonian received this artifact from NASA in 1967, it was the structural framework of a Mercury capsule only, without inner or outer skin or a forward recovery section. NASA had used it for instrumentation and wiring tests. The Michigan Space Center later converted the framework into a mockup of a Mercury capsule mounted atop a Redstone booster. (Ref. NASM Inv. # A19680245000)

This is now stored indoors.
