A number of papers have been given previously, both to the IAS and other scientific organizations, which deal with the operational planning for Project Mercury. This paper deals with the operational experience gained from the development of facilities to perform real-time flight control and the experience gained from using these facilities. The discussion of this experience is primarily limited to the Mercury-Atlas orbital flights leading up to and including the flight of Astronaut John H. Glenn, Jr. In addition, the over-all recovery operation is discussed.
