Initial guidelines formulated for the Mercury program are reviewed, together with some of the technical considerations that have influenced the design of the capsule and the operational plan for the booster-capsule vehicle. The role of the astronaut in the Mercury program is discussed, and some observations are made concerning the impact of the Mercury program on future manned space ventures.
