Shepard, Alan Alan B. Shepard Jr. (1923-1998) piloted America's first manned space mission. This astronaut briefly flew into space on on May 5, 1961, in Freedom 7, a Mercury space capsule. The capsule splashed down at sea, and was retrieved by helicopter. Accompanied by Edgar D. Mitchell and Stuart A. Roosa, Shepard piloted Apollo XIV to the moon. They took off on January 31, 1971. Shepard and Mitchell landed on the moon in the lunar module (landing near the Frau Mauro Crater) on February 5, 1971, while Roosa orbited the moon in the command module. Shepard hit golf balls on the moon during this historic trip.

A few of the basic flight problems included: The development of an automatic escape system, vehicle control during insertion, behavior of space systems, evaluation of pilots capabilities in space, in flight monitoring, retrofire and reentry maneuvers and landing and recovery. The name "Freedom Seven" was Alan Shepard's choice. "Freedom" because it was patriotic and "Seven" because it was the seventh Mercury capsule produced. It also represented the seven Mercury astronauts. To help relieve any tension Shepard might have built up before his flight, Glenn pasted a little sign on the spacecraft instrument panel, reading "No handball playing here." This bit of levity hearkened back to their training days. At T-15 minutes it was necessary to hold the count again to make a final check of the real-time trajectory computer. A small electrical part had a problem and this resulted in an hour and twenty six minute delay. Shepard was on top of the Redstone for so long now that he had to urinate. "Gordo!" he said, talking to Gordon Cooper, a fellow Mercury Seven astronaut and principal prelaunch communicator. "Go, Alan." "Man, I got to pee." "You what?" "You heard me. I've got to pee. I've been up here forever."

He had suffered from leukemia. Shepard died at Community Hospital near Monterey, California , said Howard Benedict, executive director of the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation in Titusville, Florida, who had talked to Shepard's wife. After his historic space flight in 1961, amid a period of Cold War hate and uncertainty, Shepard re-invigorated the American psyche with his portrayal of the unflappable, can-do techno-warrior.

On May 5, 1961, he became the first American in space, riding the tiny Freedom 7 capsule to an altitude of 185 km (115 mi) during a 15-minute suborbital flight.

Back to Main News Summaries Daily News Quiz Word of the Day ... Job Opportunities July 23, 1998 OBITUARY Alan B. Shepard Jr. Is Dead at 74; First American to Travel in Space By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD lan B. Shepard Jr., the first American to fly in space, lifting national spirits at a decisive moment of cold war anxiety, and later one of only 12 astronauts to walk on the Moon, died late Tuesday night at a hospital in Monterey, Calif. He was 74 and lived in Houston and Pebble Beach, Calif. The family would not disclose the cause of death, saying only that it came after a long illness. But another former astronaut, Senator John Glenn of Ohio, said Mr. Shepard had been suffering from leukemia. On the morning of May 5, 1961, Mr. Shepard became an immediate American hero. A lean, crew-cut former Navy test pilot, then 37, he began the day lying on his back in a cramped Mercury capsule atop a seven-story Redstone rocket filled with explosive fuel. After four tense hours of weather and mechanical delays, he was shot into the sky on a 15-minute flight that grazed the fringes of space, at an altitude of 115 miles, and ended in a splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean 302 miles downrange from Cape Canaveral, Fla. Though not much by today's standards, the brief suborbital flight had stopped a whole country in its tracks, waiting anxiously at radios and television sets. When the message of success came through with a phrase that would enter the idiom, ''Everything is A-O.K.!'' everyone seemed to let out a collective sigh of relief.

ALAN SHEPARD Astronaut A former Navy test pilot, Shepard was one of the original seven astronauts chosen by NASA for its Mercury program. He became the first American in space on 5 May 1961, when he went aloft in the Freedom 7 capsule for a 15-minute sub-orbital flight. ( John Glenn later became the first American to circle the entire globe in space; earlier Ham the Chimp had been the first American primate in space.) The flight made Shepard a national hero. He was disqualified from early moon missions due to an inner ear disorder, but he persisted and was given command of Apollo 14. In 1971 Shepard and fellow astronaut Edgar Mitchell landed on the moon, becoming the fifth and sixth men to walk there. While on the moon, Shepard playfully pulled out a golf ball and whacked it across the lunar surface. He retired from the space program in 1974, also retiring from the Navy with the rank of rear admiral.

Shepard later appended his estimate to drive distances in the 200 to 400 yard range. Still, not bad with one hand and encumbered by a suit that prevented a good pivot on the swing.

In the predawn darkness, a 59-foot- (18-meter-) tall Redstone missile stood in the glare of floodlights. Vapor spewed from the rocket's side as its tanks were pressurized with fuel and supercold liquid oxygen. Not far away, in a trailer that served as a suiting-up room, Alan Shepard prepared to ride that rocket. When he emerged, clad in a silvery spacesuit and carrying a portable ventilator, he paused to look up at the gleaming rocket. Minutes later, he was squeezing into the tiny cabin of his Mercury spacecraft, which he had christened Freedom 7. Lying on his back in a formfitting couch, Shepard watched as technicians sealed the spacecraft's side hatch. "Okay, buster," he told himself, "you volunteered for this thing." Read on ...

SEARCH: advertisement Alan Shepard: The First American Astronaut (cont.) Those words, the stuff of folklore, symbolize the courage that Alan Shepard brought to this extraordinary test flight. In 1961 the idea of a human riding a rocket into space still seemed like science fiction to some, and downright foolhardy to others. After all, American rockets had a nasty habit of blowing up. And even if the Redstone functioned perfectly, there were credible experts who forecasted that Shepard's body might not withstand the rigors of the launch and reentry into the atmosphere. Some psychologists claimed that when Shepard was exposed to weightlessness he might experience a "breakoff phenomenon," a kind of psychological dislocation from Earth. Shepard was confident that these dire predictions would not come true; he only wanted a chance to prove it. And if he had a reputation for self confidence that spilled over into arrogance, Shepard also had the goods to back it up.

For 142 seconds Shepard endured mounting acceleration that built to more than six times the force of normal gravity. Ten seconds later, Freedom 7 separated and continued coasting upward, until it peaked at an altitude of more than 116 miles (187 kilometers). From that height, looking through the craft's onboard periscope, Shepard could see the entire state of Florida and the Bahamas, in one gulp. For five minutes he was weightless, though he was so tightly strapped in that his only indication was a washer that floated in front of his helmet. Later, he would describe the sensation as "painless, just a pleasant ride."

Born November 18, 1923, in East Derry, New Hampshire, he was raised on a farm, attended a one room schoolhouse and learned to fly. He attended the U.S. Naval Academy and served in the Pacific during World War II. After the war, he became a Navy test pilot. One of the original Mercury Seven astronauts, he was the first American in space. His 15 minute suborbital flight took place May 5, 1961.
