Retro Space HD | Mercury-Redstone 3 Cockpit Supercut - Onboard Full Mission - Freedom 7, Alan Shepard, NASA, HD @RetroSpaceHD | Uploaded July 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
The Mercury-Redstone 3 (Freedom 7) full mission, presented from onboard views. The edit is based around 3 cameras: one filming the astronaut Alan Shepard, another the control panel, and another pointing outside the capsule.
When the astronaut mentions instruments readouts or pushes a button, we switch to the panel camera showing that action.
Some external views are shown at liftoff for orientation and dynamic - internal views during ascent don't give any indication of motion.
After capsule separation the outward-facing camera is used. It doesn't show the same angle the pilot was viewing, but the quality is good and gives a good idea of the details he mentions seeing.
An onboard audio recording was used to synchronize the views as best as possible (the frame rate on camera filming the astronaut was extremely irregular). All cameras used low frame rates, therefore motion is not smooth. All sequences are shown at real speed
Footage was remastered for improved color and contrast. Some sequences were AI upscaled using Topaz AI. Audio was cleaned up to remove hums.
Sequences based on lunarmodule5 ( youtube.com/user/lunarmodule5 ) MR-3 in-cabin video.
Research, editing, remaster and upscale by RetroSpace HD.
=========================================
Mercury-Redstone 3, or Freedom 7, was the first United States human spaceflight, on May 5, 1961, piloted by astronaut Alan Shepard. It was the first crewed flight of Project Mercury. The project had the ultimate objective of putting an astronaut into orbit around the Earth and return him safely. Shepard's mission was a 15-minute suborbital flight with the primary objective of demonstrating his ability to withstand the high g-forces of launch and atmospheric re-entry.
