Description
English: Photograph of the coast of Morocco from Mercury-Atlas 4 (MA-4), an unmanned Mercury spacecraft which was the first Project Mercury flight to orbit the Earth. The view, seen through one of the spacecraft's two circular portholes, extends from Tan-Tan at the left edge toward the Strait of Gibraltar on the horizon near the center of the photo. The Atlantic Ocean appears in the top left, and solid cloud cover hangs close to the coast near Tan-Tan. This was one of 360 color 70 mm photos taken by the spacecraft's earth/sky camera during MA-4's single orbit, which had a maximum altitude of 158.6 miles (255.2 km) and a speed of 17,519 miles per hour (28,194 km/h).
