Mercury-Redstone 3 Cockpit Supercut - Onboard Full Mission - Freedom 7, Alan Shepard, NASA, HD

- 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 ( / 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.

Outstanding!!! The switching between camera views synced to the audio was incredible. The remastered footage didn’t hurt. This was totally incredible! GREAT job! 🙌🙌👏🏻👏🏻
Way cool! On top of a periscope the Mercury capsule also could drop a small explosive into the water so ships could pick it up on they're sonar to help locate them.Betcha didn't know that one.
I did not know this. Now I have to look it up
I just eat this stuff up. It's wonderfully geeky while being so historic. Thank you, Retro Space!
I first started reading about this stuff in 1986 when I was barely into my teens. It's so nice to have what I've read all these years supplemented with actual film. Channels like yours are space geek heaven!!!
Great stuff. I'm also impressed at how accurately the series 'From The Earth To The Moon' dramatized this mission in their first episode.
Just 15 minutes from launch to splashdown! At first, it was planned for all seven Mercury astronauts to make suborbital Redstone flight before moving into the Mercury-Atlas missions. Of course, circumstances intervened that changed those plans.
Great work Retro Space - I always enjoy your channel!
Excellent work! I've never seen the instrument panel camera view. Combined with the "head shot" of Shepard and the very good cockpit audio, it makes for an exciting video. Thanks!
Search for the original panel video on lunarmodule5 channel: ruclips.net/user/lunarmodule5
Wow! This is fantastic! This is where we get all the stuff we take we take for granted today when we go into space. These guys were truly the "steely-eyed missile men."
Thanks!
Thank you!
great work!
Retro Space is the best Space.
Amazing job! Where do you source the raw footage for these? Is it available in lossless? Not sure if it's RUclips but there's a bit of blockiness/compression artifacts on some of these videos, I would hope NASA/archive would have super high res film scans of these somewhere! Not a criticism of your work, just curious
Almost to 10k!!!
What a proud day for America.
There were some changes made to the capsule after this flight involving windows and a few changes on the control panel.
Where do you get the cockpit footage i see it online but i want to find a raw unedited version
Alen Shepard the 1st astronaut.
Unreal. 63 years ago...
First? No way! Great video!
😆😂🤣🤣🤣 👍 This is best!
did the control panel look different in older capsules?
