This 1962 industrial film from the Collins Radio Company describes how Collins Radio technology assists NASA astronauts during manned Mercury missions. The program introduces four vital functions, paying particular attention to how antennas and voice communications work during spacecraft reentry and recovery. Astronaut Wally Schirra, pilot of Mercury-Atlas 8, serves as the film subject.
