NASA Mission GEMINI IV Les équipements utilisés par l'astronaute Ed White pour la première sortie dans l'espace américaine. Épreuves d'époque, Numérotation NASA en noir dans la marge supérieure. Légende tapuscrite NASA-MSC au dos: - S-65-27330: Hand-Held Self-Maneuveuring Unit (2 June 65) - S-65-27386: Ventilation Control Module (May 65) - S-35-57040 : Adapter equipment (October 65) Ed White donna la desctiption suivante des équipements utilisés lors de son sortie spatiale historique ("Exploring space with a camera" , Edgar M. Cortright, 1968, p 151): "I had a specially designed spacesuit which had 21 layers of thermal and micrometeoroid protection. My face was protected by a double gold-plated visor which provided protection from the unfiltered rays of the Sun. In my hand I held a small self-maneuvering unit which gave me control of my movements in space. On my chest was an oxygen chestpack that regulated the flow of oxygen to my suit and provided an 8-minute supply of emergency oxygen. I was secured to the spacecraft by a 25-foot umbilical line and a 23-foot tether line, which were secured together and wrapped with a golden tape for thermal insulation. On the top of the Hand-held Self-Maneuvering Unit was mounted a 35mm camera to record the event from outside the spacecraft".

I've exhausted the fuel now and I was able to maneuver myself around the front of the spacecraft, back, and maneuver right up to the top of the adapter. Just about ..... came back into Jim's view.
