Title
White Earth Limb
Full Description
Edward H. White II, pilot of the Gemini 4 spacecraft, floats in the zero gravity
of space with an earth limb backdrop. The extravehicular activity was performed
during the third revolution of the Gemini 4 spacecraft and represents the first
time an American has stepped outside the confines of his spacecraft.
White is attached to the spacecraft by a 25-ft. umbilical line and a 23-ft.
tether line, both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand White
carries a Hand-Held Self-Maneuvering Unit (HHSMU). The visor of his helmet is
gold plated to protect him from the unfiltered rays of the sun.
