Title
Navy frogmen swim to spacecraft to begin retrieval
Full Description
A U.S. Navy frogman, deployed from the hovering helicopter, swims
next to the spacecraft and makes contact with Astronaut L. Gordon Cooper
inside, as his fellow team members bring up the floatation gear to be
attached to the spacecraft. The main chute floats at top left, and the
ejected reserve chute floats at the lower right of the spacecraft in the
green dye area.
