John H Glenn and crew members, June 1998
John H Glenn and crew members, June 1998. Wearing training versions of the Space Shuttle partial pressure launch and entry suit are (from the left) Scott Parazynski, Glenn, and Stephen Robinson. In October 1998, the STS-95 mission flew from the Kennedy Space Center with the aim of examining the effects of space flight and ageing, for which Glenn was the test subject. During the 3.5 million mile journey, over eighty scientific experiments were carried out to learn more about the human body and how the sun affects life on Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic John H Glenn and his esteemed crew members in June 1998. Dressed in training versions of the Space Shuttle partial pressure launch and entry suit, they stand side by side, ready to embark on a groundbreaking mission. From left to right, we see Scott Parazynski, John H Glenn himself, and Stephen Robinson. The significance of this image lies in the historic STS-95 mission that took place later that year. Launched from Kennedy Space Center, this mission aimed to explore the effects of space flight and aging on the human body. As a test subject for these experiments, John Glenn played a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of how space travel impacts us. During their remarkable 3.5 million-mile journey through space, over eighty scientific experiments were conducted onboard their spacecraft. These experiments sought to unravel mysteries about both human physiology and how solar activity affects life on Earth. This photograph not only immortalizes an important moment in American history but also symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our planet's boundaries. It serves as a reminder of the courage and dedication exhibited by astronauts like John H Glenn, Scott Parazynski, and Stephen Robinson who push the limits of exploration for the betterment of mankind.
