In orbit above the Gulf of Mexico in June 1965, NASA Gemini 4 American Astronaut Ed White is the first to spacewalk (tethered by a 25 foot cord) outside the spacecraft.
This is a 11" x 14" vintage chromogenic print on fiber paper, taken by NASA Astronaut James McDivitt during the Gemini 4 moon mission, with the "A Kodak Paper" watermarks on verso.
Provenance: Private Collector
The value of vintage NASA photographs from the historic space missions, beginning in the 1960s, is increasing as the scientific community moves forward with innovations to explore distant
galaxies, such as the development of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
The Webb Telescope Is the latest milestone for NASA and space exploration. The deployment of JWST in space on Dec 25, 2021 from French Guyana allows a team of international researchers, using the telescope’s revolutionary hexagonal segments, mirrors, and infrared camera, to survey and study the stars, star clusters, and dust from the beginning of time, the early stages of the universe, at the rocket’s destination Lagrange Point 2 (L2), 1.5 million kilometers from earth. On Jan 24, 2022 JWST arrived and parked itself at L2.
