On February 20th, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. On board
his Friendship 7 spacecraft was a Minolta Hi-matic camera to record that historic event. The 4
hour, 55 minute, and 23 second flight orbited the Earth three times at an average speed of
28,000 kph (17,500 mph).
Mr. Glenn visited our Sakai camera factory in Japan on May 24th,
1963 to plant a palm tree to celebrate the occasion. The palm tree
is still in the courtyard of the factory and stands over eight meters
tall (26ft).
The camera? It was not lost. It is on display at the
Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space
Museum in Washington D.C. This and other objects
from John Glenn’s Friendship 7 Mercury flight can be
found in galley 210, “Apollo to the Moon.”
