Mercury Capsule 15B "Freedom 7 II"
Alan Shepherd was supposed to fly this capsule at the tail end of the Mercury program but NASA had already accomplished its objectives and cancelled his flight to press on with the Gemini program. Consequently, this is the only Mercury capsule that still sports the retrorocket package on its backside and the parachute package on its nose.
