David Scott (Apollo 9)
The first spaceflight of the Lunar Module: LM Spider floating upside down above Earth, 3-13 March 1969 Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1969, numbered "NASA AS9-21-3212" (NASA MSC) in red in top margin, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 20.3 x 25.4 cm
Photographed upside down against the black sky of space by David Scott from the Command Module Gumdrop, Spider, piloted by Russell Schweickart and James McDivitt, is seen in lunar landing configuration with its landing gear deployed and surface sensors extending from the footpads. The LM hatch and ladder are well visible. Clouds over Sahara and the Atlantic Ocean lie 145 miles below.
Spider was built of wafer-thin metal: the “ugly bug” as it was often called was so frail that its flanks would crumple if subjected to flight in Earth’s lower atmosphere. (Mason, p. 152)
It was the first time astronauts were flying in a spacecraft not designed to reenter the Earth’s atmosphere; consequently redocking with the CSM Gumdrop was essential.
