    Felt tip pen drawing on paper. View of MA-9 from Road Block 17, 5/14/63. The launch pad for Mercury Atlas 9, also called Faith 7, is seen in the distance from the vantage point of a roadblock. The spacecraft is in the center of the page and is surrounded but other smaller structures, including a round fuel tank on the right. The grounds are detailed with many long texture marks and clouds in the sky are drawn with lighter lines. Writing in the lower left reads: "Gordon Cooper Launch 5/14/63 View of MA-9 from Road Block 17."
