Final planned flight of four one-day duration Mercury capsules manufactured. The mission was to have taken place by the end of 1963. This flight was scheduled until mid-1962, when it was quietly removed from the schedules. Delays in Mercury and budget problems resulted in NASA management's decision to stop further planning for the last two one-day flights and move on to Gemini as quickly as possible.
