"On May 15-16, 1963, he piloted the "Faith 7" spacecraft on a 22-orbit mission which concluded the operational phase of Project Mercury.
Cooper served as command pilot of the 8-day 120-revolution Gemini 5 mission which began on August 21, 1965. It was on this flight that he and pilot Charles Conrad established a new space endurance record by traveling a distance of 3,312,993 miles in an elapsed time of 190 hours and 56 minutes. He served as backup command pilot for Gemini 12 and as backup commander for Apollo X. He retired from the Air Force and NASA in 1970." excerpted from NASA biography http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios...
