3 week after Yuri Gagarin's flight, Shepard's 15-minute suborbital mission took him 116.5 miles above the Earth. Shepard endured 11.6g during reentry, and was recovered by the *USS Lake Champlain*.

You can view NASA's gallery of photos from the flight [here](http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/mercury/mercury_redstone_3/ndxpage1.html).
