Good question. We know Grissom's is at the Florida location. Glenn's is in the Smithsonian in DC. Sheppard's is/was on display in Houston. One of the 7 didn't make a Mercury flight. Schirra's is in San Diego. That leaves 2 still unaccounted for

"On display at Space Center Houston are many artifacts from Glenn's own collection, such as the NASA flight suit he wore while an astronaut from 1959 to 1965 and the ID badge with "Mercury Astronaut" typed onto it like a crude early driver's license.

All that's missing is the actual spacesuit Glenn wore while flying America's first manned orbital mission aboard Friendship 7 Feb. 20, 1962. That suit is in the National Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

However, an almost identical silvery spacesuit worn by the late Alan Shepard on his suborbital Mercury flight -- America's first manned mission -- is shown with Glenn's artifacts. Shepard's suit is part of Space Center Houston's permanent collection. "

Deke Slaton from my home state of Wisconsin was grounded due to a heart murmur. He had a long and distiguished career and finally made it to space on the shuttle, I believe.

That leaves 2 still unaccounted for.

There's one at the Virgil *Gus* Grissom Memorial Museum at Spring Mill state Park in Indiana, near Grissom's Mitchell, Indiana boyhood home. The actual Gemini III space capsule is also on display at the modest but impressive Hoosier tribute.

I believe the Pima Air Museum in Arizona has the other Mercury astronaut suit.

In your last posting, you mentioned the space suits of Al Sheppard, Gus Grissom, John Glenn, and Wally Schirra.

The three others were Deke Slayton (who got grounded), Malcolm Scott Carpenter, and Gordon Cooper.

Someone would have to locate Gordo's and Scott Carpenter's stuff.

Deke Slayton made his only spaceflight on the Apollo-Soyuz mission in 1975.
