ma09_v_bw_o_n (S-63-7730)
“A U.S. Navy frogman, deployed from the hovering helicopter, swims next to the spacecraft and makes contact with Astronaut Cooper inside, as his fellow team members bring up the flotation gear to be attached to the spacecraft. The main chute floats at top left, and the ejected unused reserve chute floats at the lower right of the spacecraft in the green dye area.”
The faded/eroded (due to re-entry effects) 'Faith 7' logo can be seen on the capsule just above the waterline.
Looking at this, I can't help but think how many cool UDT recovery photos have never seen/will never see the light of day.
