The first orbital Mercury flight was Mercury-Atlas 6, using Spacecraft 13. Lt-Col John H Glenn, Jr, USMC, entered orbit on 1962 Feb 20 and landed in the Atlantic a few hours later.
Launch mass was 1935 kg. Orbit mass was 1355 kg; the retropack may have been around 120-150 kg. The deorbit reduced the spacecraft’s velocity by 0.155 km/s.
