X-15 pilots Scott Crossfield (North American Aviation), Robert White (USAF), and Neil Armstrong (NASA)
Photographed at symbolic handoff of "keys to the X-15", representing delivery of the aircraft by North American and acceptance of it for the flight research program conducted jointly by the Air Force and NASA.
