The Spacewalk Mystery set was a carry over from 1069’s Adventures of GI Joe line.  In fact, the box reads”Adventures of GI Joe Astronaut” but nowhere on the box does it say Adventure Team.  This was common with the first batch of sets released in 1970.  This was Hasbro’s third and final release of the space capsule in the vintage era and the hardest to find boxed and in good condition
