00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:30,720
a s 201 the Saturn 1b program moved from

8
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:32,399
a year of intensive launch vehicle

00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:36,690
ground testing to flight testing in

10
00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:38,760
early January the launch escape system

11
00:00:44,569 --> 00:00:42,239
for a s 201 was erected atop the Apollo

12
00:00:47,959 --> 00:00:44,579

16
00:00:59,150 --> 00:00:57,449
as planned concurrently Marshalls

17
00:01:01,760 --> 00:00:59,160
contractors were completing the final

18
00:01:04,219 --> 00:01:01,770
phases of qualification testing of the

19
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:04,229
flight components in some instances

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:06,510
Marshall granted component qualification

21
00:01:13,850 --> 00:01:09,810
waivers for SI 201 based on previous

22
00:01:16,219 --> 00:01:13,860
thorough testing during early February

23
00:01:17,929 --> 00:01:16,229
several technical meetings were held to

24
00:01:20,570 --> 00:01:17,939
evaluate the data from the various

25
00:01:22,999 --> 00:01:20,580
pre-launch tests including the space

26
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:23,009
vehicle countdown demonstration test and

27
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:26,850
the flight readiness test following two

28
00:01:31,490 --> 00:01:29,040
postponements caused by unfavorable

29
00:01:34,039 --> 00:01:31,500
weather final launch preparations were

30
00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:34,049
begun this final countdown was

31
00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:36,479
interrupted by two launch vehicle holds

32
00:01:47,260 --> 00:01:39,000
both because of low pressure in the

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:50,480
liftoff of the unmanned vehicle occurred

34
00:01:55,630 --> 00:01:54,210
on February 26th at 11:12 a.m. Eastern

35
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Standard Time

36
00:02:00,620 --> 00:01:58,770
this liftoff marked the first use of a

37
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:00,630
new flight testing procedure for the

38
00:02:06,139 --> 00:02:04,110
Saturn program the all-up concept where

39
00:02:08,779 --> 00:02:06,149
all stages and modules of the first

40
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:08,789
flight vehicle are live or functioning

41
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:12,930
units the Chrysler built and the eight

42
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:13,920
Rocketdyne

43
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:16,080
h-1 engines performed well within

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:19,110
tolerances the pressure of the gaseous

45
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:21,810
nitrogen control pressure sphere was as

46
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:26,910
planned during flight at t-plus 141

47
00:02:32,090 --> 00:02:29,610
seconds the for inboard engines cut-off

48
00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:32,100
followed six seconds later by the

49
00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:37,489
outboard engines within a few seconds

50
00:02:42,140 --> 00:02:39,840
successful stage separation had been

51
00:02:44,750 --> 00:02:42,150
achieved and the second stage engine

52
00:02:47,449 --> 00:02:44,760
ignited as shown by a camera mounted in

53
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:47,459
the first stage separation disturbances

54
00:02:52,850 --> 00:02:49,440
were quite small with the first stage

55
00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:52,860
being very stable the Douglas built

56
00:02:57,590 --> 00:02:55,049
second stages overall performance was

57
00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:57,600
excellent this was the first flight test

58
00:03:02,780 --> 00:03:00,480
of the stage and it's j2 engine the

59
00:03:04,970 --> 00:03:02,790
engine built by Rocketdyne is the most

60
00:03:08,870 --> 00:03:04,980
powerful liquid hydrogen engine being

61
00:03:10,850 --> 00:03:08,880
manufactured after about 20 seconds of

62
00:03:13,580 --> 00:03:10,860
second stage burning the launch escape

63
00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:13,590
tower of the 46 thousand pound Apollo

64
00:03:20,870 --> 00:03:17,790
spacecraft was jettisoned the instrument

65
00:03:22,970 --> 00:03:20,880
unit built by IBM performed precisely as

66
00:03:25,729 --> 00:03:22,980
designed commanding the flight of the

67
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:25,739
vehicle through payload separation this

68
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:27,510
was also the first flight test of the

69
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:29,760
instrument unit which like the second

70
00:03:36,590 --> 00:03:32,010
stage will be used with the saturn v

71
00:03:38,990 --> 00:03:36,600
launch vehicle ten minutes after liftoff

72
00:03:42,289 --> 00:03:39,000
the second stage engine had completed

73
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:42,299
its job and shut down at this point the

74
00:03:45,229 --> 00:03:44,370
Apollo spacecraft was a hundred sixty

75
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:45,239
miles high

76
00:03:51,050 --> 00:03:47,250
traveling over fifteen thousand miles

77
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:51,060
per hour after reaching an Apogee of

78
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:53,970
about 300 miles the spacecraft was

79
00:03:58,370 --> 00:03:55,290
propelled back into the Earth's

80
00:04:00,500 --> 00:03:58,380
atmosphere by a service module engine to

81
00:04:03,979 --> 00:04:00,510
provide an extreme test for the command

82
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:03,989
modules heat shield the command module

83
00:04:08,330 --> 00:04:06,450
was recovered in the South Atlantic by

84
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:08,340
Department of Defense recovery forces

85
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:11,850
and returned for detailed study the

86
00:04:16,460 --> 00:04:14,130
complete success of a s 201 in

87
00:04:18,529 --> 00:04:16,470
performing its prime missions which

88
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:18,539
included verifying spacecraft and launch

89
00:04:24,020 --> 00:04:21,209
vehicle compatibility and launch vehicle

90
00:04:26,029 --> 00:04:24,030
structural integrity provided NASA with

91
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:26,039
increased confidence in meeting its

92
00:04:32,930 --> 00:04:27,690
manned space exploration

93
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:32,940
goals as planned AAS 203 now scheduled

94
00:04:38,450 --> 00:04:36,090
for launch before a s 202 will not carry

95
00:04:40,970 --> 00:04:38,460
an Apollo spacecraft but rather a

96
00:04:43,580 --> 00:04:40,980
lightweight nose cone this will allow

97
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:43,590
the s4b to go into orbit with about ten

98
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:46,170
tons of liquid hydrogen aboard during

99
00:04:50,810 --> 00:04:48,690
the three orbit mission the dynamics of

100
00:04:53,060 --> 00:04:50,820
liquid hydrogen in space will be studied

101
00:04:55,060 --> 00:04:53,070
to gain additional data on the behavior

102
00:04:57,890 --> 00:04:55,070
of this fuel under weightless conditions

103
00:05:00,490 --> 00:04:57,900
such information is needed to perfect

104
00:05:10,180 --> 00:05:00,500
the restart of the s4b in Earth orbit

105
00:05:15,860 --> 00:05:13,700

quarter in late February to acceptance

119
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:49,470
