Proposed Backup Crew for the Apollo D mission Two separate Saturn 1B launches would have put the Apollo CSM-101 spacecraft / AS-207 and Lunar Module LM-2 / AS-208 in to orbit for the first planned manned test space flight of the Apollo Lunar Module. After the cancellation of the Apollo AS-205 mission, the Saturn 1B AS-205 booster replaced the Saturn 1B AS-207 booster for the Apollo CSM-101 launch. After the Apollo 1 fire, it was decided to launch the mission on a single Saturn V. Apollo 9 completed the objectives of the Apollo D mission, and the Apollo CSM-101 spacecraft was used for the Apollo 7 mission. |
