Demonstrate structure and thermal integrity and compatibility of
launch vehicle and spacecraft; confirm launch loads and dynamic
characteristics (Achieved). Demonstrate separation of launch vehicle
stages (Achieved). Evaluate performance of emergency detection system
in closed-loop configuration (Achieved). Verify operation of Saturn V
propulsion, guidance and control, and electrical systems. (Not
Achieved because of early cutoff of two of the S-II stage J-2 engines

recovered by U.S.S. Okinawa and on board at 10:55 p.m. EST.
Mission Highlights:
Apogee, 367 kilometers; perigee, 178 kilometers (nearly circular
orbit intended, but early cutoff of S-II engines and overburn of S-IVB
engine caused unplanned orbital parameters); after S-IVB engine failed
to reignite, a 422-second burn of the SPS engine sent the spacecraft
to an altitude of 22, 209 kilometers.

The United Colonies 1st
