Apollo One is the name given to the AS-204 spacecraft after it was destroyed by fire during a training exercise. January 27‚ 1967 the crew of Apollo commonly known as Saturn 204 began training for the first Apollo mission. On this mission they were going to orbit Earth‚ they were scheduled to launch February 21. The AS-204 mission was scheduled for the first quarter of 1967‚ having already missed a target date for the last quarter of 1966. The shuttle was placed on launch pad 34 at the Kennedy

Lovell and Haise do not have a strong cohesive relationship with Swigert simply because they have not had the proper amount of time to train with him. The third critical event occurs as the astronauts are performing routine maintenance onboard the spacecraft. Swigert is commanded by Mission Control to ¡°stir the oxygen tanks‚¡± which causes an explosion resulting in a loss of oxygen supply to the astronauts. This incident changes the progress of the

Free-fall is arguably the most important aspect of space travel. The free-fall law is put into action during the re-entry of the space craft to Earth. When the spacecraft enters Earth’s gravity‚ it enters the Earth at an angle. Once they get close enough‚ they start feeling terminal velocity. After falling at 9/8 m/s^2‚ they reach
