Yes. it was the first unmanned flight of Saturn IB and Block I CSM. The flight ws suborbital to Atlantic Ocean and was also used to qualify the heat shield to orbital reentry speed
What else can I help you with?
Who was on the Apollo 2 mission?
No one. After the fire of Apollo 1, all missions up to Apollo 6 included were unmanned test flights.
Why was Apollo 2 launched?
Apollo 2 (AS-201) was an A mission, an unmanned flight used to test the Apollo hardware. It was laucnhed for testing purposes.
Why wasn't there an Apollo 2?
There was in fact an Apollo 2 mission. It was an unmanned mission and essentially a test flight for hardware testing.
Who was on the crew of Apollo 2?
AS-203 (informally called Apollo 2) was an unmanned mission on July 21, 1966 to test aspects of the Saturn V rocket. Officially, there is no Apollo 2. NASA administrators were not sure they wanted to continue with the Apollo name after the Apollo 1 tragedy. Before they made a decision there were two unmanned test flights, officially named AS-203 and AS-202
Who made Apollo 2?
Officially there was no Apollo 2. There was an unmanned test flight of the Saturn V that took place after the Apollo 1 disaster, but at the time NASA's administration had not decided to continue using the Apollo name. Therefore Apollo 2 does not exist
What was the purpose of the Apollo 2 mission?
There was no Apollo 2 mission. The Apollo program started with Apollo 1 and then continued to Apollo 7. This numbering change occurred because the first mission ended in a tragic accident during a pre-launch test, leading to a reassignment of mission numbers.
Did Apollo 2 land on the moon?
No, only Apollo 11, out of all the Apollo missions, successfully landed astronauts on the moon. Apollo 2 was an unmanned mission which was intended to test the Saturn rocket.
Who flew in Apollo 2?
The Apollo 2 was unmanned. After the fire of Apollo 1, NASA felt safer testing the rocket without any crew aboard first. The next manned mission after the Apollo 1 fire was Apollo 7.
Apollo 2 crew?
The crew of Apollo 2 consisted of Commander Wally Schirra and Co-pilot Donn Eisele. However, Apollo 2 was never launched as a manned mission, as it was initially canceled due to changes in the Apollo program. It was later re-designated as Apollo 1 after a fatal accident during a pre-launch test for the mission designated Apollo 204.
What happened to Apollo 2-6?
Apollo's 2 and 3 were ultimately not assigned. Apollo's 4, 5, & 6 were unmanned flights. A detailed chronology of Apollo's 2-6 begins with Apollo Saturn 204. AS-204, the official designation for Apollo 1, was scheduled to launch Feb. 21 1967. The name "Apollo 1" was chosen by the crew (Grissom, White, & Chaffee). A second and a third manned Apollo crews were selected and had begun training as of Jan. 1967. If Apollo 1 had launched successfully, the second and third crews would likely carry the following designations: Apollo 2 - McDivitt, Scott, and Schweickart (who would later crew Apollo 9) and Apollo 3 - Borman, Collins, and Anders (this crew would become Apollo 8, with Lovell replacing Collins). Following the Apollo 1 fire, NASA retired the Apollo 1 designation to honor the crew. The subsequent investigation and spacecraft redesign delayed manned Apollo flights for 21 months. During this time NASA applied the "popular" designation sequence to three unmanned Apollo flights. Apollo 4 (launched 11/9/67) was 1st test of the Saturn V, Apollo 5 (launched 1/22/68) 1st test of the Lunar Module, and Apollo 6 (launched 4/4/68) 2nd test of the Saturn V. It is said that NASA applied the designation Apollo 2 and 3 retroactively to AS-202 and AS-203, two unmanned Apollo Saturn 1B test flights launched in 1966, but this was never official. Apollo 7, making up Apollo 1's backup crew of Schirra, Eisele, and Cunningham, became the first manned Apollo mission launching in Oct. 11, 1968.
What did Apollo 1 through 8 do?
Most of them were unmanned test flights with a few notable exclusions. Apollo 1 and her crew were destroyed in a fire weeks before the launch was scheduled. Apollo 7 was the first manned flight of the Apollo hardware, and Apollo 8 carried the first humans ever into orbit around the moon. All other flights were test flights.
Who was in Apollo 4?
Apollo 4 was a test flight of the Saturn V/Apollo spacecraft. There was no crew.
