In March 1970 he became the first of the scientist-astronauts to be assigned to space flight, joining Richard F. Gordon, Jr. ( Commander ) and Vance Brand ( Command Module Pilot ) on the Apollo 15 backup crew.

In the final design, the SWS and ATM were launched together, but for the single-launch concept to work, the ATM had to pivot 90 degrees on a truss structure from its launch position to its on-orbit orientation, clearing the way for the crew to dock its Apollo Command / Service Module at the axial docking port of the Multiple Docking Adapter.

Columbia was named after the historical poetic name for the United States of America, like the explorer ship of Captain Robert Gray and the Command Module of Apollo 11, the first manned landing on another celestial body.

Three manned missions to the station, conducted between 1973 and 1974 using the Apollo Command / Service Module ( CSM ) atop the smaller Saturn IB, each delivered a three-astronaut crew.

Studies generally looked at platforms launched by the Saturn V, followed up by crews launched on Saturn IB using an Project Apollo | Apollo Command / Service Module, or a Gemini capsule on a Titan II-C, the latter being much less expensive in the case where cargo was not needed.

Grissom was backup command pilot for Gemini 6A when he shifted to the Apollo program and was assigned as Command Pilot of the first manned mission AS-204, with Senior Pilot Ed White and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee.

The fire's ignition source was never determined, but their deaths were attributed to a wide range of lethal hazards in the early Apollo Command Module design and conditions of the test, including a pressurized 100 % oxygen pre-launch atmosphere, many wiring and plumbing flaws, flammable materials used in the cockpit and the astronauts ' flight suits, and an inward-opening hatch which could not be opened quickly in an emergency, and could not be opened at all with full internal pressure.

He was also named the astronaut specialist for the flight control systems of the Apollo Command / Service Module.

In March 1966 he was selected as Senior Pilot ( second seat ) for the first manned Apollo flight, designated AS-204, along with Command Pilot Virgil " Gus " Grissom, who had flown in space on the Mercury 4 Liberty Bell 7 mission and as commander of the Gemini 3 Molly Brown mission, and Pilot Roger Chaffee, who had yet to fly into space.

The fire's ignition source was never determined, but their deaths were attributed to a wide range of lethal hazards in the early Apollo Command Module design and workmanship, and conditions of the test, including: the highly pressurized 100 % oxygen pre-launch atmosphere ; many wiring and plumbing flaws ; flammable materials used in the cockpit and the astronauts ' flight suits ; and the hatch which could not be opened quickly in an emergency.

On 21 March 1966, he received his first spaceflight assignment as Pilot for the first manned Apollo flight, AS-204, along with Command Pilot Grissom and Senior Pilot White.

The prime contractor for the program was North American Aviation ( later Rockwell International, now Boeing ), the same company responsible for building the Apollo Command / Service Module.

Later in the 1960s, Sylvania's Electronic Systems Division in Needham, MA developed and manufactured several instruments for the Apollo Lunar Lander and Command Module using electroluminescent display panels manufactured by the Electronic Tube Division of Sylvania at Emporium, PA. Raytheon, Sudbury, MA, manufactured the Apollo guidance computer, which used a Sylvania electroluminescent display panel as part of its display-keyboard interface ( DSKY ).

Apollo / Saturn vehicles were also used for an Apollo Applications program which consisted of three Skylab space station missions in 1973 – 74.

The first Socket 7 chipsets to support AGP were the VIA Apollo VP3, SiS 5591 / 5592, and the ALI Aladdin V. Intel never released an AGP-equipped Socket 7 chipset.

Holly helped win over an all-black audience to rock and roll / rockabilly when the Crickets were booked at New York's Apollo Theater for August 16 – 22, 1957.

The most valuable evidence, if relevant, are the treaties and letters mentioned in Hittite cuneiform texts of the same approximate era, which mention an unruly Western Anatolian warlord named Piyama-Radu ( possibly Priam ) and his successor Alaksandu ( possibly Alexander, the nickname of Paris ) both based in Wilusa ( possibly Ilion / Ilios ), as well as the god Apaliunas ( possibly Apollo ).

The complex also includes the separate Apollo / Saturn V Center, north of the VAB and the United States Astronaut Hall of Fame, six miles west near Titusville.

He attempted to rape Leto near Delphi under the orders of Hera, but was laid low by the arrows of Apollo and / or Artemis, as Pindar recalled in a Pythian ode.

The 68000 became the dominant CPU for Unix based workstations including Sun workstations and Apollo / Domain workstations, found its way into heralded computers such as the Apple Lisa and Macintosh, Amiga, Atari ST, and was used in the first generation of desktop laser printers including the original Apple Inc. LaserWriter and the HP LaserJet.

At its introduction, the 68000 was first used in high-priced systems, including multiuser microcomputers like the WICAT 150, early Alpha Microsystems computers, Sage II / IV, Tandy TRS-80 Model 16, and Fortune 32: 16 ; single-user workstations such as Hewlett-Packard's HP 9000 Series 200 systems, the first Apollo / Domain systems, Sun Microsystems ' Sun-1, and the Corvus Concept ; and graphics terminals like Digital Equipment Corporation's VAXstation 100 and Silicon Graphics ' IRIS 1000 and 1200.

There is also an evident consensus among popular authors that he predicted whatever major event had just happened at the time of each book's publication, from the Apollo moon landings, through the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997, and the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, to the events of 9 / 11: this ' movable feast ' aspect appears to be characteristic of the genre.

On the third mission, an additional Apollo / Saturn IB stood by, ready for launch if needed to rescue the crew in orbit.

The first EVA in deep space was made on August 5, 1971, by American Al Worden, to retrieve a film and data recording canister from the Apollo 15 Service Module on the return trip from the Moon.

But the LM was not ready for its first flight, leading NASA management to decide to replace Borman's mission with a lunar orbit flight using just the Command / Service Module as Apollo 8 in December, making McDivitt's flight Apollo 9 in March 1969.

Along with learning the new Apollo Command / Service Module ( CSM ) and the Apollo Lunar Module ( LM ), Collins received helicopter training, as these were thought to be the best way to simulate the landing approach of the LM.

In 1969, the United States Postal Service issued a stamp ( Scott # 1371 ) commemorating the Apollo 8 flight around the moon.

Laser altimeter data obtained during the Apollo 15 and 16 missions showed that the northern portion of this basin was very deep, but since these data were only available along the near-equatorial ground tracks of the orbiting Command and Service Modules, the topography of the rest of the basin remained unknown.

The Martin Company was also one of two finalists for the Command and Service Modules of the Apollo Program.
