1967 Oct 12 - Nation: USA.

Apollo CSM 101 entry monitor system Program: Apollo. Spacecraft: Apollo CSM. Flight: Apollo 7.
ASPO Manager George Low submitted a memorandum for the record on the September 29 decision not to check out the spacecraft 101 entry monitor system (EMS).
He said: ". . . it has come to my attention that this decision had been based on incomplete information. Because the EMS incorporates both the Delta V counter and the .05 g indication on Block II spacecraft, this system is required for all missions, including 101. . . . "I verbally directed North American on October 10, 1967, that this system will be checked out on Spacecraft 101."
