McDivitt

---

1967 August. (Cancelled flight). Crew: McDivitt, Schweickart, Scott. Backup Crew: Cernan, Stafford, Young. Program: Apollo. Before the Apollo 1 fire, it was planned that McDivitt's crew would conduct the Apollo D mission - a first manned test in earth orbit of the Lunar Module. Separate Saturn IB launches would put Apollo Block II CSM 101 / AS-207 and Lunar Module LM-2 / AS-208 into earth orbit. The crew would then rendezvous and dock with the lunar module and put it through its paces. After the fire, it was decided to launch the mission on a single Saturn V as Apollo 9. CSM-101 instead would be used to accomplish the Apollo C mission that Grissom's crew was to have flown.

When Schirra's Apollo 2 / AS-205 mission was cancelled in November 1966, the booster went to McDivitt's mission, and it was called AS (or Apollo) 205/208, or AS-258 (before Schirra's cancellation, McDivitt's was AS-278, because it used Saturn IB boosters 207 and 208).

• - 1967 August - Apollo 207 (cancelled)  Crew: McDivitt, Schweickart, Scott. Spacecraft: Apollo CSM. Payload: CSM-101. Launch Vehicle: Saturn I, Saturn V.
