AS-202 (also referred to as SA-202 or Apollo 2) was the second uncrewed, suborbital test flight of a production Block I Apollo command and service module launched with the Saturn IB launch vehicle. It was launched on August 25, 1966, and was the first flight that included the spacecraft guidance, navigation control system and fuel cells. The success of this flight enabled the Apollo program to judge the Block I spacecraft and Saturn IB ready to carry men into orbit on the next mission, AS-204. ======================================= A special thanks to the channel supporters ( ): Andrew Rosenbaum Andrew Hamburg David Graves GSmith Gary Smith Gene Dorr Gio Pagliari Gort58 Jack Johnson Jan Strzelecki Jeff Pleimling Jules E Kevin Spencer Killraven Marco Zambianchi Mark Kirkman Michael Pennington Nathan Koga Popio Rick Durr Ryan Hardy Scott Manley Stephan ======================================== #apollo #saturn #moon
