Manned Space Flight : Quarterly Report Number 17 (1967)

In Spring 1967, a critical review of the U.S. manned space flight program was initiated following the Apollo spacecraft accident. The Apollo program adjusted schedules and intensified preparations for upcoming missions. Astronauts Wally Schirra, Don Eisley, and Walter Cunningham were announced as the prime flight crew for the first Apollo mission. The spacecraft underwent significant modifications to enhance safety and reliability, including new systems for lunar missions. Unmanned missions were also being prepared to test lunar module systems. The Saturn 5 launch vehicle was tested and prepared for future missions, while lunar exploration continued with successful missions like Lunar Orbiter 4 and Surveyor 3. The overall momentum of the Apollo program was growing, driven by a commitment to overcome challenges and achieve space exploration goals.
