Description
View from on board the top of the second stage (S-II) of Apollo 3's Saturn 1B rocket watching the third stage S-IVB J-2 engine burn to carry it and the unmanned Apollo Command and Service Modules into high Earth orbit for subsequent re-entry tests. As the third stage disappears out of view the second stage starts to fall back towards the Earth, revealing a view of the planet from 200,000 feet high. The camera ejection moment is caught in the last few frames of the film. Inside its own small capsule it re-entered the atmosphere and parachuted back into the Atlantic Ocean where it was recovered and the film developed. For more information about this clip please visit NASA's Apollo 11 Flight Journal page.
