Description

Clouds and Ocean can be seen on the Earth below as the orbital flight unfolds.

Historic Context of Clip
Background to Apollo 202:
AS-202 (also known as the Apollo 3 mission) was the second test flight of the Saturn 1B rocket. Part of the mission was to test the Command and Service Modules (CSM-011) including a test of the Command Module's heat shield during re-entry. The Command Module was unmanned but carried the guidance and navigation system and the fuel cell electrical system for test flight purposes. It splashed down 370 km from the target landing site, near Wake Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It took the USS Hornet 8 hours and 30 minutes to reach the capsule. The capsule is currently on display on the Hornet ship in Alameda California.
