1966-U04
Apollo SC009 was launched on 1966 Feb 26 at 1612 aboard Saturn 201 (AS-201). It separated from S-IVB-201 at 1622 and reached apogee at 500 km. At 1632 it ignited the SPS engine for 3 min 4 sec, followed by another 10s burn at 1635, accelerating the spacecraft to lunar reentry speeds. CM-009 then seperated from the SM-009 service module. It reentered the atmosphere at 8.1 km/s and splashed down at 1651 in the Atlantic having travelled 9000 km. It was recovered by the USS Boxer.
