Suborbital uncrewed test flight of the Apollo CSM and Saturn IB launch vehicle.
The Saturn IB (pronounced "one B", also known as the Uprated Saturn I) was an American launch vehicle commissioned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the Apollo program. It replaced the S-IV second stage of the Saturn I with the much more powerful S-IVB, able to launch a partially fueled Apollo Command/Service Module (CSM) or a fully fueled Lunar Module (LM) into low Earth orbit for early flight tests before the larger Saturn V needed for lunar flight was ready.
Apollo CSM used for the AS-201 flight and drop tests. Currently on display at the Strategic Air and Space Museum near Offutt Air Force Base in Ashland, Nebraska.
