Title
NASA Administration Before the Senate Regarding Apollo 1
Full Description
Seated at the witness table before the Senate Committee on
Aeronautical and Space Services, chaired by Senator Clinton P.
Anderson, on the Apollo 1 (Apollo 204) accident are (left to
right): Dr. Robert C. Seamans, NASA Deputy Administrator;
James E. Webb, NASA Administrator; Dr. George E. Mueller,
Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight, and Maj. Gen.
Samuel C. Phillips, Apollo Program Director.
Astronauts Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee
died tragically inside the Apollo 1 Command Module during a
preflight test. The astronauts were unable to exit the
spacecraft when a fire, most likely caused by faulty wiring and
exacerbated by an oxygen leak, broke out in the Command Module.
