Title
Apollo 1 crew in training
Full Description
The prime crew of Apollo 1, Virgil I (Gus) Grissom, Edward H. White, II,
and Roger B. Chaffee, during training in Florida. On January 27, 1967, the
crew was killed when a fire erupted in their capsule during testing. Apollo 1
was originally designated AS- 204 but following the fire, the astronauts’
widows requested that the mission be remembered as Apollo 1 and following
missions would be numbered subsequent to the flight that never made it into
space.
