AS-204 was to be the first manned flight of a Command and Service Module
(CSM) to Earth orbit, launched on a Saturn 1B. CM-012, the Apollo 1 Command
Module, was of an early Block I design before the Lunar Module (LM) landing
technique was chosen, and therefore lacked the docking equipment needed for
mating to a LM. This would be added to the later Block II design, along with
lessons learned to solve technical problems encountered in Block I. At first only
two manned Block I missions were planned, but the second one was cancelled in
late 1966.
The AS-204 mission was scheduled for February 21, 1967, having already missed
a target date for the last quarter of 1966 (it was suggested that the first Apollo
flight might coincide with the last Gemini flight, and rendezvous, but this never
seems to have been a serious possibility). The flight was to test launch
operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the
Apollo-Saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks,
depending on how the spacecraft performed. Grissom resolved to keep AS-204 in
orbit for a full 14 days if there was any way to do so.
AS-204 was intended to be followed by two more Apollo missions in the summer
and late autumn of 1967. The first of these would have launched a Block II CSM
on a Saturn IB along with an unmanned LM on a second Saturn IB, for a CSM-LM
rendezvous and docking in low Earth orbit. The second mission would have
launched the CSM and LM together on a Saturn V to high Earth orbit.
