The Apollo Missions Series continues with a camo pill container for Apollo 4. Lots of cats here including a CAT generator for more power. This mission was the first of my favorite rocket, the Saturn 5. Be sure to take note of the code on each cache to help you find the Apollo Missions Mystery Cache. NO Need to get near any cats here: stay away from generator
Apollo 4, also known as Apollo-Saturn 501 (AS-501), was the first unmanned test flight of the Saturn V launch vehicle, which was used by the Apollo program to send the first men to the Moon. Apollo 4 flew the S-IC first stage and S-II second stage for the first time, and demonstrated the first in-flight restart of the S-IVB third stage. The launch, at 7:00 a.m. EST on November 9, 1967 from Launch Complex 39, was the first from the John F. Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida. The mission tested the complete Saturn V and Apollo Command/Service Module (CSM) stack in what is known in the aerospace industry as an "all-up test", meaning all stages were live and functional on the first flight. The mission used a Block I CSM modified to test several important Block II revisions, including its heat shield at simulated lunar-return speeds of approximately 36,500 feet per second (11,100 m/s). The mission was deemed a complete success by NASA, and significantly advanced Apollo toward its goal of landing men on the Moon by the end of the 1960s.
