21-536: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages AS-104 AS-104 was the fourth orbital test of a boilerplate Apollo spacecraft , and the second flight of the Pegasus micrometeoroid detection satellite . It was launched by SA-8, the ninth Saturn I carrier rocket. The primary mission objective was to demonstrate the launch vehicle's iterative guidance mode and to evaluate system accuracy. The launch trajectory
28-459: The four engines were of a prototype configuration instead of all engines being simulated. This was the first nighttime launch in the Saturn I series. A built-in 35 minute hold was used to ensure that launch time coincided with the opening of the launch window. AS-104 was launched from Cape Kennedy Launch Complex 37B at 2:35:01 a.m. EST (07:35:01 GMT) on May 25, 1965. The launch was normal and
35-408: The payload was inserted into orbit approximately 10.6 minutes after lift-off. The total mass placed in orbit, including the spacecraft, Pegasus B, adapter, instrument unit, and S-IV stage, was 34,113 pounds (15,473 kg). The perigee and apogee were 314.0 and 464.1 miles (505 and 747 km), respectively; the orbital inclination was 31.78'. The 1397 kilogram (3080-pound) Pegasus 2 satellite
42-573: Was also carried to orbit by SA-8, being stowed inside the boilerplate's service module, and remaining attached to the S-IV stage. The actual trajectory was close to the one predicted, and the spacecraft was separated 806 seconds after lift-off. Several minor malfunctions occurred in the S-I stage propulsion system; however, all mission objectives were achieved.

49-459: Was similar to that of mission AS-103. The Saturn launch vehicle SA-8 and payload were similar to those of mission AS-103, except that a single reaction control engine assembly was mounted on the boilerplate service module (BP-26). The assembly was instrumented to acquire additional data on launch environment temperatures. This assembly also differed from the one on the AS-101 mission in that two of
