Atlas 5301 was mated with backup GATV 5001 at LC-14 on July 8, 1965 for fit and function tests for LC-14 and a Systems test for Atlas-Agena on July 26, 1965. Atlas 5301 remained at LC-14 until GATV 5002 was mated to it on October 10, 1965 for the ill-fated GT-6 attempt. GATV 5001 was eventually refurbished for the GT-12 mission. Ed Hengeveld
