Astronauts C.C. Williams (left) and Gene Cernan wait for launch of SA-9. The eighth Saturn I vehicle was launched February 16, 1965, at 9:37 a.m. EST from Launch Complex 37B at Cape Kennedy, Fla. The 18-story high rocket orbited the first Pegasus meteoroid detection satellite. The eighth vehicle to be flown, SA-9, was launched out of sequence before SA-8 because its assembly and ground testing were completed earlier. |
